Great

cities

.* thji'ireatest city on the continent,

Pcrk°P3» °f Constant!-

nopleP-'^NflpoIeon pronounced it to be the place for the capital of the world and yet New York reckoning as its inhabitants those habitually transact their business with in a limited radius, is greater than either Pjria or Constantinople. The population of the chartered city New York is estimated at this lime at seven hundred and eighty thousand, but including as London and Philadelphia do, the surrounding independent municipali ties, her population exceeds a million. The four largest cities in the world, then, are London, Paris, New York and Constantinople. The wonderfully rapid augmentation of New York may be, in part, conceived from comparison. In 1S45 she was exceeded in population by Berlin, Vienna and Naples: in 1850 the chartered city alon® surpassed,Jhem and every other European city, except the British, French and Ottoman capital*. She had al thi«' time a larger population-tHan Rome had.

The estimated population of the citit'S of A%ia have been extravagantly exaggerated.-

confidently slated th there is not one of them that has a population exceeding million. The largest city in India, Benares, has not over six hundred thousand inhabitants while the great cities of China—Pe kin, Nankin and Canton—instead of their three, two and one millions, are neither of them estimated to contain a population over six hundred thousand or eight hundred thousand. VVe notice, also, some interesting fdata relating to the comparative epnee occu pied by large cities. London encloses Its two millions four hundred thousand in a space of seventy-six thousand acres. Philadelphia lies a population of half a million within the limits of seventy thousand acres, and New York has its seven hundred and eighty thousand people in the comparatively contracted space of thirteen thousand nine hundred and twenty acres.

Pawnee Courtship.

Charles Augustus Murray, an Englishman, who once sojourned with the Pawnee tribe of Indians, says*

When the lover wishes to break the ice, he comes to her father's tent uninvited, and sits on tho corner of mat fur ti considerable time, and then goes away without spealiing. This is the prelimi nary Btep, answering, perhaps, to the first gentle pressure of the hand—the first blushing hesitation in address— the first niutual glonce of understanding. After a few days the young man returns wearing his buffalo robe with the hair outward, and again sits down silent in tho corner of the tent. This is a pioposol—a regular 'popping the question.'— If the father is determined to rrject him nothing is placed for him to sit on. and no meat is offered but if he approve of the match these rights of hospitality are observed.

Feasts are given by the respective parties, in order to obtain the consent of their relatives. If both feasts terminate in this respect, the young mnn presents himself once more before his bride, nt the door of her tent, and then turns round and walks slowly off towurd his own— Bhe rises and follows him—the marriage i§ then complete. If she remain sitting it is a sign that her family declines the watch. All this is done without word paBsing between tho intended bride nnd the husband that Is to be. Hut the most extraordinary part of the nffnir is, that having married an elder sister, he has right to marry all the younger ones, ns they successively attain to the nge of womanhood. Tho author adds: 1 have seen chiefs who have in this manner married a whole family the eldest wife being the greatest drudge and the youngest being generally the favorite Suitnna, nud consequently doing the least.'

~~~~~~~~

A Great Speech.

Hooper of the Montgomery (Ala.) Mail, gives the following port of the groutest speech ho ever heard:

A fellow was indicted up in the old Ninth, when Tom 1 was Solicitor, for gombling, to-wit: play 'short cords,' at a certain locality known as Frog Level. Col N defended liittt, and contended beforo the jury, that though the State's cvidenco Mended' to show that his clrsnt. with a bottle of liquor in his pocket, accompanied the crowd who, it is shown, did actually play, yet it never did with absolute certainty, locate him as one of the player?. Said he, by way of peroration. 'Gentlemen of the Jury: The witness has told you that Peter Wyntt was thar, and a playin' for I noticed his hand, and it was afu/l on Queens! 'Harry Snow was thar, and /iA was aplayin' for he hilt two little pair! •William Upson was thor, ond played, 'cause witness noticod, in particular, that he had nothingfbut an ace!

Hi'! Connor was thar, and he played, gentlemen, for he had the bully hand— lour high-heeled Jacks! 'But, gentlemen, when I come to ask him about Abraham Pitkin—my client's bund, what did he say, gentleman? Why Dothin,' gentlemen, except that if Abo hilt any, he disremembered what was in it

I And now gentlemen of tho jury, be* cause my client was seen going down to Frog Level, with a bottle of liquor rti his pocket, and the witness can't remember if he hilt any hand at all, when bully hands were out, nnd him the best player in the crowd—is that—is that— I say gentlemen of the jury, is that any reason thai my client was guilty of the crime of GambolltngV is almost needless to say that tho jury saw the non-sequitur

the defendent.

and acquitted

A quostion raised in the superior court as to whether, in the case of filing a bill to foreclose a mortgage, is accessary to make tho administrator a party, was decided by Judge Storer yesterday. The effect of a lengthened opinion, delivered tV the court, was that the whole history of our judicial proceedings, the theory on which* estates are settled, and the course adopted by the courts to effect these results, required the administrator should be made a party. There must k®

judgment for the debt before there could be a sale of the property, and how could there be a judgment against the Mr! It would be inconsistent with the practice here for the last fifty year*, and even against the English authorities for, where a debt had to be liquidated all these authorities require .the personal representative shall be made a party.

COUGHS, COLDS, HOARSENESS, BRONCHITIS, WHOOPING-COUGH, CBOUr, ASTHMA, AND 'CONSUMPTION, Among the numerous discoveries Science has made in this generation to facilitate the business of life— increase its enjoyment, and even prolong the term of human existence, none can be named of more real value to mankiud, than this contribution of Chcnrfstrvto the Healing Art. A vast trial of its virtues throughout this broad country, has proven beyond a doubt, that no medicine or combination of medicines yet known, can so surely control and cure the numerous varieties of pulmonary disease which hare hitherto swept from our midst thousands and thossinds every year. Indeed, there is now abundant reason to believe a Remedy has at length been found which can be relied on, to cure the most dangerous affections of the lungs. Our space here will not permit us to publish any proportion of the cures afTected by its use, but wo would present the following and reler further inquiry to my American Almanac, which the agent below named will always be pleased to furnish free, wherein are full particulars, and indisputable proof of these statements.

August 4, 1853.

J. C. AVER. Dear Sir,—My little son, four years old has just recovered from a severe attack of malignant Scarlet Fever, his throat was rotten, and every person that visited him pronounced him a dead child. Having used yourCnERRY PECTO:SAL in California, in the winter of 18a0,for a severe attack of Bronchitis, with entire success, Livasinduced to try it on my little boy. 1 gave him a tea spoon full every three hours, commencing in the morning, and by-ten o'clock at night I found a decided change for the better, and after three days use, he was able to eat or drink without pcin.

Its use in the above named disease will save many a child from a premature grave, and relieve the anxiety of many a fond parent. For all affections of the Throat and Lungs, 1 believe it the best medicine extant. A feeling of the deepest gratitude, prompts me in addressing you these lines,—but for your important discovery, my little boy would now have been in another world.

I am yours, with great respect, J. D. POWELL, Sup. Tran., L. R. R. Rock Hill, (SomersetCo.,) N. J., July 21, '52. DR. C. AYKH,—Sinceyour medicine has become known here, it has a greater demand than any other cough remedy we have ever sold. It is spoken of in terms ot unmeasured praise by those who have used it, and 1 know of some cases where the best they can say of it, is not too much for the good it has done. I take pleasure in selling it, because I know that I ain giving my customers the worth of their money, and feel gratified in seeing the benefit it confers.

Please send me a further supply, and believe me, youis with respect, JOHN C. WHITLOCK. P. S. Almost any number of certificates can be sent you if you wish it.

J. C. AYER—Sir: This may certify that I have used your CHERRY PECTORAL for upwards of one year and it is my sincere belief that 1 should have been in my grave ere this lime if 1 had not. It has cured me of a dangerous affection of the lungs, and I do not over-state my convictions .when I tell you it is a priceless remedy-^.,,.

Yours Very respectfully, .: A. McCULLlN, Attorney at Law. :V-»f Wilksbarre, Pa September 28,1850.

DR. J. C. AYER. My dear Sir,—Your medicine is much unproved of by those who have used it here, ana its composition is such as to insure and maintain its reputation. I invariably recommend it for pulmonary affections, as do many Of our principal physicians.

MEDICATED INHALATION. A New MetliodL.

MOST wonderful discovery has recently been made by Dr. CURTIS, for the cure ol Asthma, Consumption, Bronchitis, Coughs, Colds nnd all Lung Complaints, by Medicated Inhalation. Dr. Curtis's Hygeana,or Inhaling Hygean Vopor and Cherry Syrup, has accomplished^ the most wonderful cures of Asthma and Consumption in the city of New York and Vicinity for few months past, ever known to man. It is producing an impression in Diseases of the Lungs never before witnessed by the Modical Profession. [See certificates in hands of Agents.]

The Inhaler is worn on the breast, under the linen, without the least inconvenience, the hent of the body being sufficient to evaporato the fluid —supplying the lungs constantly with a healing and agreeable vnpor, passing into all the air cells and passages ol the lungs that cannot possibly be renclied by other medicine.

Here is a case: .i A. ASTHMA CURED. BROOKLYN, N. Y., Dec. 30,1853. For about eight years I have been severely afflicted with the Asthma for the last two years 1 have suffered beyond nil my powers of description months at a time I have not been able to sleep in bed, getting what rest 1 could sitting in my chair. My difficulty of breathing, and my sufferings: were so great at times, that for hours together my friends expected each hour would be my test. During the post six years I have hod tho aid and attendance of some of the most celebrated physicians, but have received no perma nent benefit, and but little relief. I at length had the good fortune to procure Dr. Curtis's Ilygeana or Inhaling Ilygean Vapor and Cherry Syrup.— At the time I first obtained it, 1 was suffering under one of my most violent attacks, and was in reat distress, almost suffoca'ing for want of Jreath. In less than ten minutes fiom the time 1 applied the Inhaler to my stomach, and took a teaspoonful of the Cherry Syrup, I was relieved in a great measure from the difficulty ol breathing and had a comfortable night. I have since continued it with the greatest possible benefit, nnd am now comparatively well. God only knows the amount of suffering this medicine has relieved me from. My advice to the suffering is—TRY IT .MARGARET EASTON.

CONSUMPTION CURED. NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 1853. I came to New York in the ship Telegraph my native place is St John's, New Brunswick when 1 reached this city, my heolth was ver poor had a very bad cough, raised a good deal ol matter which was frequently mixed with blood bad pain in mv left side, nnd was very weak and emaciated. My friends and physician pronounc ed my case Consumption, and pe] of medicine.

COMPOUND SYRUP OF

WILD CHERRY,

The Original and only genuine "Cherry" Preparation. READ THIS CAREFULLY. Dr. SWAVNE—Dear Sir: I feel it a debt of gratitude due to you—and a duty to the afflicted general'/. to offer my humble testimony in favor of your Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry. Some three years since, 1 was violently attacked with cold and inflammation of the Lungs, *vhich was accompanied with a very distressing congh, pain in tho breast and head a very considerable discharge of offensive mucus from the lungs, especially xi/ion changes of weather, however slight! At first I felt no alarm about my condition, 1ut was pretty soon convinced that I was rapidly going into consumption. I grew daily weaker, and nt length wasscarcely ablo to walk about,or speak above a whisper, such was the exceeding weakness of my lung*. During this time I had tried various preparations nnd prescriptions, bnt found no relief—growing all the time worse. Just here 1 was advised and persuaded by a deaf friend in Wilmington, to make trial of your Syrup of Wild Cherry. I must confess that previously I had been prejudiced against pntent medicines, nnd I am still against those coming out of the hands of emperics, but understanding your claims to the profession nnd practice of nr.edicine, nnd having implicit faith in the saying of my friends, I forthwith purchased of Dr. Shaw, one of your agents, a few bottles and commenced its

My disease was at this time of 20 or 25 is1 standing, consequently wn&deeply seated. I found, however, considerable relief from tho use of tho first four or five bottles. But being a public speaker, I frequently attempted to prcnch with my increasing strength nnd thereby ruptured those vessels that hod already begun to heal in this way doubtless my cure was greatly retarded. In consequence of acting thus imprudently, 1 had to use 12 or 15 bottles before I was perfectly restored. 1 have no question, a much smaller number of bottles would have made me sound, but for the above indiscretion. (The Syrup allayed the feverished habit, did away tho distressing cough, put a stop to the discharge of mat. terfrom the lungs, and gave them nnd the entire system good health. I liavo deterred offering this certificate till now for tho purpose of being perfectly satisfied with the permanency of the cure, and now that 1 feel perfectly well, 1 offer it with P'EASURC. REV. J. P.JoimAW.

Dublin County. N. C. Dr. Swayno :-The Rev. J. P. Jordan is a high-4 ly respectable Minister of Dublin County in this State, he desired me to forward to you the foregoing certificate, being fully acquainted with the facts, I con testify that this statement is correct. I shall publish it in our papers, as he is generally known throughout our section.

Very respectfully, Dr. WM. SHAW, Druggist, Wilmington, N. C.

ing better, until it entirely left me, ana 1 now ilveortra..^ ...nul ami only true mg consider myself cured. 1 still wear the Inhaler, as the use of it is rather pleasant, and believing it strengthening and purilying to the lungs, 1 feel unwilling at present to dispense with it.
