Hereditary Features.
A peculiar thickness of the under li has
been hereditary in the Imperial House of Hapsburg even since the marriage, some centuries
ago, with the Polish ony of Jaggellon,
i iteame. A certain fullness ia the lower and lateral parts of the face is conspicuous
in the portraits ot the whole series of sovereigns, from George I. to Victoria, and bas
been equally marked in other members of tho
family. The females of the ducal house of Gordon have long been remarkable for a peculiarly elegant conformation of the veck. The
Guatasavéenire Bruces, who are descended
from a common stock with the famous Robert
Bruce, of Scotland, are said to have that strongly marked form of the cheek bones and jaws
which appear on the coins of that heroic monarch, as it dil in bis actual face when his bones
were disinterred at Dunfermline, about thirty
years ago.
The prevalent tallness of the inhabitants of
Pottsdam, many of whom are descended from
the of Frederick I; the Spanish features
observable in the people of the county of Galway, in which, some centuries ago, several
Spanish settlements were made; and the hereditary beauty of the women of Prague—are wellknown facts which have freqently attracted the
attention of chronologists. The burgesses of
Rome (the most invariable portion of every
population) exbibit at the present nt precisely
the same type of face and form as their ancertors, whose busts may be seen carved in relief
on the ancient sarcopbagi; and the Jewish phygiognomies, peetreres upon the sepulchral
monuments of Egypt. are identical with those
which may be observed among modern Jews in
the streets of any of our great cities.
Siwoutar Dears or 4 Resurrectionist.—The
Cincinnati Gazette, of February 28th, has the
following:
At ata late hour last night, we learned the
following details of a most singular affair which
occurred near Cumminville, some four or five
miles from Cincinnati, on Saturday night, Feb.
26th. It appears that a verson whose name is
not given us, entered the burying ground of
that place, and removed a dead body froma
ere which he placed inaeack. In making
is exit from the yard, it was necessary to scale
a high board fence, which the resurrectionist
evidently found difficult in accomplishing with
the burden with which he was encumbered,
In order, therefore, to give himself free use of
his hands and arms, he placed the cord attached
to the mouth of the sack around his shoulder
and climbed to the or of the fence, whence he
must have fallen off, leaving the corpse on the
opposite side, The result was that the cord
was drawn up around his neck, and he was
fownd yesterday morning, having been choked
to death by the weight of the corpse on the
opposite side of the fence, The story eeems an
incredible one, but sturtling as it is, it is nevertheless true.
Svicwe or a Cattrorntan.—The Washington
States, of Feb, 24th, has the following :
Yesterday morning it was discovered that
Wm. H. Parker, of California, aged forty-three
ears, who had been staying at the National
otel for some time past, committed suicide in
his room the night before by taking morphene.
A spoon was found near him, having traces of
the deadly stig upon it, and there were particles of it upon bis mustache. A Coroner’s inquest was held yesterday and a verdict of suicide by taking poison during a fit of temporary
insanity was returned. The deceased leaves
an interesting daughter, Agnes, aged seventeen. The poor girl isin the deepest distress,
but many friends surround her, who are leaving nothing undone to console ber in her affliction, Parker was a mao of means, The body
will be removed for burial to the Congressional
burying ground to-morrow.

Belence has never yet explained the philesophy of digestion. We know that the masticated food is first converted

chyle, a milky Suid, which, in its passage to the veins,
beeomes blood. But how this is effected, we know not.
Now it fs evident, that if this vital fluid be diseased or
Impure, the substances formed from it cannot be healthy,
and every organ, fibre, and tissue of the boily will be in an
unnatural state, This condition of the system ts developed
in various forms; sometimes, outwardly, as in Scrofula and
other uleerous and eruptive diseases: or inwardly, as in
Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Swellings, and decay of the

that SAnwps’ SARSAPARILLA is that medicine. By expelling the very seeds of disease, it restores to the stomach its

your store @ bottle of Sanps' Sarsaparilla, and was then
confined to my bed, without sleep, for a week, occasioned
by a violent pain from a regular Fever Sore, of long standing, on my right leg. My physicians advised me to have
the limb amputated, saying it was the only means likely to
reserve my Iffe, After using half of the bottle, the pain
began to subside, and by the time I had used nearly three
bottles, I was able to transact my regular business, and
before I had finished the sixth bottle, I was as well and as
sound as ever I had been. I most cheerfully recommend
it to all my friends es a most valuable medicine for the
purification of the blood.
Yours, most respectfully,
JAMES MILLER.

ROMAN EYE BALSAM,
FOR INFLAMED EYELIDS.
The delicate structure of the eyelid renders it —
sensitive and Hable to disease. hen, from any cause, it
becomes affected, the inner membrane rapidly inflames,
and the eyelid evinces the strongest predisposition to
attract to itself humors from all parts of the body. Hundreds of persons of scrofulous habit are disfigured by rawness or redness of the eyelids, commonly ealled sore eyes,
and tortured with apprehensions of impaired vision, who,
by using this Balsam, may obtain almost immediate relief.
RHBAD THE FOLLOWING EVIDENCE.
New York, Feb. 16th, 1855.
Messrs. Sanns: Gentlemen,--I was afflicted with a dry
scaly eruption on “ eyelids for fifteen years, commencing
with small styes, w hich gradually run together, and troubled me very much, Various remedies were resorted to,
and several eminent physicians prescribed for me, I however received no permanent benefit until I used the Roman
Eye Balsam, The first application relieved the unpleasant
feeling and symptoms, and in one week I was entirely
cured. It had the same good effect in curing a friend, to
whom I recommended it, for sore eyes. Yours, truly,

DR. CEIAPMAN,
Son of the Celerated Professor Chapman, late of the
University, Pennsylvania, has opened a
Medical and Surgical Institute,
In the City of SAN FRANCISCO, at the South East corner
DUPONT AND JACKSON STREETS,
For the radical and permanent cure ofall Private and
Chronic diseases, All consultations by letter or otherwise
FREE.
R. CHAPMAN, is daily in the habit of relieving,
at his office those unfortunate enough to be affiicted
with any of the forms of private diseases, such as Syphilis
Gonorrhea, Nocturnal Emissions, and all the consequences of Self-abuse, In the first stages of Sypbilitic or Gonorrhceal diseases, he guarantees a cure in afew days, without inconvenience to patient or lrmdrance to his business.
When a patient, by neglect or improper treatment, has
developed the secondary symptoms of Syphilis, such as bubees or paiuful swellings in the groins, or ulcersi the
throat or nose, which if not checked, destroy the soft parts
and cause the bones to mortify, separate and come away,
leaving the sufferer an object hideous to behold ; or when
blotches and pimples break out upon the skin, or when he
has painful swellings upon the bones, or when his constitution is injured so as to predispose to consumption or
constitutional disease, the Doctor guarantees a cure or
asks no compensation.
In RHEUMATISM, clironic or acute; in DYSENTERY or
DIARRHEA, he has safe and effectual remedies. For the
treatment of the consequences of self-abuse, such as nocturnal emissions, nervousness, timidity, headache, pain in
the back and limbs, with general weakness, loss of memory, injury to the sight, restlessness, confusion of ideas,
dislike of society, and a feeling of weariness of life; with
the nervous system so excitable that slight noises shock
or startle the patient, making his existence miserable.
‘or the above maladies the Doctor will guarantee a cure
or ask no comdensation. He ean be consulted free of
charge, and invites all to call, as ‘t will cost them nothing
and be much to their advantage. Office hours from 9 a,
M, to9 p, M.
Syphilis and Gonorrhoea,—Dr. Chapman’s extraordinar
success in the treatment of Syphilitic and Gonorrhoeal diseases in the primary and other stages, induces him to
call public attention to the fact that of the great numbers
who have made daily application to him, there is not one
who has not been effeetually and permanently cured. In
recent cases of Syphilis or Gonorrheea, the Dr. guarantees
a perfect cure in a few days without hindrance to business
or other inconvenience. The Doctor’s method of treatment of these maladies, combines the improvements made
by the medical faculty, with discoveries of his own that
are unknown to any one else, and which, when applied,
prevent the possibility of evil after consequences,
Secondary Syphilis, which is so destructive of health,
producing ulcerations of the throat, destroying the soft
parts, and leaving the bones exposed, which mortify, separate and come away dishguring the patients face most
horribly, as well .s impairing his general health, and predisposing to consumption, the Dr. treats in the most certain and efficient manner, Also Buboes, painful swellings
upon the bones, disfiguring Blotches on the skin, sores,
pimples, and all other consequences of Sy philitic or Gonorrhoeal diseases, he guarantees a cure, or asks no compensation.
The Dr. would especially call the attention of those who
have failed to obtain relief from others, many of whom he
has already cured, and many are still under treatment
The Dr. makes no charge tor consultation, and invites all
to call at his Institute, and he willgive them such satisSaotint hig one apitio nowhere else, Those at a distance
writing to the tor, can have their cases
attended to. ’ promptly

DOCTOR J. C. YOUNG,
Office, Corner of Mon’ and California Strectsa Story,
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.
(OVER WELLS, FARGO & CO’ EEXPRESS OF7ICZ,)
EAD AND
Is there a hereafter,
Gn that there is conscience uninfuenced,
nd suffered to speak out, tells every man,)
Then it is an awful thing to dia,
More horrid yet to die by one’s ewn hand,
Self-murderer—name it not !
Shall Nature, swerving from her eartiest dictate,
Self-preservation, fall by its own act?
Forbid it Heaven,
The indulgence in secret practices is the most certain,
though not always the most immediate and direct avenue
to destruction. Physicians of allages have been most
unanimously of opinion that the loss of one ounce of the
seminal secretions, by unnatural aid or emissions, weakens the system more than the abstraction of forty ounces
of blood. One of the first writers on medical jurisprudence
state that three fourths of the insane owe their malady to
such abuse.
How important then, it is—for every one, having the
least cause to suspect any trouble in that way, to attend
to it immediately; even one single occurrence should be
sufficient to cause doubt, and much more so if the person
had ever indulged inthe soul-killing habit. The treatment used by the justly celebrated DR. J. C. YOUNG, in
cases of seminal weakness, impotency, sterility, nervous
debility and paralysis, (the last is the most dangerous and
when it once occurs, incurable,) is not surpassed by any
physician in the country. It is the same as that follow ed
by him for years, under the guidance of the world-renowned Record of Paris, and Acton of London. Dr. Young’s office is at the corner of Montgomery and California streets,
where he can be consulted on that and all other private diseases, with the utmost confidence and secrecy. Dr.
Young will warrant a perfectand permanent cure, or make
no charges.
N. B.—Letters enclosing $10 will receive prompt attention, The Doctor’s time being so much taken up that he
cannot attend to letters unless paid for it.
CARD FROM DR. J.C. YOUNG'S Private
Medical Office—To the Afflicted—In this age of proprogress when science is almost miraculous, everything in
common place is looked upon as not worth notice. In view
of this fact, Dr. Young, (corner of Montgomery and California streets, up stairs,) has concluded to leave the beaten track hitherto pursued by most scientific physicians,
(that of waiting for the public to @nd you alone,) and publish to the world as much as may be, his knowledge of
the healing art, to let those are in need of assistance know
where they can find relief without being imposed upon.
In continuation of this subject, Dr. Young would say,
that for the past ten yesrs he has pursued the practice of
medicine in one of the largest cities in the United States,
with the highest success, and that his standing as a physician is without reproach, having at one time been a lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania on venreal diseases,
Upon these considerations, Dr. Young has confidence in
introducing himself to the public, knowing that they will
sustain well earned merit,
The following are a few of the many testimonials which
haveappeared in the public journals within the last few
years:
[From the Boston Medical Journal.]
Although we are opposed to the system of advertising,
for good and sufficient reasons, still we deem it but justice
to say that Dr. Young is one of the most industrious and
indefatiguable votaries of medical science in the United
States.
(From Professor Jackson. .
The subscriber is personally acquainted with Dr. Young,
and bas seen much of his practice, and can bear testimony
te his merits as 4 practitioner,
[From the New York Herald.]
The eminence of this distinguished gentleman in his profession, and the very extended opportunities possessed by
him for the observation of venereal disease, makes services
invaluable to those afflicted with the above complaints.
(From the Whig and Advertiser.]
All afflicted with private complaints should if possible,
consult 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 this city are without honesty
or respectability, their pretensions being grounded in ignorauce and assumption,
Important to Miners, Travelers, &e.
here is no malady of deeper importance, either ina
medical or moral poiut of view, to which the human
family is more liable, than that arising from impure connections,
As a medical man itis the duty of every physician to
look at disease as it affectshealth and life, and his sole object should be to mitigate, as far as lies in his power, the
bodily suffering. Human nature at best is but frail, all
are liable to misfortune.
Of all the ills that affect man, none are more terrible
than those ofa private nature. Dreadful as itisin the
person who contracts it, frightful as are its ravages upon
his constitution, ending frequently in destruction anda
loathsome grave, it becomes of still greater importance
when it is transmitted to to innocent offspring. Such being the case, how necessary it becomes that every one having the least reason to fear that every one having the least
reason to fear that they have contracted the disease,
should attend to it at once by consulting some physician
whose respectability and education enables him to warrant
a safe, speedy, and permanent cure. Im accordance with
this necessity, DR. YOUNG feels called upon to state that
by long study and extensive practice, he has become per
fect master of all these diseases which come under the denomination of venereal, and having paid more attention to
that one branch than any other physician in the United
States, he feels himself better quatifiea to treat them,

Mechanics, Inventors, Manufacturers,
AND FARMERS.
The Scintific American, has now reached ita Fourtecath
Year, and will enter upon a New Volume on the 11th of
September. It is the only weekly publication of the kind
now issued in this country, and it has a very extensive
circulation in all the States of the Union. Itis not, as
some might suppose from its title, a dry, abstruse work
on technical science ; on the contrary, it so deals with the
great events going on in the scientific, mechanical and industrial worlds, as to please and instruct every one. If
the Mechanic or Artizan wishes to know the best machine
in use, or how tomake any substance employed in his
business—if the Housewife wishes to get a receipe for making a good color, &e.—if the Inventor wishes to know
what is going on in the way of improvements—if the manufacturer wishes to keep posted with the times, and to em. ploy the best facilities in his business—if the Man of Leisure and Study wishes to keep himself familliar with the
progress made in the chemical labratory, or In the construction of telegraphs, steamships, railroads, reapers,
mowers, and a thousand other machines and appliances,
both of peace and war—all these desiderata can be found
in the Scientific American, and not elsewhere, They are
here presented in a reliable and interesting form, adapted
to the comprehension of minds unlearned in the higher
branches of science and art.
TERMS—One Copy, One Year, $2; One Copy, Six
Months, $1 ; Five Copies, Six Month,s $4; Ten Copies, Sis
Months, $8; Ten Copies, Twelye Months, $15; Fifteen

Strictures, False Passages, Intflamation of the Bladder and
Prostrate Glands, Excoriations, Tumors, Postules, &c., are
as familiar to him as the most common things of daily observation.
The Doctor effects a cure in recent cases in a few days,
and finds no difficulty in curing those of a long duration,
without submitting the patient to such treatment as will
draw upon him the slightest suspicion, or oblige him to
neglect his business whether within doors or without.—
The diet need not be changed except in eases of severe inflamation. There are in California patients (amounting to
over two thousand in the past year) that could furnish
proot of this; but these are matters that require the nicest
weet which he always preserves.
All letters enclosing $10, will be promtly attended to.—

MPORTANT TO FEMALES.—WHEN A
female is in trouble or affiicted with disease, and requires medical or surgical aid, the inquiry should be where
is there a physician who is fully competent to administer
relief, one whose knowledge of the female system is perfect,
and who thoroughly understands the application of medicine to disease, and whose scientific attainments in surgery have made him pre-eminentin his profession, and
whose respectable standing in society, recommends him
to the confidence of the community. Unless these, and
many more questions can be satisfactorily answered, the
afflicted should pause before consulting any one. Considering these things in their true light, the celebrated J. C.
YOUNG, corner of Montgomery and California streets, has
concluded to advertise his place of business to the public,
stating that he has been a professor of obstetrics and female diseases for the last fourteen years, and is fully qualified to administer in all diseases, both medically and surgically, not in a superficial manner, but in as thorough a
manner as years of study and practice—both in hospitals
and private families, can make : therefore, families can
rely upon himas a father. All in affliction can findin him
one who can sympathize with, and befriend them in trouble, one in whose secrecy the utmost confidence can be
placed. Come all ye that are afflicted and in trouble, and
you will be relieved or cured. Apartments privately ararranged so as to preclude the possibility of exposure,
N. B.—All letters inclosing $10 will receive prompt attention, and the best advice and instruction.

ONSTITUTIONAL DEBILIFY,OR SEMInal weakness—Dr. J. C. YOUNG addresses those who
have injured themselves by private and improper indulgences in that secret and solitary habit, which ruins the body
and mind, unfitting them for either business or society.
The following are some of the sad and melancholy effects
produced by the early habit of youth, wiz : Weakness of
the back and limbs, pain in the head, dyspepsia, nervousness, irritability, symptoms of consumption &c.
MENTALLY, the fearful effects on the mind are more to
be dreaded. Loss of memory, confusion of ideas, depression of spirits, evil forebodings, aversion of society, selfdistrust, love of solitude, timidity, &c., are some of the
evils produced,
All persons who are afflicted with any of the above symptoms should not fail to call on Dr. Young and be at once
restored to perfect health, Let no false delicacy prevent
you, but apply immediately, and save yourself from the
dreadful and awful consequetces of this terrible malady.—
Weakness of the organs immeeiately cured, and full vigor
restored,
DR. J. C. YOUNG,
Corner of California and Montgomery sts, up stairs.
AVE CONFIDENCE.—Dr. YOUNG will
, guarantee a perfect and permanent cure in thefollowing cases, or charge nothing for his services : Syphilis, Gonorrhoea, Strictures of the Uretha, affection of the Prostrate
Gland, Weakness of the Genital Organs, Impotency, Sterility, both in male and female, Spermatoria, or Seminal
Weakness, Nocturnal Enrissions, Rheumatism, Dyspepsia,
Indigestion, Fever and Ague, Incipient Consumption, and
all irregularities in females; together with all diseases of
Women and Children; also Nervousness, Palpitation of the

ersons affected with symptoms after being treated
should consult Dr. Young at once, as no Pree is cured
unless the patient feels perfectly well. If there is a particle of disease left in the system, it will break out at some
future time, when least expected, or be handed down to
the innocent offspring. Persons who have been treated
with mercury should be very cautious im believing that
they are well, for it is a scientific fact that the mercury
will mingle with the venereal, and form a disease a great
deal worse than the original. All those who have reason
to think, by bad feelings, that they have thus been treated
should consult Dr. YounG, and he willexamime theireaees .

APPEAL OF THE LADIES’
MOUNT VERNON ASSOCIATION,
TO THE
People of the State of California.
recent appointment by Miss Ann Pamela Cunningham, Regent of the *‘Mount Vernon Ladies’ Asrociation of the Union,’? has devolved on the undersigned,
the duty and the privilege of placing before the people of
this State, the purposes of the Association.
An Act of Incorporation from the State of Virginia authorizes the Association ‘‘to purchase, hold and improve
two hundred acres of Mount Vernon, including the mansion as well as the tomb of George Washington,”’ and to
receive a deed in fee simple, and to exercise full power
over the use and management of the same.
Under this charter, a constitution has been adopted,
which vests the power of management ina Regent and
Vice Regents, selected one from each State of the Union.
In April, 1858, under the advice of legal gentlemen, @
contract was executed for the purchase of Mount Vernon
for $200,000, of which $18,000 was to be paid cash, $57,000
on the Ist January, 1859, and the balance in three equal
instalments of $41,666 66 each, with interest from the
date of the contract, payable on 22d February, 1860,
1861, 1862.
Until payment in full, the proprietor is to retain pessession, but such payment may be made at any time.
The cash payment was made, and the gratifying intelligence has lately reached us that the instalment of $57,000
was duly met ; thus securing the contract, which allows
payments to be made, in sums not less than $5,000, as
soon as collected, thereby arresting the accrual of interest.
All etforts, therefore, are now turned to the collection of
funds for the payment of the deferred instalments at the
earliest possible day. ic aaiges saving a large amount of
interest, and realizing the cherished hope of at once obtaining possession of Mount Vernon.
To this noble cause, the Women of the Union, deserting
for a season the seclusion of domestic life, have brought
their talents andall their energies. Amidst the discord of
sectional strife, they bid us gather around the tomb of
Washington as children of a common heritage, there recall his moderation of spirit and pure patriotism, and lay
to heart the solemn warnings of his last public words.
They know, that standing on that hallowed spot, the pilgrims gathered from the wide expanse of the Republic,
can feel but one sentiment—reverence for his teachings,
and devotion to the Union he so loved,
Men of high station and intellect-—among whom Everett
stands pre-eminent—are lending their influence and their
eloquence to the cause. In twenty-one States of the
Union, the good work goes bravely on, and California ts
now invited to do her part. Youngest of her sisters, she
yields to none in reverence for the name of Washington
and devotion to the Union, A»simated then by these sentiments and by a just State pride, let her people brin
their offerings to this common altar of patriotism. Shall
the gold of her glittering soil be poured alone into the lap
of Commerce, and none be devoted to preserve and guard
with sacred care the Groves of Mount Vernon? Let allt
then vie in generous rivalry, to show that California lacks
not the heart to sympathize, nor the hand to help in this
work of patriotism. P
To the Women of California, this appeal is especially
made. Your Sisters of the East have assumed this honorable duty and claim your zealous co-operation. Our
State will do her part liberally, if you resolutely take the
matter in hand. On you, therefore, will it depend whether she shall respond to the call.
Although contributions to any amount are solicited. yet
the price of membership is but one dollar. Concerted an
systematic action, therefore, must be adopted to canyas®
the State from the Sierras’ to the Pacific. The duty of
such organization devolves on the Vice Regent, and she
roposes the following plan as simple and also effective,
if seconded by your hearty co-operation. 1
Lady Managers will be selected, one or more for be
city, town, village and mining camp in the State, wi
appoint Assistants, issuing to them lentials authorizing them to receive contributions and enroll mem é
These assistants will report monthly to the Lady Manage
