DIR. soHENoK's STANDARD REMEDIES.

The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs
are ScHENCK's PULMONIo SYRUP, SCHENCK'S SEA
WEED TONIC and SCHENcK's MANDRAKE PILLS.
and, iftaken before the lungs are destroyed speedy
cure is effected.
To these three medicines DR.. j. n. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivaed success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in
the lungs nature throws it off by an easy expectora-
ton, for when the phlegm matter is ripe slight
cough will throw it of, the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this Schenck 8
Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic must
be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver.
SeIenck's Mandrake Pills act on the liver, removing
all distractions, relax the gall bladder, the bile
starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle stimulant
and Alternative; the alkali of which it is composed
mixes with the food and prevents sourng 1t assists
the digestion by toning up the stomach to healthy
condition, so that the food and the Pulmonic Syrup
will make good blood; then the lungs heal, and the
patient will surely get well if care is taken to pre-
vent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DR.. Schenck. either per-
sonay or by letter, do so at his principal office,
corner of SIXTH and ARCH STs., Philadelphia,
every Monday.
Schenck's medicines are sold by all druggist
throughout the country. ma1eod&w2msn

The Beginning and End Of the Storm.

Sergeant Boyd of the Signal Service station
in this city furnishes very interesting &C
| count of the late storm. 1t is the most severe
rain storm of the season. 1t commenced
Monday noon and continued with very heavy
fall OF rain and high easterly winds and dense
logs until last evening The storm seems to
nave had its origin in some one of the valleys
which bounds the eastern slope of the Rocky
Mountains Immense bodies of snow at this
season of the year lie in these valleys, and i'm
pregnate with moisture the cold, dry air which
sweeps down from the lofty peaks of the Noun
tain Range, and by the movements of the
atmosphere this moisture is forced upward to
colder strata, where it is condensed, and forms
the nucleus of storm"-as it advances to-
wards the east it constantly takes up all the
moisture in its path and gradually developes I'M
til it becomes giant inIits strength, and sweeps
the entire country; gradually expanding itself,
as it pours out its flood of water. Owing to the
limited number of reports received at the
signal station, the progress of the storm cannot
be traced as closely as could be wished mid
night reports Of the 23d gives the first ntima-
tion of a disturbance. Rain is reported at
st. Louis, threatening at Chicago, snow at
Cleveland, and generally cloudy weather at
all western stations, with clear weather on the
Atlantic coast. During the Oath the pressure
increased with easterly winGs, and slight rise
in temperature at all stations to the westward.
Midnight reports show the storm still central
over the Lake region, and moving slowly
eastward. On the 18th the storm had
developed at the middle and eastern stations
as far as New London, and extended to the
westward IS far as Cleveland, with clear
weather following at St. Louis and Chicago.
As the storm advanced towards the middle
states it extended itself, and reached the
Atlantic coast at Norfolk, Va, and embraced
an area of rain from the Atlantic to the Gulf
of st, Lawrence, and as far eastward as Bos-
ton. At midnight of the Goth the heaviest
precipitation was reported as follows: One
inch at Boston, one inch and forty -four hum
dreths at New London, one inch and twenty
six hundreths at Portland. Morning reports of
the 9th show the storm centre in the New |
England states, with southerly gales along the |
coast Clear and clearing weather to the |
westward as far as Erie, was reported at |
midnight of the 9th with westerly winds. |
The storm centre passed Portland yesterday. |
(the barometer fell to 29.13) and will advance |
along the coast of Nova Scotia. Storm signals |
were ordered on the evening of the 25th, IS |
hours in advance of the storm. The highest
velocity of wind, taken from the self-register |
shows 80 miles per hour, and a total of 466 |
miles in twenty -four hours. The total amount |
of precipitation during the storm was 2 81 |
inches to the square foot.
The rains have swollen the Saco river to |
sach an extent that freshet is looked for at |
any moment in the towns of Conway, Frye
burg and Brownfield. The Presumpscot is |
also very high and Pride's bridge is submerged |

Eggs for Easter.

! A visit among the produce stores in the city
show that there is an unusual small supply of
eggs on hand for Easter. If the present un-
pleasant weather should continue the farmers
will be prevented from coming to market and
very exorbitant prices may be expected on
Friday and Saturday. Up to the present time
there is but little advance although there is
scarcely sufficient supply to make prices. A
few lots can be had for II to IS cts in the mar
ket. IT the weather should be such as to al
low arrivals to-day these will be about the
prices asked the remainder of the week.
There is nothing definite to indicate when or
why the use of eggs was made an especial dish
on Easter, but it is supposed that on the early
customs is founded that which now prevails
among many people of having ham and eggs
on that day, at least for breakfast. 1t is pre-
sumed that the addition of ham to the original
custom of having the eggs alone, originated IN
the sixteenth century, when, after the games OF
Easter Monday refreshments were served, con-
sisting of CANNON of bacon, which was eaten
in adherence of the Jewish rules, with tansy
pudding, symbolical of the bitter herbs COM
manded at the paschsl feast.
Sunday was the distribution of the "pace' or
''pasche ege,' at one time universal in most of
the Catholic countries of Europe. The custom
still prevails among the peasantry of many
places;the young people being provided at their
festivals incident to the day, with hard boiled
dyed eggs, which they play with and finally
eat. This practice is still prevalent in many of
the counties of England and Scotland. The
eggs after being boiled are colored with red,
blue and violet dyes. with landscapes and in
scriptions traced upon them, and then offered
as presents An old custom was to use the
eggs as balls on Easter Monday, people of every
rank participating in the games, the bishops
and others of the clergy even participating. At
the beginning of the antiphone, the clergy
would dance, throwing the egg or ball to the
choristers, who in turn would pass it to one an
other
In France, Spain and Portugal the festivities
of Easter began on Holy Saturday and in Ger
many, Switzerland and Austria it is usual for
the young people on Easter eve to traverse
their towns and villages chanting Easter
hymns in accompaniment to their guitars.
They decorate their heads with wreaths of
flowers, and when darkness comes on they
bear wooden torches of pine. In return for
their singing, the elders, at whose house
they call, present them with eggs beside ex-
tending them refreshments. In every country
in the world the custom of having ham and
eggs on Easter for meal has become stand
ing rule, and the practice is not confined to
Roman Catholics The consumption of ham
and eggs during the week ending on Easter,
therefore, is greater than at any corresponding |
period in the year. |

VIM. G. Pike who recently murdered S. S.
Jones, editor of the Relgio- Philosophical
Journal, Chicago, turns out to be the same
man who travelled through New England 30
years ago, lecturing on and teaching mnemon-
les, or system of artificial memory by means
of arbitrary association. He was at that time
handsome young man, with the air of a stu:
dent and the long hair and studied freedom of
dress which mark the man of Ologes and istics
He was accompanied by his wife, young,
beautiful and amiable woman. whom, it seems,
he has since abandoned in favor of his present
wife. His system of teaching the art of mem
DRY he claimed as the invention of Robert Pike,
Jr., and VIM. G. Pike. and there are doubtless
many persons in the State who remember his
pamphlet and his lectures.

CITIZENS TEMPERANCE MEETINGs.-De-
spite the storm Congress Hall was again filed
last evening with highly appreciative audi

order and introduced E. A. Smith Esq, as the
President of the meeting, who addressed the
audience, calling attention to the rumors of the
great loss of business to Portland by the re-
moval of liquor dealers from the state. Mr..
Smith in convincing manner rented the idea
of this loss ofrumsellers being any loss to US as
a community, but rather decided gain. He
was followed by Messrs. Jacob Sanford. Hyer
Towle, Sylvester and Plummer. The pledge
was presented at the close of the meeting and
received large number of signatures, as in
deed it does every evening. These meetings
are great success and grand good influence
is going out from them.
The meeting this evening will be under the
auspices of the Temperance Union, and large
number of reformed men of Portland will
speak.

to occupy the field. as it were, and, besides,
Blaine and Hamlin probably wouldn't know
the difference in the matter of influence. We
may say that they are very substantial fixtures
in Maine politics. and new paper isn't an
