Ayousg physician, boiling from Pitts
bures recently made ~ appearance At
the kauauha Oil Reeion, looking out
Tor ! proAtabIs locasson to practice his
profession. He there encountered q
certain wag of stesmb boat captain, who
was in search Of oil sites. Something
like the following colloquy ensued: z
Doctor-Stirrlng place here. Pretty
large population, and . good deal OF
sickness, hear! .44l
Captain-Well, yes; quite stir here.
Bot % 70 the sickoess, thiak you are
misiniormed. An old Virginian tells
the that there has not been . single
Heath here-not in the memory of the
Oldest inhabitant.
Doctor-Bless me, it must be very
strange country. No children's diseases
berei Nothing like Diptheria!
Captain-Can' see how it's possible.
I've not seen chick nor child since /
came to these bOrings. And, more
than that, there are no women here.
Hence, no babies-and consequently no
infantilc diseases.
Doctor-Gracious, me! was told
there was not physician here, which |
now believe, and that there was an open
ing for young doctor-which | don't
believe.
Captain-Are you > doctor!
Doctor Il am, sir.
Captain-Thcn let me whisper some
thing in your ear. A proposition was
made sometime since to start q grave
yard here, for the reason that a man
who had got badly hurt was expected to
die and they had no place to bury him.
The graveyard was laid out, but the
man recovered (as all others recoyered,)
by the us0 OF petroleum. The grave
yard company determined not to be
foiled in their enterprise, they resolved
to shoot the first doctor who came this
way, and by this means inaugurate their
cemetery
This terminated the colloquy. The
young doctor turned pale, and hasten
ing off to the nearest point of embarka-
ton, left the captain shaking his sides
with laughter.-W Wheeling Intellsgencer.

zion, gives vent to The following express.
ion OF popular dissatisfaction at the
"usurpatons" Of the Louisiana Conven-
ton. We quote from the advocate Of
the goth inst
What has occurred within the past
ten days to weaken the confidence Of
the people in their representatives
Why is it that we hear words of indig
nation from nearly every Up and see
alarm in nearly every facet We tell
the members Of the Convention tba,
these things are true, and we here warn
them against any further usurpation Of
the pferogatives the people have here
tofore exercised, through the General
| Assembly and the Executive Department
Of the State.
The inquiry 10: "What is coming
nextl" People are seriously beginning
to ask Why are we taxed to support two
Legislatures Why does not the Con
yen,ion abolish the General Assembly
or Dissolve itself, now that the Perma-
nent Constitution has been adopted!
Again we earnestly warn and entreat
them to stay further proceedings. There
is distant thunder in the air its mntter-
inys can be distinctly heard from oil
quarters. A few moments passed among
the members Of the Legislatnre-Seces-
sionists loudest in expressions of indig-
nation, too-yestcrday too unerringly
indicates the popular disfavor which the
Convention is arousing. In all honesty
and candor we advise the true friends Of
tie Confederate Government-and they
arc in the majority-to vote an adjourn
mcnt as speedily as possible. Every
hour of their existence as legislative
power only serves to increase the popu-
lar dissatisfaction.
