A STRANGE CURL,

1t hung DER her shoulders divinely,
A curl Of magnificent gold:
Thought, as it lay there supinely;
Of tresses that German girls sold.
enved the curl so reposing,
Like sunshine or ambient pearl,
But while l was dreamingly doing
felt with quivering whirl-
And that curl-ah! my dream was then ended
lay there aghast on the floor,
While its owner in ignorance wendell,
Mid silence, her steps to the door!

DE* Sc0tnCR16 SCeaA0afQ Remedies
The standard remedies for all diseases of the
lungs are SCHENCK's PULMoN1C SYRUP,

MAaRRAKE PILLS, and, if taken before the lungs

70 these three medicines Dl. J. Fl. Schenck,

the Treatment OF pulmonary diseases
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbibn1at-
ter in the lungs nature throws it off by an
easy expectoratlon, for when the phleg1n or

the patient has rest and he 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. Schenck slMandrake Pills
act on the liver, removing all distractions,
relax the gall bladder, the bile starts freely,
and the liver is soon relieved

Ancient NcWsDaDers.

At the coming Centennial Newspaper Ex-
hlb:tlon at Philadelphia it has been decided
to DISPLAY copies of antique journals and other
curloslties Of newspaper literature. 70 this
interesting collection all persons having an
clent, quaint, or curious specimens are in
yited to contribute; and should the response
ne as hearty and general as we hope to find
1t, tins gathering OF time-worn publications
Will prove to he not only leading trait of the
Newspaper Department, but also one of the
salient attractions of the Exhibition as a
whole. All having the ability and the will to
slgnments without delay to the Philadelphia
office of the Newspaper Exhibition, Ledger
building, 10 South Sixth street, Philadel-
PIMA. Whilst on view, these exhibits will
have attached to them labels designating by
whom they are contributed, and all consist
ent care will be taken to preserve them from
damage: After the close of the Exhibition
they will he again at the service of their own
ers, or IN the absence of different instructions,
will be transferred t. some historical society
or museum.
During the late war there were many news
papers issued which illustrated the straits in
which their publishers, found themselves.
pln I'm olue, and yellw sheets, wrapping paper,
and many other substitutes were pressed into
service. Specimens OF these now possess a
curious interest
The advantages to the public of such a
gathering are manifest to degree which zen
ders calculation unnecessary, and the oppor-
tunity to do very useful act is placed With
in easy reach. A single copy Of some senile
broadsheet may not be of much worth to it's
proprietor, yet in conjunction with others it
will make up worthy collection. Many
people there are who, having preserved such
curloslties for years, can turn them to little
or no practical account, and it is not too much
to hope that the response given by such will
be ready and general. Without loss to them
selves, they can materially benefit visitors to
the great Centennial Exhibition and appre-
ciably advance patriotic movement.

CHRONIC DISEASES CuRED.-ln communities
remote from larger towns there seems to be but
two alternatives for the sick either to employ

how much more successfully cana physician,

the Southern lobbyists. Already the num-

the estimated cost of the improvement OF the
mouths of the Mississippi, a Southern meas
ure, to $25, 1000, 900; the refunding of the cot
ton tax, another Southern measure, will take
100000 600; the Texas Pacific railroad, still
another Southern measure, requires the gov

100000. The whole amount asked by the
South is $246,00O,0O0.

THE verdict of acquittal.in the Lands
case gives encouragement to what is, to say
the least, very unpleasing rule of conduct.
The defence contended that the pistol ball
put into the head of Carruth "was safely To-
cated'; that ''it had become encys.ed, and
was a harmless tenant of the BRAIN" and
that it wasvery wrong in Carruth to make
any attempts to have i6 removed, as by so
doing he came to his death. The jury SEEM
ed to labor under the impression that
they were trying the dead Carruth instead
of the living Lands, and doubtless, had they
been permitted, would have brought in a
verdict of suicide against him. 1t is certainly
bad enough to have bullet in ones brain; TO
be forbidden toremove it under pain of death
seems trifle unreasonable.

THE RECENT ELECTION IN ALABAHA-
OPINION OF DIR. REDFTELD.-"H. V. h.,
writing from Alabama to the Cmclnnatl
Commercial, Republican paper, says:
The election was not carried by force. III
was not a kuklux election, or anything OF
the sort. The State WINS remarkably ana
agreeablY quiet, and is yet. Not man was
killed on election.day, SO far as l have Deen
able to learn, or was there resort TO lntlml-
dation or violence before the election: Ihere
were no night raiders or men masked or I'M
masked. going about to the terror OF the
negroes, advising them ut the point OF the
shotgun to vote the Democratic ticket.
It was. in essential features, q fair elec-
ton. In some counties there may have
been mild sort OF intimidation, but no
thing of the kind that will alone account
for the overwhelming Democratic victory:
The Republicans, by their gtarrels,
brought it upon themselves In large deSree'
They confused the minds of the negroes
until they hardly knew how to vote, anG
the result was perhaps twenty-five thousand
did not vote.
OF course, this settles the status OF la
bama for the present She will 60 Tor III
den by a large majority, but less than that
of this week. The Republicans VIII nave
time to recover from their "split," ana In
manner re8rganize their party. Illoen
will get less votes than Houston, and Hayes
more than Woodruff; that is, unless the
Republicans entirely give up the fight, and
allow their organization, so far as they may
be said to have any. fall to pieces. .,
The white Republican vote in the north
part of the State, amounting before the
civil-rights agitation to about twelve thou
sand, has never recovered from that blow.
Before that the State was close. but the
white Republicans held the balance o,
power, ana held the State Republican until
the ciyil.riYhts bill drove them pell-mell
into the Democratic party. Four years ago
there were counties in this end OF the State
containing nearly thousand white Repu,b,
licans, but by the ciril-rights agitation the
number was reduced to one or two nun
dren. Altogether, the Republican outlook
in Alabama is dismal, and she will join the
"solid South" in November with ncatness
and dispatch. .-
