The Living Animalcules in ,the Human
_
oody Caused by Peek.
As this disease (Trichina Spiralis) has be
come prevalent in Europe and causes some
alarm in this country, it is well to state its
cause, its effects . and its preventive.
Pork is a heavy, rich, greasy, indigestible
food cooked. and much more so in its raw
state. To overload the stomach with it, it
lies undigested so long that the animalcules
in it detach themselves, and assimilate with
other matter in the stomach, the liver be
comes inactive, the bile dries up, the blood
in the veins gets so thick that circulation
partially ceases, and venous blood becomes
of the same nature as diseased matter,
caused by the pork laying so long in the
stomach,that worms breed out of the blood.
This cannot occur 'only in very bilious,
constipated people. Worms will create in
the stoinach of many persons that overload
or give it more than it can do, and some
times in weak and delicate persons whose
digestion is feeble. It is in the nature of
animal matter to decay and become im
pregnated with worms as soon as It looses
its life-like circulation.
Where persons are of a bilious habit they
require Purgatives, and of that kind that
will , act on the liver. Keep a healthy flow
of bile and the stomach will form mucus,
and,perk Will digest as well as any other
food:- Keep.,up a free circulation of the
blood and warms cannot form.
In olden times when we had regular calomel
and jalap doctors, none of these new diseases
were ever heard of—for the first thing that
they - would do when a man got sick was to
thoroughly cleanse the stomach, but calo
mel would always have some bad effect, by
Ss not being properly carried out of the
ystem; so that it also has been a dread to
mankind; but, fortunately, a substitute has,
sprung up and while it is more effectual in
relieving the liver aad stomach of its impu
rities is as harmless 'as dough, and by their
proper use, pork can he eaten as any other
ibod,withontfear. This remedy is Schenck's
Mandrake Pills.

Among the stampeders to Sun river, many
horses with saddles on had come in without
riders, and the dead bodies of a good many
men had been found, and a large number
were at Clarkes Ranche, some twenty-five
miles beyond Helena, badly frOZen, and the
hlace was a perfect 'hospital. Many would

NEW PUBLICATIONS
"Snow Bound" is the title of Whittier's
new poem, just published by Ticknor &
Fields. It is a quiet and exceedingly beau
tiful idyl, telling the story of a New Eng
land farmhouse blocked up by a heavy
storm of snow. The poem evidently takes
its inspiration from some of Whittier's own
boyhood experiences, and the portraits ofthe
family group clustered around the blazing
hearth while all without is buried in its
white shroud are unmistakeable sketches
from life, "Snow-Bound" is destined to
take high rank in American poetry, and to
add new laurels to the crown that rests
upon the placid brows of „New - England's
Quaker bard. It is crowned with poetic
beauties which we cannot stop to cull. As
a single specimen, we know no more perfect
picture of a heavy snow-storm coming down
at night-fall, than is comprised in these few
lines :
"Unarmed by any sunset light
The gray day darkened into night,
A night made hoary with the swarm,
And whirl-dance of the blinding storm,
As zig-zag wavering to and fro
Crossed and re-crossed the winged snow,
And ere the early bed-time came
The white drift piled the window frame,
And through the glass the clothes-line posts
Looked in like tall and sheeted ghosts."
The volume is enriched with a fine steel
engraving of the author and a beautiful
title-page vignette. For sale by G. W.
Pitcher.
Harper & Brothers have published "The
War of the Rebellion," by H. S. Foote. Mr.
Foote calls his book "Scylla and Charybdis,"
and he seeks to steer carefully between the
North and South and to divide the respon
bilities of the war between the sections.
How far he succeeds the reader will decide
for himself. There is much interesting gos
sipping matter . in the volume, touching
most of the public men who have figured on
the stage of American politics during the
last thirty years. The book has more of the
tone of an extended campaign document
than of grave history and is not calculated
to produce any very powerful impression,
at least on the Northern mind. For sale by,
J. B. Lippincott 4.. Co.
"Spiritualism" is a little treatise by Rev.
W. McDonald, just published by Carlton dr,
Porter, New York, and for Sale by Perkin
pine & Higgins. It presents an interesting,
collection of facts which will go far to disa
buss many minds of the pernicious delu
sions of Spiritualism. The testimony
which it gives of those who have themselves
Aeen disciples of this ism is paiticolgrly

We are pleased to see exhibited in Herle's,
window a picture of great merit, by- Ed
mond D. Lewis. Mr. Lewis has selected'
Mount Washington for his subject and as his
genius lies in depicting atmospheric effects,
the charm', of his pencil has fall scope in the,
lovely sky, barred with the light clouds of
summer evening, and in the fairy mist
which bangs between earth and heaven,!
veiling the glory, of the mountain, and
crowning its majestic brow with an ever,
changing diridem.' To:most of our tourists
Mount Washington is a familiar friend, and
to such we feel assured thattbis picture w' '
give great pleasure. Herenature is brough
before us by the artistic wand, not a shado w,]
merely as in the photograph, but nature
herself in all her wild. capricious beauty.]
To do full justice to the subject requireserri
appreciation of the unobteasive and delicate
touches in which nature delights. Mr.i
Lewis' genius is equal to this; he knows]
where the blue shadows lie in the recesses of
the mountain, and where the sun touches:
the rocky summit and gives it life; he sees;
the beauty of the flowering ;shrub—as well,
as the sternness of the bold crag that braves ,
the winter's storm. In this, specimen of
his skill he gives us all that . we can ask
from art. '
The German Opera.
• A very large audience witnessed the per
formance of Mozart's Magic Flute last even
ing. Mlle. Naddi made her ddbut 'as the
Queen of. Night, and made so good an im
piession as to induce us to expect her to
become a decided favorite in more interest
ing operas.* But the Magic Flute is a
dreamy, tiresome opera, with a story as
senseless as a nursery rhyme, and with
music which .may interest antiquaries, but
is a dreadful bore to those accustomed to
the modern style. The artists deserve credit
for their efforts of last evening, but the
public will be quite content never again to
hear them or any others in this opera. This
evening Martha and an act of La Dame
Blanche will be played—a very attractive
bill.
LECTURE OF CARL SCHURZ.—CarI Schurz
delivered a lecture list evening before a
very large- audience on "The Problems of
the Day." He agreed fully with the Presi
dent that the Southern people had done as
well as could be expected because noloyalty
could be expected from a people who were
open in their declarations that they merely
stooped to conquer. Oar debt to the ne
groes was fully, as sacred as that to our
financial creditors. The one gave us their
money, and we promised to repay it ; the
other gave us their blood and their life, and
we promised them their liberty and ourpro
tection. We must now kcep our promises,and
it could be done only in two ways—one was
to give them this protection by means of a
large standing army at the South ; but this
would lead to centralization, and conse
quently be dangerous to our democratic
torm of government ; the other way was to
give them the means of protecting them
selves, and this could only be done by giv
ing them the ballot.. This and similar de
clarations of Gen. Schurz were received with
enthusiastic applause. Gens. Banks and
Howard 'were present, the latter of whom
&dared that he wished the whole American
people couldhave heard the address. Gen.
Schurz will leave to-morrow, for Detroit, to.

(run WHOLE CoIINTICY.
To one familiar with the power of the mil
itary of Canada it does seem reasonable
that Sweeny could not accomplish much
here now; but New Brurfswick can be
reached without crossing rivers and lakes,
and with the small force there and the diffi
culty of obtaining troops in the winter and
spring from Canada and England she would
be unable to offer much resistance. Theie
was a time when Sweeny might have taken
Canada, but he allowed it to slip by. That
he and his Congress and Senate are working
in sober earnest I have no doubt; but Ca
nada is no longer accessible. It is impreg
nable to any force the Fenianscan raise. If
Sweeny proposes to make a lodgment in a
British colony on this continent it must be
by the way of the Maine frontier. No longer
can it be done by the St Lawrende; where
the ice is already breaking up, and where
thirty or forty thousand men can be thrown
against him in a few hours.
Last summer, you will recollect, an alder
man of Hamilton, C. W. ran away to avoid
trial for complicity with'burglars and pick
pockets. It came out then that Sergeant
Major McDowell, of the Toronto policeforce,
was in some way an accomplice with the
dishonest alderman and
_Certain Hamilton
policemen, who were dismissed from office.
McDowell, however, escaped punishment,
the evidence not beiziF nnfficient to convict
him. Notwithstanding the breaking up of
the Hamilton gang burglaries and bank rob
beries were numerous. Among other hauls
made was one at the Gore Bank, Galt, which
was robbed by a fellow styled "Bristol
Bill" and his confederates. This gang was
also broken up, and some of the operators
arrested. Bat the most astounding part is
yet to come. A prisoner in the Toronto jail
on Saturday expressed a • desire to make
an affidavit. An attorney named Droit
was called, and an affidavit made im
plicating in the Galt Bank robbery, besides
Bristol Bill, Dr. Davis and Gustaf; the
latter of 'Whom was last fall accused of hav
ing poisoned and attempted to rob a Mr.
MeKinnon, in Toronto. Gustaf:l* then fled
to New York, where he has relatives, and
was surrendered to the Canadian authori
ties under the extradition treaty. Besides
Davis and Gustaff, who it is alleged made
accomplices of Bristol Bill, it appears Mc-
Dowell and other Toronto police, for a con
sideration. keptahe burglars posted upon
efforts made for their arrest, and McDowell,
it is claimed, secreted Bristol Bill for weeks
in his house in this city. It is also charged
in the affidavit that several city detectives
and two aldermen, one of whom is in the
habit of presiding • sometimes as police
magistrate, were in the pay of the bank rob
bers, and received large money considera
tions as their share.
All the contents of the affidavit have not
leaked out yet—the local papers only con
nect the police with the transaction—but
enough is kncwn to establish the belief that
respectable ex-aldermen of the city have
prostituted their office to the acquisition of
lucre.
TORONTO, Feb. 27;18664—1t is further re
polled that one ex-alderman implicated in
the Galt affair has cleared for the United
States, and that another is under arrest.
Bank robberies continue. A party of
burglars numbbring twenty-five have at
tacked Lennoxville, Eastern township, and
robbed the banks.
[From the Toronto Globe, Feb. 27.]
Our article of yesterday morning was
enough to show the public that something
of a startling character had taken place in
this city, and they will not, - therefore,
wonder that other facts of an equally start
ling nature are about to be unveiled. It is
needless to state that Sergeant-Major
McDowell, formerly an officer of the city
police department, was the party referred
CO as secretly conniving with Bristol - BilL
On Saturday night, •at eleven o'clock,
McDowell received information that Capt.
Nicoll, of Hamilton, intended to arrest him
before twenty-four hours, and it was a fact
currently known-in this city on Saturday
afternoon that McDowell was deeply im
plicated with Bristol Bill. Yesterday,when
Captain. Nicoll appeared with a warrant for
the arrest of MoDowall, that individual had,
of course, diqappeared, having left the city
during.Sunddy night or 'Monday morning.
Mack was found at his own residence, and
iinmediately allowed himself to be taken
into custody. He is arrested on a charge of
aiding and abetting in the Gore Bank bur
glary, inasmuch as he knew the locale of
Bristol Bill when he was secreted in Mc-
Dowell's house, and was present at an oyster
supper given by Jim Brown at Bristol Bill's
house on Bishop street, in company with
Brown, Robinson and a young lad named
Mulvaney, who is also in custody. It is
said that while at suppet Bristol Bill tapped
at, an outside window and laughingly said,
“Boys, are you eating at my expeiaseV---tre

Bank burglary. Mack declared that he
never heard any such words used, and that
he never had the slighest knowledge of

[Correspondence of the New York Herald.]
Toitor4To, Feb. 26.—Canada is on the eve
of another Fenian scare, that promises to
be more widespread than any of those that
have taken place this winter. It is well
known that the Catholic Bishop of Toronto
has expressed his willingness that the Hi
bernian Society, which heretofore he has
denounced, shall make the usual display
on St. Patrick's day, and it is believed that
all over the province the Irish. lement will
exhibit open hostility on that day. Indeed,
some assert, that this is the day fixed upon
for General Sweeny to strike—that his plan
of attack is to send small raiding parties
against Canada, on the 17th of March, to
cause a diversion, and attract the attention
of the British troops in Canada, while with
his main force he invades New Brunswick
and effects a lodgment on the sea coast.
The government officials here profess to
believe that the Canadian Irish on St. Pat
rick's day will make a demonstration of a
threatening nature, as a cover for raids on
the border, and that Sweeny will make the
lower province his real point of attack. As
a protective measure, the loyal Orangemen
of the country are arming to assist the
government, and a lively time may be
looked for.

We hope the following account of the ser
enade to the President on the 22d ult., is
exaggerated. It is written by a Washing
ton correspondent of the Tribune;
Surely, now, Washington is Babylon.
You have read the accounts of Mr. John
son's speech—but no account has yet told
you half the truth. I happened to be in the
crowd that yelled frantically. over Andy.
My curiosity induced me to join it, as I saw
it moving up from Grover's theatre. It is
not more than five minutes' walk from
Grover's to the White Home, and during
that time the shouting was wild. There
were Mosby's men, and Washington rebels
who had been in Virginia and Mary
land regiments during the ' war,
and • who had returned from hog and
hominy, and long marches with Lee, to
get fine places from the Departments. Then
we had the crusty, mouldy, mossy, curious
ace of Washington office-holders,who have
been in office under every Administration
since they were old enough to ski" a pay
roll. What jolly rats they are ! What noses
they have! How they divine the precise
moment when any political ship is abekut to
sink. *Go against the President! Not
they—as they pushed their jolly way, with
the jolly crowd that were bent on a speech
from the jolly Andy. Mixed in with all,
were representatives of that dreadful
crowd of roughs who used to make Wash
ington a most unenviable place, and made
special policemen il'ecssary on every elec
tion day.
When they passed in front of the State
Department and swarmed into the Presi
dent's carriage-paths, and crowded around
the White House, the scene was strange and
amusing though to me very sad. "Well,"
said a friend who strolled with me. "Lee
has taken Washington after all." I ventured
the suggestion that his lass visit to the city
was to arrange the movement. Then to
Lear the comments. "Its in the blood, by
God," said one sallow , gray-back, "when a
man is once for the South, he's always for
the South, and he can't go back on his
mother no how. If Johnson is a poor white,
be is true to his State." Another philoso
pher, who pronounced South, "Scotty"
and said, "look ya," for look here, ven
tured to say that Booth knew what
he was about, and had not killed
Lincoln for nothing. A still
meaner crowd were seizing on . the
negroes, cuffing them, kicking their shins,
aed bestowing upon them all manner of
opprobrium. "Say, Sambo," aid one as he
crushed the hat of a poor African over his
face, "is your name Sumner; do you come
from Massachusetts?" The execrations
heaped on Congress were frightful. "I wish
to Heaven," mused one of the crowd, who
seemed to be browned by a Southern sun.
and who had a Carolina - patois, "If Andy
Johnson was a soldier,-and would call for
volunteers; I guess he would get enough to
drive these Congressmen off .Capitol
"Napoleon did it„" said one. •' Yes. and
Cromwell," repliea another. "And if John-'
son," rejoined the first, "were to do it, and
hang the Senate on the trees around the
Chamber, he would be immortal." "That'
be would," said twenty; and the twenty
proclaimed their purpose to volunteer.
Around the President, as he spoke, were
a rare crowd of carrion birds.- The fancy
seizedme as I stood,' in the crowd, and
beard the howling ands teeth-gnashing of
His'Excellency, while they grinned- and
shrieked, that those men were carrion
birds indeed, hovering over their victim,
and only waiting for his fall that they might
devour him. Oh, Andrew Johnson of 1860,
Andrew Johnson of the Senate Chamber,
Andrew Johnson of the dark December
days when Southern Unionism was chaos,
and thou alone the bright star that kept
alive a nation's hope, be thyself again, be a
rpan once More ! Look on that gang of
devils around you! They offer you the
kingdoms of the earth if you will- only wor
ship them, if you will but bow down and
call them master. Beware! America has
bad u Judas; let it not have a. Lucifer.
Another Address. by President Johnson
Yesterday afterdoon a committee of gen
tlemen from Philadelphia, under the aus
pices of the James Page Library Company,
waited upon President Johnson to present
there-solutions of a meeting held on the 22d
of February, approving the restoration po
licy of the Administration and the present
position occupied by the President. The
committee consisted.of John A. Marshall,
T. H. Hill, John A. Clark; J. P. Robinett,
M. Heller, E. S. Eyre, J. F. N. Snider, E.
Fitzgerald and Dr. Joseph R. Coad.
Mr. Marshall said the meeting which
passed the resolutions was without distinc
tion of party, and in the course of his
speech remarked, "We will stand by you,
then, rather as conservative citizens than as
partisans. We stand by you as Pennsylva
nians, as Pennsylvanians always stood by
Andrew Jackson, never losijeg faith in his
honesty of purpose to do what was right
and his power to do it, and never to submit
to what was wrong. and his ability to pre
vent it."
The President responded as follows: I beg
leave simply to thank you for the kindness
you have shown towards me, and the en
couragement you have given me by your
approbation of my public policy, as it has
been presented to the consideration of the
country. I can only say that I trust your
confidence has not been misplaced, and I
can but point you to•my past course s and to
my public promulgation of the principles
by which I am guided, as an evidence of
what my future course will be. It now be
hooves every man to apply himself dili
gently to the task of understanding the real
condition of the country, and understand
ing it, to apply the true remedy for healing
all evils by a faithful observance and en
forcement of the Constitution, and the laws
made in pursuance thereof.
It has been our object to find a healing
plaster, co-extensive with the wounds that
are inflicted on the body politic, the nation.
He
thought we had found it, and still
thinking so, we shall pursue and persist in
our policy until the great result is accom
plished, or it shall be defeated by a power
over which we have no control. I thank
you, gentlemen, for the approbation and
encouragement you have extended to me on
this occasion, and I repeat that I hope atid
trust yobs confidence has not been mis-•
placed.
The various members of the committee
were then : introducedto the President, and
retired Mitch pleased with their interview:'
GEN. STEPHEN'ELLIOTT, Jr. of the rebel,

stubborn defender of Fort Sumter. He had
recently accepted the appointment of Agent
of Transportation oh the Augusta branch of
the South Carolina railroad, . and has taken
up his' residence at Aiken.
