This medicine, invented by DIR. J. FL.
SCHEECK, of Philadelphia, is intended to dis
solve the food and make it into chyme, the
first process of digestion. By cleansing the
stomach with Schenck's Mandrake Pills, the
Tonic soon restores the appetite, and the
food that could not be eaten before using it
will be easily digested.
Consumption cannot be cured by Schencks
Pulmonic Syrup unless the stomach and liver
is made healthy, and the appetite restored,
hence the Tonic and Pills are required In
Desrly every case of consumption. half
dozen bottles of the SEAWEED TONIC and
three or four boxes of the MANDRAKE
PILLS will cure any ordinary case of dyspep-
STA.
DIR. SCHENCK makes professional visits in
Eew York. Boston, and at his principal Office
In Philadelphia every week. See daily papers
of each place, or hls pamphlet on coDsump-
ton for his DAYS for visitation.

WESTON, THE Edward
Payson Weston, tie pedestrian, who
created somewhat of a sensotion in 1861
by walking from Boston to Washington
against time, averaging fifty-one miles
for the ten consecutive days, has been
pIttied against his old antagonist, to
walk from Portland, Me-, to Chicago.
H., a distance of one thousand two
hundred miles, in twenty six walking
days, for the sum of ten thousand dol
lars side The articles of agreement
provide that Weston is to perform his
arduous labor in thirty days, without
walking between midnight on Saturday
and midnight on Sunday; and is to walk
one hundred consecutive miles inside
of twenty four consecutive hours as a
part of the feat. The start from Port
land will be made between the first and
10th OF October. On this trip Weston
will pass through parts of ten different
states, and more than three hundred
cities and towns.

A Rnslness Ike CRurt,liD.

There is a story extant about five
minutes cOurtship between thriving
and busy merchant of watering place
in England and Ia6y for whom, in
conjunction with deceased friend, he
was trustee The lady called at bis
counting house, and said that her bust
ness was about accepting an offer of
marriage she had received n Nv for
the first time occurred TO the Bristol
merchant the idea of this holy estate in
his own case.
Marriage" said he listlessly turning
over some West India correspondence.
s'Wel / suppose everybody ought to
marry, though such a thing never Oc-
cured to me before. Have you given
the gentleman an affirmative answer"
"No."
"Are your feelings particularly en-
gagged in the matterP
''Not particularly.
s'Well then madam" said he turning
around on his ofiice-stool, elf that be
the case, and if you could dispense with
courtship for which / have no time, and
think YOU could be comfortable with
me, 1 am your humble servant COM
mand."
There were people who thought that
the lady had purpose in going there,
but if SO she prudently disguised it
She said she would consider the matter.
The Bristol merchant saw her out with
the same GOODNESS as If she was one of
his correspondents, and when she was
gone five minutes was once more i'm
mersed in letters and ledgers. A day
or two after he had communication
from the lady accepting his offer, very
considerably excusing him from an elab-
crate courtship, and leaving him to
name the "mOst convenient day."
They were married.

RECOVERED TREAsUREs.-At a large
hotel In an Atlantic city, one day, a
lively conversation arose over the fish
at dinner, and several of the guests re-
lated some extraordinary stories about
finding pearls and other valuables in
the entrails of fish, when an old man,
who had been quietly listening to what
was passing, broke forth with the fol-
lowing:
"When / was a young man, was
employed in large importing house in
this city, and, as usual with most per-
sons of my age then, fell in love with
certain young lady, and in due course
of time was engaged. About two
months before our marriage was to take
place. / was suddenly sent to Europe

was CHANGING over the morning papers,
which had been brought aboard by the
pilot boat, when, what should see but
an account of her marriage with an

The wife of the Prince of Wales
continues a great invalid, and it is
doubtful as yet whether the stiffness of
the knee joint can ever be overcome.
She has during her long illness COM
pletely won the hearts of all who have
come near her by her gentle patience
and cheerfulness. Her trouble arose
originally from her ignorance of the
English climate and from her love of
croquet. Notwithstanding the deli
cate condition she was in, she contin-
ued playing croquet when the early
dews had already begun to mingle, as
they do in that country, with the rays
of the suns last hour. Her children
may be seen occasionally enjoying the
parks. They are sweet little things but
very tiny.
1t is said that Saratoga has not
been 60 full of visitors at so late a pc
riod of the season, for some eight
years, as it is now. The proprietor of
one of the hotels has adopted the plan
of pitching tents in the grove which
surrounds his house for the accommo-
dation of some of his guests, who are
said very much to prefer such quarters
to the little dormitories of the crowded
hotel.

From the Louisville Courier, Aug 81
Yesterday morning, about one o'clock

to pieces by a gang headed by Charles
Collins. better known as collins, the
Oure." at a house of prostitution kept
nv one Madame Len Riley, on Latay-
cite street. The circumstances, as near
as We can gather them, are these: Col.
Inns was employed at the Academy OF
ATusic. as a general man in the variety
business. until within a couple OF
weeks past. when he went off eastward.
Returning on Wednesday, be was IN
formed by a meddlesome friend that
Can't who had been pal of his be
fore he went away, had been talking
about him. This led to some words
between the parties Thursday evening,
and led to Gault's insulting the party
who told Collins that he had slandered
him. Collins and his friend and party
Of young loafers were all on big drunk
on Thursday night, and attempted Gu
assault Gualt at the Ballard House
about IL o'clock p. NJ, but some per,
sons near by came TO his rescue, and
be got away from them.
About 10 o'clock yesterday morning,
after drinking around the city and get
ting quite drunk, the party, headed by
| Collins, went up to Madame Riley 6
with the express determination OF get
ting Gault out and beating him, and, II
he resisted, of killing him. They
/ knocked at the door of the bagnio, and
on their call being answered, sent word
To CAN'T to come down and join them,
rs they were going serenading. Gault
is a very good singer, and anticipating
no difficulty, but expecting TO settle up
the former troubles with Collins, he
came down stairs, and as he stepped
out they set upon him, stabbed him
/ five times iii the abdomen and side,
and beat him over the head with a club,
fracturing his skull His cries, and
those of the women OF the house who
tried to interfere, attracted the atten-
ton of tue police, and the party of as
sRssins fled.
Collins was arrested yesterday morn
ing by the police, and presented to the
CITY court, but his case was set for ex-
animation next Monday. Several other
members of the party were arrested
Yesterday, and committed TO the sta
ton house.
Gault was removed TO the city hospi-
tai, but his wounds are SO serious that
ne is not expected to recover.
