' TIIE TRUE HISTORY OF A LITTLE
RAGAMUFFIN."
A NEW BOOK ABO UT 1UE LONDON I'OOU
Mr. J nmps Orecnwoorl, the "nmateur caMiul,"
wdoms remark-oblc adventures In a London wont-hout-c
have attracted miirh attention in Eng
land, has publisher) a Lew narrative said to oc
a picture of actual lite amonar tbe London poor
under the title of "Thf True History of a Little
RapamiifTin." It is highly praised by the Ens
liBh (ournala, one ol which remarks that "so
gTaphic is it in style that we can scarcely divest
ourselves ol the idea that ho must have been on
intimate terms with the rntrmulliri he personates."
Frying-pan alley. Clerkcnwcll, was the place in
which the hero tirst saw the lurht, his luther
being a "coster.'' and till his mother's death,
which happened when ho was about six years
old, he seems not to have had a particularly
hard lime of it.
There are in this volume several bits of char
acter-drawinpr which are in the Pickens manner,
and cxceedinply pood such, lorinstnnce, as this
sketch of Mrs. Winkship, a woman of business
who inhabits Frying-pan alley:
MBS WINKSHIP.
' Mrs. Winkship was an elderly lady, hvlnir at thti
entrance ot the alley. It a single pound, she was
tult live stone heavier than Mr. Pigaot.o say nothing
of tier beiiifT considerably shorter and thicker.
But it was nut entirely on account of hor superior
size that I lult more inlcieat in Mrs. Winkship's case
than lr the Dtibiican's. As lor Mr. Piffpott, so lone
as tlier succeeded in removing bis body, how would
not bHve troubled me in the least; indeed, so lur
lrom being! affected by ttie tact ol his dying, I have
no doubt that, had I been inlormed that tbat event
had takon place on his own premises, 1 should have
(rrtat I y rejoiced that now all chnuces of tue occur
rence 01 lue calami y that haunted me wore at an
end j but in Mrs vVtnkship'a case, respeot, not tosay
downright love and gratitude, eutered very consi
derably into tho question she was a woman of
business. I don't know exactly what sho caLed
bersell, but she followed tne bu.inoss left by her
husband, which was that of lending harrows and
money to the many iruit-huukcrs that lived in our
alley. It was Mrs. Winkslilii's boast that sinoo Mr.
Witikrliip's death, which bad happened thirteen
years ago, she had never Journejed out of f urnmi.l
strvet, except on tho ono occasion of h r venturing
as tar as the Koyal Coburg Theatre ut Lambeth in tho
pantomime season, when she had slipped down the
gal cry stairs aud sprained her auk io. Her constant
station was the threshold ot nor own houso, whero,
seated on an upturned coko-mcasnro, with a nose-bag
lull of chad' lor acushion,sho kept watch tiic livelong
day. The peculiar nature of hor business, or more pro-
Iicrly spcaKing, of her cus omers compelled it. Un
ess sle cauglu tho lellows when they returned homo
alter dis, osing of their stock, and insisted on their
"squaring up" before they went iudoois, sho was
sure to be a losor.
Tho djfJieuhies of hor business, however, allbrdod
no material hindrance 10 her enjoying borsoit m the
ways ot eating and drinking, in wet weather she
sal in the passage i butwhilo it remained lino over
head, neither break lust, dinner, nor tea weuld drive
her lrom the nosu-bav. Mie had no other lodger but
a niece a lanky, pock marked young woman, who
wore her hair much strained in a backward direc
tion, and theio secured in a great bunch. 1'no
1 rlgbtlul disease that had so seared her laco ha1 also
robbed tier of an eye. so that altogether she could
not be caihd handsome; bur, like her aunt, she was
a good hearted crea uro, and helped me to a nvul
many and many a time Hlie kept tne key ot the
bar.ow-?hed in iiog and Stile Yard, and undertook
the house-cleaning tor her aunt, and prepared her
meais.
lliey were meals! Since that memorable t-me it has
been my good loriune to partase of many dinners
that might lairly be eal ed excei.ent; but not one of
them ever came up to thoso Mrs. Winkship used to
partake ot. At breaklast or at tea sho was nothing
very great; bnt at dinner she was sp.enuid. Tho
coke-measure, being of tho hall busbol size, ras of a
convenient height for silting on bolore a bottom-up
appie-sieve. The apple sieve was the dinma-laole;
' and, certain as stroke of I o'clock, you might see
Mrs. w inkship shilt her coke measure from the door
way to under the parlor window, and hear her call
out, "Beady, Martha, wnen you aio!" and then
Martha would raise the parlor window, and arrange
on the winuowsill the salt and the. vinegar, and tho
pepper and the mustard ; tnen sho would bring out
the apple sieve, already spread witn a cloth as wtiite
as bran new calico; and then she would bustle back
into tbe parlor again, and hand the dinner out at the
. window to Mrs. Winkship.
It was always something with plenty of gravy in
it rich to look at, luscious, and smoking hot; but
tbe most wondeiiul feature ot Mrs. Winkship's din
ners was their smell. There are meats by nature
delicious smelling roast pork, for instance; but
and bow Martha managed it 1 could never, from
tbat day to this, imagine she seemed to possess the
f ewer of conferring an odor ol baked crackling on
lie tamest meats; to oonjuro out of them a fiagranee
tbat seemed to ory aloud with a voice that could be
beard lrom one end of tbe alloy to the other. Cer
tainly ; iancy may have had a great deal to do with
it; or that smelling leing our share, we made the
most of it i or it may possibly have happened that
Mrs. Winkship's dinner and its odor being alto
gether without any competition, its virtues appearod
more lorcibly. Whether eithor ot the above conjec
tures explains the tact I can't say ; I only know that
exactly as 1 have never seen such dinners, so have I
never smoll any such. It was a common remark
amongst us boys and girls, that it seemod to be
always Sunday with Mrs, Winkship. Alter dinner
she drank rum-and-water hot, invariably. In the
the depth ot winter, when the snow was on the
ground, and she sat on the coke measure wearing a
hairy cap with ear-laps, and wrapped in a coachman's
box coat, she would drink it; in tne summertime,
wl en the cobble-stones of the valley were hot to
naked leet, and the gutters too warm for a refresh
ing dabble in them, she drank it hot and strong as
ever.
Did we respeot Mrs. Winkship the less en account
of this weakness f Did wo despise her, and taunt
her, and make lun of her? We did not. How could
we, when we raw how jolly it made hor, and con
sidered what profitable weakness it was to us? We
used to letch it lor her, three-pen'orth at a time.
We used to lurk lu tbe shadow ot doorways, and
. peep lrom window-blinds, keeping a sharp eve on
her till the arrival of tbe moment for action the
moment whon she waddled back from tbe parlor
window to the doorway with her seat, and sat her
self down tin roon, with her fat arms contentedly
lolded on ber lap. We used to take it in turns, Tbe
way was to stroll fioui your lurking-place, and
saunter towards her in the most undesigned man
ner possible; end when you approached close
enough to address her innocently, and as tlotwh
tho thought bad that moment popped into your
htad, asking il sue happened to want anything
fetched. Her way, then, was to look up in an
astonished manner, and as though she thought you
had made a mistake takon her lor somebody else,
poss'b'y.
"Did yon speak to mo, hoy?"
"Yes'm. 1'ui going into Tunimel street to fetch
some tieacle, in a uiinuto, for inv mother: I thought
perhaps vou might want some tea, or somo hing m."
"Ko, tbanky, boy ; my tea I've got, aud my milk
will be here pioaciitiy. 1 don't think 1 stand in need
Of anything."
When It came to this, the way of the boy was to
thank her very oiviilv, and to look pertoctly satisfied,
and as though he well knew that since Mrs. Wink
ship was ail right In the matters ot tea and milk, she
could not by any earth ly possibility require anything
else II, on tht contrary, the boy acted diflerently
If he winked, or looked knowing merely, and eriuned
as much as to say, ' W hy, w hat's the use of carrying
on with all this jolly nonsense f You know what you
always have and what vou want; give me the half
pence aud say no more about it 1 " 1 say if he said,
or even looked antthing of this sort, ho would lave
bn sent about his business in a twinkling, and
scratched out ot the lady's good books for no end of
time; but If he managed the business neatly and
turned away promptly and respectfully when he had
ot Mrs. Vviukeliip'e answer, It was next to a cer
tainty that she would exclaim presently :
Mr. Bell's invention com iata of an alphabet
of thirty uiirns, by means of which, and their
various combinations, it Is alleged, he is able
to jepresent every sound of which the human
voice is capable. The system has already wou
the moat cordial approval of several 'distin
guished philologists. Marvellous and impossible
as auck a a j stem may eeem, it is only the truth
to say that Mr. Hell demonstrated not only its
possibility, but tbat he had invented an alpha
bet which could be used with considerable fa
cility. Tbe test was this: A number of gentle
tnen present repeated to Mr. Dell aentences and
nhr&ses lrom a great variety of tonerues from
the polished Arabic or Byriac, or Chinese, to
tho barbarous Hottentot ana other savage lan
. euapee, including several of our provincial
dialects. These Mr. Bell wrote down in his
alphabet, some of the sounds being auch as be
bad not heard be I ore, and his sun, who had
been in a room adjoining, w as brought in and
read the sounds which bad been written with
the most perlcet exactne, rendering correctly
the drawl or sr utter oi tue various local dlu
1 ects, and tbe scarcely appreciable rellueruents
in pronunciation of other languages. The test
was most varied and senrchintT, and lett tio
doubt on the minds of those present as to Mr.
Hell's Miccess. Various remarkablo cases of the
ease with which the system enabled the pro
nunciation cf a loreitni lntifrtinire to be tautrht
were also l elated. The letters ot his Alphabet
were not shown to the nudienee by Mr. Hell.
In addition to it me in teaching pronuncia
tion, the alphabet, in the opinion of the few who
have exnniined it, will be eminently suited for
teleprnphic purposes. It is a phonetic svstem
which the most dillerent peoples can mute use
of nr.d understand; and lor telegraphic wires
pnsfopg through several countries it seems to
solve the problem which Is found so troublesome
ou our Indo-European line. To the science of
comparative philoligv its services will prhaps
be most ftrikinc. It hns long been the despair
of philologists, to devise an alphabet which
would repiescnt the sounds of any and all lan
eufltres tor the purpose of comparison an alpha
bet which might become a common one for tra
vellers and missionaries exploring new regions
or learning new lnniages, as well as lor philo
,lot;lcal snvans. ThM, desideratum seems now
supplied, and if the alphabet can be generally
adopted. It provides the means of stereotyping
all the existing languages on the earth lor the
pmpoK's ot comparison and history.
INSKCT L1AVK8.
M. Vandal, Postmaster-General, has presented
tln'.lunlin d'Acclimntization with three specimens
ot the most extraordinary natural curiosities,
culled fly leaves or insect leaves. Thee singular
cieutures belong to the grasshopper tribe, and
bear an exact resemblance to the leaf of the
eajava tree, on w hich they feed, not only in
form, but Iii color. Certain parts of the insect
are of a rusty brown, which precisely coincides
with the tint o t the brunches of the gayava, and
even the claws or leet of the Insect are provided
with foliaeious pedicles which are of the same
lorm as the leaves ol the tree. A single living
specimen reached England some years ago. The
three now at the Jardin d'Acclimatization were
brought ftom the Seychelles Island by M. lier
theiln. who gave them to the Postmaster
Otncnil. JEFF. DAVIS.
Altnntlonmtnt of the Attempt to Kemovo
Jell. Jjavla on Writ of llabean tJorputi.
Forttu-ss Monroe, April 11. The rumor that
an nttciipt would be made at Richmond, under
the late proclamation of the Prvsi.lcpi, to eUcct
the removal to that city of JeiT. Dims on a writ
of habeas corpus, has proved correct. Among
his Iricnds there the subject was discussed, at
L'reat lencfth and in all its possible bearings,
when the matter was, dropped, froin very posi
tive assurance that they could do nothing iu the
ease. Jell'. Duvis being a prisoner of the United
States, in order to elloct bis removal in the way
conlenipluted it was found the writ of haDcas
corpus would be inoperative unless bintrlng the
approving signature ol Chief Justice Cha-e
It being settled that the Chief Justice would not
give the benefit of his signature to the proposed
writ, it was further settled to let him nlotie,
ami not give him the opportunity ol a relusal,
which might only complicate matters more. On
the other hand, bad a writ issued by any of the
judicial functionaries of this State' btc'n served
on Major-General Miles here for the surrender
ot Jell. Davis, he would most positively have
disregarded it. Whether tho friends "of Mr.
Davis, in the couri-e of their deliberative ses
sions, took pains to ascertain this tm.-t, I do not
know; but this much I do know, that such
would have been the course General Miles
woulu have taken iu the premises. Thus the
cae stands. Jell. Davis is still here, and bids
likely to remain until the powers that be, and
tho most exalted powers of the general Govern
ment, at that, ordain otherwise.
Viewing the situation as described above, I
understand now that the friends of Mr. Davis
most zealous iu accomplishing bis restoration to
liberty and among them it is understood tnat
the term ot imprisonment be has undergone,
piobably prolonged to a month more, will be
the extent of punishment meted out to him,
aud tnnt there need be no fears of his life or
banishment from the country have determined
to wait tbe publication by the President of a
general amnesty proclamation. It Is confidently
believed and asserted that such proclamation
will be speedily forthcoming, and that tbe name
of Jeff. Dii vis will head the liEt of those to be
benehted by it. It is even positively asserted
that the sentiments of the Cabinet have been
canvassed on the subject, and that the influence
of the niaiority will be given to accompiisn such.
end. While the fact is remembered that the
orders given once on a time by Jell". Davis to
ins lorecs in Tennessee to shoot Andrew John
son on sight, is not likely to have been forgot
ten by the latter, it is argued that tno Presi
dent's friendly feelings to the people of
the States lately in rebellion, and the
aux-iety to restore not only the old Union of
land ana Males, out the union ot hands
aud hearts as well, will induce President John
son to merge all personal feelings of bitterness
and hatred to his sole desire and conscientious
and self-sacriticing determination to achieve
such result. As to bis using his power to open
the prison doors of Jeff. Davis, aud let him go
lorth free again, there are those who hope for
it and those who do not. While many urge such
a step as not only one of expediency, but one of
nuty, ana in toiiowine out its alleged beneuctal
results upon the future of the country, portray
the grandest historical recond awaiting tho Pre
sident s own mapping out for himself, others
think and assert that treason should be punished,
and tbat only the lelon's doom should await
the head and lender of men who planted barrels
oi powuer unuer ijiooy x'riaou, attempted tue
burning of our cities, and perpetrated that
crowning act of infamy, the assassination of
President Lincoln. Jell". Davis is loud of
smoking. Let him put that In his pipe and

fully curling upward, let him hope and nrav
with what strensrth and fervor he may. A. iv.

Electrical Investigation has proved that tbe human
body acta on tbe pilnciple or the galvanic battery.
The brain, mucous and serous membranes, the skin,
tlsvucs, and flu'ds, constitute the negatlvo and positive
forces. Fvcry cctlon, whether meutal or physical, la
tbe result of these antagonistic forces. Dlgesiloa
respiration, circulation, secretion, and excretion are
due solely to Hcctrlcal Influence. There. Is a polar
action established throughout tho norvouj system which
connects wltli every pare of the body, establishing and
preserving a prtiser balance of the electrical element,
which constitutes health, and a disturbance of which,
causes dUcase. There are strictly but (ro conditions at
dlfease one of Inflammation, or positive) tbe other
weak, debilitated negative; and as Electricity containe
these two conditions In tne action of the positive and
negative currents, all we have to do is to neutralise
tie disease aud restore proper healthy action.
Wo do not wish to convey the Improsslon-that w
cure all diseases in all conditions. We cannot cure
consumption alter the lungs are all destrovedi yet we
do assert, and aro prepared to practically demonstrate,
that hundreds ot cases of almost eveiy form of cbronto
diseases, pronounced Incurable by the best medical
practitioners of the country, have been radically
ct'RED.someot them In an Incredibly short tltno, by
our Electrical treatment Its great superiority over
other praotice m the cure of disease is a'so attested In
the fact that, within the patt nvo years, over foubtkibt
thousand patients have beon treated at this oilloe.
suflcrlng from a' most evety form and condition
of disease common to humanity, and In nearly all cases
a benefit or porfect cure bas been effected. Fa sy , deaf
ness, blindness, rbcumutism. dyspepsia, cancer, and
all the old knotty disoases that are a physiol an's curse,
as it proves his Inability to eradicate, are by our scien
tific method comparatively easy of cure. Specimens of
tumors ol huye growth extractod by means of Elec
tricity alone, without pain, without the use of the
knlle, ligatures, or any other moans, may be seen at
our office by those Interested Iberctoro, with those
facts to prove our theory and treatment ot disease,
wc are willing tea undertake any of tbe following dis
eases, with every nope and prospoct of success, wit,
very many others not hero enumerated :

TO I A1H hh we can recommend tills treatment as one
of UNVAIiitD SUCCbMS. Almost Innumerable eases
have come under treatment at our office who can tesiuy
to ibis tact. Mrs. bhCK. rt'li'II has enure charge ot the
Ladles' 1 epuitment, nnd al delicacy will be used
towards those who entrust themselves to her care.
In female diseases, as mentioned in the above list,
with others not mentioned, she has had a laige expe
rience, and can confidently promise the most gratliy
Ing results.
TO TUE AFFLICTED The treatment Is mild and
gentle, producing no shock or unploasant sensation
whatever. Our professional Intercourse with the
atllictcd will ever be characterised by perioct candor aud
houetty, and those whose complaints are Incurable, or &
do not admit ot amelioration, will be frankly told so,
and not accepted for treatment. It matturs not whet
may be your complaint or how long you may have But
tered, or how much, or what course of treatment yon
may have been subjeoted to, or what disappointments
yon may have experienced, if the system is not worn
