CoNsUMPTIvEs, TAKE NoTICE.-Every moment
Of delay makes your cure more hopeless, and much
depends on the judicious choice OF a remedy. The
amount of testimony in favor of DR.. Schenck's Pull
monte Syrup, as cure for consumption, far e1-
ceeds all that be broughtto support the preten-
sions of any other medicine. See Dr. schenck's
Almanac, containing the certificates Of many per-
SONS of the highest responsibility, who have been
restored to health after being pronounced ncurable
by physicians of acknowledged ability. Schenck's
Pulmenic Syrup alone has cured many, as these
evidences will show; but the cure is often promoted
by the employment of two other remedies which
DR.. Schenck provides for the purpose. These ad-
ditional remedies are schencks Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills. BY the timely use of these
medicines, according to directions, Dr. schenck
certihes that most any case Of Consumption may
be cured.
DR.. Schenck is professionally at his principal
Office. corner Sixth and Arch streets, Philadelphia,
every Monday where all letters for advice must be

THE case of the notorious PomerOy
boy is discussed in a recent number OF
the Medical and Surgical Journal. There
are five recognized forms of mental
alienation, and DIR. Folsom, an expert
in mental diseases, finds that Pomeroy
shows no symptoms of being subject to
any of them. The Doctor thinks that
medical science is unable to discover
why his mental condition should be
urged to save him from the ordinary
penalty of his crime.

Philanthropy Begins Abroad.

The phiianthropists to whose eXer-
tions we owe the abolition of "Suttee"
in India, says the London Observer, can
not possibly do better than turn their
attention to the details of an inquest
held last week, at Sheffield, on the body
of girl named Alma Oldale, aged
eighteen, who was literally roasted alive
to make Christian holiday. The poor
creature was engaged, at a few pence
night, to figure among the clouds in
a " grand transformation scene" She
had to stand at some height above the
stage, on a cross-bar of iron, and to be
strapped, for her own safety, to an iron
bar, while her costume was that which
stage tradition assigns to fairies, con-
sisting mainly of muslin with-accord-
ing to the exact letter of the inquest re-
ports-one thickness of calico under It.
In the course of the scene in question,
in which she figured as one of the me-
teoric fairies with which every audience
is now familiar, a gauze curtain at the
wings caught fire. The fire spread to
the girls dress, and, standing as she
was, strapped to the iron bar, she was
to put the matter exactly-roasted
alive. The jury returned verdict of
accidental DEATH" and added to it a
order" to the effect "that some means
ought to be adopted for rendering the
dresses of girls employed in theaters,
and the gauze of the scenery uninfam-
mable.n

The Democrats throughout the Dis
trict highly appreciate the eminent
services of their standard bearer,and will
warmly support him. But this we urge
upon the party; Go to work to bring
out the full strength of the Hurdeman
Democracy. The people must be in
terested in the important questions of the
day, and be aroused to see the dangers
threatening our civil institutions by the
further continuance of Republican rule.
Not a Democrat must stay at home. No
sluggards in the race. The enemy is
determined, and should be met by a solid
opposition. The Republicans have
already prOstituted our institutions to
the basest purposes, and brought re-
proach upon the American name. The
English people see aud sly tbat Amsri-
can freedom is in jeopardy at the hands
of Radicalism, and that this campaign is
vital to the nation. Be up and astir,
then, and show to the woI Id that the
people are not dead to the perilous Issues
of the hour. The ballot is your weapon
of defence. Let it be used to preserve
and perpetuate constitutional liberty.

Fortunes for Titles.

1t can scarcely hayeL escaped attenti lion
that the number of iml Overished counts,
b1rons md knights who are seeking
matrimonial alliances with rich women
Ia this country are on the increase. Our
republican weakness for titles is well
understood abFoai. France. Germany,
and Italy, and the Smaller European
states, contain a surplus of many thou
sands of titled gentry whose whole for
tame may consist in a title. When a
count becomes a waiter, barber, boot
black, cieerono, or what not, he is tech
nically just as noble as ever. All he
is money to enable him to live Ia a style
BETTING his ancestral name. Character
may be Of iittls consequences. In fact a
great many Of these decayed adventures
have no character to speak of, or rather
it is of such a doubtful kind that it is

and there may be nothing ia store for

these facts viii not greatly temper the
ambition of those young women who
have been all their lives reading aud
dreaming about counts and barOns, cas-
ties, equipages, and aristocratic distine-
ton. In fact, the matrimonial market
is as much an open field to this class of
adventurers as ever. There are prob
ably eight or ten thousand titled for
eigners with decayed fortunes who are
ready to accept any rich young woman
of tair standing ana fortune in this eoun-
try. We should be sorry to know, pos.

and of radically false notions of life.

THUS FAR.

Both parties are busily figuring as to
the Presidential election This is all
speculative. But there are some facts
now on hand which are very consolng
to a certain party.
Looking merely at facts, we fnd that the
Republicans have lost almost every where
since Grants second election. Con-
neoticut was Radical then-now il is
soEdly Democratic; Arkansas went for
Grant-now it is Democratic. So also
of Oregon and Alabama These four
States have, during this year, taken def
mite position. and will give Mr. Tilden
twenty five electoral votes, this much a
a dead loss to Hayes. In Indiana the
Republicans are hopeless of carrying the
State in October. Ohio and Wisconsin,
are also doubtful These are cheering
signs Let US work en- to the end
Victory is what we want, that the
country may be saved the rule of Grant
ism Then, we repeat, let US work.

Women.
Very intellectual women are seldom
beautiful Their features, and particu-
Iarly their forebeads, are more or less
masculine. But there are exceptions to
all rules, and Mrs. LIE ndon was an excep-
ton to this one. She was exceedingly
feminine and pretty. Mrs. Stanton,
likewise, was an exceedingly handsome
woman but Miss Anthony and Mrs
Livermore are both plain. Maria and
Jane Porter were women OF high brows
and irregular features, as was also Miss
SedgSick Anna Dickinson has a strong,
masculine face. Kate Field has a good
looking but by no means a pretty face.
Mrs. Stowe Is thought positively homely.
Mrs. Burleigh, on the contrary, was very
6ne-lookiug. Alice and Phoebe Cary
were very plain IN features, though their
sweetness of disposition added greatly
to their personal appearance. Margaret
Fuller had a splendid head but her
features were irregular. and she was
anything but handsome, though some
times, in the glow of conversation, she
appeared almost radiaat Charlotte
Bronte had Wonderously beautiful dark
brown eyes, and a perfectly shaped
head. She was small to diminutiveness,
and was as simple in her manners as a
child. Julia Ward Howe is 6ne-goOk-
ing mountaineering an aspect of grace
and refinement, and of great force of
character in her face and carriage. Olive
Logan is anything bat handsome in per
son, though gay and attractive in CONVEX
sation. Laura Holloway resembles
Charlotte BIoate, both in personal ap =
pearance, and in the sal experience of
her youthful life. Neither Mary Booth
nor Marian Harland can lay claim to
handsome faces, though they are splsn-
Old specimens of cultured women; while
Mary Clewmer Ames is just as pleasing
in features as her writings are graceful
and popular.
