sCHENCz.s sEAwEED TONIC.

This medicine, invented by DIR. ]. n.
Schenck, of Philadelphia, is intended to dis
solve the food and make 1t into chyme, the
first process OF digestion. By cleansing the
stomach with Schenck's Mandrake Pills, the
Tonic soon restores the appetite, and food
that could not be eaten before using 1t will be
easily digested.
Consumption cannot be cured by Schenck's
PulmOnic Syrup unless the stomach and
liver Is made healthy and the appetite restor-
ed, hence the Tonic and Pills are required in
nearly every case of consumption. A hall
dozen bottles of the SEAWEED TONIC and
three or four boxes of the MANDRAKE
PILLS will cure any ordinary case OF dys-
pepsia. ..s.f 81
DR.. schenck makes professional visits in
New York, Boston, and at his principal office
in Philadelphia every week. See daily pa

sumption for his days for visitation.

The Cincinnati Gazette has the fol-
lowing remarks upon the law regulat-
ing the rate of interest in Ohio. The
views put forth havea general bearing
upon all such laws In every State in
the Union. We quote them as follows:
The per cent. interest law now in
force in Ohio, is not only humbug but
a nuisance. Nobody pretends to loan
money at per cent. While Govern
ments can be bought which bear D per
cent. in gold, or Z 3 10 in currency, ana
at the same time are free from local
taxes, a man would be set down as a
fool, who would loan money on COM
mercial paper or mortgage notes, at
par cent Men who have money are
not fools; consequently money is not
loaned at per cent. II bankers should
loan money at per cent, with the
taxes they are required to pay and the
heavy expenses incurred in carrying on
business, they could not make their
salt Therefore they do not loan money
at 3 per cent. To this extent the per
cent. interest law is humbug.
1t Is nuisance because while it is a
dead letter, it serves to drive capital
from the State. In New York the legal
rate is Z per cent. In Massachusetts,
the Legislature lately enacted the free
trade principle. Here, with our per
cent. EeStEICLlOuT capitalists elbueI eNduS
the law or send their money abroad for
investment. When the law is evaded,
something must be charged for the
risk. Therefore, money that could be
borrowed at or per cent, if either
were the legal rate, now costs to u
per cent.
In the face of these plain facts, against
which it would be useless to argue, the
lower House OF the Ohio Legislature,
yesterday, defeated the interest law,
which had previously passed the Sem
ate.
Inc Preluulcs oy Wnlcn some minus
are bound on this subject, is SO deeply
rooted that it would be hopeless task
to undertake to break the stubbornness
that holds them to this foolish position.
We suppose the 6 per cent. interest law
will stand until the people elect men
to the Legislature capable of taking a
sensible and practical view of the ques-
ton.

English novels of all grades, from
'tPendenniS" down, have heroes who
spend more than their allowance at col
lege, but we have never found in any
fiction such good illustration of the
phrase cover head and ears in debit"
as one just related by the Pail Mall
GGzette. Henry Prescott, an under
graduate of the University of Oxford,
applied to the commissioner Of bank
ruptcy for discharge. His debts were
E30l7, his assests $50. His expenditure
during his three years residence at the
university had been 1900 a year, while
ms father, a clergyman, had allowed
MN *lSO year. The Pail Mall GG<ette
uses this instance to draw attention TO
the neglect of the college government
10 perform its duty, since the annual
expenditure of $1,000 by clergyman's
son was an operation which could not
well be hid under n buahel.

GREAT BRITAIN managed last year to
make clear profit upon her revenue,
above all expenses, of s2,5OO,O 900. The
circumstance is considered noteworthy,
and 1T may encourage her financiers to
make some effort to pay OF the nation-
al debt. So small sum as two mil
lions and half of pounds, put into a
sinking fund, and added to yearly at
the same rate, would become in time
quite respectable in amount, and If the
present generation would obtain no adj
vantage from the investment, the next
might. Great Britain could add large
ly to her means by reducing her ex-
penses, but such a contamination is
not to be hoped for as long as the arts.

The people, If they could have the au-
thority, would lop of many expendi-
lures which are relics of ancient cor
ruption, which seem to be permanent.
Until parliamentary reform, however,
is effected, not uOmiuslly but really,
very little Improvement can be expect
ed in the management of British finan-
eial affairs, and it may take a century
to gain the advantages in government
which the masses ofthe Englf sh people
have never been allowed TO possess.

The Ohio House of Delegates, as no.
ticed in our dispatches yesterday,
passed on Wednesday the resolution
extending suffrage to negroes and dis
franchising rebels and deserters. Mr..
Welsh, of Belmont, voted for the reso-
luton. Mr.. Davenport, the other del
egate, announced himself opposed to
it, and retired before the vote was TIA
ken. The Cincinnati Gdzette, of yester-
day, in commenting on the vote, says:
The House of Representatives yester-
day passed the Manhood Suffrage reso-
luton, which had previously been
adopted by the Senate, with an
amendment DISTINGUISHING rebels
hardly to be expected. 1t is not
the less acceptable on that ac-
count. When the Democrats made the
Constitution of Ohio, it was intended
by its trainers that it should not be
changed until the specified time for
holding a new convention. To this end
II was provided that il should require a
three tfths vote of the Legislature to
submit to the people proposition to
amend the Reconstruction. 1t then seem
ed almost certain that such avote could
never be obtained, especially on a
question of political Importance. If
any one had predicted when the
Constitutional Convention was in
session in this city seventeen years
ago, that at any future time, three-tifths
of the Legislature could be obtained to
vote ia favor of manhood suffrage, he
would have been counted insane. But
war creates great necessities, and neces-
sites bring about wonderful changes in
public sentiment. Il became necessary
to destroy slavery, and, therefore, It
was destroyed. Then it became neces-
sary to force manhood suffrage upon
the late rebel States, and 1t was done.
The Union party having gone thus far
having prescribed this condition for
the South, could notleonsistently with
hold the ballot from the colored man in
Ohio. Therefore, three-tifths of the
members of the Legislature have voted
to submit to the people the question
of striking the word white from the
Constitution.

10 Ladies Who wear
ChignOns.

ChignOns.
A desperate struggle is being made
by those who have considerable seIf-in-
terest at stake to stifle the truth in re-
gard to the ill effects of several artiti-
cial practices of adornment which are
supposed to enhance the conventional
beauty of the fair sex. There are still
greater risks to be apprehended than
those we have already pointed out in
the use of artificial hair. The fact that
very large amount is originally stud
ded over with the egg-bags of the COM
mon pediculus, is One,of the best evil
dences that the individuals from whom
the hair has been obtained were
strangers to habits of cleanliness. In
much OF the hair that comes into the
English market, especially that of a
lighter shade, the distal half of the
shaft is dotted over with what are gem
orally regarded as "nits." These are of
two kinds: the one attached literally
oVa remains; and a second form which,
surrounding the hair, is difficult
to detach (more difficult than the
true "nits,') and may be found
on hair that has been prepared
and cleansed for sale. The latter is
nothing more or less than a collection
OF vegetable sporules or cells similar to
those which are found in the various
forms of ringworm. They are not de-
stroyed by many of the processes to
which the hair is subjected in its prepa-
rationi and there can be no doubt that,
when placed upon a favorable soil /,
they would speedily grow and produce
serious disease. Fortunately the scalp
of adults does not form a indus for
these parasitic germs, but in some in
stances scurfy disease of the scalp there
is reason to think they are the true
cause of mischief. In the case of the
young it cannot be doubted that ring
worm would be produced by their
growth; and the fact is certain that
many ladies carry about with them
in their "ehignons" the seeds of the
''ringworm" an intractable malady.
There is also novel species of false
hair in the market; it is called Church
yard hair" and consists not only of
the shafts but the roots also, and hence
must have been pulled from the scalp
OF the dead la horrible idea, and one
that should certainly make ladies re-
volt against the present absurd and
uncleanly fashion.-LGncet, March 2,

The Coming War.
FLoDl the World.

from the World.
All the indications in Europe point to war
this summer between France and Prussia.
The speeches in and out of Parliament, the
newspapers, the state of trade the stock lists, all
furnish evidence that the conflict is considered
inevitable. Not that the Emperor Napoleon
wants to fight; he would avoid it if he could
with honor. Personally, he is far from well,
his army is not prepared, the French needle
guns are not yet ready, and the Exposition is
nnder way; but events will not wait. The
French people are in a passion of wounded
national vanity, while Prussia is insolent, ina
periOus, and evidently determined to force a
fight. Bismark seems to be of opinion that
blows from without are essential to the con-
solidatiOn of the great German power he has
called into being. He insists that France shall
not have Luxembourg, his King threatens the
French Emperor in a speech from the throne,
while the needle-guns swarm on either bank
OF the Rhine.
But if war takes place, what them On
which side will victory incline! The event
alone can answer these queries. 1t is only
certain that the French Emperor has had a
run of ill-luck for the past two years, while
fortune has favored his rival.
Russia also seems to be uneasy, and not
unwilling to take advantage ofthe Luxembourg
imbrogliO to seize Constantinople. Some of
the news we publish has a look that way.
AT any rate, 1867 promises to be memorable
in the annals of Europe,
