An English medical journal mentions it as a singular fact that women, as a rule, will not confide in a physician of their own sex. They will talk to a man about the most delicate symptoms incident to sickness, and positively refuse the same information to a woman doctor.

An attempt has been made in Massachusetts to ascertain the number of females in their respective municipalities who are taxed directly, and also the number ot such who have property standing in other people's names.

A correspondent of the New York Sun, writing from Montevideo, states that Joshua F. Bailey, formerly collector of the Thirty-second District of New York, seems to be in flourishing and promising circumstances. He is intimate with United States Minister Stevens, at Montevideo, and resides with him. Bailey lias recently been joined by his family, and besides making no secret of his inlluence with the Minister, gives out that he holds a commission from the Fnited States with a salary of §2,000 a year. It is also stated that he is a correspondent of one of the New \ork journals.

The Last Man Brotherhood, of Philadelphia, consists of thirty-three members, all printers save one, and was organized on the 10th of February, 1856. The members pay ten cents yearly toward the fund to enable the last surviving man to enjoy his lonely supper. The association holds its anniversary on the third Saturday of February. The last survivor will receive thephoiographs of the entire groupe superbly framed, a bottle of wine, and the fund raised for his special benefit. Since ti organization, out of the sixteen youngest members ten have died, while but two departed from the seventeen oldest, thus somewhat reversing the old adage, "Theoldmust die, the young may die."

Of Rullofl, as of sundry other great criminals, it may fitly be said that nothing in the world became him so much as leaving it. The man acted to the last, but lie acted with a nerve and determination which show how neai 1^ the great felon escaped becoming a great man. ghastly evidence of the iion will that resided in the frame of Itulloft could hardly be given, than in the deliberate raising of the right hand and thrusting it into the pocket of his pantaloons while in the first sharp agony of strangulation. The philologist was doubtless con versant with the episode of the old English martyr, who, amid the llanies, elevated both hands aoove his head in token of a blissful internal peace. Kulloff acted out his martyrdom in the cause of science v/hile on the very brink of an existance whose realities he had defied. An intensity of purpose so diabolical, was a patent disproof of the cant about his lunacy, and a defense of the righteous doom that pent so dangerous a foe of society beyond its pale.

THE air in Wyoming Territory is said to be so light and pure, so charged with oxygen, as to be most agreeable to all persons from the Northern and Eastern States Even consumptives, if not too far gone, And speedy relief, as the increased action of the lungs renders the latter more healthy, and soon restores them to full working capacity.

"TRUTH sometimes stranger than fiction," and especially so in this case, which we will now relate: There now resides at the little village of Jasonville, which is situated about tweuty-seven miles from this city, a woman who is a milliner, on a small scale, but who is one of the most economical of her sex. Haviug heard of the good name and fair fame of that popular individual, "Terre Haute Riddle," and that he sold such goods as she wished cheaper than any one else, she at once decided to come and see for herself. Being economical, she resolved to walk the entire distance and meanwhile board herself along the route. Thursday she started forth on foot bound for the Prairie City to lay in her spring stock of goods armed with a "ritecule" filled with crackers and hard cider. That day she traveled seven miles and stopped with an acquaintance, thus "dead heading" her first night's lodging. The next day, bright and early, she started forth on her

and reaching this city in good season called at Riddle's, and then went all over the city to see if the wonderful stories she had heard were all true, and if she really could do better at Riddle's than anywhere else. After making the circuit of the town, she returned to that establishment and made her purchases—purchasing quite extensively at that—paying therefor the ready cash. But she purchased so much more goods than she had b'een accustomed to that instead of being able to carry the articles home under her

WASHINGTON,

May 22.—Prominent

Senators say the debate on the pending treaty has been conducted with perfect fairness, and that none of their fellowmembers have shown the least disposition to delay unnecessarilly the final action upon it. The treaty has been considered as in Committee of the Whole, and was Saturday reported to the Senate. To-day several amendments will be offered, but according to what

Senators are

represented as saying, no alternations will be made. An effort will be made to take a vote on the ratification on Tuesday. It is argued that this can be done without detriment to public interests. The executive department is anxious that Minister Schenck shall have in his possession the ratified treaty, previous to his departure tor Loudon on Wednesday next, Of its ratification there is now no doubt. There being some misapprehension in the minds of Senators as to the course pursued iu Great Britain with reference to treaties, one of them applied to Earl de Grey, who said that treaties are in that country ratified by the crown, and that its ratification cannot be vitiated or set aside by Parliament, before whom treaties are laid for their information. Therefore the treaty of Washington, after having been ratified by the Senate, of this country and the crown of England, even though Parliament should be opposed to it, will have the full force and effect intended by its terms.

CONGRESSIONAL.

EXECUTIVE SESSION OF THE SENATE. WASHINGTON, May 20. The Senate met #.t half-past eleven o'clock. Among thifew auditors in the galleries were delegafjions of Indians now in the city on busiiKSS with the Government.

Mr. Morton, rising to a personal explanation, caused to be read a letter from 1 Commissioner Williams showing that an advance copy of the treaty was sent to him (Morton) at Indianapolis about the first of May, and the changes made therein were about the 4th of

May, in the twelfth and twenty-second articles. Mr. Patterson inquired whether what 'the Tribune published was the same as the official copy of the treaty.

Mr. Morton replied that it was with the exception of one article omitted by mistake.

Major MacDonald, Chief Clerk of the Senate, made a statement through the Vice President to the effect that on the day the treaty was communicated by the President, not wishing to send the official copy to the printer, he asked and received from Mr. Morton the last proof of the treaty for that purpose.

Mr. Morton remarked that from ednesday at two o'clock till Thursday he had no treaty in his possession. He repeated that the first copy was sent to him at Indianapolis, and afterwards lie received a printed or corrected copy. And in this connection he caused to De read a letter from Dr. Charles S. Taft, stating that he was in the Senator's room before the treaty was sent to the Senate. The Senator 'took from a large envelope a printed paper, and asked him to put it into the fire, which he did, the Senator remarking to him that he had no use for it, as he had a complete copy of the treaty.

After remarks by Mr. Sumner, showing that he could not have disclosed the treaty, the Senate went into executive session on the treaty.

Mr. Sumner said he received a copy of the treaty from the State Department fifteen minutes after twelve o'clock, on Monday the 7th inst,, after the official signatures had been attached. It was in his desk yesterday, but now at his house on his files. It had been in his custody all the time. He knew no copy had been taken from it. He corrected a statement in a morning paper, which had been given with a good deal of formality. It was therein stated that he yesterday occupied a large portion of the session discussing the merits and demerits of the treaty, and the writer undertook to give what he said. He would not say whether he spoke or not, but he could say that the reference made to anything he may have said, was utterly erroneous. He never made the speech attributed to him. .,

Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, said in his remarks that he heretofore had said he thought an investigation would implicate some Senator. He supposed every Senator had his theory, and he had his, and that the treaty would notgetout excepting through a Senator. He had supposed an agent or employe of the press may have procured it from a Senator's room during his absence.

On motion of Mr. Harland, the Senate went into executive session on the treaty.

The Senate was engaged for four and a half hours on the treaty, and adjourned at half-past 3 o'clock until 11 o'clock on Monday. The prospect is that the vote will be arrived at by Tuesday or Wednesday.

That Which Killed Artemus Ward. Artemus Ward, anxious to buy back the family homestead in which to shelter the old age of his widowed mother, discovered that he could never do it by making jokes, unless he could sell them over aud over again. So he tried comic lecturing. The first night the experiment was a failure. A violent storm of snow, sleet and wind thinned the audience—in Clinton Hall, New York—to such a degree that the lecturer lost thirty dollars by the enterprise. A tour in New England, however, had better results. He lectured a hundred nights, by which he cleared nearly eight thousand dollars, and he was soon able to establish his mother in the comfortable home in which he was born.

I thought I ought not to conclude this article without letting the reader know why this bright and genial spirit is no longer here to add to the world's harmless amusement. Well this was the reason Wherever he lectured, whether in New England, California or London, there was sure to be a knot of young fellows to gather around him, and go home with him to his hotel, order supper, and spend half the night, in telling stories and singing songs. To any man this will be fatal in time but when the carouse fellow an evening's performance before an audience, and is succeeded by a railroad journey the next day, the waste of vitality is fearfully rapid. Five years of such life finished poor Charles Browne. He died in London in 1367, aged 33 years and he now lies buried at the home of his childhood iu Maine.

He was not a deep drinker. He was not a man of strong appetites. It was the nights wasted in conviviality when his system needed for sleep, that sent him to his grave forty years before his time. For men of his profession and cast of character, for all editors^ literary men and artists there is only one safety —teetotalism. He should have taken the advice of astage driver on the Plains, to whom he once offered some whisky and I commend it strongly to the countless hosts who see this paper: "I don't drink. I won't driuk!

A Rat Whips Two Snakes.

A fight between a rat and a couple of snakes—a copperhead and a rattlesnake, four and a half feet in length—occurred at McKeesport, Ohio, last week. The snakes, not having been fed for several days, were first presented with a mouse, which both reptiles attacked, killing it in thirteen minutes. A large rat was then put in the cage, when a terrible battle ensued, both snakes striking as rapidly as they could the rat also displayed considerable pluck, keeping up liis end of the fight bravely.

The fight continued from 2 o'clock in the afternoon until 9 at night, when the copperhead threw up the sponge aud was taken out dead. To prevent the rattlesnake from sharing the same fate, the rat was then removed from the cage. The rat showed considerable generalship in the encounter, and every time it was bitten it would retire to the corner of the cage and bite out the pieces from its body.

HAIR VIG0E.

AYER'S^

A I I O

For tlie Renovation of the Hair! The Great Desideratum of tlie Age

A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or yi'C'.y hair is soon rent ored to its original color and the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thick-j ened, falling hair checked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its

use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied or decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling the hairj with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from falling ott, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a

HAIR DRESSING,

nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.

O A I

TO THE TRADE.

Iu returning my thanks to the trade lor their liberal patronage in the past, and soliciting a continuance of the same, I beg leave to state that, having made extensive addition to mv works, and increased facilities, 1 am now prepared to fill orders with promptness and dispatch.

The VINEGAR which manufacture from cider and distilled spirits is entirely PURE, and FREE FROM ALL MINERAL ACIDS OR OTHER POISONOUS INGREDIENTS SO FREQUENTLY USED IN ITS MANUFACTURE. It is both clear and ot beautiful color, and made from the best and most wholesome material. I warrant it to keep pickles bolli clear and tresh for years, thus making their consumption not only agreeable, but healthy.

Owing to the popularity and increasing demand for my Vinegar, 1 shall hereafter, for the better protection of myself and my trade, in addition to my well-known brands, use also a "TRADE MARK," and all persons are hereby cautioned against using the same, and I shall prosecute any and all parties so doing to the lull extent of the law. Country merchants can obtain my brands of

Pure Cider, Wliite Wine Double .and Triple Yinegar,

Of any ol the Wholesale Grocers of the city. Having been established but comparatively a short time, I yet have, by the manuiacture of a superior article, created a demand which has warranted me In the erection of the largest works of its kind to be found in the United States, and having the sanffe now thoroughly systematized, I am enabled not only to give a better and purer, but also a clieaper article to the public than any other known manufacturer. Price list furnished on application.
