Adrianople, the city which the Russians
entered on Sunday, and at which the armis
tice negotiations are being held, is situated
at the confluence OF the Tungda, the Mar
itza and the Arda, and is about 1876 miles
from Constantinople. Its population has
been variously estimated at from so, 600 to
140, 000inhabitants. According to the most
trustworthy accounts about half of these are
Turks &c, 900 Bulgerians and Greeks, and
the remainder Jews and Armenians. Adri-
auople was taken by the Turks from the
Greek Emporors in 1862, and was made the
capital of the Turkish Empire, remaining
so until Constantinope was seized in 1853.
The old part is surrounded by wall and
contains citadel. but they are now useless
as Gefenses. Recently more modern works
have been constructed by the Turks. The
first view of Adrianople is described by Won
Moltke as being wonderfully beautiful, the
white minarets and the leaf-roofed cupolas
of the mosques, baths and carovanserais
rising in countless numbers above the end.
less mass of fiat roofs and the broad tops of
the plane trees. The country around is also
exceedingly lovely. From the valleys Of
the rivers, hills rise up gently, but to con-
siderable height covered with vineyards
and orchards, and as far as the eye can
reach it sees nothing but fertile fields,
groves of fruit trees and tlourshing villages,
Within, however, the streets are narrow
and Irregular, the shelving roofs of many
of the houses projecting so as to meet those
on the opposite side of the way

1t is now a acknowledg fact that Consump
tion can be cured. 1t has been cured in very
great number of cases. (some of them apparently
desperate ones) by Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup
alone and in others by the same medicine in con-
nection with Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Man
drake Pills one or both, according to the REQUIRE
mentS of the case.
The old supposition that consumption is incur.
able" for many years deferred Physicians from
attempting to find remedy for that disease, and
patients afflicted with it reconciled Themselves to
death without an effort being made to save them
from doom which was considered newt able
DR.. Schenck himself was supposed at one time
to be at the very gate Of DEATH his physician hav
ing pronounced his case hopeless and abandoned
him to his fate; he was cured by the aforesaid
medicines and afterward enjoyed uninterrupted
good health for more than forty years. Thous
ands of people have used DR.. Schenck's prepara-
tions with the same remarkable success.

tise on Consumption, Liver Complaint Dyspepsia.

few days ago internal revenue officers
went to the residence of Mrs. Lydia Wings
of Taswell county, Va, for the purpose of
arresting her, on charges of illicit distlline
and violating the whiskey laws. They
found her in bed. She refused to get up
and told them if they wanted her they would
have to take her by force. In this dilemma
two officers promptly set to work. While
one pulled on her stockings, and garters,
and shoes, the other hauled her to a sitting
position, and bunglingly endeavored to put
mass of skirts, waists, dresses, and other
articles of attire in their proper places. AS
soon as the officers had put on as many
clothes as they supposed woman should
wear, they stood her up, shook out her
skirts, tied shawl about her head, and car
ried her between them to the county Jail.

EFFECT OF THE EIMAGINATIoN.-Ast strange

EFFECT OF THE 1MAGINATIoN.-As strange
case is that of Henry C. Ershman, living
near the boundary of the county, near
Sweetwood, who is the owner of considerable
property. Up to within several weeks ago
he was hale and hearty. Notwithstanding
his abundance of this worlds goods he gen
orally wore one suit of clothes during the
week and on Sunday. Several weeks ago
he was startled because he imagined that
very offensive odor either came from his
ears OR mouth OR the pores of his skin. He
was greatly alarmed, and imagined he was
sinking into galloping consumption, and
was gradually decaying. He was unable to
sleep, became haggard and emaciated, and
even his friends began to imagine that his
end was near at hand. He dressed himself
regularly, and was determined to keep on
his feet. He went in the fields and in the
woods determined to fight down his disease,
but wherever he went the same dreadful
stencil and feeling came over him. Finally,
an old woodchopper met him in the woods
one day. The woodman had long talk
with him, and he stood quite close to exam
inc him. Then the woodman asked the
sick man for his coat. It was examined
The woodman carried it away twenty yards,
and it was discovered that the stencil fol
lowed. The coat was thoroughly examined,
and dead mouse was found in the lining.
The mouse had by some means gotten in
the lining of his coat and died there, and
it's decaying body caused the unpleasant
eff1uvia. When this was known the sufferer
gained courage, and as he slowly realized
what imagination had done, he rallied and
was soon on the road to health.-Reading
