five per cent. With us here we can
hardly vouch whether we have such

public are under the feint impression
that such an institution is yet in our
midst, and that opposition to it
would squelch it, or induce its dead
managers to work it little in the
interests Of the public even at exorbi-
tant rates.

Our friends of the New Orleans
Democrat have a news clipper, who
too often credits our local illusions
to the wrong paper in Alexandria,
and invariably quotes them as COM
ing from the Rapides Gazette
Thus far we have overlooked this,
but he has so badly erred in the eve
ming edition of Saturdays Democrat
that we must call attention to it. In
that issue this clipper of news is not
content with crediting our rural cor
respondence to the Gazette, but he
really gives our leader of last week
nearly in full, and broadly states it
comes from the Rapides Gazette
This is too bad and we want it cor
rected on our account and in Justice
to Mat. Wells, the President of the
Returning Board. The Gazette is
the property Of Mat. Wells, and new
er gave utterance to such thoughts
and facts as that article contains,
and is yet true to him, his Radical
party and the Returning Board.

THE EASTERN QUESTION.

Dispatches concerning the situation in the

and the customary paucity of facts. The arm

startling and important statement is made that
when Russia once orders rehabilitation Eu-
rope wll.be surprised at the speed with which
it will be accomplished. But the order has not

signed. In the House of Lords last night Earl
Dudley attacked the governments Eastern
policy and declared that the protocol if signed
would not protect the Christians He pitched
into Sir Henry Elliot and in return was severe
ly censured by Lord Derby.

peace is made with Montenegro, and Turkey
demobilzes her army by the middle of April

DIR. scHENcK's STANDARD REMEDIEs.w


The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs
are ScHENcK's PULMoNIo SYRUP, SoHENoK's SEA
WEED TONIC, and SoHENcK's MANDRAKE PILLS.
and, ftaken before the lungs destroyed speedy
cure is effected.
To these three medicines DIR. j. II. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in
the lungs; nature throws it off by easy expectora
ton, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe slight
cough will throw it of, tine patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this Schenck's
Mandrake Pills and Schencks Sea Weed Tonic must
be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver.
Sciencks Mandrake Pills act on the liver removing
all distractions, relax the gall bladder the bile
starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved.
Schencks Sea Weed Tonic is gentle stimulant
and alterative the alkali of which it is composed
mixes with the food and prevents souring 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 is taken to pre-
vent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DIR. Schenck, either per-
sonally or by letter, do at his principal Office
corner of SIXTH and ARCH STs., Philadelphia
every Monday.
