Since 'he conviction of the Black Doctor, M. de Vrios, and bis condemnation to fifteen months imprisonment, and a fine of five hun dred francs on a charge of quackery and swindling, the French papers have been filled with anecdote about his caroer. The following, tald under date of January 13 by the special Paris correspondent of the Independence Beige, will doubtless prove highly entertaining to our Philadelphia readers, as it particularly concerns a young and beautiful lady now t resident of the Qnaker City. ' " ... Mile. Alpbonsina de Virze,. daughter of a rich landholder of Burgundy, was attacked by cancer in her right breast. All the physi-eitns'.in her departmont, and all those of MontpellirT. had abandoned her ease in despair, and advtad her fo tome to Paris for treatment.. M. de Vire brought his daughter to Ferin io the month of January 1868. She consulted the most celebrated physicians of the faculty, who all gate but one opinion the amputation of the right breast was absolutely necessary, and evea at this sacrifice the unhappy young lady would only retard an Inevitable doath according to the doctors. Six months were wasted in ruinous and useless consultations, in inefficacious treatment and despair. Pain the fair young creature did not not fear. Without exactly being an Amazon, Mile, de Vlrzo would have oonsented to sacrifice that portion of her charms bo inconvenient to retain, in javelin practice, hud it not been that she was in love. She was' engaged to a young American who was exceedingly devoted to her, and she preferred to die rather than submit to an operation that might make her an object of horror to her beloved. So she resigned herself to death, and renounced all treatment.-"' Sbut up alone in her apartmont, she counted her last days and passed them in prayor." Moaqwbiio, her fiancee, Jtr. Arthur Ashboll of Philadelphia, who had a commission from one of his-irieads to procure him some Sax-horns' for the United" States mar ket, went to M. Sax's house tto attend to the business. . Although suffering horribly, having already a monstrous tumor on his lip, M. Sax received Mr. Ashbell. The affair of the Sax-horns being over, Mr. Ashbell inquired concerning M. Sax' affliction, and took, a lively interest in it as soon as be learned that the famous artist was suffering from a cancer. Surprised at the constancy and courage of M-Sax, he asked the reason. "I am brave," replied Sax, "because a man can suffer all things ; I am not discouraged, because I hope to recover." . . "Then the physicians have not abandoned Oh I" said Sax, "tho doctors 1 I should e been dead already if I had not abandon- thera." .. ',. . 'What treatment have you then ?''

"Then ycu give mo twelve thousand five hundred francs; six thousand when.mo begin the rest after the cure." "It is a bargain," said the father. "Me want make photograph of Mlle.'s r.reitst," was tho next demand of the Doctor. "What lor ?" "To show the physicians who will deny that mo cure her." - . "My dear Doctor," said Ashbell, "I have also an income of twenty-five thousand francs, upon which we will base your fee. You shall thus have twenty-five thousand instead of twolve thousand five hundred francs ; but I impose one condition." "What is that?" "You shall not mako any reputation out of thesufforings of Mile, de Virzo. You shall cure her modestly. You shall make her cancer disappear without any more talk about it than if it were asimplo heaeache," "That hard condition for me" "Well ?" "Well, I agree. You give twenty-five thousand francs if me cure her, and me say nothing lo nobody." From the month of November to January, Alphonsine de Yirze followed the treatment of the Black Doctor. In the middle of January the disease suddenly took a frightful activity and development. The wretched woman suffered the pangs of martyrdom, hut suffered without complaining; she hoped. On tbe 11th of January, the same phenomena manifested themselves in the case of Bllle.de Yirze as in that of M. Six. Tbe tumor became terribly inflamed, burst, and fell off. At the close of the same month, Mile, de Yirzo was completely cured. Not a single traco of the discbso remained. Nothing but the recollection of her Bufferings was left, llor waist, bcr throat, bar shoulders had not suffered the slightest alteration. On the 15th of February, Mile, de Virzo having returned to bcr provincial home, married Arthur Ashbell.In July she sailed for the United States, where she now resides. She is cured, perfectly cured, and believes herself cured, as the prosecutor would say. I give you the full name of this young woman stved by the Black Doctor, for in Taris five hundred per sons know all about Ashbell and hli fiancee As to this poor Tries, you must confess that for. a man accused of swindling he has eon- ducted himself with much honor in notspeak- ing even to bis counsel of the cure of Mile de Virze.

"Me could not," he replied, ,!you know me promise M. Ashbell to hold my tongue." The same correspondent telle also ine rot- lowine storr of tbe Black Doctor. In the rue Charon ne, he cured a poor little sale-woman f a eeoeef in the brst.;Whii at the end of four months the woman came all trembling to ask for bis bill, be repliod,"It is fivo hundred francs that I " "Lord 1" exclaimed the poor woman, "five hundred francs t Where do you Jhink I am to find them, my worthy doctor ? I could not earn them in a year." "Lot me finish," said ho "it is five hun dred francs that I am to give you in behalf of a very rich man, in order that you may not resume your labor too soon, for that womd cause you to fall sick again." Philadelphia Bulletin. Tho Seige of Alesia. After a conflict of ten years the Gauls suc cumbed, and their last struggle in the strong hold of Alesia is thus (Inscribed,: . . . , . This siege of Alesia impresses the reador not only as the most spirited, lot as the most fearfully picturesque of all the enterprises of this ton yeais war. A rocky peak rising in tha midst of glorious mountain ranges is de fended by eighty thousand of the flower of Gallic chivalry, and besieged at the feet by ten victorious legions, he skilled and veteran forcos ol the first commander of his age. Far around strqtch the enormous circumvallations of the Romans, furnished with every means of defense and destruction which ltoraan in genuity, in the exercise ot centuries, naa oeen able to invent. From time to time, the eager occupants of the hill rush down to dislodge the beleaguers, whose gigantic works are fast imprisoning them within their stony citadel hut as often thtv are-driven back to their holds with fea'ful carnage. A single com pany of horsemen alone is able to issue forth and spread itself among the neighboring tribes to summon every fighting man of the country to tho assistance of its bravo and last uefend ers. Yet the work of assault without, of fam. ine within, steadily proceeds. .Already .the Gauls are reduced to the extremity of debat ing whether they shall eat their old and disabled men,.or cast them beyond the walls, as a horrible alternative of economizing supplies' The last opinion prevails,' and the old m9n tha wnmon. the children, the diseased, are thrust forth, in largo numbers, to dio. Creep ing toward the Roman turrets, thoy beg for succor, beg for corn, beg to be carried into slavery, beg for any fate, rathor than to be nhnnrlnned to tho miseries of starvation. But the Romans steel themselves to their appeals, as thoir countrymen had steeled themselves before, and they are left to perish wrotehedly in the tight of either camp. A shout of joy however, reaches thoir dying ears, as it rings from the hights of Alesia and re-echoe3 among the mountains, for the besieged, have caught the first glimpses of tho multitudinous hosts of Gaul advancing to their rescue. Two hun dred and fifty thousand warriors, led, by the ablest chiefs of all the clans, pour along the plains and dash against the Roman walls. Gaul and Rome ore mot for their last deadly encounter. For three days and nights, with the briefest intervals of repose, tho tide of bat tie sways from one sido to the other, with al ternate shouts of exultation and despair. The creat commandor of the Romans flics in his n.,r'nl mba from line to line, exhorting his -1 - . men, and proclaiming that lor him and them that day everything is to be gained or every thing lost. Patriotism, valor, despair, drive the Gauls to superhuman efforts. Moro than once they penetrate to tho very petorium of the Roman camp, and more than once they raise the shout of victory, but, alasl victory is not for them ; a sudden movement of Cses, ar's lieutenants and a tremendous charge of the German cavalry puts thom to rout, and in their flight, they are unsparingly cut to pieces sn that " in a little while." sars Plutarch "that immense army is' vanished like i dream." Sorrowfully tbe remnant of the brave de fenders of the town withdraws within its walls, and is about to appoint envoys to go to Ctosar to negotiate the terms of peace. The Vircingetorigh, whose hopes are now witheredf magnanimously offers to surrender himself as the ransom of his people. Cmsar, less mag nanimous, demands the surrender of all. Ap- pircling himself then in all tho gay armor of his rank, and mounting his splendidly-capar- isoned steed, the Gallic chieftain gallops to where Csesar is sitting on his tribunal in the midst of his camp; he dismounts, and casts his sword and his casque at the feet of tho con. querer without uttering a word. In that net we behold the final submission or (raul to tbe proud mistress of the nations. Six years la. tor the Vercingetorigh will be drawn Irom tho dungeons of Rjme to grace the multiple triumph of the great dictator, master of Rome, and " foremost man of all tbe world."

A dog isn't a touch to her She can smooth your linen and your cares lor you ; mend your trousers, and chango your manners ; sweeten sour moments, as well as your tea and coffee ; ruffle, perhaps, your shirt bosom, but not your temper ; and instead of sowing the seeds of sorrow in your path, she will sew buttons on your shirt, and plant happiness instoad of harrow teeth, in your bosom. Yes 1 and if you are too confounded lazy, or too proud, to do such work yourself, she will carry swill to the hogs, chop wood, and dig potatoes for dinner. Her love for her husband is such that she will do anything to please him except to receive company in her every-day clothes. Get married, I repeat, you must. Concentrate your affections upon one object, and don't distribute them, crumb by crumb, amongst a host of Susans, Marias, Elizas, Betseys, Peggys, Dorothies, allowing each scarcely enough to nibble at. Get married, I repeat, you must.

Looking over Allison's History of Europe, from tho commencement of the French Revolution until the restoration of the Napoleon dynasty In 1852 a work whish, despite its Tory bias, is a reportory of valuablo facts, political and personal we were impressed with tho idea of tho mutability of politics in Paris. On a hasty thought, who would believe that all the great events in France, from the Revolution of 1789 to the close of tho Italian War in 1859, took place within the limited period of seventy years ? This includes the destruc-of tho French Monarchy, the first Republic, the rise, progress and fall of Napoleon, the restoration of the Bourbons, the return from Elba, and Imperial rule of the Hundred Days, the second return of the Bourbons, the imprisonment and death of Napoleon, the accession and deposition of Charles the Tenth , the "glorious Throe Days of July," tho riso of Louis Philippe to the French throne as Lafayette's " best of Republics," the Revolution of 1848 and exilo of tho Orleans family, the second R:publio-with Lamartine's brief ascendency the election ol Louis Napoleon to the Presidency, the coup d' elat of 1851, the restoration of tho Empire, the entente cordiale with England, the visits of Napoleon to London and of Victoria to Paris, tbo Crimean War, and the recent contest of 1856, which aimod at making Italy Iree " from the Alps to the Appe-nines."We shall gratify historical students, if not general readers, by condensing into a very limited spece, the annals of the fourteen different changes of Government which France, has experienced in the seventy years between 1789 and 1859 a period which is in the memory of numeroui living persons : . 11 Louis XVI, and the Assemblies.

Here, then, in a few lines, is the history of Government in France during the last seventy years. What future changes may take place no ono can prophesy, but the moral of the Past is that, in France, nothing is stable except j nstability.--.Fimf- Press. Bedding for Cattle. The importance of this is conceded for the horse, and most human owners provide straw or refuse hay to put the nag at bis ease when he lies down in his stable. It is quite as important for all tbe ruminant animals that we have domesticated. Instinct prompts them to seek the dryest, warmest spot it the pasture for their repose, and nature spreads for them the soft, green turf, quite as much for their rest as for their sustenance. ' Bedding favors the accumulation of fat and muscle, by helping to retain the animal heat and promoting quiet and comfort. It also promotes the secretion of milk in cows, for tbe same reasons, Any one can satisfy himself on this point, by experimenting with a cow a week in a well bedded stable, and a second week upon the bare ground in the barn-yard. Cows in milk are kept much cleaner with a good bed, and this is an item of much importance, with all who love clean milk. Quite a variety of substances are used for bedding Straw and hay are the most common, as they are the most convenient, especially to farm ers who raiso grain largely or who have a good deal of swamp land, yielding sour hay. In cities and villages they are often too cosf ly, and this has led to various substitutes some ot them quite as good as straw, and having this advantage, that they add very much to the manure heap. Dry saw-dust, from saw and shing'.o mills, all make good bedding. Spent tan-bark, when dried in tbe sun, also serves the same purpose, and makes a much more valuable manure. . Eyegrass is also much used for this purpose, by tbe seashore farmers, and answers irell. Leaves from the forost, especially those of bard wood trees, make a still belter bed, and form one o' tbo best composts for the garden or fields. Dried t or f from a salt marsh, ia, on the wholo, the best bedding we have ever ured in our stable. It is cut in summer, in blocks of about a cubic foot each, dried in tbe sua a few weeks, and then stored under cover for use. It , is very light, spongy, and absorbs urine better than anything we have ever tried. A layer of it under a horse will last about two weeks before it is saturated. , It it then thrown into the barn cellar to undergo fermentation.One great advantage of this, and of the saw dust and tan t ark Is, that they put tbe ani mat heat of tbe stock to) economic use. It prompts the decomposition of the vegita. bU matter, and swells the manure heap rap idly. strri'fon Jjriatllurahsl. Mr. Corwin's Speech. We have-not yet seen a full rrpnrt of the great speech of Mr. Conwm, but find the following extract, which we give as a simple : There hail been a controversy as to the Bi ble, but he warned - gentleman both of t'.ie North and the South that argument were to bo found flit the Bible in suppoit of both sides the question. - But that good pi J book he feared had very little to do with the organiza-tion of this llouse. This nation covered only about one-tenth ol this poor little dog-kennel of a world, as astronomers wonld regard it, and yet they seemed to think that all creation dopended npon the election of John Sherman' to stand up in that chair, like " the woodpeck. er tapping a'hollow beech tree." Laughter He hoped for Ood'ssnke gentlemen were not going to dissolve the Union about the Bible. There was ho doubt that some of the patri archs held slaves as property. II a gar and her boys-were unquestionably sont into the desert -i" their master, in order to- avo'd trouble in tbe family, with a loaf of bread and a bottle of water, which were rather poor provisions for a journey to Canada. The angel of the Lord who came to Ilagar in her distress. told her she was in very bad circumstances, but bade her not to be discouraged, but pick up her boy again and hold hira in her hands- he was destined to be a great filibuster. Laughter.) The angel told her further that she had better go back to her master, end be supposed if William Lloyd Garrison or Wendell Phillips had been that angel she would be advised to take her boy and make tracks for Canada. Laughter. The very Abra ham who was the father of that boy had anoth er family, which was afterwards sold Into slavery and stayed there 470 years, at the end of which the Almighty repealod the fu gitive slave bill, and they left the land of Egypt. Laughter. Tbe Bible taught plainly that the institutions of Government are to be obeyed by all good citizens. In a country like ours especial ly, where every man has a voice hi making ibe laws, they ought lo yield a ready obedi ence to the laws, and that he claimed was the doctrines of tbe Republican party, 'ne re ferred to the theory of the races springing from the children of Noah. He thought it singular that tho grand-children of the tame progenitor should suffer so widely in appear ance, but if the theory were correct we must admit that the negro is our cousin, and we ought to treat him like a gentleman. ' His colleague (Mr. Cox) had spoken of meeting of Republicans in Ohio, and with the qomic power so-characteristic of that rising young man, he imitated the nasal twang of those Yankees on the Reserve who joined in singing the Marseilles. No doubt it sounded ridiculous to him. So the same nasaj twag sounded ridiculous to the army of Prince Rupert when the ancestors of those very mon at Marston Moor marched into battle with the mailed chivalry of England. When Cromwell wheeled the iron regiment of Puritans into battle, tho same nasal twag rang out at that time. " The s-w-a-r-d ol the L-a-r-d and of Gideon," laughter, and Tiince Rupert and bis chivalry was overthrown. These wero the men who established civil liberty in England, brought it to this land, and defended i at Bunker Hill, as they would do agin U necessary. It was a hard matter to deal with men who believe that God Almighty encamps around about them with his angels. Thejman who believes that he meets face to face with Jehovah had better not be troubled much in peace or in war. Extracts fromWashington'a Farewell Address'to his Count: Jrmea. The unity of government, which constitutes you one people, is also now dear to you. It is justly so ; for it is a main pillar in the .diflce of your real independeno ; the sup port of your tranquility at home, your pence abroad ; of your salety ; of that very liberty which yon so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that from different causes and from different quarters much pains will bo laken many artifices employed, to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth j as this is the point in your political fortress against which the batteries of internal and external enemies will be most constantly, actively (though often covertly and insidiously) di rected, it is of infinite moment that you should properly estimate tho immense value of your national union, to your collective and individual happiness , that yon should cherish a cordial, habitual and immovable attach ment to it accustoming yourselves to think and speak of it as the palladium of your po litkal safety and prosperity ; watching for its preservation with jealous anxiety; discountenancing lehalevsr may suggest even a swptcion that it can, in any event- be abandoned; and indignantly frovming upon the first daumwg of every attempt to alienate any portion of our country from the rest, or to enfeeble the cred ties which now link together the varioo8 parts. For this yoa hate every inducement of sympathy and intorest. Citizens by birth or choice, if a common coontry, that country has a right to concentrate your affectionr The nime of American which belongs to you In your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of patriotism, more- than any appellation derived from local discriminations. With slight shades of difference, yon have tbe same religion, manner, habits, a. id political principles. Yon have in a common cause, fooghtand triumphed together ; the independence and liberty yoa possess are the work of joint councils and joint efforts, of common dangers, suffering and success. But these considerations, however powerfully they address tbes9evos to your sensi bility, are greatly outweighed by those which spply more immediate to interest ; here every portion ol bur country finds the most eom- ' mending motives for carefully guarding and ' preserving the union of the whole. . The power end the right of the people to . , establish government presupposes the duty of every individual to ebey the established gov- ernment. All obstructions to the execution of th. laws, all combinations and associations, under( ' whatever plausible character, with th res' design to direct, control,counteract or awe the ' regular deliberation and action of the const!- ' tuted authorities, are destructive of this fundamental principle and of fatal tendency.- Thoy serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force, to put in the phtce of the delegated' will of the natimr the will of a. party, often a small but artful , and enterprising minority of the community,, and according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the ill -concerted and incongruous projects of taction, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans, digested by common councils, and modified by natural interests. ReceI-tios of Volunteer. Officers Bf Queen Victoria A Novel Point of Coubi1 Etiquet. The little leading, type paragraph in to-day's Times on the subject of the reception of volunteer officers by the Queen, marks the settlement of what deserves to be called tbe great Court question of the day, yiz What is to be done should the officers of volunteer corps claim to be presented at the Queen's levees, and their wives at the draw-' ing rooms ? It is not a question of rank to much as one of room and time, and regard ' for tbe royal comfort and capacity of endur ance. Thero are, or soon will be, some thirty thousand of these offbeis, and supposing . one-half of them anxious for the honor of kissing her Majesty's band, the Lord Chamberlain would be puzzled where to find room for the crowd, and the Queen would suffer martyrdom from the fatigue of the ceremonial It is no joke to hold out a hand to be kissed by thousands. Il is not so long agoslnco'the ' President of the United States narrowly es- . capod loosing an arm owing to an abscess, supposed to have been Caused, or irritated to extra mischief, by the handshaking at one of his mob levees at the White House. At tbe same time there was the greatest reluctance to interpose any barrier between the volunteers and the gratidcation.oC.their. loyal aspfratl.onf. for a kiss of the royal hand., The difficulty has formed the subject of many and anxious counsels at tho Lord Chamberlaih's traSerUnd at the mysterious institution the Board o Green Cloth. Tbe solution now hit upon the holding of a separate levee for volunteers is considered a master g'.roke of ceremon al iivention, and the Lord Chamberlain draws freer breath. Her Majesty, too, will sleep all the sounder for her escape from tbe threatened avalanche of loyal defenders of the crown and realm upon the already crowded space of the reception rooms at St James. Tbe Mayor wants to Sis Thek. k young roan, a nephew, had been to sea ; and on his return, he was narrating to his unci an adventure which he had met on board ship. "I was one night loaning over the taffrait looking down into the mighty ocean," said the nephew, whom we will call William f ''when my gold watch fell from my fob and immediately sunk out of sight. The vessel was going ten knots an hour; but nothing daunted, I sprung over the rail, down, down, and, after a long search, found it, came np cloae under the stern, and climed back to the deck, without any one knowing I bad been absent." "Williom," said bis uncle, slightly elevaU ing his broad brim, and opening his eyes to their widest capacity, "how fast did thee say tbe vessel was going ?" " Ten knots, uncle." ' And thee expects me to believe the sto ry ? ' " Of course 1 You wouldn't dream of call' ing me a liar, would you, uncle 7" "William," replied the nncle, gTavely, "thee knows I never call anybody names but, William, if tho Mayor ol tbe city were to come to me, and say, ' Josiah, 1 want the to find tbe biggest liar in all Philadelphia,' I would come straight to thee, and pot my hand en thy shoulder, and say to thee, William, the Ilayor wants thee." fcT The hireling papers of tbe Administra tionthe Constitution and Pennsylvania n. are afflicted in a frightful way at the election of Col. John W. Forney, as Clerk of the Hons of Representatives. Those papers reflect th agony of thrir master, who ladles out the corruption fund to them. The fact is, on great inducement the Republicans of tbe House bad, to elect Forney, wm the piercing anguish the knew this triumph would give the President. Col. Forney himself said be particularly de sired the eleetion, because it would be on . pleasant to his old friend James Buchanan.
