These medicines have undoubtedly periorme ed
more cures OF consumption thsn any o,her remefy
known TO the American public. They are con-
pounded OF vegetable ingredients, and contain
nothing which can be injurious to the human con-
sttution Other remedies advertised as cures for
consumption probably contain opium, which is a
somewhat dangerous drug in all cases, and IL
taken freely by consumplive patients, it must,do
great INJURY; for its tendency is TO 1oontine the
II bid matter in the system, which. of course,
must make cure impossible. Schenck's Pull
monte Syrup is warranted not TO contain a par
ticle Of opium: II is composed Of powerful, but
harmless herbs, which act on the lungs liver
stomach, and blood, and thus correct all morbid
seeretions and expei all the diseased matter from
the body. These are the only means by which
can be cured, and, as Sehenck's Pull
monte Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic. and Mandrake
Pills are the only medicines which operate in this
way, Il is obvious they are the only genuine cure
for pulmonary consumption. Each bottle or this
medicine is accompanied by full direc-

Resisting the Eva one.

Alta camp-meeting, not long ago,
man clad in thin linen suit, seated
himself on one of the riekety benches
beside fat man, who occupied full
one-tbird of the concern. When the
services were ended the fat man
arose, and the gentleman in linen
suddenly began twisting about in a
surprising manner, while his eOunte-
nance was significant Of mortal
anguish.
His actions attracted the attention
of some of the brethren, and one Of
them, a solemn-visaged individual,
who looked as though be had just
swallowed pill, approached the
writhing body. and laid his hand on
the mans shoulder and said:
Brother, if you are resisting the
cruel promptings of the Evil One.
strive manfully, and you will triumph
at last. Remember Jacob wrestled
with the angel, and"
II dunno but be did," interrupted
the agonized man, "but if Jacob had
the seat of his trousers and a little Of
his hide caught in a cOnsarned crack,
he wouldn't feel ike raslin' with an
angel or any other critter !"

On stepping ashore the first thing
the geologist notices is the volcanic
character of every stone and pebble
and grain of sand. The beach is not
white, but black. The gravel on the
streets has the appearance of black
lead. Theldool steps are blocks of
black lava, honeycombed by the in
tensity of the heat to which it has
been subjected. One who travels in
Iceland must know the pony-wisely,
if not too well-for he is the sole
dependence on the roads, which are
many pony paths. There was q
great lot of the little fellows in town
yesterday. They go about in strings,
stout cord or rope fastening the
lower jaw of one to the tail of the
other. Thus half a dozen are at
tached in line-and the farmer who
has to come to market trots home
ward on the foremost of his string
Of ponies, and the rest, tied tail to
jaw, with pack saddles piled with
Gods heads, or other merchandise,
follow, and keep step nicely. The
prevailing color among the ponnies
is sorrel-(they are of all the horse
colors though)-and they are dis
tinguished by an abundant growth of
hair 1t Is not unusual to see their
tails clipped squarely to prevent them
dragging the ground This abun-
dance of tail hair gives fastening
for the useful rope that regulates the
next pony in order. A question
arose whether the little fellows were

feet answered il in the affirmative. /

A queer Hen story.

From West Chester, Pa, there
comes to us the following sad story
Of a well-meaning hen: A man by
the name Of Lot Fithian, of that
place, had been the owner Of a hen,
that, to all appearance, was Just like
Others of her tribe, except that ste
had ceased to perform the functions
of well behaved madam chicken
she didn't lay any eggs. This was
all the more singular when it was
observed that she did not show dis
position to s'cluck.n The hen SEEM
ed to thrive and eat well, but it was
evident she had something on her
mind. She seemed weighed down
with grief Of some undiseharged duty.
A few days ago Mr.. Fithian killed
the chicken, and on disecting her dis
covered twenty-eight full seized, well
shaped eggs, the only difference be-
tween them and marketable eggs be-
ing that they were minus a hard shell.
The cause Of the poor hens despOnd-
eney was now explained She had
done her duty, had prepared her eggs
for delivery, but owing to some OBJ
struetion nature refused to perform
her share of the work. What would
have been the ultimate consequences
of this had the hen been allowed to
live -on we are not prepared to say (;
but it certainly is a strange freak of
nature. the similitude OF which we

the Last Nan.

II is said there must be last man
in a procession; and it must always
be so until some way is discovered of
making up the procession in a circle,
and then giving it motion like
rotary she'll, turning round on its own
axes and going strait ahead also.
This man is a weary, worn, pathetic
creature, who looks as If life was a
burden to him. He is a rusty, seedy
biped, without any good clothes. No
stars blaze on his breast. No banner
shields him from the fiery sun. His
ears never hear the inspiring notes
of the band. BE catches all the dust
of the procession. Bystanders rush
in front of him with impunity. He
has no pride at all. There is no pomp
about him, no majesty Of mien. He
always looks sick, tired, dishevelled,
and forlorn. Small boys jeer at him.
Bus drivers contemporary order
him out of their way. Reckless
Young men make desperate efforts to
drive over him. He gets mixed up
among newsboys, bootblacks, yellow
dogs, advertising wagons, fan sellers,
draws, and frantic women rushing
after erratic children, and losses the
procession, and by the time he regains
it be is a poor, harrassed, detected
man, and a brother, and an object
of universal pity. The chances are
that If he does not go off with sun
stroke or get run over by an ice
cart. and have to be taken home in
an express wagon, he will, as the re-
suit Of the pathetic situation, get
drunk with a remarkable dispatch
before sunset So long as there must
be last man in every procession,
there should be some compensation
He should be made attractive. Let
him be handsomely decorated aud
caparisoned. Let him have two
aprons. Let him carry banner and
have an American flag in his hat.
Let him also have q drawn sword
with which to keep off the small
bows and yellow dogs, and thus the
last man in the procession will cease
to be the most wretched object IN
existence.

fest Injustice. The city missionary,
in repiv expressed his sorrow that
he should be engaged in discussion
with a man who was living with
woman TO whom he was not married
The materialist rose angrily to hls
feet to repudiate the assault upon his
wife. The missionary retorted that
according to bis own showing the
materiaIist was by no means the
same man who vowed eternal coz
staney to a woman at the altar twenty
wears ago. nor was his sO-cabed VIE
The same woman. As the two exist
ing persons had never been married

was ingenious as illustrated in the
sbsurd conclusion to which the argu-
n,ents oftbe sheer materislists must
bring them.

The w,ld Horses of Kansas.

Large numbers Of wild horses
abound on the prairie between the
Arkansas and Smoky Hill Rivers
They are all sizes aud colors, and are
the widest of ell wild animals. They
usually roam in bands of six to twen-
ty, and will run at sight Of man two
miles away. A great many domestic
horses, as well as mules, which have
strayed away from their owners, have
taken up with the wild ones. After
running with them for while, they
become as wild as their untamed
companions. Various methods have
been adopted to catch these aborigi-
nal horses, but they have generally
proved fruitless. A scrubby colt or
broken down mule are, as a general
thing, the only rewards for all the
time, labor and expense in such Wis
ionarv schemes. Settlers on the from
tier would hail their speedy extine-
tion as blessing, for when domestic
animals get with them, their recove-
ry is simply out Of the question.
Ever since the first emigrant turn
ed his footsteps toward the Pacific
this country has been infested with 8
thoroughly organized gang af high
waymen and horse-thieves, and few
have reached their destination with
out losing stock They hover around
emigrant trains like vultures over a
carcass, waiting for a favorable OPP
portunity to pounce upon their un-
snspecting prey. / know Of one out

that left that place in the Spring for
Silver City, that had nearly all their
stock, some seventy-fve head, stolen
before they had got half way to their
destination. The expedition Lad to
be abandoned, and most of the par
ties returned, sadder but wiser men,
Seldom or never is a horse thief ar
rested; and if by some hoctts pOeus
one is gobbled, it is simply impossi-
bic to convict him, as be always has
host of " friends ready and anx-
ious to prove his innocence. But
their day has come. The country is
being settled by a class Of people
that will protect themselves against
these outlaws, and COMPEL them to
seek other climes to carry on their
nefarious work.

Exposure to Night Air.

An old eminent physician Of New
York, writes to the Tribune, a few
words Of caution, regarding the uni
vel sal habit of sitting upon veran-
dabs exposed to night air, without
sufficiently protecting the person with
additional clothing.
my age and experience as ply
sician enabled me with propriety and
confidence to call the attention Of the
public to q custom now widely prev
alent, principally among the middle
and lower classes, of sitting on their
stoops after sunset. | coneede that
this position after a hot day is one
of comfort, but it certainly is not one
of safety. This opinion is supported
by wears of experience and careful
observation, but in further support OF
it give the following reasons found
ed on sense and the well-knOwn laws
of health.n
1.-THE vapor which under the effects
of the sun rises during the day be-
comes condensed and remains near
the earth at night"
"Under the effect Of heat and IA
tigue. the system at nights is least
able to resist the depressiDginhuence
of dampness and vaporous air. and
therefore the body, if exposed to II,
should be protected by additional
clothing or By exercise"
The fact that no chill is felt ana
that the skin is uncomfortable with
perspiration furnishes no evidence
that we are not unduly exercising
ourselves. On the contrary, the
seeds of many chronic and fatal d.
seases are laid while the system IS IN
that state Of Iassitude and repose pro-.
duced bv a hot day, and while we
are engaged in that seductive en-
ioyment Of trying to keep cool. +"
:. At the very time that clothing IS
a burden we should either protect
ourselves by it or withdraw our skin
and lungs from immediate contact
with damp, sunless, and vaPorous
air. which in Just the proportion tnat
it is grateful to our sense IS des1rue-
tive % our health.
