DR.. lSchenck's Standard Remedies.

The standard remedies for all diseases OF
the lungs are Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic, and Schenck's
Mandrake Pills, and, if taken before the
the lungs are destroyed, speedy cure is affec-

10 these three medicines DR.. S. H.
Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his unriyalled
success in the treatment of pulmonary dis
eases.
The pulmonic Syrup. ripens the morbid
matter in the lungs; nature throws it off by
an easy expectoration, for when the phleqm
or matter is ripe slight cough will throw it
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 cleans the
the stomach and liver. Schenck's Mandrake
Pills act OH the liver removing all obstruc-
tons, relax the gall bladder, the bile
starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle slim
ulant and alternative; the alkali of which it is
composed, mixes with the food and prevents
souring. It assists the digestion by toninq
up the stomach to a healthy condition, SO
that the food and Pulmonic Syrup will
make good blood then the lungs heal,
the patient will surely get we'll if is taken
to prevent fresh cold
All who wish to consult Dr. Schenck. eth

principal Office, corner of Sixth and Arch Sts.
Philadelphia, every Monday
Schenck's medicines are sold by all drug

New York Custom House.

From Y. Sun, 18th ult
Officers of the Treasuary have been
for some time investigating charges
preferred against Special Deputy COL
Letter John R. Lydecker, for many
years one of the best known officers in
the New York Custom House. He acts

He is accused it is said, of permitting
various irregularities in order to show
favoritism to his personal and political
friends.
Ex-Special Agent Jayne gave some
of the information that led to the in
xestigation. Collector Arthur and
Surveyor Sharpe went to Washington
recently, and testified in Mr.. Lydeck-
er's favor; but the Solicitor of

Lamb on the subject Of their new freight and
passenger tariff, which. takes effect April Sd.

OF tarlns being based on the tariffs Of the st..
Paul road OF June, 1872, which were the lowest
in force in the state before the Potter law. The

authorities freely exhibiting their rates and

Gen. &. A. Custer Thrashes a Claim Agent
In Washington.

Washington Special, 80.
Gen. Custer was the hero of a severe
Gaming affair. in which E. W. Rice. a
claim agent here, was the worsted
party: Rice has long been an intimate
friend of Gen. Belknap's, and is be-
lieved by a good many to bave been
the medium through whom large
part of the post-tradership money
passed from the buyers to Gen. Bel
KNAPP. Gen. Clusters testimony tended
to prove this, the general testifyine,
among other things, that he had been
told that in a certain instance a post
leadership was secured through the
payment of 5000 to Rice. He replied
by newspaper card, in which he said
that if Gen. Custer did say that anv
money was ever paid him (Rice) for a
post-tradership he was liar. To.
night Custer met Rice on G. street and
gave him very severe Gaming.

USELESS DIAMONDS.

New York Sun. March e.
The revenue authorities are puzzled
to know what to do with. the Khedive
of Egypt's famous gift to Gen. Sher-
mans daughter. The diamonds are
locked up in the big vault in the Sub
treasuary. They were placed there in
June last, and unless they are taken
away before next June they will be
classified as unclaimed goods, and sold
by auction to pay the duties and stor-
age. If this should happen, the money,
after the deduction of official charges.
would be paid to Drexel. Morgan & Co.,
in whose name the diamonds are con-
signed. The trouble is that Congress
in authorizing Lieut. Fitch to receive
the present for his wife, neglected to
relieve him from the payment of the
duties. The necklace and earrings
which compose the gift were first
said to be worth $3.50, 900, but experts
have since appraised them at $4,000.
The duty on this amount would be
about $40, 900. Gen. Sherman feels
that he is too poor to pay this, and he
is unwilling to appeal to Congress for
an exemption of the payment of the
duties. Neither the Secretary of the
Treasury, the Collector, nor any of
his deputies are disposed to exercise
their power of granting a free permit
for the diamonds, and the Turkish AM
bassador, who has the prerogative of
receiving them in his name, will not
ask for their release, because the Khe-
dive is only recognized by his Govern
ment as vassal.

Northwestern Post Traders.

General Clusters testimony upon the
post traderships Of the Northwestern frontier,
given before the congressional investigating
committee in Washington, was direct ar
raignment Of the whole leadership system. He
said the Indian agent at Fort Berthold paid
Orville Grant thousand dollars to get him
the place, and that Belknaps visit to the
frontier last summer was for the purpose Of
perfecting arrangements whereby whisky
could be brought across the border at a re-
dueed rate, and increased advantages given to
post traders. He also related various instanc
es where grain had been stolen from the gov
eminent, the post traders taking it into their
stores.

No Whisky at the Centennial.

dred. citizens, chiefly of this city, has
been presented to Gen. Hawley for the
United States Centennial Commission.
The petitioners. having expressed
their deep pain to learn, ''through the
public press, that the traffic in intoxi-
eating drinks is to be encouraged on
the Centennial grounds" continue:

liquors is licensed in the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania, you may not

withhold your sanction of the action

and take such measures as may be in
