UEsUCCEssFULLY PLAYED.-On Fri.
day last young man of business-like
manner and appearance, called at the
jewelry house of Messrs. jenkins d
Hatch, Carlisle Building, corner of
Fo nth and Walnut streets, represent
ing himself to be ieweler from Evans
vile, Indiana, and visiting this city to
purchase a stock of goods. After look
ing about the premises for short time
he departed, promising to return again.
On Saturday morning he called and Sc
lected a quantity of chains, watches,
breastpins, fnger-riugs, &C., the whole
amounting to about $500, and requested
Mr.. Jenkins to lay them aside and have
his bill ready for him when he returned,
to be made out in the name of J. Sill
berger & Co. Shortly after he returned
with two packages, one about the size
of cigar-box, neatly wrapped in paper
and sealed on each end with red wax.
The other package was small. The
frat he said contained articles valued at
$3.50, and the small one contained dia-
monds. These he requested Mr.. Jen-
kins to lock up in his safe.
He then selected two very fine gold
watch chains, and asked Mr.. ]. if he
would allow him to take them to his
uncle, to have his opinion concerning
the propriety of purchasing some of that
make. Mr. jenkins assented, but said
he would sent q clerk with him. The
clerk took the chains, and the two
departed After walking along Fourth
street, the young man gave the clerk the
slip, and the latter returned to the store
with the chains. Mr.. j., supposing all
was not ri yht, opened the packages. The
$3.50 one contained apples in a cigar
box, and the one said to contain dia-
monds, held a plug of tobacco. Officer
Rowland was informed of the affair, and
succesded in finding the young man on
the mail packet, where he had engaged
passage to Louisville.
He was arraigned before Judge
Warren yesterday morning, and gave
the name of Isadore Meyers. Not hav-
ing succeeded in his attempt to swindle,
be could be convicted of no crime, and
was subsequently discharged. - Gin.

A SAD MIsrAKE.-A respectable man
residing in Paris, says the Louisville
Journal, had received from a nephew a
present of half pound of snuff, and had
placed it on the shelf of cupboard by
the side of a similar quantity of coffee
just purchased. His wife, in preparing
their breakfast, took the wrong package,
and without perceiving her error, made
beverage, of which they each partook,
supposing it to be coffee, although they
at the same time observed that it had a
very bitter, disagresable taste. They
were both shortly after seized with
symptoms of poisoning, and then only
discovered the mistake. Medical sssis-
tance was obtained, but the husband
shortly expired, the wife, however, ulti-
mately recovered.

The New Orleans papers notice the
death of two old and distinguished
citizens of Louisiana, both natives of
Kentucky. One was Colonel William
Christie, veteran of 18l4-l5, who was
also, we think, in the Mexican war, aged
seventy-five years. He possessed re-
markable physical and mental vigor
almost to the day of his death, which was
very sudden and unexpected. His was
a fiery nature, brave as lion, honest
and just. E
The other was Joseph Biddle Wilkin.
son, an SON of General j. B Wilkinson,
revolutionary soldier, who reached the
age of eighty years. BE served in the
navy during the war of 1872, and was a
gentleman of much refinement and
culture, and greatly and universally
esteemed.

INDICTMENT AGAINST GEN. PALMER
The Grand Jury of Jefferson County,
Kentucky, on Monday returned bill of
indictment against Major Gen. J. NJ.
Palmer for enticing negroes to leave
the State. He was held to bail in the
sum of FIVE hundred dollars, for which
his own bond was taken, and the case
set for hearing on Wednesday next.
The issue involved in this proceeding is
highly interesting in its character, and
the trial, says the Journal, is anticipated
with unwonted eagerness.
1t will be an easy matter to convict
the General in Kentucky of that or any
other crime. In no other State could
such an indictment be found, not even
in South Carolina.

A MAsTADoE TUsK FoUND.-On Satur-
day evening last the workmen engaged
in digging sand from pit at the head
of Deway street, New Albany, struck
with their shoveIs and picks upon what
they supposed to be log. Upon clear
ing the sand off it, however, it was dis.
covered to be an immense tusk of the
purest ivory, seven feet three inches in
length, and at the thickest part eight and
one quarter inches in diameter It
weighed nearly one hundred pounds.
The tusk is supposed to be that oil a
mastadon. II is certainly great Curl
osity. Several yearg ago, tusk nearly
of the same dimensions of the above was
found near the same place, and now in
possession of DR.. John Sloan, of New
Albany. In taking j: out of the ground
the tusk was broken into several pieces,
the ivory having become very much
softened. A PIE oft about two feet
long may be seen at the drug store of
Mr.. HoHield. The balance of it was
carried off by different persons for pre-
servatioa as a curiosity. Loatis0ilte

ha1Imil,an and ,ne Pope.

From the Pope's Published letter of in
strue.ions to Maximilisn in reference TO
the government of Mexico it sppssrs that
he was eDjoined to maintsin, to the exelu-
sion of all others, the Catholic Church, to
make it the law of all the.educstionsl in
stitutions Of the country, and see that the
Church estates and claims of property
shall be fully protected But instead of
obeying these instructions, Msximillian, it
appears, has declared in favor of freedom
of religion in Mexico and hss confirmed
the sequestration to the State of the
Church property, commenced by Juarez.
He has, in short, followed the instructions
Of Napoleon and disregarded those of the
POph. This means, We suspect, that there
is something more to come. The Pope
will probably manifest his displeasure
touching this disobedience of both Napole-
on and MaximilliaD, and then We may
look for that long threatened political re-
construction of the Papal States il which
the Holy Father will be entirely relisYed
of the cares of his temporal sovereignty.

De- @. B. LIGHTHILL-Desr Sir:-Itake
much pleasure in informing you that my
daughter is much better of her deafness un-
der your treatment She had The Scarlet
Fever when five years old, which left her
hearing much impaired, and which seemed
also to be settling down into permanent,
and as We much feared, perfect and incur
able deafness. We were not little fear
full and unbelieving in any efforts at cure,
having previously applied to other physi-
clans without success. But We soon found
under your tres tment, evidences of decid-
ed improvement. The sanious discharge
soon changed to white one, indicating a
healthy, healing process. We are yet
mskisg use Of your prescription, and hope
you will not fail to visit these parts soon,
as several ofmy friends are anxious to see
the good Samaritan, that they may obtain q
little of the oil of consolation for themselves.
Respectfully yours, N. BoRERTs.

The draft Is ordered TO commence in
New York city on Wednesday next, March
18th. Il has been deferred precisely one
month, TO accommodate the city and give it
an opportunity to I'll its quota by recruit

has very properly been ordered. We are
GLAD that the enrolment act is to be faith-
fully enforced against the city of New
York. Hitherto, owing to its great and
organized power, it has been able to escape
the draft either by volunteering or by the
exhibition of paper credits. 1t has probs-

pect that the order for drait viii create
considerable commOtion among the Copper
heads and rowdies who control the city.
But it must be enforced. Let the author

G.neraI niK,s rpeech.


We call the special attention of cur
readers to the eloquent speech of that ster-
ling Democrat and gallant patriot, Msjor
General John a. Dix, delivered at the crest
Union Jubilee held in New York city on
Monday last, which we publish in another
column. Brief pointed and stirring, it is
a model utterance of an American patriot
at just this hour of triumph and yet of con-
tinued peril. The reference to the anon
alOus position maintained by England in
reference to this country, and the aid that
the British government and nation, under
the pretence of neutrality, have treacher-
ously extended to the rebellion, is particu-
lsrly truthful and excellent, and the clos
ing portion of the speech rises into sublime
elOquence. Let no one fail to read it.

TESTIMONIALS OF REMARKABLE CURES.

TESTIMONIALS OF REMARKABLE CURES.
Among the numerous testimonials in his
possession, DR.. Lighthill has selected few
only of those from parties of established
position and well known throughout the
country.
From the New York Home Journal Of June 4.
In every business or profession, indeed
in every department of science or skill,
there is always some acknowledged head
some one who stands out in bold relief
among his fellows as sort of leader. In
the study and treatment of Deafness and
Cstarrh, as special diseases, DR.. Lighthill
OF this city occupies just the position above
described. He has devoted years of labor
TO this speciality; and is now reaping the
reward of industry. The editorial columns
of the Tribune, of recent date bear wit
ness to the Doctors success in this depart
ment of medicine. We quote the para
graph.
CURE OF A DEAF MUTE.-Louis Loew-
instein, lad of fourteen years of age, born
in Germany, came to this city when he
was about two years old. Soon after his
arrival here he was taken sick and lost his
hearing. By degrees he became first deaf
and then dumb. For nearly ten years he
wss mute, and unable to hear the loudest
sound or to srticulate word. About one
year sgo he was placed by his parents in
the hands Of DR.. Lighthill, who so far sue
ceeded in restoring him to his lost powers
of hearing and utteranee that he can con-
verse with those who speak to him distinct
ly and deliberately. DuliDg the past four
or five month he has been under the tut
tion of DR.. Bennickie, and he has made
considerable progress in reading and arith-
metic.
Having been supplied with the lads ad-
dress we further investigated the matter,
and discovered that previous to calling on
Dr. Iighthi1, the youths case was consid-
cred hopeless, and he was for two years an
inmate of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum
The Rev. John Mott, D. D., Professor in
Union College, Schenectady, in publish
ed letter, tenders his gratitude to Dr.. Light
hill for treating successfully his case of
deafness. Rev. Fred S. Newall, Professor
at the State Normal School at Albany, al.
so testihes to having been cured of catarrh.
DR.. Lighthil possesses other testimonials
and tributes Of talent, from some of our
weslthiest and most prominent and respect
ed citizens, which may be seen on spplica-
ton. 1t would be difficult to speak in any
but terms of praise of his treatment in the
face of these many proofs and facts testify
ing to his success.
