A Clever Piece of Jugglery.

A materialized spirit was shot in
st. Louis, the other evening; skeptic
offering $50 for the privilege. This is
the test to which the mediums have been
challenged to submit their apparitions,
but the result will not be a whit more
satisfying of their spiritual character.
The preparations made for the expert
ment were elaborate, and took place in
the presence of small audience, con-
sisting of few believers and reporters
of all the st. Louis papers. The medi-
um, w. G. Clark, stripped naked before
several reporters ard the skeptic, Henry
Iimkens then dressed himself in a white
shirt, white linen trousers, and white
hose, provided by Timkens. The cab
met, which had been put together ex-
pressly for the occasion, and was simple
shell of plain boards, was examined at
the last moment before Clark's entrance
Tinkens had brought a brace and bit,
and bored holes in the floor of the cab
met, through which he passed stout
cords The medium took his scat on
the floor, with his back against the wall
frlrthest from the naturalization aper-
trTe, and Timkens proceeded to cord
him down; binding each leg above and
below the knee; tying his hands togeth-
er, drawing them down to the bottom of
the box, passing the rope through and
fastening it, as in all these bindings, on
the outside; the body and neck were
likewise tied against the end of the box.
Timkens was sure after this that he
shouldn't shoot the medium, at all
events, and the door was shut. In few
minutes there was rapping all around
the box, then Il period Of silence, then
suspicious creaking, as of cords, and in
half an hour, while the company were
making horrid music, the curtain moved
aside and an unearthly countenance ap-
peared. 1t seemed, says a reporter, like
that of q Greek statue, its features clear,
distinct, aud moveless as marble; it was
illumined by soft light; the eyes were
wide open, but there was ono specula-
ton" in them. The whole company
had gazed at the ghostly face for some
time when q friend OF Timiins fred his
rifle. Not the least impression was pro-
duced upon the mysterious face, which
remained q few seconds before the cur
tain slid across and hid IL. When the
door was opened, several minutes after,
Clark was found just as Tinkens tied
him, though the cords had evidently
been strained a little. He was very
much exhausted. The reporters say that
they don't see how there could have
been any imposition about this. The
rife-ball certainly went through the face,
whatever it may have been, for it was
found in n board on the wall behind the
cabinet through which it had passed in
range with the aperture at which the
face appeared.

ing potion was administered. One after
another they ceased their harangues, and
all became quiet within the walls of the
institution. The "sedative mixture
worked beautifully. Every one of the
patients to whom it had been admins
tered was stone dead.
We do not know whether DIR. Howard,
the superintendent, felicitated himself
next day on the extraordinary success of
his prescription, but he certainly had
cause to do so. 1t is one of the most
brilliant achievements in medical his
tory. And it is pleasing to see that
genius is appreciated in st. Louis, for
DIR. Howard receives 81, 500 year for
drawing up prescriptions for the insane
paupers of the county, and is likely to
be continued in his Office for an indefi-
mite period.-Chica9o Times.

THE OLD sCHOoLMAsTER.
by GEORGE W. BuNeAY.

The masters face is wrinkled now,
His thin, dark hair is turning gray;
Deep burrows OF the unseen plOw
Are on his forehead. Who can stay
The clock of time and make il slow,
And lcngthen out his holiday?
His ears are dull, his eyes are dim,
lie bends beneath load OF years;
With feeble step and faltering limb,
He gropcs along vale of tears,
And soon the bell viii ring for him
sumpons from the heavenly spheres.
He is q good old faithful man,
Worn with hard study, toll and care;
His head was ever sound TO plan,
His heart another's grief could share.
. Zach one should do the best hc cam
He wrote i'm copy round and fair.
The old school-house is standing now,
O'erPrown with moss upon the green,
And the inhospitable hough
That furnished rods. looks bare and mean
1t shivers in the winds that blow,
And whispers of things that have been.
fountain sparkles from the hill,
Adown the rocks the waters race,
And fancy deems the trickling rill
A tear stream on dame natures face,
For school is out and some are still,
And this is a deserted place.
We who survive are pupils yet.
How many teachers we have had;
Prosperity and scathing Debt
Masters that made us poor and sad;
Affiiction, that made faces wet,
And Hope and JOY, that made rs glad.

tribution of the finery appeared to have
been made, and shawls, ribbons, and
feathers futtered about in all directions.
The ludicrous appearance of one young
fellow, who had arrayed himself in a
muslin gown and the bonnet of one of
the ladies, would, under other circum-
stances, have afforded matter of amuse-
ment.
The bloodthirsty villains who inaugu-
rated the massacre have long since fol
lowed their victims across the Styx, and
the remnant of their posterity has passed
on toward the setting sun. The battle
field is the site of vast city, where art,
science, and commerce marshal their
harmless but ever-advancing hosts. All
this in but little more than half a cent
ury. Verify, the world moves

0uieting the Insane.

The county insane asylum, of st.
Louis, is very quiet for lunatics' refuge
at present, but strange to say, the insti-
tuition is the cause of great deal of noise
outside its own walls. 1t happens this
way: Last week DIR. Howard, the medi-
cal superintendent of the asylum, per-
ceiving that his patients were becoming
somewhat noisy and violent in their de-
meanor, set about concocting a sedative
mixture to quiet their nerves. The re-
suit of his labors was the preparation of
the following prescription:
Fluid extract coniun. l6 ounces.
Morphia slilphatc, "a grains
Atropia belladonna, y of grain.
Bromide of potash. ounces.
With the addition OF four ounces of boiling water
That looks like q quieting mixture.

scrlptlon was put mp in a big bottle, and
the sedative mixture" was ready for
the noisy patients of the st. Louis County
Insane Asylum. Last Friday night.
while some of the lunatics were kicking
mp racket iii their crazy way, the watch
woman OF the establishment sailed forth
through the corridors with her sedative
mixture i'll her hand. Old John Roch-
ford was loudly proclaiming his preten-
slons to the throne of England or the
Presidency of the United States. Him
the nurse prevailed upon to try a little
OF the new mixture, and he quieted down
beautifully. Anna Newman. Christian
kOenig, and Anna Peters were airing
their respective vagaries and eccentrici-
ties for the entertainment OF their fellow
bnatics, and TO each of them the quiet

TIE Buffalo Erprcss, right in the face
of the opening day Of the races, "ven-
lures to remark gently that the race
horse is public nuisance, and damage
to his owner. The improvement of
thoroughbred horses is one in which no
public or private good is subserved." And
goes on to say that "blood viii not tell, F"

upon they will not molest the corn.

General. nnrn.lde and mucLner

Immediately after the organiza-
ton OF the senate Of Indiana, Cen
eral Ambrose u. Burnside, tho
United States senator elect from
Rhode Island, and General S. b.
Bucknor, Of Kentucky, appeared on
the floor upon the invitation extend
cd by the senate during tho morn
ing session. General Burnside,
being introduced to the senate,
made very happy and nice little
speech. He stated that Indiana
was his native home that he had
resided here until he was eighteen
years of age, and had received his
education and first military commits
sion from this state. He stated that
he was passing through the city on
n business trip, in company with
his old friend, General Buckner
that during the late unpleasautness
he had become separated from Gen
cral Buckher, and that ut one time
in east Tennessee he was very anX-
lous TO meet General Buckner and
his friends, but for some reason that
gentleman did not care to meet him
perhaps for the reason that he,
Burnsides, had more friends about
that time than General Buckner
had. He said that they both met,
however, after the war, and renewed
their cordial relations. Stated that
in the senate he would do all in his
power to enhance the interests OF
Indiana. The senate then took a
recess of ten minutes, and the two
distinguished gentleman were intro
duced to the members, and pleas
ant reunion was had.
The senate coming to order again
General Buckner was again formally
introduced. lie replied to the in
PRODUCTION by saying that he was
glad to meet with the citizens of
Indiana. That tho interests of his
state and Indiana were closely
allied. Said that he would have met
his old friend, General Burnside, in
east Tennessee, at the time alluded
to, only tor the reason that he had
to leave for another point on very
pressing and important business.
He said that if two men like him
self and his friend, General Burn
side, could meet, forget all the
bitterness engendered by the late
war and become reconciled, he
thought that all citizens could. At
the conclusion of General Buckner's
little speech he was warmly ap.
plauded, and, the senate again talk
ing recess, general shaking of
hands and good time followed. The
senate was 'busted" for the day on
account of the pleasant occasion, and
transacted no business

Liver COMPLAINT,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.

Symptoms Of a Diseased Liver.
DAM in the right side, under the
j edge OF the ribs, increase on pres
sure; sometimes the pain Is in the
left side; the patient is rarely able
to lie on the left side; sometimes
the pain is felt under the shoulder
blade, and il frequently extends 10
the top Of the shoulder, and is some
times mistaken for rheumatism II
the arm. The stomach is affected
with loss of appetite and sickness;
the bowels in general arc costivc,
sometimes alternative with lax; the
head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with a dull, heavy sensation
in the back part. There is generally
a considerable loss OF memory, &C
companicd with a painful sensation
of having left undone something
which ought to have been done. A
slight, dry cough is sometimes an at
tendant. The patient complains Of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning.
and he complains of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several Of the
above symptoms attend the disease,
but cases have occurred where few
of them existed, yet examination of
the body, after death, has shown the
LIVER to have been extensively de-
ranged.

CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders Of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases Of Consumption,
cured by this preparation, are publicly known,
so remarkable rs hardly to be believed, were
they not proven beyond dispute. As remedy,
it is adequate, OH which the public may rely
for full protection. BY curing Coughs, the
forerunners Of more serious Disease, 1t saves un-
numbered lives, and an amount Of suffering not
to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep it OIL hand rs protection against the early
and unperceived attack OF Pulmonary Alice
tons, which are easily met Mt first, but which
become incurable, and too often fatal, if neg
lected. Tender lungs need this defence; and it
is unwise to be without ii. As u safeguard TO
children, amid the distressing diseases which
beset the Throat and Chest Of Childhood, CHERRY
PICTORIAL is invaluable; for, by its timely use,
mutitudes are rescued from premature graves,
and saved to the love and affection centred on
them. It acts speedily and surely against Ordi-
