SPECIAL NOTICE.

DR.. SoHENcK's PULMoEIo SYRUP, SEA WEED
Tonic, AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These medi-
cines have undoubtedly performed more cures
of Consumption than any other remedy known
to the American public. They are COM
pounded of vegetable Ingredients. and con-
tain nothing which can be injurious to the
human constitution. Other remedies adver-
tised as cures for Consumption. probably con-
tain opium. which is a somewhat dangerous
drug in all cases. and if taken freely by con-
sumptive patients. il must do great injury;
for its tendency is to confne the morbid mat
ter in the system, which. of course, must
make a cure impossible. Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup is warranted not to contain particle
of opium. 1t Is composed Of powerful but
harmless herbs, which act on the lungs. liver,
stomach, and blood. and thus correct all NOR
bid secretions. and expel all the diseased mat
ter from the body. These are the only means
by which Consumption can be cured, and as
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic,
and Mandrake Pills are the only medicines
which operate in this way, it is obvious they
are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary
Consumption. Each bottle of this Invaluable
medicine is accompanied by full directions:

GENERAL SANTA ANNA.
HIS Kelurn 20 Mexico.

A letter to the Alta California, from
the city of Mexico, says:
General Santa Anna having returned
to this city after eighteen years OF ban
ishment, | went to see him at his resi-
dence in Gale Vergara. Having been
well acquainted with this prominent man
when at the height of his power in 1856
and on the point of placing crown on
his head, was much struck with the diff
erence of now and then At that time
the streets were crowded to look at the
"Su Alteza" when driving with large
escort to the PasOe, and now | found
Don Antonio Lopez living in the plainest
style, an old man, without ambition, his
face full of wrinkles, but still marching
pretty erect in spite of his artificial leg.
Though approaching the age of eighty
years, his black though seanty hair and
his whole appearance is that of man OF
sixty. General Miguel Androde had the
kindness to present me again to his fall
len greatness. He received me and sew
eral other visitors without any ceremony,
and made us sit down near him. To an
old invalid officer he gave a tender
a6razo, calling him mi oeterdaO, and in
auired after old companions in arms,
many of whom had already died. Il
have returned to Mexico" he said, be
cause my native country has too much
attraction for me. When l was asked
abroad, Why do you long for you un-
grateful countrymen ? answered that
| wanted to be buried where my lost foot
was resting. / now feel as if had come
to a foreign land. Already at Vera Cruz,
when asking for an old friend, was in
variabIy answered, DEAD! !! A whole
generation has passed over me, and, like
the sands of the desert, the years are
heaped on my head. | met on the road
an old man with white beard, who was
my god-child, and whom | held in my
arms when christened in 1922. / have
become a stranger to all parties. am
astonished at everything l now see IN
this country, but hope yet to find last
resting-placel
He told us the curious story about his
lost leg, and in the following words
Regarding my foot, must mention that
| believed it lost when the rabble took it
from the tomb on the 9th of December,
l84l, and dragged it through the streets;
but Yesterday lady came to see me, tel
ling ifne that her husband, who was an
old colonel of the Mexican army, had
preserved it, and recommended her to
return it to me if / SHOULD ever come
back to Mexico. / am expecting this
gift to-day at noon. consider this con
duct the more praiseworthy because the
gift might have been made in 1853, when
| was President, but then such action
would have been considered an adula-
ton" He had scarcely finished these
words, when the lady arrived with the
promised foot. DR.. Antonio opened the
box and examined his relic with interest.
The foot was perfectly mumifed, but
conserved.

A young man stood by the Summer sea.
In the flush of the rising SUM-.
And the wavelets cleaned as the light down
streamed
Gliding them one by one.
Over the waves with the tips of gold,
At the sun and the shining sea,
Like the eagle he gazed. with eye undazed,
And a soul all young and free.
Youth and the world are minel" he cried.
Honor and hope and love;
Calm as the sea is my life to me.
And bright as the skies above.
"And the blue. eyed lass with the golden hair,
Who has given her heart to me;
All she will be mine with her love divine,
When my ship comes over the sea.
An old mau stood en- barren beach,
Shading his haggard eyes
With hand that shook, while his weary look
Went from earth to sea and skies.
And never one, to pity him
Of all the friends Of his youth,
For Hope was dead, and there lived instead
The sinister lesson, Truth.
And the gold-haired lass that had looked on
him
With her eyes of heavenly blue,
Had gone. with his fame and riches and name.
AS blue-eyed goddesses do.
Hageard and broken his shadow fell
Clouding the laughing form; "a ~.

WAYS THAT ARE BARK"
Disclosures Of "a San Francisco Gam
bling Den.

bling DEN.
From the San Francisco Bulletin.l
The demolition Of the Meade House,
at the corner of Montgomery and Pine
streets, has developed some facts of
startling interest. The Meade House
was the rendezvous for the gambling fra
ternity from early in 1865 to December,
1871, when the police raided upon it aud
disturbed operations. Until this raid
the game of faro was conducted in the
building in quiet and orderly manner,
and with fair profit, the net earnings
reaching $65 900 for single year. This
was in reality workingman' bank.
Here the working classes deposited large
sums Of money, and we're not troubled
with bank books. A few days ago, while
the workmen we're taking down the walls,
number of suspicious characters were
observed hanging about the spot and
watching the proceedings with great in.
terest. While knocking away the wall
of one OF the lower rooms the workmen
were somewhat puzzled by the manner
of the strangers. Three of them sud
denly walked up to the spot and watch
ed every blow of the AK with the keenest
scrutiny. Suddenly gap was made in
the wall, and the next blow of the AK
caused peculiar sound, as if a musical
instrument had been struck. On exam
ination it was discovered that three wires
were running up through the wall from
floor to ceiling. In a few minutes no
less than half dozen workmen were
about the place examining the wires, the
three strangers looking at each other
significantly. An investigation of the
whole house was now commenced,
and the revelations we're, indeed,
OF the most startling character. In
one OF the rooms on the upper floor, was
an arrangement which enabled player
to know exactly What his opponent held.
Directly over the table, in the center of
the room, was small hole in the ceiling,
through which the confederate watched
the game. Wire ran along the ceiling
to the floor, and terminated in levers
beneath the carpet, upon which the
cheating gambler placed his foot; as
these wires were pulled, the number Of
the taps telegraphed the course of ac-
ton to pursue. The faro-room was the
most ingeniously contrived thing in the
house. In the first place, wires ran
from the door so that signal was given
when it opened, and in an instant all was
in readiness for the drop. This was ae-
complshed by two levers and a space
beneath, let into the floor. In a second
the gamblers withdrew from the table,
each man, of course, grabbing his checks
and money, and by a motion OF the
levers the yawning floor opened, and
down went the whole "lsy out. The
carpet was then drawn over the spot,
and when the officers hove in sight there
was nothing in the shape of gamblers
implements to be seen. In the house
there were taken out no less than one
hundred and fifty wires and several con-
triyanees for suddenly hiding gambling
implements. After the discovery an
