SCHENCK'S SEA WEED TONIC.
In the atmosphere experienced here during the
summer months, the lethargy produced by the heat
takes away the desire for wholesome food and fire.
quent persprations reduce bodily energy, particular
ly those suffering from the effects of facilitating dis
cases. In order to keep natural healthful activity
of the system, we must resort to artificial means.
For this purpose Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is very
effectual A few doses will create an appetite and
give fresh vgor to the enervated body For dyspep-
STA 1t is invaluable. Many eminent physicians have
doubted whether dyspepsia be permanently cured
by the drugs which generally employed for that
purpose The Sea Weed Tonic in its nature is total
ly different from such drugs. 1t contains no corro-
sive minerals acids; in fact it assists the regular
operations of nature. and supplies her deficiencies
The tonic in its nature SO much resembles the gastric
juice that it is almost identical with that fluid The
gastric juice the natural solvent which, in healthy
condition of the body, the food to be digested
and when this juice is not excreted in sufficient guam
titles, Indigestion with all its distressing symptoms
follows. The Sea Weed Tonic performs the duty of
the gastric juice when the latter is deficient.

NIGHT BLOOMING CEREUs.-Last evening a
large number of the friends of Mr.. e. P.
Brooks gathered at his residence on Cumber-
land street, witness the unfolding of Night
Blooming Cereus. The plant is quite large
and was recently brought from Cuba by Mr.. G.
w. Sawyer. 1t now grows in Cuban soil, and
in the same box in which it was brought here
in. About four weeks ago four buds made their
appearance from as many different leaves of
the plant Two of the buds were broken off,
and the remaining two bloomed last evening.
At six o'clock the buds began to swell, and in
a short time the petals could be seen to move.
At mine o'clock the flowers were wide open,
fragrant aroma filling the whole room. The
flower is pendant from the edge of the leaf of
the plant The leaves of the flower are of the
purest whiteness and contrast finely with the
dark green of the plant. The interior is very
beautiful. About midnight the flowers began
to close slowly, and in less than two houls
what few hours before was admired by all
present, twas but faded flower" This plant
boss oms once each year.

Singular Custom fof Odessa
Children.

Mr.. EDrroR :--. Hsxicon," your
sewsy correspondent among bis Odessa
items relates a most singular custom
prevaiiing among the children Of that
village; at any rate, it strikes the minds
Of strangers as singular, though, sup
pose, like q thrice told tale, il has be-
come familiar to the inhabitants there,
and-they have therefore ceased to o-ob--
serve it any more, as would seem to be
the case from the artless manner your
correspondent writes Of it. Y He writes
to the TRANscRipr of last Saturday:
s'The children are busy picking berries
and this is an important thing to them,
as they nearly all clothe themselves and
make decidedly neat and pretty ap-
From that statement it would seem
that the children clothe themselves,
euly, during the time Of berry picking;
or at any rate nearly all Of them clothe
themselves at that time, and that at
such time the children present pretty
a0u neat appedTaucc. ACAtcon ooOo

son, nor how they appear during the

that most persons will agree with him.
that children present decidedly neater
and prettier appearance when clothed
than when otherwise; but, Why don't
all the children wear their. clothing
while picking berries, and at other
times? "Hexicon" is somewhat like
the honest, straig aight-forward old Ger

The centennial celebration Of the
battle sof Bunker Hill took place at
Boston Thursday, under all tie excel
lsnk auspices : beautiful day could give
III The procession, which numbered
nearly thirty thousand men, rspsssent-
ing military and civic organisations
from almost every part of the country,
was under the command Of General b.
F. Butler, and was about seven miles
in length. The entire number Of visi-
tors to the city was estimated at three
hundred thousand. The formation
and movement Of so large body Of
military in the streets Of such city as
Boston, crowded as all the leading thor
oughfares were with strangers, must
necessarily be attended with delay.
Fully three hours were lost on this
occasion, but there seems to have been
no lack Of enthusiasm either on the
part Of the participants or the specta-
tors. General Sherman, who was
among the many distinguished guests
of the city, described the pageant as
surprising anything be had ever before
seen. Conspicuous in the line was the
Maryland Fifth, whose sojourn in Bos-
ton has been an ovation. All Of the
Southern military in fact attracted es-
pecial attention, and were the recipi-
ents of the most cordial greetings along
the route. The oration Of the day was
delivered by General Charles Deyens,
Jr..,. who gave graphic description Of
the battle Of Bunker Hill, and an elo-
lqaaent appeal for a burial of all political
apimosities engsndered BY the late
war. Other speeches were delivered
BY various prominent gentlemen. Dark
ness caused an abrupt termination Of
the exercises. .1sIll i asm 70
