Take Particular Notice.

DIR. F. Addresses all those who have injured
themselves by improper indulgence and sOli-
tary habits. which ruin both body and mind,
uniting them for either business, study, So
ciety or marriage.
These are some OF the sad and melancholy
effects produced by the early habits of youth,
viz: Weakness Of the Back and Limbs, Pains
in the Head, Dimness OF sight, Loss OF Mus
cular Power, PalpitatiOn OF the Heart Dys-
pepsia, Nervous lrritability, Derangement OF
the Digestive Functions, General Debility,
symptoms of Consumption, etc.
MENTALLY-The fearful effects on the
mind are much TO be dreaded. Loss Of Mem
ory, Confusion OF Ideas, Depression OF spirits,
Evil FOrebOdings, Aversion to Society, Self
Distrust, Love OF solitude, Timidity, etc, are
some of the evils produced.
Thousands of persons Of all ages can now
Judge what Is the cause of their declining

Solitary Vice, that dreadful and destructive

has made the above diseases the special study
of his life and to the treatment of these he
brings all his talent, skill and long expert
ence.
1t will, therefore, not surprise those who
are intelligent enough to discern, that the
physician who treats the diseases of one or

superior to those who pretend to be equally
skilled in the treatment of all known dis

organal Weakness

Immediately cured and full vigor restored.
This distressing. .affection-which renders
life miserable and marriage impossible-is
the penalty paid by the victims of improper
indulgence. Young persons are too apt to
commit excesses from not being aware Of the
dreadful consequences that may issue. Now,
who that understands this subject will pre-
tend to deny that the power of pro-creatiOn
is lost sooner by those falling into improper
habits than the prudent? Besides being de-
prived OF the pleasure of healthy offspring,
the most serious and destructive sym ptoms
of body and mind arise The system becomes
deranged, the Physical and Mental Functions
weakened, Loss of Provocative Power. Ner-
vous Irritability, Dyspepsia, Palpitation of
the Heart, Indigestion, Constitutional Debili-
ty and Wasting of Frame, Cough, COnsump-
ton, Decay and Death.

David Dudley Field has secured
the passage of a bill through the
House providing for the succession
of the Presidency, in case of fail
ure to complete the Electoral count
by the 4th of March. This bill
makes the President of the Senate
first in the line of promotion; then
follows the Speaker of the House
Sam Randall would be the man now
and then as the dernier resort
the Secretary of State. Ten Dem
ocrats were sensible enough not to
be caught performing in such farce
and voted against the bill.
The bill goes to the Senate, but
having entered the door of the Sen
ate Chamber will never come out of
It, save as waste paper.
The assumed contingency will not
occur. Whether it is the duty of
the President of the Senate alone,
or of Tellers appointed by Congress,
to count the votes, there is now no
question but that they will all be
counted. The revolutionary faction
in the House have been unable 70
carry the majority of their party in
that body with them, and failure to
complete the count is danger no
longer to be feared. David Dudley
Fields bill is therefore Of no conse.
quen ce, and is only evidence of so
m uch labor lost.

THE BUILDING PRosPEC

= --AAAAC@Ne
THE BUILDING PROSPECT.
There has been no building in
New York to speak of for three
years; because there is now on the
island more houses than there are
families, and more stores than there
are merchants. Real estate is the
poorest property a man can have in
this city, for there is no such thing
as dodging taxes on it, and rents are
nothing. But as bad as the lookout
is for rents, there Will be a very
large amount of building this season.
The average New Yorker is foolish
enough to believe in the final tn
umph of the city over the adverse
circumstances it finds itself in, and
that within a year or two there will
be a demand for property; and he
is going to build this summer, be-
cause he viii be able to build cheap
er than he ever will again. For In
stance, common lab0rers are getting
only 80 cents a day, hodcarriers, 81;
and bricklayers, 81. The latter used
to command from S. to 81. Car
penters, painters, plasterers, in short
all the trades that enter into build
ing, are reduced in the same proper
ton. And there is almost as great
a difference IN building material.
Brick and stone are down to hard
pan, and there must be an improve
ment in them next year. The own
er of improbable real estate reasons
that if he can build this summer at
half of what it will cost him two
years hence, he can we'll afford to let
the building stand idle for the time.
Consequently, there will be a great
many buildings erected this year
which will stand empty. But it will
be good thing, for it will give the
poor employment, and help to bridge
over what otherwise would be ter
rible year.

Mrs. Mary Clemmer went into the
Supreme Court room the other day
while the Electoral Commission was
in session, and this is what she says
she saw: "On raised dais, in a
straight row, sit the Justices. Di-
rectly before them, this morning,
stood Evarts-slender, delicate, mo-
tionless, emitting a stream of long
involved, splendid sentences. The
Judges sat intently gazing on this
intellectual wonder. Field took a
calm, contemplative view, through
his large glasses. Bradley looked
out either side of his very high nose,
and neither eye could ell any tales
on the other. Justice Clifford sat in
the middle, big as Jove, but too lazy
to launch a thunderbolt. Justice
Strong, with a white head, sharp fea-
lures, and foxy eyes, was fussing
about in his chair, as if the argument
were a bore. Justice Miller leaned
back, the image of serenity, placid
as May morning. Then there was
Edmunds, looking like Jewish law
giver; and Frelinghuysen, medita-
ting on his grandfather; and Nor
ton, who has the most inconsequent
nose ever set as vestibule to so
grand head. 1t is like a classic
tower with a barn-door entrance.
At the end sat Bayard, whose fine,
strong head and face honor his
grandfather; and next him, Thur
man, muffied to the ears in a cash
mere scarf, worn with neuralgia, and
looking as if ne had the mumps. AT
the opposite end sat Henry B.
Payne of Ohio, a classical-looking
gentleman; and Josiah G. Abbott of
Boston, who looks like Hawthorne;
and James A. Garfield, whose head
and face certainly do not lack
strength of outline, whatever else
they lack; and George F. Hoar of
Massachusetts, trim, clear cut, and
gray; and Eppa Hunton of Virginia,
with a pug nose, unilluminating
eyes, and high head"

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-In the Crimi-
nal Court this morning the second
trial of Alexander Sullivan for the
murder of Francis HaDford began,
Leonard SWEET and Emory StOrrs
appearing for the defendant the
latter having taken the place of Col
onel Robert IngersOll, who was ex-
pected to defend Sullivan. Judge
McAllister is presiding, as in the
former trial, in which, it viii be re-

Hewitt, of the House, wants to be
honest, but finds the task difficult
in the midst of such surroundings.
he seems, too, not to be the only
one in this situation, speaker Ran
dali appears to have caught some
thing of the same weakness. The
postures of Ben Hill and other
Southern members in refusing to be
drawn into the Tilden plot makes
these fellows hesitate. The 10 gic of
the times sto the effect that extremes
meet, and Southern fre-eaters seem
to think there is quite as much to be
expected from the Republicans in
restoring the prosperity of the
South, as there is from those who
have once proved perfdious and
cowardly toward them.

Mr.. Tilden waited until he sup
posed the bargain to stop hunting
up bank accounts and kilograms was
fully consummated, and then he
boldly invited the world to look at
his books. This would be very
plausible and assuring but for the
strange conduct of the cashier of
the bank where Mr.. Tilden's cash
was deposited. When served with
a subpoena, this official informed the
Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms that he
should not obey it, and he did not
obey it until the Senate ordered
his arrest. If Mr.. Tilden is willing
to give the public a squint at his
cash transactions during the cam
paign, why this stubborn refusal of
the only man who can produce them?

Some of the filibusters of the
House, on Monday last, made such
a tumult about stampeding and
breaking up the Commission, that
the fiery Southerners-whose judg-
ment seems to be getting the better
of them-felt constrained to rally to
the support of Hewitt, who tried to
lead his party away from their blus.
tering tom-foolery. One of the old
battle-scarred Confederates, disgust
ed with this course of things, took
occasion to remark-th that those who
were the loudest and fercest for
blood, now, were the men who, when
their services were wanted at the
South, some fifteen years ago, turn
ed against them and came up miss
ing. The rebuke was electric. They
became as sucking doves!

Tilden has wagered, if not his all,
certainly much that is usually con-
sidered from stand point of hon
esty, worth living for, to make for
himself a future. The emptiness
and uncertainty of human expecta-
lions may be seen first in his failure
to attain the object of his ambition,
and secondly in the disappointment
and vindictiveness of those who
hang to his skirts and who-now
that they can be of no more use
are shaken off in modification and
disappointment, to shirk for them
selves. The organs of the party are
already casting about for reasons for
their defeat, and when they get
down to Tilden they do not hesitate
to use pretty free language style
of literature, which may become
more or less general among the pa
pers of the party, after the 4th of
March.
