A French lady became i'll. The most
eminent physicians of her time were called
in; but failed to restore her. At length
Dupsytren, the Napoleon of physic, was
consulted. He noticed that she lived in a
dim room, into which the sun never shone:
the house being situated in one of the mar
row lanes Of Paris. He at once ordered
more airy and cheerful apartments, and all
her complaints vanished.

medical names in France, of the last CEN
tury. regarded sunshine and pure air as
equal agents in restoring and maintang

From these facts, which cannot be dis
puted, the most common mind should con-
clude that cellars and rooms on the north

which the sun does not Immediately shine,
should never be occupied as family rooms

reason of the breachiness of the COW, and
he drove the COW back and rendered her to

her to prevent her from jun ping the fence,
and by reason of the yoke or poke she
broke her neck and died j; and if the Jury
further believe that the defendants inter-

the plaintiff s note was worthless and the

Champs Elysees and told the hackman to
take them to the Bois de Boulognc. It
was no agreeable task to drive about the
Bois de Boulogne in such weather, with the
icy wind from Menden, Clamart, SeYres and
St. Cloud hills sweeping down in the most
dreadful manner. For FIVE minutes the dri-

Bois de Boulogne - then he diverged at
right angles from tLis public drive the

Individual Influence.

To influence, signifies to move by NOR

Some persons say they bare no influence :
but how, we would ask, can moral be-

ezerting moral power? How can man
act aCsh his fellow men. without acting up

editor who penned it has not been, and probably
will not be arrested, for disloyal conduct:
What means this talk about restoring the Union
as it wasI There can be no '' Union as il was"
until the confscation act is-erased from the stat
utes; that's certain. The 'Unon rs it was" will
never bless the vision of any pro slavery fanatic
or secession sympathizer, and it never ought to.
1t is thing of the pass, hated of every patriot.
and destined never to curse an honest people, or
blot the pages of history again. The act confs.

traitors will not be repealedi'
CAssIUs NJ. CLAY, recently Minister to Russia,
and now Major General, uttered the following
language at a recent meeting in Washington,
Yet Mr.. CLAY is not arrested for discouraging en-
listments or uttering dsloyal sentiments:
As for myself never. so help me God will
never draw a sword to keep the chains upon
another fellow being. Suppose, gentlemen, that
you succeed upon the present policy; what have
you gained? Better recognize the Southern Con-
federacy at once. and stop this effusioa of blood,
than to continue in the ruinous policy, or have
even restoration Of the Union as it was.

Putt,ur Down the Rebellion.

While we believe that the legitimate power of
the Government ought to be sustained in putting
down the rebellion, and the Administration sup
plied with all the means necessary for that pur-
pose, at the same time we submit the following
questions for the consideration of our readers:
What are the legitimate and appropriate means
to put down this rebellion, and what are notf
Wasit necessary to put down this rebellion to
abolish slavery in the District of ColumbiaI
Is it necessary to put down this rebellion to tax
the people of the whole Union to pay for the
slaves that States may see proper to emanci-
pate?
Is it necessary to put down this rebellion to get
up negro schools and support them at the Govern
ment expenseG
Is it necessary to put down the rebellion to bur
den the t. .easury with millions TO support runaway
slaves?
Is general confscatiOn consistent with hu-
manity, lift were constitutiOnalf
Is it necessary that the whole North shall be
afflicted with the of free negroism to put
down the rebellion?
Is it is necessary to overthrow the old Union,
wipe out the Constitution and make a one, to
put down the rebellionT
