The Restaurants or Eating Houses Of
Washington.

Washington.
1t is to be rgretted that some enterprsing
and shrewd btlness person does not start an
eating-house a restaurant in this city. No
finer field for tie employment of capital under
such direction Is to be found.
AT present there are number of such estab-
lishments, bui none of them conducted on
the right principles. Some of them partake
largely Of the iharacter of public nusances, If
not of public ssindles. The proprietors of all
of them chare so enormously as to make 1t
the interest Of vegular boarders, or residents of
the city not housekeeping, to go to the hotels
or to boardinghouses, who would otherwise
patronize restaurants; while some of them, or
indeed the majrity of those of the first class,
pay no attention to their bills of fare, extrava-
giant as they ard but never by accident charge
less than the published rates. The attendance,
as well as the charges, are left In great meas
ure to the ser,pnts, who are neither very cor
rect in their de'ortment nor respectful in their
language to tht guests of these places. Now,
an eating-house conducted on the plan of the
Taylors' establishment, of New York, would
not only be Messing to the national metropo-
lis, but must be paying concern. viii

Caution to the Public.

Every intelligent and thinking person must know
that remedies handed out for general use should
have their efficacy establishe by well tested expe
rience in the hands of regularly educated phys-
clan, whose preparatory study fits him for all the
duties he must fulfill yet the country is flooded with
poor n0strUms and eure-als, purpOrtng to be the
best in the world, which are not only useless, but
always Injurious The unfortunate should be PAR.
TICuLAR in selecting his physician, as it is lament
able vet incontrovertibe fact that many syphilitic
patients are made miserable with ruined constitutions
by NAL treatment from inexperienced physicians in
general practice for 1t is point generally conceded
by the best syphilographers that the study and man
agement ofthese complaints should engross the whole
time Of those who would be competent and successful
In their treatment and cure. The inexperienced gem
eral practitioner having neither opportunity nor
time to make himself sufficiently acquainted with
their pathology comonly pursues one system OF treat
ment in most making an indiscriminate use Of
that antiquated and dangerous weapon, mercury.
More caution, however should be used by the syph-
ilitic patient. in consulting nominal physicians Of
the advertising class nine. .tenths Of them are i'm
posters, who assume German, French, other
names and are without any claims TO medical knOwl-
edge. These knavish rascals nfest all large cities,
and by Of their lying advertisements and pos
ters, they induce the unwary to enter their Peter
Funk constitutions " and numerically fleece them
and poison them with mercury. Persons living at a
distance in the country are more apt to be duped by
the lying notices of quacks than citizens.
In view of the above facts, DR.. j. G.. YOUNG
would say that he is the only regularly educated
physician in California advertising who de-
votes his whole time to the treatment Of venereal
diseases Office 751 Clay street. opposite the Plaza
Hours from A. NJ. to SPIN.
The Nevada Democrat., 1862-02-27
HAVE CONFIDENCE.

DR.. YOUNG will guarantee a perfect and perma-
nent cure in the following or he charges moth
of the Urethra, Affection of the Prostate Gland,
Weakness of the Genital Organs, Impoency, Sterili
ty, both in the male and female, Spermatoria, or
Seminal Weakness, Noctural Emissions, Rheuma.
tism Dyspepsia, Indigestion Fever and Ague, lncip-
lent Consumption and all Irregularities in Females
together with all diseases of Women and Children
Also Nervousness Papiaton Of the Heart, etc.
Persons afflicted with symptoms after being treat
ed should consult DR.. Young at once, no disease
is cured unless the patient feels perfectly well. If
there particle of disease left i'm the system ii will
break out some future time when least expected,
be handed down to an innocent offspring. Persons
who have been treated with mercury should be very
cautious in believing that they well, for it is a
scientific fact That he mercury will mngle with the
venereal, and form disease great deal worse than
the original. All those who have reason to think
by bad feelings that they have been treated thus
should consult DR.. Young, and he will examine their
cases and tell them at once how they stand.

PRoGRAMME EXTRAORDINARY OF JIM LANE
-WashingtOn correspondence of the N. Y.
Post seriously relates the following:
Gen. Lane has bad very cordial recep
tion from the new Secretary OF War, as we'll
as from the President aud Gen. Mcclellan.
IL Is expected that he will soon leave for
Kansas TO command his brigade. He has,
ia several interviews with the President,
discussed his plans.
Gen. Mcclellan asked him at an interview
the other day: Suppose you 6nd no Union
sentiment whatever where you gO?"
"Tben," replied Lane, Il will take good
care to leave no rebel sentiment behind me.
II Missouri. Arkansas, and the Iadian coun-
try will not come peaceably under the laws
of the Government, my plan s to make of
them wilderness. would give the trail
tors twenty.four hours to choose between
exile aud death. Sir, if can't do better,
will kill off the white traitors and give their
lands TO the loyal black men"
The friends of Lane assert that upon
hearing this reply, Mcclellan laughed
heartily and said, "You must work out your
own plans. Go your way, and see that no
rebel sets bis foot 10 Kansrs."

The ORIGIN OF "SCoNTRABANDs." Gen.
Butler has had the credit of inventing the
term contrabands. as applied to slaves, and
II has been regarded as an inspiration of
genius. Slaves are now hardly known by
any other name; the author Of the term,
however, was not Gen. Batter, but George
Opdyke the present Mayor of New York.
In his excellent volume on political econo-
my, published by Putnam in 1851, there is
chapter on slavery, 10 which occurs the
following passage: "Siaves are not even
furnished, as they formerly were, by Afri-
can traders, at the cheap rates of stolen
goods, the article being now contraband
with u.s." &c. Probably Gen. Butler had
read this work and remembered the term
which he has so happily applied. Mr.. OPP
dyke meant they we're cOntrabaud of COM
merce. while the General called them con-
traband of war.

81 800, 900, while it's assets amount to only

In one of the towns in the southern part

teers were about leaving for the seal of war,

bells on their duty as soldiers, &c, told them

they must never look back" Remember y

FRAUD or TREACMERY?-The Chicago Tri-
bune publishes the following paragraph ed.
itorially:
We have before us three cartridges brought
TO as from Annapolis by friend. They
are portion Of the ammunition for Enfield
rifles served out to Burnside's forces for the
great expedition. To the eye they are
alike in appearance, and the slight differ.
ence Ia weight could not Instantly be de-
tected. But the difference is that one of
the three contains not particle of powder.
A prominent officer of the expedition told
our informant that this was about the pro-
portion throughout the entire lot of Enfield
cartridges-onethird of them carefully put
up without powder. Now here is case for
investigation. Was it fraud or treachery
that seeks to palm off upon our brave
troops, on the eve Of an expedition, sham
cartridges? Let as have an explanation,
