solcits generous share of the patronage of the
community. Office in his residence, at st Clairs-
vile.
He would call the attention of the public, and to
those more Immediately interested to the follow
ing His health being too delicate to bear much
of the fatigues and exposures consequent on gen.
eral practice, mas adopted speciality III the
profession.
Soon after commencing practice, some twenty
wears since, he was attracted by the almost uni
versatility of female complaints bO tn in the mar
ried and single state. Partly from natural incli-
nation, and in order to obtain success in practice,
these complaints were made the subject of incess-
ant study. These alterations, displacements and
deranged functions of the organs peculiar to the
female, are owing to that refined sense of delcacy
on the part of the female, who, ignorant of the
consequences prefers to suffer in silence rather
than expose her situation. Seldom cured by the
general practitioner, who is prevented by this
delieacy from acquiring by experience that tact
and skill necessary to discriminate the exact
change present, and contents himself with pre-
scribing for the deranged functions overlooking
the cause simply for attendant nervous disorders,
founding his prescriptions Oh PlCthOrc Anaemon-
c state of the general system and the result is no
benefit, as the number of the long suffering fe-
males bears ample testimony. Believing that he
has, from long and special attention paid to them,
acquired that skill in discriminating and expert
ence in treating, he sOlicits the suffering to give
him call. No charges for consultation or exam

CuRIosITEs OF CoNsTIrUuoN.-It
seems paradox to say those persons who
shout loudcst for liberty are commonly
the most illiberal; but the world abounds
in proofs Of the assertion. The telegraph
brings fresh evidence from the State of
Arkansas. The convention which has
been ineubating at Little Rock for long
time past has at last hatched out consti-
tuition, which combines the extremes of
freedom and tyranny 10 an extent hard to
be paralelled in history, After giving the
ballot to women and negroes, it proceeds
to declare how voting shall be done On the
new constitution. Voters are required
TO swear that they have never given aid
to secession in any State. This offers a
premium to periury,or shuts the door of
repentance and reformation against those
who have erred, and it is Of itself a mon
strous instance of injustice. Not satisfied
with this, the trainers of the constitution
clap muzzle upon every mans mouth, by
requiring him to swear that he accepts
for all times the social and political equal
ling Of the white and black races; not mere
ly the "political, observe, but the soci
al! 4" But tie essential despotism ofthis
new constitution reaches the climax when,
after insisting on all these qualifications
for voting it disfranchises all persons who
shall vote against the new Constitution
We match this against anything that can
be found in the previous history of the
world.-New York Journal of Commerce.

A NICE LITTLE RoMANCE.-In '64,one
of Prices rebs got left behind after a raid
on GLASGOW, Mo being dangerously wounded
in the back. Miss Sarah, A. Smith, a
school teacher happening to rass by took
pity on him and staunched his wounds
probably saving his life. She remained
with him till near nightfall, when the SOL
dier advised her to leave, saying that his
companion would probably come in the
night and take him-if not, she would
find him there in the morning. He told
her that his name was Ii. G.. Mcdonald :,
and that he was from Louisville, kv.-
The next morning be was gone, and Miss
Smith did not hear from him again till
few days ago, when she received a letter
from the administrator of II. C. Mcdonald,
senior, informing her that she was named
in the will of the deceased as the legatee OF
$4,000, in consideration of saving the
life of his nephew and only heir, the
II. G, Mcdonald named in connection with
the incident of 1864. The Glasgow
Times vouches for the correctness of this

rJudge Woodward has already prov.

T Judge Woodward has already prov
ed himself as able debater in Congress
as he was jurist upon the bench. His late
speech upon the currency is, we think, one
of the ablest speeches ever made in Con-
gress, and is absolutely unanswerable.-
Nor does he fail TO denounce in fitting
terms the monstrous crime of impoverish-
ing the white race to let negroes eat the
bread of idleness. He says: " Let the
country understand, therefore, that one
hundred millions Of their money GO annu-
ally to setting up the negro to rule over
white men. But this is rot all
the negro is costing US. There are
three aud half millions more of money
thrown away upon the negro. The secre-
tary says the freedmen, as people, ale
making rapid progress in education, and
mechanic arts, and in all branches ofindus
try, and surely they ought to be, for no
white men were ever so cared for by this
government; ID, clothed, warmed, educa-
ted, doctored, and carried about the coun-
try at the expense Of the government. -
Is not such picture enongh to inspire the
white race in America with feeling of
shame and revenge? Then this report
referred to by Judge Woodward, of the
progress of the negroes are making is to-
wards their natural barbarism. They
are already progressing in Hayti, Jamaica,
Trinidad Barbados, Surnam, and any
other spot where they have been let loose
from the control of the white race.-OLd

THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR RTE DELAY
IN RECoNsrRuCnoN.- London Times
of recent date, in Ienthy article on the
situation in this country, gives the Radical
destructionists the following to mediate
on;
" The responsibility of most of the evils
at present cyershadowing the South rests
upon Congress. The sudden liberation of
four millions of slaves. and the vast de
struction of property, conld not, in spite of
all tha. might be done, fail to cause great
disarrangement and many troubles. But
the inevitable difficulties have been increas-
ell by inconsiderate or partisan leglslatino.
The overthrow of State organizations and
the establishment of military government
straugled private enterprise aue frightened
capitalists away. The delay in the work
of reconstruction has further impoverished
the plsaters, and in homely phrase, taken
the heart out of them" The promises to
freedmen made under the sanction of the
Radical party have confused all relations
between the employer and the employed
Political diseentents--those diseontents
which have grown up since the war-have
entanglod the people of the two sections
SO that the North will not use the South
even as field for investment. This is
all that Congress has yet effected for the
settlement of question which way intrI
cate enough to puzzle the wisest men
America has ever had, but which would
have yielded to patient discussion and fair
treatment. In 1862 Congress silenced
the men who pointed the way TO restora-
ton, now it is obliged to listen to them,
and the people are not unlikely to take
their advice after all. "

TWO LITTLE PAIRS OF BOOTS.

"Two little pairs of boots tonight
Before the fire are drying;
Two little pairs of tired feet
In the trundle- bed are lying.
The tracks they leave upon the floor
Makes me feel like signing.
Those little boots with copper toes,
They run the live-long day,
And oftentimes almost wish
That they we're miles away
So tired | am to hear so of
Their heavy tramp.at play.
They walk about the new -plow'd ground,
Where mud in plenty lies;
They roll it up in marbles round,
And bake it into pies,
And then at night upon the floor
In every shape it cries.
To-day was disposed to scold
.. But when look tonight
At those small boots before the fire
The copper toes so bright
think how sad my heart would be
To put them out Of sight.
For in trunk up stairs L We laid
Two socks Of white and blue;
If called to put those boots away,
Oh God what should do ?
mourn that there are not tonight
Three pairs instead Of two,
mourned, because thought how nice
My neighbor cross the way,
Could keep her carpets all the year.
From getting worn and gray;
Yet well know she'd smile to own
Some littlo boys to-day
All, we mothers weary get AMI worn
Over our load of care
But how we speak of these dear ones
Let each of us beware;
What would our fIesiies be tonight
If no small boots were there 2"
