TlUI.lTIN'a THE C.iSK ACTIVELY. j I jvvaso**^ sent for in great haste, to | attend a gentleman of rocnn/?f?l?^'4" whose wife, n lady intelligence and j refinement, had discovered him in , his room, lying senseless upon the floor. On arriving at the house, I found i Mrs. (i ,in great distress of mind. , 'What is the matter with Mr. i G V I asked, on meeting with 1 his'huly, who was in fears, and looked the picture of distress. 41 am afraid it is apoplexy,' she replifjd. *1 found him lying on the floor, wh^jeJje had, to all appearance, fallen ?siiddehly from his chair. His ; , facp is purple, and though he breathes i it is with great difficulty-' I went up to mv patient. He had i been lifted from n? ...o uuor, ana was \ now lying upon the bed. Sure e-1 nough. his fare was purple, and his i breatJiing labored, but somehow the symptoms did not indicate apoplexy- 1 Every vein in his head and facr> was j tinged and he lay perfectly stupid, j but still I saw no clear indication of an actual or approaching congestion of the brain. ^! 'Hadn't he better be bled, doctor?' asked the anxious wife. 'I don't know' t Ik* t that is necessary,' i rcnliod ? -? r., ilium ii wo let mm alone, it will pass off in the course of a few hours.' 'I don't think the case is so dangerous, madam.' 'Apoplexy not dangerous!1 '! hardly think it apoplexy,' T replied. 'Pray, what do you think it is, doc' tor ?' Mrs. G looked anxiously into mV (ace. 1 delicrtely hinted that he might possibly have bee.* drinking loo much brandy, but she positively and almost indignantly objected. 'No, doctor, I ought to know about that,' she said; 'depend upon it the disease is more deeply seated ; I am sure he had better be bled-, wont you iw^d him, doctor? A few ounces of /blood taken from his arm may give life' to the now stagnant ^circulation of blood in his veins.' 'Tjuis urged, after some reflection, ordered a bowl and 1 ?HU bandage, and opening a vein from which the blood flowed freely relieved hint of about eight ounces of this circulating medium.;? But he still lay as insensible as before, much to the I distress of his poov wife.11 ' "Something else must be do^e, docV)Ti she urged, seeing that the bleeding bad accomplished nothing. 'If wiy hitsbarid is not quickly relieve ', he must die.1 By this time several friends and ( relatives who had been ?ent for. ar- . rived, and urged upon me the adoption of some more active measures . for restoring the sick man to consciousness. One proposed mustard blasters all over his body, another a I j blister on his head, another bis im- ^ mersion in hot water. I suggested that it might do well to use a stom- i vcn pump.

It is the s best proof that could be given of the j utter falsity of the abominable it ones ~ i manufactured by designing cliques, d concerning the cruel treatment of j slaves and theU hatred of their mas' i tors: - j By a sailing vessel from Vera Crux* I which arrived here on Saturday last, came the negro man Marshall* a ' quiet, modest, unassuming person on h his way home from California.

Marshall 0 took the utmost care of his. master; [| was his faithful companion. nur e, u I and friend, and watched by him nni ceasingly until he breathed his last, d j There was noth ng left to pay the 11 funeral expenses and doctors'1 bills. Marshall set to work and labored r , hard until he managed io scrape to y j gether enough to settle these deb:s? i ($800)?debts which nothing but an '1 , admirab'e respect and veneration for j his master'^ memory, an exquisite '*! feeling of pride and affection comjife'| led him to pay.
