 CONFESSIONS OF A CANCER DocToR.- Most of the vegetable plasters for cancer.
 owe their activity to mineral substances.
 One consists of arsenic and sulphur. with powdered crowfoot leaves mixed with white of egg; another of sulphate of zinc, and extract of bloodroot; another of chol. ride of zinc and bloodroot; another of ar. senic and exrtact of conium, another of potash alone, boiled down to the consisten. cy of plaster; another is made by evapora. ting the spurious infusion of bittersweet, strammonium, conium, belladonna, yellow dock, and poke, adding fresh butter to make an ointment, the poke and dock roots are also used separately. A celebrated cancer powder is composed of arsenic, charcoal, .and cinnebar. The acetate of copper mixed with vegetable extracts is also used. The choloride of zinc, however. is now the remedy most relied upon, and generally 1t is mixed with the extract of bloodroot Many obstinate tumors and ul. cers have been cured by the above remedies, all of which are called cancers but few of them are really such. The last named is mainly used to kill tumors, and make them fall out of their places, which has been practiced for a hundred years.

 Dedr Sr: In compliance with your request con taIned Tn note of recent date, will give you sub stantially my recollection of the conversation whir occurred several months since between yourself and MT. Jacoway in the presence of Mr. Killgore. Jno k. Eakin, esq.,, and myself.
 My recollection is that Mir. Jacoway and your. self were speaking of Hindman and others wbs would be the probable asprants for Congress in the northern district. Mir. Jacoway stated that Col. A. M. Wilson would probably be one. When YOU remarked that you had heard that lie had belonged to the know nothing party, but that you had no ac quantance with Col. Wilson and did not know it of your own knowledge Mr. Jacowav gave the declaration the lie. When you promptly demanded Ii he intended 1t as personal to yourself, and ii so, there was good time settle the matter as YOU would ever have. Mir. Jacoway with equal prompt ness disclaimed all personal alusions to you, for the reason that his declaration could in no way reach you-as you had not stated from your own knowledge that it was so-nor did you eve Mr. Ie5betts or any one else as your author for hat youfad heard. ou stated it as rumor and whether true or false, you neither knew or cared, as you did not live ill Mir. Wilson's district | The persons present on that occasion were James M. kilgore John k. Eakn esqrs., and myself.- l remember one else.

Dennis, alias Michael Brown, was
found according to the Boston Herald,
a few evenings since in the streets OF
that city. addressing an imaginary au-
dience concerning the great principles
now agitating the country. Mr.. Brown
after coquetting with a bottle of whis-
ky, is usually taken in that way, and
it was Judged by the police that Mr..
Brown would be benefited by COM
planning OF him as common drunk
ard and sending him to the place where
whisky is unknown, except on special
occasions.
May it please the court said Mr.
Brown. squaring his shoulders. as
though about to hold forth to one OF
his imaginary audiences. 'wcuid it
make any difference regarding my case
if the Court was informed of my poll
tics.
The Court looked at Mr.. Brown in
astonishment.
.Hurrah for the Little Giant
shouted Mr. Brown, with keen look
at the Court to notice the effect of the
announcement.
Two months in the House of In
dustryl' the Court said. mildly.
Mr.. Brown thought he was on the
wrong track. He changed instantly.
'Hurrah for Lincoln and Hamlinp
he shouted as loud as ever.
Two monthsv repeated the Court,
not moved the slightest by the cheer.
Sold againl' muttered Mr.. Brown.
Only one more chance and then he
shouted: 'IInrrah for Bell and Ev-
erctt. and ID if | try again if we
never have President
Take him away said the Court,
and stop his noise!'
This is a mean one-horse town,
muitered Mr.. Brown. One such a
yell as | gave would have set me free
in New York, and the honor Of drink
ing brandy with half dozen of the
Aldermen. This IS not the city for q
man of genius
Ii either OF the great political par
ties want Mr.. Brown. he can be found
without much trouble.

To Those who Write for the

such:
!. Write with black ink. on white
paper, with ruled lines.
,. Make the pages smaller than that

blank.
1. Give TO the written pages an
ample margin all around.

their succession.
q. Write in plain. bold hand.
with less respect 10 beauty.
I. Use no observations which are
not to appear in print.
:. Punctuate the manuscript as il
should be printed.
. For italics. underscore one line:
for small capitals. two; for capitals,
three.
10. Take special pains with every
letter in proper names.
IL. Review every word, to be- sure
that none is illeeible.
II. Put directions to the printer at
the head OF the first page.
IS. Never write private letter to
the etitor on the printers copy, but
always on Seperate sheet.
