MI
AN ECCENTRIC MILLIONAIRE.—Among the
subscribers to Audubon's magnificant work on
ornithology, the subscription price of which
was $l,OOO a copy, appeared the name of John
Jacob Astor. During the progress of the work,
the prosecution of which was exceedingly ex
pensive, M. Audubon, of course, called upon
several of his subscribers for payment.. It so
tpperied that Mr. Astor (probably that ho
might not be troubled about small matters),
was not applied to before the delivery of the
letterpress and plates. Then, however, Audu
bon asked for his thousand dollars; but he was
put off with one excuse or another. " Att, M.
Audubon!" would the owner of millions observe
you have come at a bad time ; money is very
scarce; I have nothing in bank; I have in
vested all my funds." At length, for a sixth
time, Audubon called on Astor for his thousand
dollars. As he was ushered into the presence
he found William B. Astor, the son, conversing
with his father. No sooner did the rich man
see the man of art, than he began : Ah, M.
Audubon, so you have come again after your
money. Hard times, M. Audubon—money
Foam." But just then, catching an inquiring
look from his son, he changed his tone: " How
ever, M. Audubon, I suppose we must contrive
so let you have some of your money, if possible.
William," he added, calling to his son, who
had walked into an adjoining parlor, "have we
ny money at all in the bank 1" " Yes,
father," replied the son, supposing that he was
asking an earnest question pertinent to what
they had been talking about when the ornitho
logist came in, "we have two hundred and
seventy thousand dollars in the Bank of New
York, seventy thousand dollars in the City
Bank,- ninety • thousand in the Merchants,'
ninety-eight thousand four hundred in the Me
chanics,' eighty-three thousand ." "That'll
do, that'll do," exclaimed John Jacob, inter
rupting him ; " it seems that William can give
a check for your money."—Men Who Have

thest range of a hundred pound shell, even at
an elevation of thirty-five degrees given to the
gun, is 4,528 yards, the time of flight being
thirty-five seconds. The great. twelve-inch
Columbiad, the largest gun made, loaded with
twenty-five pounds powder, a shell of 172
pounds, and the piece at an elevation of thirty
five degrees, has made a range of only 5,409
yards, the projectile occupying thirty-two sec
onds in its flight. By increasing the elevation
to thirty-nine degrees only 100 yards more
was gained in the range. From the same gun,
with a charge of powder twenty-eight pounds,
a shell of 180 pounds, and an elevation of
thirty-five degrees, a range of 5,671 yards had
been attained ; at an elevation of thirty-nine
degrees, a range of 5,761 yards, (three and a
third miles,) which is the greatest that has ever
been accomplished by any gun in our service.
The flight occupied thirty-six seconds.—
Charleston is. therefore, perfectly safe from
the guns of Fort Sumpter. If it were even
within the furthest range of those guns, the
angle of elevation necessary to accomplish such
a distance is so extreme that to hit the city
would be a matter of extreme uncertainty.—
The guns of Fort Sumpter can only be raised
to an elevation of thirty-three degrees on ac
couct of the casemates, and, consequently,
could do no damage beyond about two miles
and a half.
A ten-inch Columbiad, at an elevation of
thirty-three degrees, will throw a shell about
three miles. There are no such guns in bar
bate at Fort Sumpter, and if there are any
casemate guns of that caliber, no such eleva
tion could be had. The upper surface of the
gun would strike against the top of the embra
sure at an elevation far short of thirty-three
degrees.—Charleston Mercury.
DISAGREEABLE FINALE TO A DOUSE-WARM
ING IN PAR IL—Baron be , of Paris, late
ly gave a dinner to half a dozen friends to
—warm" a hoirse he has just built for himself.
It was a bachelor dinner, his wife being in the
country. When they were at. dessert., a lady
entered the room—his wife. There was a dis-,
agreeable moment or two for the guests, as
surprises are always disagreeable, especially
when they come in petticoats. She said,.
"Gentlemen, I am sorry to disarrange you,
but I have something to say to my husband,
and Tam not sorry to have your company."
she thereupon went up to her husband, who
was turning as many colors as a dying dol
;Ain, andsaid to him: "Six weeks ago, in the
heat of a discussion which I did not provoke,
you were coward enough to slap me. As there
were no witnesses present, my lawyer tells me
I can bring no action. There are witnesses
here, now, sir—take Mat! (giving him a ter
rible slap) use your witnesses. I expect your
lawyer at once." She then quitted the room
majestically. The husband has summoned all
'As friends as witnesses, and brought suit for
divorce.
A MYSTERY.—A gentleman residing in Fort
Wayne, whose duties require him to be absent
from his home much of his tinae, came home
unexpectedly a few evenings since. His wife
told him there was no light in the room, and
requested him to retire without one, which he
did. After retiring he felt unwell, and deter
mined to apply a remedy at once, arose, dressed,
and went out to a druggist's. Putting his hand
in his pocket to get some change wherewith to
pay for the medicine he had purchased, he
drew out a handful of gold ! He tried the
other pocket with the same result, and
counting the contents of the two pockets he
was pins WO! The pants were not his.—
When he again reached home everything was
quiet, and the pants he had taken off a few
minutes before were gone. Now this is very
queer, and can be accounted for on no other
hypothesis than that Aladin's lamp worked
upon the affair with the wonderful influence of
its magical qualities. How otherwise could it
have happimed ? If any other rational expla
nation can be given, will some one give it ?
SHARP MERCANTILE PRACTICE.—II is said
That a certain New York merchant recently
found himself in possession of a quantity of
linen wrappers, of a very good quality, but so
short that no human being, not even an Esqui
mau; could wear them with comfort. How to
dispose of them qt an advantage was a ques
tion difficult of solution ; but his wits were
equal to the emergency, and he hit upon the
following plan ; lie sent a stranger to a certain
retail store, with instructions to enquire for
short linen wrappers. The merchant could
not supply him, and the stranger inquired
where he could find the article. Next day
another was dispatched on the same mission,
and the next day another, and so on, until the
retail merchant became convinced that there
was an extraordinary demand for short linen
wrappers; and began to lock about to find a
supply. He did not succeed until he came to
the establishment of the merchant first men
tioned, where he bought the entire lot. It is
hardly necessary to add, that there has been
no deinand for the article since.—N. Y. Post.
AnoTTISS. "WITAT is IT?"—Captain King,
commander of a merchant vessel trading be
tween the Sandwich Islands and Japan, has
sent on to his family, who reside in Williams
burgh, a creature caught on the Japanese
coast, which closely resembles the fabulous
mermaid. It is about twenty-eight inches
long; from the hip down, it is a fish, resem
bling the shad. Tte upper part of the body
and head resembles a monkey, covered. except
'the face, with brown hair. There are five fin
gers on each hand, all of one length, and
webbed . between li ke-the feet of waterfowl.
The toadies of the face are all perfect, and
more regular then' those of the monkey tribe

TRH AUSLOASILTIoN OF LARGUAGES.—There is a growing
- tendency in this age to appropriate the .most expressive
words of other languages, and after si while to incorporate
theca into our own; thus the word Cephalic, which is
from the Creek, signifying "for the head," is now becom
ing popularized in z .I:ineetion with Mr. Spalding's great
Headache remedy, but it will won be used in a more gen
eral way, and the word Cephaliy. will become as amsman
as Electrotype and many others whose distinction as for
eign words has been worn away by common usage until
they seem "native a to the manor born."'
'ardly Realized.
Hi 'ad 'n 'orrible 'eadaehe this hafternoon, hand I stepped
into the hapothecaries hand says hi to the man, "Can you.
house me of an 'eadache ?" "Does it hache lard,” says
'e. cillexceedingly,” says hi, hand upon that 'e gave me
a Cephalic Pill, hand 'pon me 'onor it cured me 89 quick
that I 'i.rdly realized 1 'ad 'ad an 'eadache.
11•11senacErs is the favorite sign by which nature
makes known any deviation whatever from the natural
state of the bral a , and viewed in this light it may be looked
on as a sa , egnard intended to give notice of disease whit h
might otherwise escape attention, till too late to be reme
died; and it indications should never be neglect, d. Heal •
aches may be classified under two names, viz : Symptoma
tic and Idiopathic. Symptomatic Headache is exceedingly
ennitnenand is the precursor et ft great variety of diseases,
among which are Apoplexy, Gout, Rheumatism and all
febrile diseases. In its nervous form it is sympathetic of
disease of the stomach constituting sick headache, of he
patic disease constituting &idioua headache, of worms,
constipation and otherdisorders of the bowels, as well as
renal and uterine Affections. Diseases of the heart are very
frequently attended with Headaches; Anaemia and plethora
are also affections which frequently occasion headache.—
Idiopathic Headache is also very common, being usually
distinguished by the name of nervous headache, sometimes
cowing on suddenly in a state of apparently Pound health
and prostrating at once the mental and physical energies,
and in other instances it comes on slowly, heralded by de
pression of spirits or acerbityof temper. In most instan
ces the pain is in the front of the bead, ever one or both
eyes, and sometimes prove king vomiting ; under this class
may also be named Neuralgia.
For the treatment of either class of Headache the Ce
phalic Pills have been found a sure and safe remedy, relie
ving the most acute pains in a few minutes, and by its subtle
power eradicating the diseases of which Headache is the
unerring index.
BalDGET.—Miseus wants you to Bend her a box of Cep
hello Glue, no, a bottle of Prepared Pills—but Pm think
ing that's not just it neither ; but perhaps yell be either
knowing what it is. , Ye see she's nigh dead and gone with
the Sick Headache, and wants some more of that same as
relaived her before.
Druggist —Yon must mean Spalding's Cephalic Pills.
Bridget.—Och ! sure now and you've sad it, here's the
quarther and giv me the Pills and dont be all day about it
either.
Constipation or Costiveness.
No one of the “many ills flesh is heir to" is so prevalent,
so little understood, and so much neglected as Co.tiveness.
Often originating in carelessness or sedentary habits ; it
regarded as a slight disorder of too little consequence to
excite anxiety, while in reality it is the precursor and
companion of many o f the moat fatal and dangerous dis
eases, and unless early eradicated it will bring the sufferer
to an, untimely grave. Among the lighter evils of which
costiveness is the usual attendant are Headache, Colic,
Rheumatism, Foul Breath, Piles and others of 1 ke nature,
while a lung train of frightful diScases such as Malignant
Fevers, Abcesses, Dysentery, Diarrhoea , Dyspepsia, Apo
plexy, Epilepsy, Paralysis, 'Hysteria, Hypochondria's,
Melancholy and Insanity, Brat indicate their presence in
the system by this alarnileig Syniptom. Not un:requently
the'diseases named originate in Constipation, but take on
an independent existence unless the cause is eradicated in
an early stage. From all these coneideraVons it fellow
that the disorder should receive immediate attention when
ever it occurs, and no person should neglect to get a box
of Cephalic, Pills on thr first appearance of the complaint,
as their timely use will expel the insidious approaches of
disease and destroy this dangerous foe to human life.
A Beal Blessing.
Physician—Well, Mrs. Jones, how is that headache?
Mrs. Tones—Gone! Doctor, all gone ! tha pill you sent
cured me in just twenty minutes, and I wish yo ). would
Send more so that I can have them handy.
Physician.—Yon con get them at any Druggists. Call
for Cephalic Pills, I find they never fail, and I recommend
them in all cases of Headache
Mrs. Jones —I shall sent for a box directly, and shall
tell all my Suffering friends, for they are a real blessing.
TWENTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS SATBD.—Mr. Spalding
has sold two millions of bottles of his celebrated Prepared
Glee and it is estimated that each bottle saves at lesht ten
dollars worth of broken furniture, thus mak,ng an aggre

THE ONLY DISCOVERY
WORTHY OF ANY CONFIDENCE FOR
RESTORING
_ _
THE BALD AND GRAY.
Many, since the great discovery of Prof. Wood, have
attempted not only to imitate his restorative, but pro
less to have discovered something that would produce
results identical; but they have all come and gone, be
ing carried away by the wonderful results of Professor
Wood's preparation, and have been forced to leave the
field to its resistless sway. Read the following :
BATh, Maine. April 18, 1859.
PROP. 0. J. WOOD & Co.: Gents :—The letter I wrote
you in 1856 concerning your valuable Hair Restorative,
and which you have published in this vicinity and else
where, has given rise to numerous enquiries touching
the facts in the case. The enquiries are, first, is it a
fact of my habitation and name, as stated in the com
munication; second, is it true of all therein contained;
third, does my hair still continue to be in good order and
of natural color? To ail I can and do answer invariably
yes. My hair is even better than in any stage of my life
for 40 years past, more soft, thrifty, and better colored;
the same is true of my whiskers, and the only cause why
it is not generally true, is that the substance is washed
off by frequent ablution of the face, when if care were
used by wiping the face in close connection with the
whiskers, the same result will follow as the hair. I
have been in the receipt of a great number of letters from
all parts of New England, asking me if my hair still
continues to be good ; as there is so much fraud in the
manufacture and sale of various compounds as well as
this, it has, no doubt, been basely imitated, and been
used, not only without any good effect, but to absolute
injury. I have not used any of your Restorative of any
account for some months, and yet my hair is as good as
ever, and hundreds have examined it with surprise, as I
am now 61 years old and not a gray hair in my head or on
my face; and to prove this face, I send you a lock of my
hair taken off the past week. I received your favor of
two quart bottles last summer, for which I am very
grateful: I gave it to my friends and thereby induced
them to try it ; many were skeptical until after trial,
and then purchased and used it with universal succ,ss.
I will ask as a favor, that you send me a test by which I
can discover fraud in the Restorative, sold by many, I
fear, without authority from you. A pure article will
insure success, and I believe where good effects do not
follow, the failure is caused by the impure article, whiCh
curses the inventor of the good. I deem it my duty, as
heretofore, to keep you apprised of the continued effect
on my hair, as I assure all who enquire of me of my un
shaken opinion of its valuable results.
I remain, dear sirs, yours, A. O. RAYMOND.
AARON'S RUN, Ky., Nov. 30, 1858.
PROF. 0. J. WOOD: Dear Sir :—I would certainly be
doing you a great injustice not to make known to the
world, the wonderful as well as the unexpected result I
have experienced from using ONE bottle of your Hair
Restorative. After using every kind of Restoratives
extant, but without success, and finding my head nearly
destitute of hair, I was finally induced to try a bottle of
your Hair Restorative. Now, candor and justice compel
me to announce to whoever may read this, that I now
possess a new and beautiful growth of hair, which I
pronounce richer and handsomer than the original was.
I will therefore take occasion to recommend this in
valuable remedy to ALL who may feel the necessity of it.
Respectfully yours, REV. S. ALLEN BROOK.
P. S —This testimonial of my approbation for your
valuable medicine (as you are aware of) is unsolicited;
but if you think it worthy of a place among the rest,
insert if you wish; if not destroy and say nothing.
Yours, &c., REV. S. A. B.

As accidents will happen, even in well-regulated fatui
ties, it is very desirable to have some cheap and conve
nient way for repairing Furniture, Toys, Crockery, &c.
SPALDING'S PREPARED GLUE
meets all such emergencies, and no household can afford
to be without It. It is always ready and up to the stick
ing point. There is no longer a necessity for limping
chairs, splintered veneers headless dolls, and broken
cradles. Ti is just the article for cone, shell, and other
ornamental work, so popular with ladies of refinement
and taste.
This admirable preparation is used cold, being chemi;
cally held in solution, and possessing all the valuable
qualities of the best cabinet-makers' Qlue. It may be
used in the place of ordinary mucilage, being vastly
more adhesive.

. ..
AN aperient and Stomachic preparation of IRON,puri•
fled of Oxygeti'and' Carbon by Combustion in Hydrogen.
Sanctioned by the highest Medical Authorities, both in
Europe and the United States, and prescribed in their
practice.
The experience of thousands daily proves that no pre
paration of Iron can be compared with it. Impurities of
the blood, depresbisn of vital energy, pale and otherwise
sickly complexions, indicate its necessity in almost every
conceivable case.
Innoxious in all maladies in which it has been tried, it
has proved absolutely curative in each of the following
complaints, viz :
IN DEBILITY, NERVOUS AFFECTIONS, EMACIATION, DYS
PEPSIA, CONSTIPATION, DIARRIBEA, DYSENTERY, INCIPIENT
CONSUMPTION, SCRUPULOUS TUBERCULOSIS, SALT RHEUM,
MISMENSTRUATION, WHITES, DEL 0110STS• LIVER COMPLAINTS,
CHRONIC HEADACHES, RHEUMATISM, INTERMITTENTFSTERS,
PIMPLES ON THE PACE, &O.
In eases of GENERAL DEBILITY, whether the reatilt of
acute disease, or of the continued diminution of nervous
and muscular energy from chronic complaints, one trial of
this restorative has proved successful to an extent which
no description or written attestation would render credible.
Invalids so long bed. ridden as to have become forgotten in
their own neighborhoods, have suddenly re-appeared in the
busy world as if just returned from protracted travel in a
distant land. Some very signal instances of this kind are
attested of female Sufferers, emaciated victims of apparent
mammals, sanguineous exhaustion, critical changes, and
that complication of nervous and dyspeptic aversion to air
and exercise for which the physician has no name.
In NERVOUS AFFECTIONS of all kinds, and for reasons
familiar to medical men, the operation of this preparation
of iron must necessarily be salutary, for, unlike the old
oxides, it is vigorously tonic, without being exciting and
overheating ; and gently, regularly aperient, even in the
most obstinate cases of costiveness, without ever being a
gastric purgative, or inflicting a disagreeable sensation.
It is this latter property, among others, which makes it
so remarkably effectual and permanent a remedy for Piles,
upon which it also appears to exert a distinct and specific
action. by dispersing the local tendency which forms them.
In DYSPEPSIA, innumerable as are its causes, a single box
of these Chalybeate Pills has often sufficed for the most
habitual cases, including the attendant Costivetees,
In unchecked DldaitMU, even when advanced to Drags
TENT, confirmed, emaciating, and apparently malignant
the effects have been equally decisive and astonishing.
In the local pains, loss of flesh and strength, debilitating
cough, and remittent hectic, which generally indicate Ix
-OIPIENT emiSumPrlON, this remedy has allayed the alarm
of friends and physicians, in several very gratifying and
interesting instances.
In SCROFULOUS TUBERCULOSIS, this medicated iron has
bad far more than the good effect of the most cautiously
balanced preparations of iodine, without any of their well
known liabilities.
The attention of femalescannot be too confidently invited
to this remedy and restorative, in the cases peculiarly af•
fecting them.
In IMIEMIATIRM, both chronic and inflammatory—in the
latter, however, more decidedly—it has been invariably well
reported, both as alleviating pain and reducing the mei
bugs and stiffness of the joints and muscles.
In INTERMITTENT FEVERS it must necessarily te a great
remedy and energetic restorative, and its progress in the
new settlements of the West, will probably be one of high
renown and usefulness.
No remedy has ever been discovered in the whole history
of medicine, which exerts such prompt, happy, and fully
restorative effects. Good appetite, complete digestion,
rapid acquisition of strength, with an unusual disposition
for active and cheerful exercise, immediately follow its use.
Put up in neat flat metal boxes containing 50 pills, price
50 cents per box ; for sale by druggists and dealers. Will
be sent free to any address on receipt of the price. All
letters, orders, etc., should be addressed to

man, my standing as a merchant of thirty year& resi
dence in the City of New York, that all the BRANDY and

best quality, and can be relied upon by every purchaser."
Every bottle has the proprietor's name on the wax, and

GEORGE H. ASHTON,

Sale Agent far Philadelphia
Read the following from the New York Courier:
ENORMOUS BUSINESS FOR ONE NEW YORK MERCHANT.—
We are happy to inform our fellow-citizens that there is
one place in our city where the physician, apothecary,
and country merchant, can go and purchase pure Wines
and Liquors, as pure as imported, and of the best quality.
We 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 lIDOLPHO WOLFE'S
extensive warehouse, Nos. 18, 20 and 22, Beaver street,
and No 17, 19 and 21, Markettield 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. Croix Rum,
some very old and equal to any in this country. He also
had three large cellars, filled with Brandy, Wines, &a.
in casks, under Custom-House key, ready for bottling:
Mr. WOLFE'S sales of Schnapps last year amounted to
one hundred and eighty thousand dozen, and we hope in
less than two years he may be equally successf 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 criers direct
to Mr. Wot.mt, until every Apothecary in the land make
up their minds to discard the poisonous stuff from their
shelves, and replace it with WOLFS'S pure Warns and
Liquon
We understand Mr. WOLF; for the accommodation of
small dealers in the country, puts up assorted cases of
Wines and Liquors. Such a man, and sash a merchant,
should be sustained against his tens of thousands of op.
ponents in the United States, who sell nothing but inn
tations, ruinous alike to human health and happiness.
