Baltimorr, Md., June 4.1864.
Mr. Stockbridgt, of tlx FburUain Hotd, Light ttrest,
Baltimore?
Dear 8ir: Being on the point of leaving th? ciiy,
I avail myself of a few idle moments to thank you :
ilndly for the medicine you s?nt me, and which has
restored me to the nae of my limbs. I beg you to
send me four bottles more, to carry on my voyage.
Since I had the fortune to use Dr. H&mpton's Vege
table Tincture my ocnfldence is so strong that, in
gutitude io the proprietors of said medi ine, I bag
yr.i to present my respects to thum, and induce
them to make it more publloly known as a sure
Rheumatic cure. Having callod cn me cn the 19tii
of April laat, and seen me proatrated on my bed,
uaelesti iu all mv 11 nba, you can appreciate near 1/ j
as well as myeslf the prompt relief I received from J
Dr. Hampton's Tincture, and I nm positive had U !
not been lor your strong and forcible iscoiam.6ii?f ? ?
tions I should still have been in bed.
It is really a pity this specific should not be ep- '
proved by medical men, and like all pat*at drugs it i
should suffer the imputation the publiy geaerally
give to suc.n preparations. I myself, who was al
ways opposed to a patented specific, took tbis medi
cine with reluot&noe, and without corJBienoe in it,
and it was only through your disinterested, friendiy
recommendations, and my critic I niiH.aiou that ia
duoed me to try this rea'ly b*nofioi?i Yegetabi*
Bustnre.
You may inform Messrs. Mortimer A Mowbray
that they arw at liberty t? make ws of my nam? ia
the eapport of the good effects of Dr. II&mptouB
Tegetable Tincture, as it has cured me In five weeks
of a chronic Injlammai'yry Rheumatism, contracted
ander tropical clinutet, and of tntn war* prrlodxcaX

that even the d^femnedparfj cf ir*y hand! are Cast

Of Hampton's Vegetable Tincture. For several

THE PREACHES AND THE GAKBLXK ?
Or, Putting the Saddle on the Wrong Horn.
BT HARRY 5TT1IM,
Penwn. of very antagonistic portion,
of society are frequently thrown into in
timate association with each other, as
"Debris Data" very jnstlj- observes,
while traveling on the steamers of the
southern and western waters. Not long
since a number of gamblers and two or
three clergymen happened to be passen
gers on board the General Pike steamer
bound on a trip from Cincinnati to New
Orleans. The eompany of the cabin,
from whatever cause, extra morality or
otherwise, did not seem inclined to par
ticipate in the pastime of gaming, as is
quite usual on a majority of these river
craft.
Several days accordingly passed and
not a symptom of a card or gambling
had been observed. At length a gambler
?seemingly an unsophisticated green
horn in the ways of fashionable or polite
society, although a wild, reckless, dare
devil sort of a hard customer of a back
woodsman, began to grow weary of the
tedium of the passage, and became im?
patient to realize his traveling expenses,
by victimizing some of the "verdant"
ones of the motley crowd.
Tapping one of the preachers alluded
to on the back, in a familiar sort of a way,
he thus accosted him :
" I say, stranger, dull music here
aboard. Suppose we take a drink, and
get up a little life 'mongst us?"
"Excuse me, my friend, I never in
dulge in that way."
44 O-o-h ! you don't, eh ? Tee-totaller,
'p'raps? Well, let's have a hand at
cards, then."
" There again I'm at fault. I do not
know one card from another,"
" By the ramping old sarpint, that's
quare ! But come, my young hearty,
and I'll show you all about 'em."
" I'd rather not, sir, if you please."
" Fire and brimstone ! Can't we get
up some deviltry or 'nother ? I'm sick
on't, p< kin' round this 'ire way. Won
der if there aint some "old hoss" aboard
that'll give a 'preach.' That sly old
coon over there looks like one on 'em
gospel-shop critters. S'pose we ax him I
to gin u^ a sarmint? I'd like almighty
bad to hear a parson snort, or listen to a
reglar Fourth of July oration by some
reglar ring-tailed roarer: by the living
jingo, I would !"
"That gentleman over there, who
? looks like a sly coon,' as you say, is a
Methodist preacher, and I think it quite
likely he will feel disposed to accommo
date you with a sermon, if you'd like to
hear one."
" In course I would. You know him,
don't you ? Well, then, just git him to
gin the whole suc*r-biliug on us a blath
ergasting blow-out, will yer ? I'll hold
his hat and take up the collection, dod
rot me if I don't."
" 111 speak with the clergyman, and
try and prevail on him to give us a short
lecture for our edification."
lie accordingly passed over to his
friend of the white cravat, who sat in t^e
ladies' saloon, conversing with some la
dies, and stated the wishes the gambler.
Returning, however, he remarked that
the preacher was affected with a quinsy
gore throat, and felt unable to preach at
that time.
" Oh, h 11. got the quinsv ! The
d 1 he has ? Well, I'm bound to have
a trifle of sport somehow or 'nother if
I don't 111 split all up into big chunks of
fence railing, I will. But I say, mv tine
Buckeye sapling, you re not bashful, are
you '* S pose you try and give us a
sprinklin' of your own jabberjaw. You
look a kinder college lamed, any how, my
young hickory nut, with the bark On!"
" My good friend, should I attempt to
preach, I would endeavor to make you
feel a little uncomfortable in your boots,
and might oflend your, sir."
" You would, eh ? Not as you knows
on, I reckon. I'm not a bull-dog of that
breed, sir. Devil a bit on't?no siree,
old hoss. You are just the chap for my
money, you are ! Here; get up on this
whisky barrel, and gin us a big streak of
hell furious brimstone. Stir up these old
ironsides ; make a reg'lar quaking mong
the dry bones ; put in the tommy-hawk
licks, and come the nigger camp-meetin'
touch over'm, will yer ? This here old
revolutionary cock has got a psalm book,
I knows, for I seed him reading some
thing about a 4 title clear' in it, a spell
ago. I can sing myselflike a young jack
ass in a corn crib, if you'll only give the
lines out By, golly, I'm great on suck
ing sugar eggs, any how. And mind
you, neighbor, make an almighty scream
ing prayer. Blow hard, and strike out
your wind as loud as you can, and make
em believe a pack of hungry young pra
rie wolves are coming, with a big chunk
of thunder and lightning, and a tall bile
ing of a tearing earthquake. By the
gracious Moses on Mount Sinai, we'll
have rambunctious sport, shan't we, my
old Julius- Cecero-Cornelius-Grippa-Joe
Smith,-the-Mormon-Robin Hood, and all
them fellers chawed up into one big to
bacco quid ?"
The gambler assisted the preacher to
arrange the place for a sermon, borrowed
the hymn-book, and sat down to listen
to the young preacher with an expression
of mock seriousness on his rubicund coun
tenance.
By this time many of the passengers
had collected in the dining saloon, won
dering what would be the upshot of the
strange proceedings.
The preacher smoothed his face with
his bandanna, selected a hymn, and
lifted up his voice in prayer. Waxing
wanner and warmer in his supplications,
he fervently prayed God to send an ar
row conviction to the gambler's soul
would be the means of his salvation from
eternal hell. The prayer was followed
by an eloquent and searohing sermon,
and such was the pungency and power
of the speaker's language, uuder the

deep responsibilities of his divine mis
sion, that every word seemed a burning
shaft to the gambler's heart and eon
science. He was soon seen to twist and
squirm under the gospel troths, and
finally to sneak away through a state
room to ttoe upper deck of the boat,
without waiting to participate in the
closing hymu, and " hand around the
hat," as he had promised.
After all was over, however, the gam
bler sought again the young preacher,
and thus addressed him:
44 I say, my friend, you're a reg'lar
prcaoher, aint ytr ?"
Yes, sir, l have the honor to be
ca'Kd an unworthy embassador of Christ,
and trust I may be the means of bring
ing back many wandering and perishing
souls to God."
4< W ell, I mought ha' knowad as much,
any how. Blow me, if you didn't knock
the anthills from under my rattlesnaka
trampers, I wouldn't say so. Better
b'lieve you did, sir. If you keep on
preachin' that 'ere way youH make us
river gamblers as scarce as pigeon's milk
in a frosty morning, you will. But it's
all right, I reckon. My good old mam
my used to pray a good little bunch when
I wasn't knee-high to a yaller grasshop
per, and I couldn't help a thinkin' on her
when you chawed me all up into little
bits of Virginia pigtail, and put my sing
ing pipes out of tune entirely. I'd gin a
hundred dollar old Kentuck bank note to
have that 'ere saddle put on the back of
some other old hoss ! By the power of
seventy wild cats, you made me feel
meaner than a nigger sucking green per
simmons with his mouth full of fish
hooks. Yes, siree, you did, or I'm no
corn-cracker, by golly."
Hudson, the English Railroad King,
still Wealthy.?A London letter writer,
speaking of George Hudson, the railway
king, says it is quite common to speak of
him as a ruined man. It is quite true
that he has quitted the palatial residence
at Albert Gate, Knightsbridge, at which,
in his reign of railwayism aristocracy,
he used to entertain the aristocracy of
England?eager to worship the man of
gold?but he prudently parted with that,
some short time ago, to Count Walewski,
the French ambassador, (clearing a good
round sum by the bargain,) and now
lives, his iron diadem thrown aside, in
Half Moon street, like an ordinary mor
tal. But he has enormous wealth yet.
He has sat in parliament, for the borough
of Sunderland, since Sep ember, 1845,
and though opposed at each election
(three) since then he has always been re
turned at the head of the poll by a long
chalk. He continues magistrate of York
eity, (of which he has been thrice lord
mayor,) of the east and north ridings of
Yorkshire, and of Durham?of which
last county he is deputy lieutenant, ne
retains the immense landed property
called New by Park, in the north riding
of Yorkshire, and his large sums invest
ed in shares in the Great Western, Lon
don and North Western, and other pav
ing railways. He has made very exten
sive purchases of land in Ireland, under
the encumbered estates act, and spent
?5,000 in a vain effort to get his son re
turned to parliament for an Irish borough.
I suppose l.e is worth some ?250,000. If
this be poverty, or even "reduced circum
stances," all 1 say is, make me poor or
rcduced, like burly George Hudson. The
worst is, he must die of apoplexy, he is
so fat.
A Fajtilt of Six.?The Dayton (Ohio)
Gazette?on the authority of " an eye
witness, a lady of character," of that
city, 44 who saw and counted the chil
dren, and had the mother's word that
they were all hers at a single birth"?
gives an account of six babies that lately
passed, in charge of their mother, a Ger
man woman, through that place, to visit
their paternal parent in that vicinity,
who had been taken sick at a place
where he had been employed at work:
"Shehad with her in a wagon, snug'y
propped in a wine basket, the six chil
dren. They were not much bigger than
applc-dumplings, but seemed to be wide
awake and kicking. They were six
months old; all boys, and all as near of
a size as possible, except the runt of the
party, which is described as being the
smallest mortal of its age ever seen."
The same paper goes on to say, that
while there are many well attested cases
of five children, there is but one case re
corded of six at a birth, and about this
there is much doubt. It happened in
the day of Dr. Pare, an eminent French
surgeon and writer in the year 1590.
The mother, who was the wife of Lord
Meldemere, died after delivery, and but
one of the children lived, succeeding to
his father's title and estates.
There is a legend that a Guelph, an
cestress to the present Queen of England,
had twelve children at one birth, but al
though credited by the faithful, this is,
of course, not generally believed.
Am Enthusiastic Dkiam.?The editor
of the New York Mirror says: 44 We
never took chloroform but once, and then
it was administered by a dentist in Wash
ington, previous to extracting a tooth.
It was during the Taylor campaign, and
being heart and soul engaged in the cause
of 4 Old Rough and Ready,' the dentist
informed us, that while under the inspi
ration of the drug, we ' made the most
eloquent political speech that he ever
listened to in his life; and that our ges
tures were so emphatic that it took two
men to prevent us from smashing the
looking glass.' We thought we were ad
dressing a mass meeting in New York;
and the impression of that circumstance
is to-dav as vivid as anything in the
realm of memory."
O" Mr. Edward Willis, of Kingston,
Plymouth county, Massachusetts, Has
discovered a 44 robber's cave" in tke
woods between the villages of Plymouth
and Kingston, in that State. The place
is being visited by the inhabitants of the
Old Colony.
