Patients in advanced stages of the
disease.
So wide is the field Of its usefulness and so nu-
merous are the cases of its cures, that almost
every section of country abounds in persons pub
licly known, who have been restored from alarming
and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its
use. When once tried, its superiority over every
other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues are known, the
public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections of the
pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate.
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community have failed and been discarded, this
has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits
on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro-
duced cures too numerous and too remarkable to
be forgotten.

GAMBLNe IN EURoPE.-A Paris correspon-
dent gives the following iD relative to Spanish
gambler named Garcia, who has lately won
$3.50, 900 from the shank" at HombOurg,
The vicissitudes of this mans fortune were
great: in one day he lost $40, 900; in one iaille
he won s0O,000f, be played in five coups Co.
O00f and won them all The was aided by con-
federates acting under his orders in these
cOuPs, the rules allowing no man to play above
l2,000f ! and when be risked these enormous
stakes, SO great was the amount of money to be
given and received, the "bank' could play only
thirty six allies day instead of forty eight,
which is its usual average. Garcia woull take
his seat punctually at eleven O'Clock in the
morning, and sit there quietly and calmly until
eleven o'clock at night, his stakes verying,
during the five days his attack on the "bank"
lasted, from 10000 to 80. OO0f One day he
had lost all be had on his person except 4000f
the next revolution ofthe cards threw 250, ,000f
into his pockets. While Garcia's winnings are
admitted to be $3.50, 900. this loss does not fall
entirely upon the sbanks." One Englishman
lost 5000 and other players lost Sl26 400,
(all these based their play upon the improba-
bility of Garoia's long continued success) copse-
quenly the "Bank' lost only $l33.600, not a
ruinous loss when il is considered the "bark''
has 100000 capital aud annually pays divi-
dend of 100 or $50 per eentum, it being a joint
stock company; its dividends are distributed the
3lst March and September; on the evening Of
the 3lst of last March there was not a cent pro
fit in bank and Frankfort bankers would give
but one fOria for a coupon, but the next day
Garcia lost 5l6,000f, and the coupons rose to
seven forms, which is about three dollars.
Garcia is now in Paris. Before he quilted
HombOurg he distributed $4,000 among the
unlueky players.

Yesterday, at noon, says the Washington
Star Of the I'd inst, the Hon. Z. ]. Buuligny,
NJ. O. from Louisiana, was united in marriage
to Miss Mary Elizabeth Parker, the second
daughter Of our well known fellow citizen Mr..
George Parker. The ceremony took place at
the residence Of the brides father, and the Of
fciating clergyman was the Rev. Mr.. Butler,
the pastor of Trinity (EpiscopaD church. The
guests witnessing the ceremony, though not
very numerous, embraced a number of gen
tlemen in distinguished public positions here
and thsr families-the President, Secretaries
Cobb, Thompson and Tuucey among them
The bridesmaids were Miss Fanny Parker "a
sister Of the bride,) Miss Hamilton, Of New
York; Miss Catlln, of New York; Miss Alice
Maury and Miss Sarah FrankliLg, of this city,
aud Miss Hammond, a daughter of Senator
Hammond, Of South Carolina; and the grooms
men were DR.. Parker, Sheriff of New Orleans;
John Maury, Esq, of this CITY; the Hon.
Messrs. Ruffin, OF North Carolina, Edmonston.
Of Virginia, and Miles, OF South Carolina, of
the House of Representatives, and another
gentleman from Louisiana whose name we
have not learned. The bride lie said to have
been attired with most exquisite taste-in point
lace, over a white satin dress, with point
lace veil, and orange flowers in her hair, and
rich sparkling diamonds in the ornaments she
wore Shortly after the ceremony the recep-
tion took place, which was attended by large
c9ncourse of the fashionable friends of Mr.
Parker's family, and those of his new son IN
law, their equipages lining G and -Four and n
half streets Tor a long distance. A sumptuous
entertainment was prepared for the COMPANY,
and an exquisite string band diseoursed deli-
cious music from the conservatory attached to
the dwelling. At three P. III. the reception
closed, and subsequently the gay wedding
party dined together at Mr.. ParkeT's. We hear
that the happy par start to day on Northern
wedding tour. This was perhaps the most
brilliant wedding that has ever taken place in
the federal metropolis.

ONE OF THE HERoEs.-At a Fourth of July
celebration in Pennsylvania, where 2eEolu>

honest old German Of Revolutionary repute
was discovered at the last hour. An open car
riage was assigned to him in the progra nme,
and seat at the Presidents right at the table.
When pressed, after dinner, to give his remi
niscences Of Washington, his recollections were
found to be rather indefinite. But something
being said about Yorktown, he remarked, 'Yaas,

InterestinE Discovery Of one OF the "SeVen
Wonders of the WOrId.D


The buried relics of ancient nations are yield
ing themselves one by one to the zeal and in
dustry of modern discoverers. A correspon-
dent Of the Boston Transcript announces the
recent discovery of the Mausoleum, ons cf the
seven wonders of the ancient world; Everybody
has read the story Of Artemisia, that most
inconsolable of widows, who, when her hus-
band Cher own brothoT, by the way,) Mausous,
king of Halicarnassus, died, drank his ashes,
in her grief, and erected to his momO1y
monument, which for its grandeur and magni-
fcence, was called one of the seven wonders
of the world Guided by Pliny and other
writes, Mr. Newton pitched upon a miserable
hamlet in Asia Minor as the site of this ancient
wonder. Having obtained the consent Of the
Turkish Government, the next thing was to
purchase the rights Of the jealous occupants Of
the soil, matter of no small difficulty. One
old woman loaded her musket, and declared
by the Holy Sepulchre that she would neither
sell nor bulge. However, on being offered
enough money to pay the expenses of pill
grimage to Mecca, she came down. Removing
the huts, Mr. Newton commenced his excava>
tions, and soon had the satisfaction of handling
portions of the famed mausoleum, exquisite
frit zes in alto relief fragments of colossal lions,
and of beautiful statues, some Of which he was
enabled to reconstruct. He ascertained that
the great tomb was a quadiangular building of
about 421 fee circuit, 100 feet in height, sur
mounted by aPyramid, on the top Ofwhich stood
beautiful four horse chariot, in which was the
statue of Msusolus This agrees with the an
cient accounts of this magnificent tomb. 1t
was erected more than two thousand yesrs,agO
about the year 353 before Christ, and Mr.. New
ton is of opinisn that it was cast down by an
earthquake. That the fragments of this proud
monument of human affection should now be
dug up beneath the site of a miserable Turkish
village, is a striking commentary on the
changes and vicissitudes of the worlds his
tory.
