refrain from active labor produces no happy re-

CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED.
SCHENCK's PULMONIO SYRUP,
SCHENCK's SEA WEED TONIC,
SCHENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS,
Are the only medicines that will cure Pulmonary
Consumption.
frequently medicines that will stop a cough will
occasion the death Of patient; they lock up the
liver stop the circulation of the blood hemorrhage
follows, and in FACT they clog the action of the very
organs that caused the cough
Liver complaint and Dyspepsia are the causes of
two-thirds of the cases Of Consumption. Many per-
sons complain of dull pain in the side constipation,
coated tongue pain in the shoulder blade, feelings
of drowsiness and restlessness the food lying heav
lily on the stomach, accompanied with acidty and
belching up of wind.
These symptoms usually originate from disor-
dered condition of the stomach, or a torpid liver.
Persons SO affected, if they take or two heavy
colds and II the cough in these cases be suddenly
checked, will find the stomach and liver cogged, re-
manning torpid and inactive, and almost before they
are aware the lungs are mass of sores. and ulcera
ted, the result of which is death.
Schenck's PuJmonic Syrup is an expectorant which
does not contain opium or anything calculated to
check cough suddenly.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic dissolves the food,
mixes with the gastric juices of the stomach, aids
digestion. and creates ravenous appetite.
When the bowels are costive skin sallow, or the
symptoms otherwise of bilious tendency Schenck's
Mandrake Pills are required.
These medicines are prepared only by

tacular drama "MoDey and Misery will be
brought out at the Museum. 1t b IS been in
preparation the whole season, Mr. Richards
having been busily engaged upon the scenery
and Mr.. Page upon the stage effects. The
drama will be put upon the stage in manner
surprising that OF any play ever produced
here, the many opportunities for scenic and me
chanical effects having been made the most Of
The plot of the drama is, in brief, that rich
nobleman drives his daughter out on a wintry
night to starve, on account of her imprudence.
He has before that disowned his illegitimate
son. The proud noble IS haunted by the
apparition of the daughter and child, and at
last goaded by remorse recalls to his home the
disowned SOD, whom he makes his heir. Then
his mind regaips its balance, and he sees the
apothosis of his daughter and child who are
waited to heaven on angels wings, over a silver
sea on which angels and cherubs are floating in
golden galleons. Among the other scenic eff
fects are the two snow scenes. by moonlight, in
the first and second acts; the illuminated
church with the frozen cataract and stream of
real water in the third act; and the haunted
chamber with illusionary effects in the fourth
act.

THE YACHT THIEVES ARREsTED.-Ofice
Hunt of the Boston harbor police, who was in
this city week ago looking after the yacht Ar
row which was taken from Boston two weeks
ago, succeeded in recovering the yacht and ar
resting the thieves at Owls Head, Saturday.
They are two young men, William Devine,
aged II, and Henry A. Stevenson, aged 10
years. The thieves were brought to this city
On the six o'clock train and remained at the
police station until midnight, when they were
taken to Boston. They both appear to take the
whole matter as good joke they played on
the owners of the yacht, but probably he will
turn the joke on them on their arrival at the
Hub. Stevenson appears to have been the
leader and he tells strange story in regard to
the affair For instance he says he was out of
work and thought he would take the yacht and
ha{e little fun. They left Boston week ago
last tuesday and proceeded to Gloucester, at
which port they narrowly escaped shipwreck in
the gale. From Gloucester they came to Cane
Neddick, and thence to Portland. In this CITY
they broke into store at the head of Railroad
wharf and secured provisions for the remaining
voyage. They left here last Monday and pro-
ceeded to Owls head, where they were trapped
by the officers. During the voyage they were
reduced to one-half a. herring day for several
days in succession. On entering Rockland
harbor they were followed by a strange schoon-
er, which, supposing they were acquainted
with the channel, shaped its course in their
wake, and went ashore on Owls Head ledge.
