v LETTER FROM RICE BIRD.
HE BEGISTE.BS.
My soul was fired with patriotism yesterday
and I concluded that the best way to work it oft
was, to go and register my name among those
who possess the inestimable right of the 1 elective
fraaciuse, I thought of the dignity of holding
office' and drawing my pay every, month of
laquey s to do my bidding to run at my call arid
all those delightful episodes in au office-holders
career, i I pictured myself as an alderman, with
a gold-headed cane and .black clothes, and ' then
I dreamed of the Marshal's position, presiding
with dignity over the deliperatiohs of the police
force;; again I thought of the Mayors " place
ireceiving fines oh, that is the (place for me !
i Well,! I went to the . City .Hall, to calculate my
chances upon getting up to the board before tho
long string of anxious aud incipient voters should
record their names, but I didn't succeed. I flew
about for a while and then took my place at the
foot of the String (not ; red) in order to reach I the
Board. ' After steppins: alons: one step at-a time
for a couple of hours 1 stood in the presence of
the august Board, (a pun on the
word
August
lieu a mueureu coming up so s.uaaeniy upon
those ( Registers, and I think they: are rightly
called a "Board," for they were f the worst bored
of any , perspnis I have jnet lately, f i removed my
hat, smiled gently and asked if thfy would con
descend to receive the name of an individual
whose modesty so towered above liis real met its
that he had lived a life of misunderstood retire
ment far a long space of periods, j The B6ard inr
timated that they would be happy to receive my
name, and were just going to take it,. (I had it
all written out to give them) twhen a'stranger
stepped up and challenged me! I told him that
it was not the fighting editor, . that j had always
inclined to the Quaker persuasion 'and besides I
was conscienciously opposed to duelling. He
remarked that he "wasn't on that ay himself,'
but he didn't think I had a right to register be-
cause 1 bad given aid and conifort to the
"rebels." i I said nothing: here, because I had
nothing to say. The
head centre !of the Board
said : "Mr. Bird,
xrnn' otror o-iVAl ilTIV aifl fir
comfort to the rebels ?" v
i I replied, that I had, that on' many occasions
when they- were in prison I ha'd visited them,
when they were naked I had clothed . them and
when sick I had ministered unfo them. A thrill
of horror ran through the crowd ! A Southerner
said I was unfit to associate with high toned men
Of the South ! Which it was ; impossible for me '
to hae jdone as I said lor no Southern prisoner
ever received any kindness from thej Yankees'
4-which! they were the sorryest run of) men he
everseed! i Nothing daunted,; however, I again
turned to the Board and this time with the thun
derbolts; of rage gathering upon "my brow, and
my piercing eye gaiing full upon them I asked
what next t The Board said that" it was a great
responsibility that had been forced uponuiem,
but if I had been a soldier I could appreee the
necessities of obeying orders. I answered, fire
away. ::;v'f - 1 y,-'; ': .' ... . ; . . -
I!' Well sir," said the Board, Vwillyou swear that
you! are twenty-one years of age?" ;
j 1 'answered, "I swear." " ' 'j; .
. i Will you swear that you have eter had the
chicken pox t ' ! - ; 'A ' "
; ? ii intimated that I was willing to; and bore an
hdnorable scar. .
Oan you eat hash ? . a! '
1 HI was obliged to. reply in the negative, as rice
was my principal diet, The junior member then
'Mr. Bibd, we wish vou to answer one ques
tion without evasion, and wish you to pay par
ticular attention." . rV SJj. Y j . Y,
1 1 replied, "lam all ears, proceed.?. " . f
" WellBir," said he, Do you net think that,
owing to the incongruities of the moral affinities
lof i ? the 1 sentimentalists of the: antipodes, - tha
Bublimity of the subluminaryssphere j should so
systematise space as to cause a corresponding re
duction in the present system of taxation V1
.) I remarked that I was born of " poor but hon
est parents," like Crusoe of long agothat I had
passed a great portion of my Ule m the country,
and that the state of my finances was such as to
preclude the necessity , of aiding to ubhold this
great and glorious country ; therefore I seconded
the mntinn without amendment! i -: '
j The Board then asked me if I had a strawberry1
mark on my lert arm, wnicn Demg answered In
the negative, I was declared a citizen and entitled
to all the rights , of citizenship to belsued-fto
pay taxes and to hold office. j a 1- j . '
! I therefore announce myself as an applicant for
any : place where I can serve my country for a
suitable consideration, either Mayor, Alderman,
Chief Marshal, Sheriff, Clerk, Coroner, or Police
man.
Ambitiously,
Rice

Intelligent persons and physicians can
judge
on the efficacy of the Plantation Bitters from'the
following! partial formula : ! ;
CASCARILLA BARK
Was known and used in Germany for Dyspepsia,
Chronic i)iarrhoea,.Cholic, Dysentery, and Dis-
e ases ef the Stoaiach and Bowels, as early as 1690
DANDELION.!
' a' : : a . i . , . ! j,
For Inflamations of j the Loins and Spleen in
Dropsical Affections and Biliary ! Secretions, or
Obstructions of the Abdominal Vjscera.;
' ' I' - A" i A - 'i , :
CAtlSAYA, OR KING'S BARK,
Was unksown to civilization until the middle of
th17th century. Humboldt makes favorable
mention of the febrituge qualities of this article
as an Anrtidote Fever and Ague, Intermittent
and Malaridus Fevers, in his extensive South
American ' t ravels. The Countess, wife of the
Viceroy Oi Peru, having experienced the benefi
cial effects of the Bark, sent it to Europe in 16401
It was sold by the Jesuits for the enormous sum
ofilstoeight in silver, and was thus called Jesuits
Powdbb. ! In 1658, Sir John Talbot employed it
with great success in France, in the treatment of
Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, j Nervous Affections;
Loss of Appetite, Weakness and ! Debility, Pal-f
pitation of the Heart, Diarrhoea, &c., under the
name of English Powder ; and in 1679, he sold
the secret ol its origin to Louis XIV, by whom
it was divulged. It is now a standard remedy in
ail jrnarmaeupueiaj uuu. empioyeu in iJrepar"
Ing the Plantation Bitters. 'i ;
ChamomUle Flowers, for enfeeble Digestions ;
Wintergreen valuable for Scroiula, Rheumatism,
and Neiratic Affections ; Lavender , Flowers,, aro
matic, stimulant and Tonic, highiy invigorating
in Nervous Debility ; ; Anise, an aromatic carmi
native, creating flesh, muscle and milk. Much
used in nursing.

Another iharedient of remarkable and wonder
ful virtue used in the preparation of these Bit
ters, is a native of Brazil, and as yet unknown to
the commence oi the world. V Spanish writer
-says: -M f : ;':;a: ' -'( ' ''''.-;! ';

Ru , never fails to relieve nervous tremor, wake
fulness, disturbed sleep, &c, and that it is used
with great effect by the Brazilians, Spanish and
