Col. Mcclure, of Pennsylvania, formerly
a leading Republican of that state, seems
to have leaning toward Gov. Tilden
He says of him in the Philadelphia Times,
For once the Democracy haye given
the country leader who is himself the
embodiment of the issues Of the contest.
He is no expedient-no inoffcnsivc nobody
to drivel through contest without offense.
He comes before the American people just
when there is famine Of manly leader
ship and universal feast of uusavory lit
tleness. He will be opposed by some who
believe more in the Democracy of the past
than in the grandeur of national regen-
Grafton, hut unless the audible whispers
Of Republican discomfort are utterly mean
ingless, each setting sun will rise on Gov.
Tilden strengthened in the trust of the
people. Such is the teaching of to-day,
and there must be reactionary wave
stronger even than that of August, 1872,
if he shall not be the centennial President

A COMPLICATED DISEASE.

There is prevailing, at the present time,
very generally throughout the country, a
welfare of the American people. The dis
ease makes its appearance with bad taste
in the mouth, pain in the back, sides and
shoulders, dizzy sensation in the head, a
sort of whirling when rising up suddenly, a
peculiar distressed feeling at the pit of the
stomach, an all gone sensation, with dis
the stomach, the countenance has haggard
appearance, eyes sunken and tinged with
yellow, bowels are costive at times, urine
scanty and highly colored, with sediment on
standing, hands and feet cold and clammy
at times, the skin after while has dark
dirty appearance, with brownish colored
spots; after death the liver, kidneys, pan
creas and absorbent vessels are found to be
diseased. OF late remedy has been found
that removes this complication aof diseases
from the system. We refer to the SHAKER
EXTRACT OF Roofs (not patent medicine)
1t is sold by A. j. White, 319 Pearl Street,

DIR. scHEscK,s Pu1Mos1c SYRUP. S,

DIR. SCHENcK's PULMoNIc SYRUP, SEA
WEED Tonic AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These med
icines have undoubtedly performed more cures Of
Consumption than any other remedy known to the
American public. They are compounded of vege
table ingredients and contain nothing which can
be injurious to the human constitution. Other
remedies advertised as cures for Consumption
probably contain opium, which is a somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases, and, If taken freely
by consumptive patients, it must do great injury
for its tendency is to confne the morbid matter in
the system, which, of course, must make a cure
impossible. Schenck's Pulmonic Swap is war
ranted not to contain 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 and expel all
the diseased matter from the body. These are 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 Consump
ton. Each bottle of this invaluable medicine Is
accompanied by full directions. DIR. Schenck is
professionally at his principal Office, corner Sixth
AID Arch streets. Philadelphia, every Monday,
where I'll letters for advice must be addressed.

The supply Depot of the Body.

The stomach is the grand supply depot Of
the body, upon which 1t draws for all the
elements needed in the composition of bone,
muscle, brain and blood. The liver is an
important auxiliary of this mighty organ,
and the two are most intimately connected.
Nothing SO certainly ensures the harmoni-
GUS action of these visccra, and SO complete
ly removes the disorders which simultane-
ously affect both, as Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, the most popular American specific
for all complaints to which the stomach,
liver and bowels are subject, and the fore
most tonic on this side of the Atlantic In
digestion, costiveness, inactivity and con-
gestion of the liver, poverty of the blood,
debility of the bladder and kidneys, and
many other ailments produced by or caus
use.

EASTERN people have frequently beer

EASTERN people have frequently been
puzzled to find definition of the IA
nous race of San Francisco hoodlums.
They are from sixteen to twenty years
old. A police officer tells what one OF
them did: HE drinks beer out of a
bucket in the sand lot; he stands watch
for 'em while the others play poker in
the sand lot, and a mighty poor watch
he is. They knocked down a grocery
man and went through his till, hit a
man with a cobblestone, cleaned out a
wash house, stole all Mrs. Martins hens
and cooked 'em in the sand lot, killed
three pet dogs and left the carcasses
on the street, tore down Gallaghere
fence, started three runaways, broke ten
windows in the Hayes Valley cars,
frightened the school-teachers and chill
dren coming from the grammar school,
and # you want me to go back month
I'll tell you things that'n make your
hair stand on end"

Which Shall Take3

This is often a seriJ:is question with the
invalid. He finds the market flooded with
proprietary medicines, scores of which are
recommended as certain cures for his pecul-
lar ailment. He reads the papers, circulars,
and almanacs, and finds each sustained by
plausible arguments setting forth its virtues
and specific action. The recommendations
are as strong for one as for another. The
cures claimed to have been wrought by one
are as wonderful as those claimed to have
been wrought by another. In his perplexity
and doubt, the sufferer is sometimes led to
reject all. But it should be borne in mind
that this condition of things is one that can
not be remedied. In a land where all are free,
the good-the truly valuable-must come
into competition with the vile and worth
less, and must be brought to public notice
by the same instrumentality, which is ddUer-
sing. In such case, perhaps the only alb
solute proof that remedy is what 1t claims
to be, is to try it; The "test of pudding
is the eating of it, Prove all things, hold
fast that which is good" is the apostolic in
junction. There may, however, be stronger
presumptive evidence in favor of one rene
dy than there is in favor of another, and
this shGOld be allowed its due weight. A
due regard to this may save a vast amount
of experimenting and a useless outlay of
money. AS presumptive evidence in favor
of DIR. Pierce's Family Medicines, the
Proprietor desires to say, that they are
ess by which the virtues of the crude plants
and roots are extracted without the use
oil a particle OF alcohol. Not 4 particle OF
this destroyer of our race enters into the
composition of either his Golden Medical
Discovery or Favorite Prescription. This
consideration alone ought certainly to rank
them high above the vile compounds satu-
rated with alcohol, Jamaica rum, sour
beer, or vinegar, which are everywhere of
fered for sale. Again, they are of uniform
strength and their virtues can never be i'm
paired by age. They are also made from
fresh herbs and roots, gathered in their ap-
propriate season, when they are flush with
medicinal properties. In support of these
claims, the following testimony is offered:

The Old Couple.

IL stan Is in a sunny meadow,
The house SO messy and brown,
With its cumbrous old stone chimney.
And the gray roof sloping down.
The trees fold their greer arms around it,
Tie trees a century old;
And the winJa go chanting through them,
And the srnbeams drop their gold.
The ccwslips spring in the marshes,
And the roses bloom on the hill;
And beside the brook in the pastures
The herds go feeding at will.
Tae children have gone and left them;
They sit in the sun alone,
And the old wife's ears are falling,
As she harks to the we'll known tone
That won her heart in her girlhood,
That has soothed her in many care.
And praises her now for the brightness
Her Old face used to wear.
The thinks again of her bridal
How. dressed in her robe OF white.
She stood by her gay young lover
In the mornings rosy light.
OH the morning is rosy as ever,
But the rose from her cheek has hedi
And the sunshine still is golden,
But it falls on a siivered head.
And the girlhood dreams. once vanished,
Come back in her winter time,
Till her feeble pulses tremble
With the thrill of spring time prime
And locking forth from the window,
Size thinks how the trees have grown
Since, clad in her bridal wilderness,
she crossed the old door stone.
Though dimmed her eyes bright azure.
And dimmed her hairs young gold,
The love in her girlhood plighted
Has never grown dim or old.
They sat in their place in the sunshine,
Till the day was almost done;
And then, at its close. an angel
Stole over the threshold stone.
Tie folded their hands together
He touched their eyeballs with balm;
And their last breath hoated upward,
Like the close Of a solemn psalm.
Like bridal pair they traversed
The unseen, mystic road
That leads to the beautiful city,
"whose builder and maker is God"
