Here are some extracts from the description
given by M. Du Couret, of the Ghilanes : '.'The
Ghilanes are" a peculiar race of negro; which hive
a strongTesemblance to the monkey : much smal
ler than the usual jrace they are rarely more than
five feet high. They are commonly ill iriade j
their bodies are lean and seem weak ; their arms
long and slim ; their hands and feet are longer
and flatter than those of any other of the human
species ; their cheeks pioject, and their forehead
is Jow and receding ; their ears are long and de
formed ; their eyes are small, black, piercing, and
twinkle constantly ; their noses are large and
flat ; their month wide, and furnished with teeth
very sharp, strong and of dazzling whiteness ;
their lips are full and thick ; their hair curled,
but not very woolly, not thick, and remains short.
But what particularly distinguishes them is the
prolongation of th& vertebral column. This gives
to each individual, male and female, a tail of two
or three inches long.
Finally , here fs the portrait of Belial, the, name
of the personage the author encountered at Mecca.
' He was thin and dry but nervous and strong.
His skin was black-bronzed, shining, soft to .the
touch like velvet. His feet were long and flat ;
his arms and legs appeared feeble, but well sup
plied with muscles. His ribs could easily be

SOCIAL CARD PJLAYIIVG.
How to mae Gamblers
The fol lbwlng short history of the schooling of
Green, the great Garribler, written by himself,
ought to be a warning to otliers.
Although I belong to the despisecl ' fraternity
called gamblers; I have always made'it a rule to
advise young men to shun the gambling lable", that
they might avoid the rock upon which
1 will now offe?, through your paper,
I split; and
some sug
gestions to the heads of families on the subject of
social caid playing.
I was at least twenty years of age, and had
lived softie months in New York, before I even
knew the names of the ordinary playing cards ;
but the importance of a thorough education in the
science of games was soon made apparent to me,
and in a quarter whence I least expected it.
Boarding in Broadway, I gradually formed an ac
quaintance with a number of highly respectable
families. By one of these I was invited to atterid a
social party. The heads of this family I knew to be
members of an Evangelical church, and you will
readily judge of my surprise, when 1 made my en
tree into, the parlor, to behold most of the com
pany, together with my pious friends, deeply en- j
gaged at play ! not the plays of innocence', but
the plays of depraved gamblers. The father of
the family was engaged at chess, whilst his wife
presided at a card table ; their children were
among the whist players, and others of the com
pany were engaged at backgammon, dominoes and
chequers ! The wine circulated freely ; and all
seemed happy but myself, who in such a party
was. a barbarian. I could do nothing but look on
and confess my ignorance, or occasionally engage
in conversation with same old lady, whilst
! The young and gay,
Were all engaged at play." ,
It is needless to say, that I spent a very Unhap
py evening ; and that I resolved to acquire at
once ah education so necessary to the mainten
ance of a respectable standing in good society !
I was not long therefore, in mastering the myste
ries of High, Low, Jack and the Game, and o!f
Whist, and a slight knowledge of ihese led to a
desire for farther information ; until at last I was
adept at a variety of games, able to teach others,
and was a favorite partner wherever I went. I
became exceedingly fond of cards.; arid as th'ey
were introduced into every social circle where 1
was admitted, my fondness gradually ripened into'
passion, which clings to me even in this hour".
No better illustration of the dangers of social
card playing can be given, than my ovvn history.
In the parlors of respectale families I acquired a
taste for play, which5 finally became an all ab
sorbing passion, knowing nd bounds, and rapidly
hurrying me down the road of ruin, where all is
misery, desolation arid death !
But my case is not a solitary one ; thousand's
of gamblers" have been made in the same way ;
and tens of thousands have fallen before this ter
rible vice in consequence of a taste for play being
formed in the family circle. Green's National

The following very singular case, not pub
lished as yet in any of the medical journals, is
given in the September number of the N. Y.

A negro woman, Francis Couenhoven by
name, residing at a place called ' Bead Horse
Bay,' near Graveseri'd, Long Island, was mar
ried about 18 rrioinhs ago. The day after the
ceremony she started with her husband in an
ordinary top buggy' wagon to visit some
friends who lived a few miles off ; and it so
happened lhat the horse took fright, and in
spue of the address of the driver ann'V io'
poats at the juction of the hay and Gravesend
road, by which the top of the boggy was lorn
off instantly and the sable pair narrowly es

To the FWeinen at Pennsylvania.
The Whig State Central Committee address
their fellow citizen's of Pennsylvania at a period
of unusual interest, and amid events and tenden-
ces of uncommon importance. It is a period of
iioca, ui wuivu iue luriunus ui ine otate, OI IPC
Union, of the 'world or at least the world of Eu
ropeare all deeply involved, in Europe', the
crisis of liberty is, perhaps, already'past : Rome,
Venice and Hungary have fallen ; France is false
or 'derelict ; Switzerland is threatened ; aha tHe
last shattered relics of republicanism struggle but
feebly against the vengence of kings and the pow
er of their mercenary arrrlies. ih dUr own hnr
Union, where Locofoism assumes the attitude arid
preaches the doctrine of despotism, we have thb
crisis of free soil ; and in Pennsylvania, where thb
same evil influence is arrayed against the freedom
of territories and the rights of citizens, we are
called to o'dr dutiel in the crisis of the protective
policy. Shall the unsettled territories of this
broad republic be given up to the unresisted em
pire of slavery 1 Shall the free laborers of Penn
sylvania be robbed of their rights and adequte re -wards,
be reduced to the condition of European
serfs 1 These are questions which are to be an
swered in the coming election in the Keystone
State ; for nothing is now iriore certain ihan that,
according as her people cast their suffrages on
the side of the Whig of the Locofoco party, they
vote for or against the principles of free soil arid
for or against the doctrine of projection. Id
these two particulars there can be no doubt where
the two parties respectively stand. Locofocoism,
in this State, no longer conceals its alliance with
and allegiance to the Southern fanaticism of the
s'chbpl of Calhoun, which claims the unlimited
right of slave-holders to carry slaves and plant the
institution of slavery wherever they choose, and,
at the same iime, to equally unlimited privilege
of taking away the employments and markets of
our workmen, to give them to foreign workmen
in England and other distant countries. Loco
focoism, in Pennsylvania,- is now openly preseri
ted as a free trade and slavery extension party.
The Whigs have ever been the' true, and they now
rerriaih the only consistent reliable friends of the
principles which reserve free territories for free
rrien, and give all the lucrative employments, and
profitable markets of our own country to our own
citizens ; the principles which would consecrate
the broad unsettled lands of North America to i
the uses of freedom, and prefer the interests of
American' industry over those of any and every
foreign people. How many thousand stahvaith
laborers in Pennsylvania depend for their bread
upon the prosperity of the great coal and iron in
terests, which are now languishing so miserably
u'n'der that bitter gift of Locofoco love of the peo
ple, the death tariff of 1846 ; and how many har
dy farmers of Pennsylvania,of whom these labor
ers bought their food, now suffer ih the poverty
of their customers ! One third of our if on works
thrown out of use, have entailed a loss of not less
than sevea or eight millions of dollars a" yeart ev
or eight millions of dollars a year ev-
ery cent of which is taken from the pocket of
Pennsylvania workmen a'nd farmers to bp, given
fo British workmen arid farmers. It is orlly Whig
protection and Whig tariffs which cap pm an end
to this ruinous statS of thfngs and brJing back the
prosperity enjoyed under the Whig tariff of 1842.
Pennsylvania needs a wise anr!i economic sys
tem of finance aiming to increp.se the productive
ness of the State Improvements, and diminish the
burthen' of public debt. C3'n any man of any par
ty in the Commonwealth fail to contrast the
change in the' State affairs, accomplished within
the brief period in wlr.ch they have been admin
istered by a' Whig; State government4yththe
posture they occupied so lotinder Locofoco
j-tmsruie ami mismanagement! Within this peri
od, the State 'credit has been restored the inter
est on the public debt is paid in hard money and,
while the completion of the North Branch Canal
and the Colurnbia Rail Road (for what is the road
to a'vr,id the inclined plane but the completion of
tha. great work) has been embarked Upon, a Sink
ing Fund has been established aud is already in
operation : the work of paying the State debt hav
ing actually commenced, and commenced in such
away, and upon such a systerrf, that it is calcula
ted, that if no fatal change be made, no less than
ten millions of dollars, or one fourth the whole
debt, may be paid off in six years, and the entire ,
indebtedness of the Commonwealth be wiped out
within fifteen or sixteen years. What a glorious
prospect this for every Pennsylvania!! who loves
his Slate and feels that he ought to disregard ajj
politics, and all parties, which are not baaetTupon
the first principle of entire devotion to the honor
and interest of .lhe State and the happiness and
prosperity of its people.
To realize this prospect, the full infusion the
entire predominance ; in fact of Whig, princi
ples, is necessary. 1 o ensure economy and fidel

in the Canal Board ; and the. election of Henry
M. Fuller, the Whig candidate to that all-important
post, will give but one Whig member, pow
erless perhaps for aiiy absolute good, but power
ful, to a great extent, in preventing evil. Of
Mr. Fuller's merits, it is scarcely necessary to
speak, a3 bis distinguished public careerhas mado

A native of the State educated to a thorough

tor a competent and faithful discharge of all the
duties belonging to the office for which he has
been selected as a candidate.
Necessary as it is for the moral influence to
be exercised, that the Canal Cbmmissidrier should
be elected, it is not le3s necessary that the Levi's,
