American traveler, Bayard Taylor, delivers his

BIGAHY.—A Black Republican from up the
country, who evidently believes in the largest pos
sible liberty for the colored population, came to
this city some time ago, and after flourishing about
for a time on “ shape and talent,” wooed and won
the afl'eciions of a. weneh, whom he married. Yes
terday a warrant- was issued for his arrest on a
charge of bigamy, and to-day he is rusticaziag in
jail, ruminating on the uncertainty of things. His
name is Anderson, and it appeared in evidence be
fore Justice Reader that he has another wife re
siding somewhere up the river.
Comma—lt is intimated that some of the Wide
Awake Cluhs are coming hereto the inauguration
of Curtin. This will be the first inauguration of :1.
Governor in Peunsylvneia by political clubs——
heretofore the military without distinction of party
having attended to the display part of the busi
ness. While they are about it,could they not send
on to Baltimore, where the political chibs origin».
ted, and bring on the Blood. Tuba, armed with pag
ging awls, and the Plug Uglies, armed with bob
tail pistols? Why not carry out the programme
fully at- once?
in Town. --Our friend Kennedy L. Blood, one of
the immortal six Democratic Senators left us, was
in town over Sunday, at the Buehler House.—
Kennedy is among those Democrats who were
never born to die, and ho will come down from the
Wild Cat district. next winter firmer in the faith
than ever, and with a full determination to stand
by Democratic men and measures for all time to
come. It is gratifying to see him Sn full of hope
for the future. Like us, he thinks that past expe—
rience proves that the. Opposition triumph will he
short-lived.
Cnnxsn-‘s Miss-rm“.s.—’lhere is .1 promising.
pmspeet of a very full house at Brant’s Hall this
evening, to hear and see the famous Christy Min
strels. The fame of George Christy is almost
world-wide, having been identified with negro
melodies and burnt cork operas ever since they
became an institution. We have had. Sanford,
Ramsey 4-. Newcome,and one or two other troupes
of less pretensions, but we have the Christy party
now for the first time, and will be enabled tojudge
which is the best—at least such as profess to be
critics. It is to be hoped that there will be a
strong turn out to welcome them.
TAKING Com.——A“cold” is not necessarily, says
the Scientific American, the result. of low or high
temperamye. A person may go directly from a hot
bath into a. cold one, or into snow even, and not
take cold. 0:: the contrary, he may take cold by
yunring at “mph 0f tablespoonfvl of water upon
some part. Of his dress, or by standing in a door, or
other opening; When: one part. of the body is
colder than another. Let it be kept in mind thist
uniformity 0f temperature over the whole body is
the first thing to be looked after. It is the un
equal heat upon the difiercntl;ans of the body that
produces colds, by disturbing ”10 uniform circula
tion of some part.
If you must keep a partially wet garment on, it
would be as well perhaps to wet the whole or it
uniformly. The feet are a great source of cohls
on account of the variable temperature they are
subjected to. Keep these always dry and warm,
and avoid draughts of air, hot or cold, wet spots
on the garments, and other direct. causes of un
“lnl temperature, and keep the system braced up
5? Nonty of sleep, and the eschewing of debilita
the food and drinka,and you will be preofngainet
a cold and its results;

3 Tar: “lemma—There he goes—tottering along
l with a budget upon his back. His body is bent
: with years and covered with filth; and in a few
5 days it will forever in its narrow cell be laid, and
l his bundle tossed over the hedge—for who would
l wish to fall heir to the rags of the traveling mendi
l cant? Good. With the declining sun that sets
E over the rude grave of the vagrant all recollection
}of him passes away. And why should it not 3’"
l 1185 he not been a homeless, honseless wanderer for
years—going up, down, and across the country:
! quietly and unobtrusively—inking the (“585‘ cmet
: Without a, murmur, and submitting to £ll5 39731-9“
' privations without complaint? Then why should
; we tax our memory to remember him 3‘
g 50m]! Let us forget him, for it was probably
‘ his last. wish um we should do ao—but oh I frail
g man, let. us not forget that he was flesh of our flesh,
S and blood ofour blood—~thatbeneath his ragged coat
there beat a heart the same as beneath any made of
broadcloth; and, alghough misfortune and misery
were his companions through life, he, too, had an
l immortal soul which will, in all probability, have
" loss to answer'for at thcjudgment bar of God than
‘ thousands who would spit upon the beggar and A
l spurn him from their door. Therefore, oh! crring ‘
man, let us be charitable. Let us hides. multitude of
sins under that cloak, for who knows what a day
may bring forth 1’ You see the vagrant as he walks
along, but you know not his history. Who knows
but what he startcd out with the fairest prospects
in life, or who can tell but what he may once have
been a. man of standing and influence? Certainly
he never commenced the world as a. vagrant, nei
ther did he become one in after years through
choice—there is always one first grand cause. Let
us not for one moment deny that nine out of every
ten of these peramhnlating outcasts have reached
the goal of misery and degradation through the
honton path of intemperanco. With some it is ap~
petite, with others nucurhed passion, and with oth
ers again disease; but with_all a. misfortunate,
which, alas! too many of us are prone to look
upon as a crime—unless, unfortunately, we are not
proof against the snares of the tempter who comes
in so many pleasant guises to; draw our frail harks
into the terrible maelstrom.
How many of these ragmnts have felt the warm
caress of a mother, and departed from home with a
father’s blessing? Aye, how many whose early
prospects in life were just as bright as yours, rea
der? Step by step they went down until, like per—
turbed spirits, they are doomed to wall: thr; earth
“until the liberal hour which lays the beggar by
the side of kings." Today the sun shines as
brightly for the vagrant as it does for you, and he
breathes the same air you do, but while your heart
is light, and beats high with hope for the future,
his is dead to the world, because the man has been
merged into the mere machine with no aim—no ob
ject—no ambition—nothing but, the animal wants
to gratify.
Hundreds like him sleep in every alms-honse
burial ground—hundreds have quietly dropped
into their narrow cells whose. history is finwrit
ten and unknown, and will forever remain a
sealed mystery until the final trump of the arch
angel shall wake their “sheeted relics” from the
dead.
A short time ago we strolled up the bank of the
river about sunset. The mellow flood of fading
light in the west was pouring down upon the pla
cid bosom of the noble old Susquehanna, and there
' was just breeze enough to fan it without rippling
‘ it. On the outskirts of the city, under a. shade
} tree, we found one of these miserable masses of
humanity done up in rags. There was something
about him which attracted our attention, and we
gave him a scrutinizing look, but he fought ex:
eeedingly shy. We accosted him kindly, and at
last, after taking a. seat by the side of him, we
managed to engage him in conversation. In an
swer to the question what countryman are you,he
replied a Russian, but had served in the army of
France. When? During the Wars of Napoleon.
How old are you? .S'ercntyjhur. Have you any
proof beyond your word that you were in the
campaigns of Napoleon? Yes— and he exhibited
two gun-shot wounds in his legs,and several sabre
outs on his shoulders and arms. “Butlhave more,”
said he, and from among his rags, next to his
heart, he drew a dirty piece of muslin which he
nervously unrolled, and taking out a piece of
greasy parchment he carefully unfolded it. Grasp
ing it tightly on each side, he held it up before us,
and hissed between his teeth “ war-r-r.” We could
not read French, but from the words “ Emperour,”
“ Jenna,” “ Austerlitz,” and the final “ Napoleon}:
we concluded that it was either a discharge or a.
certificate of merit. As the old vagrant’s eyes
rested upon the document, they suddenly became
brilliant, his face apparently changed its form,
every vein and muscle in it standing out in bold A
relief, and he commenced singing one of the old
triumphal military marches of the Emperor. “Vii-c 1
la Emperear 1” shouted the veteran, and he fell
upon his side, weeping like a child, and in this j
condition we left, him. Is it any wonder that a ,1
shade of sadness passed through our mind at the ‘
sight? There lay the man who hiul been amid the 1
thunders of artillery, fire, smoke, blood and car— i
huge, in the battles of Wagram, Ansterlilz, Jenna. ‘
and others, a miserable vagrant, covered with filth
and vermin, oi the age of '74 years !
Reader, deal leniently with the vagrant, for you
know not his history.
THE Hmmccamu’ 0F l’mzmvns AT FAIRS.—
Seveml cf our Western cotemporaries are very se
vere on the humbuggerry of giving premiums at.
fairs, in consequence of placing persons on the
committees who are almost totally ignorant of the
matters on which they are to decide. Some Of {llO
hits would suit very well the fairs which are given
in this vicinity. We will permit the editor of the
Wisconsin Patriot to ventilate himself for our
benefit:
“ Ten yards of home-made flannel, received an
award sl,and a. few cut flowers gathered from our
gardens, and not raised by the exhibitor, received
several dollars—s6o were awarded to equestrian
displays, while but 313 rewarded the most skillful
Plowing. Now, if horseback riding is of so much
more interest than plowing, in an agricultural
point of View, let farmers give un the letter, and
educate their guns and daughters solely to the use
of the saddle. These are but- a few of the errone
ous awards which have given rise to complaint.—
They are such as we would guard against in future
fairs; and we deem ita good time now to talk
over the matter, that the cause of complaint may
not arise again.” ‘
Several years ago, aided by two at three others,
we made experiments by changing the ownel’s
names on articles on exhibition at a. county fair,
for the express purpose of aseermining whether
judges ever were biased in their decisions.—
The experiment. was satisfactory—we entrapped
two parties who were anxious to award premiums
to their friends, regardless of the merits of the ar
ticles they had on exhibition. It is this part of
the system which has the largest share in pinying
out county fairs.
Em-rmcu'r.——The Eiutracbt Singing Association
will give a party at their hall, in Chestnut street,
on Monday evening next. There will be the usual
muiiue of attractive amusements, including vocal
and instrumental music and dancing. In fiddi-'
film: the best. of refreshments will be served up.—
It is merely necessary for us to mention that the
Einlracht will have a. party, as the pleasure-seek
ers of our city know in advance what will be the
nature of it. The. tickets willbe placed at a price
within the ranch of everybody.
Tim Fmsxnsnm BALL.—Things are working..—
There is now no longer a. shadow of doubt about
the Friendship ball on Thursday evening next. be
igg a. complete triumph. 'The managers are loa—
ving nothing undone to render it the best as well
as the first hall of the season: A large number of
invitation! have been issued, and if only half aL
tcnd who now promise so to do, the asswxblage
will be very gay. Au anticipated crowd, however,
need keep no one away, as Brunt/s Hall is large,
and ample preparations will be made for any emer
gency that may arise froxn numbers.
Pun»; Pam-L-ammn—JWe always make it a. point
when coming up Market street to drop into the
drug store of William! Loeffler, at, the corner of
l-‘uurth street; to see his aquarium, his rattle
snakes, and enjoy a chat on current topics. Yes
terday we fmmd him submerged in perfumerym
soaps, extracts, £212., 1%., of which he wasj‘ast 09°11-
ing a large lot fresh from the importer and manu
facturer. The sweet scents of roses and posiesl
dafl'udowndillies, frying-pnnni, and other smells
made the shop air redolent, and for a time a very
pleasant abiding place. Locmer drives a large
trade in the cdsmetic line, because he has every
article on hand you can call for, and sells at almost
starvation low prices.
Gov. PACKER AND MAJDR M’lmn:.\'s¥-——A Pitts
hurg paper states that, Gov. Packer refuses to in
terfere in the case of Major M’llhenny,imprisoned
in default of $l,OOO fine imposed on him while
County Commissioner, for contempfi' by the Sn
prcme Court. The Major’s texm of oflice expired
a. few days since, and petitions, praying the Gov
ernor to remit the fine, were prepared and received
the signatures of many of the leading citizens. Ap
plizution was then made to the Executive asking
the remission of the fine, but, if we are informed
aright, the Governor refuses to interfere, ahd it
remains with the people now whether the Major
shall be released or not. The fine was incurred at
the instance of the anti~tax men of the county, the
representative of whose wishes and opinions Mr.
M’llhenny was.
=I
Posmusmus REMeVED.—-Jamcs Clendenin, post
master at Catlisle Springs, Pa” has been removed
and the oflice (which is necessary only during the
watering season) discontinued, because be divided
his commissions with a firm in New York on a
quantity of private circulars sent the-re by a firm
to be mailed.
The same course has been pnrsuefl with referenoe
to the postmaster, George. White, and the ofiice at
Westmorcland Depot, New Hampshire,for engaging
in the “Gift Enterprise" business.
Many other removals and discontinuances me
being made where postmasters either fail to make
their returns or to pay up. If the offices are un
important, they are discontinued at once, and, if
continued, the postmasters are renmved to give
place to others who will perform their duty.
ic:l
annnmnruwnss or Hot BREAIL—TIIe Scien
ufic American says that Dr. J. G. Bunting has
published some very interesting and useful facts in
relation to the digestion of food in the human sto~
mach, deduced from his experiments with St. Mar
t-in, the man with an enlarged bullet hole in his
side, through which can be seen all the processes
of digestion. In speaking of the nutrition; pro‘
party of farinaoeous food, and tho propor state in
which it is most. easily digested, he gives the foL
lowing excellent advice :
“Hot bre'ad never digests. Bear this in mind.
reader, if you are accustomed to eat the light and
tempting biscuitat ten, or the worm loaf that looks
so appelizing upon the breakfast table. After a.
long season of tumbling and working about. the
stomach it. will begin to ferment, and will eventu
ally be passed out of the stomach as an unwelcome
tenant of that delicate organ, but never digests—
never becomes assimilated to, or absorbed lay, the
organs that appropriate nutrition to the body. It
is a first rate dyspepsy producer. The above is
truth,as in has been repeatedly proved from actual
observation through the free side of Alexis St.
Martin.

RAILROAD Acemnxr.—-—Another of those terrible
accidents resulting from the actions of fool-hardy
and vontnresome boys, occurred in Pittsburg on
Saturday. A boy named John Rent, nine years of
age, was killed by the cars on Liberty street. He
got on a passenger train on the Pennsylvania Cen
tral Railroad, and after riding about a hundred
feel: he jumped off. A freight train,passing at. the
time, ran over and killed him instantly, mutilating
his body in a. horrible manner.
Coroner Bostwick being summoned, held an in
quest on the body. The jury rendered the follow—
ing verdict: That deceased came to his death by
being run over by a freight train of the Cleveland
and Pittsburg Railroad, on the traek of the Penn
sylvania Central Railroad, in consequence of his
own carelessness in jumping from the passenger
train without looking forward, while a. freight
train was easing, having nlighted on the track
within a {gar feet of said freight train. And the
jury further find that there was no hell on the rear
end of the freight train, and recommends the en
forcement of the ordinance which requires bells to
be rung on the streets of the city. And the jiny
further recommend the City Councils to pass an
ordinance requiring all the companies running
trains through the streets of the city to direFt
where the trains have to meet, and should stop
while the others shall pass.
These railroad mammals are becoming painfully
frequent The); can be attributed, in a gruntmea
sure, to the carelessness of the victims themselves.

ported by Unonpno WOLFE, of New York, whose name
is familiar in every part of this country for film purity
of his celebrated Scmmum Scnups. Mr. Wont-1J1:
his letter to me, speaking of the purity of his WlxEs
and Ltqvoas, says: 4‘ I will stake my reputation as a.
man, my standing as a. merchant of thirty years’ resi
dence in the City of New York, that all the BRANDY and
‘VISES which I bottle are pure as imported, and or the
best quality, and can be relied upon by every purchaser.”
Every bottle. has the proprietor’s name on the wax, and
a. me simile of his signature on the certificate. The
public are respectfully invited to call and examine for
themselves. For sale at RETAIL by all Apothecarics and

Bend the following from the New York Courier :
Exomrocs BUSINESS For: om: NEW Yon»: Magnum.—
We are happy to inform our fellow—citizens that therein
oneplace in our ciiy where the physician, apnthecary,
and country merchant, can go and purchase pure Wines
and Liquors. as pure asimported, and of the best quality.
W e do not intend to give an elaborate description of this
merchant’s extensive business, although it will well re
pay any stranger or citizen to visit. Unouno WOLFE-”s
extensive warehouse, Nos. 18, 20 and 2'2, Beaver street,
and NO3 17, 19 and 21, Markotlieid street. His stock of
Schnapps on hand ready for shipment could not have
been less than thirty thousand cases; the Brandy, some
ten thousand cases—Vintages of 1836 to 1856; and ten
thousand cases of Madeira, Sherry and Port Wines,
Scotch and Irish Whisky, Jamaica and St. Groix Rum,
some very old and equal to anyin this country. He also
had three. large cellars, filled with Brandy, Wines, kc.
in cnsksl under Custom-House key, ready for bottlingi
MI'.WOLFE’S mica of Schnapps last year amounted to
one hundred and eighty thousand dozen, and we hope in
less than two years he may be equally successi‘ with
his Brandies and Wines.
His business merits the patronage of every lover of
his species. Private families who wish pure Wines and
Liquors for medical use should send their orders direct
to Mr WOLFE, until every Apothecary in thelxmd make
up their minds to discard the poisonous stufi' from their
shelves, and replace it with WOLFE’S pure szs and
Lxgpons. ~
We understand Mr. Won-m, for the accommodation of
small dealers in the country, puts up assorted cases of
Wines and Liquors. Such a man, and Such a merchant,
should be sustained against his tens of thousands of op
ponents in the United States, who sell nothing but imi
tations, ruinous alike to human health and happiness.
