MANY a human being has passed away' for whose deatli these was no other reason than the Degleet of known and iudisputnblv proven means of cure. Those near and dear to family and friends are sleeping the dreamless slumber into which, had they calmly adopted Dlt. JOSEPH H. SCHENCK’S SIMPLE TREATMENT. and availed themselves of his wonderful effica cious medicines, they would not have fallen. Dr. Schenck has in his own case proved that wherever sufficient vitality remains, that vital ity, by his medicines and his directions for their use, is quickened into healthful vfgor. 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 works. The theory of the cure by Dr. Schenck’? medicines is as simple as it is ui failing. Its philosophy requires no argument. It is self-assuring,*self convincing. The Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are the first two weapons with which the citadel of the malady i* assailed. Two-thirds of the cases of consumption originate in dvspepsia and a functionally disordered livet. With this condition the bronchial tubes “sympathize” with the stomach. They respond to the morbific action of the liver, ifere 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 nolfiest gifts—the Podophillum Pelta tum. They possess all the - blood-searching, alterative properties, of calomel. T> lfl UllllKl Clllv r™®!, iL« r “LEAVE NO STING BEHIND,- The work of cure is now beginning. The vitiated and mucous deposits in the bowels and iii 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. Chylincation is now progressing without its previous tortures. Digestion becomes painless, and the cure is seen to he at hand. There is no more flatulence, no exacerbation of the stomach An appetite sets in. Now comes the greatest Blood Purifier ever yet given by an indulgent father to suffering man. Schenck’s Pulmonic Svrup comes in to 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. In the form of gatherings, it prepares them for expectoration, and lo Y in a very short time the malady is vanquished, the rotten throne that it occupied is renovator! 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 imiwsSible to prevent taking cold when the lungs are diseased, hut it must be prevented or a rure cannot be effected. Fresh air and riding out, especially ip this section of the country in the winter season, are all wrong. Physicians who recommend that course lose patients, if their lungs are badly diseased, and vet because th’ey 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 hear, to get up a good circulation of blood. The patients must keep in good spirits—he determined to get well. 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. Schenck’s personal statement to the Faculty of his own cure was in these modest words : Many years ago I was in the last stages of consumption ; confined to my bed, and at one time my physicians thought that 1 could not live a week; then, like a drowning man catch ing at Straws, I heard of and obtained the pre narutions which I now offer to the public, and they mafic a perfect cure of mo. It seemed to me that I could feel them penetrate my whole system. They soon ripened the matter in my lurtgS, 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 mv cough, fevei, pain and night sweats all began to leave me, and my appetite became so great that it was with difficulty that I could keep from eating too much. I soon gained iny strength, And hare grown in flesh ever'since.” ■ “I was weighed shortly after my recovery,” added the Doctof, “then looking like a mere skeleton; my weight whs only ninety-seven pounds ; uiy present weight is two hundred and twentv-five pounds, and for years I have “ ENJOYED GOOD HEALTH.” Dr. Schenck has discontinued his professional visit to New York and Boston. He or his son. Dr. .1 H. Schenck, Jr., still continue to see patients atiffieir office, No. 15 North Sixth street, Philadelphia", every Saturday from !» a. m., to 3 p. m. Those who wish a thorough examination with the Respirometer will he charged five dollars. The Respiromcter declares the exact condition of the lungs, and patients can readily learn whether tliev are curable or not. Thu 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 eases the Man drake Pills are to he taken in increased doses ; the three medicines need no other accompani ments than the ample instructions that do accompany them. Sjrst create appetite. Os returning healih hunger is the most welcome svmptom. When it comes, as it will come, let the despairing be of good cheer. Good blood at once foilows, the cough loosens, the night sweat is abated. In a short'time both of these morbid symptoms are gone forever. ’ Dr. 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 aud colds, may he regarded as a pronhylacteric against consumption in any of its forms. Price of the Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed Tonid, $4.50 a bottle, or $7,50 a half dozen. Man drake Pills, 95 cents a box. For sale by all druggists and dealers. JOHN F.

Though our vote lias no bearing nor weight; j And the old man sang hiui an oil, old song— Never sang voice so clear and strong . That it could drown the old man'ft long, For he sang the song “Too late! too , . late ‘• When we want, we have for our pains The promise that if we but wait Till the want has burned out of our brains Every means shall be present to state. While we send for the napkin the soup gets cold, I While the bonnet is trimming the face grows old, When wove matched our buttons the pattern is sold, And everything comes too late—too late. “When strawberries seemed like red heav ens, Terrapin stew a wild dream— When my brain was at sixes and sevens If my mother had folks’ and ice-cream, Then I gazed with a lickerish hunger A t the restaurant man and fruit-mon ger— But oh ! how I wished I were W hen the goodies all came in a streau* -rin a stream. “I’ve a splendid blood'horse—and a liver That it jai 8 into torture to trot; My row-boat’s the geui pf the river— Gout makes every knuckl ■ a knot ! I can buy boundless credits on Paris and Rome, But no palate for menus —no eyes for a dome ; Those belonged to the youth who must tarry at home, When no hofhe but an attic he’d got — he’d got. “How I longed in that lonest of garrets, Where the tiles baked iny brains all July, For groutid to grow two pecks of carrots — Two pigs of my own in a sty—.

J. S. ». MONSELL, 1). D. “Thy way is in the sea, and Thy path in the great waters, and Thy footsteps are not known.’' —Psalms lxxvii. 19. I asked for grace to lift me high, Above the world’s depressing cares ; God sent me sorrows ; —with a sigh I said, He has not heard my prayers. I asked for light, that I might see My path along life’s thorny road ; But clouds and darkness shadowed me When I expected light from God. [asked for peace, that I might rest To think my sacred duties o’er, When lo ! such horrors filled my breast As I had never felt before. And O, I cried, can this be prayer Whose plaints the steadfast mountains move ? Can this be Heaven’s prevailing care— And, 0 uiy Qod, is this Thy love? But, soon I found that sorrow, worn As Duty’s garment.strength supplies, And out of darkness meekly borne Unto the righteous light doth rise. And soon I found that fears which slirr’d My startled soul God’s will to do, On me more real peace cquferr’d Than in life’s calm I ever knew. •Then, Lord, in Thy mysterious ways Lead my dependent spirit on, And, whensoe'er it kneels and prays, Teach it to say “Thy will fee done !” Let. its one thought, one hope, one prayer, Thine image s^ek —Thy glory see; Let every other wish and care Be left confidingly to Thee 1 mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmsamammmmmmmmmrnmmm An Important Decision. The United States Supreme Court has de cided that the limitation laws of the South ern States were suspended for the full period between the proclamation of blockade of the Southern ports April 10th, iIfGJ, and tho proclamation of the restoration of Federal Minority of August, 20th, 1866. The effect of this, decision will be to reopen the courts pf the Southern States to ante-war etaims of .Northern creditors, anil to give vitality to obligations which have been barred by limi tation under the hitherto ruling of State Courts. The principle will apply equally to Federal and State Courts. [Savannah News. THE MEW WOTOR. The Traction Engine or Rond SfeiinicrN Trial Throiijrh the Street* and on the White SI!uIF Hoad—SufMaclory lit suit*. As was announced, the great inven tion of the age. Thompson’s “ Traction Engine” or “ Road Steamer,” was gotten under a good h> nd of steam yesterday morning at 9 o’clock, and ran from the Empire Steamship Com pany’s wharf up the hill and through the streeta As soon as a sufficient quantity of steam was raised to ven ture the ascent, after running up aud down the wharf a. few times to get the machinery in good working order, if commenced ascending the ateep grade leading from the wharf to Bay street and moved up with apparently much ease. Some persons had expressed the opinion that in going up hill, if the steam should not prove suflieieut to, carry it to the top, and it should stop short of the level ground, it could not be kept stationary, but would roll back down hill, and possiblv into the river, before the driver could check it. These remarks were heard by the driver,who is the machinist who brought the en gine here, and afer running with per fect ease until he reached the middle of the grade, he stopped his engine,and gazed quietly around at the astonished crowd. When he thought they ought to be satisfied with this proof of their mistake, he steamed on up to the top of the hill. Reaching the level gronnd, on Bav street he stopped again, until lie could see hjs way perfectly clear, and then ran his machine leisurely up the street, crowds of men and boys following on, looking upon this truly wonderful combination of machinery in astonish ment, as it moved up the street, puff ing and jolting along over the rough stones, looking like a huge steam fire engine getting along to a fire on its own hook, independent of horses. Up and down the Bay the strange creature of man’s limitless ingenuity ran for the observation of the y ist crowd, momentarily increasing in num bers and interest, turning with as much ease, and in comparatively as little space as a phoeton and pair of horses, around the Post office corner into Bull street, and on round John sou’s Square, through mud puddles, and back .nto Bay street, where a few more short runs were made over the wood and stone pavement. It WUiO tIiCU Ooioi IDl.ivJI 4. 1 trip over the White Biuff road, and for that purpose the engine was run into Drayton Street, where an old omnibus was attached, and a party, determined to see the thing out, took their seats inside. It was soon filled with as many as could get in, and all being ready, the engine steamed slowly out Drayton, one of the sandiest streets in the city. It made several stoppages before reaching the Park, occasioned by the want of steam at the start, and the fact that it was difficult to keep up a good head of steam with the material at hand, and also on account of the newness of the machinery, not having had sufficient attrition to render all the parts per fectly smooth in their operations upon each other. We did not accompany those who rode out on this test occasion, but from all accounts the machine was pro nounced a success. After going four or five miles over the White Bluff road they returned to the city. The engine ran down Bay street once more, and went to the Central Rail road depot. A great many of our citizens, among them a number of first-cl tss machin ists, witnessed the performances of the Traction Eugine, and the opinion uni versally expressed was in its favor. Upon its introduction into the country many defects, not yet apprehended, will very probably appear, but these will be remedied ns speedily as possi ble, and such alterations and im provements will be made as the ne cessities of the case requires. A certaia point has been gained and there will be no retrogade movement The motto of the age is onward, and we may safely say the Traction En gine, as a motive power, is sure. If not in a short time, a few years at least will probably witness its intro duction upon our highways,, The horses on the stieets did not seem to take fright at the monster or regard its puffing with much anxiety or fear.* '■' f ' ———■— Another Tennessee Fish Story.—A. A. Freeman* esq., nu mber elect from Haywood county to the aext legisla ture, made to the editors of this paper in the presence of several well known gentlemen, the following re markable story; J. B. Maxey, an intelligent citizen of Bell’s Depot, in this county, and keeper of the hnt< 1, at that place, and for whom A. A. Freeman, vouches for as a reliable, truthful man, was fishing in a canoe on Jiuly seventh, in Forked Deer river, near B ll’s Depot, and in that part of the river between the railroad aed dirt road bridges, when his attention was called to an object in the river some fifty yards distant, which presented the appearance of n mau rowing. Maxey rowed within ben feet of the object and saw a remarka ble creature, as the follvw’ing descrip tion \ri 1 testify: ft had a face perfectly white with features like those of a Lu.nan being. ,It h4d something like moos upon in* S.

Its body dowu the waist or so much of it as w s exixxxd, was covered with black and white aj>ots. It was as large as an ordinary man, and bad large black eyes. , SjLxoy was within loti feet of it for ten minutes.

James Neal and Isaac Ward say they saw the same creature. Almost a Duel. — ln our piece on duelling, in last Mondays Mosaic, we .omitted an amusing incident which occurred a good many years ago, be tween two men in Mississippi, whose names, have si#ce become historical in the annals of this couutry. We refer r to Robert J. Walker, and Dr. William Mi Gwin, Duke of Souora. An alter cation occurred between them which led to acb dlenge from Mr. Walker. Walker was a man of remarkably diminutive size, while the Doctor to vered like a giant, with the brawn and bone of a L union porter. Walker was bent on fighting; but the Doctor who was naturally a jovial and kiud uearted soul, Ud not feel at all aggiiev # ed towards his -adversary. Be that as it might, the Doctor accepted the challenge, and chose the Indian war tomahawk as his weapon, The terms wa re so arranged that oti a given day the combatants were to be posted one hundred end fifty yards apart, and at a surnal to rush past each other, like knights hi a tourney, fli iging their tomui awks in their o r>e The Dr. caused it to be bruited abroad that he practiced every day in a snvaiii a i a few miles away from the town, wncx*e both resided. P»qu©l with curiosity, Mr. Walker allowed himself to be persuaded to visit the spot surreptitiously und view the achievements of his antagonist. Not so surreptitiously however, that Dr. Gwiu w T .-iS not aware whose pryiug eyes w.re fixed upon his movements. Measuring oft' one hundred and fifty paces from the solitary stump of a pine tree, the Doctor bounded with a spring and yell that would have de lighted Chingachcook, the venerable padre of the last of the Mohegaus; his tomahawk poised high in the air, a qIIUO* UOUiOUIbA strongly mixed features. As he neared the stump he proj. cted the missile, with a powerful sweep of his arm, clean up to the handle into the soft pine, and panting, come to a dead halt. There was something so ludicrously savage in all this, that Mr. Walker and his companion burst involuntarily into a fit of laughter from their ambush. The laugh betrayed them; a recon ciliation took place, and to the break ing out of the Confederate war, and, it may be, up to Mr. Walker’s death, they were fast friends. —New Orleans Times. A Touching Incident. Within the past week, an aged and worthy woman-once the property of the late Captain Lewis Kenan, and histtnWe throughout infancy—came to our city alone and over three hundred miles travel, with no other object than to look at bis grave and to sympathise with her old mistress in the deep dis tress of the family ! Her feelings were those of a mother; and when tlie poor, sorrowing soul gazed upon the narrow bounds which holds all that is mortal of him she had tended and cared for as her own, there is little donbt she shared much of the sad bereavement of the real pareut. Such instances of devoted attachment and unastenbv tious gratitude are few, even amongst the highest grades of society —illustra- ting as ft does, those ties which sub sisted in tin relation of Southern mas ters and their slaves —making it a mu tual joy and a lasting benefit to both alike. The woman lu re alludtd to Diey, well and kindly remembered by many citizens of Milledgeville—borne and owned in the family of the lute Col Robert W. Alston, and who has never bved under any other protection. She is now, and has been ever since the war, in the service of one Qf her young mistresses (Mis. Ried) of Thoiu..svilic, ia., and the same attentive, unswerv ing, friend and assistant, as she bed been the dutiful, faithful and trusted servant. Her mission ended and tier feelings gratified, she has gone back li ber home, where, we hope, her days may be prolonged and their tenmmt ti n crowned with the assurances of a nappy hereafter.— MdU'dyeviile L'nio». Methodist preachers are prover bially facetious. A day or two since, in the course of the trial of Dr Lana ban before the Book Committee of the Methodist Chmch, the liev. Mr. Moore made the statement that “a Methodist preacher had been hung, and more ougbt to be;” whereupon a good brother promptly askpd, “"Which Moore ■ - Bgk, Picnics in ilie migUbarl?eud ™ •^ ,,r folk, Virginia, w|nd uj> by the girl* land ing in a long raw, while m * n I 1 ’ along the line and kba-s thtHgall - good night.” .
