-of Congress from Kentucky this year stauds I
pre-eminent. Air. Ma relic U is -certainly aiiinn
of eloquence, and has already won a reputation
at Washington. 1 n tire -early part -UI the ses
sion, lie spoke in the House inure than once,
under the influence of liquor, llctuibs'jquent
1y joinoU the Tenrperanoe Society. lurmg
ithc past week lie lias been in New York,
speaking to overfiewing houses nightly, -on the
subject of Temperance. The enthusiasm lr has
aroused, is spoken of by our ootomporarics in
iturms wJiich show that they have caught a "por
tion of the enthusiasm of the audiences. We
-quote cne of tlte bcuornXle gretrUowau's speech
es, in which he gives Lis experience. Ji'-shu--moras
more remarkable, .perhaps, than its elo
quence, tltltouglj tlie passage, in which allu
sion is made to the speaker's mother, is tlrril-
Jiug. IIe,prcluced it by observing that lie had
.been very frequently -called ou to address large
-bodies of the ,cple in Kentucky, in political
contests, was often -elected to 'thirl Legislature
and during the canvass -it was a custom to cat
.and drink freely all round.
-Ht did not mean by this he said to Tiavc
any one suppose that his constituent wore ei
ther an imuiorah or a -drinhing or dissipated
people and as tne reporters seemed to yut
-down all he said, he wished this fact mentioned
-most particnlarly t'hatlic might not be misun
Jerstood nnd ho would take this opportunity
1o say that there isn't a man, belie who he may
-who represent a prouder, a heater, or t.iarc
morid fieoplc than his conttitucnts; still, it
takes a heup of eoplc to ma-kc a world ; and a
candidate must take votes as they come and not
pick "oiii. Well, 1 got i:i tho habit of Uriikk
ing with them, ati-1 it frciuctftly happened rhat
your humble servant would get most confound
edly drunk half a dozen times during the can
vass. This was a source of last iuuesraess to
my friends they still vo.ed fur me in it they
warned mc oh, how they warned me, I told
them they needn't mind my cutting these
-capers, and getting into those sprees, that if
they atnt mc to Congress, I'd yuit it. My
mother too ; and oh, if I've ever seen any mor
tal thing that hud not a single taint of original
sin, it was that some good old I'rtsbytorian
another of mine -, if tSie ovct did have any of
it at any time of her life, she had parted with
it all before I'd furmed any acquaintance with
or knew airy tiling about her. Hhe warned inc.
When my elections wereover, I retired ts my
tlodet, and was a hard BtudoiR nd fouiautoJ
irom lirjuur for a long period.
A4 if I ever got into a frolic I slaid away
from home from my mother I've pot no wife
till 1 got pale, till H the fd "t ofl ; and
kinder that parental roof 1 was always sober.
Well, 1 pledged myself to toy friendu that if
it hey would run iuc fur Congretj", I'd not frolic
during the canvass. They run nio and 1 kept
my word ; I didn't got drunk during tire can
vass. After it was over, however, I pot into
one of the mot-t inuaurtaJ sprees. , 1 A'lgbter. J
I said my time's cut. I've got my certificate
in my pocket, and if I don't make up ft all this
lost tune and abstinence, then rt will be be
cause I can find nothing to drink. Well, 1 did
go into that tpree about as heavy as a man well
could, and live. Well, i came from Ixxiugton
to Washington in four days and nights, as I
wauled to he in time to vote for Mr- White fcrr
Speaker; I didn't drink a d rop on the road, I
was fco sick after the spree that I wouldn't
leave till four days bt tnro (,'ongress met ; 1
came through in four day didn't take ihy
clothes off slept in the mail stage and was
in time to vote. I resolved then in my new
high station to keep sober ; for two whole days
I stuck fo this resolve. I then went down to
a nice little drinking shop-refectory they have
under the housp, and got a horn and another ;
nnd that was the commencement there. ( Laugh
ter. Well, old Mr. Adams, of Massachusetts,
mada most tremendous speech, which I didn't
much like, ami I determined 1o answer him.
Well, the idea of speaking for the first time in
Congress, and answering so distinguished a
man as Mr. Adams for you know what a big
man he h I couldn't sleep all night, and the
next day I thought I couldn't sustain myself
through my tsk to speak in that great hip barn
of a place, the House of Representatives for
it's the very worst place to speak in that can
possibly he in this world, without a little glass
of brandy and water. Laughter.!
So I took it on an empty stomach it went
straight to my head, and I felt the smartest
a-ad grcii test character living, and able to speak
any where and answer to any lody (laughter.)
I toastuddlcil w ith one glass. In I went to the
lioiise ; and when I first Wgan, my manner,
action and speech, showed that I was under
partial excitement from liipior. Flul ns I
warmed with'my subject, the perspiration rolled
elTme, and before I set down I was assolierns
n judge. And a tivost capital speech I thought
I had made. Well, tliore's a whole parcel of
gentleman who crime to Washington ilurinc
tirCtWHsion, caJICfl letter writers, (laughter)and
aksoa nhole parcel of fellows callvd reporters;
Cbw of KiuTso are an.vio'ts to get all tlio news

Imiglrter.') Thrt, 1 suppose, as this wa6 my first
session in Congress, and as they'd never seen
exactly any such animal as mc any where 'bo
fbre, they 'took mc up as a new -cauc, (laugli-
ter) and a most roniarlrahlo case at that
(Laug'hter.) Now, I'd inadc a good inmry
specclies in the Legislature of Kentucky, but
none of 'em had ever been reported. We
don't .know any'thwrg aixwt those things thnre
not being in the habit f publishing a mail's
speeches. And this wus qnhe a new sort of
thing to me. Ijiughter. Well, gentlemen,
wWn tfh fiapcTS came hack containing-the ac

the next time 1 had to spoak, which was soon
after on the IjiiiJ Bill, I rfcleruiined to drink
nothing ; and I kept my resolve. Cjido, said
1, it shall be riihl, and they shall have no

said 'Sleforc I sit down I have one word to say

JNow, it wabiiut true Hat I ttopt from niton

And partly goaded to madness by this, help
ed on fy vld habits, I did drink, and drink,
and drink, as I never did before. 1 thought it
seemed as if all mankind was in a devilish
conspiracy against me that they were bent
on nry destruction. And I -was goaded to mad
ness to think that these things would go home
to think what that aged mother and that
lender sister would feel when they read that I
had become a perlect boast since 1 left the pa
ternal roof! I thought I was mined any how:
and I felt for all the world like a fellow W ho
has got into a piece of country where the bush
es around him are stucl? full of Indians, and
they all the time sliooting their devilish fmrbed
poisoned arrows into his fellows, and he not
knowing from what quarter to expect the w ind
and not able to find a toe any where. Such
was my situation ! And I did drink, and drink
and drink in every desperation, till the infernal
appetite seemed growing on me, and rendering
it necessary ; until at last I took one of the

in the whole course of my existence. Aud

Uut the second and still greater difficulty, pc
culiar to American women, is delicacy of con
stitution which renders theui victims to dis
ease and decay.
Yhe fact that the wonieu of this country are
usually subject to disease, and that their beau
ty and youthfuluess are of .shorter continuance
than t'nc women of othi't trttKM;s, is one which
always attracts the attention of loroigncis,
while medical men and philanthropists are con
stantly giving l'oTfl inoi"tions as to the ex
tent and alarming increase of this evil. Inves
tigations make it, evident that a large propor
tion of young ladies from the wealthier classes
have the incipient stages of curvature of the
spine, and of the most sr.re snd -faithful causes
of future disease and decay. The writer has,
heard medical men, who have made extensive
inquiries, say that probably one of every six of
young women at boirding-school, are atlected
in this way, while many other indications ofdis
cascand ih-hility exist, incases where this par
ticular evil canixit le detected.
In consequence of this enfeebled state of
constitution, induced by a neglect of their physi
cal educ itioii. as soow as they are called to the
responsibilities nnd trills of domestic lite, their
const it uliens fails, aud their w hole life is ren
dered a burden. For no person van enjoy ex
istence when disease throws a dark cloud over
the mind and incapacitates her lor the discharge
of every duty.
It would sec in as if the primeval crse, that
has written the doom f pain and sorrow on one
period of a young mother's life, iu this country
has been extended over all ; that the hour lie-
i tvr armcs li 'tJieforgetteth her sorrow fir
j
joy that a man is iiorn iu the wyrrid."' Many a
mother will testify, with shuddering, the nsr-st
exquisite sufferings she ever endured, where
not those apjioiiited by nature, but those which,
foT weeks atu weeks have worn down hearth
and spirits when nourishing her child. And
medical men teach us tlmt this iu most cases,
results frjm debility of constitution vmseqHent
on the mismanagement of early life. And so
frequent and so mournful are these and the o-
ther diseases that result from the failure of the
female -eons1 itV'ioiL, that t lie writer has repea
tedly heard mothers say "thet tlK-y had wept
tears of bitterness over their infant daughters
for the sufferings which lin y were destined to
undergo ; while they cherished the decided
wish that lhs'j daughters sin mid never marry.
At the same time, many n reflecting young wo
man is looking to her future piospect v ith very
difVeroiit feelings ant! hopes from these which
Providence -designed.
American wo-ik-h are exxsed to a far grea-tor
amount of uit-cUci tual and moral excitement
than those of any other land. Of course iu or
der to escape the danger resulting from this, a
rreat-r amount of evercise in the fresh eir,
and all those uiethids which strengthen the
constitution, arc imperiously required.
Hut instead oft his rt will b found thirt owing
to the clmiatc and the customs of this nation,
there are no women vho secure ho little of this
healthful and protecting Ttgiiuen. Walking,
and riding, and gardening in the on-n air, are
pract iced by women of other lands to a far grea
ter extent than by American females. Most
Fnglish women iu the weahhiiT classes, are a
ble to whlk six or riyht mih's in a stretch, with
out oppressive fatigue ; and when they visit
this country, always ex pr'si, their surprise at
the iii..tivc kauits of the American ladies. In
England the regular daily exercise, in the open
air, is very commonly required l.y me mother,
as a paitot daily duty, and is fought by young

Evaporatjjh; toe ISssektml Oils

experiments have lately been tried
by Mr. J. A. Powers, in evaporating the

filled with spirits of turpentine, was pla

volutions of tlte eylender the room be

expenntets, Mr. Powers ascertained
that the evaporation would be materU
ally increased ly partly filling the cup
with water, and uiting the turpentine
or oil om -the top. By connecting the
prime -conductor w ith the inside -of a
Lcydcn jar, aim holding one end of the
discharger -directly over the cup, it was
