RsapWe call the attention of our readers
to the advertisement of Madame Hollard, in
another column. Madame HoIlard has es-
tablished an In6rmary in this city for the
cure of all evils that flesh is heir to, and
possessing an intimate knowledge as she
does of the science of astrology, and being
an excellent clairvOyant, there is no disease
but what will give way to her treatment
The cures performed by her are most aston
ishing and would battle our credulity if they
were not attested by undisputable evidence.

THE MADDERN SIsTERs.-The greatest nov
city of the season is the Female Saxhorn
Band, now playing in this city. Their en-
tertainment at Crescent City Hall last night
was we'll attended, and their performance
received with the greatest favor. The skill
displayed by the fair performers was truly
wonderful, and the ease and readiness with
which instruments SO harsh and noisy in
masculine hands were adapted to feminine
grace and softness elected general admira-
ton. The principal feature of the evening
was the song of the BouId Soger Boy by
Miss Emma Maddern, and her performance
ON the drum, which were received with un-
bounded applause, and encored again and
again with the greatest enthusiasm.
Those who were not in attendance have
missed a treat, the loss of which they can
only appreciate by being present at their
next performance.
The Maddern Sisters will give another
entertainment this evening, at the same
place, and we bespeak for them liberal at
tendance, such as their merit deserves. The
great novelty OF their entertainment con-
sists in the performance upon instruments
which are generally considered impractical
bic for any but men, and yet we are satisfied
that they excelled in the softness, sweetness
and purity of their intonation, any male
band we ever heard. Let those who are SO
prone to ask, What can woman do ? go see
them, and they will be convinced that man
can do nothing which she cannot add
grace to.

ty, both men and beasts, had to be carried
on the backs of the camels and mules
Some Of the hills traversed were so steep
that the camels were obliged to resort to
the feat of walking on their knees, to pre-
vent their load from falling. No water
was met with after leaving the river Pecos,
brackish stream, on the 29th of June,
until the 4th of July, after journey of
l37 miles through the barren and difficult
country above described.
Owing to the supply of water falling
short, the camels did not have drop Of
water during all this time-six days-the
mules were allowed none after July 1st,
and the men composing the expedition were
put on short allowance, and on the last
day there were but two drinks of water
for each man. All suffered terribly from
thirst. The strength of both men and
animals failed. Goods were abandoned
because the animals could not carry them,
some of the mules broke down entirely.
and were left in the rear, while several of
the men were sick and declared they must
give up before they reached the stream,
which saved the whole party from The hor
rible fate which stared them in the face.
Being warned of the consequences, howev-
er the latter persevered. The animals
would 90 to the water casks, draw out the
bungs with their teeth, and gnaw at the
bung holes. The mercury stood at 100
der. in the shade.
The last day but one the eamels bel
lowed continually, owing probably to the
suffering from thirst. Still they bore the
harlsbips aud fatigue of the terrible march
WELL On the day that water was discov-
cred the comels manifested knowledge of
the nearness of water ten miles before
they reached it, by increasing their speed
so that they had to be held back. The
water reached was the head of San Fran
cisco creek, at Camers Hump mountain.
The next day camels were sent back with
water for the abandoned mules. One of
the mules in camp died and the rest look
ed badly. Several of the men were sick.
1t then appears that the eamels have full
ly vindicated their reputation for endur-
ance and usefulness in their new homes
The mules held out remarkably well, but
water was dealt out to them for two days
after the calnels got their last drink at the
Pecos.

From the Mails.

The remains of Geo. Hauk and wife who
lived alone, about one mile and n half
from Marion, Ind, were found amid the
ruins of their house, on Sunday last, which
had been consumed the night before. In
dications showed that the old people were
the victims of a cold mercenary murder
They were known TO have a considerable
sum of money in their possession, and it
is thought to secure this the murderers
first killed the old people, and afterwards
fired the house that evidence of their guilt
might be destroyed.
The Tribune Washington correspondent
says the tenor of the dispatches from Com.
Porter concerning the insurrection of Ee-
groes at Panam, is that they are some
500 in number, well armed, and that they
seem bent upon plunder only. Both the
authorizes and American citizens there de-
sired the interposition of the British and
United States naval forces. These, to-
gether, number some 400. 1t is also
stated that great''terror exists at Aspinwall,
aud that indeed but little security is felt
in the absence of armed American Or Brit
ish vessels.
The Beirut correspondent of the Boston
Traveller writes, under date of September
9th:
thousands have been clothed, and more
than ten thousand daily receive their food
from the hands of American missionaries,
who constitute the distributing agency of
the committee. The hospital establish
ed from the funds of the committee has
accommodated as many as seventy-five of
the sick and dying, and has room for one
hundred. Rev. c. V. A. Van Dyck, of
the Syrian Mission, has nobly devoted his
time, his services as physician, and DR.. R,
G. Barclay, United States Vice. Consul, as
surgeon to this hospital; an the soup-kilch-
en- is still dispensing to nursing mothers
and infirm invalids the savory and nutri-
tious soups which infuse something like
health and vigor into these dropping,
starving people, whose infants have been
dying daily in large numbers for the want
of proper food. But great as the mortal
ity among them has been, it would have
been far greater but for the timely relief af-
forded them."
UNPAID LETTERS TO GO TO THE DEAD
LETTER OFF1cE.-The Postmasters Gener-
al has just issued the following important
order.
"Whereas, by the act of the 3rd Of
March, 1855, the postage upon all letters
except such as are entitled to pass free be-
tween places in the United States, is re-
quired to be paid; and whereas, the Depart
ment, through courtesy, has hitherto at
considerable labor and expense notified the
parties addressed in all instances in which
the writers faild to prepay, that their let
tiers would be forwarded on receiving the
postage due thereon; and whereas, instead
of diminishing, the number of such letters
continue to increase, thus showing the
omission to prepay is intentional; it is there
fore ordered that from and after the first
day CT November, 1860, all such unpaid
letters be sent to the dead letter Office, 10
be disposed Of in like manner as other dead
letters"

The Little QnakereSs who was
DesPerately in Love.

An amusing matrimonial story Is told
of the olden time in New England. 1t SO
fell out that two young people became
very much smitten with each other, as
young people do. The yonng woman's
father was wealthy Quaker-the young
man was respectable. The father could
stand 10 such union, and resolutely oppo-
sed, and the daughter dare not disobey
openly. She "met him by moonlight"
when she pretended never to see him
and she pined and wasted in spite of her.
sell. She was really in love-a state of
sighs and tears, which women .oftener
reach in imagination than reality. Still
the father remained inexorable.
Time passed on, and the rose Oh Mary's
damask cheek passed of. She let no con-
cealment, like worm in the bud, prey on
that damask cheek, however, but when the
father asked her why she pined, she always
told him. The old gentleman was wild
over, and he loved his daughter dearly.
Had it been widowed mother who had
Mary in charge, widows pride would
have given away before the opportunities
of daughter. Men are not, however,
stubborn in such matters, and when the
father saw that his daughters heart was
really set upon the match, he surprised her
one day by breathing out
"Mary, rather than NOPE to death, thee
had better marry as soon as thee chooses,
and whom thee pleases."
And then what did Mary! Wait ill
the birds of the air had told her swain oI
the change, or until her father had time &c
change his mind again? Nota bit of it
She elapped her neat plain bonnet on hel
head and walked directly to the house ol

her. She walked into the house without
knocking-for knocking was not then
