-"Five Minutes for Refreshments"
Everybody who has travelled by rail
road has heard the above announce
ment, and has probably suffered from
eating too hastily, thereby sowing the
seeds Of Dyspepsia. 1t is a comfort to
know that the Peruvian Syrup will
cure the worst cases Of Dyspepsia, as
thousands are ready to testify.
1t is said that if apuif of air were

death would instantancously follow,

and whenever this circulation is impe-

The Pulpit on Chicago.

When the sad news came across the
Atlantic that the brilliant genius Of
Mr.. Alger was perhaps consumed by
the fires Of insanity, we certainly eX-
oected that some praise God Bare
bone" would declare his misfortune a
divine retribution for 4 perversion of
that eminent thinkers bright talents,
AS yet, as far as we know, the public
have been spared any such shocking
and disgusting proclamation. Again
when the prosperous Chicago was
swept away in the whirlwind Of flame,
the sorrow-stlicken world looked for
comparisons between its fate and that
of the desolated cities Of the olden
plains. Nor in this expectation were
the people deceived. Two Boston
ministers, who had opened their path
way Of blasphemy by strewing ashes
over the grave Of the greatest English
writer since Shakespeare's time, full
minated from their pulpits with all the
assumed prophetic denunciations Of
jeremiah and Isaiah Outside Of our
country even Montreal paper said:-
"Chicago has long gloried in her
wickedness she is now reaping the
fruits. 1t would almost seem, from
reading the above, that no catastrophe
can happen without some false religion
lists claiming it as Judgment Of God
on the wickedness OF the sufferers. -
They must needs call Chicago "the
Babylon" of the West, and inaugurate
similitudes between it and Sodom and
Gomorrah. When will superstitious
bigotry cease? Such men said that
Lincoln was killed because he went to
theatre. How, then, account for the
death of twenty-five persons lately
killed by lightning while kneeling in a
church at Bolougne
But what is the true reasoning on
the subject ? Common sense people
go no further back in causes and Sc
quences than to say that Chicago was
burned because the fire, started by a
cows kicking over kerosene lamp,
could not be extinguised by the fire
department. The forces of nature
operate as well on the just as on the
unjust. If natural laws are violated
by saint or sinner, every one knows
that the same consequence follows
Let the world read a lerson of SYM
patty rather than Of angry providentl
al judgment. But our sanctimonlous
brethren can get out of any corner
they are driven into with some biblical
text. If Brother Fulton's ''Temple"
should be burned, he would console
his flock with the consolatory passage,

That Prediction.

We find in some Of the papers q
prediction made'by that immaculate
political martyr, Gen. Benz, f. Butler,
sometimes called "BeasL" Butler
That she considered it doubtful wheth-
er the Democrats would nominate next
year any candidate for the Presidency"
Butler is not much of Il man to make
political or any other prophecies, and
when he does they are not entitled to
any respect whatever. As regards
his prediction just quoted, we have
only to say that the Democratic party
which is the only sure hope Of the
country-will not only then nominate
true blue candidate for the Presidency,
and the Vice Presidency, but in
tends to elect them too The bitter
experience of the opposition party IN
electing political traitors to Office
such as Tyler, Johnson, and Others,
should learn the Democracy to nomi-
nate only reliable men. The Demo-
cratic party prefers defeat rather than
to elect any other but true and honest
men. OF this fact our Republican
brethren, B. f. Butler included, may
rest assured.

After large practice in the treatment Of
the Lungs and Blood, and having learned by
sad experience that malades Of this kind
could not be reached by medicines taken into
the stomach, DR.. a. j. Flngg's attention was
called to the consideration Of the Importance
Of some means OF applying remedies directly
to the sea: of the disease to be aicviated or
cured. After much study auda long series Of
experiments, he has succeeded in producing
new article in the long list Of remedies,
which will cure almost every form OF disease
Of the Blood, Throat and Lungs Catarrh,
Asthma Bronchitis and Consumption yield
to it more readily and naturally than to any
othcrknown remedy. This medicine goes d.
rcCtly to the immediate seat of the disease,
and its beneficial effects are ut once manifested
1t requires but little reflection to lead an i'll
tcligcnt man 10 the conclusion that diseases
OF the Lungs or Blood are no more to he
cured by taking medicine into the stomach
than Il diseased foot Is to be cured by the am.
putation Of q hand or IN arm.
The lIcdicatcd InhaIing Balm
Was first prepared with view to the cure of
Catarlh, and kindred diseases Of the Throat
and Lungs ; but il has since been used for al
most all diseases of the Blood, with success
far beyond any expectation Of the disenvcrcr.
1t is brcathcd directly into the lungs, and
through them is carried into the blood, de-
composing the impure matter, and CNpclling
it through the pores of the skin. Its effects
are almost Immediately pcrccptib'c, and but
few applications are necessary to accomplish
