Sc11ENcK's SEA WEED ToN1c.-In the
atmosphere experienced here during the
summer months, the lethargy produced by
the heat takes away the desire for wholesome
food, andfrequent perspirations reduce bodily
energy, particularly those suffering from the
effects of debiltating diseases. In order to
keep a natural healthful activity of the sys-
tenn, we must resort to artificial means. For
this purpose Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is
very efectual. A few doses will create an
appetite and give fresh vigor to the enervated
body. Fordyspepsia, it is invaluable. Many
eminent physicians have doubted whether
dyspepsia can he 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 it is almost identical with that fluid
The gastric juice is the naturalsolvent which,
in healthy condition OF the body; causes the
food 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

sometimes led to reject all. But it should be
borne in mind that this condition OF things is

sires to say, that they are prepared by the
new and scientific process by which the vir-

certainly to rank them high above the vile
compounds saturated with alcohol, Jamaica
rum, sour beer, or vinegar, which are every
where offered for sale. Again, they are of
uniform strength, and their virtues can never
be impaired by age. They are also made
from fresh herbs and roots, gathered in their
appropriate season, when they are flush with
medicinal properties. In support of these
claims, the following testimony is offered:

Ohio Day aI the Centennial

PHILADELPHIA, October 26. This Is
OHIO day and Merchants day at the Cen.
tennisl, and the attendance is much
greater than usual. Among the crowds
present are great numbers of Ohloans, and
their interest IN the suitable observance
OF the day added to the general interest
awakened by the presence on the grounds
OF Gov. Bayes gives animation to the at
fair that has hardly been equalled, except
on Pennsylvania day,
Governor Hayes and his family ar
rived in the city last evening and were
cordially received. This morning at ii
o'clock General j r. Hawley, President
on behalf of the L. S. Centennial Com
mission, Director. General Goshen and
President j. Welsh, of the Board OF
Finance. met and received His Excel
lency Governor r. B. Hayes, at the
main entrance TO the grounds, on Elm
avenue The Governor was attended by
his staff, in full uniform, and delega-
tion of distinguished citizens OF ONO,
and escorted to the Ohio State Building
by detachment of the Centennial
Guards, and preceded by the First
Brigade Band. As the gubernatorlal
party entered the grounds the enthusiasm
was immense. The chimes rang
out its welcome and the great masses OF
people rushed eagerly TO get a glance at
our distinguished visitor, all along the
line to the State building. 1t was per-
feet ovation. Arriving ut the building
the party were received with deatcllng
cheers from the assembled multitude. He
was welcomed by Gov. Bawley in brief
address, after which Gov. Hayes respond
ed in a brief and appropriate speech.
The international Convention OF Mer'
chants at the Pennsylvania State build
ing on the Centennial grounds is rather
more of a social than strictly business
like event.
Governor Hayes, of Ohio, attended by
his personal staff, entered the exhibition
gates at lI:20 this morning, and was re-
celved bv representatives of the manage
ment and numerous delegations OF Ohio
people, who. with band, escorted the
Governor to the Ohio State building
This structure was decorated with flags
and surrounded by an immense multi
tude, booking up the approaches to all
the entrances, and estimated to NUMBER
10000 persons. At the door of the build
tug the Governor was received by Gen.
McCook and others of the Ohio Centen-
nial Board, and a few moments later
was presented to the people from little
porch on the east side OF the building
Alter the enthusiasm Of the greeting
subsidized, President Hawley, on behalf OF
the Centennial authorities, formally well
coined the Governoa and all other visi-
tors from Ohio, al!uding to their brother
hood IN the great Union, and adding
that they had dore much to make the
exhibition a success, and were specially
priviledged to be present. He would not
only welcome them, but would join hands
with them in pledging new devotion TO
the constitution and Union, and in pray
ing to Almighty God that the next CEN
tury may surpsss the past one. Gov.
HAYES was then introduced, and address
ed the audience.

SCOTT As A SLANDERER.

"He Tilden was at this sort of work
when HAYES was in the army during the
war. He divided his time between this
sort of work and the still more suspicious
business Of undermining the confidence of
the people IN the success OF the Unlon
cause. With all his property and all his
ability he said nothing and did nothing
for the country. And this is the man
whom the Democracy have set up as their
choice for the Presidency.-ScotfS speech
at the Court House.
To show what dirty little slanderer
SCOTT Is, it is only necessary to quote
from speech recently made at Ashta'
buIa, Ohio, by Hon. PETER II. WATSON,
President LINCoLN's First Assistant
Secretary of War under STANTON. He
says:
Among other praiseworthv men
whose meritorious actions came more
particularly under my notice, and who
have been especially outraged and defam-
ed by charges of unfaithfulness TO their
country. l will mention three OF
the most eminent-Samuel D..
Tilden, John w. Garret, and Abraham
5. Hewitt" He speaks of the exulta-
tion of Mr.. Lincoln when he received
assurances OF continued support from
Mr.. Tilden, ana how he was called to
Washington to counsel with both the
President and the Secretary of War.
How, further, at the urgent entreaty
of Mr.. Lincoln Mr.. TilGen de
liberately sacrificed a large source
OF money-making by furnishing
rom the iounderies with which he was
INJECTED" and, as Mr.. Watson de-
Z ares, at loss to himself and his asso-
ciates, such manufactures of iron as the
government then stood mcst in need OF.
Alter giving the facts in detail, Mr..
Watson closes by saying that "such pa.
triotic liberality on the part of Mr.. Til
den and his associates was emulated by
none of the men who are SO loud IN his
detraction."

THE RADICAL WINDMILL.

THE Radicals spend most OF their time
in denouncing the Democracy for work
il has not done. For instance: A Rsdl-
cal Congress passed rebel claims to the
amount OF nearly six millions OF dollars,
while the Democratic Congress rejected
ali such therefore, the Democracy
must be kept out of power.
ON the Tariff question the Radicals are
about as consistent. That party reduced
the tariff on iron fifty per cent
within the last three or four
years, and now that business
has adjusted itself to the tariff as
it stands, the Democratic Congress re-
fused to disturb it all. Therefore the
Democracy are denounced for intending
to destroy the iron Interest," The Rsdl-
cal Congress taxed tea and coffee for
several years, but when they saw the
Democracy coming into power, in spirit
of demagoguery they removed the tax,
and now charge that the Democracy in
tend to restore It'll BAH

THE ABsURDITY OF IT.

The most absurd feature of the canvass
is the Radical clamor against the De-
mocracy because the Democratic House
rejected the rebel war claims. The Re-
publican Forty-third Congress passed
about $6.0OO,900 of these claims, and
their committees reported tavorably on
them to the extent Of over $S,OOO 600.
The Democratic committees reported for
consideration only $4,000, absolutely
rejecting all others. In other words,
where the Republicans awarded one hum
dred dollars for war damages, the DEM
ocrats awarded fifty cents, and where the
Republican committees reported on one
hundred dollars, the Democratic commit
tees reported on three dollars. The secret
OF the matter lies in the fact that these
claims are all owned by the Radical rings.

livan, on trial here for the murder oil
Francis Hanford, came into the court
room ana informed the court, Judge
McAlister, that they were unable TO
agree, and asked to be discharged, and
with this request the court complied. 1t
is understood thst the jury stood eleven

There is much discussion in the city
about the alleged partisan course OF
Judge McAllster during he entire trial,
and especially in his instructions to the
Jury. Prosecuting-Attorney Reed has
openly intlmated in court his opinion OF
the rulings, and the feeling is so strong
in town that several petitions are in cir
culstion asking McAllister to resign.
The petitions at the Board of Trade have
been signed by majority of the most
prominent members, and embrace some
1900 to 1000 names.
