inesand vouches for its truth:


A aughable. yet mortifving incident o.
.curred at a smerry-making in the upper
part Of the city, recently. Music and dan


c;ng were the order of the evening, at a res
idence. where snme twenty couples bad cons
srerated to passsa pleasant evening. In
order to make room for the dancers. stove
! was removed from the room. and the hole BY
which the pipe passed through the second
fieor covered by small piece OF thin board.
| Ir so happened unfortunately that the pipe
had sbeen held in its place by small bit of
tin which had the aperture cut IN the mid
die. The upper. apartment IN which the


man trap was situated, was used by the
ladies as a sort Of retiring room, toe which
they repaired whenever they wished to re-


arrange their disordered garments, smooth


their tresses, or re powder their eheeks.--


Late in the evening" a buxom lass of sweet


sixteen and of full proportions. rushed hast


iiv into this room to improve her toilet, when.


as fate would have it. she placed her dainty


foot. and her one hundred and sixty, avoir
Edupnis. upon the aforesaid weak and treach-


erous board As you have already antici-


pated, it gave away with crash, and down


she came, driving her pretty leg through
I the orifce, far above the knee. and what is


worse than all. the Jagged edges of the tin


would not allow her to withdraw it. The
merry groups down stairs We're startled by
the apparition of neatly stockinged, finely


spered leg. hanging above their heads, be


tween the upholstered joists of their extern
pore dancing hall. There were screams and
confusion on the part of the ladies, and a
rushing up to their unfortunate sister, while
the others turned the other way, of course.
To be sure the exhibition would have been
considered all right in the ballet. but this
did not happen to be in the ballet. To
make the matter as brief as possible we
would add that pair of timers shears
were brought into requisition before the
damsel was released. Although her distress
and confusion would not permit of her ap
pearing again that evening. the remainder
of the party continued their festivities until

MEDICAL ADV1CE.-Dr. VIM. X. Doherty's
Medical and Surgical Institute is becoming sine
qua non to the welfare of our State and health
OF our citizens; and his rapidly spreading reputa-
ton, although it may excite surprise, is but the
signal Of skill, and follows as the natural effect
of such cause. We are personally acquainted
with gentlemen who had suffered for years under
chronic disease, and who had taken advantage of
every available means that promised relief but
without success until they called upon DR.. Do
herty, who in an incredibly short space of time,
has given them entire relief. 1t is gratifying to
announce this fact, because the Doctor is gen.
tleman who seeks. not by defamation of others.
to establish his reputation, or to rear the super
structure OF his own upon the ruin Of another's
fame. The Doctor conducts his Institute in snch
a manner that must be gratifying to all his pa
tients. He examines, advises and recommends
without charge, and the patient after hearing
his terms for treatment, can accept or reject at
pleasure. In no case does the Doctor make
charge unless he effects cure This, he is able
to do, because he feels the confidence which long
experience has given; and no doubt the consola-
t0n which appcrtains to that confidence. Per-
sons afflicted with either acute or chronic disease
would do we'll to consult the Doctor; at all events
it can do harm, as, for consultation he asks no
fee nor does he insist on obedience to his advice
unless the patient places himself under his care.
His Offices are on Sacramento street, opposite the
Pacific Mail Steamship ofice.-S. F. News.

more disease and suffering is s'cntailed upon chill

The New Orleans Herald, new loyal paper, con


tains the following sensible view of the question
regarding the colored race:


L" There are men who do not understand the social
problem which the free negro imposes on us for a
solution. Make the most of him. Improve him in
every way that his nature and capacity will bear


and the enigma is solved. If education is good for
the white man, because il makes him better citi-


zen, it is for the black man, because it divine
attribute. If the mute creature becomes more val


liable because we have taught it TO 10 things which
indicate Intelligence, but which arc useless, how


much room for advancement have we in that race


which has always been useful and valuable TO us in


every department of life, and which can improve so
easily? There is no use in avoiding the issue, for


it has TO be met. II uphcaves the social system al
ready, and men might well put their face against
a columbiad as try TO keep it down. The interest of
every man, woman and child in the country can
not be denied by prejudice and it is only prejudice
or passion which refuses to the way out of the
tanglc"


Nothing can be palmer or moro satisfactory TO
any one not stupidity or wilfully blind. Educate
and make the most of the capabilities of the negro
There is occasion TO place him higher in the scale
of society than his natural capacity, and the i'm
he has made of it, places him. There
are very few, if any, who desire to give the negro
any higher standing than he demand as due to
his own merit. Give him a chance and let him
work out the problem of his status himself. Like
everything else he will eventually find his level if
left free. He can not be forced higher, and as a
freeman he can not for any length of time be kept
lower. war of races, if it comes, will be forced
upon him only by most terrible and CALLING out
RACES The negro has fully demonstrated the natu-
raj docilty and noensive character of his race, by
his submission to centuries of slavery in this coun-

yoke.-MenlPhis Post.

The position and influence of the surviving ex-
Presidents of the United States afford a singular
commentary upon parties and politicians in this
country. Fillmore is OF no accent except among


few silver srays in the western part OF this State;
poor Pierce has dwindled into insignificance, and
has no influence save among few dyed. .n-the ore
copperheads; but the deadest of all live politicians
of former age is poor old Buchanan, who moans
in solitude at Wheatland with no refreshing recol-
lection of single act done for the good of his
country during his p oirac,ed term of public life.
The two last named have just joined the church.
which is no donbt good thing for themselves
bu. bad for the cause Of religion. We imagine it
would bs difficult to get up revival in any church
where poor Pierce and poor Buchanan are comm u
nicants. Neither of these ex-Presidents Of the
United States have the influence Of a Sixth Ward
hummer. The latter might, and many Of them
did get up companies and regiments that did good
service in fighting down the rebellion. Did ever
Fillmore get up a regiment, or Pierce, or Buchan-
an. for the same service7 We may examine tho
military history of the war in vain to find such a
record. Thus have :he leaders of the old parties
of the last twenty years passed into nsignifcance
and obscuriiy. .-Nclo York Herald

Ma. EDiros,-SIR: Please allow me
through your respected columns to give
brief synopsis Of the election in the good
old Democratic town Of WATERFORD, which
took place the 10th inst. The meeting was
called to order and the warrant read by B.
F. Leavitt, chairman Of the boarl Of select
men. In the first place ! wish to call at.
tention to the mastery wisdom exhibited
by that board. A certain republican went
before il with young nun to have his
name put upon the check list, when they
displayed the wisdom which characterizes
the democrats Of this town. They, from an
inadequate knowledge Of An. ID, Sect. ist
of the Constitution Of Maine, asked the
gentleman IL that was his ward, not know.
ing hut what persons under guardianship
have the same legitimate authority to exer.
else the right Of suffrage as any other per.
sons. No wonder the democuts Of this
town under the wise and judcious trimming
Of such men (who were fortunate enough
To have Daniel Webstcr's mantle fall upon
them) and the enticement that the promise
Of few dollars gave, and also being actu.
ated by spirits, not Divine, hut spirits of
whiskey, alcohol and the Devil combined,
should give the democratic nominees seven.
~ nine majority. Secondly wish to rep.
resent the party in clear, concise aud JUS
tifable manner. And in order to do so !
shall arrange them into three classes. The
first class are an honest, upright and peace
loving people. who have no doubt would
like to have the blessing Of liberty rest up.
on themselves and posteri,y. The second
class are set of men that have by their
extravagance spent their fortunes, lost their
credit, and therefore are in violent haste
for another war, in hopes by plumber to re-
plenish their pockets like vultures who keep
lowering over dead carcase. They speak
aloud just..as they would have il, that all
things are running to confusion. The third
class arc like crows, love the fruits Of the
earth but hate the smell Of gunpowder; and
they affirm as positively, though not SO loud.
ly, that we shall be inevitably ruined unless
there Is a change Of Congress. They are
men like molcs that are always digging un-
der ground, and no kind Of soil can escape
their talons. There are several select com.
panies Of drunkards who, instead Of mind.
ing their own business, assemble at different
ale houses to settle the state Of the nation
over tankard Of porter or a bowl Of punch.
These may properly be called


~ psmper'd people, and debauched with esse,


No king can govern and no God can please"


The above gentry are a real nuisance to
human society, as they raise groundless
fears in the minds Of peaceable people who
think It high time to feel their grievances
when they really happen. For my own
part, when ! consider the present distracted
state Of affairs and compare il with my duty
as an individual, ! am ready to cry out with
the Psalmist, "siay peace be within her
walls and prosperity within her palaces! !"
May they prosper who wish her well and
seek her peace continually! and in this
wish doubt not Mr.. Butler hut you will
join heartily with YoUR FRIEND.

THIS Is natural question for farmer
to ask, but an answer is not always rsadilv
given. A man, with two or three years
experience on farm, can determine pref
ty nearly what crop is best suited to each
section of it, so far as quantity or yield is
concerned, but it is not so easy to decide
what particular product will pay best in
any particular year. Sometimes the pota-
to crop is short and the price Of that prod
uct reaches very high figure. The next
seoson each farmer doubles his quantity of
potato ground, and the result is reduR,
dant market and low prices Then follows
diminished production again, and so on,
year in and year out This is orc of the
annoyances of trade, and pertains TO all
calllngs. to certain extent. That farmer
will probably succeed best who pursues a
generally uniform system-diversifying
his crops regularly. so that he may have
something to sell Of each class Of products.
whatever the ruling price of them in the
market may be-RurR Nc,r Yorker
