ScHENoK's PULMOSIc SYRUP,
SoHENcK's SEA WEED Tonic.
ScHENcK's Mandrake Pulls,
Are the only medicines that will cure Pull
monary Consumption.
Frequently medicines that will stop cough
will occasion the death Of the patient; they
lock up the liver, st0p the circulation OF the
blood. hemorrhage follows, and in fact, they
clog the action OF the very organs that caused
the cough.
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are the
causes of two-thirds Of the cases of Consump-
tion. Many persons complain Of dull pain
in the side, constipation. coated tongue, pain
in the shoulder blade. feelings of drowsiness
and restlessness. the food lying heavily on
the stomach, accompanied with acidity and
belching up of wind.
These symptoms usually originate from a
disordered condition Of the stomach or tor
pid liver.
Persons so affected, If they take one or two
heavy colds, and if the cough in these cases
be suddenly checked. will find the stomach
and liver clogged, remaining torpid and mac
tive, and almost before they are aware the
lungs are mass OF sores, and liberated. the
result of which is death.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is an expecto-
rant which, does not contain opium or any
thing calculated to check cough suddenly.
Sohenck's Sea Weed Tonic dissolyes the
food, mixes with the gastric juices of the
stomach, aids digestion, and creates raven
Gus appetite.
When the bowels are costive, skin salIow. or
the symptoms otherwise of a bilious ten
dency. Schenck's Madrake Pills are required.
These medicines are prepared only by

Capitol HiII.

"0livia" writes to the Philadelphia
Press. 1.-The exclusive aristocracy of
Washington is found in that part OF the
city known as Capitol Hill Upon the
emerald nights crowned with gardens
and flowers, the proud old families of an
Dent lineage occupy their ancestral
acres almost under the dome of our
beloved Capitol Whilst standing on the
brow of the hill, if the eye is directed
southwark, the baronial home of the Car
rolls scourges the vision with its monas-
tic severity. A wall as round as the arm
of beauty eucrcles the extensive grounds
and the naughty old castle within is a
perpetual aggression to the paint, par
venu and pretence that spreads itself at
the West End The spirit Of holiness
seems TO envelop this elegant home At
certain hours of the twenty-four the
dainty occupants emerge to go upon
their rounds of daily charity. Like so
many nuns, yet part OF the world,
they bear the same relation to modern
society at the capital as the old French
regime to the Bonaparte reign Earlier
blossoms OF the family tree have worn the
proudest coronets of England: aud these
lovely, silver haired sisters are character
lied by the same courtly refinement and
queenly grace. To the north, but with
in stone throw of the Capitol, may be
seen the pile once known as the city
home of Gen. Washington. Within the
remembrance OF the child of dozen sum
mers it remained as the great statesmen
left it, except it had succumbed to the
gnawiug tooth of time. The high plateau
upon which it was built had ir a great
measure crumbed. The windows were
mostly broken and the chimneys were
beginning to fall But the hand of mod
ern progress seized it, and pretentious
building made up OF the old walls, now
marks the sitej too large for boarding
house and too small for hotel, destitute
of kitchens and servants quarters,
useless as a mansion but splendid as a
tomb. But nothing in the great labora'
tory of nature is lost, for the ghostly
brick and mortar serves to mark the hal.
lowed spot sacred to the memory of the
Father of his Country, and no Mount
Vernon corporation can pen cows within
the precious enclosure and peddle pale
fluid at so much per gallon or so much
per glass On Capitol Hill may be found
Christ Church, where Washington and
other early Presidents Yorshiped. The
bricks Of which it is constructed were
baked on English soil aud tossed over
the stormy Atlantic. The antique
building has none of the fancy airs of
the aoderp cathedral, but it is built
square and unpretendipg, an outward
emblem of the spirit Of those who gave it
birth. 1t was made as defense against
the elements whilst the inmates were
holding commGpion with the Most High.

and Lafayette, whilst the gallant Hamil-
ton held the slip that the first lady

leaders were known as the men of the
moment. - The Cars marriage was the
signal for a general change of ministry.
1t was rare that the family of the Gar
ina did not succeed in ousting the in
cumbents and seizng on their office; a
new moment was inaugurated; nat
urally the brides influence was used tor
her own relations, and whether she ex-
erted it or not, their right was recog-
nized. 1t is easy to imagine the rage
of the one party, the greed Of the other
the furious enmity to which the poor
young girl often fell a victim. Plots
of the blackest description were
woven around her from the moment
when the crown of the Czarevna was
placed on her brow; every one employed
about the terem, from those who file d
the highest to those who filled the
meanest offices, became the object of
bribes and intrigues If she could be
made away with before the wedding day,
the competition must begin again, with
the chance OF the successful candidate

she could not feel safe. Ivan the Terri

Of poison; no sooner had he chosen a
third than she sickened, and efforts we're
made to induce him to relinquish his
choice. BE persisted; fortnight after
their union she was dead. Then his
fury broke forth, and terrible butchery
ensued; in his defense before the bish-
ops of the church he professed himself
convinced that each of his wives had
been taken from him by poison,

TOuchy Husbands.

Women have their faults, il is true,
and very provoking ones they sometimes
are; but If we would all learn, men and
women, that with certain virtues, which
we all admire, are always coupled certain
disagreeables, we might make up our
minds more easily to accept the bitter
with the sweet. For instance, every hus-
hand, we believe, delights in a clearly,
wellordered house, free from dust, spots
and unseemly stains; the pains-taking
machinery necessary to keep il 80 he
never wishes to see, or seeing, too often
forgets to praise. II, then, his wife, true
to her feminine instincts toward cleanli-
ness, gently reminds him when he comes
home, that he has forgotten to use the
door-mat before entering the sitting-room
on stormy day, let him reflect before
giving her a lordly, impatient, ungracious
"pshnw how the reverse of the pic
ture would suit him, viz. /: A slatternly,
easy" woman, whose apartments are
constant modification to him in the
presence Of visitors.
IL Is a poor return, when n wife has
made everything fresh and bright, to be
TO take little pains to keep IL
so, or to be properly reminded IL forget

bands are unreasonably touchy," even
while secretly admiring the pleasant re-
suits of the vigilance of the good house

The MOund.Builers.

The existence of mounds, built by a
race of people by whom this continent
was formerly peOpled, near Ottumwa,
Iowa, among other places, has long been
known. Some of these mounds have been
recently explored by party of scien-
tific gentlemen, with whom was the
editor of the Ottumwa Democrat, who
gives an account of the exploration.
The first mound excavated, he says,
was about forty-five feet in diameter, and
one hundred and forty feet in circum-
ference. 1t is situated upon an emf
nence, the highest point in that vicinity.
Mound No. 2 lies directly north OF
the first one described, and distant from
it about one-fourth of mile. Upon ex-
cavating in the centre of the last one,
which was two hundred and twenty
five feet i'm circumference layer of
stone was found at the depth of four
feet, which bears all the marks of hav-
ing passed through fire; they also found
mass of charcoal, bed of ashes and
calcined human bones all of which evil
dence gave conclusive proof that these
mounds were not erected by Indians, and
that the people who did erect them
pTdCtlceu CrelnatlOn.
Several theories, says our Iowa cotem-
porary, have been advanced as to the use
to which these mounds were adopted by
the builders. Many strong proofs have
been brought forward that they were
places for human sacrifices; others have
urged that they were signal stations by
which the mound-builders could carry
intelligence to incredible distances with
almost the speed of the telegraph. Let
cOnjectures take whatever shape they
may, the facts which were brought for
ward by the exploring party remain to
confound all theories which ascribe the
building of the mounds to Indians as
Indians never burn their dead under any
circumstances. The most reasonable
theory that can be advanced i'm regard
to the makers of these strange monu-
ments is this: The Aztecs of Mexico,
when conquered by Cortes, had q WE'LL
authenticated tradition that their an
cestors came from the far north and it
is very probable that these ancient Mex
leans at one time inhabited Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Wisconsin, and Illinois. Driven
out by the barbarous hordes of Tartars,
Tor Indians) who swept down upon them
from Behring's Straits, they were forced
TO flee southwark and leave their homes
and mounds to the invaders. This theory
finds strong confederation i'm the wonder
full similarity exhibited in the mounds
of Mexico and Iowa, and there isscarcely
any room to doubt that they were made
by the samerace Of men.

The German Military.

The Berlin correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Gazette says: "Our last holiday
the great parade day--is over for the
summer. The troops were commanded
by Prince August, from Wurtemberg.
The Emperor was present, followed by a
brilliant suite, among whom were many
foreign officers. The day was beautiful
and the scene grandly impressing. AS 1
watched the marching and counter
marching, the small black and white
banner on the lance of each Uhlan, the
glittering uniforms, the officers dashing
back and forth, the inspiring music, l
could we'll imagine, with the addition of
laundering cannon, how such perfectly
drilled troops could rush into the battle,
carrying everything before them. The
Crown Princess, wearing the uniform Of
her regiment, was present on horseback,
surrounded by her staff Of officers. She
rides admirably, but her short figure
does not appear to advantage. The En-
peror understood how to supply every
requisite necessary to stimulate his
troops, and the presence of brave,
beautiful woman at the head of a regi-
ment is sufficient to make them over
come all obstacles between them and
victory.

A Word AbOut Rats.

A lady living in the country had her
attention drawn one day to some rats in
an outer room, surrounding pail which
had been prepared for the pigs. Observ-
ing them carefully she soon discovered
that young rat had fallen into the pail,
and that his friends to the num-
Der of five or six were in consul
tation as to the best means of res
cuing him. The lady called the others
of her family to witness their ma
neuvers, while they continued busily at
work, regardless of the presence of the
spectators BY twining their feet to-
gether-the hindfeet Of the foremost
rat being entwined with the forefeet of
the next, and so on--they formed chain
extending over the side of the pail. The
foremost rat, supposed to be the mother,
then reached down, grasped the young
one i'm her arms, and both were drawn
out on the floor. Unfortunately their
deliberations had occupied so much time
that the young rat was drowned before
he was extricated, and apparently the
of his friends did not extend
so Ear as to attempt resuscitation.
