No efforts are being made to secure the es-
capped thief, Tweed. The New York Demo-
cratic authorities are as silent as the grave in
the matter, and Governor Tilden has done
nothing to secure his capture. The truth of
the matter is, Mr.. Tilden and his accomplices
in this affair dare not bring VIM. NJ. Tweed
to bay, as he would make disclosures which
would be ruinous to them.

ScIEYcK's ULMoNIo SYRUP, SEA WEED TONIC,
AND MANDRAKE PILLS. These deservedly cele-
bratod and popular medicines have effected a reyo-
luton in the healing art, and proved the fnllacy oil
several inaxims which have for many years OBJ
structed the progress Of medical science. The false
supposition that Consumption is incurable" de-
TERED physicians from attempting TO find remedies
for that disease, and patients afflicted with ii recon-
ciled themselves to death without making an effort
to escape from a doom which they supposed to be
unavoidable. 1t Is now proved, however, that Con-
sumption can be cured, and that 1t has been cured In
a very great number of cases tsome Of them apparently
desperate Ones) by Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup
alone; and In other cases by the same medicine In
connection with Schencks Sea Weed Tonic aud
Mandrake Pills, one or both, according to the re-
quirements of the case.
DR.. Schenck himself, who enjoyed uninterrupted
good health for more than forty years, was supposed,
al one time, to be at the very gate OF death, his ply
sicians having pronounced his case hopeless, and
abandoned him to his fate. He was cured by the
aforesaid medicines, and, since his recovery, many
thousands similarly affected have used DR.. Schenck's
preparations with the SAME remarkable success.
Full directions accompany each, making II not
absolutely necessary TO personally see DR.. Schenek

Bathing in the Gangcs.

A letter from India says: "A long
drive OF four miles broaght Us to tine
junction OF the Jumma and Ganges, and
here one of the strangest and most inter-
esting sights met my eyes. The banks
of the Gauges, on either side, for a dis
lance Of four or five miles below its
junction with the Jumma, were swarm
ing with naked Hindoos of both sexes.
1t is no ~exaggeration to say that there
were in the water and on the shores at
least 100000 natives. All we're bathing,
or getting ready to battle. We pro-
cured a boat, and were slowly pushed up
and down the stream, and were thus en-
ploycd two or three hours in the profita-
Bile manner Of observing these strange
people,
al trust ! shall not shock you, gentle
reader, when | say that there were one
hundred thousand naked, of all ages,
sexes and conditions, gathered from all
parts of India, either in the water or
sporting about on shore, most of them as
destitute of clothing as u first parents;
but there was nothing inmodest or vul-
gar in their proceedings. So serious, so
earnest, and so devout were all their
ways and actions, that the looker-on
would soon feel that blushing was I'M
called for; in fact, so contagious was the
example of these dovout Hindoos, that |
speedily DOTTED my clothing and tried the
efficacy of a dip myself in these sacred
but very muddy waters. The sculptor
or painter would here have found abund-
ant material for study.
at certainly gave me a gOsd opportu-
nifty to study the physique of these
swarthy races, and | will give you the
result Of my observations. The men are
nearly all understood, few or none being
over five feet eight inches; sinewy, 1.-the
and graceful in their motions, but, sub
sisting as they almost entirely do on
rice, | do not imagine them to be very
muscular. The women under twenty
years of age are mostly well and plumply
made, with rounded and shapely limbs.
and many of them are deliberately tat
tooed-face, arms limbs and hips. But
here, as in Egypt, early marriages and
early-child-birth cares speedily transform
them into ugly, lean old hays. After
thirty, and even after twenty-five years
of age, many of them become fearfully
ugly. Here, as elsewhere in oriental
countries, the female Is obliged to per-
form all the tiresome, hard drudgery Of
the household. No wonder her beauty
speedily fades away"

The Rev. DR.. Vaughan, one of the
most distinguished clergymen of the
Church of England, has commenced a
course of public reading in the Greek
Testament at the Middle Temple lecture
room, London, at eight o'clock in the
morning. The course is intended spe-
cially for the benefit of the lawyers in
whose courts the lectures are delivered,
and it is to be continued every Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday dur
ing the law term. One who was present
at the opening lecture writes;
"The announcement TO which we have
| referred awakened our curiosity. We
were anxious to sec how such a man
would, to such an audience, cxpOund the
words Of the great apostle, Despite,
therefore, the early hour and six or seven
|. miles which lay between our house and
the temple, we resolved to be present.
With some difficulty and after a good
many inquiries the lecture-room of the
temple was reached Il few minutes after
eight o'clock. To surprise and, let
us add, pleasure, the room was full. 1t
looked like n theological class in one of
our colleges. Ranged along desks or
seated in odd corpers, where some facility
for writing could be found, were seated
thirty or forty men-sOmc in the early
morning of life; some who were draw
ing near to its evening hour. Judging
by appearances, nearly all belonged to
She legal profession, which finds one of its
favored homes in the winding courts and
halls of the temple. Here and there,
| however, appeared n dress which told
unmistakably that its wearer belonged to
the clerical order. Every one, however,
meant work. Notebooks and inter
leaved Greek Testaments were being
rapinly filed with the words which fell
from the lips of DIR. Vaughan. He was
seated at Il little desk with Greek Tesla
ment and Concordance before him, and
with a rare grace Of manner and finish
and precision Of statement was discours-
ing of Paul's second letter to the Cor.

One Generation Of Men Wiser than
Another.

One day the Caliph Alamansor, one of
the vainest of the Arabian mOnarchs, was
conversing Familiarity with the famous
poet Fazclli, with whom he delighted to
talk, when retired from the cares of the
empire. "Thou %thinkest," said he to
Fazelli, chat | am not wiser than my
father? Why is it so? Doth not every
succeeding generation add to the wisdom
of that which preceded it?" "Dost thou
think thyselt wiser than the Prophet"
answered the poet, bowling his head rev
erentially. "Assurcdly not?" answered
the Caliph. "Dost thou think myself
wiser than Solomon" asked the poet,
bowling still lower. "Assuredly not"
again answered the Caliph. "Dost thou
think thysclf wiser than Moses, who con.
muned with Allah himsclf?' athird time
asked the poet, bowling to the ground.
Alamansor was for n moment thoughtful,
and held down his head. 'Assuredly
not ?" replied he, ut length, ~ were
toolishly presumptuous to think 50.
"Thcn how" resumed Fazelli, "canst
thou prove that each succeeding genera
ton is wiser than another that is past?"
"The aggregate of knowledge Is GER
tainly increased" replied the Caliph.
True, o my king" replied F~azclli, "but
knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom points
out the road to happiness and virtue;
knowledge is only an acquaintance with
n mass of facts, which are not necessarily
connected with either wisdom, virtue or
happiness, the only objects worthy the
pursuit of a wise man. The knowledge
Of things has certainly increased, but, o
king remember that wisdom is always
the same; as much 80 as the Great Power
by whom il is dispensed. Thou mayest
perhaps know more ofthe moon, the stars,
the earth, and the sea than thy father,
but of thy organization, thy soul, thy
passions, appetites, the power to direct
them, and the Being who bestowed them
upon thee, thou knowest no more than
the meanest of thy fathers slaves
"Thou sayest true" replied the Caliph,
bowling his head reyerentially. "Allah,
teach me humility" "Great king"
said Fazelli, lament not thine igno-
rance. Everything We cannot compre-
bend furnishes proof Of the existence of
a Being wiser than ourselves"

Heat and Cold i'm Their Relation 70
Sleeplessness.

Cold is often cause of insomnia III
insuffciently clad, SO that the cutaneous
vessels are not relaxed, sleep is rarely
sound, when attained at all. 1t is only
when stupefaction from cold occurs that
the dangerous coma sleep comes on
which is so often fatal. With many per-
sons sleep is impossible il the bed be not
warmed previous to their entering It. IN
these cases, the arteriole contraction, in.
duced by the contact with the cold bed.
clothes, does not pass readily into the op.
posite condition OF relaxation, and so sleep
does not come ON. This state of affairs is
very commonly met with among the aged,
and most so in those who suffer from some
form of heart disease. In such cases it is
not only desirable to warm the bed and
the night-clothes, but even to administer
some hot fluid, when the patient has got
into bed, II any sense Of chilliness re-
mains. In the young ana healthy the
chill on getting into bed, however, if often
of great service in inducing a subsequent
relaxation of the cutaneous vessels, and
thus conducting to more perfect cerebral
anemia and sounder sleep. Few persons
will have failed to note the deep and
usually refreshing sleep which follows
any disturbance during the night which
has exposed them briefly to cold. Get
ting up to do some little service for sick
friend, or to attend to some natural call,
will usually lead TO sense of chilliness
which makes the warm bed clothes ex
tremely comfortable on again getting into
bed, and which is followed by sound
sleep. Here the brief contraction of the
peripheral vessels is followed by relaXa.
ton, leading TO more complete cerebral
anamia.
Al other times an increase of the body.
temperature Is the cause of disturbed
sleep, sometimes amounting to sleepiess-
ness. This is most frequently seen in
febrile states, where delirious condl-
ton takes the place OF natural sleep. After
the temperature has been brought down
by the application of cold, a fever patient
will commonly fall into refreshing sleep,
until return to fever temperature dis
turbs it. In slighter conditions OF rest
lessness, associated with too great body
temperature, the dissipation of certain
amount of superfluous heat by getting out
of bed and drinking draught of cold
water will usually be followed by sound
sleep. AT other times, throwing of some
of the bed-clothes will achieve the same
end; though, if the amount removed be
too great, wakefulness may follow from
too low temperature being brought about
With some persons, when the rest IS DIS
turbed, IL is sufficient 10 protrude an arm
or leg from under the bed-clotnes, SO as
to secure more loss of heat, and SOUND
