CALAVERAS CHRONICLE.
Lines on q Skeleton.


Behold this ruin! Twas skull
Once of ethereal spirit full.
This narrow cell was Life's retreat,
This spcce was Thoughts mysterious seat.
What beauteous visions filled this spot,
What dreams of pleasure long forgot.
Nor Hope, nor Joy, nor Love, nor Fear,
Have left one trace of record here.
Beneath this mouldering canopy,
Once shone the bright and busy eye;
But start not at the dismal void
II once with love that eye employed,
If with no lawless fire it cleaned,
But through the dews of kindness beamed,
That eye shall be forever bright
When stars and sun are sunk in night.
Within this hollow cavern hung,
The ready, swift and tuneful tongue.
If falsehoods honey it disdained,
And when it could not praise was chained,
If bold in virtues cause it spoke,
Yet gentle concord never broke
This silent tongue shall plead for thee
When time unveils Eternity.
Say, did these fingers delve the mine:
Or with the envied rubies shine:
To hew the rock or wear the gem
Can little now avail to them.
But if the page of truth they sought,
Or comfort to the mourner brought,
These hands a richer need shall claim
Than all that wait on Wealth or Fame.
Avails it whether bare or shod,
These feet the paths of duty trod:
If from the bowers of Ease they fed,
To seek Affections humble shed
If Grandeur's guilty bride they spurned,
And home to Virtues cot returned,
These feet with sngels' wings shall vie,
And tread the palace of the sky.

Electricity as a Curative Agent.

H7HEN 1T WAS PROMULGATED BY
w the Directors of the ELECTRoPATHIC
INTTrrurE. that disease could be entirely
eradicated from the system without the use
of poisonous drugs, the thoughtless and
those who do not look deeply into cause and
effect secuted the assertion as chimerical, and
wrote long articles replete with sophistry,
claiming that only through the digestive sys-
TEN could the blood be purged o:the poisons
which constitute disease a great cry went
up from those interested in the continued
supremacy of the old system OF one poison to
cure another. All OF the empyrics Joined In
the chorus, and in their ignorance laughed at
the new system, circulating base stories OF its
ill-success, and quoting imaginary cases as
proofs Time has demonstrated their dis
honesty. After five years OF uninterrupted
success the Electropathic system is the lead
ing idea in medical jurisprudence, while by
the old system, physicians were content to
cure one in every five cases, there, were those
who were diving deep into the science of the
curative art i; among these were the Electro
pathists; finally, it was discovered that the
failure in most of the cases of organic dis
ease, was entirely due to the machine. TAX
ing this view of the case, DR.. j. II. Josselyn,
after years of experiment, has perfected an
Electropathic Instrument which will cure any
disease which flesh is heir, always to be un-
derstood that the case is not so far advanced
as to show destruction of the vital tissues.
We do not claim that the use of medicines
may not Re more advantageous in some cases,
but. that in connection with medicines, it will
perform cure much sooner than without,
and also that diseases hitherto deemed incur
able, can be cured by this system but the di
rectors would take this opportunity to info-m
invalids that the Resident Physician is a
regular graduate, and has had large eXper-
ence in the treatment of diseases, both with
and without the aid of electricity, he has also
discovered several "electic' vegetable RENE
dies that will cure almost any nameable dis
ease, which he will send to any part of the
Pacific Coast upon receipt of complete des-
cr;ption of the disease with which the appli
cant may be afflicted, and will warrant per-
feet cure in all cases. where the medicines are
used according to directions, and more es-
pecial in cases of FEMALE TROUBLES,
,ohere great care and caution are necessary
to a favorable result. From early morn until
late at night, this instrument is employed,
imparting health and strength to all who are
so fortunate as to obtain its services. Dis
eases (Which by the old system took months,
or even years to cure, are now cured in few
days or weeks. The cost, too, is not so great
as by the old system. besides the saving of
time. Connected with this system is the re-
nowned

Medical Advice to Females.

When a female is in trouble or afflicted with dis
and requires medical surgical assistance
the inquiry should be, where is there a physician
who is fully competent to administer relief-one
whose knowledge of the female system is perfect
who thoroughly understands the application of
medicine to disease, whose scientific attainments
in surgery have made him pre-eminent in his pro-
nifty? Unless these and many more questions can
be satisfactorily answered, the afflicted should
pause before consulting any one. The Doctor has
been PROFESSOR OF OBSTETRICS and FE-
MALE DISEASES for twenty years, and is fully
qualified to administer in all cases, both medically
and surgically, in thorough manner asyears Of
study and practice-both in hospitals and private

This Institute was established to. if posi-
BILE. prevent the unwary from falling into
those dens of robbery. (yclept quack doctors

oil this Institute will not be to blame if the
afflicted are robbed of their money, and in
jured in constitution. There is also another
view of the affair. The rising generation
should be reared with strong constitution,
and the Directors wish to arouse their guard
ians to proper sence of their duties in their
premises, if possible to preveut them from
stuffing their young charges with deleterious
drug, with chance of entailing upon the
tender constitution, just forming, complica-
tion of evils, a thousand times worse than
death.
1t would be consuming space, to no pur-
pose. to enumerate the diseases to which this
system is applicable, suffice it to say, that
there is no disease. within the catalogue of
human ills but what can be cured at the Elec-
tropathic Institute. We heve instructed the

A Visitor from Mexico,

1t was our pleasure, few days since,
to greet an old friend, Mr.. Sherrod
Hunter, who left Cordova, the Confed-
crate colony in Mexico, on the 1lth of
May. He says there are 500 to 1000
persons from the South settled there,
that they are well satisfied with the
country, and expect to make it their
permanent home. They are cordially
received, and treated in q friendly man
ner by both Impcrialists and Liberals.
Maximilan desires immigration from
this country, to develope the resources
Of Mexico, and the Liberals extend
welcome for the same reason, and prom
ise friendship as long as the ncwcom-
ers refuse to identify themselves with
the imperial government. Americans
are safe with either party, but a French
man, Austrian, or Dutchman who falls
into the hands Of the Liberals, "pulls
hemp" without benefit of clergy. Gov.
Isham G. Harris family reached Cor
dova about the Sth Of May,-Fayette.

CARL ScHURz-callcd General, we
presume because he is not particular as
to what he says-makes the following
declaration in his Detroit Post:
In the South before the war, white
workmen favored slavery. In conse-
quence, slaves worked without any wa
ges at all, except the bare cost of their
keeping; hence, white men seeking
work had to work for the same
amount
Now, everybody knows that before
the war white men got higher wages
South than North, and were always in
request. We never read Carl's report
on the South, but if he got no better
knowledge Of its loyalty and justice to-
wards freedmen by that tour than he did
Of its recompense for labor, we do MOI
wonder that Andy Johnson paid no at
tention to it.

History of the Alabama.

1t is stated that Admiral Raphael
Semmes is engaged on history OF the
Confederate war steamer Alabama, her
cruises and exploits. He has already
been offered $4,000 for copyright OF
the work in England, and wisely refused
it. Such history, written by clear
and forcibIe writer like Admiral Sem
mes, the principal actor, who only has
the Alabamas true record, ought to be
worth twice that sum in England, OF
any other country. 1t will be book
of rare adventure and wonderful eX.
ploits, to say nothing of the light il
will throw upon the war.
