PROFESSOR ALEXANDER C. BARRY'S
TRlCOPHEROUS.or Medicated Compound, for
beautifying, curling, preserving, restoring and
strengthening the Hair, relieving diseases of the
skin, curing rheumatic pains and healing external
wounds. Rounded by no geographical lines, the
reputation of Barry's Tricopherous pervades (he
Union. Tbe sales of the article of late years have
increased in a ratio that almost exceeds belief.
Professor Barry, after a careful examination of his
sales-book, findB that the number of bottles delivered
to order, in quantities of from half a gross
upward, during tbe year 1852, was within a trifle
of 950,000.
It is unnecessary to present at length the evidences
of the wonderful properties of the Tricopherous
when the public have furnished such an
endorsement as this. The cheapness of the article,
and tbe explanations given of its chemical action
upon the hair, the scalp, and in all cases of
superficial irritation, first recommended it to
tbe attention of the people. This was all that
the inventor desired. Every bottle advertised
itself. The effects of the fluid exceeded expectation.
It acted like a charm. The ladies would
not be without it Country dealers in every
section of the United States found they must
have it; and thus Was built up a wholesale
trade of an extent hitherto unheard of as regards
articles of this kind. The highest point has not
yet been reached, and it is believed that the sales
this year will be a million and a half of bottles.
Depot and manufactory, No. 137 Broadway, New
York. Retail price, 25 cents a large bottle.
Liberal discount to purchasers by the quantity.

it is provided that "whenever it shall be made appear
to the satisfaction of the Mayor that any animal
of the dog kind within this city shall be
"deemed and considered mad," it shall be "the
duty of the Mayor to issue his proclamation requiring
that all animals of the dog kind shall be
kept confined for such number of days as he shall
deem expedient and proper, to state in said proclamation,
not exceeding ninety days; and it Shall
be the duty of the city constables, and lawful for
any other person, to kill and bury all and every
dog going at large contrary to the said proclama
lion," &c.
Now, therefore, it having been made to appear
to my aatiafaction that there are "animals of the
I dog kind" mad within (his city, I do hereby give
' notice, to all whom it may concern, that "all animals
of the dog kind" in this city are required to
be kept confined for and during the term of sixty
days from the date hereof; and the police officers
of this Corporation are required to enforce the law

SUMMER SKETCHES?No. 3.
\
BY MAllY J. WlNOLli.
SlIAKNOKDALB SPRINGS, July II, 1653.
Our predictions are verified. Cupid is flutter- I
ing his wings in the transparent atmosphere. The i
gentlemen spoil their cravats in their nervous of- i
forts to tie them exquisitely; while our belles? 1
sweet innocent creatures?sit cool in white mus- I
lins, with their hair puffed in placid bandeaus, i
looking as serene as if they had no victims at present
under torture.
Groups of two's stroll on the portico morning
and evening. During the forenoon they sit in the ,
parlor, gossiping that gossip which is evanescent
as foam upon champagne, and as odorous and
piercing, for the moment it lasts. In the evening they
sing those desperate love songs which young i
people always sing when they are most sentimental:
Tlie old gentlemen who smoke cigars in the 1
easy chairs under the trees watch the course of 1
events through the slow-curling clouds of tobacco, ,
and think it "very natural."
Some sigh their souls away in the sumptuous |
emphasis of music. Some compose serenades as j
a Persian poet his bouquet; each melody a flower,
and a flower of impassioned speech. Others
"declare" in apposite lines from the "Bride of
Jibydoi."
With some few (hut very few) it is more
thun a mere summer fancy?it is a permanent reality.
'TiB a catching the present and chaining it
down, and giving to it an immortal existence, 1
which else would soon l>e lost in the shadows of j
oblivion. J
Fp other words, some few .are really "in tore."
There are six crooked marks, which we call let- j
ters. We have put them there as signs of a certain
fact. Dear reader, you will receive through
your eye a notice of those signs; but do you know
what we mean by them ? As to the general meaning,
perhaps we understand each other; but until
you know what that feeling is which wo call love,
you never can know what we mean, and you can
only know what that feeling is through the signs,
whose very significance is tho matter to be discovered.
The language which we use, we use in our
owti sense, and yon hear it in your sense. The
light which leaves us has to pass through the atmdspherc
of our mind, which gives to it its own
color, and to reach you it has to pass through the
atmosphere of your mind, which still further modifies
it. It is as if you looked with grcon spectacles
upon a bird in a blue glass cage.
How can you determine tho color of the bird?
But there is one comfort?every one looks
through his own spectacles, and can change them
to suit himself, and, moreover, some people wear
magnifying glasses, very much to the improvement
of poor human nature.
Dear reader, if you wish to translate that hard
sentence of six characters above, do, as you must
needs do, go down into the holy chambers of your '
own heart, and in the echo of your own ten thou- ;
sand glowing thoughts, discover the meaning of
"in love" there.
"Jfh love!" What a crooked body for a beautiful
soul is that same sentence, with its incarnated
meaning! Its exterior semblance belies its
soul's immensity. It is a perverse, uncouth, darkbrowed
dungeon of an angelic thought! It is an
oyster-shell enclosing a gem! It is a dark shadow
of bright beauty!
What shall we say of it! By the Almighty infusing
energy of a soul there is breathed into these
crooked marks the breath of a glorious life!
Through every crack and crevice of those unsightly
letters beams the brightest of concealed beauty.
They are the temple of a divinity!
"Jn love!'" Here is brightness under blackness,
and beauty under deformity. Around those unsightly
hieroglyphics cluster the sweetest memories
and dearest hopes of the heart. On every
crook and nook of their deformity arc suspended
visions of joy and dreams of delight. Even as
the eye clothes the naked earth in loveliness,
spreading a thousand beauteous colors on land
and sea, and as tho soul pours out on the world
the brightness of its own l>eing, and adorns for'
herself the abode which has been assigned hor?
so does the human heart build up and adorn a
temple for its al>ode out of those crooked letters.
"In lore!" It is to walk in this world as in a bleak
and sunless desert; hut to do torever canopied over
with one bright and boundless thought, wherein
arc set immutable and numberless the starlikc
hopes of our eternity.
It is to live in a world dark and cold, full only
of black shadows and tho wailing of mournful
winds?but to have a serene sky overhang us, replete
with brightness and glory, teeming with
radiant stars which are the type of the glorious
hopes that cluster for us in one human heart.
And in this world?this tumultuous, agonizing
world?where a sea of human hearts beat up upon
the stony shores of a life against which they arc
forever broken end shattered, those brief words
pass through the midst of it all a soft, pure light,
shedding warmth and brightness even 011 the
dreariest, scenes, causing men to forget all pain
and privation and misery?a light, to which the
saddest oyes turn with a joyous greeting, and on
which the gaze of the crying linger mournfully,
till the coffin-lid forever shuts it out from their
fond longing.
"Human love." It is the one blessed thing
which can overcome the strong fierce evils of life?
the one sole, unfailing joy of our merely mortal
existence.

The company here, which consists 01 nnoin. i\i
persons, appear to he full of enjoyment; all is
gaycty, and the pulse of life seems running- with
electric swiftness. The sole aim of each seems
health and amusement, and the visitors appear to
act from one common impulse, and to have one
' common interest. Thus far we can compare
Shannondale to nothing less delightful than poetry
put into motion. The exquisite scenery?the
musical Shenandoah?the graceful and picturesque
groups?all conspire to produce this impression.
A tine hand adds to the attractions,
and tho "fir at ball" of the season is to come off
to-morrow evening.
We would say to the stranger and invalid visiting
Virginia that thov cannot find more "home
comforts" in the State tiian in thin hoiute. The

Indeed, courtesy in the character of all i

peddles canes at ten cents apiece by the door of
Washington's tomb; and pretty soon a whirligig
and swing will be erected in the grounds, a sa- '
loon opened in the venerable mansion, and along 1
the piazza, through which, with slow and digm- 1
bed step, the best man of his age used to walk for 1
recreation, there will be a line of smokers and to- '
hacco-chewers, with their feet up, guzzling mint I
juleps and talking politics! Will the speculators {

which are the remains of the hero and his wife,
for their contemptible penny-getting operations!
We hope that they won't sell them to Barnum.
Sell Mount Vernon! It is akin to that mean
spirit which leaves the resting places of our great
men unmarked and almost unknown. It is akin
to that disgraceful neglect of all obligation, all
Eratitude, which lias characterized our National 1
egislature. This bragging country of ours which '
glorifies itself over its territory, wealth, enter- 1
prise, and ever-extending limits, has permitted
its old revolutionary soldiers to die in hovels, or '
starve on beggarly pensions; or sent them, grown !
old, feeble, blind, to subsist on the cold charity of *
the almshouse. Orir Westminster Abbey, our 1

to our patriots, our statesmen, our generals?
Briars and thistles overgrow their graves, 1
or hide the mouldering tablets that mark the spot. 4
If a commission for a foreign consulship or post !
office were paid at the head of each, and the whole '
hungry swarm of office-seekers set upon the hunt 1
with such prizes in prospect, not one in one thou- '
sand could find them. The paltry spirit of party !
refused a memorial to Clinton; and a Legislature
who could not understand or appreciate anything
that did not belong to party, denied the tribute 1
which public gratitude demanded at their hands.
Congress haggles and debates over the compcnsa- J
tion which some of the more patriotic of that mis- '
cellaneous crowd may attempt to make to an old 1
soldier, aild squanders thousands in mileage on
useless, and worse than useless, members.
Well, we don't mean to got out of temper; but
this exhibition of the remains of Washington, and
the stile of ginger-pop in his mansion, is something
to get angry about.
We saw a venerable man to-day who had seen J
and talked with Washington. Ho recollected his j
stately presence and had heard the utterance of
his lips. We were glad to take the hand which
had been clasped in that of the great chief, to
listen to the interesting incidents of his life at Phil- !
adelphia?to know how he lived?what was tho
manner of his homo life?how lie looked, talked, '
and acted. We seemed to be gazing on one of
the few solitary links that copnoct this veneration
with a groat age, now passed away. When tho
voncrablc face of our informant was lighted up
with the memories of his youth which were thus
called to mind, and his heart discharged itself of 1
its burden of love and devotion to Washington, we
could understand something of that character '
which impressed itself so indelibly on tho age iu
which lie lived and on the men who were his contemporaries.
Congress quarrels and wastes the public trca- 1
sure in the Capitol, under the shadow of the inon- '
uinent that begs its way slowly towards the skies, |
and but a tow miles aisiani irom mo moo no ui m?
death and burial. AIiih for the gratitude of re- !
publics! The grave of Madison ia unmarked, aluioHt
obliterated. Jdfterson lien amid the rank
grass and the brambles; the graves of the generals
of the Revolution are, many of them, forgotten;
and the country which they have established and
made renowned lias consigned to obscurity the
memories of those men whose lives were marked
by her ingratitude.
A Familiar Experience.?In the journal of
the Life and Religious Labors of John Comly, late
of Byberry, Pennsylvania, a somewhat distinguished
Friend in his day, occurs the following
notice of his political experience. Friend Comly
was troubled with an excess of conscientiousness, ,
and yet his apparent simplicity is an appropriate
foil for the craftiness of the adept politicians of 1
the past and present times. He says:
"My opening manhood was exposed to new ]
trials, from various quarters. In meeting these I
bad fresh occasions of recurring to my safe guide,
the dictates of the ' Spirit of Truth,' the impressions
of which I had become somewhat acquainted
with. My father, from early life, had been accustomed
to the exercise of his civil right of voting
at elections for officers in some of the depart monts
of Government.
" Soon after I was of age to carry in a vote, an
occasion of much excitement prevailed in the
community in the election of Governor of the
Stale. It was said everybody must turn out, for
the country would be ruined if the opposite candidate
should Iks elected. Friends of Philadelphia

and it wan said that Nicholas Wain, James I'entlicrlon,
and all were going to turn out. Partypolitics
ran high. So, with ull these excitements ,
and my father's encouragement, I went to the
election and voted for the candidate that I was '
told was the right one. But I knew nothing
about it; and though I was desirous that thecoun- (
try should not go to ruin, yet there was something
in tho spirit of politics that did not seem ,
clear to my mind; but I endeavored to reconcile it
by thinking my father and others did understand (
it. J
"But with all our exertions to prevent it, the |
bad candidate (as they called him) got the office
of Governor, and I looked for the political prediction
to be fulfilled in the ruin of tho country.
This, however, did not come to pass. So T passed '
along till another great excitement prevailed about
electing a Senator. I was again prevailed on by
the same kind of arguments and examples, and
went to olcction a second time, but felt more dissatisfied
in my own mind tliun before, as considering
myself but a mere tool for others to work with
for party purposes.
"Again the period for electing a new Governor
came round, ami the political party strife was as
great as before?only that now we were urged to
go and vote for the very man that we had tried to
keep out before; but now he must bo kept in the
offico or the ruin of tho country would follow. I
remarked this glaring inconsistency, as it appeared
to me, but was told ho had turned out much l?et
ter than they expected. 1, however, did not feel
easy in my mind, and declined yoing to tho election
and have never been since. '

From the Bit on Transcript.
The Phjrciciaii.
Among all the members of the learned profes- 1
lions, the medical fraternity stand pre-eminent for
the amount of influence they exert over those
with whom they come in contact. Indeed, the
physician is inferior to none in the power he exerts
for good or for evil, over a community who
ire druwn to him by the tics which his selfMcriticing
attendance upon the sick bed?in seaion
and out of season?and the exercise of that
cliarity which, like the good Samaritan, pours the
ail and balm of consolation into everv wound,
have wrought for him, out of the t>etter and
kindlier feeling* of our nature. Thia may seem a
bold assertion at the present time, when every
prejudice that may diminish the respect once so
gratefully accorded the profession is paraded lietore
the public, but it is nevertheless true. The
yery nature of the physician's office brings hiin
into more intimate association with us than results
from the performance of any oilier duty. It
is not to the strong and healthy that he is called,
but when weakened and enfeebled by disease we
claim his aid, he comes as the messenger of good
tidings of health; to him we unfold our troubles,
in their most secret and minute details, and entrust
the shattered vessel to his keeping as to a
ikilful pilot, who will conduct us in safety over
he rocks and quicksands of disease, to the haven
>f health. Can a more honorable or ennobling
>ccupation be found; and is not the high-mindea,
sducated, and conscientious physician as worthy
>f our respect and confidence as he who ministers
it the altar? Both are set apart from other business,
and both require purity of character. A
welcome guest at every board, the barriers which
divide society into coteries and artificial classes,
unfolding their doors at the "open sesame" ol*
his kindly acts, his prosencc is always hailed with
nlamnra nn?t inn innlri> him thn r?r>inifirit of our
most sacred confidence. As we trust our bodies
.o him in sickness, we go to liim in health for
sympathy and advice in our troubles. Secrets
lpon which depend the happiness or misery of
iimilies, our own individual cares, and our most
rifling ills, are alike poured into his ear, as into a
epository safe and secure.
To answer the ever-varying callB upon his atention,
demands a degree of discrimination that
;an only be acquired by long and persevering apilication
both to the principles of his art as found
n books, and a proper appreciation of them as
ipplicd to the forms of actual disease. His life is
i series of demonstrations, wherein he proves the
power of his remedies over the different maladies
which affect the human frame; to check their
ravages; to allay their pains; and restore health
and strength to the debilitated and enfeebled system.
The activity of mind engendered by this
constant operation of the faculties, greatly enlarges
the horizon of his mental vision. Less
trammelled by routine than are the members of
the oilier professions, lie extends his information
through all science; and becomes, as it were, a
cosmopolite of the intellectual world?at home
everywhere. Said Rosseau of the medical men
of his dav, "in every country they are the men
most truly useful and learned;" and Dr. Parr, the
celebrated philologist, remarked, that "in erudition
and scioncc, in habits of deep and compre- j
bensive thinking, prc-cminence must be assigned 1
to physicians over all other professional men. J
The life of the physician is a record of early f
itruggles, mid-life successes, ending, when he has '
)ecn true to himself, in the victory of riper years ; a
tnd the experience of all proves that eminence is
to lie won in no other way than by patient perse-'
yeranco, and assiduous culture of the moral, mental,
and social qualities. To be a successful practitioner
of medicine requires many qualifications
in addition to mental accomplishments. A constant
cheerfulness of demeanor, gentleness of manner,
patience of the weaknesses of the sick, and
affability of deportment, must be united in an individual
to embody our highest conception of the
"good physician.' We all of us, no doubt, have
our ideal of excellence in this respect, nor are the
illustrations by any meaus so few as the enemies
if the fraternity would have us suppose. In a
profession so numerous, the practice of which
liolds out to its votaries so many rich rewards, not
only of a pecuniary nature, but also those priceless
tributes of esteem and gratitude which flow
in upon the evening of a life spent in good deeds,
it would be too much to expect perfection in all
its members. If unworthy men have by any
means obtained admittance within its ranks, it is
a misfortune, but by no means a fatal one. There
are examples in modom times without number,
yea, are occurring daily, and will continue to of
fer themselves, of as much seit-sacnnce on uie
part of physicians as ever served to carry the re- j
putation of the profession in its most honored days
to its highest point. The history of evory epidc- !
mic is a record of the unflinching courage ol medical
men, who have remained by the beds of pestilence
and disease When the instinct of self-preservation
has proved more powerful than the
strongest ties of affection or birth, and those
whose duty and privilege it should have been to
solace the departing hour have fled in dismay.
How many pillows have been made soft by the
gentle assiduity of the physician; how many last
sighs have the dying breathed into his ear alone,
and how many messages to friends and those dearly
beloved have been entrusted to his keeping? Is
it not enough of glory and honor thus to liavo
mitigated tne pangs ol suffering humanity; to feel
that by the cords of such sympathies the strength
of which the world cannot measure, he is bound
to those to whom he ministers?
The physician should remember that his victo
ries arc rather those over the affections than
gained at the point of the sword on the crowded
battle-field of the world's strife. So long ashy
any honorable means he can make himself necessary
to the sick, so long will he be able to maintain
his position against all opposition. Let him
also exhibit towards his compeers a full share of
that courteousness of demeanor which marks his
intercourse witli his patients; frowning upon
every attempt to degrade his art into a craft, and
rejoicing in the successes of his equals. Thus
will lie prove to the world that he is worthy of
his vocation; true to himself, he will outride the
-? ?nnludira nnd nnnrlcnrv nro atrivinrr
HUM III W HHL ? Y J r
to raise, and in the calm of the future, respected
and beloved by all, enjoy the honors lie has won.
His name, shining with the effulgence of pood
Jeeds, will descond as a precious legacy to his
jffspring, and the memory of the good physician I 1
>c ever cherished and kept bright.
New Orleans out of Town.?The New York
Journal of Commerce says:
"The New Orleans papers say that their city
has rarely been more completely deserted than at
the present time. During the past tew weeks a.
regular ami uninterrupted sUtmptdt has been in
progress. Kvery steamer leaving that port lias
been densely crowded with a living freight, until,
at the present time, it is estimated that the city
does not contain one-half the number of those
who reside there during the winter season. A
large proportion of these absentees have come
north, and are now scattered along our lakes and
sea coast, sojourning at the various wateringplaces,
or luxuriating amid New England's Jolty
iiills and pleasant vales."
It is said that a certain individual named Ralph
Lane, about three hundred ycurs ngo. first intro- B
