MADELINE SMITH.
London, July 2D, 1857.
"The mind Is it. own p!nce, niul in ii.elr
Can make a heaven of bell, a hell of hchvrn."
This is the Rrcalent Irulli pver sunu by a
pnet ; anil never perhnps has this philosophi
cal pertiment found a better Bpjdicntinn Hum
in the Glasgow poisonhi: case, which forms
the all absorbing mutter of discussion in evp
Knglish home. Mudeline Smith in (no of
those unfortunate gills destined und formed
by nature to adorn a household and to bless
rt man with a heaven of lore, but who beemio
they bestow their afi'ectiuns on nn unworthy !
subject, become base libertines, lieprnvi-d unii !
guilty women, nnd "make a hell ol their hea
ven." As inny l) expected, most of the hi.
dies who speuk of this fallen nngel, find no
terms strong enough for condemnation, it ml
are inclined to deny to their wretched sister
every womanly feeling. I happen to bo in
limntely acquainted with u gentleman who
was, for several years, the musical toucher of
Miss Smith in a school at I'pper Clapton,
nud he, a coid and sliurp observer, Fays (hut
h never knew a more unliable, delicate, und
tender feeling girl than she was at the ago of
Seventeen, fcibo had ulvnyun affectionate
heart, and no one would have imagined that
this quiet and ph asing Inks would one tlay
bo troubled und agitated by such a fearful
storm of passion. Ami this appreciation of
her character must bo Iruo. since tho mistress
of tho school und all oflior former governes
ses tell tho sumo story. It is, then, a ques
tion ol high eocih! interest, to know bow this
blooming girl becunio so quickly a corrupt
and miserable outcast.
Like tunny a vouim ladv of Biinerior intel-
ligenco and warm heart, Miss Smith fell pus
eionately in love with a worthless fellow.
I. Angelicr has gone to his account, and wo
will not be hard on a man rho has paid the
penalty of life for his crime ; for he has truly
committed tho crime of willfully depraving
i tie greatest put ol Heaven a pure nud lov
ing woman. Think only that he actually re-
prouched his paramour one day that she lov
ed him merely "becauso he wus handsome,"
and you will see at one glance of what stump
his mind wns. How well he succeeded in the
work of seduction is superabundantly known
by the letters which she wrote to him, and
which were read in Court. These terrible
notes seem to bo written with the pen with
which Itonsseau's lleloiso addressed Suint
1 reux. Some of these passionate epistles
were even so madly debauched that tho Lord
Advorato Ptirunk from leadinc them in nub-
lie. Well-informed persons tell me that
among other disgusting details, that two
consecutive abortions aro now described in
thorn.
Kut still she was aware of her shamp. and
tried to extricate hersell from the abyss of
corruption into which she hud been dragged.
sue leeis lor the proud nnd decorous lumily
to which she belongs, she Teels for her mother
and writes to her base lover, "In the name of
her who gave mo the light of day, save me
Iroin shame." And who knows but the un
fortunate girl might have been a tender and
faithful wile to the man who proposed to give
her his mime? She begs, she entreats her
accomplice in terms which would have moved
a stone to return her thege fatal letters, which
lie threatens to use against her as an engine
of continuous terror und oppression. He re
fuses, nut because he wants to inurry her, but
becauso he boasts of such a fair mistress, and
is not inclined to spare his victim. And who
would not forgive her the moving and des
pairing letter h.cli she writes in consequence?
From that moment the struggle, between L'
Angclier and herself is bat a duel, which she
fights with her own weapons.
The public look at it in this light. A few
weelss ago at Edinburgh, they would have
torn her to pieces, and the announcement of
the verdict, notwithstanding a serious warn
ing of the Lord Justice Clerk, elicited cheers
from the crowd in the Court, and was even
echoed by the large concourse outside. This
difference in the public feeling may easily be
accounted for. After L'An relier's death, it
was said that his mistress hud poisoned be
cause she wanted to marry a richer mun and
the people wero implicuble at such a base
and selfish calculation. Hut the trial gave
evidence that abject selfishness wus on the
side of the man, through whose vile agency
guilty love and incredible meutal sufferings
were brought on a gentle and unfortunate
girl. Feelings of sympathy and commisera
tion were in consequence prevalent, and the
most earnest moralist was satisfied with re
peating the words of the prayer, "Lead us not
luio lempiauon.
Miss Smith is not sent to the callows, but
so far as she is guilty, she is punished from
a position oi nouoraoie esteem, she is burled
to infamy : the whole world is made acouuiu-
ted with ber failings and her vices ; whatever
she held most sacred is defiled, and all the
blossoms of her lift, are blighted by a wicked
and degrading passion, la a blemished repu
tation, suspicion of the deepest dye, a brand
of woful dishonor, not sufficient In the eyes of
virtuous women, who are without pity for
this sinniDg Msgdulen ?
The Medical Profession.
Bt onr who Knew It.
The American Medical Gazette, for June,
gives a medical student in I'aris. This wri
ter says that he once beard Mugentlie, tho
celebrated French physician and physiologist
open a lecture somewhat in the lullowiug
words :
Gentlemen : Medicine is a great hum
bug. 1 know it is culled a science science,
indeed I It is nothing like science. Doctors
are mere empirics, when they are not charla
tans. We are as ignorant as men can be.
Who knows anything in the. world about
medicine? Gentlemen, you have done me
the honor to come hero to attend my lectures
and I must tell yon fraDkly now, in the be
ginning, that 1 know nothing in the world
ubuut medicine, and I don't know anybody
who noes kuow anything about it. Don't
think for a moment that 1 haeu'l reaiUte
bills advertising the course of lectures aWie
-Medical School ; 1 know that this mun teach
es aliutomy, that man teaches pulbulogy, all
ot bur man physiology, siich n-one therapeu
tics, such-unother meteria medica. Eli Lien !
tt apresl What's known ubont. nil that?
W hy, gentlemen, at the school of Montpclier
(God knows it was famous enough in its day,)
they discarded the study of anatomy, ti ltd
taught nothing but the dispensary; and tho
doctors educated there knew just as much
aud were quite as successful us uny others. I
repeul it, nobody knows anything about med
icine. True enough we are gathering fucts
every day. We cun produce typhus fever,
fur example, by injecting a certuiu substance
into tho veins ol'dog that's something j we
can ellevmte diabetes, Htid, I See distinctly,
wo are fust upproucbing the day when phthi
sis cun be cured as eukily bs any disease.
"We are collecting facts io the right spirit
and 1 dare say, ia a century or so, tho uccu
inululiuu of fucts may enable our successors
to form a modicul science, I repent it to you,
there is no such thing now as a medical
science. Who can tell me how to cure the
headache? or the gout? or diseaso of the
heart? Nobody. Oh! you tell me doctors
cure people. 1 grunt yon people are cured.
IJut how are they cured? Gentlemen, nature
does a great deal imagination does a great
deal doctors do devilish lit lie when they (
don't do harm Let mo tell yoo, gentlemen,
what I did when 1 was the head physician at
Hotel Dieu. Some three or four thousund
patients passed through my hands every year
1 divided the patients iuto two classes: with
one I followed the dispensary. nnd gave them
them the usual meoiciues, without having
the least idea why or w herefore ; to the other
1 gave breud pills and colored water, without
of course, letting them know anything; ubont
it; iiiid, occasionally, gentlemen, 1 would
crealo u third division, to whom 1 gave uo
thing whatever. These list would fret n
good deal, they would feel they were neglect
ed (sick peopl. always feel they lire neglected
unless they are well drugged Ik imb'cilei!)
and they would irritate themselves until they
got really sick ; but nature invuriably came
to the rescue, and all the persons in the third
class got well. There was a little mortality
among those who received but bread pills
and colored water, nn.l the mortality was
greatest among those who wero carefully
drugged according to tho dispensary."
This is pretty plain speaking for a doctor.
From ihe Detroit Free Presa of August 4
Another Ferocious Attack by tho
Bear A Dangerous Animal.
We give the particulars of another affair,
in which the bear, of whoso existence our
contemporaries of the daily press in this city
are oblivious, was actively concerned, and
came very near adding another victim of his
savage ferocity to the one whoso death we
recorded a day or two since. The scene of
the affair was about C miles rust of the city,
and about a mile and a hull' from the steuin
saw mill owned and operated by Mr. John
Iliimney. A party of men were engaged in
tho woods on Thursday last in constructing a
Bhanty, when, it being found thut a certuiu
stick of timber was needed for use, a Gei niau
named Heidum, took on u.e, und went into
the swamp to cut it. lie wus in search of an
appropriate pieCP for the purpose intended,
when he was startled by tho sudden apparition
of a largo black bear, standing a few left
from him and eyeing him intetilly.
A larue doif which accompanied him im
mediately attacked the bear, seizing her by
tho haunches, and hanghe; on like grim death.
Heidum. seems the bear occupied in lielcud-
ing herself auuinst tho dog, thought he had a
sure thing of it, und approached to strike her
with the axo. The bear on seeing this move-
ment. raised herself upon her haunches, und
us Heidum struck at her bead with the axe,
caught the blow with her fore paw, aud sent
the iixe living through the air, enureiy out oi
reach. The force of the blow being miscalcu
lated, the consequence was thai Heidum lost
liia bulance, and the bear caught him in its
grasp, und held him in a deadly hug that le
prived him of every power of motion. The
dog meanwhile worked manfully for his mus
ter and kept the Dears teem in constant
uclion in defending herself from his at lucks,
thus probably saving Lin muster's life. For
Innately, the party which lleidnm had just
left was not far distant, and bib cm s for help,
together with the loud growling of the dog,
attracted their attention, and one of the party,
seizing a broudaxe, hastened ill the direction
of the nois.i Coming in sight of the bear
who still held lleidmnn in a deadly grasp,
muile a rush at her with his bruadaxe.
The animal not liking tho looks of this
reinforcement, let go the man a .d made oil
at full speed, followed by the dog, who soou
returned budly wounded. Heidain upon
beiug released, dropped upon the ground
senseless from the effects of the hug. and wus
taken op by his companions, and curried to a
place of safety, where he was resuscitated.
He hus not yet recovered from the fleets of
the desperate struggle, so as to be able to do
anything.
The b ar was accompanied by her three
cubs, and has been seen by dozens of persons
iu the same neighborhood, within the lust
two or three weeks. We received the par
ticulars of tho above a Hair from Mr. William
Riimney, 203 Jefferson avenue, who learned
them on the spot, aud is ready with a dozen
witnesses to vouch for their accuracy. Our
account of the killing of the boy by the same
bear, on last Tuesday, is also true in every
particular, the Tribuue to the contrary, not
withstanding. A man by the name of John Stewart, who
deserted bis sou when a child, attempted the
other day to sue out a writ of habeai cor
pus before one of the Associate Judges of
Snyder County, Pa., with a view of taking
the lad, now sixteeu years old, from bis master
to whom be had been apprenticed at Heaver
Furnace. The Judge decided that the father
bad no right to the boy.
From Ike Pittsburg Journal, July 31.)
Bev. T. Simpson Suspended from tho
Ministry.
On Wednesday morning, the 30th inst,
the Presbytery of Allegheny, of the Cumber
land Presbyterian church, met io Westmin
ster College, Allegheny city, pursuant to
adjournment of July 17th, to, perform the
puinl'ul duty of trying one of their brethern
on two separate charges of "improper con
duct," which were' entertained aguinst him at
the preceding meeting of the Presbytery,
and were as follows t
1. That ho acted improperly in entering
Miss Henderson's slate-room at such nn un
seasonable hour.
2. That he acted improperly in having the
names "Kev. Simpson aud lady" entered on
the register of the steamer Arctic.
'1 he Presbytery, in trying the cose, used
the utmost enre and caution, nnd every op
portunity was afforded Mr. Simpson to es
tablish his innocence ; but he could moko no
defence against the charges preferred, end
admitted to having been in the same berth
wilh Miss Henderson on board the lown.
liven so fur did the members of the Presby
tery extend their generosity at the former
meeting when eliciting testimony for tho
purpose of finding out whether or not thero
were sufficient grounds for predicating charges
at all, that they allowed the girl herself, a
party equally implicated, and of course inter
ested, to give her evidence, in which she
stated thut Mr. Simpson was lying in her
berth, but it was at her urgent request, as
she was afraid to stay in the room alone.
However, Miss Henderson as what girl
would not under the sanio circumstances
denied that her guardian ever made any
improper advances. '
The session of the Presbytery was lengthy
snd tiresomo, being prolonged until four
o'clock on Thursday morning, when by a
unanimous vote. Rev. T. J. Simpson wus
indefinitely suspended from the Gospel miuis
try of the Cumberland Prcsbyteriun Church,
having been found guilty as'indicted. The
entire investigation wus conducted with closed
doors.
Lot it be understood Mr. S. is not expelled
from the Cumberland Presbvterian Church.

pclled possibly some other church might
have taken him in, but not as the matter
stands at present. However, if ho marries
the confiding creature he has ruined, and
gives unmistakable signs of repentance, the
Presbytery might reinstate him. lint the
time for this, if it ever arrives, ia far away

EEglish "Wealth and IiUxuriousncsa.
Some of our New York Fifth avenue swells
make very respectable attempts to do the
'palatial'' in their houses and style of living,
und put forth ambitious efforts to imitato
English country seuts in tho posession of
what the English would call a "snug box" on
tho Hudsou river, and ten, twenty, or a hun
dred ucrcs. An uccouut before u?, of tho
luxurous style of living among tho English
aristocracy, throws our ;w veuve pretenders
considerably into the shade:
About sixty miles from London, is tho

library contains Lily thousund volumes, and
is said to bo tho finest private library iu the

consists of 'ioU(!0 acres, or over 35 miles,
und this in crowded England which has iu all
mi urea of only 60,000 squuro miles, or just
3'J,UUO,0()0 of acres, giving, w re the land di
vided, but two seres to each inhabitant. The
rtbideuce of tho Duke is fitted up with orien
tal mainiificeiice. Twenty five race horses
stand in his stables, each under the care of a !
speciul groom. The dishes and plate upon
the table, are all of porcelain, silver and gold.
His aviary is supplied with almost every va
riety of rare mid elegant birds, aud largo
heids of cuttle, sheep und deer, are spread
over the immense lawns.
The same cuthoiily from which we gather
these fact Suys thut the Duke of Devonshire's
palace, ut ChaUworth, excels in magnificence
utiy other of the kingdom. Ho spends tho
whole of his enormous income. In the grounds
ubout the house uro kept four hundred head
of cattle and fourteen hundred deer. The

Tut PORKEK DlSSEOTRD.
Dr. Dixon, the racy editor of the Scalpel,
dissects the dietetic qualities of a porker as
readily as ho slashes into the anatomy of
diseased humanity Either the Doctor is
right, or Moses of old was wrong :
"The wisdom of the Jewir-h law which
prohibits the use of pork, will soon be ac
knowledged by all rational beings. Thut
swine are afflicted with scrofula and tubercles,
we have repeatedly shown, aud every killer
of hogs well knows it j the indigestibility of
the flesh is acknowledged, and if people were
enlightened, the hog would only be raised for
his lut alone. This is available In all cases
instead of whale and other fish oils, and will
doubtless be made so in place of vegetnblo
oils a few excepted of the finer kinds for
eating. Mutton and beef, if our farmers ever
becomo enlightened, muy profitably tuko the
place of the hog, and would add greatly to
the health and dignity of the farmer's house

fluence of pork eating on tho farmer is degra
ding. Good husbandry would furnish other
Tats for the farmer, to say nothing of butter,
which the present catalogue of the grasses
and cereals, and enlightened irrigation, furnish
iu abundance. If nnd we emphatically aver
it a correct criterion the muterial and get
ting up of the family meal classifies the
occupant of a household among rational and
intellectual beings, then we say that those on
whoso tables poik is most frequently found,
are the least intelligent and most grovelling
in their views. We know distinctly the full
bearings of what we utter, and precisely how
it will be received, nor do we care a farthing

for the assertion. Wbattnotivo remains for
his elevation, if a human being is taught to
look no higher than to such a repast fur the
nourishment of tho body, ond to the nearest
priest for tho welfare of his soul ? Now
compare this fuirly with the poor farmer,
such as we have often seen him ut the family
meal aye, as you may now fiud him all over
our country, with his salt hog, potatoes, and
sour lyo bread, and his miserable husbandry,
and thousand excuses for not raising shoep,
protecting and feediing his cattle, und chang
ing and cultivating his fowls and seeds, and
attending carefully to a good vegetablo gar
pen. "You need make but small search for
ids pig-pen, his foul barn-yatd, his whiskey

Ho will largely defend his beloved pmkers,
his system (!) of husbandry and his favorite
luxuries; the hog is his grand exemplar of
manners and physiologies, his omnivorous
family laboratory that converts the produce
of his farm into tho greut staple pork.
Poor Sir Walter Raleigh ! we have often

THE WlKDMIKIl MrKIM.

"He is quite cheerful for one iu his sit nation
but not so much, however, as he was when wu

at a table covered with good books some of

HOOPS.
8T A COOPER,
Hoops on barrels, kegs and pails,
J7oos on boxes, tubs and hales,
Are articles indispensable
Hut hoops as they puff out woman's dress,
Making the woman seem so much less,
Are Ihinge mosl indefensible.
Hoops when their sturdy clasp confines,
In brown old casks the richest wines,
Are objects ot admiration
But hrop as part of waman's baggage,
Are like the whoops of a painted savage,
A vile abomination.
Hoops muse t:elul, pretty toys,
For active littlle girls and boys,
liut hoops on woman gentle
A re things to sneer at at snd to scoff,
And, like the whoop of the whooping-cough,
Neither useful nor ornamental.
For while dear woman bones ler skirts,
And like a skeleton flaunts and flirts,
She hss so much to carry,
Man finds it bard with her to talk.
And hardei still to sit or walk,
ut hardest of all to marry.
For when a smitten wretch has seen,
Among the lost in crinoline.
The one his heart holds dearer,
Oh ! what a chill to ardent passions,
To feel that thio' this hollow fashion,
He never can be nearer I
Th.it ins'ead of timidly drawing near,
And pouring into the thrilling ear,
The flood of his souls devo'ion
He must stand and bellow in thunder tonci.
Across a half acre of skirts and bones,
As if hailing a ship on the ocean !
And if by chance the maid ot his choice,
Shall faintly heartier lover's voice
And smile her condecension
Why he captures a mass of hoops and rings,
Skeletons, bones, and other things,
Too horrible to mention.
Thus lovely woman hoops to follv.
Ami drives poor man to melancholy,
L!y her frigid zones ;
Thrn let here a warning voice,
between her hoop and hopes make choice,
And give the dogs her bones.

Directions for Sugar-Making.
Messrs. Hedges, Fee &Co., Sugar-Refiners
of Philadelphia, make the following reply to
the editor of the ImeriVfiu Irricuftumt.dated
tho Kith tilt., on the subject of Sugar making,
which will bo found to possess interest, espe
cially as in the last paragraph they stated
that sugar cun be mude from the Chinese
cane :
A reply to your inquiries in relation to the
lequisite instruction for arranging mills, boil
ers, tanks, fillers, coolers, ic. ic, and then
also, the "modus operandi," after all are
ready, will be lather difficult to give in a man
ner satisfactory, even to ourselves, with the
light before us. We have spared no pains or
time iu collecting information to enable ns,
as far as possible, to give to others engaged
in the pioneering of this new Sugar Cane
movement. We shull do the best we can,
however, and urge those engaged in it to be
thorough in experimenting, try all the modes
und means known, mid he sure to koep some
careful record for future use. In the course
of two weeks we expect to be in possession
of the results of a test in Florida, near
Orange Springs, which shall be make public,
uhatecer it is. Mismanagement has deprived
us of the cane we had planted in the hot
! house, for early test. The first that will be
j worked besides that in Florada, will be at
! Gov. Hammond's, of S C, about the 10th or
lath of August. Col. Peters tells us that
bis seventy acres of "Sorgho," is now about
six feet high, nnd will be ready from 1st to
I Sth of September: he lias somo earlier
planted that he will work about the 20th of
August. On this he uses a two horsa mill
just being shipped by us, and a steam power
mill lor his large crop. He only designs
making syrup or molasses, except, perhaps, a
sin ull experiment with augur.
The cane must be allowed to mature fully,
not attempting to work it until the seed is
fully out of the milk, and as some of the
tillers will be rather later than others, it will
no doubt bo better to throw them out for
fodder than jeopardise the rest. The leaves
should bo stripped off before cutting and the
top cut off with -tho seed some two and a half
Cf tiree feet down, as there is not much sac
chariue juice iu the upper end. Then if your
apparatus is ready, cut ond grind as fast as
you cut, and boil as fast as you grind, sinco
the less tune the stalks or cut cane is exposed
the better. The juice, if concentrated by the
nsual process, will puss through two seives
lirst No. 8 and then No. 10, set over a large,
tin I'u unci immediately under tho uiill, (w hich
will be set ubout three feet from the ground
upon three posts firmly bedded iu the ground
about throe feet.) This runnel is contracted
to a pipe of two inches in diameter .and run
ning under ground past the horse's track, and
entering a tank either lined with tin or
painted thoroughly, and varnished so as to be
impervious to the juice and easily washed
clean, when left idle for even uu hour. The
juice is raised by tin buckets or a tin or
copper pump, from this to a clarifier. This
may be of sheet iron No. 8, and ubout twelve
inches deep, and large enough to Gil your
first kettle, and set higher, with druw off
pipe and stop-cock entering at the bottom.
This clarifier is set so that the bout is applied
under it after leaving the range of boilers,
and may be shut off by damper into another
side tine while you discharge this pan. The
heat being applied slowly, a thick scum arises,
and whuu near boiling you change dampers
and draw off until the juico begins to show
sediment or scum theu clean the pan and
till again, ami so on Now in this first
kettle you add lime well slaked and sifted,
until your juice will out change the color of
litmus paper, (which cun be got at any good
drug store quite cheaply.) While the juice
is acid it wiil change to a reddish buo, god
if thus boilet will ueither granulate or keep
gweet ag molasses.
With our two horse mill of rollers 17 inches
long, we use three boilers holding 00, 40 and
20 gallons, with the Utter immediately over
the tiro and sot with flariug walls or jambs,
rising above each about ti, 8 and 10 inches,
and completely cemented with water lime.
The last, or 20 gallon boiler, should be higher
than the 40. and that above the CO, so that
the scum will ruu through the gap Into the
next kettle bebiod, successively. Tho scum
should also be thrown back whenever accu
mulated, into the hindmost kettle. If yott

the "battery," a thermometer, made for that
purpose, can be obtained in most large citiel
for a dollar or so. It requires to be gradua
eed up to say 250 degrees, as about 240 de
grees Fahrenheit is considered the proper
poiut. Should the heat rise above this, yoa
must open yonr fire doors and throw over tha
fire an armful of begasse from the mill, and
then discharge tho simp as quickly as possible
and refill from the next kettle, thus cootiuu.

and granulate ; or if you make molasses only,
you will use barrels, slaves or oak and bead
of pine or cypress, thoroughly mado.
In regard to crystolising the sorgho sugar,
wo, to-day, went wilh Col. Peters to the su
gar refinery of Messrs. liastwick & Brotbors,
No. 73 Vine street, of this city, carrying with
us some sugar mado from the sorgho, by Col.
Peters, in Georgia, and by Mr. Wray, in
France. Those epectmens Wore subjected to
the severest chemical tests, and examined
under a powerful microscope, and both proved
to be true crystalisable sugar, and not glticos.

satisfactory. Tbey promise a public report
of the examination soon. Yours, 4c,
