and four Know Nothings.

That Pi.ioih SroT. Dr. A. K. Gardner,
of New York, writes as follows to tho editor
f tho Newark Daily Advertiser, respecting
the report sot on foot by a morning paper in
that city. His letter is dated June 20th :
"I hasten to deny tho truth of the report in
toto. At the meeting of the Academy of
Medicine, this evening, I inquired of many
present, and nothing of the kind exists or has
(teen seen iu this city.
"The report aroso. from the existence of
some half a dozen casps of an eruptive dis
ease called Pustule MMgne. A few cuscs
existed last year. It is characterized by the
appoarance of a pimple, rapidly increasing in
lie. to that of an ordinary b'il. with symp
toms resembling thoso of a carbuncle, great
fever and very severe constitutional distur
bance. . One or two of tho cases have rocov
ered, but they have generally been fatal iu a
few days. The disease is not a new disease,
though unfrequent here ; and it is well known
not to be of a contageous character. No
-alarm need therefore be felt by those wishing
to come to New York. I havo considered it
my duty to write this plain statement to
Newark, where I have many friends whose
alarm will thus, I trust, be quieted, in order
to correct the mischief committed by some
careless newsgatherer. seeking for a 'spicy I
Item' rather than attempting to do good."
Calvin on Wish. The lato Albert Galla
tin, President of the New York Historical
Society, related the following anecdote to tho
Hon. O. C. Verplanck, from whom we get it.
Kcveral years ago, a number of Calvin's let
ters were found among the archives of Gen
neva, some of which, relating to his domestic
affairs, exhibit a curious picture of the daily
lifo of this great presbyter, and illustrate
atrikingly his peculiar habits and temper. In
a scolding letter to the syndics, or magistrate,
of Geneva, ho complains that they have tilled
his cellar with wine of poor quality.
"I do not keep open house," he savs, "nor
do I entertain my guests at my table, nnd
therefore the quantity you have sent displea
ses me as well as the quality. I wish, there
fore, you would take it away, and replace it
with something that I can drink. I do not
want much merely enough for my own use
and that of my family ; a few barriques (bar
rels of about 40 gallons each,) sny four or five,
will be sufficient for me once a quarter."
We are afraid the Presbyterians of this
century havo been tremendous backsliders.
Svhen shall we see such men as Luther and
.'lvin T Exchanye.
TooANXiors, bv Half. An amusing
flair happened, lately, between a coal dealer
nd a purchaser. Tho latter was very nnx
ious to see that the former did not cheat, him,
so he (the purchaser) inspected the weight of
the coal himself, and felt perfectly satisfied
that he got his full ullowunce, without uny
desire on the part of tho coal dealer to
"shave." However, whilo the coal was
weighing, tho driver of the team could not
lielp laughing, aware, at the time, that the
purchaser was ' particular about his full
weight of coal. Tho purchaser, noticing the
laughing of the driver, asked him, wheu he
received his coal, what it was all about ; so
the driver told him : "Why," said he, "when
your coal was weighing you were standing on
the scales, and was weighed with it." "is it
possible T Why, I weigh nearly two hundred
pounds 1" "Well Bir," said the driver, "you
re sold." "Yes," was the reply, "and I have
loughi myself, too."
Col. Jf-tt. Davis and Gov. Uekokii. Col.
Jefferson Davis, the Secretary of War, now
on a visit to his Mississippi home, delivered
a speech in Vicksburg on the 16th instant.
Kmm n. rennrt nf the address, which appear
ed in the Vicksburg Whig, it seems that he
spoke as follows about the appointment and
retention in office of tho present abolition
Governor of Kansas territory :
In reference to the appointment of Roe.
der. Col. Davis stated that it was not known
to the administration when he was appointed
that he was an Abolitionist; he was regarded,
from his speeches as leaning the other side.
He admitted, however, that it was known that
Keeder had fallen on the side of the Aboli
tionists in the contest in Kansas. He (Col
Davis) has certainly been opposed to Uccder'g
remaining in office, is opposed now.and tbiuks
it probable he has been removed. He ought
to have been removed the day after he was
appointed.
Ci'Rioca Tvi'OCRArnrcAL Ebror. Profes
sor Trench, in his latest work on the English
language, points out a curions typographical
error in the 20th verse of the 23d chapt er of
Mathew. The words 'which strain at a gnat
and swallow a camel," the professor thinks
contain a misprint, which having been passed
over in the edition of 1611, has held its ground
ever since. The translators intended to say,
which strain out a crnat and swallow a cam

onginol, aa appears in lyusuuie s aim t,ran.

NEWSPAPER EDUCATION.
The following extract is from a letter writ
ten by an English author, whose first work
was published in the 18th century, and ex
presses the opinion of one whoso pen has nev
er been employed but for good, and whose
earnestness in the cause of education has nev
er been exceeded. It was addressed to the
London Times: "Independently of what
may be the pecuniary interests of the Times
newspaper, I should strongly oppose, were I
in Parliament, any measure that mightcramp
it. I havo a high opinion of what I deem to
be the educational influences of a paper that
employs so much liteniry ability in a way that
brings its compositions into perpetual peru
sal. A busv. nurrvimr aire, will not sit down
to read hiatorv. nhilosoDtiV. or political sci
ence in the best books on the subject. If
they would, I should count the frequency and
nlmnrntinn nf a dnilv naner to be damaging
to the general mind. But, in the absence of
such reading, here is a valuable substitute, if
nnt a nnrfnet eouiva cut. luierposinir irruvu,
sober, instructive arguments, on a variety of
matters, in the course ot frivolity and dissipa
tion and mind engendered by novels and bur
lesques and buffoonery. Dr. Arnold found
that the serial publications of Dickens, &c,
much hindered nis boys."
A Curious Cask A uietcen Slaves Gone.'
We observed a (rood deal of exitcment on
Monday afternoon on the wharf, near the
steamer Caledonia, and soon saw a number
of colored people, male and female, currying
a great quantity of baggage off the Btcamer
to tho wharf. On inquiry, we learned that
an old gentleman on guard was taking nine
teen slaves, male and female, by way of this
city, from Culpepper, Virginia, as ho alleged,
for the purpose of freeing them in Ohio, and
buying land for them. The slaves, however,
from some cause, became suspicious that he
really intended taking them to some slave
State, and holding them as slaves. Six men
of tho number, therefore, broke away from
tlio party and concealed themselves. The
old man, as one of the slaves told us, assured
the others that they might also leave if they
pleased, and finally all put their baggage
ashore, quite deliberately, procured a wagon,
and took it off into the city. J'iltsburg Dis
