THE heat of Summer as well as the sudden
changes of temperature incident to Autumn,
coupled with the use Of unripe vegetables
and fruits and other unwholesome articles OF
food, result every season in producing much
suffering from Diarrhea, Dysentery, Cholera
Morbus, Collie and other arrangements OF the
stomach and bowels. A remedy that will
promptly relieve these sufferings and restore
tone and normal action to the relaxed and de-
biltated alimentary canal is surely boon to
the afflicted Dr. r. " Pierce, whose Family
Medicines have acquired worldwide repu-
tation, by long study and careful chemical ex-
pcriments has succeeded in extracting, by a
cold process, from Smart-Weed, or Water
Pepper, that modest little plant seen in wet
grounds by the roadside and in neglected
grounds and pasture fields, a remedial princi-
Die which, when skillfully combined with the
extract of Jamaica Ginger and other pleasant
modifying agents, in what he calls his Com
pound Extract of Smart Weed, forms most
reliable specific for all such arrangements
and suiferings. 1t is pleasant and safe to
take, yet powerful to cure. Its wonderful
efficacy is a further confirmation of the Doc
tors idea that God has caused to grow, IN
each climate and region, those medicinal
plants best calculated for the cure OF the as
eases that prevail in the section of country
where those plants are found--that " the
leaves were for the healing of the nations"
and that the fewer far-ittched remedies we
employ the better If we would thoroughly
investigate and understand those we have at
home. The Doctors Extract OF Smart Weed
is sold by druggists generally.

THr skErrTcAL CONVINCED Every

THE SKEPTICAL CONyINcED.-E Every
advance in Medicine, every new remedy
has encountered an opposition which Is
the test of truth. Galen and Jenner only
were believed when they had proved
their discoveries against opposition. But
men are observing, and benefits always
make believers. No incredulity can stand
the silent argument of good results.
When DR.. Walker proclaimed that he had
produced from the medicinal herbs OF
California an Elixir that would regener-
ate the sinking system and cure diseases
not organic the incredulous shook their
heads. Yet his VINEGAR BITTERs is now
the Standard Restorative of the Western
World. The truth could not be resisted.
Under the operation of the new remedy
Dyspeptics regained their health, appe-
tite and strength, the Bilious and Consti-
pated were relieved of every distressing
symptom; the Consumptive and Rheu-
matte rapidly recovered; Intermittent
and Remittent Fevers were broken up;
the faint of Scrofula was eradicated
Who could gainsay facts like these!
Not even the Faculty. Skepticism was
routed. All doubts as to the claims OF
the Bitters to the first place in the first
rank of modern medicines were silenced
and this wonderful preparation is today
the most popular Tonic, Alternative and
Blood Depurent ever advertised IN
America In common with other jour
nalists we are free to add our testi-
mony to this remedy. 1t is a domestic
medicine and no household should be
without it.

"THE GREATEST PLAGUE OF LIFE"

The solution OF the problem OF domestic service
may probably be found in the workings OF the
Cooking school," recently established as an i'm
portant department at the Free Training Schools
for Women, No. Al East Tenth street. No women
are received for training in household labor with
out references which are verified before they are
allowed to enter the schools. They are then
taught and placed in situations. II they
iail to heed the good advice given by
the managers, to make themselves valuable
to their employers by faithful respectful and Will
ing service, they are not again supplied with
places. II servant has Just cause Tor complaint
against her employer, as being unknd or unjust
the agency Of the schools. These conditions
seem perfectly equal In justice to both employers
and servants and the attempt here made to bring
together those TWO social classes--extrcme in
their conditions, yet closely bound by common in
terests OF home comfort-promise to be fruitful of
good results.

THE UNSAFE BUILDINGS
The Building I'm broadway and What
Will BE Done With 1t-A BUILDING
Ealls in Tenth Avenne.

Will Be Done With 1t-A Bui1ding
Falls I'm Tenth Avenue.
The unsafe building No. sos Broadway, about
which full report appeared in Fridays HERALD,
is still in the same II not worse, condition than
when the threatening appearance was first dis.
covered During the past two days the walls have
been discovered to have "givenr little more,
and. to such an extent was q disaster feared, that
yesterday the Department OF Buildings deter.
mined to take further precautions against a
casualty, and men were employed to
put up an additional number of joists
against the building both on the Broadway side
and on the northern side, towards Houston street.
It is believed that had 1t not been Tor tins ad-
ditiOnal number OF jOlStS the pressure would have
been such that the wall could not have failed to
have fallen. 1t is also said that there is great
the foundations Of the Revere House, ana no
Workmen mad been found since our last report
to remove the foundation or the building,
which has been in the course of demolition
for the past lew weeks Indeed, to take
away the foundation would no doubt be
inevitable destruction to the house in danger.
The TACT that tine walls OF this building were not
safe Is stated not to be anything new, for report
erection several years ago the Department OF
Buildings objected to them; but such an absurd
protest g. this was overcome BY reference to some
a portion Of another building erected by the same
owners in Broadway, near Astor place, came to
AS matters at present stand 1t has been decided
that there is but course to pursue, and that Is
to tear the building down. Nothing but the wall
or the edifice next door seems to nave kept the
present one up, and now that the prop exists no
longer 1t must come down. The work Will prob
way seems not to be the only one that is un-
safe in the city,. At ten O'Clock on FRI

fell to the ground and was totally destroyed 1t
contained 200 tons OF ice, and no doubt people
win feel sorry for the Ice. The building, as well as
its contents, was the property OF Mr.. William
Mach, owner OF the Boulevard Brewery His loss
Is $780, 900, on which there was no insurance on the
property and no life was lost

Senatorial anations-Testimony OF
the Engineer Expert.
WASHINGTON. May, 10, 1874.
The testimony taken before the Joint Special
Committee investigating District OF Columbia
affairs, yesterday, apart from that referring to the
safe burglary, has been made public
Senators Edmunds and Bayard testified that they
had accepted the cancellation OF the assessment
made against their property In lieu OF damages
because both were DESTROYS OF getting entirely tree
from the Board OF Public Works.
Senator Edmunds said: III we could release on
both sides all claims and get upon an entirely in
dependent footing would do it. although in doing
so should lose what feel sure now as did
then should have Obtained, If had chosen to In
sist upon nv rights, not only not TO pay any as
sessments but to recover $500 or So 600 damages.
But when l got my judgment, how l was
to collect the amount OF that judgment was
slight puzzle to me. Therefore the settlement was
made in the way 1t was. In satisfaction for de-
mands Tor damages OF So, 900 took what they call
the amount OF $425. The work that had been done
In front OF my property, which, II done upon just
principle, would not have cost, under my own
supervision, verify believe but, as l say, do
not wish to do them any injustice or to speak as
an experD-I verify believe would not have cost
halT the Sum-that is my one-Slxth oil it, And
accordingly gave them that quttance. and took
from them a discharge OF all claims for assess
ments upon me-"
Mr.. Blickensdorfer, the engineer, testified that
on making his measurements he did not get any
explanations which were volunteered. He had to
get what he wanted by asking good idea OF his
opinion OF the way measurements were made is
expressed in the following replies to interroga-
tOrtes:-
Mr.. Wllson-Have you found any case where the
charge against the government Is cOrrectf
Answer-NOt according to my views.
Question-Have you found any case where the
charge against the government Ia less than 1t
should be?
AnSwer--NO, sir.
Extraordinarily morep
Answer-Yes. sir.
The arguments OF Judge Merrick and Mr.. Shella-
berger, counsel on the part OF the memo
rialists. before the Joint Special Commit

at this stage what Brennan, Loew, hayes, McCooi,

CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDACY.
Fifth district: First to sixth wards inclusive,

Jonn Fox is against him, aud II James Hayes fails
IN securing the nomination for Register he may
seek the nomination. Congressman Roberts re-
sixth district: Seventh Eleventh and Thirteenth
Wards.-Sam Cox desires to be nominated In this
thus district there Is also candidate Tor Register,
Judge Shandley, who may be soothed, II as-
appointed, by being nominated for Congress. COX
Seventh district: Tenth and Seventeenth
wards.-In this district, which is peculiarly Gek
man. the republicans propose to run Ex-Governor
Solomon. The democratic nomination will be
given to ex-Congressman CHAMBER or ex-Congress-
Dreamer may again secure 1t.
Eighth district Ninth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth and
part OF Eighteenth ward.-The republican majority
in this dstrct is about 500 and the democrats will
probably nominate q liberal republican, either
General Conkling or General Cochrane. No chance
for a straight-Uut democrat.
Ninth District: The west portions OF Twentieth,
Twenty second and Twelfth wards.--In this dis
trct there are already three democratic candi-
dates In the tieid-Assemblyman Blumenthal, John
Hardy and Fernando Wood. The old leud between
Wood and the Tammany leaders Is substantially
healed and 1t Is probable that he will secure the
regular nomination.
Tenth District: East portions OF Eighteenth,
Nineteenth and Twenty-nrst wards.--Among the
numerous aspirants for Congressional honors In
this district those most prominently named are
Henry Causen, DR.. Theodore Mierson and Assem-

Eleventh District: East portions OF the Twen-
teth, Twenty-second and Twelfth wards, and west
portions OF the Nineteenth and Twenty.lrst
