Wiffall Painted to the Life.
Asa Tkexchard, tbe piquant skelchy
correspondent of the Philadelphia Press,
draws the following portrait of Senator
Wigfall, who, with Jeff. Davis and
Toombs, has just taken up quarters in
Richmond:
“Wigfall is in every way a notable and
nnd noteworthy person. He is a little,
squatty man, with hair all over bis face.
You have seen a plump English hull-pup,
half grown. When such a pup growls
you may easily imagine the noble Wig
fall, full, ‘full of sound and fury., I will
iwt add ‘signifying nothing.’ Wigfall
is full of meaning, inexplicable meaning,
to judge bj’ the very small portion which
has escaped him. He belongs to that
mysterious, crusading blood, which boils
within so fiercely, that nothing but froth
ever comes out May be you are not
aware he shot Brooks (Mr. Sumner’s as
sailant) in a duel some twenty years ago.
And thus far be has his claims to regard.
He is moreover a man of rare nceon *
plisbments, is efficient as a ’ champion
against the desperate liger of King Faro
and can drink hlmst If blind drunk :s
quickly as any man. Mono.tr, Wigfa.l
is an expert broadswordsman, a keen p s
tol shot, and a terrible swearer!
Ah, but you should hear him swear.
Such a variety of oaths—oaths senti
inerita], ontba common nnd oi»tb« proper,
oaths, in shoit, masculine, feminine and
neuter, of all sizes and shapes, and for
every emergency, real or imaginary.—
Y >ur straight .'need Quakers can’t alto
gether appreciate the full force, effect,
service, prestige of a full, round, ur varn
ished oath. With the chivalry it is a sta
ple commodity of most excellent quality.
With our ancient cavaliers, you remem
ber, it was a weapon of wonderful prow
ess. It has not degenerated. From ‘by
iny helidom!’to‘damn your eyes!’ the
expletive has gained strength, versatility,
melody of rhythm, music of direction,
and force of cha aetci. Wigfall could
illustrate the entire science, and philoso
phically treat it, if ho chore, vih ex
amples, elucidations, nnd imitations.
Wigfall, believe me, is no c<w
nid. He is what might bi fitly denomin
ated a poetical bully. Last fall, out in
Texas, he got into a dreadful row with
A , a friend of bis. Straightway he
sent him a note, to with:
‘Compliment of Wigfan to A ,
and desires to know if be will accompany
him out of the limits of the State.’
To which 2V replies instanter:
‘A.’s compliments to Wigfall, 1 egs to
assure him that be (Wigfall) is too <l—d
a coward to fulfil! any such arrangement,
if entered into.’
Several days elapse. A. hears noth
ing of Wigfall. At length, one rainy
afternoon, as he was sitting alone in his
room writing, a gentle rap came upon
the door—a rap a-ssoft as the tap of dove.
“Come in I”
The door slowly opened and there
stood Wigfall.
‘Well, A.,’ said he, meekly, ‘the lion
and the lamb will sometimes meet, you
‘D—n you,’retorted A., ‘which is the
lion and which is the lamb here?
Wigfall studied a moment; a heavenly
smile mounted his usually ruby counte
nance; magnanimity, amiability, and pli
ant condescension beamed out of every
jdmple; he paused —but for a moment
—and replied:
‘Well, A-, old fellow, you shall be the
lion, nnd I'll be lamb.’
Quoth A., thereupon, ‘Sit down, then,
and take a little of that whisky, and quit
making a jack of yourself.’
On my honor, 1 record but the simple
truth of history, when I complete my
story by assuring you that before leaving
the 100 m, Wigfali had obtained a tem
porary loan (not yet liquidated,) of five
hundred dollais.
The thing called‘chivalry’«s a queer
fade. 1 know of no more tilting, jilting,
tlirting, delusive substance. It is a good
deal like the toast of Wigfall himself, ‘in
vincible in peace invisible in war.’ The
chevaliers wore long hair, 'ike Sampson
of old, ar.d Roger A. Pryor. They
swear, too, like forty seven pirates, and
drink whiskey worse than a Camanche.
They like a cocktail better than a cockade,
but do not object to the latter, i f it is tip
p d with ermine ami turned up with gold
Ince. They like to be patted upon the
back, cheered and encouraged, and don’t
object to a puff well worded in the news
papers.
A rrival of a Slaver in Vcw York
HSO A’esroes on Board.
The ship Nigtingale, J. J. Guthrie U.
S. Navy, coiFttinnding, arrived nt this
jvort Saturday morning from Monrovia,
west coast of Africa, which port she left
May 13, and anchored nt Quarantine. —
The Nightingale, with 9-50 negroes on
board, was captured, April 28, off Ka
henda, west coast of Africa, by the Uni
ted States sloop-ofwar Saratoga. She
was taken into Monrovia, where tbo car
go was put on shore, and 272 men, 97
women, 340 boys, 92 girls, making a to
tal of 801 —l6O having died on the pas
sage from Kabenda. A prize crew of
26 men were put on board the Nightin
gale from the Saratoga, who brought her
to this port. There has been considera
ble sickness among the crew on board
the Nightingale since leating Monrovia.
The following mon belonging to the Sa
ratoga have died: Henry Nagle, ordi
nary seaman; John Edwards, landsman,
and Michael Redmond, marine. The
Nightinga'e is a clipper ship of 1,000
tons burtlun, built nt Portsmouth, N.
IL, and intended for the Baltic and Aus
tralia trade, but ns tire builders did not
fulfill tlxe contract, she passed into other
hands. Slu» sailed hence September 13,
v ith a Io? J of grain for Liverpool, and
arrived there October 6, where she dis
charged cargo, and was up for the East
Indies. On the 22d January she was
boarded off’ the Uougo by the English
steamer Aucher, and the U. 8. steamer
Mystic, when she proceeded up the Con
go River, and remained there until first
day of April where she was fallen in
with by tbe Saratoga, and boarded. Her
papere being found all right, she was al
lowed to proceed, but on the 22d of
April was cq-hire 1 aa abu-.e.

SHERRY WINE BITTERS!
THE CELEBRATED NEW.ENGLAND REMEDY
—FOR
’ABITUAL CONSTIPATION?
Jaundice, Fever and Ague, General Debility,
and all Diseases arsing from a Dis
ordered Stomach, Liver or
Bowels.
11 HEY are used and recommended by
leading Physicians of the country, and
all who try them pronounce them invalua
ble.
Dr. JAMES L. LEEPERE, writes from
Navarre, Stark Co., Ohio, “the Bitters are
highly praised by those suffering from in
digestion, dysiiepsia and liver complaint.”
Du. WM.M. KERR, of Rogersville, Ind.,
writes us that they are the most valuable med
icine offered. He has recommended them
with great success, and with them made sev
eral cures of palpitation of the heart and gen
eral debility.
E. M DAVIS, Postmaster of Williamsport
Ohio’ sa j s “they give great satisfaction. T
use them myself, having taken cold, become
prostrate and lost my appetite. It received
mo, and I can recommend it with gieat as
surance of its merits.”
THU >. STANFORD. Esq. Blountsvill >,
Henry Co. Ind., writes us a long letter, under
date of May 4. 1860. He was much reduced
had been afflicted lor three years with grea
nervous debility palpitation of the heart of the
most severe and prostration character "after
using a few bottles I was completely restored
and am now in robust health.”
G. W. HOFFMAN says he was afflicted
with rheumatism for twenty years in all its
various forms, at the date of his letter he had
been two years well: the Bitters effecting the
cure.w hen several physicians attending him
could do him no good. He says, “for rheuma
tism, dyspepsia, liver complains, kidney at
section, or dropsy, it is as specific certain
remedy.”
J. W. HUNT writes from Delphos. Allen
Co. Ohio, (a section where Fever and Ague
prevails,) that he most cheerfully recommends
them of decided merit in all cases of FEVER
AND AGUE, DYSPEPSIA, AND GEN
ERAL DEBILITY.

Eau Claire, Eau Claire Co., Wis., Oct. 1, '6l.
Messrs. J. N. Harris ifc Co.—Gentlemen :
Your agent, Mr. A. F. Barnes, whilst passing
through our place, casually heard of a most ef
fectual cure of an obstinate case of salt rheum
in a member of my family, having politely
requested the facts of the case, I most cheer
fully comply with his request.
The subject of this remarkable cure is my
son, and was attacked with salt rheum when
about a year and a half old. I applied from
time to time for aid to the most efficient phy
sicians in the eastern states, one of whom had
traveled in Europe; but whilst he would at
times receive some temporarp relief, still the
disease remained, and would break out occa
sionally, with the most virulent type, until he
rrrived at the age of fourteen years, when my
eye providentially rested upon the advertise
ment of Dr. W eaver’s Canker -and Salt Rheum
Syrup and Cerete. lat ouce procured one
bottle, which on trial so encouraged me, that
I procured two more, together with the Cer
ate, and the result is that my son now is and
has been effectually cured of that wretched
disease for the lest three and a half years.
Respectfully youra, ALFRED PARKER.

The Pain Killer is by universal consent al
lowed to have won for itself a reputation un
surpassed in the history of medi :al prepara
tions. Its instantaneous effect in the entire
eradication and extinction of Pain, in all its
various forms incidental to the human family,
and the unsolicited written and verbal testi
mony of the masses in its favor, have been and
are its own best advertisement.
REV. W. B. JACOBS :
Newark, N. J., June 6,1860.
Messrs Perry Davis <fc Son — Gantlemen :
Allow me, unsolicited, to send you a word of
commendation for your Pain Killer. I have
used it in my family these several years, and
fonnd it all it claims to be. For Rheumatism,
Coughs Colds, Bures, Cholera tendencies and
difficulties, as well as diseases generally that
prevail in families, I regard the Pain Killer as
beyond all price, and as efficacious beyond
any medicine within my knowledge. We
keep it as our chief family medicine, and find
its use in ordinary cases worth more than any
doctor. The testimony of others among my
acquaintances and friends is Vqually favora
able. Many clergymen have spoken of it in
the highest terms as a family medicine. Mis
sionaries in repeated instances have said to me
in person and in their letters, that the Pain
Killer was by far the best medicine used in
heathen lands, and they use it for themselves
and families, and administer it to others
around them. Thus ranch lam inclinod to
say as an act es jnstice to yourselves; and as a
benefit to others. You are at liberty to use
this testimonial, if of any service.
Rev. W. B. JACOBS,
Late Editor Christian Chronicle.

MISCELLANEOUS.
The amalgamation of Languages.—There
a growing tendency in this tge to appr O p r i a !'
the most expressive wordj of other langu. |
and after a while to incorporate them into
own ; thus the word Cephalic, which is fro?
the Greek, signifying “for the head,” is now V
coining popularised in connection with y
Spalding's great Headache remedy, but it .
soon be used in a more general way, and th
word Cephalic will become as common «
.Electrotype and many others whose distinctio*
as foreign words has been worn away by '
neon usage until they seem “native and to tC
manor born.”
?ardly Realized.
Hi ’ad 'n ’otrible ’eadache this haften.oor,
hand I stepped into the hapothecarics hand
says hi to the man, “Can you tiease me of at
'eadache ?” “Does it hache ’ard,” says ’e.-J
“Hexceedingly,” says hi. hand upon that e
gave me a Cephalic Fill, hand ’pou me 'onw
it cured me so quick that I ’ardly realized I 'ad
'ad an ’eadache.
Headache is the favorite sii»n by which
nature makes known any deviation whatever
from the natural state of the brain, and viewed
in this light in many be looked on as a safe,
guard intended to give notice of disease which*
might otherwise escape attention, till too late to
be remedied : and its indications should new?
Im? neglected. Headache may be classified un
der two names, viz : Symptomatic and Idiopath.
ic. Symptomatic Headache is exceedingly
common and is the precursor of a great variety
of diseases, among which are Apoplexy, Gout,
Rheumatism and all febrile diseases. In its
nervons form it is syn pathetic of disease of the
stomach constituting sick headache, of hepatic
disease constituting bilious headache, o f wornw.
constipation and other disorders of the bowels*
as well as venaland uterine affections. Diseases
of the heart are very frequently attended with
Headaches : Anaemia and plethora sre also affec.
tions which frequently occasion headache. Idio
pathic Headache is also very common, being
usually distinguished by the name of nervou,
headache, sometimes coming on suddenly in a
state of apparently sound health and prostrat.
ing at once the mental and physical energies,
and in other instances it comes on slowly .herald,
ed by depression of spirits or acerbity" of tem
per. In most instances the pain is in the front
of the head, over one or both eyes; and some,
times provoking vomiting ; under this clast
may also be named Nenralgia-
For the treatment of either class of Headache
the Cephalic Pills have been found a sure and
safe remedy, relieving the most acute pains in a
few minutes, and by its subtle power eradica
ting the diseases of which Headache is the uner
ring index.
Bridget.—Missus wants you to send her a
box of Cephalic Glue, no, a "bottle of Prepared
Pills,—but I’m thinking that’s not just it naith
er ; but perhaps ye’ll be afther knowing whai
it is. 1 e see she’s nigh dead and gone with the I
Sick Headache, and wan’x some more of thatl
same as relaived her before.
Druggist.— You must mean Spalding’sCephal. I
ic Pills.
Bridget.— Och ! sure now and you’ve sed it,
here’s the quarthar and give me the Pills and
don’t be all day about it aither.
A Real Blessing.
Physician.— Well, Mrs. Jones, how is tba
headache ?
Mrs. Jones, Gone ! Doctor, all gone I the pill
you sent cured me in just twenty minutes, nnd
I wish you would send more so that I can haw
t hem handy.
Physician.— You can get them at any Drug
gists. Call for Cephalic Pills, I find they nevir
fail, and I recommend them in all cases of Head
ache.
J/ra. Jones.— l shall send for a box directly,
and shall tell all my suffering friends, for they
are a real blessing. “
Twenty Millions of Dollars saved.—Mr.
Spalding litis sold two millions of bottles of liin
celebrated Prepared Glue and it is estimated
that each bottle saves at least ten dollars worth
of broken furniture, thus making an aggtegat*-
of twenty millions of dollars reclaimed from to- .
ta] loss by this valuable invention. Havi;- i
made his Glue a household word, he now pt’>-
poses to do the world still greater service by fin
ing all the aching heads with his Cephalic" Pills,
and if they are as good as his Glue, Head
aches will soon vanish away like snow in
July.
Did you ever have the Sick Headacb. 1
Do you remember the throbbing temples, the |
fevered brow, the loathing and disgust at the j
sight of food. How totally unfit you were for ■
pleasure, conversation or study. One of the J
Cephalic Pills would have relieved you from all | s
the sufferihg which you then experienced. For
this and other purposes you, should alw.-oi
have a box of them’or. hand to use as occasion
requires.
Fact worth knowing.—Spalding’s Cephal
ic Pills are a certain cure for Sick Heidach:,
Bilious Headache, Nervous Headache, Costive
ness and General Debility.
