Private Claims ox the Goy.EH x m knt. Tt
is stated in the report of a committee, appointed
by a meeting lately held in Washington by the
claimants fnoni different States of the I'nion, that
there are hundreds of cases on the dockets of both
Houses, which have been favorably reported by
unanimous votes of the committees to which thev
were referred, man v of which have passed one or
the other branch of Congress, and finally failed for
the want of action in the other branch. Many
claims of acknowledged justice have been before
Congress for fifty yrars and upwards, and defeat
ed by a minority, on account of the miserable rules
adopted by Congress. The Claimants' Commitke
think, and no doubt correctly, tlmt since the per
diem was abolished, Congress has shown much less
disposition to work than before, aud that the peo

for a restoration of the per diem.

Plan to Prevent Duels. The Vicksbutg
Whig has a friend, who proposes a new plan for
the suppression of duelling, which, if it obtains,
will now. hereafter, and forever, put an end to the
burning of gunpowder between gentlemen at 10
paces. The arrangement proposes that when a
difficulty occurs between two gentlemen, the mat
ter shall be referred to a court of honor, who shall
settle it. or decide whether it is necessary to fight
or not. In case of the court deciding in favor of
a fight, the parties to be compelled to fire until one
is hilled, and the other to be arrested and hang for
murder.

EmK.HA TIO OF FRFK N E6SOr8 TO J. MAlCA. A
public nieetitoj: was held at Kington. Jamaica, on
the 23d of April last, to devise measures for
inducing the free colored population of our
Southern States to emigrate to that Inland. The
meeting appears to have embraced the leading
men of Kingston.
The result of the meeting was the adoption of
resolutions urging the Legislature, at its next
session, to provide a fun;1, for conveying to Jt:tnaica
2 such free negroes from the United States as can be
induced to go. This measure was thought too
O sfor by a portion of those assembled; but it was
a understood that m?jii must be provided at the
llj; lU' ADd ; public expense, and consequently that legislative
Mareh 2, H-"- 7 F. SCARR & CO. agency must necessarily be mvoiied.
by long ueck instead of a liead.
I On a closer examination we found that Mrs
I Hays was in a spasm, that although reclining su
i pinely and at full length, her head was doubled
i back and under her neck, in such wise as to bring
i her face into immediate contact with the pillow,
i thus giving that awful appearance of a terminal
I head-stalk, that so startled us at the first sight,
j At this time there was no outward sign of respira- 1
j tion, the only motion of the person visible being a 1
; twitching of the left shoulder. "While we were '
i observing her in this condition, she suddenly i
I brought her head forward uith a powerful motion 1
of the muscles of the neck, r.nd commenced throw- '
ing the upper portion of her body about in the '
most violent manner, bringing her head down to
the bed with each convulsion with a force sufficient
to have broken it had it met with any hard sub-
stance: "hese motions cont.nued for nearly a
j minute, and ended temporarily by her throwing '
j herself back upon the piliow with her head partial- J
j ly doubled under. y this time she hi d recover-
j ed her breath, which she drew with short and quick 1
; successive spasmodic efforts. 1 his condition was ;
I immediately followed by the most violent twitch
j nigs, whereupon we all left tho room. As soon as 1
wc were outside the door, Mr Hays, who followed
j us. assured us that whenever her spasms left ber.
he ami all others were obliged to leave the room,
inasmuch as the presence of any one when she
breathed rendered her sick. In a few minutes the
spasms returned with inereastd vin'er.ce, followed
by a course of proceedings similar to that de
scribed above, and during the quarter of an hour
that we remained at the house, this programme J
was four times repeated. When we left her she:
was lying supinely with her head doubled br.ek
and facing the pillow, and with the exception of a
violent twitching of the left shoulder, motionless.
During ber convulsions, she would at times, j
while resting on her b;.ck, elevate her person so as
to form a semi-circle, the termini of the curve j
being her feet at one end of the arc, and her face J
buried in the pillow at the other. Whenever she
threw her head 1 aek in the peculiar manner al
ready described, her face would a per flushed, and j
after her most violent motions her brow would be j
moist with prost ration. Tbe ap oaraneo of her
skin may be likened to that of an infant's, aud is i
very soft to the touch. She is short in statue,
slight in person, delicate in formation, has small
hands and feet, and is about twenty-eight years of
age. Her hair is black, and it is said that neither j
it nor her nails grow. She lias been married about (
twelve and a half years, and has bad four children,
three of whom are now living. Her illness com-'
menced on the 8th of Xovi mbcr, 1 S54, and fir: t i
developed itself in a lamei.ess of the back and
across the bips. She souii became unable to stand
on her feet.
One day as ber nurse was aiding her to get from j
her bed to a chair, she fell to the floor, and in
consequence of this accident, was confined to ber
bed until July, ISoo. She was then taken with j
spasms, which continued ever since, but are much j
lighter now than formerly. 1 hose who arc ac-;
quainted with the facts in the case agree in saying
that she subsisted entirely upon apple sauce and
berry sauce, not averaging more than three or four
spoonsful per day, from carl in June, 1855, to I
the L8th of June, 1850, and that from the latter
date to the 20th of rebrr.arv, 1858, her nourish- !
ment was in a liquid form, and consisted chiefly of I
lemonade, in the composition of which a pound and
a half of sugar and sixteen lemons were used.
Deling this latter period of eight months she took, ,
in addition to the lemonade, twenty drops of lam!- :
anuin, two teaspoonsful of ferry juice, and one tea-
oonful of currant juice. This was the whole of,
her diet. Since the 20th of l'obruary, 1857, to
the present time, she has eaten nothing and drunk (
nothing.
Tf 'now you ask me what my opinion is concern
ing this woman, 1 reply that I am inclined to be
lieve that she does live without eating or drinking.
Several physicians have visited arid examined her. '
One of them avows that ber heart and lungs are 1
perfectly sound, and that her blood is in a healthy
j state, with a circu'ation quite perfect. This, he
i supposes, is the came of the comparatively fresh,
j healthy and active condition of many portions of;
! her system. On the other hand, he declares that
the action of her stomach and liver is susp ended,
j and that for this reason she rejects all nutriment, j
One question, however, I cannot satisfactorily ans-
, wer, and that is this: Loes the waste and wear of;
i her body act on the fluids of her system or on the '
muscular tissues ? If it is on the former, then it 1
may be possible to solve the problem of her exist
. ence in her present state from the known laws of ;
'physiology. If, on the other hand, the mu.-culnv j
fabric is made to bear the burden of her tremen
dous ennvu'sions, then the mystery deepens and the !
I explanation beconics more and more invcTvcd.
i She docs not talk, the only noise that escapes
her bewjr a stifled groan, and n.cny sujipo.se that
she neither sees nor hears. Whatever the truth
; may be in regard to this case, one tiling is cer
tain, and that is this, a thorough investigation ofo
the whole matter frhould be made by competent '
; medical men, and a report thereon sin old be given
, to the world. Corrr:-. Truy Doily XS'lthj.

Oi'T ok Kv;ii.oymknt There are more men
out of employment in Cleveland now, says the
Plaindcalcr, than there ever were before at this
season. They must live, and are willing to work ,
cheap. Something sbould be done immediately I
toward providing work for the needy and deserving
mechanic and laborer. In Chicago there are ten
men seeking employment where only one can get .
it. The city laliorers there are now working lor
half a dollar a day; and thousands almost starving
for want of work. Farmers in Northern Illinois
are hiring men at eight dollars a month. In Buf
falo, hundreds of men are out of employment, and
in Detroit the same is the case.

TlIK ntt'RISICXTATlVK FROM HAMILTON.
"In early days, old t Harriaon was elected to
the legislature from 1 1 am iibui County," said an old
fellow, as wc were .seated around the little hotel nt
Mcbanesborvugh, Hamilton County, Illinois.
"Old Nat wns a regular brick he was elected
just because there was no one to run in opposition
to him. Our country was rather bad off for intel
ligent people in tlibse days. A few days after old
Nat bad gone to Springfield, to attend to the
duties of his rdnec, I happened to be there also, on
some business of a private character, and thinking
he would be glad to hear from the folks at home.
1 conclnded to call on him at the 'Prairie,' and en
quire after his health."
"I've, lieeji well, Tmi," said he, ''but I got aw
fully scared the first night 1 staved iu thi darned
place."
"How was that ? I inquired.
"Well," said Xat, "1 11 tell you all about it.
You see that follow behind tho couuter the fel
lows here call him host well, I told him I wanted
to see my bed, so I'd know where to sleep when
I'd come in after a while. Ho took mo up stairs to
a little room, and-said I could sleep there, and then
he went down. 1 took good notice of it brown
door with yellow streaks here and there, and a
white airthcu lock handle I started down, a
thinkin' about this, au' wouldn't look at no other
door, for fear I'd kinder get 'em mixed up in my
head, and forget which was mine.
"About twelve o'clock that night, I came in
with a hart growin' honimiti in my head, and the
very first thing I found at the top of the stairs was
my identical door, with the yellow streaks and
w bite lock handle. (j!ok1 says I, and in I lumbers.
I walks up to tho bed aud what do you think t
Why 1 found one of your long legged, blaek w his
kered town fellows iu it fast asleep. I takes him
by the head, rears him up on his end and given
him a short na rutin; tells him to leavo its quick as
double triggers, or I'd be eusscd if 1 wouldn't kick
him down stairs; tells him 1 don't want to do it
nitther, for I was a member of the legislature, and
Representative from Hamilton, but if 1 got to
lighting he'd find me a full team.
"The fellow looked awfully scared, and without
saying a word he got up, very humble, like, and
started for bis dry goods which hung on a chair up
in one corner. 1 sot down the light and begun to
undress; and says I to him, draw on them duds
and toddle from here, or I'll be darned if I I
(turning round to look fierce at him) fceei him a
Coram' at me with one of the dod droddest butcher
knives in the world. Well, thought 1, Nat, you've
got yourself into a tight place by Jingo! and so we
began to iuiiibT around the room like the very
nation. Here 1 went, and here he catne. At last
1 got between him and the door, and out I shot.
"This treats all, saiet I; Jleprescntatte of the
Legislature treated in thin way. I went down
stairs and told the feller behind the counter that
some cuss was in my room."
"No. I gness not," said he, "perhaps (here is
some mistake; your s is No. o."
Thinks I perhaps there may be sonic mfstakc,
and so I goes back. When 1 got to the top of the
stairs I began to count at the first door, and until
I had counted eight. 1 found that they all looked
just exi.ctly alike. I oi eiod the eighth door and
went in, feeling certniu that was the one picked
out for me. A caudle was burning on the table,
by the light of which T saw that some pcifon was
in ie:l. Not feeling inclined to kick up another
muss, I concluded to crawl iu with him and say
nothing about it. In a very short time I was Ut
bed and ready to gu to pleeb, 1 had not been in
bed long before the door opened, a young man and
woman came iuto the room and took scats by the
candles tand.
"Something else on hand, Nat," thought I to
myself, but let 'em rip."
They looked very serious at first, but it finally
wore off, and they got to chattin' very lovingly,
and to hoggin' and kissin' a little. I was delight
ed with the affair, ami thought the feller in bed
with me ought to see it and enjoy the fun too, so
I whispered to him :
"Say, Captain old boss just look up."
They both started up, like a 'lectricity shockin'
mill had touched 'em, and tlwy seemed to he orful
ly scared, till the gall said it was only the wind
blowing agin the winder.
"They soon got to huggin' and kissin' again, and
as I could not rouse my friend 1 thought I'd just
have a little fun to myself. "Slips !" says I, jest
as they were fetching lips together, and up they
sprung like Iightnin' ana sloje'd for the door, but
as fortune would have it, the young fellow dropped
the key and couldn't get out.
"Never mind," said I, "it's fun for ine as well
as you. I love to see such things go ou."
"This seemed to scare them more than ever. It,
was rich too rich to enjoy alone, and I determined
to wake up my bed fellow; I slapped him ou the
chin it was cold as ice
"Thunder and St. Louis, Nat," said T, yon're iu
bed with a dead man, and without waiting to con
sider the matter I sprung to the floor. The
youngsters gave a loud squall, fctclmd agin the
door, and T pitched with them, which resulted iu
smashin' tho darned thing open. Without wait
ing for formalities we all bolted for the stairs.
Hearing the racket, the landlord, who occupied a
room further back came bolting after us. Catch
ing a glimpse of him I took him to be the dead
man, and so put all steam on, and ran close in the
wake of the lovers. I couldn't pass them, how
ever, for they were frightened out of their senses,
having no idea but that I was the deceased in cJo?;
pursuit. In this condition wc all tumbled protnis
cnoosly down stairs to the bar room.
"Now let's take something, old hoss," 6aid Nat,
"but don't say anything about it when you get
home, or Sally mav be uneay about me."
Cube for Burns. As accidental burning is of
almost daily occurrence, we copy the following
simple cure for it: "The Gazette Mcdicalc of
France savs that, by an accident, charcoal has been
discovered to be a cure for burns. By laying of
cold charcoal upon a burn, the pain subaidea
immediately. By leaving the charcoal on one
hour, the wound is healed, as has boeu demonstrated
ou several occasions. The remedy is cheap and
simple, and certainly deserves a trial."
