DK. JOHNSTON.
Member of the Royal College of Burgeons, Lon
don, Graduated from one of the most eminent
Colleges In the United States, and the greater
part of whose ifo has been spent la the hospitals
of London, Prls, Philadelphia and elsewhere,
has crkcted some of the most astonishing cures
that were ever known i many troubled with ring
lug iu the head and cars when asleep, great
nervousness, being alarmed at sudden soauds,
bashfulucss, with frequent blushing, uileiided
sometimes wlthderuugementof mind, were cured
immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addiea all those who have lujurrd
Iheiiisulvee by Improper laiiulgeuce and solitary
habitat, which rtliu both body and mind, undtting
them for cither business, study, society or mar
riage. Twkik are some of the aad and uielancholv
ettecta produced by early hubits of youth, vii:
Weakness of the Back aud Limbs, Pains in the
Buck und Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus
cular Power, Palpitation of the Heart, Uyspepsy,
Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Ditfcative
Functions, General Debility, Dyuiptouis of Con
sumption, Vc.
Mentaixt The fearfnl cfTects on the mind
are much to bo dreaded Loss of Memory, Con
fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil
Forcbodiugs, Aversion to Society, Self-Diet mat,
Love of Solitude, Timidity, dtc, are some of the
evils produced.
Thocbands of porsons of all hl'ch ran uow
Judge what Is the cause of their declining health,
losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, arv,.ns
aud emaciated, having a singular appearance
ubout the eyes, cough aud symptoms of consump
tion. YOUNG MEN
Wlio have Injured themselves by a certain prac
tice Indulged In when alone, a habit frequently
learned from evil companions, or at scliaol, the
cllects of which are nightly fait, even when
aeleep, aud if not cured, renders laui i iace iinpoe
sible, aud destroys both mind aud body, should
apply Immediately.
What a pity that a young man, tbe hope of his
country, the darling of his parents, should be
snatched from till prospects and enjoyments of
life, by the consequence or deviating trotn ttio
puth of nature aud Indulging In a certain secret
bubit. Such persons mi'st, before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
relect that a sound mind and bedy are the most
necessary requisites to promote connnbiul happi
ness. Indeed without these, the joarney through
life becomes a weury pilgrimage ; the prospect
hourly darkens to the view j tbe mind becomes
shadowed with dcs'iutir und tilled with the utulau
cboly renecilon, that the happiness uf uuother
becomes blighted with oar own.
A CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of
pleasure Muds that be has Imbibed the seeds of
tbia painful disease, It too often happens that an
Ill-timed seui'e of Bhatue, or dread of discovery,
deuis him fioiu applying to those who, from
e.tuc tiioi und respectability, cau alone befriend
Dim, ilrie vit'g till the constitutional symptoms of
lli.s la: rid c sense make their appearance, auch
it ulveratvd sore throat, diseased nose, aocturul
paiu iu tbe bead aud limbs, diuiuee of sight,
deafness, nodes ou the shin bones und arum,
blotches ou the head, face and extremities, pro
irreegiiiK with frightful rapidity, till at last the
palate of the mouth or the bones of thu uose fall
In, and the victim of this awful disease beeotuea
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to his dreadful sutleriug, by sending
him to "thut Undiscovered Country from whence
uo traveller returns.
It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PKE-
TKMIKKS, who. by thu use of tbut deadly Pol
son. Mercury. Ac. destroy the coustitutlou, and
incapable of curiug, keep the unhappy sufferer
mouth after mouth taking their noxious or In
jurious compounds, and Instead of being restored
to a reuewal of Life Vigor and Happiness, Iu des
pair leave him with ruiucd Health to sigh over
Ins galling disappointment.
To such, therefore, Dr. Johkhton pledges hliu
sslf to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, and
from his extensive practice and observation in
tha great Hospitals of Europe, and the first 1c
this country, vis t Engluud, i ranee, Philadelphia
und elsewhere, is enabled to offer the most cer
taiu, speedy uud elfectual remedy iu the world
for all disease of imprudence.

CREDIT MOMILIER OF AMERICA.
ITS OBISJIN AD HISTORY.
AYe have sevorul tituoa been rpqui'slod to
publish the origin aud early history ot thu
Credit Mobilier, which baa of Into been
making and havoc of great, men's names,
ml huve retrained because the ditlereot
fUtetiii'Ula heretofore made, all claiming
to lie trim, have till differed from each other
in i!UKrUut parttculiii-H. Xhe following,
which we belk ve to be corrvct, wan written
to tlie JNew York itrnid by JknjamiuE.
Urecii, ion oif Geueral Dull Green, with
whom the Credit Mobiher originated :
Washington City, Feb. 1, 187J.
To the Editor of the JItruld:
My RttetiUon has been culled t') the re
port of the remarks of Messrs. Hoyd and
.Smith, in the lVtincylvauirt Constitutional
Convention, in refetence to the Credit Mo
bilier. The former i-aid that thu charter
bad bceu granted by tho legislature t
l'ennsylvuuia for ."i0,MKi, after S3t-MJ,U0O
had been offered lo the Legislature of New
1' oik and 150,000 to the legislature of
New Jersey for auch a charter, but with
out BUccesM. Mr. Smith said the charier,
slock book aiid papers were stolen and
bodily carried to New York when thu com
pany known aa the Credit Mobilier was or
ganized. Neither of these statements is
correct. The truth is as follows :
My father, General llull'Creeti. obtained
the charter of the l'cuusylvauia i'iaeal
Aonoy from tho Jeilntuie of l'cunnyl
vania at the Session of lH.'ijt, and 185!). Not
a dollar, not a cent, was paid, or offered
or promised to any member ot the legisla
ture for the charter. His purpuHO was to
organize a company of American, Mexican
and Eurojiean capitalists, including thu
European holders of Mexican bonds, to
buil I the Si bine and Rio Grande railroad
iu Texas, connecting with the New Orleans
aud Opclousas railroad on the Sabine, and
to extend that road from the Kio Grande
to the City of Mexico and the l'acilic.
The then Governor, W. F, Packer, for
some time hesitated to approve) the act of
incorporation lirst, because of the exten
sive powers granted thereby, and second,
b. cause he doubted my fathct's ability to
accomplish what he proposed by it. Iu
the summer of 185H my father went to Eu
rope, with letters from President .Buchan
an, Setior Mala, then Mexicau Minister at
Washington, aud Souor J-eUory Tejada,
uow President of Mexico. He soon re
turned with written assurances from the
European holders of Mexican bonds, nct
iug through it committee and other capi
talists, statiug that, if Governor Packer
would approve the charter, they would put

On tlio 5th of November, 1359, the com

fall of iSuX) my Uthur weut lo Ne w Orleans
to meet commissioners from thu Mexican
governiueut, and to Texas ou business of
the road. Anticipating that he might
need them at New Orleans or-Austin, he
took with him all thu original books ami
docunicute, which Mr. Smith erroneously
supposes were afterwards "stolen and car
ried bodily to New York," leaving with
Oliver YV. iiaiues, the Secretary of the
Company, in Philadelphia, copies. Thcso
originals still exist, and nru safe iu the
possession o( their proper and lawful cus
todians. In December,' 18tio, my father
having satisfactorily arranged the business
which had taken him to Louisiana and
Texas, returned to Washington ou his way
to Europe, to consummate the above-meu-tioued
agreement with tho parties there.
On reaching Washington he found civil
war imminent. Mr. I.iucoln and my
cousin, Nidian Edwards, had married sis
ters, aud my father held to Mr. Lincoln
relations of intimate personal friendship.
For that reasou he was selected by Presi
dent liuclutuau and Senator Jell' Davis to
bear from them to Mr. Lincoln an iuvita
tiou to come to Washington at once, as
Mr. liuchauau'8 guest, with assurances
that he would bo received ut thu White
House with all the respect aud houors due
him as President-elect, aud that by acting
together tliey could put a stop to the seces
sion movement aud avoid a civil war. Mr.
Lincoln seemed at first eager to accent the
invitation, but afterwards declined, bu
causo Senator lien Wade, of Ohio, opposed
it. The JkruLl of January 1601, con
tained a report of an interview bctwoen a
reporter of that paper and m father on
his return from his unsuccessful mission
Springfield.
AMERICAN
MARCH 1, 1873.
Two or threo years before, tho war my
mother went to (Jeoigia lo pay mo a short
visit, and wns there taken sick. In April,
1801, my father went to Georgia, hoping to
find her sufficiently recovered to return to
Vanhinglon; but as she could not be re
moved, ho decided to remain with her and
postpone ltis visit to Europe and tha
further prosecution of his great enterprise
until the settlement of tlio political dithcul
lies. The Union Pacific Railroad Company
was chartered hy act of Congress, ap
proved 1st ot July, 102. That act fixed
the capital Block of the company at 100,
000,000, and limited the amount of stock
to be held by any one person to $''00,0U0,
thereby holding out tlio idea, that it was to
be a great national enterprise, which could
not be "gobbled up" by a few individuals.
But it was also provided that the company
could bo organized on a subscription of
ii.OOO.OOO and the payment of ten per
cent, theicof, whereby it was placed in the
por.er of 5100,100 lo control the enter
prise. The idea was also beld out to tho
public that the management was to lie en
trusted to men of hi'fh character, such as
Krasltis Corning, Win. 11. O.ijden and oth
ers of like standing. Those gentlemen,
however, relying-on ibis general under
standing, sto'xl back on the diguity of their
characters, waiting lo lie elected by tho
spontaneous acUou of the stockholders,
llut Dr. T. C. Durum had managed to se
cure the requisite proxies to elect himself
as Vice-President, with a board to suit his
purposes; and, to give some character to
the organisation, a large sum was paid to
John A. Dix fur the use of his name as
President of the company. Duraut's next
step was to open u negotiation through
George Francis Tram and Charles M.llall
for the purchase of the charter of tho Penn
sylvania Fiscal Ageucy front Messrs. Ilal
stead, Brooks and Jinnies. But that could
not be done legally, because neither of the
last mentioned hitil any authority to trans
fer my lather's iutercsl, and Mr. llalstead
refused to listen to any arrangement that
did not protect my father's just rights.
Failing in the attempt to purchaso that
charter, etforis were made tooblain it simi
lar one iu Now Y'ork aud New Jersey. I
know nothinsr. exceiit from hearsay, of
S.'WO,000 having been olVered at Albany,
and 5150,000 nt Trenton, as staled by Mr.
Boyd, although I have reason to believe
that in that Mr. IJoyd's statement is cor
rect; blithe is altogether mistaken in say
ing that it was afterwnrds obtained from
the Pennsylvania legislature for 550.000.
That sum was paid to Oliver W. llarues
and Charles M. Hall, and not to any num
ber of the Pennsylvania legislature. It
was not paid us purchase money forthe
charter, out as a bribe to Barnes and flail
for their aid in au attempt to "steal" the
charter, as hereinafter explaiucd.
Iu tbo spring of 10: my father was lying
ill in one room of my house in Georgia and
my mother in another. About that timu
the death of my cousin, Mr. Dull' Green, of
Fairmount, Virginia, was announced, and
it was generally supposed that my father
was dead. Templed by an oiler of 850,OUO,
and perhaps emboldened by the idea of my
nulicr'a dcntli. Hurtles und Jtlall were in
duced, on May 'J'.i, lStill, to fabricate false
and fraudulent papers purporting to be
"minutes of the proceedings of the com
missioners named in the act to incoi pontic
the Pennsylvania Fiscal Agency," and a
"ccrtilicate" of pretended subscriptions
to the capital stock of the Pennsylvania
Fiscal Agency.
On the 1st of Juno. l(Vl, Bin es "af
firmed" before James McCahen, an Alder
man of Philadelphia, that these fraudulent
"minutes" were "correct." On these
fabricated papers nud false utVirmation, by
deceitfully concealing the previous bonn jide
organization of the company by the com
missioners in NovetnU r. 1850, letters pa
tent, dated June 1. 1st;:, were obtained
from Governor A. G. Curtin, purporting
to "create und erect the subscrila-Ts (i. o.,
those named in said fabricated papers) into
ono bodv politics jaud corporate, by thu
name, style and title of the Pennsylvania
Fiscal Agency."
Thrsu pretended letters patent were then
turned over by Barnes and liall to the
Dutaiit-Dix party in Now York. They
were obtained by fraud practiced on Gov
ernor Cui tiu, who doubtless signed them
inadvertently, in the usual course of busi
ness, aud in the coulidence which every
Governor of a Stale must necessarily re
pose iu his official subordinates, whose bus
iness it is to prepare papers for his signa
ture. But thov were a mere nullity, tlurc
being no law authorizing their issue. They
could have uo c fleet whatever ou the pre
viously vested rights of th stockholders
under the organization of ISo'.l.
By a subsequent act of the Legislature,
approved 20th March, ISOt, tho nanus of
tho "Pennsylvania Fiscal Agency" was
changed to the "Credit Mobilier of Amer
ica." My supposition is that the chief if
not the only object of this change oi name
was to prevent inquiries being made by
Messrs. llalstead. Brooks, Stephen Colweil
and others, who, if they should happen to
hear of the ojieratioiis of the Pennsylvania
Fiscal Agency, would ask awkward ques
tions, but would never suspect that the
great Credit Mobilier of America, which
was building tho Union Pacific Railroad,
claimed thu "franchises, powers, lights,
privileges" of their old Pennsylvania Fis
cal Agency.
I am happy to inform you that my father
is not dead, as you stated a few day since.
At the age of eighty-two his mind is as
clear, his eye us bright and his hand-writing
as steady as they were forty years ago.
He is now President of tbe lawful and gen
uino Credit Mobilier of America, whose of
ficers are William llalstead, Treasurer;
Benjamin E. Green, Secretary; Samuel R.
Brooks, Jacob Zeigler and John Rice, Di
rectors, with ono vacancy, caused by the
death of Stephen Colweil.
Tho Durant-Ames-Alley Ciodit'Mobilier
is a bogus concern, originating in fraud
and bused ou fabricated pajiers, falsely
"affirmed" to bo correct, by which the
charter was not stolen, as stated by Mr.
Smith, but only attempted to bo stolen.

A curtain drawn across tho door of the
tent (writes a traveler in Algeria) concealed
the bride, who, closely veiled, sat within,
surrounded by women. On tho outside be
tween four and five hundred people were
collected, and n clear space tvns kept in I he
middle lor tha dancers by two men with
drawn swords, who vigorously annlied.
right and left, tbe fiat of the blade to all
who pressed too forward. On one side Of
the ring squalled tho band, consisting of
two men with instruments liko tlageoloU
nud a drummer who occasionally accom
panied tho music with his voice.
In the cent ro was a middle-aged woman,
dressed in Ihe usual dark blue cotton gar
ments, but decked with all her ornaments
enr-rings, bracelets and necklace to
which sundry charms and amulets, teeth
of wild beasts, verses of the Koran sewn up
in little bags, and various odds and cuds,
considered as protections from the evil eye,
were suspended; a large circular brooch of
silver or white metal the same in form as
those used by Scotch Highlanders con
fined the loose folds across her bosom, and
a small looking-glass dangled conveniently
at the end of a siring of sittlieienl length to j
allow of her admiring her charms in de- I
tail. Her face was uncovered, and her 1
features were harsh aud disagreeable, ex-
cept the eyps, which were large and ex
pressive, with that peculiar lustrous up-1
pearauce given by the use of a mineral 1
paint. Her feet were hardly visiblo from i
the lengtii of her dress, and her finger- i
nails, together with the palms of her hands,
were stained with henna. As soou as we
had taken our stands in the front row, the '
music, which had ceased for a few minutes,
struck up, aud the lady in the midst com
menced her performance. j
Inclining her head languiahingly froru ,
side to side, she beat time with her feel, 1
raising each foot alternately from the 1
ground with a jerking actiou, ns if she had
lieeu standing on a hot floor, at the same t
time twisting about her body .villi n slow '
movement of the hands and arms. Several !
others succeeded her, and danced iu the
same style, with 8n equal want of grace..!
A powerful inducement tocxert themselves
was not wanting, for ono of them more
than once received some tolerably severe
blows, both from a slick and the llat of a
sword; what the reason was I do not
know, but suppose that either shu was
lazy or danced badly.
While the dancing w:ts going on, the
spectators were not idle; armed with guns,
pistols, and blunderbusses with enormous
bell mouths, an irregular lire was kept up.
Advancing a slep or f.vo into tlie circle, so
as to show off before the whole party, an
Arab would present his weapon at a friend
opposite, throwing himself into .1 graceful
attitude; then suddenly-dropping tiie muz
zle at tho iustant of puliing the. trigger, the
charge struck the ground close to the feet
of tho person aimed at. After each report
the women set up a long-eonliuued, shrill
cry of "lu-lu, lu-ltt," and the musicians re
doubled their etl'orls. The advance of one
man is usually the signal firothers to come
forward at the same time, nil anxious to
surpass their friends or neighbors in dex
terity and grace. 'JVn or a ilozcu men be
ing crowded iu a small space, sometimes
not more than six IVel wide, brandishing
their arms and excited by the mimic com
bat, filing often at random, it is not to be
wondered at if accidents happen occasion
ally tot!ve actors or to thu bystanders.
How to (Jet Hid ok Rats. Captain
S. kept a hotel in the village of M., which
the. hotel, not the village was noted for
its poor accommodations aud meagre fare.
One day a traveler came, along, called for
supper, partook without complaint of tho
slender repast set before him, paid tho half
dollar which the captain demanded, and
went on his way rejoicing, perhaps. So
far nothing remarkable. But in about a
week the Iravulcr did what lew ever did
during the captain's reign he came a sec
ond lime and put up for the night. I u the
evening, ns is usual in small towns, a
crowd gathered around the bar-room tiro
conversing upon various subjects, when
the captain liegau to complaiu of rats.
They were the pest of his life, ho said, and
he would give anybody five dollars yes,
ten if they would tell hi 111 a sure way of
getting rid of them.
A dozen remedies were immediately sug
gested by the loungers. One prescribed
poison; another suggested traps; another
ra -terriers; while the fourth thought the
best way was lo singo one) and let him go
to scare the rest into vacating Hie premises.
But.no; the captain had tried all theso
methods in vain. The. rats scorned poison,
avoided the traps and whipped the tetrier.
As for tho singeing process, the captain re
minded the pronmlgatoa of thai brilliant
idea that old Mrs. Glass' recipe for dressing
a bare comiiteuceil with the important
item. 'tirst catch your hare;' and in this
case it seemed uecessary lo lain much in
t tie same way. The traveler be tore men
tioned spoke at this juncture.
'If you will give mo ten dollar, sir,'
said he lo tbe landlord, 'I'll fell vou how
to get rid of your rats w ithout fail.'
'I'll do it, air! I ll do it,' said the cap
tain, joyfully.
After handing the traveler tho money,
who insisted ou receiving it before imput
ing the secret, he continued:
'Now, then, air, what is your remedy for
these a-stHi"
'Well, air, perhaps you remember that I
came along here and took supper with you
about a week ago'''
'Yes, air.'
'And you charged me fifty cents?'
'Yes, sir; that is 111 v regular price. But
what has this t j do with rats?'
'I'm coming to it. 1 paid you for my
supper, didu't IV
'Yes.'
Well, then, nil I've got to say is, just
set such a miserably poor supper before
your rats as you set before me, mid charge
them fifty cents it head for it, and, my
word for it, they won't stand it; they'll
leave the house iu disgust, and never coma
back.'

Many people go without thesu littlo garden
things, because they are n long distance
away from thu place where tho plants ftre
sold; or because they don't want the trou
ble to make a bed lo raise seeds of such
plants when they want but a few dozen of
each kind. But where this is tho case all
one needs may be raised in a bos of earth
in the kitchen window, or nny part of the
bonne where there is light and a very littlo
Warmth. ,
This is often done with tho tomnto, bub
the cabbage can be raised in tho same
way, or even better, for the tomato must
be always secure from the frost, while a
little of this wii! not allvct the young plant
or seed of the cabbflgo. Of the early cab
bage few people want more than 25 or 50,
and a ten-cent paper and a box about it

they may be sown at once in this way.
