I entered it. It wuz the eapltle, and boldly 1 es

expression lay skorn I never saw outside uv

to ask herself whether she wantid his dortor to
marry a white man ? "Ef we let em vote we

Howse adjourned.
The populace got hold uv the news, and the
wildest joy prevailed. One wagon was rigged
up, into wich wuz twenty-four black, girls with a
banner over 'em, "Fathers pertect us from white
ekality," and another similarly loaded carried a
banner onto which was written, "Black huebands
or none! The purity of our Race!" Node's;

and lively they made it. I was caught and rolled
in the gutters, amid shouts uv "Kill the white--

me,and tore my clothes off. "To the white often

owed any lite. They beleoved in wholesale Mille

asylum where the orfuns uv the few despised

The orfuns wnss roasted and beaten to death, the'

The Erie Railroad Directors, who are stilt
quartered at Taylor's Hotel, woro visited by a
number of their friends yesterday, and the situa
tion during the day was pretty thoroughly dis
cus,ed. some information received at a late hour
List evening, caused considerable rejoicing and
merriment, but all interested were remarkably
reticent as to the cause. It leaked out at last
that Mr. Jay Gould, one of the principal direc
tors, bad de , •amped for parts unknown, taking
with him a black traveling bag, which, it is ru
mored, contained between two and three mil
lions of dollars, being part of the funds over
which Mr. Osgood was appointed . Receiver
by Judge Barnard. It is surmised by those
who are supposed to be well informed in relation
to the affairs of the management, that Mr. Gould
is by this time either at Toledo or Akron,
where
he is to let out the remaining contracts for the
building of the broad gauge connection between
the Atlantic and Great Western and Michigan
couthern Railroads. The money supposed to be
in his possession ie to be need to make the ad
vance payments on existing contracts.
The bill which passed thu New Jersey Legisla
tnre on the 19th itibL. became a low on Saturday
night without Gov. Ward's eigiatere, the time
allowed him to return it to the ionielatare
having expired then. The following is 11 copy of
this law :

It is reported that on Friday night the onion of
Messrs. Rapello & Spencer, the principal attor
neys of the Vanderbilt side of the Erie litigation,
was burglariously entered. One or two articles
of petty value were taken away, several desks
were rut:ringed, and a bundle marked, "Private,
Erie," had plainly been searched through, though
1:o paper is reported abstracted.
lie Origin of the Wilmot Provitin-A
curious Story.
A correspondent who styles himself "Bar ,
feign," referring to a report which has appeared
m some of the newspapers that Judge Brinker
hoff drew up the Wilmot proviso and had it pre
!,.ented by the late Judge Wilmot in Congress,
:;ices the following account of the matter, which,
is true, destrves to be authenticated by some real
came. We regard the story as improbable:
"The history of that provisqls this : Ia 1817
a political club met at the corner of Eighth
• met and Broidway, to partake of a weekly
dinner. The club was composed . of Barn
l,urners—democrate opposed to the extension of
t•lavery.
"At the dinner referred to Mr. Howe, a west
ern member of Congress, was present. His pur
pose in visiting New York was to take counsel
,vith the friends of freedom how to kond off the
pro-slavery democrats. Among the members of
the club present were John Van Buren, Samuel
J. Tilden, John A. Kennedy, Isaac V. Fowler,
Andrew H. Green, and other well known freesoil
democrats.
"During the consultation John Van Buren said
Chat the protest against the extension of slavery
Introduced into Congress was not worded right.
le suggested that the exact words of Jefferson in
the famous ordinance of 'B3 and 'B7 should be
used. This was agreed to.
" Mr. Howe stated that it would be difficult to
introduce the proviso, as the Speaker would not
give the floor to any one friendly to freedom.
Mr. Tilden, as the chief organizer of the move
ment about to be made, proposed that a strata
gem should be played. It was agreed that each
man composing the little biody of sixteen or
eighteen Preesollers in Congress should have
a copy of the proviso in his pooket. Bach
should spring to the floor at the first chance, and
shout, 'Mr. Speaker.' It was thought that one of
them would be recognized. Mr. Tilden, with
other members of the club, went to Washington
to aid in carrying out the plan. At a time agreed
upon; the Spartan band, each with the proviso
in his hand, sprang to the floor and in concert
shouted, `Mr. Speaker!' The Speaker was be
wildered. He could not ignore the whole crowd.
He selected Judge Wilmot as the most moderate
of theparty, and so the Wilmot Proviso passed
Into history.
"It is quite probable that a draft of the proviso
in the hand of Judge Brinkerhoff is preserved
among his papers; brit the original draft, if it ex
ist at all, will be found among the papers of John
Van Buren."
—Victor Emmanuel didn't eat anything the
other day when Farragnt took antler with him.
=lt is noteworthy that Mr. Disraeli, the new
British tory premier, was inflexibly neutral on the
American question dying the war. While Mr.
Gladstone, the liberal loader, was declaring that
"Jefferson Davis had outdo a nation," and that'
"no may anticipate with certainty the success of
the Bontirer4 States," Disraeli was discouraging_
every tendency to take sides against the North.

OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.
Dr. Schenok's Familiar Talk to his
Patient..
(From the N. Y. Sun.ldaroh 26th.1
{Aa these plain, informal talks of Dr. - Bchenek
to his patients contain ranch which may be of in
a rest to all similarly afflicted, it has been thought
best to report them occasionally, in order to
' place the Doctor's views before our readers. They
take place at his rooms, at 32 Bond street. Ile
conies on every Tuesday from Philadelphia, and
given advice gratis.
In what I shall say to you to-day I intend to
use the plainest words I can find, so that you can
all understand my meaning. I shall not use the
technical terms of medicine, nor indulge in any
theories or speculations.
By my remedies I claim, under God, to be able
to cure Consumption. A stranger might nstarally
and properly mks "How does it happen that yon
can truly pretend to know more about this terri
ble disease than all the acute and educated minds
which have carefully made it a study for several
hundred years?"
Title would be a fair question, and shall have a
fair answer. Ido not claim to know more than
the faculty do}. about the causes, nature and his
tory of Consumption. I suppose that my views
on these points would bo bound to Agree with
those of most educated and intelligent physicians.
We should agree that while the
_final cause is ob
scure ; in other words, while it is not possible to
say why Consumption selects this pr that person
as a victim, yet the predisposing causes are :
Ist. Inheritance. Consumption is hereditary in
a wonderful degree. One parent very often en
tails it upon the oilispring, and both still more fre
quently, so that whole families are often swept
away, and hand the predisposition down to their
children.
2d, Cold. By this we do not mean those changes
of weather which often produce inflammation,
but long-continued and steady cold, so that a
condition of debility is produced. Indeed, what
ever tends to produce long-eontinued debility
will, in some persons, generate Pulmonary Con
sumption. Prominent among these influences
arc insufficient diet, living in an unwholesome
air, sedentary habits, grief, anxiety, disappoint
ment, whether of the affections or in business,
and all other depressing emotions—the abuse of
i
mercury and the nfuence of weakening diastases.
I also agree with the best doctors as to the man
ner in which the lungs become affected. Pulmo
nary Consumption is also called Tebereuloye Con
eumption,by which we mean a disease of the lungs
caused by tubercles. A tubercle is a small, roundish
body, which is deposited in the substance of the
lungs by the blood. This is the beginning and
first set of the disease. Many of these are often
deposited at once. Each one undergoes several
changes, which I will not now explain to you,
and after producing Inflammation of the parts of
the lungs nextto it, ends iu ulceration, opens a
passage into the bronchial tubes, and passes out
at the month by spitting. The place where the
tubercle grew and ripened now becomes a ca
vity, and where there are a great many tubercles,
of course they make a great many of these little
cavities, wrath gradually unite and leave great
boles in theAungs. Unless a stop can be put to
this process, it will go on until the substance of
the lungs is consumed and death ensues.
Of course I agree with the faculty upon the
symptoms and course of the disease; the short,
dry, hacking sough, so slight at first, but gra
dually increasing; then shortness of breath, a
quickening pulse, then feverish sensations, flush
ing of the cheeks and heat in the palms of the
bends and soles of the feet, the slight but
growing emaciation, with feeble appetite,
bemiarrtiages, increasing cough, disturbed sleep,
fevered tongue, then . loes• of appetite, taking to
the bed, then expectoration of softened tubercle
in the amp° Of small lettethe of yellowish, cheesy,
or curdy matter, hectic fever, brilliant eye, chilli,
nights sweats, sharp pains in' ther eider, increas
ing emaciation and debility, disordered stomach
and - bowels, diarrhma, nausea, swollen extremi
ties, hollow cheeks, sunken eyes, weakness. so
great that expectoration is impossible; then
death, bringing welcome relief from the tortures
of this horrid monster.
Now, as I have said, I mainly agree with the
medical faculty on these points. But when we
come to the treatment of the disease I differ from
it totally. The doctors believe Pulmonary Con
sumption cannot be cured. Therefore they do not
try to do any thing more than soothe the patient's
path to the grave, and seem quite reckless of the
medicines they give, so that the patient is kept
conyortable and easy, even if his life is shortened.
As soon as tubercles begin to appear in the lungs
of a patient, it is a common prectice wits many
leading physicians to begin dosing with whisky,
in increasing quantities, until the ravages of
excessive dram-drinking are added to the
ravages of the disease. Or they send pa
tients away from home on distant voyages or
to Minnesota or Florida—any thing or anywhere so
that they may die easy. For they do not, pretend
to cure, and they have no remedies which will do
so. Now I say not only that the diseases of the
lungs can be cured, but that my medicines do
cure them. The proof that by their use thou•
unais of Consumptives hare been and are num being
urea by them. The whole science of medicine is
based on experiments. We cannot by any pro
es, of reasoning decide that any particular medi
cine will help or cure any particular disease.
How was it found that Quinine will cure Chills
and Fevers ? Why, by tiying one thing after
another until experience demonstrated that it
wss a specific for that disease. In just that way
I came to a knowledge of remedies that arc spe
cifies for diseases of the lungs.
Pulmonary Consumption is hereditary in my
family. My father, mother, brothers, and sisters
all died of it. I had reached almost the last
stage of the same downward road, when I was
providentially led to experiment with my now
tannins remedies—bfandrake Pills, Seaweed
Tonic, and Pulmonie Syrup. As the result, you
ree me before you to-day in perfect health, and
weighing over two hundred pounds.
What cured me has cured thousands all over
the country. Now these results are not acciden
tal. There is no such thing as an accident in na
ture. My remedies cure because my theory of
Consumption is the correct one, and because
these remedies accomplish what I desire to have
accomplished by toy treatment. I will try and
make this plain to you. iffhatever may be the
cause, the origin of Pulmonary Consumption is
in the blood. Whenever, from any of the predis
posing causes which I have just now mentioned,
the blood becomes degenerated, it begins to
make tuberculous deposits in the substance of
the lungs. This must be stopped, or death will
surely follow. It will not be enough to get rid of,
the tubercles already deposited, and heal up the
sores already made, but something must be done
to stop further deposits. What shall that be?
The regular faculty say, nothing can be done.
I say purify, enrich and tone up the blood until
it becomes so healthy as no longer to snake
tubercles. Can this be done? Yes. How? By
the easiest and most natural way In the world.
Take a man such as I see many before me to-day.
He shows to the experienced eye, by many in
fallible elgns,that Consumption has sot in. He is
feeble and without appetite. Now see what I in
tend to do.
First, I propose to cleanse his stomach and bowls
of their dead, slimy, clogoing matter. This I shall
ao with my Mandrake Pills, which are the best
cathartic -Pillasin _the-world. They- -contain
calomel or other minerals, only vegetable matter.
They evacuate the atonsebh and bowels gently
but thoroughly, and do not weaken or gripe.
They act like magic on the liver, rousing it out
of its dull torpid state, and promoting a fall,
free flow of healthy bile, without which there can
be no perfect digestion. Now that the stomach
and bowels are cleansed and ready—what next?
Create an appetite. This I do by my ;
Seaweed Tonic. The effect of this medicine is
wonderful. Unlike a temporary stimulant,
which by reaction lets the organs- affected sink
lower than - before, this not only tones up the,
stomttoh, but keeps it toned up, The natural
craving for food returns in all its 'theca; so, that •
we have now a stomach hangs* for food,: ;and - =s
digestive apparatus ready:to Mahe Mew, vdthlt.
What next? You can, itnretteg,ype,.: avower
thatquestlon. Pet info Mar Iningrm,itestgiC4,o6:
abrindant supply of various and nutritious food to
Ge cotiret ted by the strange chemistry of digestion
into rich red blood. 'ibis will stimulate the
heart into stronger action, and it will pump a ful
ler current out through the arteries; healthy
blood will take the place of the thin, blue, flat
tened fluid In the veins, and soon a circu
lation will be established which will flow
through the lungs without making any
unhealthy deposits; strength and flesh will in
cressc, and the bad symptoms steadily di
minish. At the same time use my Pulmonic
Syrup, as you know I lay great stress on this in
curing consumption. People die of consump
tion because they become so feeble that they can
not throw off the dead matter, which accumu
lates in the lungs, until they are so stuffed and
suffocated that breathing can no longer go on.
My Pulmonic Syrup is the beat expectorant
known, it blends with the food, and through the
blood goes directly to the lungs; attacks and
loosens up the yellow,foul, rotten staff, left there
by the ripened tubercles, and strengthe,ns and
stimulates the bronchial tubes Wand coatinsi "of
the air-passages, until they get strong enough to
lift it out and expel It by spitting. Then the
lungs get over their soreness and have a chance
to rest and heal.
So you see that I have not only shown that my
medicines ao actually cure consumption by ex
periment, bat it also seems plain that they, or
something like them, would, from the nature of
the case, do so.
I wish I had the time to explain to you more
fully how they operate through all the different
stages of the disease, and I wish you could follow
me while I explained to you the wonderful
mechanism of the human body. But I must
stop. I sum it all up in this : Good food makes
good blood, good blood makes health, and my
medicines—Mandrake Pills, Seaweed Tonic, and
Pulmonle Syrup—used according to directions,
enable this to be done.
I see you here looking at me anxiously; I pity
you from the bottom el my heart, and, wish to
help yon. Perhaps many of you have only some
slight disorder which resembles Consumption in
some of its symptoms, but is not so. Thati can
determine with my Respirometer, which enables
me to learn just in what condition the lungs are.
For this examination I make a cbarge of $5. I
am glad to see that you follow my advice about
the necessity of avoiding exposure to cold and
damp. You know lam opposed to any patient
of mine going out into raw air with tender, sore
lungs. Air that may seem only fresh to sound
lungs, is raw and harsh to the lungs of a con
sumptive. Keep your rooms, and breathe a dry,
warm air, and only venture out in the very pleas
antest weather. (hope to find you have im
proved when I see you again. J. 11. B.

MRS. SIZIRELR'S LAST READING.—Mrs. Kemble
bad Concert Hall packed on Saturday afternoon
to hear "Hamlet," the concluding play in the
second course of fteadings. We regret. to ear
that Mrs. Kemble was kept standing, though only
for a couple of minutes, bye numba of heedless
people who were still poking about the aisles
when she entered punctually at three o'clock.
There is no excuse for such behavior. If people
will not be civil enough to accede to the request
to be seated in time, they should at least nave
sufficient sense of propnety to take back seats
until the intermission. Mrs. Kemble's Philadel
phia audiences have been very considerate, as we
predicted they would be, and there has never
been an interruption after a Reading has com
menced. But there were, on Saturday,
just enough people fifteen minutes behind time
to delay and annoy both Mrs. Kemble and her
impatient audience for a few minutes, and we
greatly regretted even this degree of departure
from the good manners of Philadelphia.
Mrs. Kemble's "Ilamlet" was a splendid per
sonadon. In bringing theplay down to each a
rhape as to centralize the character of Hamlet,
many grand and beautiful passages have beat
omitted. Among these is the third scene in Act
I, between Laertes, Ophelia and Polonius, and
the whole of the description of Ophelia's mad
ness. But the length of the play demands this
wholesale abridgment, and it has been so done as
to leave the character of Hamlet untouched. This
character was sustained with great power by
Mrs. Kemble. In his interview with the ghost
and in the terrible scene with his mother,
the Hamlet of Mrs. Kemble is Indeed great. His
famous instructions to the players were given
with an expression that was keenly personal, and
very effective. The final scene was eripted with
prodigious power, culminating with a grand
climax in Hamlet's fi erce "Follow ray mother!"
There was little applause -on Saturday after
noon. The audience was evidently under the
spell of the reality of the characters and scones
before them, and if they fulled to applaud the
actor, it was because they forgot that it was
acting.
Mrs. Kemble concludes her present engage
ment with another week's reading in Philadel
phia, during the lust week of May, when she will
read "Cymbeline," "As Yon Like It," her own
adaptation of Schiller's "Mario Stuart," and a
selection of miscellaneous poetry.
