Governor Kellogg has never had possess

election returns on which he relies to es-

be as well to leave such documents in the
custody Of disinterested parties.

The Senate of the United States-that we

ment of his, intended to draw its teeth, was
defeated-probably by a pretty strict party
vote-will be accepted by some as bearing out
his theory. Mr.. Bayard need not be too
much alarmed, however. The American

THE French Commission that investigated
the case of the transatlantic steamer T. Amer
ique, have made report commencing length
ened vessels at the expense of French sea-
manship. The report says that the length
ening did not weaken the vessel at all, and
that she was seaworthy when abandoned.
The chief engineer was ignorant of the
mechanism of the pumps, and pumped two
hundred metres of water an honr into the
vessel instead of out. The resulting deluge
frightened the captain and crew, and they
took to the boats. We manage reports diff
ferently on this side of the water, and make
it point to white-wash everybody. The
scarlet sinner invariably comes out white
as wool. The process is quite as thorough as
that in sheac bleachery mill.

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.
b. o. her remedies advertised as cures for Consump-
tion, probably contain opium, which is somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases, and if taken freely by
consumptive patients, it must do great injury; for
its tendency is to confne the morbid matter in the
system, which Of course, must make cure impossi-
BILE.
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 secretions, and expe all the diseased matter from
the body. These are the only means by which Con-
sumption can be cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the
only medicines which operate III this way it is obvi-
GUS they are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary
Consumption Each bottle of this invaluable medi-
cine is accompanied by full directions.
