ADULrERATED DRUGs.-At recent convention of
Apothecaries, in the city of New York. one of the
committees reported that frauds in medicines are
carried on in this country to extent of which the
public can form no conception and that the amount
of mischief caused thereby is enormous and appall
ing. 1t is said that substances, sometimes innocu-
ous at others almost deadly in their nature, are
mixed with various medicines, to improve their ap-
pcarance increase their quantity, or in some way
render them more saleable or more profitable Sand,
sometimes to the extent of seventy or eighty per
cent, gypsum, is added'to the solids, while
water is mixed with the fluids till they become al
together inert, even change their very nature
The consumers of drugs, being unacqualnted with
the properties of the articles dealt out to them
easily deceived. The matters should be earnestly
taken in hand by City, State and National Medical
Societies. Among other remedies for these fraudu-
lent authorizations, 1t has been recommended that
Drug Inspector be appointed to visit apothecaries
shops, analyze samples of the drugs Sold and furn
nish the results of the analysis, together with the
elements of the genuine article, and publish the
names and residences Of adulterators No objection
could be made to such a proceeding by the many
scientific, educated and honorable apothecaries of
the country, whilst it is due to the public that those
who are not so should be exposed and punished.

The IDEA OF THE SPINNING-J ENNY.--Suddenly he
(James Hargreaves) dropped upon his knees, and
rolled the stone floor at full length. He lay with
his face towards the floor and made lines and cir
cles with the end of burnt stick. He rose and
went to the fire to burn his stick. He took hold of
his bristy hair with hand, and rubbed his fore
mead and nose with the other and the blackened
stick. Then he sat upon chair, and placed his
head between his hands, his elbows on his knees,
and gazed ntently the hoor then he sprang to his
feet and replied TO feeble question of his wife
(wbo had not risen since the day she gave birth to
little stranger) by loud assurance that he had it
and taking her in his sturdy arms, in the blanket,
the baby in her arms, he lifted her out and held her
over the black drawings on the floor. These he ex-
planned, and she Joined small, hopeful happy laugh
with his heightened assurance, that she should new
er again toll at the spinning wheel-that he would
never again "play," and have his loom standing for
want of weft. She asked some questions, which he
answered, after seating her in the arm chair, by lay
ing her spinning wheel on its back, the horizontal
spindle standing vertically while he made the wheel
revolve, and drew rowing of cotton from the spin
die into an attenuated thread "Our fortune is
made when that is made" he said, speaking of his
drawings on the floor. "What will you call il? ?"
asked his wife, "Call it2 What an we call it after

MINNIE, THE RlFLE-MAKER.-A writer thus de-
scribes visit to the great ritlemaker at his work
shop in Paris: Our attention was next directed to
the chef's collection Of cartridges buet-moulds and
bullets They were arranged in series of drawers;
and looked grimly mcnacing assortment of instru
ments He told us that he had made balls in every
conceivable shape, and that he had manufactured
the moulds with his own hands. One of the spec-
mems was remarkably ingenious. Minnie declared
that it calculated to give the least possible re-
sistancc to the air. And thus the chef illustrated
his assertion: He took up an iron tube, and stand
ing at one end of the shop, blew his bullet with
such force that it stuck firmly into the opposite
wall. Again and again he blew it from fixed point,
and again and again it reached almost the hole it
made at the first shot. The bullet was on the prn-
ciple of the Archmedan screw. Then we had an
anecdote in reference to this screw-bullet Minnie
took this ingenious bullet and tube to the Tuile
ries, and submitted his new projectile to the En-
peror. A few days afterward the chef paid Sec
ord visit to his sovereign, and found that his majesty
adrddled the richly ornamented walls of his cabinet
with the new projectile. We passed from the SUBJ
ject to another. Holding up one of the compact
cartridges he had recently made, Minnie proceeded
to prove how soldiers might be sent into the field
with an inexhaustible supply of ammunition. At
every turn in his crowded little workshop, he had
some experiment to show, some halfdeveoped
idea at which he was working. At breakfast, over
his slice of melon at the butts Of Vincennes the
chef is the same man. His idea is before him. The
perfection of arms is the devouring passion of his
life. Always attempting something new-always
practicing his arms, he may any day, produce a
great result In France he is known as the great
authority on firearms and it was to him. there
FORE that the Emperor appealed for advice when the
new Imperial Guard was to be armed. The question
was not slowly filtered through committees and
councils. NJ Minnie was summoned. He stated
his views frankly; and gave reasons for them. The
Emperor listened and decided. NJ. Minnie armed
the Imperial Guard of France.

GEORGE WASHINGTON TO RoBr NORRIS.
MOUNT VERNON, 18th April 1856.
DEAR SIR:-I give you the trouble of this letter
at the instance of Mr. Daily, Of Alexandra, who is
called to Philadelphia to attend what he conceives
to be veXatious lawsuit respecting slave of his,
whom society of Quakers in this city, formed for
such purposes have attempted to iberate. The
merits of this case WILL no doubt appear upon trial.
From Mr. Dalby's statement of the matter it should
that this society is not only acting repugnGnf
IN to Justice so far as its conduct strangers
but in my opinion impoliticy with respect to the
State the city in particular without being able ex.
cept by acts of tyranny and oppression. to accom-
plish its own ends He says the conduct of this So
ciety is not sanctioned by lao Had the case been
othe1ose, achaterer my opinion Of the lao m,ght
hare been, my respect for the policy of the State
would this occasion have appeared in my silence;
because against the penalties of promulgated laws
one may guard but there is no avoiding the snares
of individuals or private society," of which Mr. Dali
BY speaks Ifthese are not discountenanced none OF
those whose it is to have slaves as aten-
dants will visit the city ifthey possibly avoid it;
because by doing they hazard their property, or
they must be at the expense land this will not al
ways succeed providing servants of another de-
scripton. .
hope it will not be conceived from these obser-
vations that is my wish to hold the unhappy peo-
pie, who are the subject of this letter. in slavery.
I can only say, that there is not man living, who
wishes more sincerely than do to plan adopt
ed for the abolition its but there is only one pro-
per and effectual mode by which it can be accom-
plished and that is by legislative authority; and
this as far as my suffrage will go, shall never be
wanting. But 'ohen slares, 'eho are happy and con
tented ,cith their present masters tampered Nth
and seduced to ieare them uhen masters are taken
unaw"res By these praetices;; ~hen a conduct Of
this kind 6egets discomfort one side md resent
ment on the other and when it happens to fall on
man whose purse will not measure with that of the
society, and he loses his property for want of means
to defend it, it is oppression in such case and not
humanity in any, because it introduces more erils
than IL can cure
l will make no apology for writing to you on this
subject for, if Mr.. Dalby has not msconceived the
matter, an erH crisis whicA requires a remedy. If
he has, my intentions have been good, though may
have been too precipitate in this address. Mrs.
Washington joins me in every good and kind wish for
Mrs. Morris and your family, and am &c,

Coming as it does, from the Chairman Of the

of the day, it is worthy of attention.
Its language is plain and easy to be understood,
if perhaps, except the reference to "legisatire

ty of the individual State, while the latter is the
collective authority of all the States, carefully and
