traveling to New York with several
thousand dollars in his belt to buy
goods, got acquainted ou the railroad
oars with a lasciuatiug young man,
styling himself Charles Warner, a dry
goods agent, and this haety acquaint?
anceship ended by Rousseau being
drugged aud robbed. The nice young
man was very hospitable, aud took
Rousseau to the house of his sister, as
ho said, aud would not permit him to
I run hotel expenses. Rousseau re?
membered nothing more that happened
till he was picked up iu the street by a
policeman. Moral?be careful ubout

tame length of lime. From ten to
twenty callers, and half as many boose
patients, would bo u fair nveruge; the
fees would , be 82 aud 35 caeh. At
these figures it would not be hard to
niake up an iucomo of 820,001) or
more. It is said of Dr. Willard Par?
ker, I believe, that huviug been culled
out of town to attend a patient, re?
turned a bdl of ?300, und wheu it wits
disputed, ho showed by his books that
his daily receipts were much over that
sum. Surgeons' single charges are
much lurger thau those of physicians,
though the iucomo of the latter are
probably tho highest. For ordinary
atteudauce their rates are about the
same, or Bay 85 a visit. From $23 up?
ward is the charge for operations. Fur
setting au arm or leg $250 would bo
asked, larger undertakings being in
proportion. For a case requiring u
delicate operation and six weeks' con?
stant attendance, sometimes two or
three times a day, S1.0J0 win lately
asked by a leiding surgeon. Iu an?
other instance, where a wealthy gen?
tleman was badly jammed by a rail?
road cur, he was attended by Dr. Jas.
H. Wood, who made about a dozm
visits, without an? important opera?
tion, and sent in a bill of 82,500,
which was paid. This is exceeded
by Dr. Ciruochau, who ebarg d
82,000 for ao operation alone,
while auotber surgeon is said to
have received Si.500 from ouo
patient. Tho price charged hy the
dentists are quite as high its those of
physicians. A man of ordinary repu?
tation in the profession will a hi-: from
35 to 330 for pulling u single tooth,
while Mr. Atkinson, one of the most
fashionable dentists, is reported to
charge ?10 for simply examining a per?
son's teeth aud 325 uu hour fur ope?
rating upon them, und has brought iu
a bill of 8200 for filling a single tooth.
Many people refuse to pay these fancy
prices, but it is a common thing to
have to pay from 310 to 8100 for den?
tists' bills. Most practitioners of any
roputatiuu havo engagement!! very far
ahead. Ten days is a short time to
wait for yojr turn, while a friend ol

could not give her a single hour's heed
until February, or nearly four mouths

profitable. Their iucomes rouge from

Hints to Letter-Writers.?Tho
postmaster at New York has issued a
circular which contains many valuable
hints to letter-writers. Considering
the fact that there are always? two par?
ties to u correspondence, these hints
will be useful to persons iu the city aud
out of it. The substance of the rules
are, therefore, given for the beuetit of
all concerned. They are as follows:
1. All mail matter directed to tium
bered boxes will be delivered through
those boxes.
2. Letters directed to city addresses,
street and number, will, if recognized
by the assorting clerks us inteuded lor
box-holders, bo delivered through the
boxes. If not so recognized, they will
be delivered through the carriers.
3. Mail matter addressed without box
number or street number, will be de?
livered as cxpedi'ioouly as possible,
either through boxes, general delivery
or currier.
Correspondents should direct their
letters plainly, correctly and fully, and
those who rent boxes would greatly
facilitate the business if they Will print
conspicuously ou their letter headings,
circulars, bill-heads, cards und enve?
lopes a request to correspoudeuts to
address letters to their respective box
numbers, und if those who receive mail
matter v camera would diu et their
correspoudeuts to include iu all cases
tho proper streets and numbers in the
I addresses of all letters.

" A New Invention- A Colored Man's
AomEVRMRNtrX-^We Have jnib 4 seen
what we consider due 'of the moat won?
derful triumphs of modern invention,
io the shape of u print ing press. It
wlib invented by Mr. Joseph E. Hayne,
a colored gentleman of Charleston, S.
C. The first peculiarity about the
press is, that it has a bed ut each end,
and ono revolution will print both
sides of a newnpaper as large us the
New York, Tribune; so that a perfect
newspaper cornea oft from the press by
one united motion ?f its complicated,
yet simple-acting, machinery. It is a
self-feeding perfecting platten presB?
that is, it takes up the paper without
tho aid of a human feeder, after it is
oncu luid ou, the roller aud the shift?
ing ugeucies turu the paper from one
cud of the press to thu other, while at
tho same time they turn the paper over
after it receives its first impression to
take its sccoud and lust impression.
Tho completed work is then lifted and
dropped by self-action of the press
into u box made to receive it. The
second peculiar feature is, that it does
book work us thoroughly und expedi
tiously ns it does newspaper work.
Tho plate forms at euch end can bo so
adjusted that uuy eizu of chase can be
put upon them, aud the aotion upon
them is as aocurate as Adams' press,
whioh has heretofore been considered
without u rival for book work, just ns
Hoe's press has been considered with?
out competition for uewspapor work.
The miuor advantages of the Hayue
press ure: 1. Thut ono man can ma?
nage the press. 2. It prints 70,000
impressions a day. 3. It can be built
for $'2,000, whereas auy other prcsi
which can do us much work will cost
from ?25,000 to $30,000. 4. It saves
labor?requiring bat ouu man to attend
it, while a Hoo ten cylinder that prints
but 10,000 copies per hour, only a few
more thousand per day than the Hay no
press, requires teu men to work it, and
will cost iu the neighborhood of $50,
000. Mr. Joseph E. Huyue is a man
of unmixed African blood, about
twenty-five years of age, and a native
of Charleston, S. C. Ho is u gentle?
man of medium height, of pleasant
aud gentlemanly address. His well
formed head und intellectual face give
earnest of still higher achievements in
the profession which ho has marked
out for himself. Already his talents
have enlisted the wurmest sympathies
