Death of a Prominent German Diplomatist— The Amazonian Region Again—More Rall- road EnterprisesA Line Across the Andes General Intelligence. Lima, July 13, 1869. Itis our painful duty to have to announce the sudden death of the late Consul General of the North German Contederation, Hon, Theodore Muller, on the 9th inst., by the rupture of a blood vessel while in the act of dressing. Mr. Muller has been a resi- dent of this city for more than twenty years and was universally respected. His influence was widespread, and during his lifetime deceased held many positions of importance and trust. As @ mémber of the commiasion to adjust the Callao pillage claima of 1815, a post of honor, his labors were indefatigable, and his sudden taking off must prolong the adjustment indefinitely. On Sun- day last the funeral took place, the remains being conveyed for burial to the Protestant Cemetery or Beautiful View (Belia Vista), followed by his resident countrymen, the various consular and diplomatic bodies, and some of the local authorities, including the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The post made vacant by thia untimely death will, for the present, be in charge of Mr. Weiss, Vice Consul at Callao. In the meantime the German citizens have forwarded @ petition to their government, asking for the ap- pomntment of a gentleman to this distinguished position who will be a worthy successor of the accomplished diplomat whose labors on earth are no more. In my last the HERALD was informed of the late important exploring expedition to what is known as the Amazon region, and it now appears that another expedition of still greater proportions is to be sent to that interesting portion of the country. Yet, notwithstanding the laudable and energetic efforts of the government, emigration thither is slow, only one daring spirit, with his family, having ven- tured to intrude as a settler in the transandine wilds. The country requires Anglo-Saxon muscle and that moral courage and perseverance which, added to muscle, moves mountains into seas, The controversy between Mr. Nystrom, government en- ineer, and Colonel Pereira, military commander of e former expedition, regarding the capability of the Amazon region and the way of gettlag there, 13 still continued through the press. ‘Ahe enverprise of building a wagon road from Lima to Callao 18 abandoned, the contract with Messrs. Bianchi having been rescinded. There are some prospecta, however, that the government will do something towards repairing important high- Way. As matters now stand it is @ disgrace to all concerned. The contract of the railroad from Lima to Pisco, it is thought, will also be rescinded, owing to reagons adduced by the government fiscal agent, Sefior Paz Soldan. Sefor \deron, principally in- terested, has started on journey as Chargé d’ Affaires to Italy, but although absent he can bring powerful influence to bear upon the abiding power of the contract, the contractor. ere Bafa ceeds meatersiing a it peat most as mi wu e American continental railway. . ‘The yellow fever is reported to have totally disap- peared at Tacna, in commemoration of which grand religious ceremonies were held on the th instant in the Church of San Ramon. Masses were sald for the repose of the late vicums., Much viame has deen attached to the late Prefect, Sefior Cornejo, for a itary negligence in the affairs of the city, jopes are entertained that his successor, Sefior Arancibia, will be a believer im the doctrine that cleanliness is next to godliness, Barthquake waltzes were among the constant re- creations of nature in the vicinity of Iquique, and the people, not much king the amusement, be- Neved thet the devil had some evil designs on the community, they not admitting that earthquakes can be accounted for on scientific principies. Fierce storms and turbulent motions of the Caen sat Be ‘the first breathing of tidal waves, were the accompa- nimeat to the earthquake Germans, At Arequipa é¢arthquakes were also of frequent occurrence, which caused the rebuilding of the city to progress eon, xhe pie were greatiy agi- tated about the lamentable predictions of the ter- nible Teutonic seer, astronomer M. Faib. Indeed, the masses in some districts throughout Peru, an- like the Iquiques, are shockingly superstitious in re- gard to predictions of this mature. If we have no earthquakes, as heralded, then if Meinherr Falp should think of visiting Arequipa, in this or the next century, his friends should advise him to come in a coffin or bring one along. In addition to the above rumblings the volcano of Isluga is sick at the stomach and has commenced vomiting forth fire, ashes and steam, to the consternation of the natives. An earthquake or de- structive eruption is considered imminent. Whether there are earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, yellow fever, or what ig worse, revolutions, the de- scendant of Pizarro, among the first of Spanish cava- liers, and Huayna Capac, the greatest of tne Inca Kings, are determined to enjoy life, and to this end the coming anniversary of Peruvian tndependonce 1s to be observed on agrand scale, The 28th, 29th and 30Un are all anniversary days, There will be 9 great military review, races, dancing, feasting and gambling—anytuing and everything for pleasure; besides there is to be an interesting exhibition at the School of Arts. Operatic and theatrical enjoyment will be indulged in by the refined and’ charming s0- ciety here, aud for which Lima las attained tue re- putation of being the Paria of South America. We finish with the announcement that Sefor Dr. Filmore has been appointed Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, vice Sefior Bomifaz, appointed Secretary of Legation to Paria. A reportin oficial circles states that Sefor Baranecha will receive the mission of Plentpotentiary to England or France. The government is payi much attention to its diplomatic organization, a feature in republican gov- ernments 0 often neglected. CHILE. Depurture of United States Consul Clark— American Threshing Machines at a Chilean State Fair—Miscellancous. VALPARAISO, July 4, 1869. Mr, A. W. Clark, who for the last four years has been the United States Consul in this city, departs bygto-morrow’s steamer via ’anama for his home in Watertown, N.Y, The Americans and foreign resi- dents will miss such an honest, able and upright man, and we see by # Mercurio, tne leading journal published here, that Mr. Clark has the best wishes of the good people of Valparaiso, As to Mra. Clark, we are sorry to Know that her charming and intelligent society is lost to us, and indeed, we must so say of her very agreeable sister, Miss Thomas, We like to see American women abroad who are a credit to vheir sex and 4 pride to their country. In bidding Mr, Clark and family farewell we can only say, may they have @ pleasant voyage, a= they have the warm sympatnies of the many irienda they have left behind. One of the principal topics of the day is the indas- trial exhibition at Santiago, abous which we made reference in our Jast letter. Since then the princi- pal feature has been @ great trial of threshing ma- chines, nearly all the competitors being Americans. ‘The machine known as Clayton's waa generally pro- nounced the most superior, and next was that ex- hibited by Mr, L.

Steamshins of forty guns or more shall be classed as first raves; those of twenty gans and under forty as second rates; all those, of less than twenty guns as third rates, Veascls—How Named bytLaw.—'The vessels of the navy shall be named by the Secretary of the Navy, under the direction of the President, according to the following ruie:— (8d March, 1819, ch. 7, 3, p. 538; June, 1858, ch. 153, sec, 5, ¥. 11, p. 319. ailing vessels of the firat class shall be named after the States of the Union; those of the second class after the rivers; those of the third class after the principal cities and towns, and those of the fourth class as the President may direct; steam: ships of the first class shall be named after the States of the Union, those of the second class after rivers and principal cities and towns, and those of the third class as the President may direct. ‘This law has lately been strictly carried out and met with some comment, without, perhaps, the pro- per consideration of the fact that previously it had been ignored by Secretary Welles in a great measure, per illustration:—Under the law the Secretary nas lately named the Iowa atter one of the States, and the Madawoeka, a first class steamer has been named the Tennessee; the Kewaydin, a first class steamer, has been named the Pennsylvania; the Minnotonka, & first class steamer, has been called the California; the Ontario is now called the New York, and I -could enumerate many more, I think, however, no fair minded person will deny that this is all under the law, a happy and acceptable change. Now, if the law be wrong, our worthy President says the best way to get obnoxious laws repealed ia to enforce them. But to me there a pears nothing wrong in naming our finest vessels after the States of thia great republic; so with second and third rates, after cities, rivers and towns, The editor of the Boston Advertiser has evi- ey read ‘but @ portion of the laws upon the nam- ing of naval veasels of the United states, and quotes the law as requiring vessels to be named after Btates when carrying over seventy guns. That is a mis- take, as shown in the above quoted law. I think our magnificent iron-clads might be named as hereto- fore, particularly those with imperishable war records, At all events enact a law aud adhere to it, but save the navy from war vessels of Indian names auch as “Sucking Pig,” “Dirty ter,” and the like. OFFICER, THE OCEAN BANK ROBBERY. Arrest of One ef the Alleged Robbers—His Account of the Affair, {#rom the Portland vy beg dr July 31.)

FeMALE PRORSTRIANTSM.—Yesterday morning oulg lady, & student of medicine with Mrs, Dr. pous, and a lady of education, mamed Miss Loretta Mann, unattended and having no previous training, went upon the Spring Brook track, having made up her mind to accomplish the task of walking forty miles in ten hours. Soon the news apread through the city that & lady was predestrianizing on the wack, and during the afternoon @ large number of our citizens visited the driving park. They found the young lady attired in a short dress, persoveriogly going her round on the track, and checking off eac! mile in about fifteen minutes. She did not hug the insite of the track, but Kept her course about twelve feet from the shortest circuit, so that each mile was fullength. She walked easily, paid but litle atten- tion to the interest she was exciting, and Weston, even on eee could not have persimied more Be than did she in her self-imposed task.

Times, July Quackery Historically ConsideredThe Can- cer Doctor and Then the Iadian Herb Doc- tor—The Autocrat of Pills and the Clairvoy- antDiplomate Emplricism—Magnetic Heal ing and Its Practices. A clever essayist in @ recent paper on the snbject humorously sets forth the theory that in successful quackery @ certain order of genius is necessary—in other words, that the quack ought alwaya to have suMcient faith in his own nostrum to impress the Public with a sense of his sincerity in disseminating it, be it pill, syrup, balsam or extract. It has been historically coutended that the modern American quack must be considered as a professional descend- ant of the old-time Indian herb doctor, though, saving & Certain appropriateness in the supposition, the position haa no real foundation elther in 1act or ficuon. The Indian herb doctor had nis day and generation, principally between the years 1820 and 1850, but, if the medical annals of the last century are to be credited, waa preceded in this country by quackery in bolder and less mysterious forms, In a word, the Indian practitioner, whose face in weod cut used to be a feature of the adver Using columns in his day, was nothing more mor jeas than @ shape which qnackery wok by way of piaying more successiully upon its one everlasting fiddle string—the credulity of the public, As early as 1783 the Independent Reflecior, a leading Journal in Its day, declaimed passionately against the tmai- practice in vogue, remarking that in New York there were a3 many as forty persons calling themselves physicians, more than half of whom were as igaorant of medical science as a pig might be supposed to be of pinm pudding. In 1760, innamerable articles having been written on the subject, the Colonial Legislature undertook to regulate the profession by special statute in the prescription of a suitable board of examination, the board to con- sist of one of nis Majesty’s council, the judges of the Supreme Court, the King’s Attorney General, the Mayor of che city of New York, and medical assts- tants by them appomted. The forfeit for practising without a iiceuse from this board was fixed at the sum of five pounds sterling; and in this statute ap- pears the first barrier erected against quackery within the jurisdicuion of what now constitutes the State of New York. It was one of the dodges of the qnack coctors of that day to affect the cure of the cancer, also to give unmediate ease throughout the whole list of in- curabiea, In fact, the miraculous cancer doctor was the mode for nearly a quarter of a century, when some modification in the phraseology of quackery took place and the cancer was partially dropped. ‘The pill and panacea mania was not yet; thesyrap mania succeeded in the category, and for twenty ears New York took syrups forevery ill that humanity js heir to, from saltrheum to liver complaint. In- numerabie regiments, armed with syrups, took the advertising columns of the weeklies by storm, and New York was deluged internally and externatl: with liquid concoctious. Taen came the Indian her! doctor with his infallible balsams, the syrup men de- parting, and later still appeared the mania for ptlis and pain panaceas; for neuralgia is one of tue imps of the American constitution, and infallible reme- dies theretor cannot fail to be marketaole in some quantity. It wouid be but just to remark that the cure of tuberculosis, while It has never formed one of the quips of the fraternigy in New York, has al- ways been @ hobby of quackery in New Engiand cities, as in the South and West have specifics for intermittent fever; but of these loca! quackeries no enumeration need be attempted, it being one of the laws thereo! to assume the particular form most en- ucing to the local community. ‘The country, in fact, has never afforded that mui- tuplicauon of quackery into specialties that is afforded du this city; in Tact, one of the most proitable forms of tne imposition—that of cosmetic quackery—has few pracuuoners in the rural districts or even ta provincial cities; wie here there are proteasors of @il cutaneous affections by the score, and capillary doctors by the dozen, and compiexion physicians by the hundred, with any number of nostrums war- ranted for infailibiiity, and yei, In spite of them all, New Yorkers are a saliow, pimple-skinned, baid- beaded race, reaping little benefit from unfailing pee by the hundred. All these are profiable use seductive forms of quackery, and, appeal ing ‘to the vanity of the public ravber forcibly, re- ceive a patronage considerably greater than would be at first supposea; and {t may be observed, with- out fear of guimsay, that they are sure, every one of them, to revive the skia, or the hair, or the com- plexion, within six months trom the first Spplication, Cases are of frequent occurrence in whic lead palsy has been traced to the prescrip- tions of cosmetc quacks; and medicai men of stand- ing are of the unanimous opinion that 4 long train of guotieand prevalent diseases may be said to have its first cause in the absorption by the skin of ine more or less deadiy poisons used in mixing popular cosmetics. However, these are facts too famullar to be enlarged upon, pnd may be dismissed with the mere statement. SPIRITUALISM IN THE PIBLD. Since the days of itualism a new form of quackery has had considerable popuiarity, princi- paily, no doubt, by reason of ita appeal w the pas- sion for the marvelious and miraculous. The ciair- Voyant is @ comparatively modern invention of the iso Lhe magneuc eiptes aald age; 80 also the tudividual who you of all maladies by the laying on of hands. Great Jones street has become a sort of thoroughfare of these magnetic and miraculous gentry, Great Jones street is Dow car- rying on a heavy trade in miraculous matters, The numoer of c.airvoyant ecattered elsewhere ts, how- ever, not few, and a3 many o/ them are never heard of at all beyond their res; ve neighborhoods. it is not easy to effect an accurate enumerauon. One hua- dred and fifty-seven, of greaver or leas prominence, are saficigntly Knewn to be cataiogaed; but an- doubtediy these are scarcely more than one-half of the whole. In tact, an expert ventures the guess that there are from 250 to 800 clairvoyants a pemenbing in the city, about three-fourths of whom women, ‘Lheir practices are not very bad, they hav- ing great faith in the ing on of hands and the like, which injures nobody, provided always that the bands in question have been recently wasted. Out- tng and cleaning of tiie nails cannot be expected of these people, wio have spirtaal matters most of the time on hand, and cannot therefore find time to at- ‘tend to the lituie temporal detalis of seemly cleanli- ness, ‘the seventh son and seventn daugnter buriness is now passé mostiy, though there is one of the brood left, who aunounces herself by handbill as tue seventh daughter of the seventeenth son, greatly to the advantage of her skill, no doubt—adding, 10 ad- dition to some Goggerel verses setting forth her merits, that sie is che identical woman who first foretoid the wonderful career of General Grant. The seventh daughter of the seventeenth son has not, however, as yet succeeded ln amassing a large prac- tice, and may therefore be written down as a superb fatlure, notwithstanding the pedigree. In fact, in the advance of Spiritualism there seems to have taken place a sort of general decadence in the pop- ularity of other occult medical dodges. Even the few who still cling to old theories can py exe out & subsistence by a sort of combination of star- reading, fortune-telling, phrenology and medical Teuke, and iu the course of tue past ten veara lozens of them have been driven to gypsaying through the country or to setde im provincial cities witn a view to protit in the profession. The age 18 emphatically one of two hobnies—-sclence on che one hand and Spiritualism on the other—and one or the other must be ridaen by the quack of tne decade, or quackery turns out to be a rather tanguid way of turning the needed penny for visible meaus of sup- port. Generally speaking, in fact, SCIENTIFIC QUAOKERY succeeds best in the race for popularity—ihe patron- age accorded to clairvuyants being sporadic and lin ited mostly lo superstitious females, and, hence, of scientific quacks the age bas Muitipiied ao innumer- able brood, most of whom have managed to eke out diplomas in one way or other, by means legitumace or otherwise, The number of physicians (so calied) in this city ts now something over 2,000, exclusive of the 200 or 300 engaged im the drug business, and, therefore, by courtesy debarred from practice, Uf this number not more than 960 are included in the medical register, there being hence not over 950 allopatus in the city in standing, including registered dentists ‘and specialists in first clasy practice. An accurate enumeration reveals the ex- istence of a@ little over 100 homeopathic phy- sictans, who must be ranked as legitimatists, and three or four score of ecleciics Who occupy @ similar ition—that is, cannot be justiy rankea as quacks. Phta gives an aggregate of 1,400; and the remaining 700 must be catalogued as adventurers, shysters, quacks and the like, of every conceivable coior and shading. The strangest part of all is that most of ihem are armed with diplomas—how obtained would constitute an inveresting problem for legal investt- gation, There are enoug! Ca them who can neither speak nor write correct Knglish for half a dozen consecutive sentences; there are more tan enough among them whose views on sctentific matters would disgrace an in- telligent boy of twelve years old; and yes many ofthe claas nave remanerative practices—prac- tuces in some Cases More remunerative than desery- ing and skilful physictans. They are armed with diplomas most of them, too, though, to be sure, at the present standard of medicai learning in some of the so-called medical colleges, pha se need not necessarily mols oy knowredge of the medical sct- ences. It haa been in the muitiplication of institu. tions, in fact, which has been the principal cause of the deterioration in the standard of medical learn- ing. In many cases, without other than a common scuool education to with, ® student is turned out in six montha, a full-fed; physician. eo far aa titles and diplomas are concerned, a doit, ao far as it concerns practical or. even theoretical knowledge of his profession. The lights of the protession are generally agreed that in this fact—cne case with Which alplomas are obtained from most medical in- stitutions ia the country—ts to be sought the great fountamnead of empiricism and quackery practice. Worse than this, however: there haa latterly sprung up a trade in diplomas; aad parties now announce themselves prepared to furnish the doca- ment to the candidate at the lowest market raves, which 18 no doubt & great improvement on the pas- roe university system, obviating the necessity for any attempt at professional culture, aud onabling the aspirant to jump at Once in medias res.
