SeSweed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills will
cure Consumption, Liver Complaint, and
Dyspepsia, If taken according to the direc-
tions. They are all three to be taken at
the same time. They cleanse the stomach,
relax the liver, and put it to work; then
the appetite becomes good; the food digests
and makes good blood; the patient begins
to grow in flesh; the diseased matter rIpens
in the lungs, and the patient Outgrows the
disease and gets well. This is the only way
to cure Consumption.
To these TIN ee medicines DR.. J. H.
Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his unri-
vailed success in the treatment of Pulmo-
nary Consumption. The Pulmonic Syrup
ripeL the morbid matter in the lungs,
nature throws it off by an easy expectOra-
tion, for when the phIegm or matter is
ripe a slight cough will throw it of, 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 Pal
monic 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 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 Ga deadly poison, which is very dan-
gerous to use, unless with great caTe) that
| will unlock the gall bladder and start the
secretions 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
/ cfi mn "a nj and a IA
in The Seaweed, which this preparation is
made of, assists the stomach to throw out
the gastric juice to dissolve the food with
the Pulmonic Syrup. and is made into
good blood without fermentation or sour
ing in the stomach
DIR. Schenck, in his treatment, does not
try to stop a cough, night sWe.'ts, chills
or fever. Remove The cause, and they viii
/ all stop of their own accord. No one can
be cured of ofConsumptlOn Liver Com plant
Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Canlzer, or liberated
Throat, unless the liver anu stomach aTt
made healthy.
When there is no lung disease, and only
! Liver Com paint aud Dyspepsia, Schencki
Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are
sufficient, without the Pulmonic syrup
Take the Mandrake Pills freely III al
bilious c~mplaints, as they aae perfectly
harmle- S.
DIR. Schenck, who has enjoyed uninter
rupted health Tor many years past, am
to a mere skeleton, in the very last stag
OF Pulmonary consumption, his Physl
clans having pronounced his case nope

OPERA HoUsE.-Another large and
fashionable audience was present at the
Opera House last evening, to witness the
production of Byron's famous operate
burlesque, called Cinderella or the
Lord, the Lacquey and the Little Glass
Slipper" Miss Blanche Chapman per-
sonated Cinderella ;" Miss Ella Chap
man, Dandini;" Miss j. Parker,
Fairy Queen y Miss Emily R. Lewis,
" Honeydew ;" G. B. Bishop, the gush-
ing Clorinda," with the other charac~
tiers we'll distributed. All were admit
rably up to their parts, especially the
young, beautiful, and irresistible Chap
man Sisters, and the inimitable Bishop.
These completely carried the whole
house with their dash, sprightliness,
sparkling repartee, and delightful wit.
The repeated outbursts of admiration
gave evidence Of the high appreciation
of the entertainment by the audience.
There were hundreds of ladies present,
whose brightest eyes softly flashed es-
TEEN for the superior rendition of the
piece, and admiration for the eminent
beauty of those exquisitely brilliant ar
tistes, Blanche and Ella Chapman. Yes,
even the ladies enthusiastically ex-
claimed their beauty and fascination,
much less the legion of gentlemen pres
ent who We're doubtless carried away
with the soft, engaging " twinkle" of
those charming little "stars." In con-
templating the vast assemblage of La
dies, the marked contrast between it and
the meagre auditorium of a few men
and fewer women that went to see Gin
drella, as produced by Whitman, forci-
bly, occurred to us. 1t convinced us
more than ever of the true effeminacy
and refinement of our women, who
God bless them ARE ever ready to re-
ject the profane with modesty, and to
sustain moral worth with becoming dig
nifty, admiration, and reverence. To-
night will be presented Byron's operat-
ic burlesque of Fra Diavola; or The
Beauty and the Brigand.' The en- ter~
tainment will conclude with Bishops
speciality, entitled Wanted ii 900
Young Milliners.

following business in regard to the Ta1
Bill was transacted
Mr.. Oldfeld read draft of new
tax bill, drawn up by the committee
and as chairman of the committee, made
favorable report upon the bill as
drawn up. The report was received.
Mr.. Oldfeld made few remarks
urging the adoption of an ad valorem
tax.
Mr.. Carlow took the floor urging the
adoption of the bill, upon the ground
that the new constitution was in favor
of it, and it 1.-THE constitution would un-
doubtly be adopted.
The tax bill was then taken up by
sections.
In the second section the amount of
tax per cent. was left blank, for the pur-
pose of getting the sense of the Counsel
thereof
Mr.. Croft moved to fill the blank with
the words, Il 40 per cent"
MIR. Jones moved to amend by insert
ing" per cent"
The President vacated the chair, and
after some remarks relative to the mat
ter moved to still further amend by in
serting "1,75 per cent" upon real es-
tate.
The vote was taken on the adoption
Of the motion Of Mr.. Croft, fixing the
tax at ], 40 per cent, and the ayes and
noes being called for, was adopted.
In the 18th section, the tax ON tele-
graph companies was increased to $100
In the 10Th section, concerning gun
powder, it compels every person hav-
ing it for sale to exhibit sign, in let
tiers not less than three inches long,

As premium for the prompt pay
ment of taxes, it was ordered that in all
cases where the tax is not paid previous
to the Oath of August, an addition of
per centum shall be made thereon, and
if paid previous to that time, deduc-
ton of five per centum shall be made,
if paid before the Oath of July, and
reduction of three per cent, if paid be-
tween that time and the Oath of Au-
gust.
