The Faithless Physician.

On Saturday, the Sth day of October, 1864,
a rich man was taken to his grave from the
city OF New York, where by life of indus
try, temperance, economy, and the exercise of
sound Judgment, he had acquired a large es-
tate; not suddenly, but in the process of thir-
W years. From some obscure cause he be-
Came great sufferer from general neuralgia
a physician was called, but in the progress of
weeks did not afford the INVALID that speedy
and decided relief which he and his friends SO
much desired. He wanted more potential
remedies, and was not willing to submit to
those restraints, to system and rule in living
which the experience of years taught his
medical attendant were of the highest value
ultimately.
Another physician was called in, who adj
Vlsed Inherent course of procedure. He
SAID the man needed strength and flesh and
yigor; that these could only be secured by
generous diet and liberal allowance of slim
ulants at every meal. Roasted beef and the
best brandy were regularly provided; the neu-
ralsia was steadily abating, and speedy resto-
ration was looked tor. Still days passed on,
and gentlemen calling at his counting house
Were informed that the head of the firm was
"out of town." This answered very well for
while, but gentlema who had large en-
gaQements with the invalid, found it absolute

at his own home in the city, the victim OF a
most fearful form of delirium tremens. Bran
dy had given relief; but it was soon found
that unless it was administered more trequent-
ly, and in larger quantities, the pain would
soon return; hence there was an unbridled
indulgence in the remedy, the result being
that at the end OF few weeks, it was found
necessary to keep the patient always under
the influence of liquor, that is, always drunk;
at length, however, the outraged stomach re-
fused to retain the fiery stimulant single

death, before the business could be consum-
mated by his intelligent signature.
Here was man who, temperate all his life,
had died drunkard's death as the result of
an unwise medical prescription of certain

Whisky" and there are thousands of deluded
persons of every age and sex, especially in
New England, on the same road to ruin. A
few years ago, cod liver oil was given for ev-
erything; now it is brandy. Shame on the

ANOTHER HISTORICAL PAINTISG.-A celr-

thousand miles from here has begun and
is now engaged upon historical painting,
which he designs to offer for one of the va
cant panels in the rotunda Of the capitol
to be side by side with the "Landing OF
the Pilgrims" and "The Signing of the
Declaration of Independence" The sub
ject is "The Shackling Of Jefferson Davis
in Prison."
1t will he some months before this fine
painting is entirely finished, but when it is
done, and placed on exhibition in the ro-
tunda, there can be no doubt that Con-
gress will make liberal appropriation for its
purchase. If Congress haggles at all about
the price, Massachusetts, will at once step
in and become the purchaser, in honor OF
her worthy son, Sir Hudson Miles. But
Congress will never consent that the work
shall leave the capitol when it has once
entered it. For this painting will com.
memorate the grandest achievement of the
war against the South. The action which
the painting commentaries throws far into
the shade the most brilliant of Grants
