THE CENTENNIAL JUBILEE.

How Voices and Instruments Sound in the
Capitol.
Last Wednesday afternoon, at O'Clock, about
thirty members Of the Arion and Sangerbund
clubs, under prof Carl Richter, visited the Capt.
toll and tried the qualities Of the ROtunds for
musical purposes, with q view of having a Cen
tennial jubilee in that place. They gave the
upper and lower gallery a trial, and found both
unsuitable for concert purposes. TAere was a
commingling Of voices and echoes to such an
extent as to almost entirely drown the music and
completely destroy the harmony AID sweetness.
Donch, with twelve members Of his band with
their musical instruments, were also present, and
found the trouble existing in regard TO their
PLAYING as was met with by the singers Slow
music Sounded tolerably we'll, but quick move.
ment tumbled the sounds together so Oa1ly that
scarce a note was distinguishable, and showed
ccnclusiveIy that the Rotunda would not answer
for Jubilee purposes.

mr. soEEScK,s STANDARD REMEDIES,


The standard remedies for all diseases of the
lungs are SsHENCK's PULMoNIC SYRUP,
SCTEECx's SEA.WEED Tonic and SCHENCK's
MANDRAKE PILLS, and, If taken before the lungs
are destroyed, 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 ripens the morbid matter
in the lungs; nature throws IL of by an easy ex-
pectoration, for when the phlegm or matter Is
ripe q slight cough will throw 1t on, the patient
has rest and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this,
Schenck's Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea-
Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the
stomach and liver. ScheRck's Mandrake Pills
act on the liver removing all distractions, relax
the gall bladder, the bile starts freely, and the
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stImuIant
and alternative; the alkali of which It is COM
posed mixes with the food and prevents souring
1t assists the digestion by tOning up the stomach
to a healthy condition, so that the food and the
Pulmonic Syrup will make good blood; then the
lungs heal and the patient will surely get we'll If
care is taken to prevent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DR.. Schenck, either
personally or by letter, can do SO at his principal
office, corner Of Sixth and Arch streets, PhIladel
phIa, every Monday.
SchencK's medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout the country.

On the 18th day Of April, Congress passed an act
making the necessary appropriation for removing
the archives Of the Government to the District OF
Columbia. Three fOUrths Of century has never
before in the history of the world seen the Capt.

this.
At the end Of the first and second quarters Of
the centenary life Of the Federal City It was
used as . TeprOaeh and disgrace to the nation
that its Capital was not yet out Of her sWaddling

served Tor the third quarter to cast back into its

Mr., H. R. STEVENS:
DEAR SIR: though stranger. want to inform
You what VEGETINE has done for me.
Last Christmas Scrofula made Its appearance In
MY system-laTge running ulcers appearing on me
as follows: One each of my arms, one on my
thigh which extended to the seat, one on my head,
which eat into the skull bone, one on my eft leg,
which became so bad that two physicians came TO
GmDutate the limb, though upon cOnSults on con-
cluded not to do SO, my whole body was so null
Of Serofula that they deemed IL advisable to cut the
sore, which was painful beyond description, and
there quart of matter run from this one sore.
The physicians all gave me up TO die, and said
they could do no more for me. Both OF my legs
were drawn up to my seat and IL was thought If
did get up again would be cripple for life.
when in this condition saw VEGETINE adver-
tised, and commenced taking II in March, and fol-
lowed on with IL until had use sixteen bottles,
and this mOrnin 6 am going 10 pillow corn. well
man. All my tOwnsmeA say IL Is miracle to see
me round walking and working.
In conclusion ! will add, when was enc q ling
such great suffering from that dreadful disease,
Scrofula, prayed the Lord above to take me ont
of this world, but as VEGETINE has restored to me
the blessing OF health, desire more than ever to
live, that Tmay be OF some service to my fellow
men, and know of no better way to aid suffering
humanity than to inclOSe you this statement of my
case with an earnest hope that you will publish IL,
and IL will afford me pleasure TO reply to any COM
municatlon which may receive therefrom.
