Scrofula, or Kings Evil.

Il a constitutional disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid becomes vitiated,
weak, and poor. Being in the circulation, IL
pervades the whole body, and may burst out
in disease ON any part Of Il. No organ is free
from its attacks nor il there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous faint is variously
caused by mercurial disease, low living dis
ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth
and filthy habits, the depressing vices, and,
above all, by the venereal infection. What
ever be its origin, it is hereditary in the con-
stitution, descending " from parents to children
unto the third and fourth generation j" indeed,
it seems to be the rod Of Him who says II
will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon
their children"
Its effects commence by deposition from the
blood Of corrupt or ulcerous matter, which, in
the lungs. liver, and internal organs, is termed
tubercles; in the glAnda, dwellings; and ON
the surface, erupuons or sores. This foul cor
ruption, which gcnders in the blood, depresses
the energies of life, 80 that screfulous eonstitu-
tons not only suffer from scrofulous CON-
plants, but they have far less power to with
stand the attacks of other diseases; conse-
quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofulous in their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint in the
system. Most Of the consumption which de-
Ciics Tie human ialiiiAy HAS its oIikn unectly
in this scrofuioas contamination; and many
destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain,
and, indeed. of all the organs arise from or
arc aggravated by the same cause.
One quarter Of I'LL our people are scrofulous !;
their persons are invaded by this lurking in
fiction, and their health Is undermined Ivy it.
To cleanse IL from the systesn We must Fcnevate
the blood by an Alternative medicine, anil in
vigorate II by healthy food and exercise.
Such medicine we supply in

In tne Senate the reading Of the message
create great fluttsring on the secession side
The allu-ion in it to TIE gallant Maj And.r.
son, was greeted with misses and applause
The attempt OF Senator Davis, Of Mississippi
to get the letter Of the South Carolina Com
missioners to the President placed on the SEN
ate record, was admirably prevented by Sena.
tor King, who denour ced their acts worse than
trea.on than that Of Arnold and Burr.
The ia lure Of senator Davis proposal to re-
cord them, is reg g,rdrd as an enforcement ol
the President by the Senate.
The appointment Of Special Committee by
House to investigate the statement OF the
whole subject is regarded n endorsement
Of the message in that branch The Chairman,
Mr.. Howard, is stsunch Republican. The
whole messsg~ received almost universal CON
mendation from the Union men, and censure
ard Reputation from the sec-ssonista. The
latter regard the declaration Of the Intention TO
defend and hold the federal property, as 0
declaration Of war aid coercion.

OF extraordinary talent. A Holland born
Duschmsn. he has perfect command Of the
Eoglish language, and hov to ues it with ef-
feet. His remarks on the rise and progress Of
the Catholic Church demonstrated conclusivsly
thst he is master Of history from the earliest
ages to the present day. Mr. Damen confined
himself exclusively to historical facts. such a.
are to be easily proven BY reference, and set
ting cut with the theory that the Catholic was
the first and only: true Church that Jesus
Christ was the foundation stone upon which it
rested; that He had said that the gates of He'll
should not prevail sg.inst il. and that He still
fostered aud protected itsas favorite child !;

The GAS QUESTION Now that the
gas question has been virtually decided by the
proper judicial tribunals, adversely to the city.
and the contract declared binding, by which
thi. corporation is required to consume, or at
least pay for, a certain amount of gas. required
ior lighting the public streets, it would seem
certainly desirable that ahis whole matter
should be placed al once a common sense
basis; and while the responsibility for pact
neglect or folly should be laid where it proper
~ belongs. the public at large should be pro-
tected from any further continuance of the RI
diculous farce of paying monthly bills for the
privilege of sustaining unht lamp posts.
No doubt there will te but one opinion on
the propriety of making the most Of bad
bargain. and if gas has to be paid for. we. who
have beea groping for two years or more in the
dark. would like to enjcy the fun Of at least
blowing the whistle We have GO dearly pur-
chased.
Let us have no more technicalities or legal
delays OF q question which ought to have been
clear at frst-sight. II would be stranfe q in
deed if corpe ration could by any legal quib-
tract. and the event is likely to prove not only
the truth Of the old proverb THAT it takes
two to make a bargain" but vice versa-it takes
tsro to break one.
But jes,iDg aside On whut promises to bur
dened tax payers, to be somewhat eerious
business, it has been generally understood
that this controversy has not been sought by
the Gss Company, but has been forced upon
them, and they have always expressed will
ingress to make = compromise of the real
points at issue, Insisting only that a certain
amount Of gas shall be consumed by the city,
according to contract, and paid for 1t rsason-
able valuation.
1t is further understood, that the Gas Com
psny have made the failure of the city to COM
ply with its contrac: for lighting the public
streets, . standing excuse for maintaining the
present exhorbitant charges now required Of
gas consumers
1t has been said. and probably with come
chow of authority. that a reduction would
have been made in the Price Of gas to general
consumers. at ieast TO the old figures. Ss so per
N. feet, il the city had lived up to its contract
Let this matter then be tested at once. Let
the city burn the gas. which 1t will be com.
PEELED to pay for. ard let the Gas Com % nv re-
duee the price Of their commodity to reasons
