The Panama Cathedral very much resembles the latter, its main front is of atone with n|ches in the wall which are occupied by statues of Christ and some of the Apostles the side wslls and towers, of which there are two, on* at each front corner of tne building, are of brick stuccoed, the tops of the towers being covered over with shells which glitter with pearly light in the sun, and the roof, like all roofs here is of tiles. It is the only church in the place kept in much repair, and notwithstanding it baa recently received a coating of white-waah it looka very much like a decaying structure.

place like this. We of U* States are onused to anything of the kfnd'i we are unfamiliar with the decline of cities and the decay of every work of art in and aroond them. As Panama wss formerly an evidence of Spanish enterprise and greatness* lis watt*. Its churches and its private residences being erected in what at that time and in thia place must have been a most expensive and magnificent manner, so now, although not under the Spanish dominion, it may truly represent her poverty and desay. It is a monument of energy nnd power that was once but is not now.

A word or^tilb as id' the future of Panama The railroad may do something for it, when it is completed. The depot though is not within the walls but is on the Bay about half a mile distant have been told, that they will eventually hrv* to bring the truck and depot into the city, the placo they have se* lected for the terminus being very unhealthy while the city is not so. If the Tehu an tepee road is built the business of this will, it is thought, be greatly injured and Panama not much benefitted after all. 1 think it probable that this road will always do a good

unload. If much business is done on tfeie road Pa or ma will improve no doubt. Foreigners will take entire possession and control of it.

Power of the ImacinntionX^S^41 Dr Noble, in a very able and analytic lecture at Manchester, "On the Dynamio inflo encea of Ideas," told a good aneodote of

Boutibouse, a French servant, in ilius? tration of the power of imagination. Dr. Noble ssyar W

M. Boutibouse serVea in NapoleonV*'army, and was present at many engagements during the eprly part of the last century At the battle of Wagrain, in 1809, he was engaged in the fray: the ranks around him had been terribly thinned by the shot, and at sunset he was nearly isolated. While reloading his musket, he was shot down by a cannon ball. His impression was, that the ball had passed through his legs below his knees,separating them from the thighs for he believed, to the extent of about a foot in measurement aq

The trunk of the body fell backwardjntrn the ground, and the sense* were completely paralysed by the shock. Thus he lay mo tioftiefts among the wounded and dead during the rest ofthe night, not daring to move a muscle, lest the loss of blood should be fatally inoreased. He felt pain, but this he attributed to the ftunning effect ofthe shock to the brain and nervous system.

At early dawn he was aroused by one oi the medical staff. Who came round to help the wounded. VI hat's the matter with you my good fellowl" said the surgeon. *4Ah I, touch me tenderly," replied

and stood firmiy on the legs h* had thought lost forever.

Thia ia the age of humbug. *Tbe people gen«rally, appear in delight i» being hum bugged, and it were a pity if there ware no clever fellows to perform the delightful task of gratifying them in this Aspect. There Is humbug in the pinch-back religion, which indirectly teaohea *bat tbe rich man has more honesty, integrity aad honor than thlt poor man. who must necessarily walk to heaven while the other will ride in his coach. There i* humbus in politics. The Congress man is amostauipurlative humbug, for while he sits in his cushion chair sippiuir hi* wine, and telling some penny-a-liner what sort of a speech to make, to send to his constitu^ ems. tbey ere under the impression that ha is at hi* post, and probably creating a '•sensation.'* The Legislator a humbugfor while he should be serving his oonotitu ents, he is using his endeavors to ascertain who will bid the largest prioe for his vote for S Senator, and passing acts and making taws which neitlaer himself nor the people understand,"

The law is a humbug—for it is so covered in technicalities and double meanings that if you would obtain your rights, you must employ a man who makes it his business to understand it .and misconstrue it and five chances to one if be does not charge you twice the amount of your claim.

The merchant is a humbug. He will ar» sure you that the "trish linen" he is showing you is of the very best quality, and after you take it home and examine it more minutely, you find it to be half cotton. The ••fine satin" he is selling you for the "very latest style" has been in his store for twenty years, and is so ro'ten that it itfll scarcely bear making up" His sugar is sanded* his coffee graveled, and his molasses watered,—yes the merchant ia a humbug, sure.

The Physician is a humbug, and i»gen* orally afflicted with what he term* th* hydrocephalus (big head.) and if ydu go to him with a sprained anole be will fttel your pulse, and pronounoe your disease* very aggravated ease of gastritis (infiamaUon of the stomach) and administer a dose of calomel, and after paying you two or three visits,you will be *ure to hav* the diseaae he pronounced the sprained ancle to be. Should your body be broken out from the effeots of beat he will tell you that it is the Rubula (tneaslea,) and treat you accordingly. Verily the dop: lor it a humbug. «t&

But of all humbugs, tlarnum, the doctors, lawyers merchants oircuaes, monkey-shows, the greatest, moat popular and most dangerous,)* the patent medicine humbug.

Some years since a young Englishman, by tbe name of Anson, waa an under servant in a large pill establishment in London, where he received trifling pay but he managed to lay wp sufficient funds bring him to this country, lie arrived in New York and called himself Or. Hrandeth from Londonsaid he wss a grandson o! a distinguished doctor of that name, who died some years previous, lie wa* so extremely ignorant that he wrote bis name or rether scratched. ••Dr. Benjamin Brandeth, M. D." lie hired an office—made pills—advertised them pretty freely—and for years (hey have bren known *11 over the country. By such empiricism, this individual whose real name is Anson has obtained the cognomen of the '•Prince of Quaoks." aud has accumulated a fortune of one million of dollars, while not one in a thousand who has taken his pilU hss any doubt of his being a regular physioian. Such is the euoceM of quackery, and in thia manner are the American people gulled, when if it were known they themselves of brown br**d and alloea oould make a belter pill. Mr A. alias Dr. B., in the course of time opened a shop in Philadelphis, for the sale of his medicine, and appointed a man by the name of Wright as his sole agent, in short time the Dr. and he quarrelled—had a newspaper controversy —the result of which was Mr. W. set op for himself—made anew pill, or rather gave a new name to the old one, callng it the "Indian Vegetable Pill." advertised it freely. employed agents, Scc. and for years it has been used pretty extensively in this State and lilinoia, as an 4ndian medicine, when probably not a eon of the foreat knows of it* existence.

In a similar way most of the medicine advertised *o extensively, recommended so extravagantly for their intrinsio virtues, are first brought into existence. Should the thousand nostrums of different names daily vended in this country and swallowed by the doteen, be analyzed by the nicest process, they would be found to contain nearly tbe saeee ingn-dienfi. The matchless sanative, was sold at •2.&0 per bottle, as a certain core for ooftsampuon. ft was nothing more than *w*etan*d water, aad yet hundreds wer* induced to buy it, because its price was *o exhorbitant, presuming by this that Its virtues were rare— and many a poor wid»w was drained ot her last cent to obtain tbi* worthies* stuff, under the impre**ton that te wotld restore th* health of j»r *i«b child.. hi '*1

THORN, TVtft M!t?.10tf!AttK, 'It 11 —A correspondent of the Mobile Tribune, dating from Saratoga, gives the following sketch of an American Prince

Thorn, to whom I refer, has*inidfe1*°tlan of himself by indulging in exiravaganoiee and eooentrioities, lie is the man Mho so eclipsed the Emperor of I'rance in tlm splendor of his "turn ous." Ha is s.iid to have driven four span oftiorses, ricbty csp arisoned, to the most splendid carriage in Europe. The Emperor unwilling that any one should go in better style than himself, order ed him to appear no more in the streets of Paris with tite aforesaid establishment. *^lis party consists of his wife, two daughters. besux, attendants, pages, maids, grooms, &o. I witnessed a lew t^ys aince tne ceremony of their preparation to ride.

Five steeds and a carriage, with a groom and drivers. In the finest livery io each, were first presented opposite the U. S. Hotel.— Next came th* party, with thvir maids and attendants. A beautiful mahogany bay horse was first led up. whereupon the grooms and servacta took their position to perform the feat of mounting the fair Mi»s to her saddle. She placed her foot in the white gloved hand of the groom on the left side, wbo gracefully placed* her io the saddle, while on the right stood another to catch the jewel, if perchance it should drop that way. Then came the maids to adjust the riding drees, and place her foot into the stirrup.

Thia and similar ceremonies with her sister being accomplished, the beaux and attendants mourned, and the old folks ascended, and off they put aa fo a funeral.— This ceremony must have taken half an hour—long enough, heard an Alabama girl remark, for a Southern party lo have mounted and taken a respectable ride. I forgot So note that after the adjustment of the yoa ng Sadies' dresses, reins. 4m** Ibe horses were sugared (fed) from the hands of the grooms, which, suppose, waa to sweeten their gaits and-fcpirfc for tbe evening's performance,

A K»ow-Notbia* Alarm.

Th* WtUrvillMml sells tbe following! story about the steady old borough cf Kendall's Mills:

Mrs. Soberly went to bet! precisely at 9 o'clock. thinking it passing strange that her good man had not made his appearance just ten minutes before. Of course he would be home in a minute and a half, or two minutes at furthest, and so Mrs. Soberly left a lamp homing on the Hail table, "rhere it burnt and burnt—but she myst tell her own 5m ]story, as sho told it next morning to about |thirteen*of her most conlilential friends

Well# there that lamp burnt and burnt, till, as near as I can guess, it was well nigh on to ten o'clock, and that man harini oome! What to make oti*t didnt know no mor'u the dead, for (te .hadn't never been out s« before since theft me they had such a fuss about the Arostook war. Twan't no use to speak to the children, for they wouldn't know: end so after I had waited until I couldn't wait no longer. I bounced out ot bed, and down stairs 1 went. went right into the buttery and raised the window towards Mr. Blank's, and says 'Mrs. Blank!' in a minute I heard her jump out of bed and raise the window—and says she:

means?'

•What it means,' says, he.jmt ns cool aa if nothing had happened. 'Well, Mrs. Soberly—nfiern—I should bn very glad lo gratify you. if I oould, hut the truth ia— ahem—thai I don't 'Know-Nothing' about it?*

Well, from that time to this I to bed when I got ready without asking any questions and if 1 find Mr. Soberly there in tho morning, that's all 1 earn for—for I'd jtia give hitn to know slut I'in as good a Know. Nothing as ho is.
