DR. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lou
don, Graduated from one of the most eminent
Colleges in the United States, and the greater
part of whose lfe has been spent in the hospitals
of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere,
liaB cllectcd some of the most astonishing cures
that were ever known ; many troubled with ring
ing in the head and cars when asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds,
baslifuluess, with frequent blushing, attended
sometimes with derangement of mind, were cured
immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have Injurrd
themselves by improper indulgence and solitary
habits, which ruin both body and mind, unlittiiig
them for either business, study, society or mar
riage. 'i iiKSK arc some of tho sad and melancholy
effects produced by early hubits of youth, viz:
Weakness of the Back aud Limbs, Pains in the
Back and Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus
cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy,
Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Digestive
Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con
sumption, &C.
Mentai.lt The fearful effects on the mind
are much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil
Forebodings, Aversion to Society, Self-Distrust,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, .v.e., are some of the
evils produced.
Thousands of persons of all ages can now
judge what is the cause of their declining health,
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
and emaciated, having a singular appearance
about the, eyes, cough and symptoms of consump
tion. YOUNG MEN
Who have Injured themselves by a certain prac
tice indulged in when alone, a habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or nt school, the
ctleets of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, aud if not cured, renders marriage impos
sible, and destroys both mind and body, should
apply immediately.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of his
country, the darling of his parents, should be
snatched, from all prospects and enjoyments of
life, by the consequence of deviating' from the
path of nature and indulging In a certain secret
habit. Such persons mi st, before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a sound mind and body are the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial happi
ness, ludecd without these, the journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage j the prospect
hourly darkens to the view the mind becomes
shadowed with despair and tilled with the melan
choly reflection, that the happiness of another
becomes bliuhtcd witli ourowu.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of
pleasure tlnds that he has imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease, it too often happens that uu
ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery,
deters him from applying to those who, from
education and respectability, can alone befriend
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, uoctural
pubis iu the head und limbs, dlmuess ot sight,
deafness, nodes on the shin bones aud arms,
blotches on the heud, lace and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till ut last the
palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose full
in, and the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to his.dreadful suffering, by sending
him to " that Undiscovered Country from whence
no traveller returns."
It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this tcrriblo disease, through falling
into t lie Hands or Ignorant or nueKilllut 1 Kh
TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi
son, Mercury, &c., destroy the constitution, aud
Incapable ot curing, keep the unliappv Batterer
mouth after month taking their mious or In
jurious compounds, and instead of being restored
to a renewal ot Lite Igor and Happiness, iu des
pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh over
his irullinir disappointment.
To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges him
self to preserve tho most Iuviolable Secrecy, and
from his extensive practice and observations in
the great Hospitals of Europe, and the first it:
this country, vix i England, France, Philadelphia
aud elsewhere, is enabled to offer the most cer
tain, speedy und effectual remedy Iu the world
for uli diseases of Imprudence.

A CAMPAIGN SOXG.
NOTIIINO LIKB LEATHER.
In early days our fathers woro
Their home-made buckskin breeches,
Cut out by guess-work measurement,
With leather whangs for stitches,
And now their sons are called again
To rally 'nonth the banner
Borne by these men of leather-cruft,
The Cobbler and the Tanner.
The North and South, tho East aud West,
Will work and sing together,
And march to glorious victory
For nothing wears like leather !
We Imve some Jobs on mongrel pelts,
And liao tho hands to do them
Our Grant will ucatly cui-ry them,
And Wilson wax It to them I
The chopper up nt Chnppaqua
May go on with his planning
We'll iet hltn furnish all the lim it,
But Grunt will do the tanning 1
The thin-skinned chaps will uppers make,
The tough old hides the nether t
The bolting, sorc-hcad crowd will do
For nothing but split leather I
The "later Franklin," statesman, sage,
Philosopher and farmer,
Retired In cool and rural shades,
As days grow loug and warmer,
Can milk the gentle butternut,
That giuiscs round with bell on,
And pan out butter sweet, for Units
To spread his watermelon I
Or he seize his ready pen,
In stormy, rainy weather,
Aud tells tho world how shoe pegs-grow,
Or modes of smelling leather I
To spoil so fine a husbandman,
Who, perched up in the city,
Writes quires of what ho never knew,
It surely wcro a pity.
No, let him breed the short-torn (luck,
And Poland-China gobbler
We'll burden with the cares of Slate,
The Tanner and the Cobbler !
The grand array of Common wealths
They'll bind, as with a tether,
That ne'er again shall broken bo
For nothing holds like leather 4
The virtues, brains and honesty
Of Horace they poke at us,
As if the Cincinnati fraud
Made him a Clnclniintns !
And while he seeks a season brief
Of rural peace and quiet,
Pure water is his only drink,
Pure dirt his only diet !
His old white hat and old white coat
Have served all kinds of weather j
But they are like his principles
They will not wear like leather !
The. squad that sought old Chappaqun,
To marshal 'neath his pennon,
Will be surprised to meet our flag,
And llnd there Is a Urn. on4
That flag is borne by gallant bauds,
Four million votes behind it !
Alas ! where is the mongrel hope T
"Go West" they cannot find If !
Like Grant, when in the Wilderness,
Will "push" in spite of weather)
And "ou this line we'll tight it out"
There nothing is like leather I
Then, Freedom's temple, rear it high !
Aud If we need n cap-stone,
Or key to bind a broken arch,
Take Henry Wilson's lap-stone!
To guard it we must have u man
Who never hulls or misses ;
We've many soldiers Hied und true
None better than L'lysses !
The Tanner and the Cobbler arc
The men to work together ;
They'll win the Held, and keep It, too
For nothing holds like leal her !

with walls and ceiling frescoed in excellent
taste ; ou the left side a liio place, with
dark marble mantle, glass, a nicely mouut
cd ch'ck, cU
Id front of you, in tho rear of tho room,
two windows which overlooks over the Po
tomac, showing tho green fields, sparkling
water and the distant city of Alexandria,
the damask curtains forming a rich red
border to a beautiful sceue. Ou your right
two or three sofas and some comlortablu
arm-chairs trimmed in browu silk, a map
stand, ele. A table covered with blue cloth,
surrounded by eight chairs, linished iu
brown leather, under a chandelier in the
center of the room, furnishes the President
nnd cabinet with desk room. Al the head
of the table a medium si.e.l man with full
beard, and dressed iu black, using a com
mou pen aud au ordinary glass inkstand,
with a much used blotter, which rests on a
pile of plain cards, aud a well worn lead
pencil.
"Good morning sir," is the salutation as
you enter snoken in good round S.txon
as the Presidetit of the United .States rises
and extends his hand; "lie seated." As
there are three others iu the room, the prof
cred sent is taken and your casual waits
his turn. The litsl visitor walks to the ta
ble, takes a scat to tho right of the Presi
dent. "I am from St. Louis, for some time con
nected with tho paper, an agricultur
al paper, aud for many years identified
with the agricultural interests of tho State
of Missouri. Mot being advised as to the
method, 1 wrote you some weeks ago ask
ing an appoiuttuent in the consular service
at a point where I could gain some knowl
edge for the agricultural cause, &c. 1 in
closed my recommendations to you at tho
time of writing."
"Yes, I remember. You are Mr. P.,
of St. Louis. I referred thctu to Governor
Fish, and was much impressed with them.
You are recommended by Mr. , Mr.

"Yes, Mr. President, I would like au
appointment iu Russia or iu the Argentine
Confederntiou. I am used to cattle aud to
the breeding of them."
The Prcsideut then cutered into a con
versation with him ou cattle iu general,
aud showed thorough knowledge on tho
subject, much to the surprise of the appli
cant, who finally stated that he was a
graduate of Dartmouth and not au olllee
seeker by professiou.
"Are you acquainted with Gov. Fish?"
said the President. "No," (writing on a
card). "Well, to-morrow being cabinet
day, I will speak to Governor Fish about
your case. You can boo him iu the mean
time. I have said to him on this card :
'This will iuUodiice Mr. who is arv
pliennt for n consulship, &c. Take this
to Governor Fish at the State Department.'
"When shall I cnll agnin?"
"Call to-morrow nt two and a half o'
clock, after I have seen Governor Fish.
Good morning." And the Missourian
bowed himself out, and tho President was
ready for the next, who came forward nud
took tho scntjust vacated.
lie wns a negro. His head looked like
an culnrged oven, nnd as knotty ns red
oak. He was dressed iu the shabby-genteel
mnnuer, with a (laming rod necktie.
Tho President gave him a long, searching
look, and av what ho was, then settled
himself hnck in his chnir for a siege.
"Mr. Presidetit, I am a native of West
minister, England, a graduate of Cam
bridge, nnd a barrister in the English
courts, also a short-hand reporter. I came
to Halifax, nnd found but little to do.
Came to Doston, staid two years in the
practice, and found two colored lawyers
there who were doing good business.
As I am and could not become a citizen
of tho United States, I was not popular. I
then came to Washington nntl obtained
cmplovmeut ns a short-hand reporter with
Mr. Miller on the Globe. Then I worked
for Mr. Sumner, then for Mr. Douglas,
who published a paper iu the interest of
tho colored man; nnd now I nin out of
work nnd destitute! I have heard, sir, of
your kindness and charity to the people of
my rnce, nnd I come to you to sec if you
could not do sotnethintr for me."
"Yes, I have the same interest in your
people that I Imve iu other citizens of the
United States. Have you been to the How
ard University " Inquired tho Presi
dent. "Yes. sir, but they did nothing for me."
"Have you been to see Mr. Colfax? lie
takes great interest in your pepole."
"Yes, sir," replied the colored man, "but
he can do nothing for me."
"Well, what can I do ?"
"You don't seem to understand me, Mr.
President. I am out of means, aud you
are said to bo very charitable."
"I am as charitable as I can be," said
tho President.
"Yes, 1 know you am, and the slightest
pecuniary aid will bo of the greatest help
to m'."
"If I were to give to all who ask from
me, I could soon expend n large fortune."
" Yes, hut Mr. President, you don't
seem to uuderstand the situation. 1 am
entirely out of money."
"I generally con lino my charity to such
as have a family."
"Mr. President, I have a wife and three
interesting children."
Met at every point, the President drew
his pocket book and gave tho fellow a
greenback, nnd then the colored gentleman
for the first time took his eyes from tho
President's face. He carefully folded the
note, brushed his dilapidated beaver with
his elbow, put the. bill in his pocket, nnd
made for the door, saying ns hu departed,
with the llourish of n lleau llaummell :
'.'Mr. President, I shall never forget your
kindness never, s'help me, God. Guod
morning."
"Good day, sir," the President remark
ed, ns he turned to meet the next visitor,
who was a young boy, with rosy checks
and bright eyes.
"I have been ttirued out of West Point,
Mr. President. I want to get back, (he
had failed in his class examination) and
came to you to know what to do. Here
arc my papers," handing his credentials
find recommendation from many promin
ent men to the President, who read them
nnd said :
"You cannot get back without the re
commendation of tho Academic board. It
would be a violation of law if you were
appointed without it," Then looking close
ly nt the boy, "if you will get their recom
mendation why, then, your Congressman
can reappoint you."
"I am tooohl to enter upon n new ap
pointment, nnd the Congressman from my
district won't nppoiut me. Tho one who
first nppointed me is out nnd a new one is
now in."
"Very well. You write to the Academ
ic board at West Point, through the Post
Adjutant and get their permission to re
enter, asking that you may go into tho
third class and to go on with your studies.
I will appoint you to West Point."
"Will you?" said tho boy, his face light
ing up like the harvest moon, "when shall
I write?"
The President then told hitn what to
write, lvpealing it. "When you have writ
ten the letter fetch it to mo and I will re
vise it and endorse it."
"Where shall 1 write it?"
"Sit here al this table, or go to the next
room."
The boy wont out with a quick step and
a heart too full for utterance.
Tho President then turned to your cas
ual and entered on the business which
brought him, incidentally mentioning when
and where wo had met, and tho circum
stances, years ago. When you consider the
number of persons lie meets, nnd the hun
dred of faces passing buforo him daily, you
are astonished at the memory this mau pos
sesses. A Congressman came nnd called the at
tention of the President to some business
connected with ones of tho departments,
saying he would call again. The Presi
dent, asking to be excused, took his hat
and passed out a side door.
A few moments aftcrvard, walking into
tho room of the head of one ofthu depart
ments, your casual found the President
seated nt a table inquiring scarchingly and
minutely iuto the matter about which tho
Congressman had called. When he was
thoroughly informed he took his leave. As
he was leaving the building, the door
keeper, who has served under many ad
ministrations, remarked : "General Grant
is the only President iu my time who ever
took the trouble to come to the department
and look iuto matters he wished to have ex
plained." A stolkx kiss s ivcd a girl's life in Fond
du Luck, for if tho man who did the deed
had uot pulled her head forward just as ho
did, a beam which fell from the upper
tloor, would have dashed her brains out.
Such is the story, anyhow. And now tho
Fond du Lack girls, wheu in geutlemau's
company, cast their eyes furtively at tho
ceiling, aud act just as if they would as
lief have a beam fall as not. if they were
certain tho young mou would pull their
heads iu tim.
A counthv paper says : "The credit

From the Miner's Journal
Honcnt t'luirley Iluckulcw.
The particular friends of Mr. Kuckalow
bonst tfint he is an honest man. We de
ny tho assertion, aud can prove him to bo
otio of the most shameful and daring pub
lie plunderers iu the State, aud we chal
lenge nny person to deny it.
We have i)3 Senators, and wo find by the
report of tho Auditor General, that for the
year enuiug ovemucr au, 18UU, wheu that
body had a majority of Republicans, the
pny of the Senators for a whole session of
the Legislature, including tho mileage and
stationary was as follows :
Pay of members, including
riilengo and stationery, - !35,47j,30.
At the last session of the Legislature a
committee was appointed to investigate
the election of (tray and McClurc, which
was composed of four Democrats and three
ltepublicans. Of this committee Mr. lluck
alew wns chairman, aud had the casting
vote. This committee did not set, includ
ing all the sessions, more than live contin
uous days. It wns held in Philadelphia.
All the members had freo tickets by rail,
to travel backwards and forwards. All
their expenses for hoard and liquors, &e.,
were paid by the State for this committee
of seven at the Washington House. They
made the State pay :i bill for their board
nnd use of a committee room, of $2, Ml, 35,
equal to S312 for each member. All their
assistants were paid heavily also, ns tha
items of the shameful bill will show.
The members of the committee were paid
I? 1000 for their services ns Senators. As
Senators they mado this investigation, nnd
all extra expenses they had charged to the
Slate yet this committee of which Mr.
13uckalew was chairman voted themselves
?300 each out of the Stale Treasury in ad
dition to their salary, Tho taking of this
SoOO additional out of the Treasury was
absolute stealing. Put Mr. JUickalew took
it aud sanctioned it. It amounted to about j
S75 pay for each member, for each meet-j
ing they held, which was open robbery j
they stole it because they had the powei to
take it, just ns a robber does when has tho
power.
Hut this is not all they stole for all
their friends thousands of dollars, and run
up a bill to the nmouiit of no less than
$20,0(io,ll for this investigation, when the
actual expenses need not have exceeded
S0,i;00, nud would not have exceeded it, if
conducted honest ly. We hero assert that
couvicted robbers, whoare now serving out
their time in the penitentiaries of this
State, are not as guilty as this committee,
because these persons were public officers,
sworn to protect the iuterests of the peo
ple whom they represented, nnd the chair
man who approved of and sanctioned such
wholesale thieving, is the most criminal of
the whole lot.
Public pluuderers nnd thieves may sanc
tion such conduct and pronounce it honest
because these men had the power to steal
in their public capacity ; but no honest
man, we care not to what party he may
belong, cau sanction such conduct, much
less support such a man for Governor of
tho State, who would thus use his posi
tion to steal the public funds for himself
and those around him. We denounce the
Republican members of that committee
just as much ns we do the Democratic
members; but tint Democrats had the con
trolling power to check it if cveu one of
the members desired to do so but they
did not, und the chairman of the commit
tee approved it.
Here are the items of expenses of that
swiudling committee, which is unparallel
ed in the history of the State :
For reporters an.l their assist
ants 2,557 50.
For prlmiii evidence, 50U copies l,7oU20.

This is only $11,101) 19 less than the pay of
tho Senators for a whole session, including
mileaj'.e nnd stationary, in lStj'J. UctuU'r,
did you ever seo such items of expenses for
a committee sitting only about live contin
uous days. Xot one-fourth of these wit
nesses were examined. Every swindling
charge that was presented by both parlies
was accepted by litis committee nnd or
dered to be paid, it made no ililfercucc
about the amount, und M'Cluro served
eighteen or twenty days, and they p'lid hiii
his salary for the whole session, and paid
him and Gray also extraordinary expenses
each tfJ.oOO. ow, recollect, reader, that
Itoiie.-it man Uuckalew was a member of this
committee, and chairmau, with the con
trolling vote, und he could have checked
this infamous stealing of the public money
if hechonse, by refusing to sanction it, but
did lie do it ?
An honest chairm iti would have said at
once that he would not sanction such
wholesale stealing of tho public funds of
tho State ; and if that would uot have been
sullieient, ho would have refused to serve
in that positiou. Hut did ho do it? If he
did we never heard of it before ; and, there
fore, of course, lie sanctioned it, nud. there
fore, is the most guilty robber of the whole
committee, for ho possesses, to be, and his
friends say ho is au honest mau. We de
ny it, nnd we have adduced the proof in
the above swindling bill of nn investigating
committeo of which hu was a mmuber, iu
session only a few days, and which, vc. ro
peat, is unparalleled in stealings by mem
bers of the legislature.
After such a bill sanctioned by llucka
lew, can any honest man say that he is an
honest man, nnd ought to bo elected Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania ?
We pronounce Mr. Uuekalew a dishonest
and corrupt legislator, and therefore too
dishonest to be clocted Governor of this
Slate, independent of his rebel propensities
during the robclllon.

All Ilanilft Below !"
A fctory is told of a parrot who had al
ways lived on board a ship, but whe escap
ed at one of the Southern ports und took
refuge in a church. Soon nfloi wards tho
con rreg.itiou assembled and the minister
began preaching to them in a regular red
hot fashion, saying that there wns no Vir
tue in them ; that every one of them would
go to hell uuless they speedily repented.
lust ns no spoko the sentence, out spoke
tho parrot from his hiding place :
"All hands below !" ,
To say that "all hands" wcro startlr.d
would bo but a mild way of pulling il. Tho
peculiar voice from its unknown source;
had much more effect upon them than thrj
parson's voice ever had. Ha Waited a mo
ment, nnd then, n shade or two paler, In
repeated the warning.
"All hands below," ngaiti rang out from'
somewhere.
The preacher start'ld frort! his pulp';! and
looked anxiously arouud, inquired if any
one had spoken.
"All bauds below," was the oulv reply;
at which the entire panic-stricken congrega
tion got up, and a momuut al'Lor thy bolt
ed for the doors, the preacher trying his
best to be first, nnd during nil the timu tho
mischievous bird kept up yelling :
"Ail hands below 1"
There was nn old woman there who was
lame, and could uot got out sj fast ns the:
rest, aud in a very short time was left en
tirely nlotie. Just ns she was about to
hobble out the parrot tlew down and nlight
ing on her shoulder, again yelled in her
ear :
"All hands below !"
"Xii, no, Mister Devil," shrieked tho
old woman, "you can't mean me. I don't
belong here ; I go to the other church
across the way !"
USt'LE J.VCKKY AND D.tUY ZliKIEL;
Not a hundred miles from town there
lived two very aged men, who were both
members of the same church. One was
generally known by tho appellation of Un
cle .lackey, the other Daddy Zekiel.
Daddy Zekiel was very deaf, it was witli
great dillieulty that nny one could make'
til til understand what was said to him. He
always took his dram, and would some
times take too much. For this the church'
sent L'nelf .lackey to see him. He fottud
Daddy Zekiel in his chair-shop nt work.
Afler the usual salutations, Uucle Jackcy
commenced his arduous task as follows:
"Well, brother Zekiel, the report has
reached thu church that you have been
taking too much dram 1"
Daddy Z., pointing to a chair, said,
"That is a quarter of a dollar."
"You dou't understand," said Uucle J.
" The church has heard that you have'
been taking too much- dram."
Daddy Z., pointing to another chair naitr
said :
" That kind is worth half a dollar, and
is as sjood a chnir as any tuau can make.
Uncle .lackey, a little irritated, aud speak
i ing ns loudly ns possible, said :
e've hoard ttiat you have drauk too
much drain."
"io, brother .lac key," replied Daddy Z.y
in n tone that indicated his sorrow, " I
haven't got a tlrao, or I would give you a
dram now."
Uncle J.iekey was completely nonpluss
ed, and gave up the job in dispair.
Tiik Uotti.u ok Oil. Onco upou a

house. Ho had servants and everything
he wanted, yet he was not happy, nnd
when Chiugs did not go ns ho wished, ho
was cross. At last his servants left himr
Quito out of temper, hu went to a neighbor
with the story of his distresses.
"It seems to me," said the neighbor, "it
would bo well for you to oil youiaolf a lit

"Yes, and I will explain myself. S imo
time ago, one of the (loots in my house
creaked. Nobody likod to go in or out of
it. Oae day I oiled in Hinges, and it has
been constantly used by everybody since."
"Then you think 1 am like your creak

do you want mo to oil myself ?"
"That's an easy matter, said the neigh
bor. "fi i horn i and engage a servant, and
i when ho d ies right praise him. If, on tha
j contrary, ho does something amiss, do not
