BED RErUHLICANISM IN RICHMOND.
The citizens of Virginia have not here
tofore been aware that they were suffering
under any very terrible tyranny, unless it
wore one of their own making; quite to
their liking, therefore; and, therefore again,
felt as a benefit, not a tyranny. Certainly,

To this foolish and destructive process,

There had been no studied effort to pro
duce effect in the arrangement, but when
the Council was assembled, it certainly
presented as fine a field for a painter or
laguerreotypist as could any where be
found, and I deeply regretted that among
the many American artists, there was not
one present. I procured the service of a
man in Capt. I>uncan’8 company, to make
a sketch for me. Ho has not yet com

might be made models for more civilizcfl

in a cluirch.
I have alluded more particularly to the
assemblage* and appearances this morning,
for tiie reasfui that it was the first and
best opportunity presenti'd to sec all the
Indians in a body. In all its asj.ects, it
w.ts new to me, and :i thmsanl incidents,
which will not bear rejyetition, were of
ileep interest. It is an undoubti'd fact
that the bearing, character, manners, cour
age, liabits and nearly all leading charac

mountains, strongly contrast with that of
the more easterly Imlians,—say trom the

Mune moment. It was suggested by an
essay in the I,ond'>n Lanci t on the ‘‘})hy-
siolo^y and pathohtgy of the oxalate amJ
pho'phate of lime, and their rilation to
tli'- formation of ce!I>. ”
“’I'he conclusions of the author, ; s;.ys
Professor Stone,) are based Upon careful
eheinieal research and result.' from the u.se
of the remedy. Hi^ rest arches .>ho\v that
in man, as well as in vegetables and infe
rior animals, phosphate of lime as well as
alKunu'u and fat is absolutely essential for
the formation of cells, and he considers
tiiat in.iny of the pathologic.il states of the

infantile atrophy: in those sufb ring from
rickets and eoiix-quent diarrluea anl tu-

lungs in the curly stages.”
Struck by this article, Prof ssor Stone
te.'ted, and he thu> de.scribes three cases
in which its \irtue.' were \(*rv d»vious.—
rile first was that of a sla\e, ho was ad
mitted to the I’rotc'sor's Inlirmarv in July,
with a dise.ise of the nose, the whole sy>;-

decay'. The usual remedies wcrc unsuc-

liver .il Was usetl, but the di.sorganizittion
of the stomach was increased by it. The
phosphate of lime was then applied—i-ight
grain.—three times a ilay. Its l^hkI ef
fects Were soon apparent. If aiul the oil
were, ther. forc, atiministeretl to^rpthcr, and
the patient soon was rcstoreil to health.
'I’he se. oiiil ca'c is that of a y oung ladv,
agcl l!4. Ib r di-ea^e was one of “un
mixed phthisis, which might have been
e.xpected to ternmi.ite in the course of a

both hi r lungs were fdled with tubuchs.
and in some places Wcre beginning to soft

I he treatment of col-]iver oil was at first
used, but without niarki d improvement.
The phosphate of lime was tlu*n adminis
tered with the oil, and the result, as in the
•a.se of the negni, was .soon apjiarent. The
patient was rapidly getting well.
J he thini case was that of a ehihl, seven
years of age, in which the phosphate of
lime was used with comph'tt* success.
We can only refer briefiy to these cases
for the purpost; of direi ting attention to
the subject. Before the dreadful discast's
which they «h-scribe scientific men have

The other ajiologized, on th(> ground that
he was not aware of his being so near a
house. “It makes n» difference,” sail the
owner of the .soil, “yam shan't make such
a noise here, and if you do it again. I'll
bi>ak every bone in your body.” “Look

“That’s right,” said 1 to my friend ,
Simpkins, the baker, as the sickly lt>oking
widow of Harry Watkins went out of his
shop door with a btaf of bread whieii he
had given her—“that’s right, Simpkins; I
am glad you are helping the poor cn*ature, !
for .she has a hard time of it since Harry-
died, and her own health failed her.”
“Hard enough, sir, hard enough; and 1
am glad to help her, though what I give
her don’t cost much—onlj/ a trifle, sir!”
“How often di>«*s she come?”
“Only three tinit*s a week. I told her
to come ofteiier, if she needed to, but she i
.says three loavc*s are a plenty for her and
her little one, with what she get>; by sew- i
ing.” 1
“And have you many more such cus
tomers, Simpkins?”
“Only two or three, sir.”
“Only two or threel why, it must be a
tax upon your profits?”
“O no, not .so much as you sup]»ose; al
together it amounts to onli/ a trijlc."
I could not but .«mile as my friend re
peated these word.s; but after I left him,
I fell to thinking how much good he is
doing with a trijie.” He supplies
three or four families with the bread they
eat from day to lay and though the actu
al cost for a year shews but a small sum
in dollars and cents, the benefit conferred
is by no means a small one. A tdxpeuce

and wherewithal to be clothed,” i» nothing,
but is something to one on the verge of
starvation. And we know not how much
