for its unusual weight, and found, instead Of
the remains Of corpse, stone figure, the
exact counterpart OF the voman who bad
died. TINS strange story coon spread, and
hundreds and thousands .! psrsars were pre-
sent to sec the strange spectacle. The hus-

es.ing description Of Ricord, probably the
greatest living physician in the world: lie

finished his remark with low and suppress
ed laugh and his servants scattered, ana l
had a view of the man. lmagiuc man
about fifty-fve years of age, OF medium height
slightly inclined to en.bonpo'Ht, OF pale COM
plexion, blush grey eYes. and brown hair
slightly spripkled with grey. A prominent
forehead and temples, over which ran blue
veins and crows feet wrinkles, heavy under
Jaw, and thick underlip, make his iace ono
that could scarcely pass unnotlced. Ills eye
had but little animation. lis fire seems to
have burned out, but his wit is triliiaat as
ever. lie evidently prides himself much on
this power. When be was making bis OF
sorvation of patient, his eyes started from
his head and rolled around, but seemed to Tx
themselves on no object, and his remar k on
case were frequently inerspersed with ex'
CARNATIONS aud short sayings, calculated to
produce laugh. He is great actor, and
his vast knowledge in oil departments of sci
epce would have made him conspicuous IN
any profession. Although he Is a nanse OF
America, being born in America, it Is said
be seldom, or neser, mentions the SUBJECT.

The Portuguese Difficulty.

For many years, Portugal has been prac'
tically dependency Of England. The in
Hueuce of the latter power with the small
Peninsular kingdom, has been greatly pre-
ponderating, even over her own incllDatione,
as was shown particularly in her abandon
ment of the slave trade, which she gave up
with great reluctance, and only in obedience
to the will of Great Britain. Yet it Is now
precisely in tho support Of British policy in
this matter that che has drawn down upon
her the insults and menaces Of France. The
affair with Portugal, relative to the Capture
of the Charles ct Georges and her cargo OF
Africans. presents, therefore, the most inter
estng question of the day, and one which il
would seem impossible should he solved with
out an unmistakable defeat of English policy
or the alternative of dissolution of the ALI
ance between the two countries and resort
to arms. The humiliation of Portugal will
be the humiliation of England. 1t will be SO
felt and understood not only, but it will be
so 10 its practical effects. The triumph OF
France in the present instance will be severe
blow to the pride and power Of Great Britain,
for if she Yields in this she must copcede in
other things hereafter Bah. Am.

Richard D:lloa, who was sufJcited III the
chimney Of dsreputable house in the VI
cinity of Fourth and Shippen streets, on Mon.
day night, was q brother OF j Jbn Dillon, who
was charged with participation in the murder
Of Bird the jeweler, some six years since,
and who was a year or two alter shot 10 a
riot. Yesterday, yet more fearful interest
was added to the affair, by suicide-the
death, by set-tr0wnlng of a distress OF Dr.
l1n's. This girl lived in Pane alley, ana
went by the name OF Acne Smith" ali as
suncd one. Dillon had quarre!ed with her,
and she had declared the intention OF drown
ing herself in consequence of his threats,
She declared her intention to commit suicide
10 several persons during the evening, and
had gone so far Us to give away her !ew
effects to different parties, when intelligence
of the death Of Dillon was brought to her.
She rhcn said goodbye" TO those who were
abuut Der, and went away. Yesterday morn
Ing, at dayhreak, her body WAS iount float

bard and South streets.
The BODY of the wrrtched woman was tied
to a boat, ami the water, as II rippleu over
Der face, waited her scarcely disheveiied hG!r
about npon its surface. Upon the wharf,
hundreds Of curious gazcrs were gathered,
aud among the thrOng tbore were many te-
males, who belong to the same .bandonei
class as the poor suicide, and VINO seemed
attracted to The scene by some Irresistible at
t,action. The body was finally dragged our
Of the river and laid upon the wharf, until
the dead cart should arrive. \ jury was
sun noued, and proceeded 10 house near by,
where an iequest was held, and veFd.ct

drowning, rendered. Dillon seems to have
been benz upon mischief at the tine be met

bly, prevented the commission OF serious

appeared on Sunday, announcing Monday as

ing an order was issued closing the church
for .ha. day, and all churches were equally
closed against that service. Ar the time ap-
pointed some friends, aud perhaps one hun
dred sIasons, assembled, and found not only
the doors closed but the iron gates IN front lock-
ed. Tho friends dispersed but the Masons
proceeded az once in a body to tue house OF tue
Governor ute E,cto President,) and through
n spokesman, laid the matter before him.
lie heard them with respect, and ADVISED
them 10 make proper application to the gov
eminent, and have the matter regularly 10
ves;igated, which for the present was salts

An address is now being prepared to the

The result you will learn. Already arrange
ments are being made Tor a funeral which
shall not be a failure; and the man, no.

Daily Immersion orthe Head.

DR.. Bissell, one of the quarantine physi-
cans at Staten Island, in giving the testimony
touching the matter of the late riots, stated
it as his opinion chat il Il persou's hair is
washed and combed every day, he is not lia-
bic to disease, because cleanliness of the per-
son is always a preventive. If a man were
at work all day in the vicinity Of the sick,
and the hair vet with perspirstion, the doctor
don't thnk he would get tho disease; but 1t
he let's his hair get dirty and matted, be
thinks he could not very well escape"
The Norfolk Herald copies the foregoing
ard adds the following corroboratlve testl-
moDy:
So important result from 30 simple n
cause may seem incredible to many, but not
to US. There is not more effectual preVen-
tive Of disease than the immersion Of the head
in cold water every morning the year round.
We know an old gentleman now the rise OF
seventy, who says that until be was thirty
years old he was of u weakly constitution,
and particularly liable to attacks of bilious
fever, violent colds and headache; Tut haVln
heard that the best preventive Of headache
was to wash the head in cold water every
morning, Immediately after rising, he then
commenced the practice, and has continued
it to the present time, aud during the 10
terval Of forty years has never had the bilious
fever, hardly known what the headache Ia aud
though sometimes taking cold, has never had
a cold that bndered him from attending to
BIZ. ordinary affairs; add to this, ne passed un-
scathed through the terrible epidemic Of 1883

DR., q. X. Funston.

An overwhelming majority OF the voters
of the Frederick Senatorial district, without
regard to party, will deeply regret to learn
that DR.. Oliver Il Funston, the present Sens-
tor, has decided to retire from political life,
and that the cntreaties Of bis numerous
friends TO become candidate for reelection
next May, have been unaVaiing. His pur.
poses, it would seem. are fixed. This almost
universal regret at the Doctors retirement
is NOT to be wondered at, because, whilst he
is warm part;zan, yet in the strl!es and
turmoils of party, be has never lost eight OF
the civiities of a gentleman aud the duties
of representative. As a Senator (uow
eight years. be has been among the most
efficient. welding as much influence in that
body as any other member. Whilst others OF
his brother Senators may have been lnduig-
ing in speaking for Bunccmbe, be, by his
amenity of manners, hbersllty, knowledge
of mankind, and business habits, has been
efficiently and practically taking care OF the
interests Of his constituents and OF the peo-
ple of the State The Doctor has done the
State some service, for which he deserves our
highest need of praise Winchester I"g'n.

Provincial trade supplies US with immense
quantities of Salmon, Mackerel, Cod Fish,

England trade il largely supplied from here,
II small part of the Western also, and the
shipments from this port to New Orleans, San
Francisco, Cuba, South America ard West
Indies, in kits, barrels, bids, and drums, are
very extensive. Tue great centre Of the
American fisheries, the town Of Gloucester,
formerly seut large quantity to this market,
hut now sends very few. As New York is
,hc great mackerel market Of this country,
and is sales of cod fish are enormous, and as
It has the whole West to tupply, nearly the
entire cGtch OF gloucester Is carried TO that
market, and agents and purchasers from that
city are constantly referring to the GlOucss-
Ter quotations and arrivals. A tlees OF five
