1t seems that dueling is practically at
an end in Virginia as well as everywhere
else in the Union. 1t is something
unusual for challenge to be passed now
In any part OF the country. The Code
DuellO has given place to the juster and
more honorable DEGREES OF public opinion.
A mans honor does not depend so much
on mis- skill in the use Of the pistol or the
sword as on his conduct. The person
81 @bO now seeks notoriety through duel
ing sensation usually becomes the subject
OF ridicule. the code is obsolete.

\ BANEFUL. DRUG.
A. Prominent Cincinnati Physician E,.
comes Slave to Cocaine.


"A HrOmlnent CinctnnaCa PHYSICIAN A3os
comes Slave to Cocaine.
[Cincinnati Cor. N. Y. Times.I
For some time past the peculiar actions
Of Dr. J. W. Underhill, one of the most
prominent ply ysicians of this city, have ex-
cited the gravest apprehensions among his
friends. The neighborhood in which he
lives has been almost terroriZed by his &C.
centricities. but his brother physicians
have heretofore refused to state the exact
naturs of his trouble. 1t is now developed
that Or. Underhill is a. victim Of the co.
caine habit, being the third authenticated
case in the United States. The eminent
doctor, who was twice elected coroner,
and was for several terms presl-
dent of the Cincinnati board of
education, has been in poor health
for two or three years. He went to the
Bermuda Islands in the winter OF 1854, and
returned in an improved condition. While
suffering from lung disorder the doctor
contracted a. desire for opium, which he
used iinmoderately. Upon the supposition
that cocaine would cure him Of tho opium
habit he began to use it, but it seems to
have had a contrary and more horrible
effect.
The exact time when DR.. Underhll be-
gan the use of cocaine can not be ascel-
tanned, but it certainly dates back three or
four months. He is now "a pitiable sight
The dreadful drug has reduced him in
flesh until he is mere skeleton. The pu-
pills Of the eyes are greatly dilated, and his
whole appearance is indjcatiye of a man
under in ntense mental strain and excite
ment. On several occasions during the
past two weeks the unfortunate physician
has shown ., disposition to be vindictive
when deprived of the drug. Persuasion
has been useless, and coercive measures
were not resorted to On account of the
high standing of the family and
the unpleasant notoriety it would
give them. Yesterday the doctor
slipped out Of his house while unobserved
and went to livery stable, where he hired
a buggy and drove toward tho country.
Shortly after his disappearance Mra
Underhill left her homo in great alarm,
but could find no trace Of him: 1t is Ger.
tain that he had been taking large por.
tions Of cocaine hypodermically, and he
was frenzied from the effect. He has OF
late entirely neglected his practice, which
brought him an income yariously esti-
mated at from ten to fifteen thousand doI-
lars per anrum, and his former patieuts,
awed by his horrible condition, havs
avoided him. A searching party was sent
out and ne was found and brought home.
The publication of the distressing facts
connected with the unfortunate affair
created great sensation in this city.
Friends Of the family say that the doctor
will be committed to private asylum. Az
times he is quite rational, and after the in.
fluence of the drug has temporarily sub
subsidized it leaves him weak and debili-
tated DR.. Underhil is about ffty-two
years of age and was born in Maryland.

yestal from Freedoms temple
Stay thy etherial flight;
Accept rose for thy garland,
ray for thy living light,
Which thou wearest for liberty heroes.
Which thou guard st, till the sun shall have set
On mountain and valley forever IL
Our of ring is for Lafayette.
Though the son of another nation,
America holds most dear
The honor to claim by adoption,
The right to love and revere
Lafayette, one of Freedoms apostles,
10 our country unfailing and true;
For the generous service he rendered,
Our deepest. best gratitude's DUE
When our forefathers suffered oppression,
Bent low beneath tyranny's yoke,
They met under Libertys standard,
And warfares dark rhundercloud broke
Lafayette, French Marquis, scarce twenty,
When the roar Of the tempest had spread,
Vowed his sword to the bIest cause of freedom,
And, if called for, his life in its stead.
His country as yet being neutral,
Declined his high project to aid;
And friends used all efforts, but yainly,
His hopes and resolves to dissuade.
He triunphed DER threats and entreaties,
Purchased ships with his own private means
And left loving wife and young children,
And home, with it's bright happy scenes.
TO sail o er the oceans great bilows
And fight with the patriot band;
With the courage aud strength Of hero,
Priyations Of war to withstand,
He desired no favor of Congress,
But to serve Freedon's cause unrepaad;
by his manifold acts Of benev lence,
The arlny's distress he allayed.
His spirit of patient endurance
In the wars darkest hour Of distress,
Lent light not less radiant aud holy
Than his bright thrilling hopes of success.
We might mention the many engagements
Where his yalor and reasoning sage
Won laurels unfading, It's needless,
You've READ it on h,story's page.
The bond of true friendship uniting
Lafayette and our Washington great
Was as grand and as pure and as molly
AS history s annals relate.
After victory's pnlm-trec in glory
Der the country, Its peaceful shade spread
Lafayette, in the land of his fathers,
10 the great cause OF Justice was wed.
Not only in France, but wherever
Hununity's sons endured wrong,
He pleaded for weakness and suff ring
'G;,inst the power Of the proud and the strong
His name le, us fondly cherish,
Wreath in gratitude's living hoW'rs,
And his life, q grand type OF true manhood,
Be a. model and guide for ours.
