Or. COLEMAN's
Private Dispensary.

While humanity continues 70 be infrm
and man is prone to err, and the conse-
quences are visited upon the unfortunate,
he should early seek relief from the misery
thus entailed. And the man who dcvotes
his time and talent te the relief Of this
species Of human suffering is not less q
Philanthropist than he who seeks TO relieve
any other atiiiction to which man is subject;
for true philanthropy looks not to what
caused the trouble, but what will cure It.
Dr. coleman has devoted a large portion OF
his time 10 the cure OF the class Of die
eases mentioned IN his advertisement IN
to-day's paper. He has duly qualified
himself by study anu experience to perform
what he promises. He has been located IN
our midst for several years, and the te7si-

quoted in his card, are guarantee 10 Che

THE CHRISTMAS FEsTIvAI.--The religious
observaDces OF the Christmas festival took place
yesterday In all the churches throughout the city,
where divine worship was held in accordance
with the spirit OF that great event which her.
aided the opening Of the Christian era. To-day
the secular part OF the festival will be duly
remembered, and the Christmas turkeys, which
had respite Of one day, will be offered up In
hecatombs. The public institutions, banks
and insurance Offices, together with many other
places Of business, will be closed and general
fcstivity will reign.
One thousand eight hundred and sixty-four
years have now passed since the birth Of
Christ, and in that time various experiments
Of government have been tried all over the
world. Before His birth tho Roman republic
had failed. With His advent the patriarchai
system Of Judea was extinguished. Since then
experiments OF all kinds have been made, until
nearly century ago we attempted the grandest
experiment Of all In establishing govern
ment, which Is now on Its trial, and is to be
decided by the greatest war the world ever
saw. Before another anniversary Of the Chris.
tan era recurs the question may be settled Of
the right and the capacity Of the people to
govern themselves, and all the old stupid sys-
tens ol hegsdltary rule Will DO wiped out

ties Of the times. The mineral resources Of
our territory have been wonderfully developed
amid all the strife and turmoil OF internal war.
fare, as is shown by the large deposits Of bull
lion in the Mint and its branches, and the
amount Of con circulated. II appears that tho
gold deposits for the fiscal year 1868
amounted to s23,ss6,9s9, the silver TO
933,SlS-a total Of over twenty-five millions
of bullion. The coinage amounted to $21, 649,-
345 ia gold, S54s,2li in silver and s463s0O in
cenis-makng in all nearly forty-seven mil
lions Of coins Of every denomination.
The taste exhibited In designing some or
these coins has been miserable, the nickel cent
particularly. Previous TO 1885 the coinage,
both 10 gold and silver, was very creditable; but
since then new mind appears to have devoted
itsefto make our metal currency as dlsreputabie

TESTIMONIALS TO ouk MILITARY AND NAVAL

officers aud men of that vessel in the same
way that prize money is spportioned by
the navy regulations. The money which is
being raised for a testimonial to Admiral
Farragut will either be laid out in the pur-
chase OF an estate or be funded for him.
