Judge T. J. Mackey of South Carolina has
returned to his home from visit to Wash
ington, where he had conversation with the
President. He says Gen. Grant asked him
sharply: "Why don't you convict Moses ?'
ana when he replied that he could not get
him into court, the President denounced the
assumption that President or Governor
is above the law as monstrous. In the sub
sequent conversation the Judge represents
the President as saying that there must be a
true reform this fall or the Republican party
would at once repudiate the so-called Repub-
licans of South Carolina.
The New Hampshire Democrats have been
engaging in wild and drunken scramble for
place and plun1er. As if the objects of polit-

only effect of elections to turn one set of men
out of office and give another set their places
and salaries, these people have devoted them
selves to upsettiDg every thing and every body
in the state, and dividing among themselves
the official plumber. And these poor, hungry
wretches pretend to believe that the party
they represent and lead has come fully into
the public confidence, and that the people
looking on this horrid debauch will not revolt
from such spectacle, but will be ready to
open the whole country to it. They learned
nothing from experience.-New York Times.

Boston Boor AND SHOE MARKET-The past
week has been characterized by good dea, of
activity in the boot ard shoe trade, notwith-
standing the intervention of the Fourth. The
effect of that great national holiday upon bust
ness is not so striking as formerly, when the
employees had a quantity of money to spend.
The buyers are 10 the streets in force, and are
purchasing goods and forwarding them to their
destination as fast as they can be turned our.
The movements in boots, brogans and pillow
shoes are active, and rubber goods help to swell
the list. Light goods called for, and manu-
facturers of that class of goods are busy. The
calf boot trade is looking up, and the demand
for childrens' shoes is beiter than it has been.

DIR. SCHENCK's
PulmOnic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and
Mandrake Pills.

These medicines have undoubtedly performed more
cures OF Consumption than any other remedy known
to the American public. They are compounded of
vegetable Ingredients and contain nothing which can
be injurious TO the human constitution.
Other remedies advertised as cures for Consump-
ton, probably contain opium, wDich is a somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases. and if taken freely by
consumptive patients, it must do great injury; for
its tendency is to copline the morbid matter in the
system, which of course, must make cure impossi-
bic.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to
contain particle of opium: 1t is composed of pow
erful but harmless herbs, which act on the lungs,
liver, stomach and blood, and thus correct all NOR
bid secreious and expe all the diseased matter from
the body. These are the only means by which Con-
sumption can be cured, and as Sehenck's Pulmonic
Syrup Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the
only medicines which operate ID this way it is obyi-
Gus they are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary
Consumption Each bottle Of this invaluable medi-
cine is accompanied by full directions.
Dr. Schenck is proiessedy at his principal office,
corner Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, every

Smoking Farewell Pipe.


Closing Exercises at the Chapel at $50 P. M.
The commencement has been an unusually
busy one, the financial condition of the college
and the increasing encroachments on the per-
manent fund causing no small anxiety on the
part of the alumni. Resolutions were intro
duced in the Beard of Overseers, by Gen. j. NJ.
Brown, vesting the choice of overseers in the
alumni. Consideration of them was postponed
for year. Should they pass, the college may
look to a renewal of its old-time prosperity, for
its alumni are very influential body of men,
One of the most pleasing features of this
commencement has been the reunion of the
class of 1924 Prof. C. E. Stowe of Andover,
DIR. w. Hatch of ST. Louis, and Mr.. f. w.
Brooks of New York, graduated fifty years
ago, and have not seen each other since that
time until last Wednesday, when they met at
the Tontine. The three old men have been
constantly together since, conjuring, up t e
memories of 1924.
The class of 1884 also held reunion. The
prominent members present were Hon. Peleg
