" - ;i -MEDICAL QUACKS. The amount of money paid to medical quacks iu this and other cities every year is much greater than is supposed, and the ingenius ways in which Urge sums are extorted from tht-ir frightened dapes should be better understood, not only bv those; who are iu danger of becoming their victims, but by the of&oers of the law. We recently became cogtiizint of a case, which, although flagrant and cruel to the last degree, is rio worse thm" hundred 4f others occurring every day in the dens of thee thieves, scattered through some of Uie less FreqiMii ed streets of the city. : Aeenueinnn who nau in ins employ a- young man of industrious habits and up- rignt cuaracier receuuy cat lea apon us aud staled that he femed the young man had fallen into the hands of a quack in the city, who was taking all his earnings, and endeavoring to fleece him of every dollar of hi properly. He had solicited th" loan of -$700 which he confessed he desired to pay a French doctor (!) who proposed lo cure him of a dangerous dis ease. The gentleman desired as to aid him -in attempts to save the victim from the clutches pf -'tlte quackf,-andf as he had been unable to influence him, pro )osed that we allow him an interview. Llrts: we did, and learned that the young man really had no disease what ever ; that, fancying that he was sick from reading the advertisements in a newspaper, he calld upon the adverti sing, doctor, who, after thumping bis ribs aud "sunding" him with a stethoscope, pronounced htm "far gone" in consump tion. lie had already b'.-en taking lm nostrums six months,, paying large sums therefor; but at the last visit to the great French doctor he had discovered anoth ei disease, which he could not undertake to euro for less than a $1,000 cash in hand. lAs a special favor tu him, bowev er, he would cure the malady for $700 in advance ; and this sum he was endeavor ing to raise by mortgaging his little prop erty, aiid rendering himself almost peuni less. The quack was very urgeut, teh ling him that ''death stared bim la thi face ; and if be did not raise themoney at once, aud commence with his medr cities, it would soon be too late. The youngrnan, of fair intelligence, was completely deluded and thoroughly frightened bv the artful auack. aud it " O T reauired much! skill and etfort to unde eeive him. It is indeed strange that persons1 possefiing a common school eda cation can fall into such trapi ; and yet there are thousands bound baud and foot to these miserable adrertisiug quacks who, ' operating through their fears, are extorting from them every dollar ihey possess. The auuqs taken are often very Lrgrt and the iniquity is of no mean pro portion lu aetecl ana punisu inese vi k rit ' w . l T - m. I.

Journal of Chemistry. In the work of excavation steadily progressing at Pompeii, there was recently uncovered a series, of wooden tableta containing the accounts of a banker named Lucius Ecctlius Jocnn dusi Tliey were enclosed in a small wooden box-which bad been consider ably charred ion the outer . surface. The leaves of the tablets are thin7 as pasteboard, and are tied together L in sets! ofthrne by a ehod passing through holW on the edges. The outer pages, scry ing as coy ers,are clean and snioottt; and the inner ones are coated with wax, and filled with accounts Which appear to be jmainlj rocorda of loan. Near the tab jets was found a bronze bust of the tinker, bearing bis name, From forty to sixty men axa contin ually employed in the excavations. ; UDUer a 8w 6'--" of 60,000 francs.

Pa Democrat. which is owoed and edited by Hon. John A.Maeee, ex-member of Con gress; pub! isF les a telling article in regard to the vicious practice of com promising with government defaul ters. It gives a table containing the names of fourteen prominent deoul- ting collectors of internal revenue, with the amount due from j each, the amount released through compromise and the dates of the letters written by Secretaries of the Treasury approving such compromises. The total amount owed to ' the government ! bv these burteen collectors was 81.604.075.29. of which $1,231,604.77 was release and thus lost, leaving only $372,470.- oz to be restored to the Treasury. There is no aDoarent reason whv most of this stolen money should not have been recovered from the sureties. Certainly a sharp prosecution of the sureties, who were commonly respon- Ll- 1 1 1 1 r sioe men, wouia nave saved a much arger percentage than was ; saved by the suspicious system of compromise. In the case of Collector Joshua A. Bailey, who got away to Brazil, or some other safe South American coun try, with $728,891.82 of moneys col lected by him unaccounted for, the De partment kindly released $678,891.82 and compromised on receiving $50,000 though such men as George Opdyke, Aug. &chell and Thomas C. Duraud, leading capitalists of New York, were among his sureties. Why Secretaries ot the Ircasury should accept such a paltry part of debts so abundantly se cured is among the things that "no fellah can find out, or has succeeded yet in finding out. The present Dem ocratic House may manage to throw light upon it. Mr. Ma gee complains that he introduced a resolution in the last House calling for information on this subject, but the Republican man agers promptly squelched it. The power of the French, as a na tion, to find some good use for every thing was never more strikingly illus- strated than in the case of a woman who has established near Pans an in- stitution for the nroiiacatinn of the an t species. JShehas innured herself to the stings of fcer pet insects, and handles them with perfect confidence, From every brood born in her - pre- serves she selects the best "Jayenr to rear, and their eggs are sold at a fair price to bird fanciers as food" for phea- sants. The police see to it that she keeps her anthoue a good distance out of the city,, and a number of; agents are continually scouring the ' forests m the rural districts of France and capturing large nests of ants to send to her. Her establishment is, therefore, not only no nuisance to her neighbors, but a positive blessing to thousands of farming people. HOW INDIANS CURE MEATS AND :-. , DRESS SKINS. Wheu her lord has killed a buffalo the woman's work begins. She has to skin itt'the meat to secure, and all to pack up on ponies or males, and carry to camp, where the meat must be cured. 1 bis is done by cutting it iuto thin sheets, aud hanging it over poles in the hot sunshine, where it is soon dried thorough ly ; then it is packed fresh in packages of about a 100 pouuds each, and inclosed iu a nice folding sack of thick buffalo skin. prepared especially fcr the purpose. This is cut out like a huge envelope, so that the ends and sides' will fold over what ever is put In them, and secured by strong buckskin strings.

Arrangements will be made with hotels-and railroads for reduced rales of fare for all members whb may attend. A secret organization has recently been started, and has already a member ship of- 1 0.000. It is called "The Free School Guard."; Its headquarters are in Washington, D. C. The rales for gov ernment are similar to those of the Pa trons of Husbandry. In a note from Mrs. M. E. Beasley, of Charlotte, we learn that she is to have a North Carolina Boarding House ou the Centennial grounds at Philadelphia dur ing the Exhibition.

There are two dwelling houses in North Carolina and Virginia, one Kution in Virginia and the other in orth Carolina. The landlord can sleep in Virginia and breakfast in North Carolina, without going out of the house. Portsmouth Enterprise. A very prominent New York Re publican, who has been traveling all over the South, returned to Washing ton on Thursday.

Westcrn Wagons.

The New York Sun says t OnTaes day last a man representing himself as James L. Kyle went to the hardware store of Joseph II. Graham at 88-Chambers street and said that he was a brother of Mr. Kyle, of Kyle & Hammond, hard ware merchants of Charlotte, N. G;, who was known to Mr. Graham. He said that he had come to this city to boy goods for the 6rm, bat that on the train he bad lost his memorandum. He so ingratiated hiimelf into the confidence of Mr. Gra il im th it he obtained $100 from that gen llsman on a forged draft on the firm of Kyle & Hammond. He also got twelve revolvers valued at $85 from Mr. Graham. Yesterday, being in Mr. Graham's store, he was seen secreting a shoe-brash ia his pocket. Mr. Graham, having learned that the draft, was a forgery, called in an officer, and Kyle was taken to the Tombs Police Court. Mr. Graham made three complaints against Kyle, aud be was held in default of $5Q on each charge. Thr Retexwe. Under this head the Fayetteville Gasette of Feb. 3, rises to say : A correspondent has banded us is com munication for which be requests publis cation and whieh will be found in anoth er column in whieh the present status of the interna revenue department at this place is giveu. We learn from this com muuication that Capt. Blocker, in render ing an account of his stewardship to the government, shows clean hands and a square accoaut. We expected this ot Capt. Blocker, but it is a sad commenta ry ou the integrity of the party in power, ana ine honesty ot tiie eovernuient. to have to say that this official's case is a rare one. The government cheats the people, and the government's officers cheat the government and when they go to settle up there is generally a "leakage" (it used to be called stealing) of a few thousands. Capt.1 Blocker eoes out of course ; Grant's administration has no taste for honest men, and always gets rid or tneni as soon as possible.- we learn auothrr Hung by inference trdm our cor respondent which we are very glad of : Col. I. J. Young, Capt. Blocker's succes sor, will not have his headquarters at Fayetteville. We know nothing about him, and therefore say nothing against him, only that he is a radical, and so far from wanting any more here, we cottld prt with what we have without one sigh or briny tear. Above all things preserve us, good L-rd, from a Raleigh radical. MAN AND MONKEY. The London Echo, of Jan. 4, says : "The wonderful resemblance of some of the larger apes to human creatures is es pecially remarkable when they are suf fering from illness, or fiom what, so great is their intelligence, we must ac kdowledge to be sorrow. An ape of no common merit having lately died in the Zoological Gardens at Dresden, an ac count has been published of its last mo ments, which give an extraordinary idea of the almost human dignity and pathos of its behavior on the occasion. A few we ks of the destroying m daily, says a sorrowing fri.nl. had been s ffieiont to change this being, so full f liff, courage, strength this umgnificeiit proto.ty of ail quadrotuauia- iuto a spt-etncle of wis ely. The most complete apatliy had taken thu place of exuberant fresh ess and vavacity. Mafoka, as this ii.fereest- iug creatine was called, app-red to snff r under a dim conciusnss that she ; could expect no relief, but only th alle- ! vutiou irom nr pun, her. This eiate of i from those about Itl'd till within a tew hours ! her death I hrn, as Director Schopf (the director of the gardens) leaned over his favorite, the ape drew him toward bar, placed her arm around the neck of her friend, and looked at him some time with clear and tranquil eyes ; she then kissed him three times, with short intervals between each," motioned to be laid upon a couch, gave her hand to Schopf as though bid ding farewell to a companion of many happy years and slept uever to awake again. Thus died the qaasi-buman Mafuka, fortified not iudeed by "the rites of the church," but by those com mon to the wider brotherhood of trusting and affectionate hearts." DEJAZETS PETTICOAT. Writing from Paris, Edward King tells the following anecdote : "Once, be fore you or I were born, Mile. Virgiuie Dejtzet was playing in some obscure province, when a well in which a peas ant was at work caved in in such a man ner as to leave him buried, and yet alive. All France was aiouce interested in tbe fate of this unfortunate workman, and the most extraordinary efforts were made to save him. At least it was announced as positive that he would be liberated from his . confinement on a ceitaiu day. When he was drawn out of the well, cov ered with bruises, there was a grest crowd assembled to set; him. The phy- slciao, finding him completely flayed by his contact with the sand and earth which had been pressine upon hitn. bandasred him., .. At last the linen and flannel rave out. and the doctor called for more.
