Consumption can be Cured.
SCHENCK's PULMONIC SYRUP,
SCHENCK'S SEAWEED TONIC,

W
SCHENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS,
Are the only medicines that will cure Pulmonary
Consumption.
Sometimes medicines that will stop cough will
often occasion the death of the patient. 1t locks up
the liver, stops the circulation OF the blood, hemOr
orage follows, and, in fact clogging the action OF
the very organs that caused the cough.
Liver complaint and dyspepsia arethe causes of
two-thirds of the cases of consumption. Many are
new complaining with duh pain in the side, the
bowels sometimes costiye and sometimes too loose
tongue coated, pain in the shoulder blade, feeling
sometimes very restless, and at other times drow-
sy the food that is taken lies heavily on the stom
ach, accompanied with acidity and belching Of
wind These symptoms usually originate from
dsordered condition of the stomach or a torpid
liver. Persons SO affected, if they take one two
heavy colds, and if the cough in these cases be
suddenly stopped, the lnngs, liver and stomach
clog, and remain torpid and inactive and before
mass of sores, and liberated, and death is the in.
vtable result
Schencks Pulmonic Syrup is an expectOrant,
which does not contain any opium, nor anything
calculated to check a cough suddenly.
Schencks Seaweed Tonic dissOlves the food,
mixes with the gastric juice ofthe stomach, digests
easily, nourishes the system, and creates healthy
circulation of the blood. When the bowels are
costive, skin sallow and the patient is of bilious
habit, Schencks Mandrake Pills are required.
These medicines are prepared by DR.. j. II.

The way of southern man who coun
sells peace and unity among the people OF
the South is hard to travel. Longstreet
was denounced for manifesting republl-
can tendencies, and now Beauregard is un-
der the ban. The Selma (Alabama)
Times dubs him "Unifer the First, and
tells him that the people ofthe South loved
him as the hero of the FIRST Manassas, the
soldier of Shiloh. and the defender OF
Charleston but they hold him in utter

himself TO dedicate his life to the unifica-

race, color, or previous condition"

A nusnian marriage Ceremony.

The bride and the bridegroom hold a
lighted taper in their hands in front Of
small altar placed in the center Of the
church. Rings we're placed on their fin
gers, and their hands being Joined, they
we're led by the Pope three times around
the altar. Two highly ornsmented gilt
crowns were placed on their heads and
held over them by the groomsmen dur
ing part of the services. They drank
wine out of a cup three times, and kiss
ing one. another, the ceremony was hn-
ished. The married couple then made
a tour of the church, crossing them
selves at aud saluting each sanity Icon
on the way. Weddings generally take
place toward evening, so that imme-
diately after the ceremony, dinner com
mences at the house OF the bride S
father. At a marriage feast lighted can
dies are placed in every position and
corner possible. No other vine sst
champagne should be drunk, and the
quantity consumed Of this beverage is
remarkable. The dinner is followed by
a ball. and the feasting is usually kept
up for tventy-four hours. The custom
of honeymooning does not exist in Rus
sia. The married couple spend the hrst
few DAYS Of their welded life with the
brides father. After the marriage the
bride and bridegroom must call upon
every one Of their relations, friends and
acouaintances. and after this ceremony
is finished they sink back 10 their ordi-
nary life.

The London Pail Mall Gazette says
that nowadays, people, instead of want
ing to get rid of babies, are bent upon
acquiring them, and it is quite as unsafe
to leave baby about as an umbrella.
The infant is snapped mp in moment,
and the chances are a dozen 10 one
against its ever being restored to its
proper owner Indeed, so frequent are
these misappropriations of babies that
they can only be accounted for by sup
posing that the babies are taken by mis-
take; absent persons pick up baby and
carry it of as they would a pair Of
gloves or any other article OF small
value. The following advertisement,
whick appeared in the Daily Telegraph,
shows how easily, nowadays, babies may
be lost: THE lady who held baby in
Regents Park, Thursday, while the maid
fetched cake, and on her return could
not be found, is requested 70 send the
baby to No. l3 Queens Square, Blooms
bury. II the lady's engagements will
not allow her to restore the child :s-=s-
diately, perhaps the next time she is
walking in the directions Of Bloomsbury
she viii not forget that she has little
stranger in her possession which might
as well be returned 70 its parents.

Father Burke Upon Temperance.

Father Burke Upon Temperance.
There we're two causes that produced
sin, and the first and greatest was drunk
enness. After Noah came out of the
ark, he was innocent Of sin, but he com
pressed the grape and made wine, which
he drank and was made drunk. He was
innocent of the knowledge that there
was intoxication in the cup, and there
fore he committed a sin unwittingly. A
sin was committed by his son. who, when
he saw his father overcome by the wine,
scoffed at him, and thus committed a
sin. Gods wrath again came upon men,
and the curse followed.
Another Of the greatest sins was com
mitted by Lot when he fed from the
threatened destruction of SodOm and
took refuge in the wilderness with his
two daughters. His daughters made
him drunk on wine, and it was then
that he committed the sin that is ac-
cursed of God. All the wickedness OF
Sodom failed to seduce Lot from the
paths Of virtue, but wine overthrow him,
and caused him to commit the greatest
Of crimes. Seldom never conquered Lot
sober, but the invisible spirit OF wine
conquered him.
The sin Of drunkenness destroys the
soul as we'll as the body. 1t destroys all
selfrospeot, the esteem Of friends, and a
mans love for his family. Man is the
image Of God, and whatever defaees that
image is q sin against our Maker. God
was the author Of two creations-the
invisible and the visible The invisible
is the world Of spirits, inhabited By the
Creator and his hosts Of angels. After
creating heaven, He saw that there vas
a void, and BE then created the visible,
which is the earth and the rest Of

the route of Versailles. Several months
later the new countess left France and
established herself in Florence, where
she built a splendid palace on the banks
of the Arno. But ten years after ennui
seized her, and she wished to again see
Paris. Every day at the moment when
Napoleon and the Empress came from
the Tuileries, Miss Howard showed her
self in a superb equipage and dazzling
toilet. Rnmor said that the Empress
was furious. Some days after a perform

English woman, covered and occupying

material creation, and to harmonize the
whole he created man after his own
image--half an angel and half a brute.
No matter what sins we commit 1t is
almost impossible to destroy the divinity
that is within us. When a man commits
mortal sin, it destroys his soul, but His
image still remains, for it is the image OF
God. Sin may dis6gure, though it does
not always kill the body. Drunkenness
destroys both mind and body. A man
may commit many sins which do not rob
him of his manhood. What deprives
him of reason? Drunkenness
1t deprives you of your power OF will;
it disables you from guiding your own
footsteps, and often deprives you OF
speech, A man that is drunkard is
not man. he is beast. He is below
a beast We say of a dead man that he
is corpse. What is the difference be-
tween drunkard and a corpse2 A
dead man may be the image of God, but
a drunkard is the image of the devil. II
you want to destroy your manhood, or
commit suicide, the way to accomplish
it is through the intoxicating bowl.

Personal "Reminiscences OF the Em' E
PerOr-The story or Mias Howard.

A melancholy interest attaches to the
fate of Miss Howard, whose name is
better known than the circumstances of
her life. The story as given in detail
by Griscelli, ia as follows: ION night
OF such fog as they have in London, a
man was walking up and down the Hay
market His height was five feet and
several inches; he was thick-waisted,
short-legged, with pallid face, small
eyes, mustache, buttoned to the neck
and carrying in his hand a loaded cane,
without any hat. The passers by might
have taken him for a policeman. Sud
denly door gave entrance to a lady
elegantly dressed. The man exclaimed,
Halo, madame, alone SO late, and in
such bad weather.
without any invitation he followed
the lady, who, arriving in her parlor and
thinking him a civil policeman, offered
him Two shiiiiHgs.

Next day the eonspirator of Stras-
burg and Boulogne, the escaped from the
fortress of Ham, recalled himself to
the memory Of his followers by sending
them some English gold with which to
still censpire against the government
that had twice left him his life. From
this day the misery which had over
whelmed the son of Admiral Verhuel
was driven away by the bank-notes of
Miss Howard. While he was President

5000 900 Of francis to Napoleon at the
moment Of his elevation, was considered
herself as the future Empress. But the
daughter of Albion counted without him
who, when he speaks, lies; when he
is silent, plots.
Zone day Napoleon sent Miss Howard
10 Havre in company with his accom-
plice, Mocquart, promising to come and
see her upon the Sunday. Saturday he
married Mile de Montijo. 1Aking her
tea the morning Of the day when she
should receive the visit Of him who owed
everything TO her, Miss Howard read Of
the marriage in the Moniteur Oihciel.
Precipitately leaving the Hotel Fraseati,
she engaged q special train and reached
her home in Paris, where she saw the
strangest spectacle. Furniture, cush-
ions, papers, notes, letters, contracts
some were broken, others were emptied,
and others stolen. Pietri, warned by a

A Word for the Poor.

The winter will be hard one. Work
will be scarce and money scarcer. Already
the great manufacturing firms have dis
charged many of their hands, and those
5 who have not dismissed employees have
reduced wages so low that the effect of the
two is not very different. To beg, to
steal, or to starye seems the only solution
of the problem of life for these enforced
oilers. When there is scantiness of work
there is inevitably plentitude of crime. It
IS stated that twenty thousand men and
women, dependent on their daily earrings
for support, were out of employment
last winter in New York; and it is
feared that the number this season may
be doubled. Many Of these must wander
into the country in search of the labor
they can not find in town. When they
ask at your doors for work, try to find
something for them, if it be only for
few hours. Trust them, even if their
appearance be uncanny. Give them
work, and pay them for it. Money that
comes without labor is generally the least
charitable of gifts. To live upon pecuni-
airy aid that has had no equivalent is to
lose selfrespect, and to lose self-respect
IS to lose the balance-wheel of healthy
OIBdIllHdtiOIl.
Engage all the help this winter you can
possibly afford. Have your sewing done,
not by expensive modistes, but by the poor
women who stitch by the day or Job.
Hire the chore-woman for an extra clean
ing, now and then. Let the washer-wo.
mans boy do the errands you have been
in the habit of doing yourself. Compen.
safe them for self-respecting toll, instead
Of making them the recipients of morti-
flying charity. Do not save pennies, and
call it economy, by performing the task
which, by the law of mutual help, be-
longs to others. 1t is keeping from them
that which is their right. Refrain from
buying luxuries if you will, but do not
take from the needy, through mistaken
idea of thrift.-"Home and ,Society,''
,Scribner's for January.

:. STRANGE INJURY TO AN OCEAN
CABLE.-ln repairing the disabled wire
between Kurrachee and Gwador, a dis
lance of 300 miles, the fault was ascer.
tanned to be 118 miles from the former
place. The telegraph steamer, by sound
lngs, found that the sea bottom was ir-
regular and gashed, and on winding in
the cable the resistance was so great that
the electricians supposed it was caught in
q rock. When brought to the surface
the body of large whale, firmly secured
/ by two and half turns of the cable.
just above the tail, revealed the
real trouble. 1t was supposed
that the huge fish was using the
cable to rid himself of paracites, and as
it oyerhung submarine cavity, he proba-
bly,, with FLIP of his tail, twisted it
around him and came to an untimely end.
In the Malta-Alexandria cable piece of
the core, from which the iron sheathing
had been worn away, was found to have
been pierced by shark, pieces of his
teeth inhering in the gutta percha. The
Cuba-Florida and the Chinese cables have
been similarly damaged. In repairing the
Atlantic cable of 1865, pieces of the old
strand of 1858 were raised, and where the
sheathing had given way the core was in
dented by worms, resembling old worm
eaten timber or books.

GENERAL FORREST AND THE OLD
FLAG. General N. B. Forrest, in recent
letter to g Memphis paper, says: +" Within
the last few days | have received a large
number of letters from men who were
prominent Confederate officers and SOL
diers, volunteering to the Secretary of War.
through me, their services to fight for the
old flag in case of war with Spain. Be-
ing too much engaged to answer their let
ters separately, allow me to say, through
the columns Of your widely-circulated
journal, that it is very gratifying to me to
to see upon the part Of those who, like
myself, fought against it, so earnest q dis
position to fight for it, in case of foreign
war. As for myself, our civil war having
closed, and having pledged allegiance to
the government, should she become in-
volved in war with foreign power. /
should struggle as hard for it as once, as
Confederate soldier, struggled against it.
As'to those friends and old companions in
arms who have written to me, / would
say, | hope and believe there will be no
war. owing to the wise policy adopted by
the distinguished soldier now at the head
OF the government, but should it come,
let us show our loyalty to the flag by |
standing ready to strike down any hand
raised against it." 5000 ,r
