This Distressing Affection which renders, Life

Member of the Royal College of Sureeons. Lon
don, Graduated from one of the most eminent
Colleges In the United States, and tha greater
part of whose Ife ha been spent In the hospitals
of London, Pris, Philadelphia and elsewhere,
haa effected some of the most astonishing cures
that were ever known ; many troubled with ring
ing in tne neaa ana ears wnen asieep, great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds,
bashfulneaa, with frequent bluslilnir. attended
sometimes with derangement of mind, were cared
immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addressee all those who hava Injnrrd
themselves by improper indulgence and solitary
habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfitting
them for either business, study, society or mar
riage. Tkisb are some of tha sad and melencholv
effects produced by early habits of youth, viz :
vteaxnessor tne Back ana Limos, rains in tne
Hack and Head, Dimness or eight. Loss of Mus
cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsy,
nervous irritability, uerangement ol ihticttive
functions, uenorut uemuty, ssympioms or con

Mentally The fearful effects on tha mind
are much to be dreaded Losa of Memory, Con
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil
Forebodings, Avorsion to Society, belf-Distrust,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, Ac. are some of tho
evils produced.
Thousand of persons of all aces can now
judge what is the cause of their declining health,
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous
and emaciated, having a singular appearance
abont the eyes, cough aud 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 at school, the
effects of which are nightly felt, even when
asleep, aud If not cured, render 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 tha
path of nature and indulging in a certain secret
habit. Such persons srrsT, befors contemplating
MARRIAGE.
reflect that a sound mind and body are tha most
necessary requisite to promote connubial happi
ness. Indeed wlthont theee, the Journey through
Ufa becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prospect
bonrly darkons to the view the mind becomes
shadowed with despair and filled with the melan
choly refiection, that the happiness of another
uecumca aiignted with ourown.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the miegnldea imprudent votary of
pleasure finds that ha haa ImDlfc the seeds of
this painful disease, it too often happens tu
ill-timed sens of shame, or dread of discovery,
deters bim from applying to thoe who, from
education and respectability, can alone befriend
him, delaying till tha constitutional symptoms of
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
aa ulcerated sort throat, diseased nose, noctnral
pains In tha head aad 11m be, dimness of sight,
deafness, nodes on tha a bin bona and arms,
blotches on tha head, fao and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last the
palate of the mouth or tha bones of the nose fall
in, and tha victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of ootnmiaeratlon, till death puts
a period to his dreadful suffering, by sending
him to M that Undiscovered Country from whence
no traveller returns."
It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to thl terrible disease, through falling
Into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE
TENDERS, who, by tha us of that deadly Poi
son, Mercury, Ac., destroy tha constitution, and
incapable of curing, keep tba unhappy sufferer
month after month taking their noxious or in
jurious compounds, and Instead of being restored
to a renewal or Lire Vigor and Happiness, in des
pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh over
bis galling disappointment.
To ssieh, therefore, Dr. JoBKtroM pledge him
self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, nod
from hi extensive practice and observation In
the great Hospitals of Europe, and toe first In
this country, via t England, France, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, la enabled to offer the moat cer

came the subject of Congressional inquiry.
.Smith came on to Washington and was ex
amined. The ComuiitUie did not got much
comfort out of his answers. They asked
him if he had locked up Ave million of dol
lars in greenbacks. JIa frankly said he
had. They asked bim why he did it. He
freely acknowledged that he did it to make
mouey by the operatiou, and wanted to
know what the committee intended to do
about it. Without answering, the mem
bers of the committee asked what right he
had to lock up that amount of money.
Then he gntar.gry,and told them that it was
none of their business ; that tho money was
his own aud he could do with it as he
liked ; and it whs about this time that the
committee found they had made a mistake.
Smith collected about tifty dollars witness
fees, and returned to New York, and that
was the last of the investigation. A gen
tleman who was also before the committee
said, subsequently, that .Smith tictunlly
carried tho $5,1X10,000 on his person for two
days. The liuing of his overcoat was filled
with pockets, and into these the money was
slowed.
Smith is about thirty-five or thirty-eight
years old, short of stature, slight of frame,
and red of hair. Tho latter he cuts close,
aud his whiskers a 2a miliUiire, or mutton
chop, with moustache. His name is not
Henry M. nor Henry N. Smith, but Nor
man Henry Smith. Ho is a native of Tio
ga, Pa., a little village which is shut out
with charming grace from the outside
world by a circle of hills, which in fall pre
sents an unchanging appearance that
clings to one's memory forever. In this
pretty little village, this monster operator
was born, and here he is called to this day
plain Tom Smith, a nickname he got w lien
a baby. It is nothing against Tom that ue
spent his young days about as other village
boys do, and it is nothing against him that
ho learned the shoemaker's "trade, and was
an excellent workman. It is said there
that Tom Smith can make tho best "fine"
boot of and mau in America.
A love scrape, if I am correctly inform
ed, drove him from his hammer and lap
stone, and took him to ISuflalo a year or
two beforo the war. While there heat
tended a course of instruction in one of tho
"liusiucss Colleges" which wero so com
mon then. From this he ojierated in Buf
falo in a small way, going tinally to Alba
ny. He could uot, remain long in such a
place, and he turned his eyo toward New
York.
His career as a money-maker is without"
parallel in history. It would be idle to es
timate his wealth, for to-day it might le
twenty millions, and to-morrow ten. He
is called tho successor of Jim Fisk, but
that would be au insult to him. He pos
sesses the same reckless daring, but hn
brought to his experience a keener nod
more deliberate judgment aud intelligence
than Fisk had.
lb-sides, he has none of the "fast"' qual
iltics which Fisk possessed. He has uo
desire to display his wealth ostentatiously
ho does not caro to build an opera house
that he may have the privilege of the grceu
room, and is not likely to run a line of
steamers merely to bliow himself at the
head of a regiment at the cost of thousands
of dollars, lie lives as becomes a very
wealthy man ; and owns a number of the
best horses that money can buy merely for
his own driving. He has considerable
money invested in real estate, in his native
town, where he has provided handsomely
for his father and mother.

Washington Dec. 2. The Treasury
report says that a necessity exists for a new
issue of national bank notes. The Secre
tary exonerate Assistant Treasurer Hill
house from neglect of duty in the stamp
division of the Assistant Treasury of New
York. The Secretary again recommend
tho passAge of a bill to amend and con
solidate navigation and the custom collec
tion law of tho United States.
As the leading pursuits of country are
now stronger than ever before in the pos
session of adequate capital and a supply of
intelligent laborers, mere may De a nioU
crate reduction from time to time in the
rate of duties as the diminising expenses
of Goverment shall permit, without either
alarming capital of injuring labor.
He says the circulation of the banks
should be fixed and limited and that pow
er to change the volume of paper In cir
culation within the limits established by
law should remain in the Treasury Depart
ment. A degree of tlexibility in the volume
of currency is essentia for two reason;
first, the business of the department can
not be transacted properly if a limit ia
fixed and the power to raise the circulation
above or reduce it below that limit is denied.
Secondly, there i a necessity every au
tumn for moving the crop without delay
from the South and West to the seaboard
that they may be in hand for export and
consumption aa wanted. The problem i
to llnd a way for increasing the currency
for moving the crops and diminishing it at
once when that work is done.
The is a necessary work, and Inasmuch
as it cannot be confided to the banks the
Eower should bo reposed iu the Treasury
K-partment.
Believing that the country is not pre
pared to sustaiu the policy of contraction,
the Secretary considers the means by which
the value of our currency may be improved.
The basis of a policy of improvement must
be found lu a sturdy refusal to add to the
paper in circulation until it Is of the same
value essentially a coin.
This boiu; accepted as the settled pur
pose of the country there can be uo per
manent increase of the difference between
paper and coin, and ao opportunity will bo
given for the influence of natural causes,
lending upon tne whole to a better finan
cial condition. All legislation limited in
its operation to tb paper Issues of the
Government, whether bearing interest or
not and which in its etl'ecL shall tend to
diminish' the market value of coin will b
found, upon analysis, to contain a plan for
contracting the volume of paper currency,

and all legislation so limited which does
not contain such a plan will prove inef-
lectuai.
The Secretary, without proceeding to the
discussion of the eeueral subject of resum
ing specie payments, thiuks all will have
been gained that is of value when the
'-treasury shall lie orenared to nav the d.
matid notes of the Government in coin. aud
tho banks shall be prepared to pay their
note either in coin or legal-tender notes,
and then our good fortune will clearly ap
pear iu this that our paper currency is
not exclusively oi national Dang notes, nor
exclusively oi unupu states notes.
(From the Woman' Department of the Sunday
nepuuiiCij
Female Iitebrlatc.
A gentleman writes us that he think
me taea oi naving nospiuiia lor lemale tne
briates is absurd, and believes our asser
tion that the vice of drunkenness prevails
to a great extent amongst womeu in good
society to be altogether falsa and sensa
tional. He aaks : "Do you of your own personal
knowledge know of one single instance
where a well-bred and intelligent woman
has became a slave to the demoralizing
vice of intoxication ?"
Yes, several. Within the past two weeks
a beautiful and refined girl of twenty years
told us that she inherited an appetite for
strong drink which she could no mora
control than she could the wind. That be
fore alio was ten years old she bad stolen
from her father' wino closet and secreted
a (ive-gallou demijohn of whiskey aud had
drank every drop it contaiued before being
discovered.
Sim added : "After the guests had been
entertained at night and the house was
closed and all ils inmates had returned, I,
a little frighteued child, would leave my
bed and go prowling through the parlor
and dining-room in search ot the decanters,
and if I failed to find tbem, trembling in
the darkness, would drain to the last drop
the liquor thnt had beeuleftin the glasses."
We have seen many beautiful women,
but tho unfoUunate girl who told us this
story was the loveliest one we ever saw, in
mind aa well as person, aud yet she was
just recovering from a spell of illness, in
winch she came near dying, caused by ex
cessive indulgence in strong drink.
She told me that before her illness she
could drink half a bottle of brandy, whisky
or gin, and yet give uo evidence of intoxi
cation. When we saw her, after six weeks of ex
treme sull'ering, her longing after the ac
customed stiiuulcnts wero painful to wit
ness. Seeing a botlio of brandy which was
being used by another person as medicine,
she went to its owner aud besought that it
might bo hhldeu away, for she said "1 de
sire to be honorable, but seeing it I cannot
much longer restrain my appetite ; I shall
go mad if I do not get it.
This young lady, who nua taken Aoui a.
fashionable boarding house when at tho
point of death by a dear friend of her own
and nursed to life, has so litilo chance of
overcoming the appetite, that our friend
says: "Whilst doing everything iu my
power to restore thu poor child, I have
prayed upon my bended knee that God
might take her homo to hiuiHulf. An or
phan aud a beau'y, exposed to all the
temptations of a l.tre city. I can see noth
ing before her but ruin and social ostra
cism." This is an extreme but by no means an
unpnrallclled case, though it is the saddest
ouo iu our expeneuce.
We wish our readers to believe that in
this department wo never aim to create
sensations ; we neither tunuufaeture nor
color auy fact we publish here, although
wo sometimes suppress incidents calculated
to identify the persons alluded to, and some
times change dates and localities.
Our experience of twenty-live years,
partly as editor and publisher of papers
devoted to the interests of woman aud
partly as contributer and reporter for sev
eral leading weeklies and dailies, brought
to our knowledge many interesting facts
and startling histories.
Thus we feel that we have a perfect
right to use whenever we think it necessary
to "point a moral."
To demonstrate a truth by illustration hi
better, we epine, than any more assertion
could be, and so even, at the risk of being
deemed sensational, we shall continue to
draw upon our memory, but never upon
our imagination for our facts.
The gentleman who doubt that well-bred
American women ever do become inebri
ate, adds : "If this demoralizing rice has
really become habitual amongst our women
it is certainly due to the greater liberty of
thought and action that, iu these degener
ate days, is accorded theui." With this
d'.ctum we do uot altogether agree, but
think the hurry aud progress of the age
induces nervous disorders in women as well
as men, which are temporally forgotten iu
stimulants or allayed by narcotic. Women
are truly allowed more freedom of thought
than ever before, but have scarcely more
liberty of action thuu in thn dark ages.
Society permits the education of the fe
malo brain to a certain extent, but as a rule
prohibits thu education of female baud or
tho useful and profitable occupation of the
iu tolled.
Henco the mind becomes restless aud dis
satisfied, and seeks in forbiddeu directions
the wholesome and legitimate excitement
which useful occupation alone can supply,
aud which every reasonable being has a
right to demand.
Failing, this, some women take to win
or opium to kill time and thought. At
leact this i our theory about this "manly"
womankind.

John Bay, the temperance lecturer, in
one of bis eliorts, got oil the following hard
hit at "moderate drinkers: "
"All those whoin youth acquired a habit
of drinking whisky, at forty years will bo
toUl abstainers or drutikards. No purBon
can use whisky for years with moderation.
If there is a person in the audieuco before
me whose experience disputes tbis, let him
mako H known, I will account for it or
acknowledge 1h.m mistaken."
A tall, lurie man arose, and folding bis
arms across his breast, said:
"I offer myself as ouo whoei) cxperienoe
contradicts your statements."
"Are you a moderate drinker?" asked
the judge.
"I am."
"How long have you drank In modera
tion?" "Forty yeais."
"Aud were never intoxicated?"
'Never."
"Well," remarked the Judge, scanoiog
his subject from head to loot, "yours is a
singular case, yet I think it is easily ac
counted for. I am remiuded by It of a lit
tle story. A colored mau with a loaf of
bread and a bottle of whiskey sat down ti
dine in the banks of a clear stream.
breakiug the bread he dropped some crumbs
into the water. They were eagerly seised
and eaUn by Uie fish. That sircuraslam
suggested to the darkey the idea of dipping
the bread iuto the whiskey aud feediug it
to them. He tried it. It worked well.
Some of the fish ate it aud became drunk
and tloalcd helplessly on the surface. In
thia way he easily caught a lartie number.
But in thi stream was a large fish very un
like the rest. It partook freely of the
bread and whisky, with no percentable ef
fect. It was shy of every uffort of the
darkey to lake it. lie resolved to take it
at all hazards, that he might learn its name
and nature. He procured a uot, aud alter
much effort caught the tiah, carried it to a
colored neighbor, and asked his opiniou of
the matter. The other surveyed the won
der a moment, and then said :
"Sambo, I understand dis case ; dis fish
is a mullet head ; it ain't got any brains."
"In other words," added the Judge, "alco
hol affects only tbo brains, and of course

The DKLUtiE. A Confirmation of t'te
Bible Story from Chalduiv Soircts.'i
have received from the accomplished disco
verer, Mr. George Smith, of the British
Muscm, the subjoined most interesting ac
count of the record of the deluge, which,
as we announced a day or two ago, he has
lately deciphered from the Assyrian monu
ments :
"The cuneiform inscriptions which 1
have re.ccui.ijf r..j .,i truusUted gives a
loni; and full account of the xja.u. i.
contains the version of traJition of this
event which existed in the early Chaldean
period at the city of Erech (oue of the cities
of Nimroil), now represented by the ruin
of Warka. In this newlv discovered in
scription the uccouut of the Deluge is put
as a narrative into the mouth of Xisuthrus
or Noah. He relates tho wickedness of the
world, the command to build the ark, its
building, the filliug of it, tho Deluge, the
resting of tho ark on the tuouuUin, the
sending out of the birds and otlu-.r matters.
The narrative has a closer resemblauco to
the account transmitted by the Greeks
from Borosus, the Chaldean historian, than
to the Biblical history, but it does not dif
fer materially from either. The principal
differences aro as to the duration of the
Deluge, the uarue of the mountain on which
the ark rested, the sending out of the birds,
tc. The cuneiform account is much longer
and tuller than that of Burosus, and
has several detail omitted both by the Bi
ble and the Chaldean historian. This iu
scripliou opens up many questions of which
we kuew uolhing previously, and it ia con
nected with a number of other details of
Chaldean history which will be both inter
esting aud important. This is the first
time anv inscription has been found with
! an accouut of an event mentioned In Gene-
U." Xondon Tikorafh.

Chicken Jelly. For chicken Jelly,
take a large chicken, cut it up into small
i pieces, bruise the boues, aud put the whole
! into a stone jar with a cover that will make
j it water tight. Set the jar iu a large ket
tle of boiliug water, aud keep it boiliug
for three hours. Then straiu off the li
quid, and season it slightly with salt, pep
per, and mace, or with loaf sugar aud le
inou juice, according to the taste of the
person for whom it is intended, iieturn the
fragments of the chicken to the jar, aud
set it again iu a kettle of boiling water.
You will fiud that you can collect nearly
as much jelly from the second boiling.
This Jelly may be made of an old fowL
