D MANY a human being has passed awav, 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 n. SCHENCK’S SIMPLE THE ATM ENT. and availed themselves of his wonderful effica cious medicines, they would not have fallen. Dr. Schenck has in his own ease proved that wherever sufficient vitality remains, that vital ity, by his medicines and his directio is 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 works. The theory of the cure by Dr. S. honck’s medicines is as simjde as it is m 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 is assailed. Two-thirds of the cases of consiimution originate in dvspepsia and a functionally disordered livei. With this condition the bronchia! tames “sympathize” with tin' stomach. They respond to the morbific action of tile liver. )fe v c then comes the eul mini ling result, and (tic setting in, with all its distressing symptoms, of CONSUMPTION. The Mandrake Pills are csrnposod of one of Nature’s loblcsl ait’ls the I’odophillum Peita tiun. They possess all the blood-searching, alter Live properties of e I’.uimi, But unlike calomel, they “LEAVE NO S':' iNG BEHIND,” The work of is now beginning. The vitiated and mucous •lenosits in the lmwels and in the alimentary os a 1 are elected. The iver, like a clock, is ,v cur' sp. Il in-ouses fi an its torpidity. The stomach acts, resnonsivelr, and the patient begins to feel that he is getting, at last, A SUPPLY OP GOOD BLOOD. The Seaweed Tonic, in conjunction with the Pills, permeates and assimilates with the food. Chy]ideation is now progressing without its previous tortures. Digestion becomes oainless, and the cure f s seen to lie at hand. There, is no more flatulence, no exacerbation of the stomach An appetite sets in. Now comes the^ greatest ivjood Purifier ever yet given by an Indulgent father to suffering man. Sehenck’s Pulmonic, Syrup comes in to perform its functions and to hasten and com plete he cure. f ( enters at once upon its work. Nato e. 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 ! in a very short time the malady is vanquished, the rotten throne that it occupied is enovated and made new, and the patient, in aP .he 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 mist be prevented or a cure cannot be effected. Fresh air and riding out, especially in I his seel ion of the country in the .s inter season, are all wrong. Physicians who recommend tb it course, lose patients, if their lungs are badly diseased, and vet because they are in the house tb<*y must not sit down quid, ; ihev must walk about the room as much and n-s fa.-., a- the strength will hear, to go up a good _cire.nl ■ ion of blood. The patients must keep ir good spirits —be determined to get well. This ha- a great deal to do with the appetite, and is the great point to gain. Topicsoaii of cure after .such evidence of its possibility in the worst eases, and moral cer tainty in all others, is sinf'nl. Dr. Sehenck’s personal statement to the Faculty of his own cure was in these modest words : Many years ago 1 was in the last stages of consumption : confined to my bed, and at one t ime my physicians thought that I could not live a week; then, like a drowning man catch ing at straws, P heard of and obtained the pre parations which I now offer to the public, and they made a perfect cure of mo. It seemed to me that I could feel them penetrate mv 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 t into. As so,at as that began to subside my cough, l'cvei, p iin aid night sweats all began to leave me, and mv api-e<ito became, so great tl at it was with difficulty that 1 could keep from eating too much. 1 soon gained my strength, and have grown in flesh ever since.” “I was weighed shortly after my recovery,” added the Doctor, “then looking like a mere skeleton; my weight was only ninety-seven pounds ; my present weight is two hundred and twenty-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. J IT. Schenck. Jr., still continue tc sec patients at their office. No. 15 North Sixth street, Philadelphia, every Saturday from 9 a. m., to 3 p. m. Those who wish a thorough examination with the Respirometer will be charged live dollars. The Respirometer declares the exact condition of the lungs, and patients can readily learn whether they are curable or not. Tho directions for taking the medicine are adapted to tire intelligence even of a child Follow these diroctons, and kind nature will do the rest, excepting that in some cases the Man drake Pills arc to be taken iu 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 is the most welcome symptom. When it comes, as it will come, let tne despairing he of good cheer. Good blood at once follows, the dough loosens, the night sweat is abated. In a short time both of these morbid symptoms are gone forever. 'Dr. Schenok’6 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 ourer of coughs and colds, may be regarded as a prophylaeteric against consumption in any of its forms. Price of the Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed Tonic, $1.50 a bottle, or $7,59 a half dozen. Man drake Pills, 25 cents a box. For sale by all druggists and dealers. JOHN F. HENRY, EIGHT College Place, New York. WHOLESALE AGENTV Now Beef Market. A <4. B. VANDIVEBE has opened anew „ Reef Market, in the house formerly oc cupied bv W. J. Maubiy as a work-hop. on We ,t Main Street. UarfvrsvHle, and two doors West of Mr. Pickren’s Furniture Store, where he will supple the public, with fresh meats at any time from ilavlight to 9 o’clock, P. M. lie will also pay th i best t.rites for hues Caitiff and Hides, mar lti-wfini V O E T K V. Mule—Blanca. The mule stood on the steamboat deck, The land he would not tread. 1 They pulled the halter round his neck. And cracked him oe’r the head: But obstinate and braoed he stood, As born the sceue to rule, A creature of the hold-back brood, A stubborn, steadfast mule. They cursed and swore—-he would not go Until he felt inclined ; And though they thundered blow on blow, lie altered not his mind. The deck-hand to the shore complained, “The varmint’s bound to stay!” And still upon the critter's hide The souuding lash made play. His master from the shore replied. “The boat’s about to sail; As other means in vain you've tried Suppose you twist his tail— It’s likely that will make him land.” The deck-hand, b ave, though pale, The nearer drew, with outstretched hand, To make the twist avail. There came a kick of thunder sound ; The deck-hand—where was he Ask of the waves that for around Behold him in the sea l A moment not a voice was beard : But winked the mule his eye, As though to ask to him occured— “Now how was that for high ?” ‘!Just cut liis throat,” the captain roared, “And end the cussed brute!” But the noblest soul that perished there Was he who tried to do’t! Dow’s Idea oi* Heaven. A Washington correspondent of tho New York 'iribune furnishes au anecdote of Lorenzo Dow’, which is new and good. He says : My wanderings led me one day to an old grass-grown burying-ground just beyond the boundary liue of the city, near its northwest corner ; and here 1 found the grave of one whose saying used to to be household words among those of like faith with him self, but of whose burial-place scarce “any man kuowetb unto this day”— the grave of Lorenzo Dow. Here, in. ibis retired, uegh ced spot, that stor my, unquiet spirit found its rest. One ot the best atiecdoms of Lorenzo Dow Las. 1 believe, never been tu print. It was related to me by a gentleman whose father was a witness of the incident. Iu a small town in Western New Yuik liven n noted infidel, Col. Boot. There was no settled minister iu the place, and the people were dependent upou traveling preachers, principally Methodists. In those days Metho dist were not apt to be overburdened with learning, and Col. Boot, a man of fine education, familiar with Greek and Hebrew, made it a point to en gage every new comer iu an argument, from which he almost invariably came off victorious. His great weapon was t.De errors m the translation of the Bible, which Ihe Methodists, unable to read in the original, could neither refute nor explain. So many had been worsted in these encounters, that preachers were beginning to give this place the go by when Lorenzo Dow 7 appeared. Hearing of ihe arrival of another Methodist, Col. lloot propos ed to Lis intimate triend, Mr. Bush, they should “go down to the tavern and demolish this oue.” After a little preliminary skirmishing, the Colonel dashed into the subject of Heaven, which he considered one of the weak est points of the Christian faith, on ac count of the different views expressed regardiug it. “ You believe in a place you call Heaven, so of course you must know all about it. Tell us what kind of a place it is.” “No, I don’t pretend to know all about it.” “ Well, you think something about it, don’t you ?” “ Certainly, I have an idea of it.” “ Well, give us your idea; tell us what kind of a place your Hea ven is.” Tho keen, magnetic eyes fastened themselves upon those of the questioner, and iu slow, deliberate tones, Lorenzo Dow replied : “ Heav en, to my mind, is a broad, extended, beautiful plain, lovely and pleasant to the view, and where neither Root nor Bush can ever grow !” A Short I'arasjrapli on a Fong Subject. “Man wants but little here below, Nor wants that little long,” We have no reason to believe that Goldsmith ever thought of the many uses to which the above couplet could be applied when he wrote The Hermit. For example : in his day and time there were not so many long editorials in newspapers, long sermons, long speeches, and long harrangues of every sort its we have now. It has ever been a marvel to us how certain newspapers filled up with long twad dling articles from week to \yeek, on dull, dry, prosy subjects, can find enough stupid people to pay for them. It is a marvel hoYv a stump-speaker, whose harrangue is “ till sound and fury, signifying nothing,” can prevail on a crowd of men to listen to his nonsense for an hour or two at a time*, when every man in the crowd can leave any moment he pleases. These j things we do not understand, but we | veiy easily comprehend why twelve jurors will sit for hours list uing to n prosy speech by a dull lawyer— it is because they can’t help themselves! From the very same reason, well-bred people, who dislike to leave a church during service, submit to long, dull, dry, whang-doodle sermons. These are all great evils from which all sensible men implore deliverance, and they are without excuse. If a man has a message to deliver—any thing to ray or write—let him employ ibe fewest woid-s possible to eonvev his meaning, and there will be no reason to complain. We might amplify—we could write two or three columns on this subject —but having said enough to make out meaning clear, we clo e. lest we be ac cused of practising w hat* we deprecate in others. —Athens Watchman. [From tlio Now York Commercial Afivo’r Stli.f A German Nouicm*. The continued activity in the Ger man war establishment, since the close of tile campaign, shows that Bismarck has not much confidence in tho con tinuance of peace. The present con dition of Continental affairs implies reasonable apprehension; but it is the germination of a seed of German planting. Under the bauuer of Pan- Teutonish Germany, aided by Austria, she robbed Denmark of a large part of her territory, and the Gerinanancestry of the population of Alsace was the os tensible excuse for annexing that pro vince; Yvhile the unification of all tho German-speaking populations under German rule is said to be the ultimate object of the wily German Minister. As Germans compose a large portion of the population of the provinces of Russia and Austria bordering ou Ger many, the attempt to carry ou* such a policy would be, in effect, a declara tion of war. The prevalence of this Pan-Teuton idea iu Russia, intensified by the jealousy excited by the power and influence lately acquired by the German Empire, has created a lively excitement iu tlie Orthrodox Russian party, and as an offset to German ag giadisement, a Pan-Slavian movement has been inaugurated, or’ rather, re vivefied, for it has been a favorite idea with the Russians for some time. Such unification of Slave nationalities would include the Prussiau Poles. This is where it hits Germany, and her position is therefore not satisfactory, with Russian Pan-Slavism on one side, and French vengeance on the other. There can be no doubt that Pun-Sla vism is very popular in Russia, and that the movement has the sympathy of the Slave population in both Germa ny and Austria. The Russian newspa pers openly maintain that their race has a mission to fullfiill and that the Slave nationalities will only be satis fied when their unification has been brought about by the arm and in the interest of “the head stock of the Slaves.” In this complication, neither Russia nor Germany could reckon upon the sympathy of Austria, as her popula tion is largely composed of both Slaves and Germans. Germany would thus appear to be iu danger of having her own principles of annexation brought home to her, unless the tacit approval by the Russian government of Pan- Slavism be merely assumed to coerce Germany into cooperation with the Muscovite Eastern policy. Russian concessions to Germany in the Baltic might secure the latter’s neutrality, if not her active co-operation in a Russian annexation of Austrian terri tory. An inkling of something of this kind may have originated the leport of tlie imminence of war between Rus sia and Austria. Through tortuous Yvays, the aims of monarens have fre quently been reached by similar kinds of bargains, and such a secret under staading between the two great North ern powers would not be a cause of astonishment. A combination of this character could hardly fail, howevei’, to draw France to the ,id of Austria, and Italy and England could scarcely hope to escape tne entanglement. The end might be another change in the map of Europe, or the total extinction of monarchical governments. If the latter, the blood and treasure expen ded would not have been altogether in vain. Hard Luck. Says an editor ; “I went to a drug store early oue morning for a dose of morphine for a sick friend. The night clerk objected lo giving it without a prescription, evidently feariug I would destroy myself. * Pshaw,’ said I, ‘do I look like a man who would de stroy myself?’ Gazing at me steadi ly for half a moment, he replied ; ‘I don’t know. Seems to me, if I looked like you, I should be greatly tempted to kill myself.’ ” The Rome Commercial says a ma nia prevails among the juvenile Ro mans for running away to Tex«s. The editor says : “ Two of tliese pre cocious Marooncrs left their trundle beds three days ago, ami after driving a desultory existence on blackberries and persimmons, come iu Lust night aud surrendered to the inevitable spanking. They were ten to twelve years old when they left. They are older now by several spanks.” An old negro reported at the Atlan ta Constitution office last week that he w 7 as ninety-four years old, that he has had eight wives, find knows he is the father of sixty-four children. S. If. Smith <t Cos., Proprietor*. The Yugal»oit<l An old man of very active phvs*Hv» nomy, answering to the name of Wilruot, was brought to the Court. His clothes looked as though they might have been bought second hand in his youthful prime, for they suffered more from rubs of the than the proprietor himself. “What business ?’’ “None. I’m a traveler.” “A vagabond, perhaps?'’ “You an n<»t far wrong. Travelor uul vagaboi ds are about the sani3 thing. The dillerence is that the lato ter travels without money and the lat-er without l>rains.” “Where have yon traveled?” “AH over the continent.” “For what purpose ?” “Observation.’’ “What have you observed ?” “A little to eommeud, much to cen sure and a great deal to laugh at?” “Humph ! what do you commend ?” “A handsome woman who will stay at home; an eloquent preacher who will preach short sermons; a good writer that will not write too much; and a fool that has sense enough to hold his tongue.” “What do you censure ?” “A mau that marries a girl for her 6ne clothing; a youth who studios medicine while ue has the use of his hands; and the people who will elect a drunkard to office.” “What do you laugh at?” “I laugh at a man who expects his position to command that respect which his personal qualifications and qualities do not merit.” He was dismissed.— Herald. A Lunatic Kill* Two Inmates of the Asylum. A lunatic named Berry, who has been confined in ttie asylum at Wash ington city for some time, became ter ribly excited on Friday, and broke out of the room iu which he was con fined. Siezing a piece of board he rushed into the > ard and struck two of the inmates on their heads with the sharp edge, killing them instantly One of tiie victims was a woman nam ed Agnes Kimball, and the other a man named Richey. Berry being a powerful man, it required the combin ed efforts of several men to restrain him from further deeds of violence. Standing over uis bleeding and dead victims brandishing his murderous weapon, he for some time defied the efforts of the officers to capture him, while the wailing of the crazed but frightened inmates made up a scene that was appalling to the stoutest heart. A Young Girl Outraged and Mur dered. Little Rock , Augu<4 18.—L ist Mon day a farmer named Saunders, living near Wittsburg, Arkansas, was work ing in a field and his wife went to take his dinner, leaving a daughter, aged sixteen, at hom >. Returning an hour afterward, the daughter was missing. Search was instituted, but no trace was discovered until next morning, when one of the neighbors, who had joined in the search, found her lying iu the,brush, some sixty yards from'the house, with her throat cut from ear to ear, and fier body bearing unmistakable signs of having been out raged. The whole neighborhood was soon aroused and search for the mur derer began, but up to the latest ac counts no cine could be found. A ne gro living near was arrested on sus picion, but was subsequently discharg ed. A man who had purchased anew pair of shoes, finding the road to be a rather rough one, concluded to put the shoes under his arm, and walk home barefooted. After awhile he stubbed bis great toe, taking the nail off, as clear as a whistle. How lucky! what a tremendous lick that would have been for the shoes! A young lady recently married to a farmer, one day visited the cow-house when she thus interrogated her milk maid : By-the-by, Marv, which of these cows gives the butter-milk ? An Irishman leaning againt a lamp post as a funeral procession was pass ing by, was asked who was dead. I cannot exactly say, sir, but I pre sume it is the jentleman in the coffin. "What do great liars do when they die? They lie still. A besntiful lady was kissing and ca ressing her beautiful lap-dog : Ah, Maria ! exclaimed her foppish adorer, why not grant me the favors you are wasting on Fidele ? I do not kiss every puppy, replied the pouting fair. If “beauty draws us by a single hair,” who can withstand a modern • waterfall ? Why are spectacles like silly people.''
