DR.. r. Y. Pierce, Buffalo, Sslo York:
DEAR Sir: 1t is with q happy heart that I pen
these lines to acknowledge that you and your
Golden Medical Discovery and Purgative Pellets
are blessings to the world. These medicines can
not be too highly praised, for they have almost
brought me out Of the grave. Three months ago
1 was broken out with large ulcers and sores on
my body, limbs and face. procured your Col
den Medical Discovery and Purgative Pellets,
and have taken elk bottles, and to-day am in
good health, all those ugly ulcers having healed
i thought at one time could not be cured. Al
though can but poorly express my gratitude 70
you, yet there is a drop OF JOY in every word
write. Gods blessing rest on you and your won
derful medicines is the humble prayer Of
Yours truly, JAMES o. BELLS.
When a medicine will promptly cure such terri
BILE eating ulcers and free the blood Of the vrulent
poison causing them, who can longer doubt It's
wonderful virtues2 DR.. Pierce, however, does
not wish to place his Golden Medical Discovery
in the catalogue Of Qusek patent nostrums by
recommending It to cure every disease, nor does
this, that there Is but one form Of blood disease
that 1t will not cure, ana that disease Is cancer
He does not recommend his Discovery for that
disease, yet he knows Il 20 be the most searching
blood cleanser yet discovered, and that Il will
free the blood and system Of all other known
raj. The Golden Discovery Is warranted BY him
TO cure the worst forms Of Skin Diseases as all
forms Of Blotches, Ptmples and Eruptions; also,
all Glandular SWelltngs, and the worst form OF
Scrofulous and liberated Sores OF Neck, Legs or
other parts. and all ScrofulOus Diseases Of the

COLLEGIATEs.
National Alumni Association.


movement was commenced in the spring of
1874 for forming society Of the alumni Of the
various colleges and universities throughout the
United States, and several very promising meet
ings have been held to effect an organization
which, 1t was decided, should bear the above
title. meeting was held last evening for the
purpose Of perfecting and consummating the
plan. The rooms were filled to overlooking with
the graduates Of Yale, Harvard, BoWdoin and
Dartmouth Colleges and Cornell University, and
other American educational institutions, mostly
citizens Of Washington: Among them were Gen.

Chief Justice W ate, the president-elect Of the
association, being absent, the vice president,
Prof Wedgwood, occupied the chair.
DR.. Sunderland, the secretary-elect, read .
number OF communications from various persons
who had been rendered positions Oh the board Of
directors, accepting or declining the honor. Also
letters commencing the movement.
The debate upon the subject Of the formation of
the association was very extended, and was par
ticipated in by most every one present. There
was some division Of sentiment in the matters Of
name, object and extent of the society, occasloned
by the presence Of gentlemen who were not
aware that the process of organization had pro-
gressed so far, and who had lRbOred under the i'm
preston that the society was Just being formed;
but the very best of good humor prevailed and the
smooth-pOinted remarks kept the assemblsge in q
roar of laughter. There was finally a compromise,
as there seemed to be q strong sentiment in favor
of bringing the alumni Of the country iRto more
intimate relations, and Of promoting 9 frsternal
and friendly feeling among them, and II was re-
solved that the meeting be treated as
PRIMARY MEETING.
Gen. Browne and Mr.. Gary were then unsni-
meusly chosen, respectively as chairman and sec
rotary, and acknowledged the honors In very 1T
ting speeches.
After lengthy debate, in which various plans
were presented, It was decided to appoint q CON-
mittee Of three, representing the various dissent
ing elements with full power to draft q constitu-
tion and bylaws, when in their opinion would
meet the necessities Of organization.
DR.. Sunderland, Messrs. F. Miller and George
Mason were appointed that committee, amid ap-
plsuse.
The meeting adjourned at about 1850, with q
very good prospect for the formation of q large,
powerful and influential society. The next meet
ing will be hereafter announced.

tees johnson, Brooks and Ryder, Of the seventh,

The meeting was called to order by Superin-
tendent Cook, who briefly instructed the teachers
in relation to matters of general Interest in the
school room, after which he read Q comparative
statement Of school statistics for the months Of
September, October, November and December,
1873, together with q comparative showing for
the same months in 1874, commencing with the

Superintendent Cook, with . view Of creating
still greater interest on the part Of the teachers,
gave . comparative view Of excellence indicated
BY the same statistics in the several school build
ings. In percentage of attendance for the four
months tie Randall and Rhees buildings stood
first, the Lincoln second, Chamberlain, John
F. Cook and Sumner third, Stevens fourth, Love

from the personal qualification felt by favora-
BILE comparison, the information impaired BY
Superintendent Cook assists them very materially
in fessening the arduous duties and responsible
ties incumbent upon them by virtue OF their POSI-
ton.
AFTER congratulatory addresses by the gentle
men present, the meeting adjourned.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
The hour Of o'clock having arrived, Miss An
thony and Mrs. Stanton arrived, and quietly TAX
ing OF their WrappinEs, prepared for business as
though nothing had happened. After few mo-
ments' consultation, Mrs. Stanton stepped To- the
front, and said that in the organisation Of the
ing could be fairer than that providing they
spoke to the question. She next read memorial
which Is to be presented to Congress.
On motion Of Miss Anthony, the address was
Mrs. Blake, Mrs. Carrie and Burnham made
spirited addresses, and the latter submitted q
resolution, setting forth that citizens suffrage
convention be held in Philadelphia July 4 1876.
Mrs. Stanton followed In q few remarks, and
then Miss Anthony started the finance movement
at this stage OF the session, and the audience
started to go home. Miss Anthony remarked
that she never saw such moving audience.
The meeting then adjourned till7 p. m.
EVENING SESSION.
The attendance was sufficient to I'LL all the
space at the night session. The proceedings were
several times interrupted by the noise Of disor-
Derby persons, who were indignant at not being
able to get into the body Of the hall These people
should tax q the advice Of Miss Anthony and stay
away If theJ have not respect enough for them
selveslor the sex Of their mothers to be civil.
Addresses were made by Misses Kicker and Coz
gems, which were full Of practical ideas Of what
should be the paramount object Of ladies in life.
Miss Anthony wanted more money. She had
realized only $50. The hall cost Zoo, and she
wanted another Sl0o 70 deray the expenses Of Miss
CoIJens. A collection was taken up.
Mrs. Blake was introduced after some confu-
sion made by the boys present voting down the
resolution for Centennial woman suffrage meet
ing in 1876. She was frequently interrupted by
uncivil exclRmations Mrs. stanton next tried
to speak, and after a little time succeeded IN Sc
curing . hearing. She attempted to rebuke the
boys by saying they had evidently not been edu-
Gated TO respect their mothers. DR.. Walker was
frequently called for, but did not respond. Miss
Anthony finally gave notice that the officers Of
the convention would remain at Willard's hotel
few days, where they would be glad to see their
friends She thanked the audience for their at
tendance, and declared the convention adjourned.
1t is to be hoped that strangers meeting in con-
vention here will not again be subjected to such
disgraeeful inhospitality and insult by the youth
Of the District.

Braum's AutotYnes,

The exhibition Of the autotype pictures an
nouneed to-day, by Messrs. Warren Choate * Co.,
will doubtless attract to their store all lovers of
art. The difficulty Of reproducing the original
drawings of the great masters has been a want
long felt but now completely satisfied by the Pc
euliar autotype process. In these pictures every
line and dot, as we'll as the very pigment and ma
terial used by the old masters themselves, are
reproduced. The works of Angelo, Leonardo di
Ninei, Raphael and the others Of the immortal
painters Of old are by this process placed in our
possession as If by magic. Messrs. Choate & Co.
will continue their exhibition Of the autotypes
for few days, and their enterprise should be en-
Outraged by liberal patronage.

scHKEcK's PULMOSIo SYRUP, SEA WEED TONIC
AND MANDRAKE PILLS.
These deservedly celebrated and popular medf-
ctnes have effected revolution in the healing
art, and proved the fsllacy Of several maxims
gress Of medical science. The false supposftion
that consumption is incurable" deferred physi-
clans from attempting to ind remedies for that
disease, and patients afflicted with It recOnciled
themselves to death without making an effort to
escape from doom which they supposed to be-
edT,ntGos ,a IS now proved however that

them apparently desperate ones) by Sehenek's
Pulmonie syrup alone, and In other cases by the
same medicine in connection with Sehenek's Sea
Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one or both, &C
cording to the requirements Of the case.
Dr.Schenek himself, who enjoyed uninterrupted
good health for more than forty years, was sup
posed at one time to be at the very gate Of DEATH
his physicians having pronounced his case hope
less and abandoned him to his fate He was cured
by the aforesaid medicines, and since his recovery
many thousands similarly affected have used DR..
Sehencks preparations with the same remarkable
success.
