SPECIAL NOTICE.

Many who are suffering from the effects OF
the warm weather and are debilitated, are ad-
vised by physicians to take moderate amounts
of whisky two or three times day. in lit
tie while those who adopt this advice fire.
ouently increase the number of " drinks,
and in time become confirmed inebriates. A
beverage which will not create thirst for intox-
icating liquors, and which is intended especi-
ally for tine benefit of debilitated persons,
whether at home or abroad, is DR.. Schenck' 8
Sea Weed Tonic. Containing the juices OF
many medicinal herbs, this preparation does
not create an appetite for the intoxicating
cup, The nourishing and the life supporting
PROPERTIES of many valuable natural produo-
tions contained in it and well known to medi-
cal men have a most Strengthening influence
A single bottle of the Tonic will demonstrate
its valuable qualities. For debility arising
from sickness, over exertion or from any cause
whatever, wine glassful of Sea Weed Tome
taken after meals will strengthen the stomach
and create an appetite for wholesome food.
To all who are about leaving their homes, we
desire to say that the excellent effects Of Dr
Schenck's seasonable remedies. sea meed
Tonic, and Mandrake Pills. are particularly
evident when taken by those who are inJuri-
ously affected by a change of water and diet.

French LegisIative Manners.

The American Congress is bad enough
in the display, at times, Of bad manners;
but there is no legislative body in the
world that is so excitable, unruly and
obstreperous as the French Assembly.
Two weeks ago there was scene OF up
roar and discourtesy that would have
disgraced an American ward meeting.
Several Deputies called each other liars,
and danced at each other in fashion
more honest than jignifed, Until the
President. unable to stop the riotous
proceedings, was forced to adjourn the
assembly.
There are plenty of instances further
back than this session of unparlia-
mentary and disgraceful conduct in that
same tribune. When NJ. Dupin was
President the way he took to quell these
pleasantries was both graceful and in
genious. He held big copper bell in
one hand-a sort of dinner bell-and a
hammer in the other, and whenever he
perceived signs of coming storm he
would pound and ring as furiously as an
old lady at bee-swarming time. But
he was not always able to calm matters
in this manner. Once, it is recorded,
Prince Pierre Bonaparte rushed up to an
antagonist and boxed his ears; once
Count Keranfech, Breton member,
sweetly poured his glass of sugared wa
ter into the face of Deputy of the Left
who had approached to shake an angry
fist at him; and at another time the
whole Assembly rose frantically, all the
members calling each other old women,
and imbeeies and wild beasts, and other
pet names, the jangling bell Of NJ. Dupin
pealing sonorously all the time.

A Tale of Red Tape.

Mr.. Smith, of Boston, sent the other
day o letter to Mr.. Brown at Long
Branch, and being either careless or
ignorant, permitted his missive to be
underpaid by the amount of one cent
Thereupon the authorities, as by law
directed, forwarded this letter to the
Dead Letter Office at Washington.
Thence an Office note was dispatched to
Mr.. Brown to say that letter addressed
to him was lying at that office, and
would be sent to him upon his payment
of one cent. Mr.. Brown, slightly growl.
ing. filled up a printed blank lnclosed
in the note put in the stamp demanded,
while on the envelope he placed the ne.
cessary three cent stamp. Thus, to end
the tale abruptly, Mr. Brown was obliged
TO nav four cents for letter Of no i'm
portance, and the Department gave
the price of the official stamp and sew
eral minutes Of clerks valuable time
to get it to him. Why the one cent
could not have been collected by the
Postmaster subordinate in Long
Branch is a question which nobody out
side the circumlocution can answer.
Mr.. Brown thinks that while that four
cents did not form all his worldly wealth
it was an outrage to make him pay three
cents for Mr.. Smiths stupidity or want
of knowledge. An illustrative instance
of red.tapeism is that Chief Justice
Chase, living within a block of the de-
partment, and certainly well known to
its officials, was once obliged to send
the sum of one cent to the stated re-
eipients before he could get a letter
clearly addressed to him and publicly
advertised as being overweighted to that
amount.

Ill. w. FORMAN. ESQ.
He n Blown mp by Nitro Giycerine, and MR.
rowiy Escapes Death.

Mrs. III. w. Formau has kindly furnished US
with two letters from her husband. ut the
Caribou mines, Colorado. He narrates a very
narrow escape from Instant death last week.
Mr.. +. says:
'Mr. Arnold and myself went to bed in our room
about o'clock, and that is the last know, and
| eau hardly remember that. Sometime in the
night awOke amid a fearful state of something
i cannot describe it-but was out of the house
among the rough stones, and in the chilly air
alone, not knowing where l what had
happened l remember lying my back for
what seemed long time, and looking up, feeling
but little pain, but still suffering. Finally by a
great effort got up, and scrambled up the noun
tain to road, and met an acquaintance; i asked
him where | was, and what had happened, but
his reply do not remember. then had an ill.,
distinct Thought that the nitro-glycerine in the
Sherman mine which adj ,ius ours for about thir
" feet, had exploded. i was led away aud cloth
ed, aud taken to hotel. | could not realize for
a long time what had happened. Finally began
to understand it, aud enquired for Arnold and
the rest of the boys. / was told Arnold was
dead and the others safe. How | escaped
none but God knows, for both houses were liter
ally blown TO atoms and then burned-so they
tell me. l have a small cut on the top of my
head stiff neck, and some holes in the bolton
of my feet made by nails aud stones; otherwise
am all right"
In a latter letter dated on the 10Th, Mr.. For
man says he is getting along very well, although
his shoulder and neck are quite sore. The many
friends of Mr.. F. in this city will r,jpce that his
life is still spared.-AtehisoR Patriot.
