Tlaving for the last thirty-five years devoted my whole time and attention to' the study of lung diseases and consumption, I feel that f un derstand fully the course that ought to be pur sued to restore a tolerably bad case of diseased lungs to healthy soundness. The first and most important stop is for the patient to avoid taking cold, and the best of all places on this continent for this purpose in winter, is Florida, well down in the Stale, where the temperature is regular, and not subject to such variations as in more Northern latitudes. Palatka is a point I can re commend. A good hotel is kept there by Petef man. Last winter I saw several persons there whose lungs had been badly diseased, but who, under the healing influence of the climate and my medicines, were getting well. One hundred miles further down the river is a point which I would prefer to Palatka, as the temperature is more even and tho air dry and bracing. Mellonville and Enterprise are loca ted there. I should give a decided preference to Mellonville. It is two miles from river or lake, and it seems almost impossible to take cold thei-e. The tables in Florida might bo better, and pa tients complain at times but that is a good sign, as it indicates a return of appetite, and when this is the case they generally increase in flesh, and then the lungs must heal. Jacksonville, Hibernia, Green Cove, and many other places in various parts of Florida, can be safely recommended to consumptives in winter. My reasons for saying so arc that patients are less liable to take cold there than where there is a less even temperature, and it is not necessary to say that where a consumptive person exposes himself to frequent colds he is certain to die shortly. Therefore my advice is, go well down into the State out of reach of the prevailing east winds and fogs. Jacksonville, or almo it any other of the localities I have named, will benefit those w r ho are troubled with a torpid liver, a dis ordered stomach, deranged bowels, sore thro it or cough, but for those whose lungs are diseased a more southern point is earnestly recommend ed. For fifteen years prior to 18(59, I was profes sionally in New York, Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia every week, where I saw and ex amined on an average five hundred' patients a week. A practice so extensive, embracing ev ery possible phase of lung disease, has enable me to understand the disease fully, and hence, my caution in regard to taking cold. A person mav take vast quantities of “Schenek’s Pulmonic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills,” and yet die if he does not avoid taking cold. In Florida, nearly everv body is using Schcnok’s Mandrake Pills, for the climate is more likely to produce billious habits than more northern latitudes. It is a well established fact that natives of Florida rarely die of consump tion, especially those of the southern part. On the other hand, in New England, one third, at least, of the population die of this terrible dis ease. In the Middle States it does not prevail so largely, still there are many thousands of ca ses there. What a vast, percentage of life word be saved if consumptives were as easily alarm ed in regard to taking fresh cold as they are about scarlet fever, small pox, Ac. But thev are not. They take what they term a little cold, which they are credulous enough to believe will wear off in a few days. They pay no attention to it, and hence it lays the foundation for anoth er and another still, until the lungs are diseased beyond all hope for cure. My advice to persons whose lungs are affected even slightly is, to lay in a stock of Sehenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Scbenck’s Seaweed To lie and Schenek’s Mandrake Pills and go to Florida. I recommend these particular medicines becaue I am thoroughly acquainted with their action. I know that where they are used in strict accord ance with my directions they will do the work that is required. This accomplished, nature wil t do the rest. The physician who prescribes for cold, cough or night-sweats, and then advises the patient to walk or ride out every day, will be sure to have a corpse on his hands before long. My plan is to give my three medicines’ in ac cordance with tne printed directions, exeent in some cases where a freer use of ;he Mandrake 1 ills is necessary. My object is to give tone to the stomach—to get up a good appetite. It is al ways a good sign when a patient begins to grow hungry. I have hopes of such. With a relish for food and the gratification of that relish comes good blood, and with it more flesh, which isclose ly followed by a healing of the lungs. Then the cough loosens and abates, the creeping chills and clammy night-sweats no longer prostrate and annoy, and the patient gets well, provided ie avoids taking cold. Now there arc many consumptive who- lffcve net the means to go to Florida. The question may be asked, is there no hope for such? Cer tainly there is. My advice to such is, and evey lias been, to stay in a warm room during winter, with a temperature of about seventy degrees, which should be kept regularly at that point, by means of a thermometer. Let such a patient; take liis exercise within the limits of the room bv walking up and down as much as his strength will permit, in order to keep up a healthy circu lation of the blood. I have cured thousands by this system, and can do so again. Consumption is as easily cured as any other disease if it is ta ken in time, and the proper kind of treatment is pursued. The fact stands undisputed on record that Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup. Mandrake Pills, ■«?nd Seaweed Tonic have cured very many of «vhat seemed to be hopeless cases or cdnsnmp tiou. Go where you will, you w ill be almost cer tain to find some poor consumptive who has been rescured from the very jaw's of death by their use. So far as the Mandrake Pills are concerned, every l oky should keep a supply of them on hand. They cn the liver better than calomel, and .save none ot its hurtful effects behind. In fact they arc excellent in all cases where a purgative medicine is required. If you have partaken too freely of fruit and diarrhoea ensues, a dose of the Mandrakes will cure you. If you are subiect to sick headache, take a dose of the Mandrakes and they will relieve you in two hours. If you would obviate the effect of a change of water, or the too free indulgence in fruit, take one of the Mandrakes every night or every other night, and you may then di ink water arid eat watermel lons, pears, apples, plums, peeches or corn, with out the risk of being made sick by them. They will protect those who live in damp situations against chills and fevers. Try them. They are perfectly harmless. They can do you good only. I have abandoned my professional visits to Boston and New York, hut continue to see pa tients at my office, No. 15 N. SIXTH street, Phil adelphia, every Saturday, from 9 a. m. to 2 p. m. Those who wish a thorough examination with the Respirometer will be charged five dollars.— The Respirometer declares the exact condition of the lungs, and patients can readilv learn whether they are curable or not But I desire it distinctly understood that the medicines de pends upon their being taken strictly according to directions. lu conclusion, I will say that when persons take my medicines ami their systems are brought into a healthy condition thereby, they are not so liable to take cold, yet no oric with diseased lungs can boar a sudden change of at mosphere without the liability of greater or less irritation of the bronchial tubes. Full directions in all languages accompauv my medicines, so explicit ana clear that any one can use them without consulting me, and can be bought from any druggist. J. n. SCHENCK, M. D. No. 15 N.

It is oar duty to record one of the most glaring and flagrant outrages up on the rights and liberties of the citi zeus that has ever occurred within our knowledge. On Monday last, as the Revenue Officer, who was in charge of a squad of soldiers and a train of wag ons, approached the bridge across the Chestatee river, belonging to W. R. Bolding, Esq., he ordered the bridge keeper to open the gate and let him and his train pass. Before doing so the keeper demanded the toll which the officer refused to pay. About this time Mr. Bolding himself came up, when the same order was given to him, which he also refused to obey un til the toll was paid. At this the offi cer ordered an axe to be brought, when, Mr. Bolding feeling that he was powerless to enforce his rights, and fearing his property would be damag ed, directed his bridge-keeper to deliv the key. This the officer would not allow to be used, but had the gate bro ken, and passed through—his whole manner being most insolent, arbitrary and iusulting. But this is not all, if it were, outrage as it was, it might be borne. As soon as the bridge was passed, this petty tyrant, swelled and bloated with a lit tle brief authority—intoxicated with power as well as with blockade whiskey —ordered Mr. Bolding under arrest— had him hand-euffed--then, in this condition, without permitting him even to speak to his wife or children, he was dragged as a felon from his home and family, to be carried, as is suppos ed, to Atlanta. And all th.s for no crime—no violation of law—no wroug. Mr. Bolding is one of the fust citizens of our county—a peaceable, law-abid ing, high-toned, Christian gentleman. Such flagrant violations of every prin ciple of law and of right should not and cannot be tolerated without an ef fort at least to correct them The conduct of this distorted mouster, in this case, savors more of the bandit than of an officer charged with the ex ecution of the law. We, therefore, in the name of law, order, justice, right, and of everything that is sacred, ap peal to the constituted authorities of the country to see to it that adequate and speedy punishment be inflicted for this gross, wanton, flagrant outrage and crime. The above we copy from the Gaines ville Eagle , for the purpose of adding our testimony to what is there said of the character of Mr. Bolding—of whose hospitally we have partaken, and whom we know Ip be not only a law abiding citizen, but a high-toned Chris tian gentleman.— Exchange. Mark Twain on Juvenile Pugil ists. We find in the Buffalo Express of the 28th inst., the following paternal objurgations by Mark Twain. “Yes, I have had a good many fights in my time,” said old John Packy. ten derly manipulating his dismantled nose, “and it’s kind of queer, too, for when I was a boy the old man was al ways telling me better. He wits a good man and hated fighting. When I would come home- with my nose bleeding, or with my face scratched up, he used to call me out in the wood shed, and in a sorrowful and discour aged way say - “So, Johnny; you’ve had another tight, hey ? How many times have I got to tell you bow disgraceful and wicked it is for boys to fight? It was only yesterday that I talked to you an hour about the sin of fighting, and here you’ve' been at it again. Who was it with this time? With Tummy Kelly, hey ? Don’t you know any better than to fight a boy that weighs twenty pounds more than you do, besides bemg two years older ? Ain’t ye got a spark of sense about ye? I can see plainly that you are deter i med to break your poor father’s heart by your reckless conduct. What ails your finger? Tommy bit it!— Drat the little fool! Didn’t ye know enough to keep yer finger out of his mouth ? Was trying to yerk his cheek off, hey ? Won’t ye never learn to quit foolin’ 'round a boy’s mouth with yer fit.gets l You re bound to disgrace us all by seech disgraceful behavior ? You're determined never to be nobo dy ! Did you ever hear of Isaac Watts —that wrote ‘Let dogs delight to bark and bite’— sticking his fingers in a boy’s mouth to get ’em bit, Lke a fool? I’m clean discouraged with ye! Why didn’t ye go for his nose, the way Jon athan Ld wards, and George Washing ton, and Daniel Webster used to when they were boys? Couldn’t ’cause he had ye down ! That’s a party story to tell me! It does beat all that you can’t learn how Socrates and William Penn used to gouge when they was under, af er the hours and hours I’ve j spent in telling you about all those ; great men ! It seems to me sometimes ■as if I should have to give you up in I despair. It’s an awful trial to me to | have a boy that don’t pay attention | to good example nor to what I say.— ! W hat! you pulled out three or four handfuls of his hair! H-m ! Did he | squirm any ? Now if you’d a give him one or two in the eye—but as I’ve told ye, many a time, fighting is poor busi ness. Won’t you—for your father’s sake—won’t you promise to try and re member that! H-m! Johnny, how did it—ahem—v hich licked T “You licked him? Sho! Really? Well, now, I hadn’t any idea you could l.ck that Tommy Kelly! I don’t be lieve John Banyan, at ten years old, could have done it. Johnny, my boy, you can’t think how I hate tj have you fighting every day or two. I wouldn’t have had him lick you for five, no, not for ten dollars. Now, sonny, go right in and wash up, and tell yer mother to put a rag on yer fin ger. And, Johnny, don’t let me hear of your fighting again.’ “I never see anybody so down on fighting as the old man was, but some how he could never break me from it.” ITnmetliodical Methodism. The time was when our system was worked “by rule.” Leading minds— John Wesley himself generally—laid plans for progress, aud, as one man, sill his followers worked up to them— at least made an honest effort to do so. Then Methodism was an embodi ment of method. But now, plans arfe laid and adopted, orders gikeU and resolutions passed, wuile few carry them out systematically, and the Church iu all her interests suffers for the neglect Here are some wise thought on the subject from the Rich mond Christian Advocate : Methodism was fitly named. The Methodists were a methodical people, due allowance being made for the dif ficulties under which they labored. “A nation was born in a day:” it was no slight task to organize and officer at once that mixed multitude of converts. Especially was this difficult on continent, where a vast country was being filled up, Territories and States were being formed, and local and itinerant ministers were seeking to carry the gospel over the length aud breadth of the land, and keep abreast with the westward march of emigra tion. So great was the demand of the preliminary work of evangelization on the energies and resources of the rising church, that the work of gath ering, confirming, edifying, methodis ing the thousands of converts, could not receive as much attention as was desirable. Yet how admirable were the methods of the Church to supply this lack 1 Consider the class system. A society of two hnudred, let us say, was divided into ten classes ; over each class was placed a man of piety, aud also of some experience and gifts; he watched the daily walk of the mem bers of his own class; he acquainted himself with their temporal and spir itual state, etc. Anecdote About Carlyle. The curious and “ troublesome” style of Carlyle is said to be quite in contrast with his simple; straightfor ward way of talking. Hatred of shame is one of his notable characteristics. Oue evening at a small literary gath ering, a lady, famous for he “ muslin theology,” was bewailing the wicked ness of the Jews in not receiving our Saviour, and ended her diatribe by expressing regret that he had not appeared in our own time. ‘-How delighted,” said she, “ we would all be to throw our doors open to him, and listen to his divine precepts 1 Don’t you think so, Mr. Carlyle The sturdy philosopher, thus ap pealed to, said, iu his broad Scotch : “ No, madam, I don’t. I think that, had he come very fashionably dressed, with plenty of money, aud preaching doctrines palatable to the higher or ders, I might have had the honor of receiving from you a card of invi’a ion, on the back of which would be written “ To meet our Saviour ;” but if he had come uttering his divine precepts, and denouncing the Pha ise< s, and associ ating with Publicans and the lower orders, as he did, you would have treated him much as the Jews did, and have cried out; “Take him to Newgate and hang him!” On another oceasim, when Ernest Jones, a well-known Chartist leader, was haranguing, in his violent manner, against the established authorities, Carlyle shook his head, and told him that, “had the Chartist leaders been living in the days of Christ, he would have sent the unclean spirits into them, instead of into the swine of the Gergesenes, and so we should have happily got rid of them.” This deli cate allusion to the suicide of the pigs so as.ouished the respectable repre sentative of the numerous family of the Joneses that he said nothing more about Chartism that night. A Parson Fighting in the Name of the Lord. Not very far from Lancaster, Penn., is a little edifice called the Octorara Methodist Episcopal Church, over whose congregation Parson Gregg sometimes presides. Parson Gregg is a man who fears the Lord, but Lever stands in dread of man, be he never so mighty. The Octorara Church, genorally known as the “Gray Horse,” "stands in a sort of desert, and lies one half in Pennsylvania and one-half in Maryland ; that is, the old M;son and Dixon’s line cuts it in two, aud leaves the racred building equally divided between the two States. Whenever there is a rival the ungodly from the Southern side of the line eome over and raise Cain among the faithful. They congregate about the door and issue cat calls, uud they swear and cut up generally like barbarians. When meet ing is over they force their at ten tics upon the young ladies of the church, and, make love to them in. a highly indecorious manner, and on meeting the parson, altvays insist upon his taking ,a drink. This invariably of fends the good man, and excites his! wrath against the wretches, the more S. If; Smith $ Cos., Prop ietors. | since they arc almost always tips,. and I invariably blasphemous. Last night a party of them cams | over the line and disturbed the meet ing. Parson Gregg paused a moment j in the delivery o* his sermon, (which, i by the wav, was from the sth chapter jof St Matthew) and rolling up his sleeves, uttered himself as follows: “ Young neu, if there’s another dis- * orderly sound from among your vktf disreputable crowd, I’ll come down from this sacred K A tfcff nartfs’ of the Lord put a head on ‘ evert*- m >ther’s son of ybn.

Au audible'swear of the'first magni tude filled the room with its bad odor, and caused 'the'worshipers to shrink" within themselves with horror. Parson Gregg came down from that pulpit in a state of quiet raga He took off his coat and hung it over the chaucel rail, and then went for those wicked young men, only one of whom he succeeded in overhauling within the portals of the church. Him he basted 1 satisfactorily.' Following cIdST the trail of the others, he came ii)l*' with*the most outrageous heathen of* all; one Jim * Page Bed lor;, whom he tackled without a word ofgrace.

He will never be troubled any more. Affairs In the South. The Baltimore Gazette says: : A New York*' merchant, whd is scribed “as oue of" the most distin- * guished” in that city, return- 1 ed from an extended tour through the Southern States, and has famished' 1 one of the journals—edited by a Be- * publican—with the result of hifcr obser vations. His account of the condi tion of affairs there coincides so entire-* ly with the reports that, from time to time, have reached the Qazette from other sources, that they are eminently worth considering. Both financially and commercially, he found the Sonth greatly depressed. The cotton crop, though the largest that has been gathered since the war, has not been profitable to the plant ers, except in a few instances and un der exceptional circumstances. The factors who had taken liens upon the ** stock and crop to cover their advances, have, to a considerable extent, »ne- * ceeded iu getting their money back; but the planter has been left without sufficient resources to carry him un- ~ embarrassed through the next season, aud the factors, though partially re imbursed, and generally secured against loss in respect to their previous advances, are shy of putting out morfe '* money, or furnishing more fertiHtdra on the basis of their old engagements. The greater parts of the proceeds of last season’s crop having been absorb ed by the factors, the country mer- : ‘ Chants, with whom the planters have also had dealings during the year, find ! it difficult to make collections, and iu many instances will have to wait the chances of the next crop. Money is consequently scarce, and in demand, and will readily command one and a-half per cent, interest. Os all the Tk>Uon States, that of Georgia * presents the most hopeful prospects, - whilst Savannah, her chief city-through the facilities offered by her great Central - Railroad and the liberality of its man agement—“has become the second city of the South.” Charleston has sunk into a kind of sullen stupor and tor pidity. Mobile languishes wearily, and the trade and commerce of New Or leans, as compared with what it wSs " s before the war, has senibly* declined No new buildings of consequence are going up in either of the three latter ’ cites. • After making due allowance for fcifer* depression at this time, arising from the low price of cotton, the conclu's sion is reached that the main trouble of the South is \ the extravagance of the alien Radical authorities; and that* the States where negroes predominate, and, therefore, hold, through corrupt white Radicals, the chief control, are iu worse condition than any of the sis ter Southern StAtes." “In New Orleans, the rate of feCate ’ and local taxation for the year 1870 amounted to five and a half per cent upon a full valuation of all the prop erty, personal as well as rerfl/* T!te feeling at the South nraong all class* • of the native white population, is that they have been brutally dealt with by ' the Radicals at 'Washington, and that the malignity of the latter has not yet exhausted itself. This feeling has crip pled their energies, shaken their con fidence in the future, and tends largely to keep up and intensify the social, po litical and industrial disorganization that now prevails there. The worst enemies of the South are the carpet baggers, and nothing, we are told, can be more cerhiin that prosperity there cannot be restored until the carpet bag governments, with their organized system of robbery, are put down, and an honest system of administration es tablished instead.
