DR.. ScHENOK's PULMoSIo 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, it 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. Schenok' 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 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.

office, corner Sixth and Arch streets, Phila-
delphia, every Monday, where all letters for

"REMINISCENCES OF TEXAN IN.
DEPENDENCE.
Eannin's Massacre-Its Anniversary

y
March 9th, last was the thirty.eighth
anniversary of the bloodest tragedy
ever enacted within the territory of the
United States. 1t is known in history
as Fannin's massacre or the massacre
of Goliad, which occurred in the an.
cient town of La Bahia, now Goliad
Texas, on the 9th of March, 1886.
Colonel James W. Fannin occupied
Goliad with 500 men. The Alamo, at
San Antonio, fell on the 26th of March,
and left the army of Santa Anna free to
march upon Goliad, one hundred miles
below. Fannin, on the llth, sent Capt.
King with twenty.eight men to escort
the Irish families at the Mission of Re.
fugio to Goliad, then intending to fall
back. King was besieged in the Mission,
and Major Ward, with 100 men was sent
to his relief. After entering the Mission,
Ward sent out Kings company to recon-
noiter. Surrounded, and after bloody
fight, Kings company surrendered
Within six hours they were all shot by
order of General Uera. Ward then at
tempted to cut his way back to Goliad,
but was surrounded by twelve hundred
Mexicans, and, though defending him
self, was compelled to change his line of
retreat to Victoria, after passing which
place sixteen miles, he was overwhelmed
by numbers and compelled to surrender
on the Garcitas creek.
On the 18th of March, hearing nothing
of Ward OF King, Colonel Fannin aban-
doned Goliad, and fell back nine miles
on the road east toward Victoria. At 2
pm. he was attacked by Urea, with
superior force of artillery, infantry and
cavalry, in the open prairie, three miles
from timber. He made gallant fight
until night, losing seven killed and sixty
wounded, and all his animals. He would
have retreated in the night, but though
wounded himself, he sternly refused to
abandon his wounded men. Daylight
revealed the fact that he was entirely
surrounded by the enemy, and com
pletely at the mercy Of their artillery.
Being surrounded, he entered into an
honorable capitulation, duly signed, and
the whole body we're marched back to
Goliad and confined in the church and
the fert, being soon Joined by Ward aud
his men as fellow-prisoners The whole
number was four hundred and forty-fve
men. The surrender was on Sunday,
the Goth Of March.
On Sunday morning, March 9th, they
were marched out half a mile in double
file-being divided into four squads
halted, faced about and without the
slightest warning, shot down like beasts.
Two doctors and a carpenter were spared

for use, and about twenty.fcnr escaped
in various, almost miraculous, ways
twenty seven in all-leaving AIS who
were thus butchered.
The whole narrative is one of the
darkest spots in the HISTORY of the New
World. The escape of the few men
toned, in each individual case, teens
with the prismatic tints of romance, and
possesses an interest TO the youth Of
Texas that will increase with the march
Of time.
The massacre Of Goliad has ever since
kept alive in the breast of Texans a de-
testation of brutality and treachery. So
may it ever be.

ShrewIsh women.

A. S. Isaacs has gathered together, as
examples of warning, some notable in
stances of shrewish women, thus
Perhaps one of the earliest shrews
was the wife of Rabbi Jose. The story
is forcibly told in the Talmud-that
compendium, one might say. of allegory
and anecdote. 1t seems that Jose, a
rabbi of fair attainments and character,
had the happiness Of being married to a
woman who was as perverse after mar
riage as she was gracious beforehand.
One day, the story runs, the rich and
learned Eliezer the son of Asarya, paid
a visit to Jose. Jose received his guest
with great pleasure, and feeling himself
highly honored in the company of one so
wise and wealthy, entreated Eliezer to
stay to dinner. He consented, unconscious
of his friends connubial blessedness.
The wife, delighted to vex her hus-
band, turned her back on his friend,
and by snndry slips of the tongue and
gestures gave the unfortunate Jose to
understand how little she cared for him
or his learned companion. Jose good
naturedly took no notice of her churlish
conduct, but merely asked her what she
had for dinner. Nothing, nothing" "
replied the termagant in a shrill voice,
nothing but few vegetables" This
Hebrew Xantippe had, however, pre-
pared some very fine chickens for her
self, which she afterward ate with the
greatest relish, leaving Jose and Eliezer
to ponder over their scanty vegetables
and the saying of Solomon, 1T is bet
ter to dwell in a corner of a roof than
with quarrelsome woman in a roomy
house"
Milton had a most vixenish wife. 1t
might have added to his comfort to have
been deaf instead of blind. To hatter
his wife Buckingham once called her a
rose. 81 am no judge of colors," re-
piled the poet, "and it may be so,
for" be added with a sigh, "I feel

The "judicious" Hooker Jared no less
badly in his selection of a better half
and experience with her. The picture
of his domestic relations. as drawn by
Whipple, though truthful, is by no means
tlattering. Whipple attempts to excuse,
in measure, the temper Of Mrs. Hooker,
on the ground that Hooker married her

How peaceful now thy silent shades,
And winding labyrinths of art;
How Grand thy noble forest trees,
That fondly twine around the heart!
How solemn rise thy lofty domes,
Towering above the quiet dead;
Like silent spectres of the night,
Coming with slow and measured treadY
Great city of the dreamless dead.
We come to shed the rising tear;
To pause, in thy vast solitudes,
And weep beside lonely bier!
No costly monuments we bring,
To rear above our cherished dead;
But simple wild flowers strew
Around their meek and lowly bed.
No monumental urns we fill.
With chaplets of exotics rare;
But dewy buds at morn we bring,
To mingle with the fragrant air.
These. our offerings to the dead.
A silent language loudly speak;
No carved words could e'er express,
The heart-threbs breath 30 low ana meek
How many restless spirits sleep.
Beneath a cold sepulchral tomb;
How many noble heroes slain.
Now in Celestial beauty bloom.
Sleep on within these sacred shades,
While lightly Ger thy mounds we tread;
We come fresh flowers here to bring,
To hallow'd precincts of the dead.
But while we strew these fragile buds,
Pluck d from Terrestrial bowers
Far down within our hearts pure shrine,
Still bloom amaranthine flowers.
Unfading as the stars of night,
That crowd the azure vaulted skies,
The SOULS eternal offerings
Will, in glorious triumph rise

An INVITED NOSE.

At one Of the demi-French reunions
not long since, little scene occurred
which amused the few who witnessed it.
About ten o'clock monsieur entered,
very correct in his "getting up" un-
exceptionable in his demeanor, but
gentleman gifted with very consider |
able nasal organ. The old proverb
says, GA large nose never spoiled a
handsome face" and the stranger justi-
fed the proverb.
Advancing to the mistress of the
house, he made the formal reverence
which ceremony requires on first visit,
then, taking more familiar tone, he
said, Z" 1t has been very happy to ac-
cept your invitation, madam an honor
of which it is quite unworthy"
This was said in low voice, but so
distinctly that it could be understood
by those who stood near.
The lady, who, though very DIS
tiaague person, is somewhat timid, be-
cause still young, was somewhat en-
barrassed at this address, and, thinking
she had misunderstood him, replied
Excuse me, sir were you say
ing"
:" l said, madam, that it was very
grateful for the invitation to your
soiree.'
The bystanders exchanged looks and
began to whisper; the lady became
more and more out of countenance.
ssI do not understand you,'' she said,
at length; "of what are you speaking p
The gentleman did not speak again.
but pointed, in reply, to the prominent
feature in his face.
What do you know? Oh, how
imprudent !'' exclaimed the lady an6
blushing from her chin to her eyes, she
concealed in her handkerchief a face hal
laughing and half embarrassed.
The explanation of this little mystery
soon came out. The hostess had me-
this gentleman the evening before at the
house of her sister, where he had made
himself very agreeable, as was his Gus
tom. On her return, recollecting he
own soiree of the next day, she wrote
hastily the following concise note to he
sister:
ct have taken liking to the big
nose. Give him an invitation for me.
Her madcap relative amused hersel
by sending the invitation as it was, ant
the gentleman responded to the joke il
a manner which brought the laughte
on his side.
