Il. R. STEVENS, ESQ.,:
Dear Sir-When about six months old ! was vac
cinated. The parties who were yaccinated from the
same virus died from the humor. The humor spread
over me to such an extent that 1 was rolled in bran
to prevent me from scratching nay person. The
disease finally settled in my head. 1 remained in
this condition about twenty years, troubled all the
time with sores breaking in my head and discharg.
ing corruption from my ear. At this time a small
kernel appeared on my neck, gradually increasing In
size until a tumor formed of such immense size /
could see 1t by turning my eyes downward. All this
time L was taking various remedies for my blood
without any substantial benefit.
then went to q prominent physician in Boston,
who, during his treatment Of six months. lanced
the tumor eight times, which cost me nearly 800.
This left me with a rough, aggravated sore, without
at all diminishing the size of the tumor, and in q
sickly, feeble condition. / consulted another ply
stefan in Natick, who, after considerable time, sue
ceeded in healing the sore without reducing the size,
the earnest persuasion of a friend. After l had taken
this medicine about one week, ] experienced WON
derful sensations. My whole body seemed to be un-
dergoing a radical change, until, finally, the tumor
broke and discharged frightful Quantities. From
this time Ii decreased in size, until the bunch dis
appeared, but my neck still bears the ugly scars Of
the sore and lance. 1 am now healthy and strong,
ard able to work every day.
1 will also mention that l have been an acute suf-
ferer from infammatory rheumatism ever since /
can remember, until commencing. the use Of VICE.
ceased. This statement 1 volunteer for the purpose
of beneiting other suffering humanity, and you will
confer a favor by giving 1t as much publicity as

Picture Robbery.

Murillo, the pupil but the more than
rival of Velasquez, devoted the best force
Of his genius to the noble Cathedral of
Seville, in beautiful Andalusia. Last
year one of his most beautiful pictures,
the Temptation of st. Anthony" was
cut from the canvas, and eventually dis
covered in New York. A similar crime
has recently been discovered in England.
Gainsborough, the greatest of all English
landscape painters, was, like many other
artists, compelled to resort to portrait
painting as a means of livelihood. Among
other celebrities of the time he painted
the celebrated Duchess of Devonshire,
one of the greatest beauties of the age.
She was the heroine in the famous con-
test for a seat in Parliament between
Charles James Fox and Horne Tooke,
the author of "The Diversions of Pur-
ley" a man who, in brilliancy of wit,
rivaled his great ecclesiastical contreres,
Dean Swift and Sydney Smith. The
contest was so close hat the Duchess re-
sorted to every possible means to win
votes, and in the canvass called at a
smithy of a grimy blacksmith. He folded
his arms, and laughingly said that his
vote should be hers for a single kiss. The
Duchess, to the establishment of the hero
of the anvil, raised herself upon tiptoe,
put out her rosy lips, and kissed the
brawny Vulcan. Fox was returned, and
in the next Parliament a law was passed
forever forbidding clergymen of the Es-
tablished Church to sit in Parliament.
This has continued to the present time,
but, by the Clergy Disabilities Act, of
which the historian Anthony Froude has
awaited himself, a man in orders may
now escape its restrictions. This beauti-
full picture of the historic Duchess, re-

SAILOR mats are of dark-blue straw,
the brim turned up all round. For lit
tie boys these sailor hats are more like
those worn by Portuguese sailors ; the
magic words Invincible" or" Serapis,'
in gilt letters on the front, give them a
thoroughly nautical appearance. Scotch
caps in blue straw, are also very novel
these have the thistle in oxidized silver
in front.

The Committee on Foreign Affairs has
at last delivered itself of the result of
the Schenck investigation. 1t finds that
while Mr.. Schenck wa not guilty of
fraud, or of fraudulent intentions, in his
transactions with the Emma Mining
Company, yet his connection Herewith
was "ill-advised, unfortunate, and in
compatible with the duties of his official
position" His action is, therefore, con-
demned with due formality, and the
matter stands, as far as the public judg-
ment is concerned, exactly where it did
before the investigation began.

Dr.. ScHEscK's PULMosIc SYRUP, SEA WEED TONIC,
sND MANDRAKE PnLs.-These medicines have I'M
doubtedly performed more cures OF Consumption
than any other remedy known to tho American pub
lie. They are compounded of vegetable Ingredients,
and contain nothing which can be injurious to the
human constitution. Other remedies advertised as
cures for Consumption, probably con tain opium,
which is a somewhat dangerous drug in all cases.
and if taken freely by c~onsumptive patients, it must
do great injury; for its tendency is to confire the
morbid matter in the system, which. of course, must
make a cure impossible. Schenck's PuImonic Syrup
is warranted not to contain a particle of opium: 1t
is composed of powerful but harmless herbs, which
act on the lungs, LIVER, stomach, and blood, and
thus correct all morbid secretions, aud expel all the
diseased matter from the body. These arc the only
means by which Consumption can be cured, and as
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and
Mandrake Pills are the only medicines which operate
in this way, it is obvious they are the only genuine
cure for Pulmonary Consumption. Each bottle Of
this Invaluable medicine is accompanied by full d-
~rections, DR.. schenck is professionally at his prin-

THE MEDICINE THAT CURES
VEGETINE.

Taking into consideration the character of it's
vouchers, the history of its cure, and the immense
increasing demand, YEGETIsE may be fairly entitled
the leading medicine of the age.
For Scrofula in the blood, YEGETINE is an infal-
lible remedy, and no persen need sufef from tumors,
ulcers, and all diseases arising from impure blood,
il VEGErINE is used according to directions. There
is net a case of Scrofula in existence that YEGErINE
will not cure, provided, however, the vital functions
have not lost their power OF action, all that may BE-
said to the contrary notwithstanding.
VEGETISE is pleasant to the taste, mild in its in
huence, and absolute in its action on disease, as the
following unquestionable evidence win show:

One of the most remarkable human
beings ever seen in this country, or per-
haps in any other, arrived in this city
last week, and is stopping at the St.
Charles Hotel, with her parents, direct
from Mexico, and unknown to the Amer
ican public. This child, Lucia Zarate
was born at Vera Cruz, and is said to be
twelve years old. She is twenty inches
high and is said to weigh scarcely more
than five pounds. Imagine a French
doll walkingand talking to you, and some
idea of her appearance can be had.
Standing on a parlor floor, her head
reaches about to the seat of an ordinary
chair, and yet Der limbs and body are
in all respects well proportioned. Mrs.
Belknap could get no more than one toe
of her foot into the Mexican girls shoe.
Her head, about as big as a mans fist, is
well shaped and covered with soft, brown
hair. The only thing out of line with
her size is her nose; that was evidently
made for a larger girl, but it will do
She has bright black eyes, and is intelli-
gent, conversing with little voice in
the language of her parents. She runs
and plays about the room as if she en-
joyed her little life, and salutes and bids
adieu to her guests with evident pro-
priety. In the way of joke she offered
to carry a fat reporter on her back, and
stopping over asked him to climb up on
her shoulders. The little nudge will
astonish any n who sees her, because
she is so tiny and 10 human. Standing
by the side of Tom Thumb she would
reach his elbow, and the General would
look like an overgrown and bloated arts
tocrat. The Liliputian is to be taken to
the Centennial Exposition, and stops
here for a few days to consult dolls
dressmakers about fashionable wardrobes
for herself. In the meantime she will
hold receptions at the Academy of
Music.

NEWS IN BRIEF.
Ute,ns froz, fI.e Capttal,

Some startling testimony was given before
the investigating committee q few days ago.,
as to Speaker Kerr's having received money
for securing the appointment of q man
by the name of Green in the army. Green's
testimony implicated Mr.. Kerr, and Law
renee Harvey corroborated him by saying
that he met Green in 1866, and helped him
to get the appointment in the army as Sec
ond Lieutenant. Green paid the witness
four hundred and fifty dollars, and the wit
ness paid it into Kerr's hands in the CORR
dor east of the hall of the House, and Kerr
put it in his pocket Speaker Kerr was
quite unwell, and unable to give testimony
in the matter, but he denied all knowledge
of the matter. The affair created consider
able excitement at the capital.
The United States Senate has finally
decided, by a vote of S6to so, that it has the
right to try Belknap as amenakle to inn
peachment.
