GREAT OURE OF RHEUMATISM CONTRACTED UNDER TROPICAL CLIMATES. Bautruonz, Md., June 4, 1854. Mr. Sockbridge, of the Fountain Hotel, Light street, Baltimore— Dear Sir: Being on the point of leaving the city, I avail myself of a few idle moments to nk you kindly for the medicine you sent me, and #hich has recvored me to the use of my limba. I beg you to send me four bottles more, to carry on my voyage. Bicce I had the fortune to use Dr. Hampton’s Vege table Tincture my confidence is so strong that, in gratitude ‘o the proprietors of said medicine, I beg you to present my respects to them, and induce them to make it more publicly known as a sure Kheumatic cure. Having called on me on the 19th cf April last, and eeen me prostrated on my bed, useless in all my liabs, you can see nearly as well as myself the prompt relief [ received from Dr. Hampton’s Tincture, and I am positive had it not been for your strong and forcible recommends- tioas I should still have been in bed. It ia really a pity this specific should not be sp- proved by medical men, and like all patent drugs it should suffer the imputation the public generail; give to such preparations. I myself, who was al- ‘ways op) to a patented specific, took this medi- cine with reluctance, and without confidence in it, and it was only through your disinterested, friendly recommendations, and my critisal situation that in- duced me to try this realiy beneficial Vegetable You may inform Messrs. Mortimer & Mowbray that they are at liberty te make use of my name in the suppert of the good effects of Dr. Hampton’s Veyetadie tincture, a3 it has cured mein five wecks efa chronic Inflammatory Rheumatism, contracted under tropical climates, and of seven years’ x duration. I have only usei three boitles, and find tiat even the deformed parts of my hands are fast returning o their former natural appearance. I have been under the treatment of several phy- Sicians in London and Paris, without any apparent benefit; also, while in New York, having tried the ‘bompsonian and Homeepathic remedies, after hav- ing been tormented with galvanic ba’teries, cold and aromatic baths, and huadreds of internal and external medicines, all to no effect, I am, so tar, cured by this Hampton’s Vege abie Tincture only. ‘Wherefore, my -ear sir, accept of the assurance of my gratitude, and believe me your well wisher. — Tomas CANo?.

If the reader will promise not to laugh I will give nim the story of my first visit toan opera masquerade. I had come up to London from Manchester by coach, having several orders to take, and wish- ing personally to see after our agents, be- sides having about two thousand pounds to receive on account of our firm. Well, you must know that we had only one inside passenger beside myself, who ap- peared a discreet, proper behaved man, and rather gave me to understand that he was aclergyman. Some how or oth- er, I don’t know why, the conversation turned on my affairs, when I told him exactly what I was coming up about: and indeed produced one or two of the bills I had in my pocket book, as he of- fered to tell me whether the drawers and acceptors were good; where they lived and all other information relative to them. We had a very pleasant journey, and I was quite disappointed when my friend got out just before we entered Lon- don, as I was much delighted with him, and anxiots te renew our acquaintance. I unfortunatly agreed—not that I ap- prove of such things, but merely as a matter of business—to meet him that evening at the opera masquerade. Nay, don’t start—I merely consented to go there to receive a considerable order the gentleman offered to procure for me, and give me there. LT accordingly got up about 12 o’clock at night, for 1 went to bed directly I arrived in Charing Cross, and walked from my hotel tothe opera house. Oh, such a scene, such confusion, such hurley-burley, I never beheld. Shop boys aping the leading fashionables of the day; married men in dominos seeking in- trigues, or looking after suspected wives; ballet girls dressed up; courtezans almost undressed, pushing, squetzing, josiling along. All, in short, seemed to have forgotten their natural decency, and nothing but my desire to meet my friend, could have tempted me to remain. Presently, a very elegant-looking female came up to me. She was very closely masked, but from the delicacy of her hands, I saw she was a lady; and the head of her domino, once falling back, gave me an idea that she was young and pretty. To my as- tonishment, she addressed me by name, and told me several things, for which I am even yet ata loss to account. She took my arm, and I must confess I spent the time very pleasantly in her company; so much 60, as almost to make me forget the person I came to seek. About 3 o’clock, she proposed that we should sup; but as she said it would be impossible for a lady of her rank to un- mask in the public theatre, we drove to a very highly respectable coffee-house hard by, where we enjoyed an excellent supper. Filled with admiration at her exceeding beauty, I drank but little. The little, however, she helped me to, and I confess, I enjoyed my champagne doubly, coming from so fair a hand. All of a sudden, I felt myself falling off into a most delicious slumber. I vainly strove to fight against it. The lovely creature, before whom I could not do so rude a thing as sleep, far from being annoyed at my failing faculties, actually came around, and the last thing that I can recollect was her gently placing a pillow beneath my head. From that moment till the next morning, I have no recoilection of what had passed. It was about 12 o'clock the following day when I awoke. [ found myself in a very handsome room, my head still con- fused from my orgies of the preceding night, and my left arm bound up. I rang the bell, and learned to my great sur- prise that I was still in the hotel where I had stopped: and just as I had apparent- ly concluded that meal, I had been taken with a fit or somniferous attack of such determined obstinacy, that though asur- geon had been sent for and bled me, it had been deemed advisable to have me removed instantly to bed. The waiter congratulated me on my recovery. “And the lady 2’? demanded 1, re- membering my companion of the last evening. “Oh, sir, she was ingreat distress, she told us she was your niece; and said she would call before 9 o’clock this morning, to ask after your health.” “Did she do so ?” “Oh, Lord, yes sir, she was here by 8 o’clock, and took away a bundle with her; and then she came again about an hour ago, and brought something back with her. She said it was your linen, and as she was so nearly related to you we allowed her to do so.” My first thought was that I had been robbed. I jumped up directly, but found my things just as [ had left them the night before. My pocket book still re- mained in my breast pocket; my purse was untouched in my waistcoat. So I free | dismissed the waiter and began to dress myself, sorely puzzled at the conduct of this charming creature, who had evident- ly fallen in love with me. I now descended, paid my bill, and leaving my address in case she should call, repaired to my hotel in Charring Cross. Arrived at the bar, though I felt foolish at having slept out, I boldly asked for my key. “Your key, sir?” “Yes, the Key of my room, No. 16.” “Ha, sir,” said the landlady, we have given it to a family since you left, this morning.” I started with astonishment, and began to think every one in London out of their senses. A “What then have you done with my portmanteau and luggage ?” The woman seemed surpr sed in turn. “You took ’em with you, didn’t you?” “Not I.” ‘Here, John,” cried the landlady, ‘did this gentleman not take his luggage away with him this morning, when he left the house ¢” : SS The husband came forward, and glan- cing suspectingly at me, as if I had come to make a claim for goods I already pos- sessed, replied rather angrily in the af- firmative : P *‘What do you mean, my good man?” said I, “I’ve not been in your house since last night.” “Ah, ha, sir, that’s a good ‘un, how- ever, you are joking sir.” “NotI.” “Well, that passes all. Why, Jim.” turning to @ waiter, ‘you called a coach for this gentleman about 9 o'clock this morning, didn’t you? And you, Sally, received this. Why, sir, what a short memory you thust have. Don't you re- member you told me your name was Smith, and that you were going down to Manchester by the Highflyer ?” «My name is certainly Smith, but you are dreaming when you say { conversed with you this morning.” “Deuce a bit ; its you that are dream- ing. Why I'd know the cut of your coat out ofa thousand. You showed me your pocket book ; it’s an old morocco one. You carried it in your breast pocket ; and you paid me out of your purse, which, by the by, I remember, as being made the blue and pearl. Do look and see if I am right or mot.” It was unnecessary. He had but too well described the contents of my pock- ets. ** Besides, sir, your face, your squint, your stiff arm ; I couldn't be mistaken ; and the bills you showed me you were going to receive at Couni’s, Drummond's and other banks.” [ instantly pulled out my pocket book. The bills were gone; I rushed from the house, and jumped into a hackney coach. Every bill had been presented, and paid: and what was worse, every clerk and cashier solemnly declared they had paid the money to me. Alas! alas! what was to be done? I went to the police. They promised to look out for the thieves, and laughed at my simplicity when L ventured to assert that it could be so gen- tlemanly a man as he with whom I tray- cied ; nor could so amiable a lady as the one 1 had met at the opera-house have had any hand init. To these two per- sons, however, they ascribed it; and sup- posed the lady had drugged the wine, and carried off my clothes to the male participator in the crime, who assuming my habiliments and personal appearance, had thus deluded my Lankers and the inn-keeper. But what was worse than all, the whole affair was in the newspa- pers the next morning. a Frencn Porice.—French malefactors entertain the greatest animosity against such of their accomplices as turn inform- ers, and they make a rule of taking, if possible, terrible vengeance on them. Jn 1849, a man, named Verner, was con- demned to eight years imprisonment with hard labor, but to obtain indulgence in gaol, he made revelations against twen- ty-five men, all of whom were tried and condemned. Since then he has been placed in the Conciergerie, where he is al- lowed to act as waiter in what is called the pistolt—a room for prisoners who are able to pay for certain indulgences. But his life is in constant danger, even from prisoners who were in nowise affected by his revelations. In November last, a man named Gillette attempted to murder him, and was subsequently condemned to hard labor for life. On the 29th of June last, a man named Bongeraud made a !ike at- tempt ; he fixed quarrel on Verner, and challenged him to fight. Verner at first refused, but ended by accepting. They went into the court yard. Verner seeing that his adversary had a knife in his hand, feared treachery, and went away backward. His belief was that before fighting the man would lay aside the knife. In going away, with his fac: towards his antagonist, Verner knocked against the edge of a basin full of water and fell into it. The other prisoners, who were standing by, cried to Bongeraud, “Give it him now!” “Oh!” anstrered Bongeraud, «1 am not afraid of wetting my feet!” Atthe same time he rushed into the basin, and plunged his knife into Verner’s thigh. Verner jumped on his fent and drew his knife, but before he could use it, Bongeraud stabbed him sey- eral times. Verner, though bleeding, rushed on him, and stabbed, but only slightly. Atthis moment the turnkeys arrived, and separated the two men. Verner’s wound in the thigh was very serious, and if it had been a trifle deener would have been mortal. For this crime Bongeraud was tried by the Court of As- sizes, and being convicted, was sentenced to imprisonment, with hard labor, for life. in the course of the proceedings it was stated that he had not suffered per- sonally in any way from the revelations of Verner. The President teok occasion to remark that it was very desirable that prisoners should not be allowed to retain org in their possession.—Galignani’s less. > From Australia, we hear of habit- able regions in the interior, a hilly dis- trict visible from Lake Torrens. The settlers on the lake were surprised one day by the appearance of six natives, who had crossed the water at a shallow part, and who were more comely and bet- ter formed than any they had yet met with. They had never seen Europeans, which made intercourse difficult. “They con- trived, however,” says the report, ‘to make themselves so far understood, as that among the hills they had left were plenty of kangaroos, white cockatoos, grass, water, and gum trees.” This informa- tion is partially confirmed by the fact, that white cockatoos not unfrequently come across the lake from the region in question. We shall, perhaps, hear be- fore long that it has been visited by ex- ploring parties. seecneeneee—soalont: (> A Utica paper contains the follow- ing brief, but ominous paragraph: “Ta! ha!! ha!!!
