The Latest SWindle-Certain sancti-
monious charlatans would fain persuade the
world that diffusive stimulants have no me-
dicinal value, and that detestable Stops,
composed Of gripping acids and drastic pur-
gatives, are better tonics than the finest
vegetable Ingredients combined with the
purest and mellowest products of the still.
But this sort of thing won't go down. The
stomach Of our common sense rejects it, as
the physical stomach OF every man with an
undepraved palate rejects, with loathing and
adherence, the nauseous denominations,
"free from alcohol" which humbugs are
trying to thrust down the threats Of tenn
perance inValids under the pretense that the
filth will do them good. It is not likely
that while Plantation Bitters, the Standard
Tonic Of America, is anywhere accessible,
such sickening frauds can make such head
way, but it is as well to put the public on
their guard against them.

The InValid-A Pen Picture.-See
her pallid countenance, but short time
ago the picture of rudy health, the envy Of
the school and the pride of the household.
She was always welcomed by her school
mates, for her 1.-THE form and pleasing dis
position carried cheerfulness into their
ranks. Diligent, punctual and exemplary,
obedient and grateful at home, she won the
hearts of all. But alas, we are sorrowed.
Those rosy cheeks and rudy lips are blanch-
ed by consumption. The voice once so en-
chanting in laugh and song is feeble, husky
and supplanted by hollow cough. Let us
approach her couch gently and take her
hand. Do not shudder because of the fee
BILE and passiOnless grasp. The hand once
so hearty and plump is emaciated, and
shows bony outlines, while the chords and
tortuous veins are plainly mapped upon
the surface. The pulse that bounded with
repletion, carrying vigor to the whole sys-
TEN and imparting life, beauty, vivacity,
health and strength, is delicate to the touch.
The feeble heart cannot propel the thin,
scanty blood with force. Must we lose her
while yet in her teens? Companions and
friends gather around with words of cheer
and consolation, and depart with moistened
eyes and silent steps. Must we lose her?
No; there is a relief! We can stay this de-
stroyer of our happiness, and net suffer the
loss of so bright gem. Something more is
required now than dietary and hygienic OBJ
servance, for nature calls for aid, and she
shall have it. Take this pleasant medicine.
1t is invigorating. How it allays the irrita-
bic cough, improves the appetite and diges-
ton, and sends healthy Jingle through the
frame. The blood is enriched, nervous
force increased, and the heart bounds with
new impulse. See her face brighten by
degrees: the color is returning, her voice is
getting clearer, and pleasant words are
spoken. The strength falters yet, but is
gaining. Let us take her out In the warm
sunshine. In a short time she viii be able
to 60 without our aid, cheerful girl. This
delightful medicine must be God blessed.
1t is restoring heath to our loved one. She
is emerging from her sickness sweeter and
nobler than before, and DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery must have the credit. 1t
has raised her. Sold by all frst-class drug
gists everywhere. my7 deod1w&w1t

NEW AdYertisements.

We would call the attention of our read
ers To the advertisement of Mess rs. Stout,
Mills G. Temple, manufacturers of the cele-
brated American Turbine Water Wheels,
which will be found in another column.
The American Turbine Water Wheel oc-
cupies the front rank in the great improve
ments of the age. They have created a
revolution in water wheels, and conferred
a lasting benefit on the manufacturing in
terests of the country. In the place OF the
OversbOt or breast wheels, with their pom
derous gearing, which are very expensive,
and a constant annoyance to those using
them, the American Turbine comes as
welcome friend. Instead of wheels of 20
or 80 feet in diameter their Turbines of as
many inches take their place and perform
the same amount OF work (and in many
cases much more) with the same amount Of
water. They employ over $50 men, and
have received within the last ten days Or
ders for thirty-two of their water wheels,
which 90 to the following States; Tennes-
see, Georgia, Alabama, Virginia, Kentucky,
Colorado, New York, Massachusetts,, Mich
igan, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and Canada,
and one of their 20-inch to Mexico. They
also have wheels in Europe and Japan, and
are now making a drawing for large
wheel to 90 to South America. They
are running their works night and
day, and are now about to enlarge
their shops, which, when completed,
sEill be one of the largest shops in the coun-
tSy. Their facilities for manufacturing
mill machinery cannot be surpassed by any
house in the country. Any one in want of
wheels would do well to call on Mr. j. NJ.
Waldie, general agent, who is now exhibit
ing samples of the wheel at the Industrial
Exposition in this city, or Messrs. Jno. P.

most of them disposed of.
LAW CoURT-In the case of Isaac Litton,

cases tried, but none of any public import
ance.

summer Uniforms for the police.

We are gratiied to observe that the Board
of Aldermen, at its meeting last Tuesday
night, sustained proposition appropriating
$500 with which to purchase summer uni
forms for the police. This is an act of entire
Justice and deserved compliment to a
worthy and efficient body of men, who re-
ceive but meagre pay for the difficult and
often hazardous service they perform. We
hope to see this action of the Board of Al
dermen ratified by the Common Council, at
its meeting tonight, feeling fully assured
that our citizens generally will approve the
measure suggested.

CIos,Dr of Masonic Theater.

Owing to the want of patronage the
management closed this theater last night.
The company recently engaged will have
three benefits during the week, the first on
Friday night, the next matinee on Satur-
day afternoon, and the last on Saturday
night. These performances will be the last
at this place of amusement during the
season, and the company are interested in
having these benefits substantial ones.
Since the opening night the theater has
been but poorly patronized, and closing
thus rather suddenly, the members of the
company, all of whom are strangers here,
hope to realize a sufficient sum to take
them back to their homes. We hope they
NAV have good houses on these several
occasions.

street Car Accident.

About o'clock last night while one of
the cars belonging to the Spruce Street
Railroad was proceeding down Church
street, between Cherry and College, the
brake gave way, and being beyond the con-
troll of the driver, the car went down the
street at a more rapid rate than is usual for
street-car locomotion. Reaching the cor
ner of College, the car bounced the track,
and was ditched in the sewer in front of
Cheatham 81 Kinney's. A drunken man
passing along the street at the time was
knocked down, but not materially injured.
He, however, made miraculous scape.

''What's that, Bill?" The party of whom
the question was asked had this answer
ready, and it was almost correct. "That"

steam.' The reply was perfect satisfactory,
and the two trudged along in mute aston
ishment at the idea of mixing horses and
