An ex-ofncer. who was connected for
many years with the United States Secret Ser
vice. relates how Government officers fraudu-
lontly converted public moneys to the purchase
for their wives aud daughters OF pianos from
Marcus A. Decker. who was taken into court
last week on the charge OF labelling cheap and
second hand pianos with the names of well
known manufacturers, and then selling them as
nrst-class instruments ut n great profit.
Saws the ex-ofilcer: "Decker had his piano
warerooms at SO Dleecker street, aud rented the
second, third, and fourth floors to the Secret
Service at an exorbitant rent, which was paid
out Of the national Treasury Decker did bust

Peruvian syrup VS.. Alcoholic Tonic..

II has been a desderatum with the medical pro.
fesson to procure preparation OF iron less obisc

duce unfayorabe effect. upon the system, especially
wheu prepared with alcoholic ffuids.
In many cases OF debility and convaescencs fr sm
disease, where tonic Is Indicated wine, brandy, por-
ter. &c, have been recommended but these are OF
very doubtful efficacy, to say the least. Alcohol "a
dgcsted II ranked among the dfusiDle stimuli,
Incapable OF aft riding nutrition. II creates nene
rally unnatural excitement and derangem cnt OF tao
circulation irritating the whole system by preventing
the blood from losing is carbon. Again how dithcut

all the wines, brandies, porers, &C. being more or les

Such being the case with regard TO the spiriuous

tect. opportunity l. now presented ia the PkkU-
Wan SYRUP for the trial Of an article In general
practice. which has the strongest recommended
lions from medical and scientific men OF the highest
character--a preparation which so happily combines
the protoxtde Ot with the other constituent parts
that the effects incident to the OF iron salts are en-
tlrely Obyiated.
For all cases In which iron any tolic Is needed,
this preparation Ia confidently believed to be fer supe-

of health.
