CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURRD.-Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup, Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic,
Schenck's Mandrake Pills, are the only medi-
cinef that will cure Pulmonary CONSUMPTION.
Frequently medicines that will stop a cough
will occasion the death of a patient; they lock
up the liger, stop 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 wO-thirds of the cases OF CONSUMPTION, Many
persons complain of a dull pain IN the side, con-
stipatiOn, coated tongue, pain in the shoulder
blade, feelings of drOwsiness and restlessness,
the food lying heavily on the stomach, accom-
panied with acidity and belching up of wind.
These symptoms usually originate from a dis
oTderered condition OF the stomach or a torpid
liver.
Persons so affected, if they take one or two
heavy colds, and IL the cough i'm these cases be
suddenly checked, win find the stomach and
liver clOgged, remaining torpid and inactive,
and almost before they are aware the lungs are
a mass of sores, and liberated, the result of
which is death.
Schencks RulmOnie Syrup is an expectOrant
which does not contain opium or ANYTHING cal
cUlated TO check a cough suddenly.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic dissolves the food,
mixes with the gastric juices of the stomach,
aids digestion, and creates a raYenous appetite.
When the bowels are costive, skin sallow, or
the symptoms otherwise Of bilious tendency,
Schenck's Mandrake Pills are required.
These medicines are prepared only By
j. II. SCHENCK & SON,
n. Z. corner Sixth and Arch sts., Phfla-,
And are for sale by all druggists and dealers.

THE COTTON TAX.
Twelve Millions Involved I'm Ten
nessee Suit.

Twelve Millions Involved an IeH
nessee Suit.
Washington (oct. 15) Special to the Cincinnati
Enquirer.
The case of Andrew Hamilton and others
VS.. John r. Dillin, appealed from the
United States Circuit Court for the Middle
District of Tennessee, and set for argu-
ment in the United States Supreme Court
on Monday next, is one of much interest
and importance. Dillin was acting Sur
veyor of Customs at Nashville during
1868 and 1854. and collected taxes al
the rate of four cents per pound
on the raw cotton of Hamilton & 20.
When shipped, the tax amounted tG the sum
of SIS, 00O, the said cotton being purchased
under the United States trade regulations,
and the tax being exacted by the Surveyor
pursuant to the trade regulations OF the
18th of September, 1868, issued by the
Treasury Department under act July IL,
1861. The suit was brought originally
against Dillin in the Circuit Court OF Da-
wilson county, Tenn. aud was thencetrans-
fered TO the Federal Court, where
judgment was found for defendant.
The Court ruled that the act of July, 1861,
conferred the power to make the trade
regulations and exact the tax, and, whether
the act Of July, 1851, conferred such power
or not, the action Of the Secretary in max
ing the regulations, and Of the Surveyor in
exacting the tax, were made valid by the
act Of July 2, 1864. The plaintiffs ex-
cepted to both rulings, and also contended,
if such acts be construed as so intending,
that they were, to that extent, unconstitn-
tional. There is a large array Of counsel
for the plaintiff, namely: Mr.. II. 81. Harri-
son, of Tennessee; I. D. Lincoln, of Gin
cinnati; Edward Jordan, of New York; late
United States Solicitor C.. Cole, of Califor-
mia, and the Hon. William Evarts, of New
York, who figured in the impeachment
trial of Andrew johnson. Tie Attorney
General appears for the Government IL
is estimated that thetax on cotton collected
underthese regulations amounts to as much
as twelve million of dollars, and that if the
present suit goes against the Government
the principle decided will cover the whole
sum. Some assert that New York ring
has been formed, and that the claims have
been gobbled up, but the proof for the as
sertIon, however, probably is not yet fur
niShed.

CORFEZ Chapel.

Says writer at Key West, Florida: On
CouZmel Island are yet to be seen the
walls of the first church ever built on tie
continent of North America. Cortez, be
fore his conquest of Mexico-say about
three hundred years ago-built his first
place of worship on this beautiful island.
The foundation and walls are yet partially
preserved, each side has an elevation of
some ten feet. The altar is covered with
an almost impenetrable growth Of chaparal,
and all about and even inside these ruins
are ancient and modern tOmbS where pat
riarclS rest. The wild flowers bloom over
them in great profusion, and the birds carol
sweet songs morning and evening. \
paved walk extends several hundred yards
westward, but it is now almost buried from
sight in the sod. Excavations are seen,
where searchers for hidden treasures have
delved. There is a fine field there for the
curious to explore. But the natives of the
locality allow it TO rest so quietly that the
dense strawberries almost cover it.

FAT YOUNG LADIES AND VINEGAR

Taken in moderation there is No doubt
that vinegar is beneficial, but in excess it
impairs the digestive organs. Experiments
on artificial digestion SHOW that if the guam
tity of acid be diminished, digestion is re-
tarded; if increased beyond a certain point,
digestion is arrested. There is reason,
therefore, in the vulgar nOtion-unhappily
too often relied on-that vinegar helps to
keep down any alarming adipOsity, and
that ladies who dread the disappearance Of
their graceful outline in curves of plump
ness expanding into "fat,n may arrest so
dreadful result by liberal rotations of
vinegar, but they can only so arrest it at
the far more dreadful expense of their
health. The amount of acid which will
keep them thin will destroy their digestive
powers. Portal gives case which should
be warning. "a few years ago a young
lady in easy circumstances enjoyed good
health; she was very plump, had good APP
petite and a complexion blooming with
roses and lilies. She began to look upon
her plumpness with suspicion, for her
mother was very fat, and she was afraid of
becoming like her. Accordingly she con-
suited a woman who advised her to
drink glass of vinegar daily. The young
lady followed the advice, and her plumpneSs
diminished. She was delighted with the
success of the experiment, and continued it
for more than month. She began to have
a cough; but it was dry at its commence
ment, and was considered as a slight cold
which would go of. Meantime, from dry
it became moist, a slow fever came on, and
difficulty of breathing; her body became
lean and wasted away, night-sweats, swell
ing of the feet and of the legs succeeded,
and a diarThoea terminated her life"
Therefore, young ladies, be boldly fat.
Never pine for graceful slimness and rO-
mantle pallor; but if nature means you to
be rudy and rotund, accept it with laugh
ing grace, which will captivate more hearts
than all the paleness Of circulating Ii
brary.

A YOUNG English woman, only twenty
two years Of age, named Mary Harris, died
on the platform Of railway station, near
London, on Sept. q, literally from a
broken heart. In June, 1873, her husband
ran away from her, and since that time
had not given anything toward hersuppOrt,
or that of her two children.
After a long search for him,
she found out last August that he
was working in Sheffield, where he was
earning good wages. She made up her
mind to go to him, but ibelng without the
money to pay tie fares Of herself and chill
dren, went down to Kent in the hope of
earning enough money as a hop-picker.
She remained there three weeks and con-
trived to save eighteen shillings, and started
for London. She 1had been i'll for
several days previously, and said her
heart was aching and breaking. Upon
reaching the Bricklayers' Arms station
she rose from her seat and attempted to get
out of the carriage, but fell forward into
the arms of her mother, who was with her,
saying, 'AIOther, dear, lead me somewhere.
l want to lie down. Bring Sarah and Joe
to me; am dying" She was placed upon
the platform, but died in the course of a
minute or two, before anything could be
done for her.

rStick a pin here While this tale would
seem to be incredible, it cannot be denied
that there is Trouble brewing in some
localities in the Green river country, if
half we hear be true. Many Of the cOlored
people are dissatisfied, and claim that they
are entitled to portion Of the lands Of the
whites, IL is also stated that some of
them want white wives, and intend 10 have
them. In addition, il is understood
that they believe that Gen. Grant will
upbold them in anything they do, and, if
necessary, will sendwhite Federal soldiers
70 assist them. They have confused &C
couut of Louisiana affairs, and seem to
think IT was a quarrel between whites and
blacks, in which the latter were assisted by
Federal troops, and that the whites were
crushed out. Encouraged by these IDEAS,
and urged on by few arttul and designing
white men and black leaders, IT IS not I'M
possible that an CHeUte OF that KIND may
sooner or later be attempted. l must say

ple in this county are apparently behaving
themselves well, and are seeking employ
ment wherever they can lind it. believe

THERE would seem to be tendency in
some parts of France TO follow the example
of the Italian Government in confiscating
the property of the mOnaStic establishments
in Rome. The grand council of SOleure
is about to consider petition demanding
the suppression of convent and three other
religious institutions. Their combined
property amounts to ., 81, 900 francs in land,
forests, etc. 1t is proposed to capitalize a
sum sufficient to purchase annuities for the
persons dispOssessed, and to apply the re-
mainder 10 the use Of schools and other
public institutions.

ANOTHER EXTINCT MONSTER.
Remains OF an Enormous Animal Ex-
cavated in Michigan-A Species Un-
like the HastOdOn.

Canandagua, Mich, Correspondence OF the
New York Herald.
On Thursday, October /, while scrapine
out the county ditch on his farm, in Sene-
ca township, Lenawee county, Mich, Mr..
Oramon futile came in contact with an
obstruction which overturned his scraper.
On examination it proved to be an i'm
mense horn, the remains of some extinct
animal. Further digging has developed
the other horn, part of the skull, collar
bones and a number Of ribs, also one tooth.
The water running back into the exca-
waited pit has put temporary stop to the
digging, but it will be resumed this morn
ing and measures taken TO preserve the
bones. The animal had evidently died
standing up.
Ihaye Just visited the spot and examin-
ed the bones and the place from which they
were taken. A large number OF physicians
and professors of the Hillsdale and Adrian
Colleges pronounce them horns and not
tusks. They have an outside shell and a
distinct pith.
The space occupied by the skeleton is
over twenty feet long, and the tips of the
horns were about twenty feet apart. The
ends of each are decayed, but they now
measure eight feet nine inches in length,
and mus have measured about ten feet when
whole. Three feet from the large end they
are twenty-five and half inches in cir
conference, and they weigh 175 pounds
each. Some of the ribs were seven feet
long. The tooth secured is frontal tooth
three inches square, and weighs four and a
half pounds. They have been viewed by
several thousand people, many of whom
| ave seen the tusks of the mastOdon, which
are quite common in this State, and all
those agree that these bear no resemblance
TO them
The animals horns must have measured
twenty feet across. His height was proba-
bly, about fifteen fee, and length, indie
pendent of horns, nearly twenty. The
above statement is perfectly reliable
There is no canard about it; and, if you
think proper, you are free to publish it..

A VETERAN revivalist of western MaSsa-
chusetts pines for some old-time preaching.
He remembers when Parson Taggsrt had
a sermon which he was determined
that the people should hear. Having
preached one hour and a half on
it during the forenoon, he told his
audience that he concluded to give them the
other half in the afternoon, but, as he was
afraid half of his audience would not be
there in the afternoon, he would then
