Kiiow-SiotlUng Poetry.
The Know Nothings appear to have sprung up
in the tar-off regions of Nebraka,as the following
original poetry, trom the Omaha Arrow, would
seem to indicate:
DON’T KNOW,
M ho is it moves with silent pace,
ith brow serene and smiling face.
Each woid and action perfect grace?
“I don't know—do you?”
Whose heart shines forth from kindled eyes,
And listens to oppression's cries,
And when in danger never flies?.-
“I don't know—do’ you ?
Who does not show, by tongue or pen,
What he has learned —where he has been.
And keeps his thoughts from other men !
“I don't know—do you?”
Who, when he secs his country ruled,
By men in foreign climate school’d,
Thinks as a freeman he is fooled ?
“I don't know—do you ?”
Who, when he sees that Popish power
Is gaining foothold every hour,
Feels that a storm begins to lower?
“I don't know do you?”
Who feels that men born in this land,
.And 'gainst oppression dared to stand,
Are just as good as “pauper brand Vi
“I don’t know—-dovou?”
Cant Phrases!
An exchange paper says; “The use of
slang phrases is a very sure mark of vulgar
ity. Of late, it seems to have extended
among young men, and even among young
women, too. It should be carefully avoided
by both, as disgusting to every delicate and
well educated mind. The Drawing Room
Companion, in an article denouncing the
practice, very justly remarks that the hu
man speech should be noble and dignified,
and worthy to express the thoughts of im
mortal beings. Low ideas are always at
tached to cant phrases, which must inevita
bly exercise a degrading influence upon the
mind. Low conceptions are as detrimental
to improvement as wet and heavy plumage
to a bird that would take a lofty flight.
To show the extent to which the habit of
using cant phrases is sometimes carried, the
following conversation, which trasnspired in
the Stout family, is reported:
T declare to goodness! I really think
Mr. Rustle is making up to our Josephine!’
said Mrs. Stout, after the gentleman refer
red to had passed the previous evening at
their house, staying to a later hour than
usual.
‘You'd better believe it,” rejoined tiie
young lady, playfully.
“You may bet high on that,’ added Na
poleon, who was in the act of lighting a real
Havanna.
‘How do you like the ‘cut of his jib,' Tim
othy?’ resumed Mrs. Stout, turning to her
husband.
‘1 don’t greatly like his ‘rig,’ but Jose
phine thinks he’s ‘some,’ ’ was the reply.
‘Whether you like him or not, its my
opinion he’ll make a‘tip-top husband,’ ’ cou
inued the mother.
“Fut her through,’mother,’ said Jose
phine. blushing,
•(do in lemons I’ suggested Napoleon,
smoking through his nose; a remark by tiie
way, so ambiguous that it certainly must
have puzzled other parties to guess at his
meaning; but in the present case it seemed
to be invested with perfect lucidity.
‘Napoleon. I advise you to ‘shut your hop
per !’ ’ elegantly retorted the young lady.
Mr. Stout proceeded to inquire if Mr.
Rustle was a man of property, and was as
sured by his better half that he had a ‘pock
et full ot rocks.’ The husband and father
then remarked to the effect that he had been
more favorably impressed with Mr. Good
won, a young farmer in the neighborhood,
than with the gentleman under considera
tion.
Miss Stout manifested a different opinion
on the subject, emphatically declaring that
he ‘couldn't come in.’
‘He’s over that way.’ said her brother,
making a gesture over his shoulder with ids
thumb.
Animals of China.
The denseness of the population has long
since entirely driven out all wild quadru
peds; and there are also few domestic ones,
such as are found in Eastern countries.—
Beasts of burden are in a great degree su
perceded by the means of transport afford
ed by the numerous rivers and canals, and
by the coolies or porters, a class of athletic
men, who take the piece of animals iiucar
rying burdens and in dragging boats. An
imals are excluded, to leave more food tor
men. There are no meadow* for feeding cat
tle; but the entire soil is used in raising food
for the inhabitants. Wild cats are some
times caught, and are considered a great
dainty. Monkeys are found in the south
west provinces. What few horses are
found in China, are small, and very inferior
in every respect. The buffalo is sometimes
used in ploughing. Dromedaries are used
in Pekin and i’artary. x'here are also hogs,
goats and sheep. There is but one variety
ol dogs in the country, an animal about
one loot in height and two in length, re
sembling a small spaniel. Hats u re very
abundant and furnish the common people
with meat. They are very large and de
structive to crops.
Of the birds in China, there are the ea
gle, the falcon, the magpie, crows, spar
rows, cormorants, curlews, quails, pigeons,
larks, pheasants, the rice-bird, and man,
species of aquatic birds. Cormorants are
used by the Ciiiuese for catching fish. The
falcon is imperial property, and the magpie
is sacred to the reigning family.
Fish form a very important part of the
food of the Chinese, and great care is taken
in raising them in artificial fish ponds. The
gold and”silver fishes are kept in glass globes
as ornaments. Among the fish eaten are
the cod, sturgeon, mullet, carp, perch, sea
brain, etc; crab-fish and oysters are com
mon on the coast.
The larger species of reptiles are un
known in China. Frogs, lizards, and fresh
water tortoises are common. Venomous
serpents are very rare.

Dr. I. ~J. CZAPKAY’S
TJROPHTLACTICUM, (Self-disinfecting A-
M gent,) a sure preventive against Gonorrhea
and Syphilitic Diseases, and an unsurpassed rem
edy for all Venereal, Scrofulous, Grangrenons,
and Cancerous Ulcers, Foetid Discharges from
Vagina, Uterus, and Urethra, and all Cutaneous
Eruptions and diseases. For sale at Dr. Czap
kay’s Office, Armory Hall, corner of Sacramento
and Montgomery streets, San Francisco. As in
oculation is a preventive Small Pox, so Dr. L. J.
Czapkay’s Prophilacticum, a preventive against
Syphilitic and Gonorrhneical Diseases. With
this intention, Dr. C. makes the jjiiGlic acquaint
ed with his excellent Phrophilactium. Syphilis
is one of the most dangerous diseases with which
the human body can be afflicted, whose horrid
consequences are not limited to an individual, or
to a family, but to three and five generations
Consequences which are only too often the cause
of destroyed physical and mental health, of pre
mature death, of lunacy, idiocy and suicide. In
order to limit the extension of Syphilis, illicit iu
terconfse between tin; sexes must be avoided, or
remedies must be used to prevent contagion with
the Syphilitic poison. Dr. E. J. Czapkay’s Pro
philacticum has been analyzed by the most emi
nent physicians and chemists of Europe and the
United States, and pronounced as the best pre
ventive against Venereal Diseases. The above
remedy is not new. It was discovered by Dr.
Czapkay many years ago, and is now in use all
over Europe and parts ot the United States of
North America. The etfectof the far-famed rem
edy is very simple,and uninjurious to the system;
it combines chemically with the venereal poison,
and through that the poison is neutralized and
its power destroyed in such a manner that con
tagion cannot take place if the directions are
strictly followed. Thereby, ye young and old,
male and female, get of this valuable remedy, or
you expose yourselves to Hie dangers aud conse
quences of the horrid disease. Syphilis, and gen
eration after generation will su ifer for your apa
thy—not saying anything about time and money
that you lose in getting cured of it. Dr. L. .1.
Czapkay’s Prophilacticum is also an unsurpass
ed remedy and cure in all the following diseases:
Venereal, Scrofulous, Gangrenous, and Cancer
ous Ulcers, Foetid Discharges from the Vagina,
Uterus, and Urethra,and all Cutaneous Eruptions
and Diseases. The Prophilacticum is in the
shape of a cake of soap, and is used externally,
whether as a preventive or curative; consequent
ly, in the latter case must he combined with in
ternal medicines to eradicate the poison already
in the system. For that purpose, Dr. Czapkay
will supply, free, every one with a prescription
for his valuable compound Blood Purifier, so that
every one who suffers from disease tan get cured
of it, without being imposed upon by quacks or
self-styled Venereal Doctors. L. J. Czapkay
would inform the public that his experience is
extensive in all diseases to whiclgthe human body
is subject, and bis reputation as a medical advis
er stands high, having been regularly educated
as a physician and surgeon, and being a gradu
ate cf the Medical University at Pe-th, Hungary,
occupying in the late Hungarian Revolutionary
War the iiigh position of Chief Physician to the
20th regiment of Honveds, Chief Surgeon to the
Military Hospital of Pesth, and late Lecturer on
Diseases of the Urinary Organs, and diseases of
women and children. Therefore, don't hesitate
a moment, all ye who suffer from disease, or wish
to prevent the contagion of the horrid poison,
but go at ouce, or address a line to Dr. Czap
kay’s office, and get of his far-famed Prophilac

ESTABLISHED FOR THE PERMANENT CUKE OF ALL
PRIVATE AND CHRONIC DISEASES, A THE
SUPPRESSION OF QUACKERY.
DR. L. J. CZAPKAY, late in the Hungarian
Revolutionary War, Chief Physician of the
20th regiment of Honveds, Chief Surgeon to the
Military Hospital of Pesth, and late lecturer on
diseases of Urinary Organs, and Diseases of Wo
men and Children, would most respectfully in
form the public of California, that he has open
ed an Institute for the cure of Chronic Diseases
of the Lungs, Liver, Kidneys, Digestive and Cen
tal Organs, and all Private Diseases, viz: Syph
ilitic U.lcers, Gonorrhoea, Gleet, Strictures, Sem
inal Weakness, and all the horrid consequences
of self-abuse; and he hopes that his long experi
ence and successful practice of many years will
ensure him a share of public patronage. By the
practice of many years in Europe and the Uni
ted States, and during the Hungarian war and
campaigns, he is enabled to apply the most effi
cient and successful remedy against diseases of
all kinds. He uses no mercury —charges moder
ate —treats his patients in a correct and honora
ble way—has references of unquestionable verac
ity from men of known respectability and high
standing in society. All parties consnlting_him,
by letter or otherwise, will receive the best aud
gentlest treatment, and implicit secrecy.

Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch, Sept. 14th, 1851,
which is as follows:
“A CARD.—The undersigned feels it her duty
to express her heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Czap
kay, for the successful cure of herself and child.
The latter, having been afflicted by a severe at
tack of ‘Cholera Infantum," was given up as incu
rable by some of the most celebrated physician-,
when she called on Dr. Czapkay, of whom she had
heard very favorable reports, & who. after a short
period, restored the child to perfect health. En
couraged by this extraordinary result, she sought
advice herself, for the scrofulous malady with
which she had been afflicted for eight years, and
which withstood the treatment of the best phy
sicians iuihirope and America. But Dr. Czap
kav lias succeeded in aff irdingher permanent re
lief. so that she can now enjoy life, which, for
eight years, had lost all charms to her. She
therefore deems it due to herself and to all sick
and afflicted, to recommend Dr. Czapkay as one
of the most skillful physicians within the United
States. MRS. CAROLINE GRAY,
Cor. Walnut & 7th sts, Philadelphia, Pa.
A. Glaser, Notary Public, 120, 7th street.”
The following is an editorial notice iu the Bos
ton Daily Times of August sth. 1553:
A Skillftl Physician.— Dr. L. J. Czapkay
has opened an office at No. lb Pleasant street, in
this city. Dr. C. is a Hungarian by birth, and
was connected with the patriotic army as physi
cian aud surgeon under the patronage of Kos
suth. He combines with a finished education and
the most refined a.id agreeable manners, the most
extensive scientific abilities and -kill in ius pro
fession, and we feel much pleasure in recom
mending him to our citizens as a physician and
| gentleman. Dr. Czapkay has spent some time in
Philadelphia, where he won the confidence and
j friendship of those with whom he became ac
j quainted. Among his friends in'Philadelphia,
are gentlemen of the highest respectability, with
whom we are personally acquainted. He bad an
extensive practice in Hungary, before the Aus
trians and Russians compelled him to leave it for
I being found guilty of excessive patriotism. We
hope he will receive the patronage due a man of
so eminent capacity.
The above are only a few of the many testimo

THE EYES.
All Diseases of the Eye Cured with imfall-
I.«g certainty.
DR. W. A. SNYDER, Oculist.
DR. Yi . A. SNYDER'S mode of treatng disea
ses of the Eye differs materially from the
course commonly pursued by Physicians. Be
lieving that most diseases of the Eye have their
origin in obstructed circulation or an impure
state of the system, his remedies will be pre
scribed with reference to the disease with which
the patient may be afflicted: and by erjualizing
the circulation, removing obstruction and restor
ing the general health of the patient, the Eyes
may be permanently cured without the use’of
• costic or any of the irritating applications in
general use. Dr. R. would say to those who have
exhausted the skill of all others without relief,
not to despair of a cure without giving him a
trial, for in all cases where vision is not entirely
lost, or the Eye not completely disorganized there
is still hope.

A CARD-PROM DR. J. c. YOUNG’S I'M
VAYE MEDICAL OFFICE- To the a f
Dieted. —In this age of progress, when science
developing itself in such a manner as to am,.. '
almost miraculous, everything in common‘i,hie
is looked upon as not worth notice. In view
this fact, Dr. Young, corner of Montgomery an
California streets, up stairs, has concluded til
leave the beaten track hitherto pursued by nKNt
scientific physicians, (that of waiting for the puls
lie to find you out alone,) and publish to the
world, as much as may be, his knowledge of the
healing art, to let those who are in need of as
sistaifce know where they can find relief without
fear of being imposed upon.
In continuation of this subject, Dr. Yo nn „
would say that for the past ten years he has mir
sued the practice of medicine in one of the Var
gest cities of the United States, with the higher
success, and Hint his standing as a physician j.
without reproach, having at one time been h,.
tnrer at the University of Pennsylvania on veins
real diseases.
Upon all these considerations, Pr. Young has
confidence in introducing himself to the jnihli/
knowing that they will sustain well earned merit’
The following are a few of the many testimo
nials which have appeared in the public journals
of the last few years.
[From the Boston Medical Journal.]
Although we are opposed to the system of ad
vertising, for good and sufficient reasons, still we
deem it but justice to say that Dr. Young is one
of the most industrious and intelligent votaries
of the medical science in the United States.
[From Professor Jackson.]
The subscriber is personally acquainted with
Dr. Young, and has seen much of his practice"
and can bear testimony to his merits as a practi
tioner.
[From the New York Herald.]
The eminence of this distinguished gentleman
in his profession, and the very extended opportu
nities possessed by him for the observation of ve
nereal diseases, makes his services invaluable to
those afflicted with the above complaints.
[From the Whig and Advertiser.]
All afflicted with private complaints, should if
possible consult with Dr. Young, whose medical
education is not surpassed by any physician in
the country. In his skill, honor and integrity all
may rely with safety, while most of the medical
practitioners in the city are without honesty or
respectability, their pretensions being grounded
in ignorance and assumption.

Francisco. Read and reflect.
* Is there a hereafter ?
(And that there is, conscience uninfluenced,
And suffered to speak out, tells every man,)
Then it is an awful thing to die—
More horrible yet to die at one's own hand.
Self-murder—name it not!
Shall Nature, swerving from her earliest clictat
Self-preservation, fall by its own act?
Forbid it, Heaven.
The indulgence in secret practices is the mod
certain, though not always the most immediate
and direct, avenue to destruction. Physicians of
all ages have been most unanimously of the opin
ion that the loss of one ounce of the seminal se
cretions, by unnatural aid or emissions, weakens
the system more than the abstraction of forty
ounces of blood. One of the fikst writers on
medical jurisprudence states that three-fourths ol
the insane owe their malady to such abuse.
How importadt then, it is—for every one. hav
ing the least cause to suspect any trouble in that
way, to attend to it immediately; even one single
occurrenca should be sufficient to cause doubt,
and much more so if the person had ever indulged
in the soul-killing habit. The treatment pursued
by the justly celebrated Dr. J. C. Young in cases
of seminal weakness, impotency, sterility, ner
vous debility and paralysis, (the' last is tile most
dangerous, and when it once occurs, incurable.)
is not surpassed by any physician in the country.
It is the same as that followed by him for vears.
under the guidance of the world-renowned' Kee
md of Paris, and Acton of London. Dr. Young's
office is at the corner of Montgomery and Cali
fornia -ts., where he can be consulted on that and
all other private diseases, with the utmost confi
dence and secrecy. Dr. Young will warrant a
perfect and permanent cure, or make no charge.
N. B—Letters enclosing $lO will receive prompt
attention. The doc tor's time being so much taken
up thap Im‘ cannot attend tolctters unless paid for
it.
P. S.—Apartments privately arranged.

minal Weakness—D r . J. C. YOUNG addit
es those who have injured themselves by private
and improper indulgences in that secret and soli
lary habit which ruins the body and mind, milit
ting them for either business or society. The fol
lowing are some of the sad and melancholy ef
fects produced by early’ habits of youth, viz;
weakness of the back and limbs, pain in the head,
dimness of sight, loss of muscular power, palpi
tation of the heart, dyspepsia, nervousness, irri
tability, derangement of tire digestive functions,
general debility, symptoms of consumption, At’.
Mentally, the fearful effects on the mind are
more to be ereaded. Loss of memory, confusion
of ideas, depression of spirits, evil forebodings,
aversion to society, self-distrust, love of solitude,
timidity, &c., are some of the evils produced.
All persons who are afflicted with anv of the
above symptoms, should not fail to call on hr.
