On the birth of an heir to the tiny
principality of Reuss, the other day, the
capital city was illuminated, and,
as German paper remarks, the can
dies shed their mild light across the
frontier. This recalls the story about
the ruler of another small German prin-
cipality, who, in some fit ofindignation,
sent an order to Beethoven to quit his
dominions within "a hours. Beethoven
sent back answer to the effect that if his
Highness would look from his balcony
he would see him crossing the frontier
within five minutes.
THE Greensboro (Ky.) Examiner is
responsible for this: Last fall, in build

on Crittenden Street, some cherry trees
which stood in the yard were trimmed
and their branches thrown upon the

earth was hauled upon the lot and the
branches covered under some eighteen
inches to two feet. To-day off-shoots
from those branches, only four inches
above the ground, may be seen hanging
full of cherries.

scHENcx's SEA WEED TONIC.

In the atmosphere experienced here during the
summer months, the lethaigy produced by the heat
takes away the desire for wholesome food, and
frequent perspirations reduce bodily energy, par
ticuarly those suffering from the effects of debli-
ting diseases. In order TO keep natural health
full activity of the system must resort to artlf-
cial means. For this purpose schencks Sea Weed
Tonic is very efectual. few doses will create an
appetite and give fresh vigor to the enervated body
For dyspepsia, it is invaluable. Many eminent
physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia can be
permanently cured by the drugs which are gener
ally employed for that purpose. The Sea Weed
Tonic in its nature is totally different from such
drugs. 1t contains no corrosive minerals or acids
in fact it assists the regular operations of nature
and supplies her deficiencies. The tonic in its na-
ture much resembles the gastric juice that it j:
almost identical with that fluid. The gastric juct
is the natural solvent which, in healthy condition
OF the body causes the food to be dgested; anc
when this juice is not excreted in sufficient quaint
ties, Indigestion with all its distressing symptom
follow. The Sea Weed Tonic performs the dut.
of the gastric juice when the latter is deficient

After the recess Kellogg said, answering
Springer, that he had frequently talked
with Gen. Anderson during the sessions of
the returning board; Anderson and Wells
had told him that kenner was very timid
about signing the report of the board, as
he had suffered good deal for his connec-
ton with the board 10 1874, and feared
further odium; Gov. Wells said the dem
ocrats were using great efforts and he
feared they would be successful iu inhu
encng some members of the board OF

raising money for Kenner or any other
