"Look on this picture and then on that"
Here you behold the infirm step,
The pallid cheek, wasting form,
Untasted fool, and a social atmosphere
Poisoned with the tales of aches, pains,
Sleepless nights, and mental dependency.
There, laughing health, sparkling eyes,
Elastic steps, craving appetite, forgotten cares.
Genial thought and ambitious resolves
Show the contrast and mark the picture.

Lockiaw, or Tetanus, has long been

Lockjaw, or Tetanus, has long been
one of tho most formidable symptoms
ensuing upon certain kinds of wounds,
and it has sometimes baffled all the
resources of surgical and medicalart.
At last, however, a remedy has been
discovered that completely conquers
it. Chloroform is the benifcent a
gent. The method of application is
by placing cloth saturated with the
fluid along the entire spinal column,
and preventing evaporation by cover
ing the cloth with oiled silk. This is
donc whenever the patient feels the
tetanic paroxysm approaching. 1t
averts spasms and causes the patient
to. sink into n sweet refreshing slum-
Der, which may lead to rapid conva-
lesccnce. The inhalation of chloro-
form has hitherto been tried, but with
success only when complete anesthesia
was produced.

B. F. WHITTEMoRE.-The sub
Joined extract from a letter publish
ed in the ,Watchman of yesterday,
gives a. graphic description of this
Radical leader. We have seen the
original lctter, and know the gentle
man to whom it was written.
When party is led by such pco-
pie as this man and many Others of
his type, we can form q pretty just
opinion of its merits
At the North there may be some
respectable men among the Radicals
with them it is simply q political
livision-but at the South the par
ty and its leaders are alike beneath
contempt:
Boston, MASS, Sept. II, 1868.
i. "Yours of the End in
stant, was duly received. The de-
lay in answering has been that [
might look up the antecedchts of that
thief and scoundrel B. F. Whittemore.
I find that about twelve yaars ago he
was employed in this city as sales
man by dealer in lamps and gas
fixtures. In about eleven months he
stole about five thousand is, 5,000)
dollars. Was caught at it, arrested
and locked up for four days. His
friends came forward and offered to
make good the loss, if the parties
would not appear against him. The
man refused to receive the money
from his friends, but offered to let
him 90 if he would make a written
confession of the whole matter over
his own signature. lie acceded to
the proposition, wrote out ana signed
the document, and it was witnessed
by some well-known gentlemen of
this city, and that paper is still in
existence, and can be produced if
required, and;I should not be SUR
priscd if he hears from it before many
CATER this l lose sight of him for
while, but [ think he went to Call>
forna. After time, however, he
turns up as a clerk for Messrs.-,
Iron Founders. He was with some
them sometime, and according to their
statement to me, he robbed them of
a large amount of money-thcy don't
state the amount-but it was larger
than the first operation. They kick
ed him out and let him 60 at large,
because he was a relative of theirs.
81 next find him Chaplain in the
army and you know enough of his his
tory since. During all this time l hear
of great many disrcputable acts of
his in .cQnnection with women, Samb-
lsng,, &C., &C., but have not had time
to trace them down so as to give facts,
&C., but shall continue my lnvcstlga-
tons, and you will hear from me fur
