Schenck's PuImOnIe syrup.

Seaweed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills will
cure Consumption, Liver Complaint, and
Dyspepsia, if taken according to the dfrec-
tions. They are all three to be taken at
the same time. They cleanse the stomach,
relax the liver, and put 1t to work then
the appetite becomes good ;the food digests
and makes good blood; the patient begins
to grow in flesh the diseased matter r1pens
in the lungs, and the patient outgrows the
disease and gets we'll. his is the only way
to cure Consumption.
To these thfee medicines DR.. j. H.
schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his unri-
vailed success in the treatment of Pulmo-
nary Consumption. The PuImonic Syrup
ripper the morbid matter in the lungs,
nature throws 1t off by an easy expectora-
tion, for when the phiegm or matter is
ripe slight cough will throw il off, and
the patient has rest, and the lungs begin
to heal.
To do this, the seaweed Tonic and Man
drake Pills must be freely used to cleanse
the stomach and liver, so that the Pull
monte Syrup and the food will make good
blood.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the
liver, removing all obstructions, relax the
ducts of the gall b adder, the bile starts
freely, and the liver is soon relieved; the
stools will show what the Pills can do; no.
thing has ever been invented except calo-
mel "a deadly poison, which is very dam
ge. GUS to use, unless with great care) that
will unlock the gan bladder and start the
secretlons of the liver like Schenck's Man
drake Pills.
Liver Complaint is one of the most
prominent causes of Consumption.
Schenck's Seaweed Tonic is a gentle
cffN TIuFn NJ off 10aA -
in the Seaweed, which this preparation is
made OF, assists the stomach to throw out
the Puimonic Syrup. and is made into
good blood without fermentation or sour
ing in the stomach.
DIR. Schenek, in his treatment, does not
or fever. Remove the cause, and they will
all stop of their own accord. No one can
be cured of Consumption, Liver Complaint,
Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Canker, or liberated
Throat, unless the liver and stomach are
made healthy.
When there is no lung disease. and only
Liver Com plant aud Dyspepsia, Schenck' Is
Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are
sufficient, without the Pulmonic Syrup.
Take the Mandrake Pills freely in all
bilious complaints, as they are perfectly
harmless.
DIR. Sehenc6, who has enjoyed uninter-
rupted health for many years past, and
now weighs 225 pounds, was wasted away
to a mere skeleton, in the very last Stage
OF Pulmonary consumption, his physt-
clans having pronounced his case hope
less and abandoned him to his fate. He
was cured by the aforesaid medicines.
Full directions accompany each, max
ing 1t not osolutely necessary to see DIR.
Schenck, unless patients wish their lungs
examined; and for this purpose he Is pro-
iessionally at his principal Office, Phila
delphla, every Saturday, where all letters
of advice must be addressed.

weed Tonic, each 81 SO per bottle, or 81 80 a

The DarIan Canal.

A letter from Panama says that the
interest felt there by all classes in the
proposed Isthmus Canal is very con-
siderable, and nearly all anxiously de-
sire to see this great work accom-
plished. A native of Panama. who
has been trading with Indians of Da-
rien for great many years, says that
route exists, known to but two per-
sons excepting the Indians who in
habit the country, which he claims is
by far the shortest, most level, and
best adapted for q canal that exists
on the Isthmus. He states that In
dams very frequently cross the 18TH
mus from ocean to ocean on foot IN
six hours. No elevations of any con-
sequence exist anywhere on the route,
and the harbors of both termini are
capacious and well protected. IF this
information should prove correct, it
would greatly reduce the cost of the
enterprise. 1t remains for Govern
ment to ascertain the truth of the
matter by a series of extensive and
surveys.

--LATEST CABINET NAMEs.-General
Grant is not only a good listener but
is a good eOnVersationalist. While
he has quiet way of finding out
what other people have to say of men,
he expresses his own opinions, espe-
cially if they be favorable, of the char
acter and standing of those who are
most before the public. Out of all
the drift, the wiseacres have at last
agreed that neither Charles Francis
Adams nor John Lathrop Motley will
be Secretary of State. but that Sena-
tor Sumner or Representative Bout
we'll will; that John A. Dix will be
Secretary of War instead of McClel-
Ian; that Senator o. P. Morton or
Morrill,, of Vermont, with the best
chance for the former), will be the

TIoN.-The New York Times says that
a memorial is being prepared for
presentation to Congress on the sub
ject of the naturalization laws, under
the joint auspices of the German Re-
publican Committee and the German
Democratic Committee of that city.
1t favors liberal measures of natural
ization, and is opposed to the restrie-
ton of the process to Federal Courts.
1t demands from Congress such alter
atoms of the existing laws as may be
necessary for preventing unjust and
illegal naturalization, and it pledges
for such regulations the active sup
port of the Germans of both political
parties.

THE Editorial Convention which
assembled at indianapolis on Thurs
day, transacted some very important
business, such as must reflect honor
on the profession. A resolution was
passed expressing sympathy with the
Editors of the Sentinel and Journal
in their contest with Judge CHAP
MAN, of the Criminal Court, who had
them fined for contempt, and prom
Using hearty cooperation of the ed
itors throughout the State in" bring
ing TO a decision by the Supreme
Court of the State!a positive and def
mite settlement of the rights of the
Press, and of the Bench under our
Constitution. The wording of this
resolution is ambiguous. and its pas
sage, under the circumstances, IN bad
taste, if not positively culpable. The
Supreme Court is in the habit, we be
lieve, of disposing of all cases that
come before it for adjudication, and
we can see no necessity for the
editors passing resolutions prom
ising cooperation in a movement
to obtain decision which
will be made just as promptly without
such cooperation. But the animus
of the resolution is in the expression
of heartfelt sympathy for the
Journal and Sentinel editors. and to
officially inform the Supreme Court of
the existeace of such sympathy. This,
if we mistake not, is a significant hint
to the Supreme Court that if a de.
cision adverse to the editors aforesaid
is rendered, the Court will no longer
have the sympathy and support of the
press. In other words. pressure
is brought to bear upon the Court to
influence its decision. We do not
indorse such proceedings. The Court
should be untrammeled. The Court
has already been subject to severe
criticism, for decisions which were
resumed-whether correctly or not,
we do not know-to have been in
fuenced by party considerations, and
the press of the State ought not to do
anything that has the appearance Of
influencing the Court to make de-
cisions favoring a particular class or
business. We think the resolution
was hastily prepared, and was passed
without giving the subject that con-
sideration its Importance merited.

WE apprehend that the men who
were instrumental in cutting the
canal reservoir at Port Gibson and
letting the water flood the country,
viii regret their conduct before the
Sammer ends. They have already
damaged property to a large amount,
destroying bridges, drowning stock,
aud making quagmires and swamps
out of valuable farms. During the
Summer the miasma which will arise
from the decayed vegetable matter so
loHg submerged must produce vast
amount Of sickness. Death, will, we
dare say, reap a rich harvest In the
neighborhood of the reservoir.

Postponement of Henderson County
Land Sale.


YKYHE UNDERSIGNED, WHO WE'RE
n appointed Commissioners by the Ken
lucky Legislature to Superlntend and con-
duct the % Henderson County Land sale"
of VIM. McLain, Esq, take this method of
annOu acing to the public that the drawing
of prizes in the enterprise has been post
poned until the LIST day of September, 1869
When, on the LIST of october last, the enter
prise was laid before the public, it was
confi8ently expected that 1t could be con-
cluded by the nth of January, 1869, the
day liked for the drawing; but several
causes, none of which were anticipated,
and which could not be controlled by the
Commissioners nor by the owner II the
property, combined to prevent it. Among
these we may mention the failure 10 OBJ
tain printed matter at the time contracted
for, the extreme strigency of the money
market, and the distI uSt in the minds OF
the people of enterprises like this, induced
by causes which are yet fresh in the recOl-
lection of the public.
Though tickets are now being rapidly
sold, a Sufficient number have not been
disposed of to justify a transfer of the
property without bringing loss upon the
owner.
The farming lands embraced in the en-
terprise, nearly eight hundred acres of
which are cleared and ttllable, will be
rented out for the present year-lSt9. Good
bonds for the rent will be taken, and these
bonds will be assigned to the persons who
draw the said farms.
The money for the tickets sold is ia the
hands OF the agents, and should any share
holder be dissatisfied with the postpone
ments his money will be refunded on the
presentation OF his ticket.
The undersigned think it Will not be
amlss to say, in this connection, that hey
have no pecuniary interest IN the above
enterprise, nor viii they have in the Iu-
ture. They Will not receive one cent for
their services, and they do not now, and
Will not at any time, own, hold, or control
q single ticket in the enterprise; nor one
dollar received from the sale of tickets will
be used by them, nor can the owner of the
property touch, use, or control any part of
It until after the drawing takes place; and
should the enterprise, by any Unforeseen
contingency, prove failure, all money
received from the sale of tickets will be
promptly returned on presentation of the
tickets to the agent from whom bought,

few days refined sugar has advanced
about 81 cents per pound, owing to

and holders of stocks are indisposed
