referred to Is still further confirmed BY the con-
siderntion Of his Christian profession. His guile
less sincerity rendered Il sntecedently highly I'm:
probable that he would make q false profession o.
religion. But, aside from this, there was every
thing in his circumstances to preclnde sucn an
idea. His wealth and popularity opened to him
many avenues Of worldly honor and advancement,
pleasure. To turn away from these into the mar
row path Of selEdeniGl and take up the cross OF
the Christian, could only have been the prompt
ing Of mind convinced and . heart subdued oy
the power Of religious mPressionB. The sincerity
OF his Christian faith beng assumed, nothing but
apparent, could reconcile this state Of heart and
mind with the theory Of voluntary self-destruc-
"Sufiee It to say that this theory appears most
improbable to those to whom he was best and
most intimately known, as Inconsistent alike with
his lifelong character and its latest Ineligible
manifestations. His memory Is entitled to the
benefit Of every confederation that can relieve his
name from the shadow Of painful doubt.
"There is but one source OF true consolation,
shared alike by the loftiest philosophy and the
humblest fath-the hope OF happiness in world
where the wrongs, sutierinRs and misunderstood
ings Of this life shall be compensated and set right
by the hand OF divine justice and love.
-"In that bright world the eye Of faith may see
our brother now, purified, by the divine baptism
in which he trusted, from all the stains Of earth;

now filled with heavenly light, and all that was
dark and mysterious in his own fate seen In its

tatished and rejoicing In the mercy and love Of

GRAND LARCENY.
A Washington Thief Arrested in Marlboro.


Detective Csomes returned yesterday afternoon
from Marlboro, Nd, bringing with him George
Simms, colored, who was indicted by the grand
jury last week for grand larceny, in stealing
clothing from Rachel Sutherland. The accused
was arrested in Prince Georges county shortly
after the robbery and confined in the Marlboro
Jail to await the action Of the authorities this
city. He is . bright mulatto, probably rs years
OF age, well built, and has the appearance OF be-
ing strong and desperate man. The detective
evidently was inclined to the same opinion, and
did not feel disposed to lose his prisoner while on
the way to this city; for RlIer securing cuff of
the manacles to the wrist Of Simms he very pru-
IDENTIFY fastened the other about his own, thereby
making his escape impossible.
As the two LETT the train, on arriving at the
depot, and marched towards police headquarters
locked together, they attracted considerable at
tention. Those unacquaintCd with the detective
wondered where the officers were that had the
parties in charge, and what crime such a genteei
appearing man could have been guilty OF that he
should be handcufed with so desperate look
ing character as was his companion. But the
perambulRtOr was Indifferent to the staring; he
was Cognizant Of the facts in the case, which was
sufficient to satisfy him and eXplain!his situation

DR. STANDARD REMEDIES,
The standard remedies for all diseases Of the
lungs are SCHENCK's PULMONIC SYRUP,
SCHENCK's SEA-WEED Tonic and SCHENCK's
MANDRAKE PILLS, and, If taken before the lungs
are destroyed, q speedy cure is effected.
To these three medicines DR.. ]. H. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success In the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup rpens the morbid matter
in the lungs; nature throws it of by an easy ex-
pectoratiOn, for when the phlegm or matter is
ipe a slight cough will throw It off, the patient
has rest and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the PulmOnic Syrup to do this,
Scbenck's Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea-
weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the
stomach and liver. Sehenck's Mandrake Pills
act on the liver, removing all distractions relax
the gall bladder, the bile starts freely, and the
liver is soon relieved.
Schenek's Sea-weed Tonic is gentle stimuIaut
and Alternative; the alkali of which it is COM
posed mixes with the food and prevents souring.
to healthy condition, so that the food and the
Pulmonic Syrup will make good blood; then the
lungs heal and the patient will surely get well if
care is taken to prevent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DIR. Sehenck either
personally by letter, do so at his principal
office, corner Of Sixth and Arch Streets PhlladeI-
phla, every Monday.
Sehenck's medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout the country.

Died Suddenly of Heart Disease.


How common is the announcement. Thousands
are suddenly swept into eternity By this fatal
malady. This disease generally has its origin in
impure blood filled with irritating, poisonous ma
terials, which, circulating through the heart, irri
tate its delicate tissues. Though the irritation
may at first be only slight, producing little pal
pitation or irregular action, or dull, heavy, or
sharp darling pains, yet by and by the disease
becomes firmly seated, and Inflammation, or n.y.
pertrophY, or thickening.of the lining meno rane
or of the valves is produced. How wise to give
throbbing or pain in the region Of the heart
should acmOnish one that all is not right, and II
you would preserve 1t from further disease, you
must help It to beat rightly by the use Of such a
remedy as will remove the cause Of the trouble.
Use DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery before
the disease has become too seated, and 1t will, by
its great blood purifying and wonderful regulat-
ing properties, effect perfect cure. 1t contains
medicinal properties which act specifically upon
the tissues of the heart, bringing about healthy
action. Sold by all frst-class druggists.
