THE "RErIRED PHYsIcIAN."- appears that DIR
James, the "retired physician, whose sands of life
have nearly run out, has retired and run out from
the scenes of his labOrs leaving behind him dis

his famous Cannibs lndica, or East Indian Hemp
which had saved his only daughter from the grave
was able to arrest the mysterious proves by which
his shadow grew less and less until it entirely dis
| appeared. His "sands of life" he has. however
converted into sands of gold and the possession of
one hundred thousand dollars consoles him for his
compulsory flight from the gaieties of New York.
The ''retired physician" is not the only masquerade
in which the departed Brown-his real name-has
figured. ~. -
He was also H. Monsett, who taught people to
change mercury into gold; he was Prof James IT,

These facts have just been brought to light by the
New York police, who are now in eager pursuit of
the retired and retiring physician
1t appears that there was no Cannibis L,dico in
the medicine OF Brown, but merely compound of
hqu0rlce, slippery elm decOctiOn, and honey cost
ing sixteen cents, bottle and all and for which he
charged 50. His 'Reguatng and Purifying PIN
and Excelsior Ointment of India were made on
.he same principle and sold for as many dollars as
they cost him cents. The most magnificent of his
cosmetics, ''The Milk of Roses and Extract of FL
der Blossoms, turns out to have been mixture of
magnesia and alcohol, costing about cents-price
% bottle. 1t remains to be seen under what new
disguise the "retired physician will make his
next appearance before the public.

10 us was something entirely new. 1t occupied

at the top and passing down into other chambers
attached to the main receiver, and operating in a

that OF steam-engine.
This small affair had lathe attached, on which
was wagon hub inches in diameter turning with
TWO or three hundred revolutions in minute and
with such force as to admit the application of A
gouge for turning the hub. This invention is de-
signed to supersede all other applications of cold
water power; and the inventor, Mr.. Kells Hord as
sures us That 1t will give at least four times the
power acquired by the application of the same guam
tity OF water in any other way, and will combine
cheapness with other advantages For mills ON
small streams, it is peculiarly adapted if the inyen
