Z Consumptien Can He Cured.


SCHENCKs PULMoNIc SYRUP, ~
SCHENCK's SEAwEED Tonic,
S5HENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS,
Are the only medicines that will cure Pulmonary
Consumption. Frequently medicines that stop
cough will occasion the death of the patient; they
lock the liver, stop the circulation of the blood
hemo rhage follows, and in fact they clog the action
Of the very organs that caused the cough Liver com-
plant and Dyspepsia are the causes OF two-thrs of
the cases of consumption. Many persons complain
pain in the shoulder blade feelings OF drowsness
and restlessness. the food lying heavily on the stem
ach, accompanied with aciditY and belching up of
wind. These symptims usually originate from dis
ordered condition Of the stomach or torpid liver
Persons 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 cogged re
manning torpid and inactive, and almost before they
are aware the lungs are mass of sores, and ulcer
ated, the result of which is death. Schencks Pull
W0nic Syrup is an expectorant which does not con
tain opium or anything calculated to check a cough
suddenly. Schenck's Seaweed Tonic dssolves the
food, mixes with the gastric juices Of the stomach
aids digestion and creates a ravenous appetite.
When the bowels are cOstive, skin sallow, or the
symptoms otherwise of bilious tendency Schenk
Mandrake Pills are required. These medicines are
prepared only by

Judge Durell-The Causes of His] Resig.
natiOn-His Successor.
NEW YORK, Dec. 4-Judge Durel who is
now in the city, was interviewed by a Tribune
reporter, by whom he is reported as saying that
he is the victim of party exigency, that the
head and front of his offending is atliteral con-
struction of the enforcement act, a bad law,
known to him as such, passed by Republican
Congress seeking to perpetuate the Republican
party, but which he found on the statute book
and executed impartialy. He gave in detail
his objections to the laWys strong as its worst
enemy could desire, and said when its nnpopu-
larity and inexpedency had been exposed he
was deserted by those who passed it, and by
them accused of overstepping his authority.
:. A despatch to the Herald says that Walker
cessor, is relative by marriage of the Presi-
dent
A New Orleans despatch states that it is
thought that the appointment of Fearn as sue
cessor of Durell indicates Presidential friendl-
ness to the McEnery government.

STATISTICS show that the men who fought
in the late war are dying much faster than
their contemporaries in civil life. The effects
of the hardships of the service are showing
themselves, and the seeds OF malaria, rheu-
matism and other ills incidental to exposure
are developing. These Lien, though serving
but three or four years, in reality gave de-
cade or more of their lives to their country.
THE Reformed Episcopal Church had
very cheerful time at its first anniversary,
and encouraging prospects are reported.
There are over 5000 communicates, and the
number, is daily increasing. Organized
churches are planted in about thirty commu-
mites, and nearly forty clergymen are en-
gagged in PROSECUTING.
A MAN has just died in Baltimore who has
had seven wives, and who, in the words of a
special dispatch, "fought with distinguished
bravery at the battle of Waterloo, under the
first Napoleon" The mans conduct at
Waterloo is evidently not needed as proof of
his bravery.

The News of the 10th discourses
learnedly and pointedly upon the
"negro and the industrial problem. !"
One has right to look for light
when such a paper as the News
breaches such subject, but if any
thing except the commonest plati-
tudes can be gotten out of the artl,
ole in question, we fail to SEQ it.
Should the negro labor of Texas be
suddenly Withdrawn from the pro.
duction of cotton, how much think
you would the Galveston cotton peo.
pie handle during the next season.
An inexorable law of labor is, it will.
seek the fields that pay the lorgest
return upon physical effort, it will
abandon those that pay the least.
White labor will not seek the un-
wholesome localities near the coast,
when the same effort will produce a
larger, or at least as large, return
in the higher and more healthy loca-
tions in the interior. Whenever the
land owners Of Texas make the till
ing Of their broad acres pleasant as
well as q profitable business for the
iaborer, they can depend upon it,
there will bc NO scarcity Of muscle.
