E- sohence:, m a nd a human being has passed away, for whose death there was no other reason than the neglect of known and indisputably proven means of cure. Those near and dear to family and friends are sleeping the dreamless slumber into which, had they calmly adopted DR, JOSEPH H. fOHENCK’S SIMPLE TREATMENT. and availed themselves of his wonderful effica cious 1 edicines. they would not have fallen. Dr. Schenck has in his oifn case proved that wherever sufficient vitality remains, that vital ity, by his medicines and his directions for their use, is quickened into healthful vigor. In this statement there is nothing presump tuous. To the faith of the invalid is made no representation that is not a thousand times substantiated by living and visible work'. The theory of the cure by Dr. Selicuck’s medicines is as simple as it is ui failing. Its philosophy requires no argument. It is self-assuring, s At convincing. The Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake-Pills are the first two weapons with which the citadel of the malady is assailed. Two-thirds of the cases of consumption .originate in dvspepsia and a funtionally disordered liver. YFith this condition the bronchial tubes “ sympathize” with the stomach. They respond to the morbific action of the liver. Here then comes the cul minating result, and the setting in, with all its. distressing symptoms, of CONSUMPTION, The Mandrake Pills are esmposed of one of Nature’s noblest gifts—the Podophillum Felta tum. They possess all the blood-seaiching, alterative properties of calomel, but unlike calomel, they “ LEAVE NO STING BEHIND,” The work of cure is now beginning. The vitiated and mucous deposits in the bowels,and in the alimentary canal are ejected. The liver, like a clock, is wound up. It arouses from its torpidity. The stomach acts responsively, and the patient begins to feel that he is getting, at last, A SUPPLY OF GOOD BLOOD. The Seaweed Tonic, in conjunction with the Pills, permeates and assimilates with the food. Chylideation is now progressing without its previous tortures. Digestion becomes painless, and the cure is seen to be at hand. There is no more flatulence, 110 exacerbation of the stomach An appetite sets in. Now comes the greatest Blood Purifier ever vet given by an indulgent father to suffering man. Sehenek’s Pulmonic Syrup comes in tb perform its functions- and to hasten and com plete the cure. It enters at once upon its work. Nature cannot be cheated, it collects and ripens the impaired portions »of the lungs. Tn tlio form of gatherings, it theta for expecterotion, and lo ! in a very shert time the malady is vanquished, the rotten throne that it occupied is renovated and made new, and the patient, in all the dignity of regained vigor, steps forth to enjoy the manhood or the woman hood that was GIVEN UP AS LOST. The second thing is, the patients must stay in a warm room until they get well ; it is almost impossible to prevent taking cold when the lungs are diseased, but it must be prevented or a cure cannot be effected. Fresh air and riding out, especially in this section of the ccuntrv in the winter season, are all wrong. Plivsiclans who recommend that course lose patients, If their lungs are badly diseased, and yet because they are in the house they must not sit down quiet; they must walk about the room as much and as fast as the strength will bear, to get up a good circulation Os blood. The patients must keep in good spirits—be determined to get vroU. This has a great deal to do with the appetite, and is the great point to gain. To despair of cure after such evidence of its possibility in the worst cases, and moral cer tainty in all others, is sinful. Dr. Sehenck’q personal statement to the Faculty of his own euro was in these modest words : Many years ago T was in the last stages of consumption ; confined to-my bed, and at one time my physicians thought that I could not live a week; then, like a drowning man catch ing at straws, I heard of and obtained the pre cautions which I now offer to the public, and they made a perfect cure of me. It seemed to me that I could fe.el them penetrate my whole system. They soon ripened the matter in my lungs, and I would spit up more than a pint of offensive yellow matter every morning for a long time. As soon as that began to subside my cough, fevei, pain and night sweats all began to leave me, and my appetite became so great that it was with difucultv that I could keep from eating too much. 1 soon gained my strength, and have grown in flesh ever since.” “I was weighed shortly aftcr inv recovery, added the Doctor, then looking like a mere skeleton; my weight was onlv ninety-seven pounds ; my present weight is two hundred and twenty-five pounds, and for years 1 have enjoyed uninterrupted health.” Dr. Scheuck has discontinued his professional visit to New York and Boston. He or his son, Dr. J 11. Schenck, Jr., still continue to see patients at their office, No. w North Sixth street, Philadelphia, every Saturday from 9 a. m., to 3 p. m. Those nho wish a thorough examination with the Respirometer will be charged five dollars. The Respirometer declares the exact condition of the lungs, and patients can readily IcffTii whether they are curable or not. The directions for taking the medicine are adapted to the intelligence even of a child Follow these directons, and kind nature will do the rest, excepting that in some cases the Man drake Pills are to be taken in increased doses ; the three medicines need no other accompani ments than the ample instructions that do accompany them. First create appetite. Os returning health hunger ia the most welcome symptom. When it comes, as*it will come, let the despairing be of good cheer. Good blood at once follows, the cough loosens, the night sweat is abated. In a short time both of these morbid symptoms are gone forever. I)r. Schenck’s medicines are constantly kept in tens of thousands of families. Asa laxative, or purgative, the Mandrake Pills are a standard preparation; while the Pulmonic Syrup, as a curer of coughs and colds, may be regarded as a prophylacterie against consumption in any of its forms. Price of the Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed Tonic, $1.50 a bottle, or $7.50 a half dozen. Man drake Pills, 25 cents a box. For sale by all drusrglst-s and deal rs. JOHN F.

Many New York merchants are thinking of dispensing with drummers cr traveling agents, ol whom no fewer than twenty-five thousand, it is said, are sent from this city alone, whose salaries, commission, and traveling ex penses amount in the aggregate to be tween fifty and sixty million dollars a year. This sum is practically a tax upen the retailers throughout the country, each of whom pays annually n ota $175., to S2OO to maintain a sys tem which is now declared to involve a needless expenditure of money.— Several large houses that have dis charged their drummers are reported a 3 doing as well as before the change was made, and to have incurred fewer j losses. Iu bio eagerness to earn his , commission on sales, tho drummer will j force upon the retailer, goods that are not actually wanted; whence it follows that the buyer often suffers, and the seller also becomes a loser. The lia b.lity to loss on this account, will of course be greatly diminished by the abolition ot the whole system, in place 0/' ivhich many of our merchants have substituted more extensive advertising with very favorable results. [N. Y. Sun. A Little Boy Burned £0 Deaiii. A Heartrending Calamity. A letter to the Sdndorsville Geor gian, dated Jefferson county, March 10, conveys intelligence of a most heartrending occurrence, as follows: About 3 o’clock ou Thursday morn iug last, the residence of Mr. John Jones took fire and was entirely con sumed, together with everything of vul e therein contained. But the sad dest part of all is yet to be told—the burning to death ot their only boy, dar ling little Willie. When the alarm was given, Mr. Jones hastened to the stove room, the or .gin of tho fire, aud attempted to stay the flames. Ills wife and three children were all in a room, fartherest from the lire. Mrs. Jones took nor babe in her arms and went out, forget ful pf the unconscious Willie sleeping sweetly iu the same bed. Nor was he remembered—though ample tim j elaps ed to have saved him—until liis faint cry was heard amid the crackling flames. At this awful discovery, the frantic pare) ts would have rushed madly into the flames in the vain hope of rescuing their perishing child, had they not been kept back by those pres ent. Their intense agony was fearful to beheld. Willie’s poor little body was almost consumed.

He afterwards sw allowed them in full view of the lookers-on, ended by restoring them all threaded upon a long thread. His pipe feat was wonderful. Taking a snmil pipe filled with tobacco, he lighted the weed, and swalloowed the whole ap paratus, clouds of smoke issuing from his mouth. No matter what he did the smoke would come. He tried to quench it with water, and even took his pipe and placed it under his g;>r raent, yet the clouds of tobacco vapor would roll out from between his lips. The greatest feat of the evening, was the cross-ladder act by Hatsnma and his son, a boy of about toD years. In this, the lawn of gravity were outraged severely, which but made the perform ance more remarkable. Laying on his back, Satsuma .he elder, balanced up on his feet a heavy ladder, some twen ty feet long, at the extreme of which another much shorter ladder extend ed out at a right angle. Upon this structure Iho boy made his way, with every confidence in his father, appar ently, who bale:;cod the whole as stead ily as if it but a part of himself. Creeping out on the short bidder, the audience breathless with excitement and expectation, the boy made Lis way to the end of it, whoro bb hung head downwards and twisted himself about in a manner not at ail comforting to the spectators. 32*3 cT AYar. Kerr von Wicked a, the German war chronicler, says that cn the road from Belfort to Pontarlier he saw a “bevy of famished women throw themselves up on a dead heroe like a pack of wolves, aud, tearing it with all sorts of instru ments, swallow morsek quite raw.”— He also mentions canibalism, but does not vouch for that. But be concludes as follows: “This is the eighth cam paign I have been through, but neith er in Algeria, nor in Italy, not iu Bo hemia, not even in Schleswig, have I seen sights so horrible.”.

Some days ago, an item for contin gent expenses of the House being un der consideration, Mr. Dawes explain ed that the principal cause of exhaus | tion of the contingent fund was the 1 payments to contestants for seats in the House, who had received during tho present Congress seventy-eight thou sand dollars, besides twenty-eight thou sand paid for expenses in connection with those cases. Just think of it: One hundred and six thousand dollars paid away by a single Congress to men who were neith er officers cor representatives in any capacity, and who had not a scintilla oi honest chum against the govern ment. Every vagabond who chooses to run for Congress, if he should not get a hundred votes iu his district, is allowed to go to Washington, and, by going through the form of a contest for somebody s seat, put thousands in to his pocket. rihnme! shame!! shamisl !! —Savannah Republican, Experiment with a Mitrailleuse and a Jackass. An English paper says : It is in contemplation to mount milrnilleusee on the backs of camels, and work them in that novel position. It is almost neetiieaa 10 nay mat me. exuerm%nt nas been tried m Lngiana; jor wd;U experiment;; have we not tried in England ? But camels in England are not readily obtainable, and tho Grdi nauco Committee therefore selected or e of those jaded old asses which form so common a feature in the land scape at Erith and Wolwieh. The animal quietly permitted itself to be used in the service of science till the critical moment. The weapon on its back had been loaded and pointed at the butts, when it had suddenly occurred to one of the committee that the pulling of the lanyard might dis turb the aim It was, therefore, sug gested that the discharge should be effected with a lighted luse. But tbe unpleasant fizz of the latter applicance was too much even for the patience of a donkey. The creature no sooner heard the unusual sound than he sent out his heels, and, turning completely round, pounted the mitrailleuse among the members of the committee. The panic which followed can be better imagined than discribed, but fortunate ly everybody got out of harm’s way, and when the discharge took place the wretched ass turned a complete sum mersault. After such a contretemps we shall surely hear no more about a battalion of camel mitrailleurs. Paddy’s descrintion of a fiddle can not be beat : “It was the shape of a turkey, and the size of a goose, he turned it over on its back and rubbed its belly with a stick ; and och! JSt. Patrick ! how it did squeal ?” S. U. Smith <)' Cos., Proprietors. Tlic Last Milestone. Sixty years through shine and shadow, Sixty years, my gentle v ife, j You and I have walked together Down the rugged road of hfe, j From the Kills of spring we started, And through all tho summer land, : And the fruitful autumn country, v We have journeyed hand in hand. We have home the heat and burden, Toiling painfully and slow: We have gathered in oar harvest, With rejoicing, long ago, Leave the uplands for our children— They are strong to sow and reap; Through the quiet winter lowlands Now our level way we keep. We have had our time of Twkj a proud and happy day—. * Ah l the proudest of our j >urney — When we felt that we could say Os the children God has given, Locking foudly on the ten: “Lovely women are our daughters— And our sons are noble men 1" We have had our time of sorrow Our time of anxious fears, When we could not see the milestones Through the blindness of our tears, la the sunny summer country, Far behind us little May, And Willie, too, grow weary, And we left them on the way. Are you looking backward, mother, That you stumble on the snow ! I am still your guide and staff, dear, Lean your weight upon me, sol. Our road is growing narrow; • And what is my wife, you say ? Yes ! I know our eyes nre dim, dear,. But we have not lost the way. Cheer thee! cheer thee! faithful hearted! Just a little way before files the great Eternal City Os the King that we adore, I can see the shinig spires; And the King, the King, my dear, We have served him long and humbly, He will bless us, do not fear. A Wonderful Ally Is London. It is four times more populous than New York and St, Petersburg, twice as populous as Constantinople, has two-thirds more people in it than Paris, and one-fourth more than Pe kin. It contains as many people as Scotland, twice as many as Denmark, and three times the number of Greece. Every eight minutes, night and day, one person dies; every five minutes one is born. Eight hundred thousand have been added to the population since 1851. Only half a million of all, this population attend public worship, and there are a million cf absentees who, if inclined to attend, would, require to have 800 new places of. worship built p 100,000 people work on Suoda s; there are 140,000 habitu al gin-drinkers ; 190,000 intoxicated people taken every year off the streets; 100,000 fall n women; 10,000 profes sional gamblers; 20,000 children train ed to crime. There are four hundred biblo women; three hundred and eighty city missionaries; and twenty thousand persons attend public wor ship in the theaters every Sunday evening. It is a world—in itself. Wfco woKld ISr.rc Thought It? At the Radical caucus at Washing-, ton, Satimday last, Senator Sumner is reported to have said that the loyalists of the north needed projection as well as the loyalists of the South. Who would have expected such an appeal from tho party of autocrats and des pots who have lorded it over the country so heartlessly sot the List ten years ? Their time, it seems, has come, and we are glad to hear it. We knew they would be sick the moment their own policy was turned upon thorn,. For one, we protest against any ex tension of mercy. It is time an example was made of tyrants in this country —vme that will be remembered to the latest generation. BgL. Appleton’s Journal is responsi ble for the following: A prise of ten debars was recently offered to any member of the Georgia Teachers’ Institute who would write and spell correctly the words in the follow:rg sentence: “It is an agreeable sight to witness the unparallelled em barrassment of a harnessed pedler at tempting to guage the symmetry of a peeled onion, which a sibyl has stab bed with a poniard regardless of the iuuendoes of the lillies of the corne lian hue.” Thirty-eight teachers com peted for the prlae, but yot ope was successful. S&* A revivalist essayed, in a ser mon in £oston, a day or two ago, to show the folly, sin aid evil inlinence of dancing, and roundly asserted that the children of dancing people a:e generally cripples, or afflicted with some chronic disease. f* oguAn Englishman, dining in a Chi nese village, was greatly enjoying a savory dish, and would have expressed his pleasure to the waiter, who, howev er, understood nothing of English, nor could our friend utter a word of Chi nose. The smacking of lips indicated satisfaction; and theu came the qu s- . tion ingeniously put. Pointing at the portion of meat in the dish, and which he supposed to be duck, the English man, with an enquiring look, said: “Quack, quack, quack?” The waiter, gilively shaking his head, as much as t r » snv, ‘'Jno; ' replied: “i>o\\, wow, Wow!” NUMBESI !2
