SIMPSON, Louisville, ICy. A TORPID LIVER is the fruitful source of many diseases, such as Dyspepsia, Sick Headache, Costiveness, Dysentery, Bilious Fever, Ague and Fever, Jaundice, Piles, Rheumatism, Kidney Complaint, Colic, etc. Tutt's Pills exert a powerful influence on the Liver, and will with certainty relieve that important organ from disease, and restore its normal functions. The rapidity with which persons take on flesh . while under the influence of these pi'ls, of it.H-ii indicates their adaptability to nourish the body, hence their efficacy in curing nervous debility, dyspepsia, wasting of the muscles, sluggishness of the liver.chronic constipation, and imparling health and strength to the system. t CONSTIPATION. il Only with regularity of the bowels can perfect health be enjoyed. When the constipation is of recent date, a single do?e of TUTT'S PILLS will suffice, but if it has become habitual, one (?ill should be taken every night, gradually lessen: >t ? the frequency of the "tlo-e until a regular daily it;. ??riieiit is obtained, which will eoon follow.

FA THICK KELLEY, I 14 MmlnUtrittr, MIELBl (III Mi IIEN6tft.1T. Island. This small and rock-bound island, only seven miles in circumference, 'is. ?< all p'eces of land on t lie globe, fartherest removed from tlw gml continent*. It will l? louiid in or about latitude 25? south of the equator, and longitude 130? west of Greenwich, luiiif; nearly bait way across tin widest of ocean spaces, between Australia and .South America, and some distance m utheast of tbe Society Islands Tbe island was discoveied bv Captain Carteret iri 1707, and named after one of bis officers called Piteairn, wbo was tbe first to call attention to it. A singular interest attaches to Piteairn island from the dark 10mame connected with its settlement by tbe mutineeis of the Engl'sb ship Bounty in 1700. This vessel had been sent out to the island of Tahiti for the purpose of collecting bread fruit trees, which it was proposed to introduce into the West Indies. On the voyage out the crew suffered much from inhuman treatment at the hands of the commander, Lieutenant Biigh, ot '.lie Royal Navy ; but the mutiny did net take place until tbe ship had secured her cargo and was about to return home. On the 28th of April, 1789, the vessel was taken possession ot by Fletcher Christian, the mate, who, with a number of followers, forced his superior officer. together with eighteen companions, into a iauch, set them adrift, and turned the ship's head toward the island of Toubouai. Here they bad determined to land ; but the natives presented so savage an aspect that Christian decided to go back to Tahita. In spite, however, eif the impression produced in the first instance by tiie natives of Toubouai, it was on this island that the mutineers first attempted to form a settlement. Land was purchased from the chief of tbe tribes, and a fort was in process of construction, when (juarrels ensued, and a part of tbe white men demanded that Christian should take them back to Tahiti. This was done : but the leader of the mutineers, knowing that lie was not safe at a point which wopld first of all attract the English ship that must certainly be ;ent outfor the Bounty, determined Lo seek refuge in some one of tbe more remote islands. Right only )t the men he had leel into crime letermined to accompany him. With these, however, there was a i'oung Toubouaian chief and his wo friends, who had become so bnd of Christian that they would lot leave him. Three Tahitian nen, with their wives, also joined he party, and one of the women ook with her her infant daughter en mortbsold. In all, twenty-eight jcrsons determined to follow the 'ortuncs of Christian. It has been ascertained that a opy oi Captain Carteret's voyage o the Souih Seas was among the ooks left on board tbe Bounty, nd this volume, describirg the unelincss of Piteairn Island, probbly determined Christian to search or it as a safe retreat for himself nd his followers. From a want of orreetness in the latitude and Ion itude indicated by the original liscoverers, the cruise occupied everal weeks. When it had begun 0 appear hopeless, a distant rock ias descried rising abruptly in the niddle of the ocean.

This event took place .Tan ary 211, 1 7'J0. For twenty years the mystery hat hung over the fate of the iounly and her mutinous crew renamed unsolved. From the time ,( their leaving Tahiti nothing had ieen heard of them, and the first idings came when an American, 'aptain Folger. touched at Pitaim Island in 180S, and on his reurn ho reported his discovery to he English government. It had ieen impossible for concord to exit among such desperate eharacers as the mutineers, and in the onrse of ten years from the time f their arrival on the island all he Tahiiian nn n, all the sailors, nth the exception of one Alexank-r Smith, who subsequently ban. red bis name to John Adams, nd several of the women, bad died 1 violence or disease. In Seplem- j icr, 181-t. an English vessel called he Britain stopped at the island, net found Adams still alive and commanding the respect and admiation of the whole little colony by lis exemplary conduct and fatherly are of them. Solitude bnd wrought i powerful change in Adams, and lis desire to instill into the young ninds of the descendants of his old lompanions, who. like himself, had aken wives from among the Tahiian women, a correct sense of reigion, bad been crowned with compete success. According to the tatement of the captain of tbe Britain, a more virtuous, amiable j ind religious community than these slanders have never been seen. 1'hey were also visited by other English vessels, ar.el tbe reports ?onccrninp them fully corroborated ? 4 he first reports In 1830 the colony consisted of jighty -seven persons, when a long Irought, together with a bad sea?on for the'r plantations, gave rise 0 fears that they might bo overaken by famiue. It had long been 1 matter ol grave consideration hat, as their numbers increased, be want of water would bo scverey felt, and in consequence a pro posal was made to tlio islanders by , the Hritish government to remove j them to 'I ahiti. This proposal was I m duo course submitted to Queen j Pomarc, who seconded it with | i*reat zeal, and agreed to receivo them into her dominions. Early in j March, 1831, they all embarked in , the Sarah Anne, and arrived at Ta! hiti on the 21st of the same month. A tract of rich land was assigned fo them by the queen, and the Tahitians assisted in collecting wood, and also in constructing houses for their new friends, whom they looked ubon as relatives. One old won.aii came from a distance to recog liizo a long lost sister in one ol the surviving women who had left Tahiti in tho Bounty. A few months, however, at Tahiti convinced the Pitcairn Islanders that they could ^ not ho happy in their new homo. I Their simple austere mode ol life and their rectitude of conduct rendered the licentious and lax morality of the Tahitians most repugnant to the Pitcairn people; and, notwithstanding the kind hospitality shown them, especially by the queen, they determined, if even at their own expense, to return to their beloved island home. This was i'one in September of the same year, an American brig conveying the little party back to Pitcairn. ^ine years later tho islanders were visited by Captain Elliot, of the English ship Fly, when they begged to be taken under the protection of Great Britain, on account of the annoyances to which they had been subjected by the lawless crews of some whale ships which had called at the island. Accordingiy Captain lilliot took possession of Pitcairn in the name of her Majesty, tho Queen of England, gave them a ' union jack,'' and rec ognized their self elected magistrate as the responsible Governor. He also drew up for them a code of laws, some of which are very amusing from the subjects of which they treat. The code, however, has been of much service to the simplo islanders. Not long after thev became British subjects the inhabitants of Pitcairn began to be distressed about their old difficulty ? the inability of the island to support their increasing numbers. They appealed to their English rulers to make some provision for them, and when Norfolk Island, which is situated in the West Pacific, seven or eight hundred miles from Australia, had ceased to be a convicts' penal station, her Majesty s government allowed the Pitcairn Islanders to emigrate thither. In 1859 two families returned to Pitcairn Island, the heads of which were William and Moses Young, two cousins, aged thirty-three and thirty years. The oldest member of the party was Wm. Young's wife, thirty-nine years old, and formerly tho wife of Philip M'Koy. Her children by her first husband swelled the number of emigrants to seventeen, the proportion of the thirteen children being ten girls to three boys. When asked their reason for leaving Norfolk Island, they pleaded the health of their wives, with whom the severe weather of tho latter place did not agree. They further added that they did not consider Norfolk Island as their own ; that no one could be kinder than the Governor of New South Wales, of whom they spoke with great respect ; but that a schoolmaster and a miller had been placed among them who were not of them, the schooltnaater having charge of the sheep on the island, which they had.bcen led to believe would have been their own properly ; and that some sappers and miners, with their wives and families, had also been quartered on the island : that their own magistrates. formerly only responsible to the people themselves, were now held responsible by tho government (or the performance of certain obligations by the people; that altogether they found it was so different from the life ol freedom and irresponsibility, to all but themselves and their elected magistrates, they had led at Pitcairn, that they had a longing to be back to the island, where nobody could interfere with them, however good and kind the intention, and how ever necessary, perhaps, the interference.in 1871 these two families were joined by several others from Norfolk Island, and the present population of Pitcairn numbers about fifty persons, among whom is Elizabeth George, eighty-eight years of age, a daughter of one of nine original mutineers vho reached the island in 1 700. A grandson of Fletcher Christian is also thore. The small community is said to be healthy, moral and religious ; they are governed bv a magistrate and chief ruler in subordination to her Majesty, the Queen of England, ! whose duties are merely nominal, for no case of crime of any kind ? and the use of profane language is clashed among the criminal acts ? has occurred for many years The name of the present holder of the office is .1.

Being vis i ted only by chanco passing vessels, perhaps not half a dozen times in tho year, the islanders are of course entirely dependent on their own resources. From their occasional intercourse with Europeans, the Pitcairn Islanders have, while retain- j ing their virtuous simplicity of character and cheerful, hospitable disposition, acquired the manners and polish of civilized life, with its education and taste. They are pas- i sionatelv fond of music and dancing, the latter characteristic being i evidently a legacy from their ma- 1 ternal ancestry.

' The Poor of New York. There are many and munificent charities in New York city for ju veniles; but when bix or seven thousand children are in a single year committed to prison and reformatories of the city, it becomes a question of great importance to the whole community. What is the root of this growingevif? This excess of juvenile crime seems to be the result, so far as it may be referred to any one cause, of a want el homes. In thousands of our tenement houses there can be no true home for a child; the wretched over-crowded rooms are less attractive than by-ways and alleys, and the boys and girls drift into the streets, lodging where they may, mingling with the worst criminals, and soon become confirmed vagrants. There are now about 21,000 tenements in New York, in which 500,000 persons live. Meetings of citizens have been recently held for tho purpose of bringing before the community the evils ? of which juvenile crime is but one of the existing tenement house system, and of instituting measures of reform. Many fearful facts have been made public showing the wretched condition of the tenement poor. For example : One tenement house was found to have thirty-two perfectly dark rooms, many rooms were wholly underground, and were found filled with men and women, all intoxicated. In one block in this city there are 52 tone ment houses, occupied by 589 families, comprising 235G persons. Many tenements arc damp and mouldy and filled with the germs of pestilenco, and hundreds of them show not tho least evidence of any attempt at cleanliness. What wonder that these damp, unveutilated, sunless abodes are nurseries of crime, hot-beds of malarial and contagious diseases? A committee of prominent citizens has been recently appointed to devise measures to effect reform in tenement houses, and their names arc such as to give assurance of some practical result. Wo also understand thaf a number of philanthropic ladies have interested themselves in this very important matter, and that several existing tenemonts have been leased by them for the purpose of improvement. In addition, money is being raised for the construction of a block of model tenements. When something like a homo awaits the poor and tempted, there will be more hope of keeping them from crime. Ancient Burying (<roiiml. An ancient Indian burial ground on tho Meramec river, near St. Louis, has recently been visited by Mr. Collet, Secretary of the Historical Society there. The graves are what aredesignated as stone graves. Neither pottery nor stone implements have been found in any of the graves examined, and an opinion has been entertained by many that the graves were made by a race that did not know of their use, and yet the prevalence of stone axes and fragments of pottery are abundant in the near vicinity. The burial ground is thus described in the Republican : This graveyard is a slight eleva tion, scarcely a mound, perhaps fifty feet long, northwardly and southwardly, and fort}- wide. The rcccptaeles of deceased Indians in this locality, and in fact all that Mr. Collet visited elsewhere are stone grave?; and a description of one wili, in a general way, answer for all. They seem to be of different lengths, from four to six feet. The earth appears to have been leveled and several large flat stones laid together lengthwise to form the bottom of tho tomb. A number of thin stones were then placed on edge at suitable distance to form the ends and sides of the grave, and the earth filled against them on the outside. The body, or the bones, were then put in, two or more large flat stones laid on top as a cover, and the whole covered with earth. These stone graves j when opened are compactly filled ! with earth, so hard that it is fonnd t even more difficult to dig than the ] outside ground. This earth is the result of washings in from the rain, j and not of original filling in at tho' time of inhuming. This is proved j by the condition of the skulls which | are filled quite as compactly with ; earth as other portions of the grave. Half way down the hill, on a small piece of table land, is another buiying ground, aud in the valley to the northward of the promontory there are. or were, four or five more, i Two of these latter have entirely j disappeared ? dug up by the people owning tho lands for the sake of the flat stones to be used in build- 1 inr chimneys. Mr. Collet would not venture an opinion as to how many graves were contained in one of these tumuli, but thought the number was quite small. \ Hoy's Composition oil Ileus. Hens is curious animals.

Mr. Pitsenberger says that part of the agreement was not read to him bj the strangers, and that his understanding of the transaction was that no money was to be paid unless he made sale of the implements. lie thinks the note was made payable to the Exchange Bank of Greenville, three months after date, and wants notice given to all persons not to negotiate for it, as payment will be denied.
