NATnASIEL P. BANKS.
' Mr. Banks, the present Speaker of the House
Cf Representatives, was born on the 13th of
January, 1816, in the town of Waltharo, near
Boston, which is still his residence. The pov
erty of his family deprived him of any but the
most ordinary advantages of education, and
these were necessarily narrowly limited, or ut
terly withheld, from Lis twelfth year, when
he betook himself to a factory in his native
town, therein to earn a livelihood. At a later
period of his youth, he worked as a black
smith, lie was nearly thirty years old, when,
throwing aside his blacksmith's apron, he
commenced in Boston the study of the law,
in the office of lion. Robcrtjllantoul, Jr., then
TJ. S. District Attorney for Massachusetts,
and ho was more than thirty two years old
when, in 1813, he was admitted to practice,
and opened an office for hinxself in Boston,
still residing with his family at Waltham.
Mr. Rantoul was probably the ablest man in
the Democratic ranks in New England, and
Mr. Bank's views upon many subjects are iden
tical with those of his legal teacher and per
sonal friend.
Mr. Banks had been an earnest and active
partisan as early as 1810, when be supported
Van Buren and the Sub-Treasury. lie stood
up for Polk in '44, and for Cass in '48, when
he was for the first time chosen to the Legis
lature of Massachusetts from Waltham, though
his political opponents were a decided major
ity in that town. It is said that but twenty
Democrats were that year elected to the Mas
sachusetts House, which consists of somejthree
to tour hundred members.
In 1850, the famous "Coalition" between
the Free Soilers and the Democrats wrested
Massachusetts from the control of the AVhig
party, sent Charles Sumner to fill the seat of
Daniel Webster in the U. S. Senate, and elec
ted Mr. Banks Speaker of the Massachusetts
House. In 1853, Mr. Banks was elected
Speaker ol the Constitutional Convention, of
which the ablest men of the State were mem
bers. Mr. Banks first took his scat as a Member
of Congress in December 1853, having suppor
ted General Pierce for President in the pro
ceeding canvass. He acted with his party
through that session, except on the Slavery
Question taking ground against the Repeal
of the Missouri Compromise, against the doc
trine of "Squatter Sovereignty," and contend
ing that it was the right and duty of Congress
to act as the guardian of the infant Territories,
and establish therein such institutions as were
most in conformity with Republican princi
ples, and best adapted to promote thcii intel
lectual, moral, and material growth,
j In 1851, Mr. Banks was re-elected Jto the
IIouse,having the support of both the "Amer
ican" and Democratic parties in his District,
and receiving a majority of some seven thou
sand votes. In December last that Congress
assembled, and, after a two moths' struggle,
was elected Speaker by a plurality of three
votes. Mr. Banks is generally acknowledged
to be au admirable presiding officer having
muclTexpcrieuce, and great natural coolness,
promptitude and dignity.
He is now forty years old, rather below the
medium size, with a firm, erect carriage, and
.an earnest physiognomy that seems as though
it had been pinched and shriveled by facing
r keen New England March wiud. His dark
bair is thickly sprinkled with gray, indicative
of the anxieties of an active trenchant life.
He is understood to be still in very moderate
circumstances. He was married some years
since, and bis wife is now with him in Wash
ington,, though their children in part remain
at school in their Xew England home. Con
trary to the-general rule that "a prophet is
not without honor, save in his own country,"
Mr. Banks has always been most popular in
his native town, and there the long struggle
for the Speakership was watched with the
liveliest anxiety on his behalf. When the ti
dings of his success at length arrived, the
bells were rung, cannon fired, a procession
formed, and all the clergymen assembled with
their flocks to rejoice over the success of their
townsman.
Fresestatioss are getting common. The
. Captain of a canal boat out West has just been
- presented with a service of fivo years in the
penitentiary, in consideration of the distin
guished ability with which he plundered a pas
senger and kicked him overboard.
Commodore I'ekrt obtained, while in Japan
a pair of dogs, from which the breed of "King
Charles Spaniel" is derived. They cost him
one hundred and eighty-ono dollars, and were
kept in Japan as imperial pets. A high price
for bark, that.
At a recent exhibition of a menagerie, an
elephant was seen to pick up the loose hay
with his trunk, w hen an Irishman exclaimed :
"What sort of a baste is that atin' hay with
his tail?"
Lodgings are so scarce inAustralia that men
pay a dollar for lying in the gutter, and fifty
cents extra for resting their heads on the curb
stone. Cellar doors reserved for ladies.
A client once bmst into a flood of tears af
ter he had heard the statement of his counsel,
exclaiming : "I did not think I had suflered
half so much."
There ahe to be nine hundred and thirty
four hotels, and two hundred and thirty-one
eating houses in Philadelphia, under the new
license law of Pennsylvania.
The oxen out in Iowa live so long that they
have to pat sticks on their horns for the wrin

FOR A MARVELLOUS AGE '. !
HOLLO WAY'S OINTMENT.
THE GRAND EXTERNAL REMEDY.
BY the aid of a microscope, wo see millions of
little openings on tho surfaco of our bodies.
Through these this Ointment, when rubbed on the
skin, is carried to any organ or inward part. Dis
eases of the Kidneys, disorders of tho Liver, affec
tions of the Heart, inflammation of tho Lungs,
Asthmas, Coughs and Colds, arc by its means ef
fectually cured. Every housewife knows that salt
passes freely through bono or meat of any thick
ness. This healing Ointment far more readily
penetrates through any bone or fleshy part of the
living body, curing tho most dangerous inward
complaints, that cannot be reached by other means.
ERYSIPELAS, SALT R HEUM AND SCORBUTIC
HUMORS.
No remedy has over done so much for tho cure
of diseases of tho rkin, whatever form thoy may
assume, as this Ointment. No case of Salt Rheum,
Scurvy, Soro Heads, Scrofula or Erysipelas, can
long withstand its influence. The inventor has
travelled over many parts of the globo. visiting
the principal hospitals, dispensing this Ointment,
giving advice as to its application, and has thus
been the means of restoring countless numbers to
health.
SORE LEGS. SORE BREASTS, WOUNDS AND
ULCERS.
Some of the most scientific surgeons now rely
solely on tho use of this wonderful Ointment, when
having to cope with the worst cases of sores, ulcers,
wounds, glandular swellings, and tumors. Profes
sor Holloway has, by command of the Allied gov
ernments, dispatched to tho hospitals of tho East,
large shipments of this Ointment, to boused un
der tho direction of the Medical staff, in the worst
cases of wounds. It will cure any ulcer, glandu
lar swelling, stiffness or contraction of tho joints,
even of 20 years' standing.
PILES AND FISTULAS.
These and other similar distressing complaints
can bo effectually cured if the Ointment be well
rubbed in over the parts affected, and by otherwise
following the printed directions around each pot.
Both the Ointment and the Pills should be used
in the follmcing cases :
Bunions, Mercurial Eruptions, Swelled Glands.
Bums. Chapped Hands, Stiff Joints,
Chilblains, Rheumatism, Ulcers,
Fistulas, Salt Rheum, Yenerial Sores,
