A LIZARD IN MANS SToMAcH-SISGU
LAR CIRcuMsrAxcE.-On Saturday week
live lizard, seven inches long and two inch
es and half in circumference, was passed
from the bowels of Bfr. Abner C. Verrill,
son of. Mr.. Cyrus ]. Verrill, of West Au-
burn Maiue). The circumstances attend
ing this expulsion are detailed by Mr.. Yer
rill, and his high character for veracity and
probity, removes ali doubts of its reality,
however. impossible it may appear. Mr..
VerrilI is about twenty three years of age,
and for the past six or seven years he has
been in declining health. although preyi-
ously he bad been healthy aud robust. Du-
ring all this time he has been subject to
fainting spells, sharp pains and weakness in
the region of the stomach and bowls, and
costiveness and stoppages. and, notgith-
standing. be has at times had an inordinate
appetite, yet his weight has fallen off from
one hundred and fifty pounds, when he was
sixteen or seventeen years of age; to one
hundred and thirty pounds at the present
time.
The lizard is of the common dark color
ed and spotted species. but when it was first
expelled it was much lighter colored 1t Is
probable that the reptile was drank from
brook which runs near meadow where Mr.
Yerrill has been accustomed TO work

EXCITING CHASE OF A SLAvER.-AppaHiug
Scene.-A letter from ST. Paul de Loando, Feb
q, 1860, says -
"The principal bit of news is the loss of one
OF our Baltimore slaverS, as fine looking a
clipper-bui hermaphrodite brig as ever was
seen in these waters. On the 10th of this
month, as her majesty's steamer Gloucester
was cruising to the southwark of Cape Lopez
they made a sail to leeward They immedi-
ately put her before the wind to give chase,
which maneuver the fellow observing, he i'm
mediately followed suit, with view of round
ing Cape Lopez, and probably escaping after
nighttall, by running into some of the small
rivers inside of the Blight or Bafra He
proved himself a match, however, for his YES
sci sailed like witch, and gained on the
steamer nearly the whole day, when, at about
five o'clock in the afternoon, the Portuguese
steamer Tagus hove in sight on the weather
bow, thus cutting off the fellows chance of
rounding the Cape. Seeing his chance thus
lost, he stood her directly on to the rocks of
the Cape just before shutdown the Portu-
guese gave him the contents of several thirty
two Founders, which brought his foretopmast
| down, and, as it was blowing almost gale of
| wind, his jibboom followed directly after.
However, the fellow stopped for nothing
and, just as night set in, drove her high ON the
| IOSho Oh NdpS Lopez tue portuguese steamer
| by that time being in close range, but the
Gloucester was far behind. Those on board
the other steamer, however, describe the scene
as truly heart-rending AS the brig struck,
and was overwhelmed by the breakers, the
miserable creatures on board, probably to the
number of five hundred, set up howl of de.
spair that could be heard even above the roar
ing of the hungry sea- But it was too dark
by that time to see much, and beyond human
skill or power tolaid the drowning wretches, so
that they soon must have met their doom, for
on the hext morning, the beach inside of the
rocks were strewn with corpses aud the frag-
mentS of the wreck. Nothing was found,
however, to reveal the name of the SLAYER, or
any other information concerning him, save
that to the practiced eye of the seaman she
proved of Baltimore build. The monsters
who manned the vessel are supposed to have
escaped in their boat before she struck, and
must have gained the shore, as a boat some.

WHAT NEXT ?-Wil Douglas withdraw,
quietly, and allow the adjourned democratic
convention at Baltimore to put up another
nominee or will his friends, as at Charleston,
persist in urging him upon the party We
think the last named policy will be theirs.
The fact that he has already received major.
ity of the votes of that body will weigh
strongly in its favor. But can he receive at
Baltimore the two thirds vote which he could
not get at Charleston :! We have no expecta-
ton that he can, and we look, therefore, for
his defeat again there. Beyond that, we care
not now to speculate. On all sides, however,
We hear the question, what effect will all this
have upon the doings of the Chicago conven-
ton? We say, it will strengthen itevery way.
Its declaration of principles cannot fail to be
holder and clearer, and it must lessen the hest.
tation which has existed in some quarters, as
to who shall be the honored standard bearer of
the republican hosts. He must be selected
from the front rank of its statesman, and be q
man so long and SO heartily identified with the
cause of human freedom that neither friend OF
foe will know doubt as to his position. AS
We read the signs of the times, Charleston un
Willingly has helped to secure such result
If we fail, our failure must come from th'
biunders and faithlessness of friends, and no
from the wisdom or honesty of avowed enc
mics. But defeat does not await us, and GU
next duty is to second with hand and heal
the man and the platform which these even
have surely helped to give us. XIX

The quiyer of death has no arrow so fatal as Con-

giant foe of human lite. Medical men have been so
long in the habit of regarding this disease ncurable

common sense, has, like every other discovery in
medical science met with Jealous opposition. Mar
rowminded men have thrown obstacles in the way
and superciliousy condemned its use, because they
supposed 1t was something news The subject of
Inhalation, by the great masses of the people, seems

dy, prescription, formula. 1t is in itself com
plete system of practice, composed of many differ
ent remedies. And the source from which they are
selected is field no less ample than the entire range
of the materia medca. To make a prescription
then, avail ourselves of such remedies as are cal
cuated to answer the peculiar indications in each
individual case. For example, we find on admins
tering an emetic, purgatiye opate, by the stom-
ach, that each produces different result though
all are taken IN the same manner, and pass into the
same organ; precisely so with Inhalation. We pre-
scribe one class of nhalants to soothe irritation and
quiet the cough another to facilitate eXpectoration
third to rouse and stimulate the enfeebled condi
ton OF the parts fourth to promote absorption
and the removal Of tubercular deposits, fifth to
nstringe or shrink up the parts, is required in
liberation, and sixth to obvate the condition of
spasm, as is indicated in spasmodic Asthma.
From this we learn that it is not alone sufficient TO
inhae, but 1t is all important that we should inhale
the proper remedies suited to each condition and
peculiarly Of case
by inhalation we convey our remedies directly to
the seat of the disease, and thus avoid the unneces

the action OF Irritating drugs upon the delicate coats

A "CHATTEL"' IN CRocKEKY CRATE

that among the freight of certain steamer
which arrived at this port night before last
was a crate, which the captain innocenty sup.
posed to be filled with queensware, but which
in reality contained live negro. The ship.
ment was made at a town on the Cumberland
river, and none of the officers ever suspected
the contents to be other than were represented
in the bill of lading, till yesterday, when one
of the firemen of the boat made revelation
of the fact to the astonshed captain. 1t was
then too late to remedy the matter for the
crate had been delivered to the consignee, and
the adventurous negro, who had pursued free
dom under difficulties, was safely under the
roof of one who believed in that portion Of the
Mosaic dispensation which says, "Thou shalt
not return unto the master the servant which
