DIR. SCHENCK'S
PulmOnic Syrup, Sea Weed Ton.
ic, and Mandrake Pills.

These medicines have undoubtedly performed
more cures OF Consumption than any other remedy
known TO the American public. They are com
pounded of vegetable Ingredients and contain moth
ing which can be injurious to the human constitu-
ton.
Other remedies advertised as cures OF consump.
ton, probably contain opium, which is a somewha,
dangerous drug in all cases. and /: taken freely by
consumptve patients, it must do great injury, fol-
its tendency is to coniine the morbid matter in the
system, which, Of course, must make a cure i'm.
possible.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to
contain a particle of opium. 1t is composed Of
powerful but harmless herbs, which act on the
lungs liver, stomach and blood and thus correct all
morbid secretons and expel all the diseased matter
from the body. These are the only means by which
consumption can be cured, and as Schenck's Pull
monte Syrup. Sea Weed Tonic. and Mandrake Pills
are the only medicines which operate in this way,
il Is obvious they are the only genuine cure for
Pulmonary Consumption. Each bottle Of this in
valuable medicine is accompanied by full directions

Office, corner Sixth and Arch streets. Philadelphia

RAILROAD CONNECTION WITH BURLINGTON.

RAILROAD CONNECTION WITH BURLINGTON.
BY an article from the FREE Pass,
copied elsewhere, it will be seen that the
matter of the proposed connection Of the
Lamoille Valley road with Burlington is
being agitated anew. From the temper of
that meeting we judge that large portion
of the business men of Burlington appreci-
ate the importance of this connection. The
people of this section, and the p. Il o. road
generally, desire this connection, believing
it to be for their mutual advantage. Within
few days some ten hundred tons of freight
for this place, which came down the lake
from Port Henry, was shipped past Burling-
ton to st. Johns. Canada, and from thence
ria the South Eastern Railway to St. johns
bury With this branch built from Cam
bridge to Burlington. all such freight will
come over that road. to the manifest advant-
age of all parties. This is but one item in
the account, while there as many as appar-
ent A short link of road so important and
necessary as this branch is. cannot long re-

NO WAR WITH TIE NEGROES.

The Eastern Argus of yesterday in a long
editorial defending the White Leagues of
the South says: 1.-The White men of the
"South make 10 war npon the negro
How this assertion agrees with the facts
may be learned by comparing it with the
following from the New York Times Of
Monday:
We are informed by a conservative paper
printed in New Orleans that ''moral coercion
is the means employed in winning the negroes
in the country parishes Of Louisiana "to the
bona.fide white resident taxpayers for sue
cor and relief FROM the unprincipled carpet
baggers The New Orleans Republican,
however, tells us that the white leaguers are
represented as "having armed patrols going
the rounds in De Soto Parish every night for
the purpose of catching and numbering poll
cal niggers' caught away from home let
ter dated Aug. from that parish states that
three colored men had been killed that week
by white leagurers because they were suspect
ed of being interested in politics. 1t adds:
1.-TWO of them were going home from church
and the third was riding in wagon with 9th
er men, when he was taken out and shot, his
companions being told not to tell who were
the murderers, and threatened with speedy
and certain death if they did,"
The lesguers had evidently discovered that
'moral coercion" was Of no avail with those
three unfortunate political niggers."

THE BLACK NILS COUNTR \.

The report by General Custer of the expe-
diton which he led into the Black Hills
country contains information Of great impor-
lance. He found country fertile and favor
able to agriculture and grazing, and also rich
in minerals that will doubtless attract immi-
grants to search for treasure. We copy from
the report;
This expedition entered the Black Hills
from the west side, passed through the east
ern and most southern ranges, exterior, and
passed out of the most eastern ranges which
form the boundary of the Black Hills. From
the fact that in all our principal marches
through the Black Hills we have taken with
out serious obstacle heavily laden train of
over 100 wagons, it may be inferred that the
Black Hills do not constitute the impenetra-
bic region heretofore represented. In enter.
ing the Black Hills from any direction the
most serious if not the only obstacles we en-
countered at once near the outer base. This
probably accounts for the story which has so
long existed regarding the character of the
interior. Exploring parties have eontented
themselves with marching around the exterior
base, and from the forbidding aspect OF the
hills, as viewed at distance, inferred that an
advance toward the interior would only en-
counter increased obstacles, In regard 10 the
character of the country inclosed by the Black

The white leagues have absorbed the
Democratic party in Louisiana, and the
Democratic convention instead of being
held in New Orleans, as announced by the
Democratic Central Committee, will be
held at Baton Rouge. The Shreveport
Times, organ of the white leagues, admits
that there has been some needless killing
of negroes. but adds, significantly, "there
has been some red-handed work done in
this parish that was necessary, but it was
evidently done by cool determined and just
men, who knew just how far to 60, and
we doubt not, if the same kind of work is
necessary, it will be done"
