Interesting Disclosures.
Who has not heard Of the famous liniment
compounded and put forward by Dr. Kellin-
ger, for the cure Of oil troublesome diseases Of
the threat, the skin, the bowels, the head,
the heart, the liver, and God knows what
else The doctor recommends it in all the news
papers in New York, and in twothirds Of those out
Of it, daily and weekly, by certif safes that cannot
lie, and by examples that would convince the most
incredulous, of its wonderful efficacy and power in
every thing relating to the human system. DR..
Brandreth was famous in his day; DR.. Swain was
wonderful in his generation; but Dr. Kelinger com.
bines the genius of both-the power Of all and
prdes himself as much on his popularity and his in
fuence on the public health, as Napoleon did, in his
day, ever the military aristocracy Of Europe, or az
Bsrnum accomplished, year ago, among the show
men Of this great republic.
We would therefore recommend this wonderful
lniment to the serious attention Of those distiu-
guished musical personages who were concerned in
getting up the famous consert for the benefit of
poor Father Mathew. Their characters, their repu-
tations their good name, require the virtues Of some
wonderful iniment like this; and it can be found in
DR.. Kellingers Offices and agencies, here and else
where, every day and every hour. The more docu.
ments We receive indicating process of getting up
benefits in this city, the we are satisfied Of the
absolute necessity there lie that these distinguished
gentlemen, Messrs. Otis, Burkhardt, Bourn, Jouie,
Wardwell, and We don't knew how many others, all
require very heavy application of this Kellinger
iniment to their constitutions and to their several
characters In proof thereof we publish, in another
part Of this days paper, another series of these
very interesting documents, illustrative Of every
thing connected with the benefit in question, and
We hope it will be the last batch will be troubled
with, concerning the " merrie music of the benefit
and the missing funds accruing therefrom.
In looking over these documents from Messrs
Bourn, and Loder, and Wardwell, and Jollie, and
Burkhardt I've have not heard at all from Master
Otis,) We have underworld by every means in our
power to ascertain what has become of the money
taken on the night of the benefit and how the mat
ter WAS got up and managed by the various parties
who were interested in it. According to the docu.
ments which We frst published, and which were
signed by Otis and Burkhardt as the committee, it
appeared that the aggregate amount Of money yield.
ed by the benefit reached nearly the sum of two
thousand eight hundred dollars; but BY the latest
Improvements and additions to the accounts fur
nished by their associates in the business it seems
now that the whole amount in hand, after deduct
ing emendous expenses and bonuses to the vari
Gus individuals, only reaches the petty of 1907
not penny Of which ever got into the hands OF
Father Mathew. The authority Of Otis and Burk.

But II there 10 q discrepancy in the accounts con-
corning the proceeds from this benefit, according
to these various authorities, there be doubt
respecting certain items Of the expenses, which
several Of the parties, or coHuittee men, Is they
are called, appropriated their own share of the
spoils each according to his wants or services-we
do not know which. First, in regard TO Mr.. Burk-
bsrdt: according to the documents, he, 1t seems,
did all the work. No one claims the labor and
burden Of getting up the benefit bat himself 1t is
true that, in the INST statement made in the mat
ter, he signed himself as . committee man, but in
the las. account he denies being anything but a
working man. For these services he charges $50
in one item, - 10 another, and % In . third
These sums he may very justly merit, IT, according
TO his own account, he undertook all the work and
did all the putting and programmes We find that
Mr. Jollie likewise appropriated $50 to himself bat
for what We do not very clearly See, unlss it was
for rent, the basne. having been transacted in his
store. George Loder, the musician, also explains
his enormous charge, and thinks II Was very mode

the discovery Of the gold mines in California,

motive at all. II is one Of $50 to Mr.. Otis, one
Of the editors and musical critics of the Err

nothing in the business, but to lend the

and to sign his name to the first statement, indi-
eating large amount Of receipts at the concert,
which has been cut down most tremendously by
further statements and further subtractions, from
other quarters Of the story, to say nothing Of
the missing tickets not yet accounted for. What
