MORTI MURK'S K lieu mot ir Compound,
and Blood Purifier! .4 certain Cure for
cither fn/lammatiiey Acute) or Chronic Rheumatism.
Tins valuable remedy stands without a rival in
the history of discoveries, m this or any other
country, in curing this painful and paralyzing dis
ease, in all its various forms.
The vast number that have .been cured by the
use of this compound, during the past year./fe- ■
monstratea this fact. Not only recent acute or
inflammatory cases, but old chronic cases, of ten,
twenty, thirty and even forty years standing; where
they had not only tried every other external and
internal remedy of which they could hear, but at
great expense, had traveled, and passed under the
treatment of a number of the first medical men of
Europe, as well as of our own country, visited the
various watering places, taken voyages at sea, and
dwelt in the most salubrious climes, without ob- i
taming relief. Some, who were reduced to a mere [
skeleton, their flesh had withered away, their |
limbs were paralyzed, and many that had scarcely -
been able to walk for ten, fifteen and twenty years, j
These have been cured sound and well, regained
their flesh and the use of their liuibs, and nowen- ;
joy excellent health from the use of this compound.
These facts are fully suhatautinted by published :
testimony, from the highest possible sources : tes
timony that cannot be gainsaid, but which can be !
vouched for by ten thousand witnesses.

of calomel and MpuT poisonous drugs.
This is a tine < orin'ii!, pleasant and agreeable to

at strung, the Mormon Prophet.
Our readers will reccolloct the recent arrest ol
Strang, the Mormon Prophet, or King of Heavei
Island, in Lake Huron. It appears that this mac
hud actually assumed the insignia of royalty, had
renounced the authority of the Federal Govern
ment, and had constituted Beaver and the sur
rounding islands his temporal kingdom. He had
a grand coronation, on which occasion he caused
guns to be fired and a flag to be raised in token ol
defiance to all nations. He even proclaimed tc
his deluded followers that it was right to pluudei
the Gentiles, and even to take their lives. One ol
the “ nobles” recently made anatSdavit, disclosing
all the Prophet’s proceeding.
Strang had one ceremony which he called the
covenantor the "Illuminati.” The following par
agraph the deponent quotes, word for word, from
said covenant, as wr.tten and administered by said
Strang:
“ I do, m the presence of God and these princes
of the Illuminati, solemnly promise, covenant and
swear, by the true, ever-living and self-existing
God, that 1 hereby renounce all allegiance to every
king prince, potentate, president, governor and
ruler on earth. 1 furthermore promise, covenant
and swear, that 1 will obey James J. Si rang as the
imperial primate and actual king on earth ; and
the laws and decrees that he shall make as above,
and superseding all other !«ws ot ail other power
whatsoever. I further promise, covenant and
swear, that I will maintain, uphold^ and enforce
said laws and decrees, against all other laws, so
long as life shall last. * * * * *
But should 1 be so wicked, ungodly and unholy
as to break this, my covenant, may God, the Etet
nai Father, turn from me and remember his loving
kindness no more. May Jesus Christ, the Re
deemer, turn from me, and close the gates of hea
ven forever against me. With desires insatiate,
may I behold bliss and feel perditiou evermore.”
This is not more than half the covenant. A
Detroit paper says that Strang is a tall, well pro
portioned person, weighing about one hundred and
seventy pounds, forty years old, with an open
countenance indicating some cunning and shrewd
ness, but not a very malicious character.
Valintrimn nearly Deatreyril ley an Earthquake—
Great Destruction of Property anii Lota of Life.
The brig Juliet arrived at Panama from Valpa
raiso having left that port on the 17th April. Capt.
Heavens,1 who entue as passenger in her, states
that a terrible and destructive earthquake oc
curred there on the 3d April, which nearly des
troyed the whole city. It lasted for about fifty
seconds, when many of the buildings were thrown
down anil the whole city rocked violently. The
first shock, which was the severest causing the
greatest destruction, occurred at *> o’clock in the
morning of the 3-1 April, but successive shocks
were f» It for a period of ten days, doing some, but
no great damage. Consternation seised upon the
people, who abandoned their homes and business
and fled in all directions, m the midst of the terri
ble excitmerft,‘-expecting momentarily that the
earth would open and eiu’ulph them.
This is the most destructive earthquake that has
occurred in that portion of South America, since
1822. When the J Ui let sailed the excitement had
subsided and business had been resumed.
Position of Jeltersou Davis.
Col. Jeffersou Davis, U. S. Senator, spoke at
Columbus, Mississippi, a few days since. The
Standard says:
“ He reviewed at great length, mmut ly and with
great power, the various laws passed by the late
Congress, whereby the South ws deprived of ail
empire m territory, and her substance taken to pay
a State for a domain pledged to free soil. The ef
fort was philosophic, lucid and conclusive. He
announced himself opposed to secession as a rem
edy for past grievances, and indicated several wi
fe rveuing remedies before a resort to extreme mea
sure* in his opinion would be deefned wise or ne
cessary. He believes in the right of secession,
argues it as an abstract question, but recommends
it only when all other constitutional means of re
dress are exhausted.”
A Scene iu Court.
Yesterday morning some excitement was occa
sioned in the Court of the Recorder of the first
Municipality, by one of those strange circumstan
ces which sometimes destroys the sameness* of the
proceedings of our Police Courts. An intelligent
innnlier of the bar was addressing acting Recorder
Kahrr, in a case of swindling, and he had occasion
to allude in strong terms to the prosecutor, who,
feeling annoyed, unpulitely called the lawyer a liar.
This insult raised the treof the man of briefs, and
he dealt the unsuspecting defendant a blow upon
bis tionuspiucc 'hat ma tv tux*' yea airike lire, and
his nasal protuberance quaij beneath the weight
of the clinched fist of the insulted gentleman. Tne
defendant looked aghast as the bright-red stream
ran Iroiu his face: and he showed, by his grimaces,
that the blow had effected the Well Ue rited coas
tso irient. The Recorder informed the member ol
the bar that he had committed a contempt of court,
for which be expressed his regret, although com
pelled by the force of circumstances; and his Hon
or fined him SlO for the offence, which was mime
dlately paid, and with apparent satisfaction.

” The French had the gullotjne, the American.'
and E i .sh have the gallows, the Spanish havt
the <fue«fe. And what is the g'rrvit' It is an iror
collar, used in Spam and Cuba, for strangling
those condom led to death. The collar is put npoi
the neck. The seereev with which this punish
ment is generally executed forms its wait terribh
and repulsive feature, as a mode of execution.”
This is the instrument bv which Monti's rie Oci
and several othif* of Mr. Fillmore’s “plunderen

reveal the natm* of their compatriots. Perhaiia,

K, TUESDAY MORNING,
Kthibitioti* in London.
The Crystal Palace seems to absorb all the at
tention, and the funds of sight-seers in London,
and the other exhibitions in the city attract scarre- i
!y any notice. A late letter in the Boston Post ■
says :
| “Even Batty's Hippodrome, where lie baa every I
thing, from camels, elephant* and ostriches, Ara
bian chargers, ami Shetland ponies, opens to fifty
persons! The Drary Lane theatre, last week,:
played to seven pounds, and the Strand Theatre.
! to seven shilling! The Ap'diomeon opened to se- .
veu persons, and that charmed number seven ser ins
i to rule the roast o’er all the ghosts of the buried
fortune* of showmen and managers. Even Ma
damfe Tussaud finds her forty thousand wax mon- !
stem, with all the •* blood and thunder” attached
to the " chaintiex of horrors.” most stale and un- !
profitable, and so she tries the panorama line, and !
purchases a ‘bars! up’ Amencaafcomcru, christen
i ed the • Falls ol Niagara, Mammoth Cave iu Ken
| lucky,’ etc., etc., etc., and that won’t draw any
thing beyond three obi women, two men, a boy
and a baby, who look at the head of Bush, the
murderer, and think .him ‘ orful ugly!* A thing
1 in the shape, or rather under the name of a ‘ Pa- t
| nonnana of Colonel Fremont’s Overland Route to
' California. Oregon, and the Rooky Mountains,’
which ha* been for some montlis starling on three-1
penny prices at the Egyptian 11*11, Piccadilly, has
now come a new ‘ dodge.' The owner or mana
1 <er is a broken down omnibus driver, and he picks
1 up a notorious black-leg named Paul, who sports
: a heavy pile of whiskers, and takes him about to

Well, l guess he will.”
The Union in Dnhger.
We think the Union in greater danger from the '
attempt of the whig* to get, up a Union party than
troin any other cause, and that ail its true friends
should protest against the scheme. It is the misfor
tune of our opponents to ren h r ojio’is every name
: they adopt, in a few years, federalists, National
Republicans, and other names by which they are
I known, have become perfectly odious, through ;
i the misconduct of those who have worn them.—
I They have even worn out the name of “ whig,” i
that ventured revolutionary title. And now they
propose to take the name of Union party. We j
protest, as lovers of the Union, against the appro- 1
pnation. The Union will be ruined in less than !
i fifteen years, if the party which presume to set .
tbemselv*s up as it* special fnen'is and preservers.
, It is in in >re danger from the present use the whigs
are putting it than from any other cause, and if !
they love it wo beg them to let it alone.

Lady Bulwer’s Last Novel.
'me. Koropean Tunes makes the following e»
i tract from Lady Bulwer’s uew nivel. It is rather
,Savage:
I The greatest monster I ever heard of was one
who to the world passed for a paragon, because
he spent his life in servilely flattering a rich and
vicious old mother, who had an unentailed estate,
■ till he won the prize; and continue this charming
; farce of Glial affection (for he was fond of theatri
j cals,) he told eulogistic iies in marble of her after

The Uitkir Again.
This wonderful performer assumes, Proteus like,-1
as many shapes as characters. We hear of his
; actually performing in the market house, the other
• morning, the following experiment upon an egg
| man—
“ What’s the price of eggs V’ asked the Fakir of
a broad brimmed countryman.
“ Eight cents a dozen, it you want a single do
zen.”
•• i only want one," says the Fakir ; “ wiil you
| take five cents for one 7” »
“Goaway Mister, don’t bother me: I waul to
sell my eggs!”
“ I’ll give you five cents for this one,” says the
Fakir, cooly picking up an egg.
“ Well if you’re such a fool, you may take it.”
The Fakir gave him five cents ; took out his

One of tfij most extraordinary musical inven
tions ev;; conceived t.y the human mind, will
shoKly b« submitted to the public of Philadel
phia, at the Musical Fund Hail. The idea was
conceived by Mr. Anthony Faas, the maker of the
celebrated American Accordeon, which attracted
so much attention at the annual exhibitions of the
Franklin luxt.lule, for which he received two silver
medals. The musical invention which will short
ly be introduced to a Philadelphia audience, con
sists of nine autamiti, as larire os life. There are
two tlute players, oneedanonette player, Iwo trum
pets, three bass born players, and a bass drummer.
The figure* are dressed in the Tyrolean costume,
and present quite a naiurai and imposing appear
ance. By pulling a slender wire, the instruments
are partly raised, anJ the heads of the figures drop
forward in The most natural manner. The ma
chinery, of course, i» complicated, and of immense
power. The music is excellent, and one can scar
cely realize that the figures are not human beings.
The drummer, in beating tune, does his part to
perfection. Marches, polkas, waltzes, patriotic
tunes, and opera pieces, can lie performed with re
markable precision and sweetness of tone.
Mr. Faas has bestowed ten years labor on this
work. He, of course, labored under tne greatest
dilfi^uliies. Even the drummer, that would seem
to be Ihe easiest made, caused him three years of
almost undivided attention.
When Maelzeii’s automaton chess player and
automaton trumpeter were in trod tic t to the citi
zens, they created an immense sc ition. The
encomiums then passed-were fully deserved; but
how much more luteresling and ingenious is it to
array nine, with a variety of instruments, and to
make them play so well that some of the bands of
musicians of our city might well blush. Mr. Faas
never permitted any one outside of his own domes
tic household to know what he was doing. He
was an object of suspicion by some of the police.
They had seen accordeon vaives lying about his
house, at different tunes, and they conceived the
idea that these were unstamped German silver
" counterfeit quarters, ana thev watched close.—
The unsuspecting ingenious gentleman, who was
pursuing his invention under tne greatest difficul
ties, couldn't ride in an omnibus but that an offi
cer would also take a ride in the same vehicle.—
In conversation with him. attempts were made to
find out what he did in a certain room tu his house.
He never divulged the secret, and this fact alone
strengthened the officers' suspicion. All this tune,
Mr. Faas did not know what they were after.—
One day he proceeded to Red Bank, New Jersey,
for pleasure; so did an officer. At another tune
he went to Reading, Pa., on business, and strange
as it may seem, an officer whose face was familiar
to Mr. Faas, had business there, too. As the men
of law never could gel any evidence that-would
warrant an arrest, Mr. Faas of coarse remained
free. It was not until recently that the secret of
the invention became known, and thus the doubts
of all have been removed.
Mr. Faas is one of our most respectable Ger
man residents, a man of great skill, ingenuity, and
goodness of heart, anil is highly esteemed by all
who have the pleasure of an acquaintance with
him. He has already taken the Musical Fund
Hall for a limited period, and in a short tone our
citizens will have an opportunity of looking at and
listening to oue of the most wonderful musical in
ventions ever conceited by the railed of man.

The “Cleopatra" Indictment*.
On the dd instant, Mr. J. L. O’Sullivan, Major
Sleismger and Cap;. Lewis, appeared agreeably to
their recognizances in the L‘. S. District Court m
New York, indicted oil a charge of being engaged
in fitting out an expedition for the invasion of
Cuba.
Mr. O'Sullivan remarked, on the District Attor
ney's inquiry it they were prepared to plead, that
the bill of indictment was very voluminous, and
that he tad not bceu able to procure a copy of it.
He moved a removal of the case for trisl from the
U. S. District Court to the C. S. Circuit Court, as
iinpirtant principles of law were involved, and it
was desirable that an appeal be secured, so that
the law may be settled, ti need be, by the Supreme
Court of the United States. The District Attor
ney opposed the motion, chiefly because there are
a number of witnesses m the case who are detain
ed m prison, while the three gentlemen indicted
are out ou bail, and it would be proper that the
case come on for their sakex, ms well as on account
of the heavy expense. Mr. O’Sullivan said that
he was perfectly willing that the testimony of any
of the witnesses should be taken Jt itenenr. The
District Attorney remarked that he would rather
have the witnesses present. Judge Betts said, so
far as he was concerned, he would much prefer to
have the aid of the Circuit Court in the case.—
Hi* duliee, however, areau pressing that he would
pr ihably mu be- able to give attention to it till
April next, *o thai the casrn as at New Orleans,
w eiid probably have to Ihutried 1>> the District
Judge atom-, aHhooghs'K/lwent to the Circuit
Court. In reference to the ultimate decision, il
makes no difference as respects appeal to the Su
prt me Court. If Mr. O’S. wilt give uic lux pMnu,
1 will consider them. It was finally settled that
the parties were to appear and plead. A giam
jury was empan lied and received the charge o
the court.

Among other evidence* of prosperity * round u*.
newly punted dwelling* here and there may be ,
seen, and asfibfre are a variety of fane tea to please,
! herewith attach Mae evtrarts on the subject.
Being myself a strong advocate for its use, not
only for beauty andebeerfulneaa. but sowiny.
A long art tele from a correspondent of the New
England Farmer, conrlur es thus:
" TMf decidedly superior beauty of white house*
in comparison to colored ones, outweighs all the
argument* that can be brought against them; and
I hope that many, very many, will ere long be
made to see and acknowledge that they have sadly 1
marred the beauty of our New England villages,
and apply that magic remedy—tt*Ut gam*—which
wiU Uansfo.mtheir dismal-looking dwellings into
beautiful abodes (bat will ever greet both ita in
mates and the passing stranger with a smile of
welcome.'’ j. -w.
Tlie Editor says:—"We are decidedly opposed
to painting so many houses while, without sny re
gard to size, the syte of building, the purpose of
the building, the location, or the surrounding ob
jee*s. The universal isge, that ha* been in years
past, for white, without any regard to circums
tances, shows a want cf good taste, as much aa
white shows a want of my color.”
" When there are many houses, as in a town or
village, we would have a variety of colon. We
would not paint every building the same color,
from the magnificent churnes d »wn to the small
schoolhtmse, and ever, the atiil smaller niartia
houao. We would not paint a house of a dark
color, when it was almost wholly shaded-with trees,
nor would we paint a house white unless we had
a good lot of well arranged trees, some evergreens,
to break the glare of a colorless paint. In some
ruses white, from its glare and prominence, forms
a beautiful contrast with the surrounding green
f diage. The beauty ta to the contrast, mot in the
white or the green.
“ .Some small houses might look pretty with a
warm lightish tint, that would be very improper
for a stately nubile edifice; and some rather dark
color might V appropriate fog the latter, which
would give to the former an unsightly and sombre |
appearance. Besides, the want of beauty in so :
much wlute painting, it is dear and transient. To !
keep a house well painted with white fora course ,
of years, will cost more than to use colored paints '
generally. Some colors Cost more than white, and
others less; but colored paint* are more durable.
"If bouses arc painted various colors, without
any regard to the circumstances which we have
named, and various others that should tie taken
into consideration, then, indeed, "J. W.” and
every one else, who travels about the countrv, or
at home, has the disagreeable object* in ht* view,
and has reason to complain. This is a very inter
esting subject, in whtch too little good *siste has
been cowsultW, and we should be pleased to have
opinions on it.”
in Important Derision.
Judge Lowne, m the District Court at Pittsburg,
ha* siren a decision that where under the law mak
ing the county liable for damages arising from riots, ;
and requiring the Sheriff to take all legal means
to [ire vent the injury, the-Sheriff hires, at great ex- j
pease, armed military companies to aid bun, he :
cannot claim to be repaid by the county for such
expenses. The Sheriff hired several volunteer
companies to protect the rolling mills, which were
threatened with destruction by a mob. The court
drew a distinction between lawful and legal means,
which the Sheriff is authorized under law to adopt,
when a riot is threatened. To say that the Sheriff ;
was bound to use all lawful means to prevent the
threatened destruction of property, is to say that
he must use all the means that are not unlawful;
and this would include all thuae physical and
moral means which might be adapted to the occa
sion, whether pointed out by the law or not; meana
which are not properly official, and which rannot
reasonably be exacted of public officer!.
When the law requires an ufficer to lake all
" legal means” to effect an object, it intends that ;
he s.hal! take all such means as he may officially ,
use, and he is not chargeable with neglect of duty, '
if he adopts the menus prescribed by law for such
occasions, though he omit other plain physical and
moral means. These may be lawful, because not J
prescribed by law as means to be used by him in
his office. He is not liable except for neglect of
official duty, that is, for not usoig thus means
which the law put into his hands by his official in- j
vestiture. At common law the Sheriff has au
thorny to raise thepnwerof the county, around if
he thinks proper, lie may demand the attendance
of any number of armed citizens to aid him in his
duty. When necessary, it is ins duly to command,
and theirs to obey. But he has no authority to
lure certain military companies fur a price to do
wl.at they and every mail were bound to do, as a
matter of public duty. By this decision the Sheriff
will have to pay $2000 of his own money.
Koouthb Protest.
Addrttted to the Swiikme Parte.—The noble Hun -
gariau patriot, Kossuth, now an exile in the Tur
Kish dominions, has addressed to the .Sublime Porte
a long and eloquent protest dated Kutahja, April
13th, l»91, recounting the wrongs he has suffered
from the Turkish government at the instigation of
Austria. He begins by reminding the Sublime '
Porte, how, after the downfall of his cause in Hun- j
gary he sought refuge in ms dominions—was re- j
reived with open arms—how the Stibium. Porte i
deigned toopen to him it* hospitable ten;—entreat
ed turn and hi* countrymen to cross the Turkish
threshold, swearing by its God and its faith that it
would gTant them hospitality and a aafe asylum—
how lie had trusted to their honor, eat oPtheir
bread, and lepum d under their roof—bogr he and
his companions blessed them, offered them their
courage, experience, and everlasting gratitude—
how the Hungarians bad krpt their xacred word—
how they had even, as was witnessed in the late
Bosnian revolt, been first in the fight, first iu the
deadly breach, and first to lay down their lives for
Turkey.
But for all this what had they received’’ How
had Turkey kept her word How had ah© recollect
ed her promises of hospitality! instead of buapttal
ity, she had given them a prison. Instead of an
asylum, banishment. Turkey bad begged them
to wait and have ^confidence in her until Austria
could re-establish order in her dominions, she find
estabiuihod order, but Turkey still refused to let
them go. The Sublime Porte had begged them to
wait a year fn*n the tune they had entered the Ot
toman territory. They had waited a vear. She
then asks them to date the year Imra the lime of
their sentence to be transported to the niter or wax
decreed. They had waited. They were then in
duced to believe, that the Sublime Porte would
liberate them im the anniversary of their arrival
at Kutahja. That anniversary had arrived but no
liberation. Hope had (led, and Kossuth ami bis
companions were in des|«air.

“An accomplished and desperate gang of r<*uee
have started from New York to London, for tho
bold purpose of trying to carry off the world-re -
now ucd K»h i noor diamond, now on exhibition at
the Crystal Palace. This magnificent gem is de
posited within an iron cage of great strength, which,
by an mgenious contrivance sinks at night down
into a massive iron chest, upon which it rests, and
on which it is thought to be so secure, that the
Royal Commissioners have never dreamed of tbs
possibility of any attempt being made to purloin it.
I do out see how any one c .ultl make the posseo
,non of a stolen article of this rare value ' availa

owner, for its redemption.
“ D appears that, one of the gang having bad
some personal dispute with the leader, suddenly
and unobserved tett the steamer that conveyed the
lest of the party to Kngtand. s few minutes before
it sailed, and proceeded forthwith to Mr. Mataell,
