GETTING ENTHUSIASTICALLY morning Jo-
seph Vaughan, who is known to the police as
Lengthy Joe" became sadly intoxicated and
proceeded to have time. He attempted to
enter house on Munjoy Hill but was refused
admittance, when he seized a large stick of
wood and began breaking in the windows. He
was not content with smashing in the glass
simply, but took sash and all. About this time
officers Luther Sterling and Alonzo Harmon
arrived and after severe tussle arrested him.

SERIOUS CHARGE.-Saturday morning
officer Hanson arrested Bridget Hallaher, an
Irish woman who lodges in tenement house
owned by james McGlinchy on Cotton street.
The families living in the house suspect her of
setting fire to the house some time Friday
night or Saturday morning. A fire was dis
covered in close' in the night, but was ex-
tinguished, and she was charged with setting
it. She denies the charge, but from her con-
versation it would seem that she did not really
know whether she set the fire or not as she is
evidently insane.

so he would not have committed the error of
styling number of the audience, who with

ing down upon his head severe and just re.
buke from Judge Kingsbury. Doubtless he
attributed the Withdrawals to lack of interest

DIR. ScHENCK's PULMoNIc SYRUP, SEA WEED
TONIC AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These medicines
have undoubtedly performed more cures of Con-
sumption 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 reme-
dies advertised as cures for Consumption, probably
contain opium, which is 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 cure impossible. Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup is warranted 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 Con-
sumption 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 medicinei accompanied by full directions

FACTS ABOUT MAN.-If well-made
man beextended on the ground, his arm at
right angles with the body, = circle,
making the navel its center, will just
take in the head, the finger ends and
feet.
The distance from top to toe is pre-.
cisely the same as that between the
tips of the fingers when the arms are
extended.
The length of the body is just six times
thatSof the foot; while the distance from
the edge of the hair on the forehead to
the end Of the chin is one tenth the
length of the whole stature.
Of the sixty-two primary elements
known in Nature, only eighteen are
found in the human body, and of these,
seven are metallic. Irpn is found in the
blood, phosphorus in the brain, lime
stone in the bile, lime in the bones, dust
and ashes in all! Not only these eighteen
human elements, but the whole sixty
two, of which the universe is made, have
their essential basis in the foar sub
stances, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and
carbon, representing the more familiar
names Of fire, water, saltpeter and char
