Private Medical Institute,

The young man wto experiences that growing
weakness in his muscular and mental organization,
should stop to consider whence it arises. He will
find in the weakness of the back, trembling of the
limbs, disordered digestion, unaccountabe failing
of the powers of the mind, dstaste for society,
dread of impending trouble, forebodings of evil,
sleeplessness troubled and lascivious dreams, ac-
companed by growing Deafness loss of muscular
power, and numerous other symptoms of disorgan-
zaton the positive traces of that most terrible and
destructive of all diseases, Seminal Weakness
wasting away his powers, destroying his hope of
life and manhood, and dragging him all the broken
some grave. To him who finds his life dribbling
ence in nocturnal and diurnal emissions the mere
cessation Of the of its appearance brings no
assurance of relief.
Marriage, that holy Office, thu safeguard and
hope of manhood, brings to such an one no hope of
cure, but adds to his misery in the knowledge that
the one who looks to him for much of her bappi-
ness, is victim of his evil, and an innocent com
panion Of his punishment. He adds to his misery
and disorder until hope leaves him. Consult then,
at once, physician whom long practice and care
full research has made thoroughly conversant with
every phase of the disease. Those who have be-
the victims of solitary vices, that dreadful,
fascinating and destructive habit, which fills thou
sands of sick rooms with paralytics and consump-
tives, and hundreds of untimely graves with its
misguided victims, should consult, without mo-
ments delay. one who will sympathize with their
sufferings. To such the Doctor would especially
address himself giving to each and all assurance
Of a PERFECT and PERMANENT CURE, with
out hindrance from business change of diet, or
fear of exposure.

@- Congress by a strictly Radical vote
has extended the time ofthe present Freed.

And for what? To feed, clothe and edu-

The ssCure AN.n

EE Tennessee has through her Legis-
lature adopted the Constitutional Amend
ment, and forthwith steps are taken in
Congress to admit her into the Union.
This Amendment means nothing more nor
less than Negro Suffrage. Though the
people of Tennessee are Rebels and Trai-
tors, deserving. in the opinion Of the Rad
icals, of the scaffold and coafscation only,
yet such is their anxiety to secure,for Sambo
the right of Suffrage that they are now
willing and ready to extend to these peo-
pie all their rights Of citizenship-to &C.
knowledge them as "loyaP people and
worthy of all confidence. All the States
latelyin Rebellion, will, like Tennessee,
be welcomed back, provided they adopt
this Amendment, or in other words, adopt
negro suffrage. That is the "cure all''-
the Panacea which is to purge them of oil
their sin of Rebellion, and to restore them
to all their rights and privileges of citizen

Scientific Observations of the Heat.

Professor LOOMS, of Yale College, makes the

the highest temperature known to have been OBJ.
served in New Haven since 1878, period of SO
years. The highest temperature recorded before
the present season was lO2 degrees, viz: June "a.
1864. Previous to this the thermometer had
been twice observed at l0l degrees viz: 1898,
and there have been three other cases in which the
thermometer has risen to lOC degrees, viz: 1881,
1900 and ls45, making i'll all seven known in-
stances in which the thermometer fairly exposed
in the shade has risen TO loo degrees and up.
wards. ss- - 5
The period just passed has been Quite as remark
able for the long continuance of extreme heat as
for its intensity. Within period ofeleyen isvs
the thermometer has risen Ue times TO s5 degrees
and upwards. Since 1913 there has been only
one other instance in which the thermometer has
risen to its height five times during the same sn
mer, viz: in l845, and these cases were snread
over an interval OF thirty-six days. During The
same period there have been but two other cases
in which the thermometer hrs risen to s5 degrees
as many as four times during the same summer
viz in l780 and 1898. .t ii'i'H
THE hottest month in New Haven since i77s
was The month of July, 1925. The heat of the
past thirty days has been somewhat higher than
that of Jaly 1925, so that we seem authorized in
asserting that the heat of the recent period has
been more intense, and the extreme heat has
been longer continued, than has occurred before
in eighty nine years, and probably for much
longer period.

Do you hear that. Boys3

' ESOn Wednesday of last week Gov.
Swami addressed a johnson meeting at
Frederick, in which he declared: 'that
whatever others may do, no existing power
can drive Lin into the radical camps, and
foretells that the result of this canvass in
Maryland will leave the radicals with O
very small squad, in fact not corporal's
guard; that the result will be such as will
amaze and astound those who have been
and may still be Union men, but who have
left their party to fee to the embrace Of
radicals" He says the results of tho
elections this fall will amaze and astound
our opponents. We guess he knows a
thing or two, and we know he can exer-
else q very considerable influence in pro-
ducing this result. Then cheer up-go
heartily to work. that his assertion may be
verified. Put in the "big licks" from
now until November ard as you live you

EgThe Boys in Blue" is a favorite
hobby with Pete. Pete thinks it strange
that they should affiliate with Democrats,
because, he says, Democrats called them
ugly names.
Gen. Mcclellan was one ofthe ''boys in
blue" and yet Pete and his friends exhaus-
ted the entire Billingsgate vocabulary in
applying to him ugly epithets. And now
Col. Cook, and others of the "boys in
blue" are stigmatized as "vagabonds"
"scamps" and stool-pigeons" by this same
Pete because they refuse to swallow the
the aforesaid Pete's cufy. Gen. McClel-
clan was one of the "boys in blue" and
yet such is Peto's hatred of him, that to
have voted for him is deemed matter Of
reproach and crime. ..

Stolen Property in rrivats Parlors.
The New York Observer relstes the cas-,
Of a citizen of Indiana, to whom bis nephew
had forwarded two French vases and som.
books, taken from the house Of Colone
Bird, of Baton Rouge. during the war;
The vases were beautiful, but it became
more and more painful to the Indianian t.
TO look at them. Said he.-
II never wanted them; my wife never
wanted them /; I felt like thief every time
I looked at themp' ~,
He set to work to find out the owner
and through the aid of the Masonic society
succeeded. To bis offer to restore the vases
Colonel Bird wrote touching reply:
eyes, he wanted the vases and The
books. It was all that was left--the only
link he had to bind the past to the present
Send them carefully; spare no expense
Such wrs the tenor of his letter. And
then his thanks and expressions of regard
for the kindness and tenderness that prompt.
ed such an act.
"Last week the vases and books were
packed and are now on their way to Bator
Rogue"
In view Of this circumstance, the Obser-
yer justly remarks:
"How many houses in this fair land
have this wedge of gold" in them? How
many are furnished outright from the plum.
der of the war? Some know. If there
is any one who can sleep easy under such
load, he deserves pity. This is we'll said
as it is well known that in many parlor,
choice articles may be found that were al.
stracted from Southern homes during ths
war. Choice books, mantle ornaments
pictures, and in some cases rare historica
paintings, have been sent North from cite.
in the far South. Elegant private residen
ces were despoiled of all that were dear a.
family mementoes. Even pianos and set.
of china were boxed up and sent off as wa,
trophies. How the cheek of the presen
possessor would mantle with shame if The
rightful owner should happen to sit at tes
in some house in this State, and find tha
he was served from dishes stolen from hi,
closet! and looking about the parlor o,

and paintings of great value that had beer

Admission Of Tennessee

ES- A resolution for the admission "a
their seats in Congress of the Representa-
tives from Tennessee was passed by the
lower house Of Congress and sent to the
Senate for concurrence. That body, how
ever, has adopted the following as q sub
stitute for the House proposition:-
Whereas in the year 1851 the govern
ment of the State of Tennessee was seized
upon and taken possession of by persons in
hostility to the United States, and the in
habitants of said State, in pursuance of an
act of Congress, were declared to be in q
state of insurrection against the United
States; and whereas the said State govern
ment can only be restored to its former DO
litical relations in the Union by the consent
of the law making power of the United
States; and whereas the people of the said
State did, on the 22d day of February,
1865, by large popular vote, adopt and
ratify constitution and government
whereby slavery was abolished, and the
ordinances and laws of secession, and debts
contracted under the same, were de-
clared null and void; and whereas State
government has been organized under said
constitution, which has ratified the amend
mont to the constitution of tho United
States abolishing slavery and ais, the
amendment proposed by the Thirty ninth
Congress. and has done other acts proclaim
ing and denoting loyalty; therefore.
BE it resolved BY the Senate and House
of Representatives. of tie United States, in
Congress assembled, That the State of
Tennessee ishereby restored to her former
proper practical relations to the Union,
and is again entitled to be represented BY
Senators Representatives and Congress.
The correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
in speaking of this action remarks
Movements of each House on Saturday
tend to complicate matters before them,
and cause delay OF adjournment. The
preamble to the Tennessee resolution, A.
dopted by the Senate, will cause delay and
another Executive veto. The Senate as
serts the principle upon which Congress
has acted this session, to wit: That States
which were lately in insurrection cannot
be recognized as members of the Union,
and entitled to representation as such.
without the assent of the Legislative branch
of the government President johnson
has considered and treated this assumption
as unconstitutional, and as sheer usurpa-
tion on the part of this Congress. OF
course: he cannot recede from this position.
Congress decides to assert and maintain
this principle in the Tennessee case, be-
cause it will be . precedent for their
action in regard to the other seeded States.
The Presidens cannot approve the Tennes-
see resolution. as modified by the Senate,
without yielding everything. on his part.
in bis struggle with Congress.

Removal and Appointment.

ES- The Board of directors of the Ha-
gerstown Bank, on Tuesday last removed
their former Cashier, Mr.. William M.
Marshall, and appointed in his stead Mr..
John Ii, Kausler, formerly Teller in the in
stitution. -....,. ...a.
This action was deemed necessary by
the Board on account of the Cashiers scare
less, Indifference to the welfare of the Bank
for his official neglect and incompetency
for sacrificing its interests to the promo
tion ofhis own--for attempting to force it
into the muddy malestrom of party poll
tics, and for his evident hostility and dis
courtesy to the Board"
In reply to these charges Mr.. Marshall
occupies three columns of the Herald, !"
in which if he fails to exculpate himself, he
has certainly entirely succeeded in estab-
fishing Mr.. Romans reputation as an ac-
eomplished financier. We think the stock
holders of the institution may congratulate
themselves upon having secured the servi-
ees of an officer SO eficient---one who is
not only able to rescue the Bank from
the brink Of ruin and restore it to O
healthy and prosperous condition, with a
large surplus fund, after paying liberal
dividends. but also to provide handsomely
for himself and overcome the blunders and
awkwardness of his Cashier.
Pete comes to the rescue Of the ''loyap'
and deficient cashier of thirty-fve years
standing" and devotes several columns to
his defence. He, of course. knows all o.
bout it. Not long since Pete was his de-
famer, was not on even speaking terms
and had very confused ideas, to say the
least, of his efficiency. Perhaps however
he is right-the error in the count of that
hundred dollars may have been because of
his own inefiiciency.

h Talks aright eout in lreetia. n
H0ur friend Pete's friends way down
in Vermont talk fright eout in meetin'. 4"
They have, "a =
Resolved, That while approving the
constitutional amendment lately proposed
by Congress as present practical meas
ure so'oard securing just ends, we yet in
sist that every scheme of restoration is i'm
perfect that is not based upon equal and
exact justice to all and the equal rights,
personal. eip1 and political, of all loyal cit
izens, irrespective Of color or race. '.
A little further North in New England
we discover Pete has friends. also, from
whom. perhaps, he'd like to hear. For
his benefit we record their views. They
are African all over. but then they are the
doctrines Of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence as they interpret it. They say:
Resoleed, That the Union party of Maine
plants itself upon the doctrines of the Dec
laration eff Independence, and that zoe hos,l
that all men sotthom distiaction, of color or
race are entitled to the utmost civil and DO
litical rights.
Now these are the sentiments the
platform of the Union party of Maine and
Vermont. Pete claims that the 1 Radical
party here is the Union party. II this is
so then these are their sentiments, or there
must be two Union parties or two.sets of
principles for the same party.sssPete says
the Union party here are not for equal
political rights. Which is it Pete-two
cts of principles or two parties.
