SCIENcKs 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 frequent Preparations reduce bodily
energy, particularly those suffering from the
effects of debihtating diseases. In order to
keep natural healthful activity of the sys-
tenn, we must resort to artificial means. For
this purpose Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is
very etfectual. A few doses will create an
appetite and give fresh vigor to the enervated
body. For dyspepsia, it is invaluable. Many
eminent physicians have doubted whether
dyspepsia can be permanently cured by the
drugs which are generally employed for that
purpose. The Sea Weed Tonic in it's nature
is totally different from such drugs 1t con-
tains no corrosive minerals or 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 1t is almost identical with that fluid.
The gastric juice is the natural solvent which,
in healthy condition OF the body, causes the
TODD to be digested and when this Juice is
not excreted in sufficient quantities, indiges-
ton, with all its distressing symptoms, fol-
lows. The Sea Weed tonic performs the duty
of the gastric juice when the latter is deficient.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic sold by all Drug
gists.

Nobody ever taught her
A mothers sweet, saving name.
Nobody ever ca ring
Whether she stood or fell,
And men fare they men p ensnaring
With the arts and the gold of hell
Stitching with ceaseless labor,
To earn her pitiiul bread;
Begging crust OF q neighbor,
And getting a curse instead
All through the long, hot summer,
All through the cold, dark time
With fingers that numb and number
Grow white as the frost's white rime
Nobody ever conceiving

Nobody ever believing

Nobody kind words pouring
In that orphan hearts sad ear.

Which Shall / Take =?

InlS IS often serious question with
the invalid. He finds the market flooded
with proprietary medicines, and finds each
sustained by plausible arguments setting
forth its virtues and specific action The re-
concentrations are as strong for one as for
| the other. The cures claimed to have been
wrought by one are as wonderful as those
claimed to have been wrought by another.
In his perplexity and doubt, the sufferer is
sometimes led to reject all. But it should be
borne in mind that this condition of things is
one that cannot be remedied In a land
where all are tree, the good the truly val
uable-must come into competition with the
vile and worthless, and must be brought to
public notice by the same instrtmentalitv
which is advertising. In such case, per-
haps the only absolute proof that remedy is
what 1t claims to be, is to try it. The "test
OF pudding is the eating of it'' "Prove all
things, hold fast that which is good, y is the
apostolic injunction. There may, however,
be stronger presumptive evidence III favor OF
one remedy than there is in favor of another.
and this should be allowed its due weight. A
due regard OF this may save vast amount of
experimenting and useless outlay of money

A BIG SHOW.

The Fourth of July was great day
here, and had Philadelphia been pre-
pared to take a census the showing
would undoubtedly have astonished the
world. But such an immense crowd is
an etfectual bar to enjoyment. To see
the exhibition visitors want clear
field, and the smaller the attendance
the better the opportunities for seeing.
Crowds of people may be seen on a
thousand days in a lifetime, but an
exhibition such as that now in Fair
mont Park may not again be attempted
IN America in half century. Among
the curlositles to be seen are the
REVOLUTIONARY RELICS.
The buildings are full of them, per-
sonal and general. Of individual arti-
cles there is an immense collection of
portraits, domestic utensils, garments
and valuable ornaments. In general.
there are public documents, and troph-

A NEW Pillow,
that was worth special attention. 1t
is grand and successful deviation
from the old point share, mold board
style, in use for the past two or three
centuries And it is gratifying to a
Western man to notice that the grand
and successful deviation from the an
clent Ideas Of plowmaking comes from
his section of the country.
1T has two large circular discs. con-
cave III form, one placed behind and a
little to the side of the other the
distinguishing features of the inven-
ton. These great discs cut deep and
completely, and the plow with two
horses attached does more and better
work than can be achieved with any
other kind of pillow having double the
number of horses to pull it. Practical
exhibitions and tests are given here
continually, and the manner in which
this implement cuts its way through
the toughest, toughest of soil. and the
rapidity with which it dispatches it's
work, satisfies all spectators that it is
the browning triumph of plow inven-
ton
But this is not the only new princi-
pie III farm tools which is displayed
here; a new surprise meets the agri-
culturaliSt at every turn, and from
rakes and hoes to threshing machines
and reapers, ever tool and roachine is
represented by a novel sample.
HOTELS AND FARES.
Everybody, before starting for the
Centennial, inquiries about hotel ac-
commodations and prices. Now, to
tell my own sentiments, don t believe
it possible for better Accommodations to
be found at more reasonable rates in
any city of considerable size in the
country. There are plenty Of first
class hotels which always have room
to spare and at living rates. [ can

Sheep and Collaborating in California.

The ALG California says: The
business of grazing seems to have
reached a turning-pOint in California.
1t is just now extremely depressed, and
the present circumstances suggest and
favor some changes. The construction
of railroads, the spread of settlements,
the extention of the area occupied by
grain, the rapid multiplication of sheep,
and the rise in the value of land, have
tended to increase the demand while
diminishing the supply of pasture so
much that there would probably be Sc
rious loss if next winter should bring a
scanty rainfall. The apprehension of
such disaster, the low price of merino
wool, and the cheapnesS of mutton
the last partly the result of the large
grass crop-and the unexpected diff
Guilty in driving sheep to Arizona, have
contributed to bring on panic in the
sheep-market.
A number of wool-growers have for
years been looking forward to the time
when they would be compelled to drive
their herds across the Colorado; but the
great losses to many that made the at
tempt last year, rising in some cases to
three fourths, have checked the trans
fer, though, if favorable reports should
be received from the herds now on the
way, it will soon be continued on
large scale.
1t looks now as if CALIFORNIA; Won
derful increase in the number of sheep
doubling about once in four years
after having been kept up for twenty
years, had at last come to an end. The
slower increase of the future will be ac
companied by larger consumption of
mutton, and more regard on the part of
the wool-growers to the qualities de-
manded by the butchers. Heretofore
the quality of the mutton was small
matter; now that it promises to become
important, it may help to change the
breed and also to stimulate the keeping
of few sheep about nearly every farm
house, as is the custom in some parts of
Europe. For such purpose the large
long-wool sheep will be preferred.
The competition of the mutton viii
iniure the demand for beef of the COM
mon stock, and the old Spanish stock
will have to suffer. 1t has no valuable
quality except the capacity of bearing
starvation, to which it was often ex-
posed, but now that wheat hay is cut
extensively, and that irrigation has
made Il start, there is no further need
of the Spanish cow in California.
In the production of large and lively
horses, for which there is steady de-
mand at high prices in this city, the
State has not made any creditable
progress. Good farm horses, of what
may be called scrub stock, are COM
mon; trotters of excellent quality are
not rare; but the active animals needed
for heavy teaming are to be obtained
with difficulty.

A Pair of Welded Misers.

Three miles from Newark, n. j., have
lived for many years an aged couple,
who were misery and penurious in their
habits to the last degree. Two months
ago, the husband, who had been a suf-
ferer from dropsy, began to fear that
he was likely to die, and, his love of
life proving stronger than his love Of
money, desired to send for physician.
His wife, not being moved by the same
fear, saw in it only a wasteful expendi-
ture, and refused to consent. After st1f-
fering in avery weak condition for some
time, however, he managed to commu-
nicate with a neighbor, who sent for q
physician. The latter gave him no
hope of recovery, but made. simple
prescription for his relief and directions
as to his diet. The wife did not deem
it wise to spend money on a man who
was already practically dead, and re-
fused resOlutely to purchase either
medicine or proper food. The neigh
bors, however, procured both, and fur
nished them to the dying man at his
bedside for several weeks. A few days
ago the miser died, and his wife refused
to send for an undertaken or allow the
friendly neighbors to do so, and the
body remained uncared for during the
terrible hot weather, and until decom-

Barbarity Of Indian Warfare.

The Cheyenne Leader tells the fol-
lowing fearful story of how some Crow
Indians mutilated and tortured
wounded Sioux whom they captured:
On the morning following the battle of
the Rosebud, as the column was NOV
ing from the place of the bivouac, there
suddenly arose among the red allies
singular excitement. One of them had
ridden up to a dark object lying beside
the stream and sat and gazed at it, and
after others had Joined him, they all
chartered as wildly together as the
South American monkeys when they
discover the propinquity of a snake.
After gestures and yells they dismount-
ed and brandished knives. Approach
ing them, there was seen lying on the
fresh, dewy grass, under the gentle
shadow of a STOPPING willow, the most
horrible object that could meet the hui
man eve. A dusky human form, nude
and blood besmeared, was writing I'M
der the knives of the merciless victors
The object WAS a Sioux, who, in the lat
ter part ofthe fight, had been wounded
by Snake, scalDed, and left for dead.
In tearing the tuft of raven hair from
his head, a portion of the bone, frac-
tured with a blow of the tomahawk,
had chung to the flesh, and
the brain was laid bare. And yet in
the morning the savage was still alive,
and hearing the tramp OF horses, and
believing his tribe had beaten the whites
he had crawled out of the gully in which
he lay and called, ''minne?" (water) to
a Crow who had passed, and who he
undoubtedly thought was Sioux. The
Crow turned, and his face kindled with
a fearful Joy. Six shots were fired into
the PROSTATE figure. The head and
limbs were severed from the body, and
the flesh hacked, and the bones hewn
until there was nothing about it recog-
nizable as human. Infamies too shame
full and disgusting for record completed
the CHASTITY climax of horror. 1t was
an illustration of the fiendish ferocity
of all the plains Indians against their
foes. The Sioux practice even more
refined barbarities, torturing their We
tins in the most exquisite manner, and
making them more dreadful by de-
ferring, by every art in their power, the
welcome relief Of death.
