At you valuf the life and health f your children, and with to tave them from ihotf tad and bhghting consequence* which are etrtain to result from the tise of narcotics of which all other remedies for Infantile Complaints are composed, take none but Dr. ICatoii’B Infantile Cordial; this you can rely upon.

Hearing that a trial for felony would take place in a few days, he determined to volunteer for the defence. The prisoner was charged with having stolen a pistol; the defence was, “not guilty.” The volunteer counsel con ducted the case with great ability. He confused the witness, palavered the court, and made an able, eloquent, and successful argument. The prisoner was acquitted—he had not stolen the pistol. The counsel received the enthusiastic ap plause of the audience. His innocent client availed himself of the earliest interval of the hur-* ricane of congratulations to take his counsel aside. “My dear sir,” said he, “you have saved me, and I am very grateful. 1 have no money, do not ex- ■ pect to have any, and do not expect ever to see I you again; but to show that I appreciate your { services, you shall have the pistol!” So saying he drew from his pocket, and presenffed to the astonished attorney the very pistol the attorney had just showed he had never stolen or had in his possession. Queer Affair.—The Christian spirit of doing unto others as you would not like to have them do unto you, is beautifully illustrated in Twenty- third-street. In building those ornamental stoops in which our fine brown-stone dwellings do most j delight, it is customary to entrench with the I curve of the lower pillar upon your neighbor’s r lot, allowing the scroll to describe a moderate- ^ \ ^ g sized comma in front of bis domains. He, in .\0 nt IN €wlVEX, Ihrt , turn, turns his flourish on his neighbor’s premiaes from and after^ this date, a// pe^mns thus this gentle encroachment becomes the rule of the block. But in front of one house the customary curve of the pillar is omitted; the flourish is brought to a very abrupt termination; and the reason is explained by a conspicuous pla card on the premises, and an inscription written in black paint upon the pavement: “'n»is stoop mutilated because of a disobliging neighbor.” Ntw York Times. ^ Extent of the Empire of Jnpan.—It may in terest some of our readers to know what is inclu- XOTICE.

Japan proper consists of three large is lands, Nipim, iviu-siu, and Sikokoki. Of these, Nipon is the largest, and contains the capital of the empire, Yeddo. These are surrounded by a vast number ol‘islaiid.s, most of which little or no- ihiiig is known of; estimated by some at 7 UUO, and again by others at o,UUU. The dimensions of the empire are about 171,UUO square miles—a little larger than the six Mew England states, and >iew York, l’enn.sylvania, and New Jersey together. The population is variously estimated at from 15,- OUU.UUU to 50,UU0,UUU, and does not probably fall short of 8U,0UU,UUU.—Exchnnije paper. Jiuif(/in(/, I’ast and Prrscnt.—A London paper says, after making allowance for the foundations, galleries, &c., and reducing the whole to one uni- i'orni denomination, it will be found that the la bor expended on the Great Pyramid was about equivalent to lifting lo,73o,OOU cubic teet of stone one foot high. This labor was ])erformed according tj l>iodoniH iSicultiR, by 300,UOU men; according to llerudotus, by 10U,UUU men; and it, required for the execution twenty years. If we reduce in the same manner to one common de nomination the labor expended in constructing the London and Birmingham Kaiiway, tite re sult is 25,000,000 cubic leet of material, (reduetj^ to the same weight as that used in constructing the Pyramid,) lifted one foot high, or 9,267,000 cubic feet more than were lifted one foot high in the construction of the Pyramid; yet this im mense undertaking has been performed by about 20,000 men, in less than five years. The Rochester Union says: “That great work . of art, the Niagara Suspen.^ion Bridge, has lately J^OllCC# undergone a very minute and careful in.spection. Taken up and committed to the Jail of Cumberland | It is pronounced by those competent to examine County, on the 1st of .May I860, as a runaway, a i it as perfect as when it was completed, and there I negro who says he is fi^ee, that his name is HENDEK- evidence of weakness in anv part. ‘ SON SE.^RS, and that he is from Davidson County, and 1 , - . , ■ , ■ -j ' ' 1 hose best ac(|Uainted with the bridge express the conviction that a century of time will make no impre.ssion upon the structure in any part. It will be looked upon by future generations with admiration as a work of wonder and a triumph of mechanical skill.” 15 do LEMONS. 2t>0 do Fine FIGS. iVew York Apples, Cooking Prunes, and large Stock of Confectioiiaries, at Hotel Building, No. 40.
