- MISCELLANY.
The course of ihe stagtnvn was nearly
inn. Hackett the inimitable Hackelt
moved and delignted all. The curtain
enrae doM-n tbe lights grew; wan,anJ the
close was announced. My friend of No.
52 paused at bis seal evidently waiting
for some one. I soon saw it was for me.
About that time he srppcd up to rue and
presented card, with a formal and courtly
recognition ' Eugene Laudmnrc, M. D.,
of Ohio.' After looking over it, I drew
and presented my card 'John Welling
ton, of Tennessee,' and added, 'ready (or
joti, sir.' The gentleman looked at me
sternlyin the face paused. Then suc
ceeded that compromising smile I shall
BO" soon forgot, for it was quite a deflec
tion. ' A change came over the spirit of
hiatdrem' and. surely, pleasant enough
for meT
After n pause, ie inquired :
Do yoajsver smoke, sir, or or drink V
' Yes, sir,' 1 replied. I can vie with you
in the enjoyment of a cigar, or I can
drink; and if you wish, sir, I am ready
and prepared fcr anything.'
' Ah, str,' replied the man of No. 52. ' 1
desired novhing of a more chivalrous char
ac er'than I have proposed ; and, sir, per
mit me to insist it :s my treat !'
" 4 Well, 6ir,' said f, 'at 3'our service.'
Away we went a gLiss of wine, then
the cigars, and a few remarks on the mer
its cf each, and the gentleman and inyself,
mutually disposed to retire, exchanged
equivocal and laconic ceremonials, and
parted ; and, strange. to say. we never met
nirain in ni meer fjf y two.

IX THE WROiNS SEAT.
" You cannot bi-ttrr be cnijiltycd. Bagnio,
Than to lire still and nrite mints t-pi t a pi,
We give the following laughable inci
dent, as related by one of the parties in the
scene, as near as we can in his own pecu
liar language and style. He began thus :
Soiue years since; starting from the Si
Charles Hotel, in the city of New Orleans,
I found myself at the theatre of the same
beni sobriqwf. At the proper office I bought
iny ticket, accompanied with the number
of the seat destined for me during the even
ing. Putting the number in my vest pock
et, after a slight glance at it, I passed on
handed my ticket to the recipient of such
initiative documents. By some strange
absence of mind, or forgetfulness, I was
soon seated in " No. 52, Parquette." Pret-
ty soon, a gentleman of about fortj'-five j
years walked up, and first looked inquiring-1
iy at me, and then at the number on the
back of my seat, and said :
' Sir, this is my seat, I beliaie.' I
This is my seat, sir,' I repfieJ. j
4 This is No. 52, sir,' he continued.
: Yes, air, and that is tr.y number," con
tinued I.
' Here sir, (showing his number) is No.
52'
I, also, drew from my pocket No 52.
4 I insist,' says the gentleman of forty
fire, 'this is my seat.'
1 insist, sir,' said I, ''lis my seat I
Lave- the seat will not give it up hope,
ir, you will not molest me further.'
: The gentleman looked at me again, and
the number on the. seat 52 and contin
ued peremptorily:
- Wish my seal, sir.'
J; I regret, sir,' said 1, 'I do r.ot feel at
liberty or disposed to accommodate you at
ftti present time.' '
1 insMtt,' said the gentleman.
- I insist,' said I.
I tvish my seat, sir,' said he.
I have the sent, sir,' said I.
Growing impatient, the gentleman voci
ferated furiously, and left me, saying,
4 I'll see how 'his is.'
The curtain had not yet been raised, but
tbe time had come for the performance to
commence Merry Wives' was the play
for the evening, and Hackelt was propria
rersona, Falstaff. Of course, all were sup
posed 'elre sur le qui vice. During all the
altercation between the gentleman and
myself, each had neglected to look at the
daie of oar numbers ; and now, for the first
time, it occurred to me there might be
tome quid pro qua. Putting my hand into
my pocket, I drew but rera! numbers of
different dates. Now, thought I, there may
be a mistake, and 1 may be in fault ; and.
perchance have wronged that venerable
and dignified gentleman. I began to think
fast: Let's see, what day of the month is
ibis? Here is the 10th, 12th, and 13th of
February let roe see 13th February No.
52 ab 1 I see the error this is the 14th.
aod.nuRiberjjrm is my seat quick
where is No. 56? just the fourth seat off
I was in it iustitnter, ft tbe classic disciples
-of Tliemis say ; and no sooner regularly
sealed, than, curiously and impatiently, 1
looked to see if the old 52 was filled.
'Twos not but there came the tall gentle
man, escorted by the manager and a police
man."". Gently and quietly I turned my
face from them, but kept an eye and an
ear io that interesting direction, to see and
tiearliowVtbis novel incident wou'd termi
nate - The performance was just begin
ning as they arrived &t the old 52.
Manager -abruptly There's your
eat, sir ;-there's yotlf eat, sir; nil right,
air; no one in itf sir t told you so, sir ; told
you so, sir;; told, you,' twaa oil fight ; take
ir, siri let me hear no more from .you, or
the policeman will be under the disagree
able necessity of escorting you to the out
er doorrhii is number fifty-two.-'
file gentleman hung his head looked
bad ras'Stsed up. - - -
'Twas a long; time before I could ven
ture to look' him full in the face ; for Thad
not tnly .Hrrooged him by my beeue, but I
bad exposed him to the abuse of the offi
cial, and the ridicule of all the spectators.
Buty finally,' feeling a little sportive, I turn
ed vit-vis to my old friend of No. 52, and
gazed him full m th'iface--our eyes met
be meekly wailed aat haig hu bead. ,
I itercstins I-etter from St. Petersburg.
Interesting extract from a letter from an
American gentleman in Russia to his
friend in Washington. It is dated.
'St Peteesbtrgh, Apiil 9th, 1854.
"You will doubtless be surprised to hear
from me so near the north po!e, when you
would naturally expect me to be on my
w;y to the sunny south : but such is the
uncertainly of hitman events. Here I am
spoiling ihe double-eagles ready to ex
tract hull, amputate leg. or dress a broken
skull for ftien l or foe. I shall assist at
ihe ball given by the allied fleet at Cron
stsdt, and expect to pass the bistoury and
ihe ligature pretty freely through the fiVsh
of Jo' n Bull and Johnny Crapeau, as i'. is
my impression that they will be annihilat
ed if thej attempt the demolition of that
fortress ; but a short time now will solve
the p:ob.'em. 1 can assure you ofo ne thing,
i hat this is a most delighfu! place to so
journ for a time. The Kussian3 are just
what Virginians are represented to be:
warm hearted, polite, and hospitable peo
ple, and the ladies are peculiarly attractive
and intelligent, highly accomplished, (mu
sic here being a perfect passion) and liter
ary hops, polkas, and waltzes yielding to
conversationes and musical entertainments
I have been a quasi national guest, and
teularly handed around among the high
functionaries. The Emperor is a noble,
fine looking gentleman, very much such a
man as John S. Preston, with a counten
ance full of amiability and frankness, and
he received me with as much cordiality as
you would have done, and with an expres
sion of gratitude for my sympathy, and a
hope that my country would view this
European quarrel in the same light that I
did, &c. After the Cronstadt affair is over
here, 1 shall go down to the invading army
with a medical staff of my countrymen
that I am expecting from Paris, and spend
a short time with them, and return home
with my daughter, whom 1 have left at
school in Paris. I entered service here as
amateur, with the rank of chirurgien ma
jor ct opcrateur. It is a. high sounding ti
tle, but I expect means very little."
At this point, another American present
at St. Petersburg insists upon saying as
follows :
'I find my friend writing this letter, and
take it from under his pen just to say that
the present position of affairs between the
United States and Russia is all that could
be wished for by us, to conclude firm, last
ing, and very advantageous treaties of com
merce and alliance with this great nation
England has heretofore, with her charac
teristic shrewdness and policy, had things
all her own way. Now, the Emperor,and
gentlemen high in office here, view the
question in its proper light, and can see
that America is ihe natural and appropri
ate friend of Russia, and that Russia can
never be otherwise than friendly towards
America. They are both far removed from
each other, without any questions of con
quests and territory to produce jealousy and
quarrels, which arc eternally arising be
tween our country and that power, (Eng
land ) We want nothing which Russia
owns or desires to own. Why, then, is it
that reciprocal commerce, of great import
ance and vast profit to both parlies, (na
tions.) has not been cherished and estab
lished on an immovable basis?"
The first writer resumes :
"There are immense preparations for
war going on here, and, for the life of me,
I cannot see what ihe nlbes can effect
They certainly cannot land on the I?dliic,
and Russia will be able to keep up an im
mense army for an almost interminable
length of lime in the Danuhian vicinage.
Turkey is nova defunct ; and the belligerents
will only fight for grandeur, as they say
out West. We have become the great
nation at last, fulfilling the Fourth of July
orator's boast of the eyes of all the tcorld be
ing turned io . - Our position is - every
where discussed ; whether we will stifl
contend against the right of search ; and
what we will demand in the interest of our
commerce as neutrals, which" is bound to
b very much extended during this strug
gle.; As for this government, they will
hereafter give us greater advantages
over . any other country, if we will only
profit by it, which the Yankees are keen
enough to do, if properly supported. 1
shall ask permission to-morrow to go down
to Moscow for R sw days, to view the old
capital and its antique sights before the
ice leaves the Qulf Tand Ihe Neva, as it is
: expected to cleat the wa ror piling up the

Established in order to uffjrd the Afflicted
sowtd and scientific .t.edicul Aid,
andfor'the sujj.res.iion of
Quackery.
DR. I. B. Smith has for many years devoted his
wbcilea.ienuod to the treatment ol Private tom
ptainis, in ail their varied and complicated forms.
His ureal success in those long standing nnd diffi
cult cases, such as were formerly considered incur
able, is sufficient to commend him to the public us
worthy of the extensive patronage he has received.
Within the last eight years, Dr. S. has treated more
than 29,500 eases of Private Complaints, in their
different forms and stages; a practice which no
doubt exceeds that of all other physicians now ad
vertising in Baltimore, and net a single case is
known wli.-re his directions were siricil) followed,
and medicines taken at reasonable lime, without
effect ing a radical and permanent cure ; th-reforr,
persons afflicted with diseases of the above nature,
' no m i Ui;r How difficult or lon standing the case
may be," would do wtll io call on Dr. Smith, at his
office. No, 16, South Frederick St.. and If nrtt i rlec.
tuatly relieved no remuneration will be required for
his serviet'S. His medicines are free from Meicury
and all mineral poisons ; put up in a neat and com.
pact lorui, and may be taken in a public or piivatc
house, or while travelling, wiihout exposure or hin
drance from bu.-iness. and except incases of vio
ent inflammation, no cliunge of din is necessary.
STRICTURES. Dr. Smith has dis'Oveitd a
new method by which he can cure the worst formof
stricture and that wiihout puin or inconvenience to
the patient. Irrigation of the urctha, or prostrate
gland, or neekof the blmlder.is sometimes mistaken
Icr stricture by general practitioners or charlatans.
YOUNG MEN
and others afflicted wiih Seminal Debility, wheth
er originating from a Certain Destructive Habit, or
from any other cause, with train of bodily and men
tal evils which follow, when neglected, should ni ike
an early application, thereby avoiding muchtruiible
and sutleiing, ns well as expense. By his improved
method of treatment, Di . S. cun safely guarantee a
speedy and perfect cure in allcasisol il.it coin
plaint. TO FEMALES.
All diseases peculiar to Females (as also Sup
pressions, Irregularities, ifcc.) speedily and effectu
ally removed. The efficacy of his remedies, for the
cure of theabove uffoclions, have been well tested
In n extensive practice for the luM twi tvo yeurs.
Persons at a distance may consult Dr. S. by a
letter, post-paid, describing cose, and have medicine
securely put up and forwarded to any part of the
United St ttes. always accompanied with full and
explicit directions for use. Communications con
sidered strictly confidential. Office arranged with
separate apartments, so I lit t patients never see any
one but the; d ctor himself. Attendance daily, from
B in the morning till 0 at niyht.
N . I! Persons afflicted .with any of the above
complaints, will do well m a .'oid ihe various
NOSTRUMS AND SPECIF ICS,
advertised by Apothecaries and DrugisiE as a cer
tain cure for any and every disease. They are put
up to sell, bat not to cure, and frequently do much
more harm lhan uood theref .re avoid them.

ASTONISHING CURE.
Patterson-, N. Y , 2Cth, 1S51.
Messrs A B. &. D Sands: GcniL-mcn. Hav
ingwiinessedlhemostbenenci.il effects from the
use of yor Snrsaparilla, it gives me pleasure to
send you the following statement in regard to my
son. In the spiingof 184S he took a severe cold,
and after eight wetka of severe suffbiing the dis
ease settled in his lcil li'g and foot, which soon
swelled to the utmost. The swelling was lanced
bv his physician, and discharged most profusely;
after lh it no less th;in clevi n ulcers formed on the
eir nnd foot at on time. Wehad fivedifT-rent Phy
sicians, but none relieved 1-im much ; and the last
winter found him so emaciated and low that he was
unable to leave bis 1 cd. suffering the nvst excrucia
ting pain. During this time the bone had become
so much uficcted that piece after pi gw-came out, of
which he has now more ihan twentffive preserved
in a bottle. varine from one half to one and n half I
inches in length. We had given up all hopes of his
recovery, butal this time we were induced to try
your Saisaparilla, and wii h its use his health and
appetiie began immediately lo improve, a nd so rap
id was the change that lesj than a dozen bottles ef
fected a perfict cure.
With gratitude, I remain truly yours,

These chains were first introduced in the city ol
New ork less than one year since, and alter be
ing subjected to the most thorough-trial in ever
hospital in the eiiy by Drs. Valentine Motf, Posy
Carnoehan, and Van Buren, it was discovered ihai
they possess stranye and wonderful power in the
reliuf and cure ol the above class of diseases, and
they at once recommended, through ihe papers ol
the city, their general nee, and their sale and the
success that has attended their use, is unparalleled.
Previous to their introduction into this country,
i hey were used in every hospital in Europe, and
ari secured by paientsin France. Germany, Austria,
Prussia, and England; aid also in the United
States.
Think close and ponder well."
The principles upon which it Is claimed that the
Chains produce their marvelous cures ure, first
that all nebvocs pisfases are attended and pro
dueed by a deficient supply of nervous fluid and
an agent that rest mbUs cloesly ileeiricitv orciec
t ro magnetism ; and second t hat t he elect jo mag
mtic chains. by being wornoverandupont he pan
and organ diseased, furnish to thecxhausted nerv
ous evsiem, by its powerful stimulating eflccts, the
nrvous fluid which is required lo produce a heal
hey action through the entire system. Nodisgust
mg nostrum is allowed to betaken while using
the chai ns, but a rigid observance of the general
laws of health are rcquirtd. Brisk friction upon
the part diseased add- much to the effect of ihe
chains, by incr. asing the! r magnetic power.

will be given to an person who will produce so j
many well autheni ica ted certificates of cures boib
from intelligent palienis and scientific physicians,
as have been affected by Pulvermache'a Electro
Chains. They never fail to perform what they are
advertised to do, and no person has ever been di.
satisfied who has givt n thi ni a trial.
In female Diseases,
more than one hiii.it red permanent cures of pro
lapsus uteri have been effected within the last year
bv the use of these chains By applying one end
of the chain over the region of trie abdomen and
t e other upon the spine, just above the hips, the
usual severe symptoms incident to that disease art
at once removed.
Mode or Use.
The chain should be moistened before use with
common vinesar, and then one end of the chain
i-hould be applied directly to the scat of the pain
or disease, nnd the other end opposite to it. - Call
upon Dr. Evans, and obtain a pamphlet (gratis.)
He will also explain their mode of use to all who
may desire it. Physicians are respectfully invited
to call and investigate theirmerits.

A FAITHFUL DOG. t-j ;
A noble pointer, rejoicing in the .name ,
of "Dallas," made his first appearance in ;
this citj', a few days since, after an absence
of six months from his owner, who had
long ago given him up as lost. The mas
ter became a resident of this city in De
cember last, and not being willing to part
from Dallas, on account of attachment
formed during leu years' ownership of, and i
friendship for him, had him put on board
the steamer Fash. on at August, duly
consigned to Savannah. About ninety
miles above here, Dallas contrived to make
his escape from the boat, thinking, doubt
less, that he was being carried uway from
his master anil was not heard of again un
til a duy or tw-o since, when he arrived
I ere almost famished, Jean, worr, and a
mere wreck of the noble animal who had
once been Canine King of Augusta, and
'held up his head in the best society."
We need hardly Bay that ibe meeting' be-
tween him and his master was a joyful .
one. How he ascertained that Savannah
was to be his future home, or how be maQ-
aged during his six months' pilgrimage in t
search of his master, to work out the pro
blem of his whereubut, is more than we
can tell. '
We regret to learn that Da Iks has be
come deaf during bis travels,, and possibly r
will never again hear the kind yoice ol his'
best friend. He is, however, improving in
lieaiih and looks, and perhaps may recover
his hearing in due course of htm. As least
we hope so ; for so faithful a creature,
brute though he is, deserves to have every
channel open to him through which to re.
ceive the kind words and good opinions of
all who value true affection-v
