BIOGRAPHY 01" DOCTOR HARVEY
EURDELL.
Tr. Harvey Burdell is now a historical
character, ami if there is u mural in his life
or death, it is sullicicnlly pointed to lnv
home the barb of conviction without uiiy
comment from us. We therefore merely give
the following well antheiiticuted and tiit too
notorious facts in his history und character.
The lute Dr. Harvey liunicll was bom in
llerkiinercounty, in or near Herkimer village,
New Yolk, in lll. His father died In line
ie knew Into : while he was yet a child his
mother moved to Sackelis Ha b.ir, New
York. With her he resided till hu was
thirteen years old. His mother then tn riled
him into llic street, ami lorOade him ever to
return to the house. Tho boy thus turned
forth upon the world at so early an uge, IV.-1 1
the thi'ub of ambition, and was determined,
according to his own words to rise, to become
great, to gain gold. Without u profession,
education, or means, he looked around him to
see whut course he sshoind take to ucliievo
his (lesireil success. The press lu ld out tho
tempting bait, und consequently he went to a
neighboring country town und engaged him
self us a compositor. He remained there for
some yeari, but before his seventeenth year
we lind him studying dentistry "in his bro
ther John's office, which was then located on
the corner of Chambers street und Broadway,
where Stewart's store now stands ; he wits of
studious habits, and made cood use of his
time. He went to Philadelphia when about
twenty-one years old, und pursued a reirular
course of study in the Philadelphia Medical
LOiiege. lie partially supported himself
during his studies by tho practice of Dentist
ry, ana was partially maintained by his bro
ther, John Burdell. of this city. Having
graduated in the college at Philadelphia, he
returned to this city and entered his brother's
office, learning and practicing dentistry during
tne uay, unu practicing medicine at night.
lie expressed bur.seil ready to do anvtbini;
or practice any profession to muke money.
John Burdell soon after marrying, Harvey
lived in the bouse with bun as a member of
his family.
Harvey liurdell. after boint? in his hrnthnr'a
office ashoit time, opened an office for him
self. He was a man of strong feelings and
passions j he frequently quarreled with his
brother ; was very penurious in ins transac
lions, and economical in his dress and babits
itu these traits strongly marked, he began
to manifest a very licentious and loose char
acter. At lust he had a quarrel with bis
brother, during which they hud a severe
fight, John alleging that Harvey was too
intimate with his wife. Previous to this
there was a quarrel between Mr. and Mrs.
John Burdell, the latter applying to the pro
per authorities for a divorce.
Uurvey took an active part in this quarrel
in favor of Mrs. John Burdell, und ugainst
his brother. Mrs. Burdell succeeded in ob
taining a partial divorce from her husband ;
they were separated, alimony was given to
her, but she was not permitted to marry
again. While Harvey Burdell was pursuing
this course in relation to Mrs. John Burdell
ho succeeded in getting his brother to make
over all bis prQjiert to him by - mortgage,
at tlin same time returning no equivalent for
it, and representing to bis brother John that
the property would be safe in his bands ; that
thereby Mrs. Burdell, wbo had a suit against
him and another perty who bad an attocb
mDt against bim woaldj be prevented from
getting his (John's) property. John having
oeen divorced Iroln bis Wile, niutle up with
Hurvey, nod jeined bim in business at 802
UroaJway. '
This urrangrment Is represented to hav
been made by Harvey forlhe purpose of get
ting John's trade nt his office. Ilnwevet thin
may be, it is certain that they l.ad not been
long together before they qunireled; even
before thnt, Harvey would' not allow John to
put his sign np npon the office in which they
were both associated in doing business, so
John put up his "shingle" on a carriage shed
which stood right by the side of the ofJice.
John Burdell then attempted to get from
Hurvey the mortgage of his (John's) proper.
ty which Iitf had made over to him for safe
keeping, but Harvey refused to give it np, or
to givo any equivalent or return for it. This
occasioned another auarrel between thptn.
John succeeded in getting some of his' things
away irom lus brother Hurvey, und also
receiving means from his brother William,
went up to Union Place, ut tho corner of
Fourteenth street und Union fSauure. nnd
opened nn office there, which he occupied,
doing a pood business, until his death in 1 8;"if).
During bis last illness, und iust before his
death. Harvey Burdell got out nn attachment
against nun, hy means of tho mortcacts
which he held, and with it and a sliorid went
into Johns room und took possession of
every thing he had, even the furniture of his I w,llll! in Broadway, were flisrepulublo charac
deatli.clinmher, to the verv feather-bed from ! ter8 am' ,m,t since then lid he respectnble
under kis brother, leaving him to die on a sofa, j l''"l,lu ,v'10 '""' folio to bim were allured by
narvey Kurdell frequently told of this deed
among his acquaintances. The night before
John died. Harvey- w rote a very peculiar will,
1 siened ! ihiR will iiuhIh Ihu-vov
the sole executor of his brother's estute. anil
specilied that the property was to go to pay
for debts. After his brother's death. Harvey
wrote to Mrs. John Burdell. then at thu
South, informing her of her husband's de
cease, and requesting her to come to New
xorn. blie Old so. but has never received a
cent of money from the estate of her deceas
ed husband.
When Dr. Harvey Burdell lind been seven
years at 3C2 Broadway, he purchased and
moved into the house No. 31 Bond street ; he
located himself there in May, 18;').1. The
testimony of the dentists ho hud connection
with liim, and persons who knew Harvey
Burdell, is that ho was a mercenary, selfish
man, with strong passions; he was easily
excited, but was not a man who would be
likely to attack another j he would cool down
if a person spoke sharply with him. He
quarreled with everybody with whom he came
in contact ; he quarreled with his partners,
he quarreled with all his relatives, und had
lawsuits with most of them At the time of
bis death those of them living iu the city
were not on speaking terms with him. Hon
esty was by no means n characteristic of his
dealings, und his moral character was far
from being above reproach. His reputation
among good men was bad very bud. He
was very penurious. When he h.-d n house
in Broadway, and part of the time while In
has been iu Bond street, he rented out the
house, keeping one room in it, in which he
practised dentistry, und where he wonldj le o
"-"f,,-?"--"-K h-"IftHit ilTto'a party, or
on a pleasure excursion, he would always
bear his part freely wus then sociable com
panionable, and agreeable, lie had conside
rable talents, uml spent most of. his time in
reading, the pursuits of his professions, ami
money getting. He has been a very licen
tious man, and had a great many ililliciilties
in consequence of it ; his mime is found on
the honk ut the Tombs, ill the law courts,
and he has been known to the h.-ad of the
police for many years. While living in
Chambers St., he was sued by a disreputable
woman for nou-puyuiuut of money ullegt-d to
be due to her.
In 18;j."i, or thereabout, ll.irvey BuroVll
was engaged to be married to a respectable j
young lady, bm her father peremptorily re
fused to permit the marriage, al which Bur
dell got angry, struck thu father, and gave
him a black eye. Subsequently he was t n
pag.nl to be married to another young lady,
an adopted daughter or it worthy lady and
geiitli tuun ; the tiny und hour was set lor the
wedding, the wedding party assembled, thu
bridesmaids and the bridegroom were present,
the clergy man was ready to perl'oim the cer
emony, when Dr. Harvey Burdell entered the
room of the old man and told him that before
he married the gill hu wanted :t check for
t-0,0UU. The old gentleman told him that
il tie wus marrying ms daughter lor uer
moi.ev he should have neither, so the wed
ding was broken up. Suhsi-'queiltly the
young luily iiiHrried the person who wastobe
giooiiiBman on tbe turmer occasion ; he re
ceived the check for 20.1)00. Tho check on
the previous occasiou v.as made out for Bur-
Jell, und would have been given him imme
diately ufter the marriage ceremony was per-
lormed ; una when lie Heard about it, lie is
said to have become greatly excited, and de
clared that he never would get married.
Dr. Burdell had a verv curious servant girl
called Biddy, who was with him five years nt
Hii Broadway, nnd two years at Al Bond
street, during the whole of which time she
never went to bed. 1 lo never furnished her
with a bed or anything to sleep upon. Shu
wus poorly clad, am baldly ever hadanylhinjf
to wear on her feet. He never provided her
with anything to eut. but gave her a small
weekly salary, upon which she supported her
self, buying her food at thu groceries. This
is an example olthe Doctors penurioiisness.
The girl could speak four languages Itiiently
namely, tbe English, French, German, anil
Spanish. She had a great passion for study
ing and learning lunguages. he was nn
Irish girl, and a most faithful servant. She
frequently saved the doctor from being beat
en ; for il u fight occurred she would run be
tween bim and his assailant and stand there
till she stopped tbe fighting. She slept sit
ting on a stool in the kitchen below the hall
door, so if any person rung the bell or enter
ed the house at any time of night she would
know it and attend thrm. i et for all C e
services she barely received enough pay from
the doctor for her subsistence. Dr. Burdell,
us before mentioned, was a loose churucter,
aud consequently surrounded by such, lie
generally let bis house to persons of bad
character. Mrs. Tot ten occupied his house
in Broadway for some time, urn! he, us usual
hud trouble with her und a lawsuit.
About three years ago, Mr. Bulin, whose
wifu is half-sister to Dr. Burdell, look the
house No. 31 Bond street; they quurreled,
the parties moved from thu houiu, und buve
never spoken to Burdell since.
A little over a rear ago. Harvey Burdell
employed his brother James to build soma
houses tor bim, iu Herkimer county N. Y.,
and agreed to give bim a certain interest in
them, or reiiuinerate bim fur building ilium,
but a quarrel aud lawsuit followed between
them. Dr. Burdell also bad a lawsuit Willi

since a paper was circulated among the den
tists of our city to get money to put the poor

medical work, which decea.-ed claimed to
have translated from the French, Was trans

Dr. burdell whs never connected with the
American Society of Dental Surgeons. He
was proposed two or tine times as a candi
dale for membership ol that society, bnt was
never elected. This society expelled a large
number of members one year because they
used amalgam a compound of mercury and
silver to (ill the teeth with. The parlies
thus expelled, and others, afterward formed a
society, culled the New York Society of
Dental Surgeons more popularly kuotn as
the Amitlgum Society, because lliev weie iu

Dr. Burdell was President of this Society at
one time. It was under his presidency that
the society collapsed, he agreeing to the .ro
posal to break up the society und divide the
proceed among the members.
A SKE i CH OF THE LIFE OF DR.
KANE.
Dr. Klisha Kent Knne was born ii: Pliil
adi lpliiain lH- . Nearly a third of his life
wai cons ed in travel out of the limits of
the United Stales. No limn of hit years,
however, was tuuru I hvJ'.'Ul'.'ti," oV'lflS'VAeiJ
eVuritr'y. lie wus educated ut ilie Universi
ties of Virginia ami Pennsylvania, gradua
ting as a doctor ol medicine in 1813. His
gradualim thesis on "Kieslino" was crowned
by I he faculty, and is still cited ns authority
in the books of the profession. Immediately
alter receiving his degree, he was appointed
upon the diplomatic stall' as surgeon to the
lirst American embassy to China. He avail
ed himself of the facilities afforded by his
position to explore the l'hillipines, most of
which travel, including Camaiiuas and Min
tiora. was made on foot.
1 lit charts urn still preserved, bnt wo be.
lieve buve not been published. His associate
during a portion of this exploration, the
lamented young Baron l.oe, of Prussia, sank
under the effects o the hardship nnd expo
sure winch attended upon it, and died
iu j
lavu. Dr. hun devoted much attention to
the volcanic regiou of Albay. expecting to
connect his observations with subsequent
travels iu Soitibavu. His sojourn uiiiong the
Negritos und A rat urn a wus one of romantic
interest. He was the first who descended
the crater of the Tael. upon which occasion
he effected a topographical sketch of the in
terior of this great volcano. He was hower
ed more than a hundred feet by a bamboo
rope from an overhanging cliff and clamber
ing down some seven hundred feet through
the scorite, ws drugged up senseless, with
the interesting specimens he bad Collected.
Among these were bottles of su'pburous
acid from the very mouth of the critter.
After this Dr. Kane traversed India,
spending a considerable time among the
monolithic structures of A rungnbad, (which
would seem lo have particularly at I r acted his
notice,) visited Cdjloii, the Upper Nile, the
Oases of Jupiter Amnion, &c, und various
classic regions which have since become the
trodden ground of European tourist. A
purlion of this travel introduced him to the
learned Lepsius. who wus then prosecu'ing
his researches in Egypt. K. -turning, howev.
er, l)e. Kiinu was so unfoi tuiiale us to lose
his fuheah in a quicksand above E'Sloot, und
with it his ei.tiie paper und journals of years
of interesting travel
Taking a profound interest in the workings
of the slave trade, Dr. Kune next sailed from
home in the frigate United States for the
coast of Africa He visited the slave facto
ries from Cupe Mount to the river Bonny,
and bud free access to the baracoons of Da
homey through the inHueuce of the infamous
Da Sowzu. An excursion which he planned
to Abomev, favored by tho Portugese, failed
through a severe uttack of the coast fever,
from thu e Heels of whicii Dr. Kane's coiibti
tutiou has never entirely recovered.
Dr. Kane's personal udventureS in Mexico
are part of the history of bis country. His
wounds on the field of Nupoluca, which were
of a very serious nature, opened to bim the
hospitalities of his prisoner, Major General
Gamut, tho defender of San Juau d'Ulloa
against the French, und secured bim the
gratitude of oilier Mexican citeus of the
highest distinction. We believe, however,
that bis travels through lie) Republic of the
CuM-taa carried him little outside the lines of
miliary operations. A fu r his brilliant per
formance of the duty of currjing President
Polk's despatches to Gen. Scott, ho was still
necessarily trammelled by I lie movements of
the Amencau forces. His barometicul alti
tudes of Popocatepetl!) however, are of
value.
On tho return of peace be was assigned lo
the Coast Survey, under Professor Bathe,
and was ut work in the Gulf of Mexico w heu
the liberality of Mr. Grinoell stimulated the
Government of the United Slates to the first
American expedition in search of Sir John
Franklin Dr. Rare immediately volunteered
his aerv'ces, and was accepted ns the Senior
Surgeon of the Squadron. His "Personal
Narrative" of ibis cruise was published iu
1852.
Before it was completed for the press ha
bad effected big arrangements for the last

day for two year
led on him in tin
as well as drawing largely on those of Mr.
Grinnel and several of tbe scientific institu
tions of the country.
Tho history of that expedition and the
remarkable discoveries to which it led are
now before the country. They constitute in

The Society of Jesus, known ss the Jesuits,
was formed by Ignatus Bertram, and its for
mation might bo attributed to a brokon leg.
Bertram, who subscnuenllv assumed Die
name ofbis sire, "Loyola." was. when a vouth.
a gay aud profligate soldier, and in battle re
ceived a wound in tbe teg. While confined
to his bed, ho read all the works he could ob
tain on Knight Errantry, and anxious to he
ft chivurlous soldier, he caused bis leg, which
bad been improperly set. to be broken two
or three times and re-set.
1 his showed tho irou will cossesed by him
and which he never lost during his eventful
career. After be was apprised by his phy.
sicians that no medical skill could prevent
one orbis lefts being shorter than the other,
he gave up his cherished notions of chival
ry und turned his attention to thenloov i
The orders pursued by the monks and priests
of that uge were far too low for tho ideas of
Loyola, and he obtained lbs permission of the
Pope to form the Society of Jesus, with
thu restriction that but 60 members should
compose it.
While Martin Luther was converting the
world with truths ho bad obtuined by acci
deutally obtaining poBsr-ssion ol a Bible. lie was
met by the sagacious Loyola, who, though
lightinglon the side of error, still laid his
plans so they could extended throughout the
world.
Greater powers wern given the Order, and
they were subsequently allowed to increase
their numbers uutill they now number thirty
thousand. Although they were abolished
by a Pope's Bull, yet they continued to work
on despite the anathemas burled against
them, ami when restored to power by Pius
tho VII th, their rapid increase showed that
no time bad been wasted by them.
Tho Bev. gentleman minutely described
the manner in which candidates, fur admission
to the order were trained. No one ever saw
a Jesuit who had a coarse voice, for even
unto it was every care bestowed.
Although they unuiber tbou?ands, yet thev
have no will of their own, for if tho head of
tho church fays go, they go, if come, tiny
come.
w.'PijeT will beg from door to door if needs
is lo low for then! to peirvrrMmUii itx nature,
go to Siberia, to thu Euphrates, the Amazon,
the Mississippi, the Ohio, or the Delaware
The will once expressed, and they teadily
obey ; und if necessary to profess Protestan
ism to spread discusbiou among them, they
are ready for the work. Lying, perjury ond
murder were pardoned Vy the head of the
Church, if they should be nsed by tho order
i for tbe furtherance of their ends. Although
they are possessed of property valued at
I twenty millions of dollars, yet we see them
go into our courts und swear they are worth
nothing.
When Pius the I A", was mado Popo be did
away with many of the severities to which the
people were subjected and the Bomuns,
thouirht tho dawn of liberly wus coming.
They said, us he pased through tbo streets.
l'oly r uluer, beware ol Jesuits, but be could
not resist their influence.
In Spain and Portugal, their greatest
strongholds, they were driven out, and there
was a fair prospect that good old England
w ould yet have to drive forth from her laud
these wily creatures.
It is true they bad gained a conquest of
lute in Austria, by the Concordant, but the re
cent indications showed that a storm was
brewing, and none must be surprised if A us
Ira should blow them sky high.
The nephew of his uncle, now on the
throne of France, had maintained his position
by bugging the Jesuits towards bim, yet an
eruption would certainly occur there, for if
they once proclaim him a tyrant, whoever mur
ders him for their sake will receive forgive
ness. They are rearing defences in this country,
but so long as the great truths contained
in the Bible are in posessiou of the people,
they will bo foiled in their infamous attempts.
I he eminent uivino concluded by warning ull
to beware of the Jesuits.
Tight Boots and Shoes,
Very recently, a New Yorker purchased a
fiair of boots, but they fitted so tightly that
le was compelled to take them oil before night
but they caused his death within forty-eight
hours.
Tbe most unobservaut know that cold feet
and hands are uniform symptoms in thrse
diseases w hich gradually weur our lives away.
The cause of theso symptoms is a want of cir
culation. The blood does not puss to ami
from the extremities with facilty. Nine-tenths
of our women, nt least in cities and large
towns, have cold feet or hands, orabotb ; hence,
not one in a hundred is healthy. It is at our
feet and hands that we begin to die, and last
of all tho heart, becuase, last of all, stagna
tion takes place there. In the worst cases
of disease, the physician is hopeful of recov
ery, as long as he can keep the extremities
warm : w hen that cannot be dono, hope dies
withttibim. It needs uo argument to prove
that a light glove prevents the free ciicula
tion of blood through the hands and fingers.
It so happens, that the very persons who
ought to do everything possible to promote
the circulation of the blond, are those whu
most cultivate, tight gloves, tn wit t the
wives and daughters who bare nothing to do
but dress; or rather, do nothing but dress;
or to be critically accurate, who spend more
time in connection with dressing, than on all
other objects together, not including sleep.
No mail or woman born has any right to do
a deliberate injury to the body for a single
hour in the day ; but to do it day after day,
for a lifetime, against the lights of science
and common sense, is nof wise. We may
wink ut it, glide over it, talk about this be
ing a free country, that it is ridiculiousfora
doctor to dictate whether a glove shall be
worn tight or loose, bnt the effect won't be
laughed or scorned away for whatever is
done which impedos the circulation of tbe
blood, is done wrongfully against our bodies,
and will as be certain of "injurious results, as
tbe hinderiugof any, law physical or physio-;
logical. Every grain of saud roust be taken
care of, or the suiverse would dash to atoms,
and so with tbe !itt'. thlcgs of lb body,

The following extract from "'the Widow

Winter Grafting
The process of Root Grafting is entirely
superceding budding, or stock work, for the
apple. Small seedings of two or three year's
growth, in a looso pervious soil, are taking
up und about three slips cut roui each, three
or four inches long uuii the scion is whip or
slip grafted on. and wound with flux or wax.

ature till spring, when they ure Set out where

ot tho Root Grafting averring lhat tkey do

tree and its fruit bearing but we must say
that iu the hundreds of trees wo cave set out
and bionght to maturity, and in till the or
chards we have inspected, we have never ob
served or suspected such all i -fleet.
We once brought a liee of ihe green gage
plum which was root pralted, and when taken
up found the earth had been deeply drawn up
about the body and u set ol mots were thrown
out above the cicatrice of thrf graft. The or
