A FTER protracted blindness of more than
n five years, DR.. PARDEE has made himself
thoroughly and scientifically acquainted with all
diseases of the Eye. and has now been in prac-
tice eight years in San Francisco with success
that cannot be surpassed in any part of the
United States and for proof of this he will sub
stantiate by cases that have been cured by him,
after having exhausted the skill of all the emf
nent Occulists in the cities of Boston, Philadel-
phia and New York. DR.. P. wholly objects to
the use of caustc, blue stone-keeping the pa
tient in a dark room, dieting blistering cup
ping-the blue pill at night and salts in the
morning, ETC., etc. DR.. PARDEE has also
been remarkably successful in the treatment of
Rheumatism, Neuralgia, and all pains about the
head and the frequent calls that he has for his
Rheumatic mixture from all parts of the coast,
with the many testimonials, is positive proof of
its efficacy; and to prevent answering many in
quries by letter. he will state that it can be sent
to any part of the State or coast, and each bot
tie will be accompanied by full directions and a
receipt for liniment magical in its effects over
pain, ingredients of which can be procured any
where-price, $40. The ARTIFICIAL EYES
inserted by DR.. P. have all the natural move
ments of the real eye, and cannot be detected
even by close inspection. Address

A PARAGRAPH MATRIMoNIAL.-Choos a wife
is perilous piece ofbusiness. Do you suppose
there is nothing of it but evening visits, bo-
quets, and popping the question:? My dear
simple young man, you ought not to be trusted
out by yourself alone Take care that you
don't get the gilt China article, that looks ex-
eeedingly pretty on the mantel-pi until the
gilt and ornament are all rubbed off, and then
is ht only for the dust-pilel wife should be
selected on the same principle as a calico gown
Bright colors and gay patterns are not always
the best economy. Get something that will
wash and wear. Nothing like the suns and
showers of matrimony to bleach out these de-
ceptive externals Don't choose the treasure
by gas-light or in parlor sitting. Broad day
light is the best time-a kitchen the most sem
sible place. Bear in mind, sir, that the article
once bargained for, you can't exchange it if it
don't suit. If you buy watch and it don't run
as you expected, you can send it to a ieweler to
be repaired; in the case of wife, once paired,
you can't repair. She may run in the wrong
direction-very well, sir; all that is left for YOU
Is to run after her, and an interesting chase YOU
will probably find it If you get good wife,
you will be the happiest fellow alive if you get
" bad one, you may as well sell yourself for a
quarter at once! Just as well to consider all
these things before hand, young man.

A Portrait of the Gar.

There exists a man in Europe, man who
weighs Europe down. He is at once Spiritual
Prince and Corporal Lord; despot and auto
crat. He is obeyed in the barracks and wor-
shipped in the monastery. He gives the pass
word to the former, and draws up the dogma for
the latter. He sets in motion, to crush the lib
critics of the continent, an empire of sixty mil
lions men power. He holds these sixty millions
of men in his hands, not like men, but like
brutes; not like minds, but like utensils, tools
In his double quality of ecclesiastic and soldier
he puts uniform on their souls as he uniforms
their bodies, and says to the one, believe, as he
says to the other, march This unprincipled
being, who is called man, is the supreme ex-
preston of human might He tortures whole
nations as he pleases. With sign he empties
Poland into Siberia. He weaves, interlaces and
knots the threads of the great conspiracy OF
princes against men. He las been to Rome.
and there he, the Greek Pope, exchanged the
kiss of alliance with the Latin Pope He reigns
at Berlin, at Munich, at Dresden, at Stattgardt,
at Vienna, as he reigns at st. Petersburgh.-
This man resembles in some sort the ancient
king of kings; he is Agamemnon of the Trojan
war, that the men of the past are waging against
the men of the future. He is the savage men
ace of the shadow against light, of the pole
against high moon. He is the soul of the En-
peror of Austria, and the will of the KING of
Prussia. Germany is mere fatboat in his
tow. | express in one word this wonster of
nipotence--Emperor like Charles Ouint.
Pope like Gregory VII, he holds in his nan1 a
cross which ends in cimetar, and a scentre
which ends in a knout

The " DIGNITY OF BEIN' NIGGERs."-A slaves
speech on the relative standing of the races,
and the superiority of slavery to freedom, is re-
ported by the Petersburgh (Va.) Express, Of a
late date, in this wise:
In Front of the Central Warehouse, phil
osophical darkey, leaning lazily against one Of
the wheels of dray, thus delivered himself to
brother Jehu, who was disposing of himself
similarly: " All niggers ought to feel de dignity
OF bein' niggers, 'cept free niggers what dunno
dignity am Dis minute | am wuff about fifteen
hundred dollars" and he gave a demonstrative
gesture with his left forefnger, " and heap O.
white folks can't say dat for deyselves. Now

" is white man he couldn't turn hisself into
money to save his life. Moren dat, he amt

FIRST TEA ON NANTUcKEr-The Nantucket
Enquirer relates this laughable historical Incl
dent:
Edward Starbuck, the Miles Standish of our
island, who came from Salisbury with Macy and
others, had grandson, Nathaniel Starbuck, Jr.
who was engaged in making voyages to China
Prior to 1850, he returned to Boston, and from
taenee to Nantucket, bringing with him the first
box Os4ea that was ever landed upon the island
The town was then west of the present Site
The owner of the ship to which Starbuck was
attached came here from Boston to make him a
visit. Mrs. Starbuck was desired by her hus-
band to make cup of tea. She said she knew
no way to cook. it. "Neither do l." said he,
but make it the best way you can." She took
abell-metal kettle, and boiled up about a gall
Ion. She arranged the table like good wife,
with silver porringer for each guest, sugar,
cream, etc. On came the tea in a silver tank
ard. When they were all seated at the table,
Mrs. Starbuck said to her distinguished visitor,
81 have made dish of tea for thee, but fear
: have not done it as it should be, and | would
like to have thy opinion" "Well," said he,
as you desire my opinion, must say spoonful
OF this beverage would kill either of us at the
table," He then Instructed her how TO draw it,
having been accustomed to its use. When done
they returned to the table, and had one of those
Jovial sittings usually enjoyed by our conyivial
ancestors.

Pioneers IDEA OF WoMEY-Gen. Sam.
Dale, the South Western Indian fighter, saws, in
his memoir just published, that he paid visit
to Washington when Jackson was President and
adds:
" The ladies of Washington struck me, who
had so long been accustomed to the sun burned
maidens of the woods, as very fair and beauti-
ful, very fascinating and refined. In one thing
they differ from our Indian women they look
one full in the face and it is difficult to with
stand their gances. An Indian maid, when q
warrior approaches, bends her head like droop-
ing leaf. 1t is only in the deepest recesses,
where no others are near, that the lover sees the
whole lustre of her eyes, or even the bushes on
her cheek. They love intensely, and make the
most faithful wives and tenderest OF mothers"

PLAYING CARDS FOR HUsBAND--Most of our
readers have +" hearn tell' of the young man out
West who won his wife at a game of " seven
up" With the old man.. 1t has always been be-
iieyed that he played it " low down. on the old
one, as he had way of cutting the keerds
kinder curious" Howsomever, the gal was
" "willin" and he took the stake. Not SO fortu-
nate was the gal who played for a husband The
story is given in a late Western paper
"a constable in Williamsport Indiana, while
paying visit to young lady living few miles
away, proposed game of euchre as the even
ing's entertainment, which was accepted by the
young lady. When the cards were dealt, the
young lady proposed a 4" flyer" of $50, to which
the constable demurred The young lady pro-
tested that she would never play with gentle
man unless there was some stake up, but the
gent still demurred, when, as compromise the
lady proposed that they would play and if she
beat him he should marry her, which the GAL
liant couldn't do otherwise than accept. At it
they went and the lady proved the winner. The
constable was invited to stop all night, and in
the morning they would proceed to the Squire s
and be made one flesh. He plead pressing busi-
ness and went away. She followed him to his
fathers and stayed there three days without
seeing the young man, when compromise was
effected by paying the disconsolate lady $3.50
to fill the breach"

times, or at least till what we say has some eff
feet upon our countrymen, that pound of lean.
tender, juicy mutton can be produced for half
the cost of the same quantity of fat pork that
it is infinitely healthier food, especially in the
summer season, and those who eat it become
more muscular, and can do more work with
greater ease to themselves than those who eat
fat pork. We know nothing more delicious than
smoked mutton hams, of the Southdown breeds
of sheep. Venison itself is not superior.-4Der-

Six PICS AND A PRoNIsE-In case of a
breach of promise, tried short time since at
Detroit, the plaintiffs case was thus stated -
" She said she had devoted herself to him a
long time, under promise of marriage, and all
she ever got from him was six little pigs, which,
in momentary burst of generosity, he pre-
sented her with. She nursed and fed the d-
mnutive porkers until they attained goodly
size and gave promise of great porcine dimen-
sions, when, in characteristic fit of meanness,
he dove the pigs away and deserted her forever.
