massive capstones, and about then
bases the fallen entablatares, wreath

the glittering sea around about this
lonely old temple on its patch of

moon appearing and disappearing as
it shows between the black columns
one moment, gliding their fittings,
and hides behind an intervening on
the next.
The temple glides away, and we
lose il and regret it. But shortly the
placid sea begins to assume chilly

iceberg, undermined with huge arches,
comes into view-then brilliant

The Three Remedies. "SCHENCH'S PUIs-
KoEIC SYRUP" for the cure of Coughs,
Colds, Bronchitis, and every form of Con-
sumption. The peculiar action of this med
icine ripens the ulcers In the lungs, pro-
notes the discharge of the corrupt matter
by expectoration. PuHfes the blood. and
thus cures Consumption, when every other
remedy fails.
"Schenck's sea-Weed Tonic" for the
cure of Dyspepsia or Indigestion, and all
diseases arising from debility. This tonic
invigorates the digestive organs, supplies
the place of the gastric juice when that is
deficient, and then enables the patient to
digest the most nutricious food. It is
sovereign remedy for all cases of indiges-
ton.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills. one of the
most valuable medicines ever discovered,
being vegetable substitute for calomel,
and having all the useful properties as
cribed to that mineral, Without producing
any of its Injurious effects.
To these three medicines DR.. ]. II
Schenck, OF Philadelphia, owes his un-
rtvaled success In the Treatment of Pull
monic Consumption. The Pullnonic Syrup
ripens the morbid matter, discharges 81,
and purif1es the blood. The Mandrake
Pills act upon the liver, remove all OBJ
structions therefrom, give the organ a
healthy tone, and cure Liver Complaint,
which IS one of the most prominent causes
of Consumption.
The Sea- Weed Tonic Invigorates the
powers of the stomach, and by strengthen
ing the digestion and bringing It to nor
mai and healthy condition, improves the
quality of The blood, by which means the
formation of ulcers or tubercles in the
lungs becomes impossible. The combined
action of these medicines, as thus ex-
planned, W cure every case of Consump-
ton, If the NEEDLES are used in time and
the use of the is persevered in SUFFICIENT

Midsummer NIGHTS Drcam in Boston.

Boston has resurreeted "Midsum-

after a more splendid fashion than
has ever been attempted with a
Shakesperian play in America before.
In consequence. Selwyn's theatre is
likely to be crowded for many COM
ing night. Some of the scenery in
this new wonder Is marvellous. In
one part Of the play the curtain rises
upon a spectacle something like this (:
In the foreground lake as smooth
and as CLASSY as a mirror; about its
borders a luxurious growth of trop-
ical plants; in the center very small
island, with one or two stately trees
on it whose roots are hidden among
blossorning plants-and both trees
and plants are faithfully mirrored in
the lake; beyond are two or three
similar islands, one behind. another,
and each CHASING itself In the water
the outlines Of the trees and rehec-
tions growing fainter and fainter in
thereceding distance; in the far back
ground the lake narrows to winding
river, which is soon lost among tow
ering mountains. All this in rich,
dreamy sort of twilight. e.s
Presently a mellow radiance be-
gins to sufuse the sky behind the
mountains; it grows, brightens, and
silver edge of the moon peeps
above distant, crag; in few mo-
ments the entire moon appears, casts
an amber glory over trees, islands,
lake and river--drifts behind a cloud
appears again--is lost behind erag,
but marks its course with a silver
edge as it moves along-then comes
out full in the heavens again, and
straightway its wrinkled and glitter
ing reflection comes shimmering
across the water. just as you have
seen a catspaW of wind mark it's ap-
proach on a river. 1t is enchant-
ingly beautiful. Nature herself could
not spirit away twilight more deity
and replace it with the tender luster
of the moon more happily.
Presently the scene become a 1.ano-
rama. The islands 90 drifting awav
out of sight, the lake grows broader
and broader, till its FURNISHED snrface
stretches away into an enchanfed
distance; and now its perfect natural
ness is made still more noticeable es
curves and shreds Of seaweed and
other trifes floating on its surface
drift into the quivering track of the
moon and are instantly lit up with n
bright sheen--and then drift ont
9gain and take the dull hue they had
before. Directly, right in the fore

NASHVILLE, July A.-The State Jour
nal publishes this afternoon letter from
Secretary Boutwell, to Mr.. Stokes, in
which he says that he is greatly int.
rested in the success of Stokes, believ-
ing that the future political character
and general prosperity of Tennessee de-
pend largely upon the continuance of
the Radical party in power. He regards
the supporters of Mr.. Stokes as the true
Radical party of Tennessee, and con-
dennis the Republican supporters of
Governor Senter, because they are allied
with the enemies of the Radical party.
