Prompted by an honest desire of my heart ! wish
to lay before the public which deserves COM
incubation, not only as an act of scientific skill, but
that OF humanity also. About two years ago l sud
denly, and from causes unknown to me, was seized
with fit of Epilepsy, which, owing to my inability to
meet the expenses consequent upon thorough medi-
cal treatment, and the Encouragement which met
with on attempting it, became such (as was then
led 10 beeve) as 70 defy the skill Of any ph yscan
was frequently while in pursuit of my calling, thrown
down to the ground without the slightest warning; and
although insensbe to the agonies yet despised the
miseries of my life, and soon learned to look upon
those who would render assistance or shelter from
danger as enemies who sought to prolong the existence
OF my miseries While in this state, and having, pre-
vious to my allicon tasted the sweets of life, once
more was induced 10 attempt seeking aid OF phps-
ean, and by recommendation called upon Dr. L. j.
Czapkay. told him Of my circumstances, aud of my
inability to reward him for his services regardless of
which, however, he at once undertook my case, and,
with the blessing Of God, once more restored to
perfect health. Unable to re ward him for the boon
which enioy at present, and yet conscious of NV in
debtedness, consider IL due to myself and all afflicted
to make the public, in order that those in need
ofmedical advice may find physician in whom every
confidence can be placed

the the undersigned having been under the treat
ment OF Dr. L. j. Czapkay, although unsolicited, feel
called upon TO give publicity to his treatment hoping
that by doing Imay be instrumental in preventing
others from the fearful suffering and misery which
experienced, and which often result from the per
nicous practice Of pretenders My disease has bee n
that of physical and mental debility, which follows ia
consequence of indiscretions In youth. The agones
which endured are, prehaps unnecessary for me 10
detail, they known to those who have Experienced
them. Suffice to say, that having called the services
of DIR. l.. j. Czlpkay into requston all the exnecto
tions which may have formed Of him were more
than realized. | would therefore recommend DR. Ozen
kay all who may find themselves afflicted win tSat
dreadful mady, my object in so doing being svm
pathy for suffering humanity, and harfelt desire Of
relieving them D. j. DAHLEE, Printer.

by NJ. flsrsen. We select the most impor-
tant and interesting parts:
CATHARIsEs ARRIVAL AT MOSCOW, AND
WHAT SIZE FOUND.
/ We take CaIharine as We find her in these
memoirs. Let her conduct speak 70, il.
self.
Along with her mother she arrived a,
Moscow OH the 9th o: February, 17I4, a
poor German Princess, whose entire linen,
as she informs us, consisted Of dozen
chrmises, who was compelled, having 10
sheets ul her own, 10 nse those of Ler
mother, and who brought an astonishing
wardrobe Of three or four dresses 10 a
Court where they had TO change their dres-
SEES at least three or four times day. She
arrived as the expectanl bride OF her cousin,
Charles Frederic, Duke of Holsi.in Got
turp, who was q grandson of Peter the
Great, who was selected by the Empress
EhZsbeih as her successor, and who, in
adopting the Greek communion, took thu
name oi Peter.
The life Of Court presents little that is
attractive 10 ordinary morals; and the hle oi
the Russian Court VAS peculiarly dismal
lis Iormali'y was oppressive, its cpiannee
was irigltful, and there was nothing but
intrigue and drink 10 relieve the stately te.

scale Of wha, DR.. Primrose says were the
most important incidents III the history oil

the blue room 10 the red room, and back
again from the red room TO the blue room.
In this siagnatIon OF life, this Siberian ice
love MAS impossible and hatred took lis
place. Universal srliishness, universal
suspicion, universal plotting and counter
plotting were the order of the day. We
might add-universal tipple, seeing that
even ladies' Of the brdchalnber could get

Steam Propellors on Common Roads

Meeker, Reed & Logan, machinists. of New
ark, have just completed draft locomotive
for propelling freight wagons across the plains
to the Rocky Mountains. This iron horse was
built on contract for Maj. J. R. Brown, of Min
nesota, Indian Agent. 1t consists of an ordi-
nary locomotive boiler, two oscillating engines,
and suitable carriage and steering apparatus.
The whole machine weighs about fourteentons,
is well and strongly built, and while exhibiting
appeared to be under the perfect control of
the operator. In respect to steering appara-
tus, it is similar to other machines of the kind,
having single wheel operated by windlass.
The principal novelty of the thing is the ar
rangement and use of a portable railroad track,
which it carries along with it. This consists
of two large hoops or rings, fourteen inches
broad and eight inches in diameter, arranged
with guides and friction rollers to keep them
in a vertical position; while the driving
wheels-five feet in diameter-revolve with
them, thus forming bed or track for the
drivers. In its trial yesterday, with one hun
dred and forty pounds of steam, it went stead
lily up very rough, unpaved, quilted street,
having g1ade of some ten feet in one hun
dred and fifty feet in length.
