stomach, furred tongue, nausea, with frequent vomit
ings, dizziness towards night and restlessness. These
*ad continued upwards of a twelvemonth, when, oa
consulting Dr. Wm. Evans, 100 Chatham street, and
submitting to his ever successful and agreeable mode
e 4 treatment, the patient was completely _ restored to
_health in the short space of one month, and grateful for
the incalculable benefit derived, gladly came forward

Doors.
Tsubscriber would respectfully inform his cus
tomers and the public generally, that notwithstad
ing the unprecedented sales at the Three Big Doors,
during the present season; he has still on hand the lar
gest and most varied assortment of elegant CLO
THING that can be bought west of the mountains.—
The public may Mat asiured that all articles offered at
his store are maufactured from FRESH GOODS, pur
chased in the Eastern markets this sprbsg and made in
w garments by Pittteburgh workmen.
In consequence of the multiplicatism of slop shops in
oar city, filled with pawn brokers clothes and the musty,
cast soffgatraenta of former seasons, from the eastern ci
ties, tile pabtic should be cautious to ascertain the char
aicturof the establishments in which they are invited to
ssurchase, before they part with their money. The arti
cles offered at several of the concerns in this city, are
the snare offals of New York and Philadelphia slop
shops, and sent out here to be palmed off on the Pitts
*mit public. Purchasers should be on their guard a
gainst these impositions, and they may rely on the fac t
thatuo establishinent that advertises eastern made Clo
thing, can give as good an article or as advantageous
bargains as can be had at the "Three Big Doors. '
The public will please remember that all the subscri
ber's garments are made in this city, by competent work
men, and not gathered up like the goods now offered by
the "birds of passage" from the shreds and patches of
eastern slop shops. It will always be his endeavor to
maintain the reputation that the "Three Big Doors"
hansebtained for furnishing a superior style of CLO
. THING in every respect, and at prices below those of
any other establishment-
He would again return his thanks to his friends and
the public for the unprecedented patronage bestowed
upon his establishment, and believing that they have
found it to their advantage to deal with him, he would
repeat Ida invitation to all those who wish to purchase
Clothing of every description at the lowest price,to call

Travellers should select Boats provided with
Evan's Safety Guards for preventing Explosion of
Steam Boilers
IT would be well for the traveling community to
bear in mind that their security depends entirely
upon their own encouragement of boats that have or
may be at the expense of procuring the above appara
tus. And that every individual making such selec
tions is contributing towards a general introduction of
an invention admitted by all men who understand the
principles of the Steam Engine, to be a sum preventa
tive against those dreadful disasters. You have cer
tainly, in the hundreds of explosions that have already
taken place, their almost daily occurrence, and the
thousands of lives that have already been lust, a suffi
cient warning, and inducement to make inquiry for a
Safety guard Brat, and in every case to give it the
preference. They have wenl to an additional expense
that your lives may be secure. Ought vou not therefore
to meet them with a corresponding degree of liberality,
and by your preference show that you appreciate their
laudable endeavors to stop this awful sacrifice of hu
man life. They do nut charge more than other boats;
their accommodations in other respects are equal, and
in many cases superior, and as there is one leaving
Pittsburgh every day, why will you run any risk, when
it is so completely in your own power to avoid those dis
asters.
All boat.; marked thus (." 3 in the List of Arrivals and
Departures, in another part of this paper, are supplied
with the Safety Guard.

A TALE FROM THE GERMAN OF HOFFMAN
BY NR3. E. F. ELLS?
(CONCLUDED.)
Too well did Scuderi know what these metes *Orel
and she resolved on taking the tuivine Or an (*mums
lawyer in her extremity. Pierre Arnaud d'Andilly was
then the most celebrated advocate in Paris; to him she
applied, and told him all as far as she could, without
betraying the secret Brusson desired to toneed. - D l / 4
Andilly heard her through, and answered smiling,in the
words of Boileau: "Le vrai peut quelqate.foit yeetri
pas vraisemblable."—He showed her that under the
circumstances, and with the evidence before them 14
Regnie had ground for his suspicions; nor did he see
how the prisoner could be saved from the torture, with
out a full and free statement on his part of all that had
happened. "Then I will go to the King, and enpfdia.
cote his mercy!" cried the lady, wiping away her teirst
"Not so! for Heaven's sake, not so!" exclaimed D'Ark;
dilly. "The King cannot now show clensenCy . to ea*
thus suspected; it would stir up the people to the Sereeei
indignation. Let the prisoner clear himself, either by
confession or otherwise, of the heaviest part ends demi
sation; then it is time to implore the King's mercy."
Discouraged as she was, Scuderi still resolved not td
abandon the unhappy prisoner's cause, so long es deerli
remained a possibility of saving him. That evening.,
as she was sitting alone endeavoring to think of some
plan, Martiniere entered and announced the Count de
Moisse, an officer of the royal guard,
"I must pray your pardon, lady," said the Count, Is
with soldierly dignity he bowed on entering, "for intrez
ding upon you at so late an hour. We soldiers cannot
wait for convenient seasons; but two words will plead
my excuse. Olivier Brusson sent me to you."
"Olivier Brusson!" repeated the lady, startled "what
have you to do with him?'!
"I mentioned his name," replied the officer,
"because I know your friendly interest in him, and
know it will procure me a gracious hearing. He is, by
every one but you, supposed guilty of Cardillac's &add
not, however, by every one, for I, lady, agree with yod
in believing him innocent; and for even a better retied
than volt have."
"Speak—oh, speak!" cried Scuderi, clasping bet
hands.
"I was the person, Madame, who killed the old jerk
eller in the street, not far flora your house."
"You!" almost gasped the lady.
"I myself;" returned the Count; "and I aware you
lady, lam proud of the deed: Know, that it was Case
dillac who committed at night so . many thefts and robs
beries, and so long eluded the police: I know not host
it was, but the suspicion came into my head one dap
when I went to receive some ornaments I had ordered '
and the old villain showed great disquietude, Asking Me
for whom I designed the jewelry, and afterwards quest
tinning my servant to know if I visited a detrain lady%
I was on my guard, and observing that all the raurieted
were despatched by a dagger stroke through the bean )
I protected myself by a piece of linked steel armor'
which I wore under my vest. Cardillac fell upon and
from behind. His grasp was like that of a giant but
his dagger, which he plunged at my heert, slipped
harmlessly across the steel armor. My dagger was in
my hand; I turned upon him, and buried it in his be'
som."
"And yet you were silent ; " said the lady, "and 'Li
not give information."
"1 beg you observe," interrupted the officer, "that I
knew not how much information would be reeeivede
nor what it might bring upon me. Would La Regtdo,
made up-of suspicion as he is, believe any accost**
made against the honest and virtuous Master Caidits
lac? Would he not more readily turn the sword of la*
against me?"
"lrnpossible!,' said Scuderi. "Your rank—"
"Think," returned the officer, "of the Marshal cla
Luxemburg, whose application to Le Sage for his boa'
oscope brought him to the Bastille! No, lady, not te
hour of my freedom will give to La Regale, vrho
would gladly enough set his cold steel against out
throats."
',Then you would bring the innocent Brussel' to tire
scaffold!" demanded the lady.
"Innocent?" repeated the Count. "Do you call his' •
innocent who was accomplice in Cardillac's crimes?
No, lady, I determined to meal to you all I know; you
are at liberty to use the information I have conveyed to
you, fur the benefit of the prisoner, in any way thattioes
not place me in the hands of the Charnbre Ardeste i
It was no part of the lady's nature to spare any ex.
ertion where innocence was to be succoredt and after
this evidence of the truth of Olivier's statement, she
determined on disclosing all to D'Andily, under •
promise of secrecy.
D'Andily received her information, and himself
questioned the officer, particularly with respect to his
knowledge of Cardillac's person, and of, the Man 'retie
followed him. The Count replied that it was light
enough for him to see the goldsmith, whom he could
not mistake; he had killed Lim with the very dagger he
had since seen in the possession of La Regnie-. The
yowlg man that came up as the jeweller fell, had his
hat drawn over his features; but he saw enough of his
face to be able to recognize him again.
D'Aubily's opinion, after some deliberation, Vim,
that the evidence, though not sufficient to produce a
moral certainty of Brusson's innocence, would not re.
Hese him from the hands of the law. Even if act:pitted
of Cardillac's murder, suspicion would fasten upon him
as an accomplice of his crimes. All they could hope
was delay. Count de Mosse must repair to the Con;
ciergerie, identify the prisoner's person, and then re
late before the tribunal what had occcured. Then it
was the time to supplicate the King's mercy; and he
would counsel that nothing be concealed from his ma
jesty. In his sense of justice, in his internal tonvictioi
of the truth, lay the result.
The Count did as he was advised to do; and Scuderi
undertook to speak to the King. This was no easy
matter, as the popular horror of the supposed crime
rendered Louis unwilling to interfere with the execu
tion of the law. Madame de Maintenon's resolution,
never to speak to the Kin , ' ' of disagreeable matters,
placed her assistance out of the question. The prison
er's fate lay in the hands of M'lle de Scuderi. She ap•
peared in the apartment of M•iaanne de Maintenon, at
the hour when the King was expected: In her rich
dark dress and firming veil, her noble figure had a dir
nity that commauded attentiorr, and always observant
of grace and majesty, the King noticed her as WM
