With their pretzels aud beer the apare momenta

Hans purchased a horse of a neighbor one day,
Aud, lacking part of the Geld— as they say—
Made a call upon Frit* to solicit a loan,
To help him pay for hia beautitul roan.
Fritz kindly consented the monoy to lend.

THE tiHEkT GAIKEM CARE.
MitS. GAINES TRIUMPHANT.
Judge Billings rendered yesterday
a long, able aud deeply interesting
decision in the Gaines ease, which,
as it involves several millions of dol
lars and the validity of the titles to a
large amount of real estate in this
State aud city, was listened to with
great interest by a large audience.
Prominent in the audience was the
lady plaintiff and claimant, calm and
seli-possessed, but closely attentive
to every utterance of the judge.
The decision is a full recognition of
all the claims of Mrs. Gaines, as the
legitimate child, aud heir under the
will ot 1813, of Daniel Clark.
The narrative of the facts and
proof of the validity and reality of
this last will has all the elements of
a thrilling romance. Judge Billings
does full justice to it in his elaborate
statement. The various witnesses.
Messrs. Srnythe, Bellechasse, De la
Croix and Boisfontaine, are all vivid
ly sketched, and the impressive
scenes attending the reading of this
will by Clark in his last illness are
reproduced with dramatic effect.
The conclusions reached are a-full
recognition of all that has been
claimed by Mrs. Gaines in her long
litigation for the last fifty years.
The defendants are even deprived of
of their last defense in the good faith
of their purchases under the will of
1811, after every effort bad been made
to discover and probate the will of
1813. This prescription of many
years does not avail them. The de
cree of the court requires them to
account to a master in chancery for
all the income from this property
during their long possession. They
are ousted from their titles and from
all the accumulation therefrom.
This is very hard on these innocent
parties, who, though not in view of
the law legal or equitable owners,
have for so many years believed they
were, and who gave full value for
their purchases. Many persons will
lose their all by this judgment. Up
on this city, which sold a large
amount of this property with a full
warranty of the title, against the ad
vice and veto of the Mayor, this de
cision will fall very heavily. Al
ready large judgments have been put.
in execution against the securities of
the city on appeal, which have given
great vexation to the citizens who
subscribed the appeal bonds.
Of course this decision is not final.
The case will be appealed to the Su
preme Court of the United States,
where, owing to the encumbered
c mdition of the docket, it can hardly
be reached before three years or
more. What the decision of the
court of last resort will be in this im
portant ease we will not venture to
predict-at least not before having
carefully studied the opinion deliver
ed by Judge Bfllings yesterday
morning.— N. O. Democrat.
People who contend that the country
must return to the simplicity of the fore
fat h :rs had better lead the way by eating
johnnycakeand wearing hind patches on
their pants.
Ooiml Advice.
Now is the time of year for Pneumonia,
Lung Fever, &c. Every family should
have a bottle of Boschee’s German Syrup.
Don't allow for one moment that cough to
take hold of your child, your family or
yourself. Consumption, Asthma, Pneu
monia, Croup, Hemorrhages, and other
fatal diseases may set in. Although it is
true German Syrup is curing thousands
of these dreaded diseases, yet it is much
better to have it at hand when three do
ses will cure you. One bottle will last
your whole family a winter and keep you
safe from danger. If you are consump
tive, do not rest until you have tried this
remedy. Sample bottles 10 cents. Reg
ular size 75 cents. Sold by your Drug
gist.

lr. schenrk's Standard Rrm(-dies.
The standard remedies for all diseases
of the lungs are Sehenck’s Pulmonic Syr
up, Sehenck’s Sea Weed Tonic, and
Sehenck’s Mandrake Pills, and if taken
before the lungs are destroyed, a speedy
cure is effected.
To these three medicines Dr. J. H.
Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his unri
valled success in the treatment of pulmo
nary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the mordirt
matter in the lungs; nature throws it off
by an easy expectoration, for when the
phlegm or matter is ripe a slight cough
will throw it off, the patient has rest and
the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this,
Schenek’s Mandrake Pills and Schenck’s
Sea Weed Tonic must be freely used to
cleanse the stomach and liver. Schenck’s
Mandrake Pills act on the liver, removing
all obstructions, relax the gall bladder,
the bile starts freely, and the liver is re
lieved. „
Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle
stimulant and alterative; the alkali of
which It is composed mixes with the food
and prevents souring. It assists the di
gestion ky toning up the stomach to a
healthy condition; so that the food and
the Pulmonic Syrup will make good
blood, then the lungs heal, and the patient
will surely get well if care is taken to pre
vent fresh (Slid.
All who wish to consult Dr. Schenck,
either personally or by letter, can do so at
his principal office, corner of Sixth and
Arch, streets, Philadelphia, every Mon
day.
Schenc’ks Medicines are sold by all
druggists throughout the country.
