coNsUMPrIvEs TAKE NOTICE

Every moment Of delay makes your cure more
hopeless, and much depends the judicious choice
OF q remedy. The amount of testimony in favor Of
DR.. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure for Con-
sumption, far exceeds all that can be brought to
support the pretensions OF any other medicine See
Dr.. Sehenck's Almanac, containing the certificates
of many persons of the highest respectability who
have been restored to health, after being pro
nouuceI incurable by physicians Of acknowledged
ability. Schenck's Pulmonc Syrup alone has
cured many, as these evidences will show; but the
cure is often promoted by the employment of two
other remedies which DR.. schenck provides for the
purpose These additional remedies are Schenek's
Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. By the
timely use of these medicines, according to direc-
tions. DR.. schenck certifes that most any case of
Consumption can be cured.

Kidnapping in Connecticut.

On Friday afternoon, November 30, as
Miss Fannie Burt, aged seventeen years,
daughter of Charles Burt of Westport,
was seated in her fathers house, her
only company being an infant belonging
to her sister, two strange looking men
alighted from covered carriagein front
of the premises. They came to the door
and asked for drink of water. While
Miss Burt was obtaining the water the
men entered the apartment. On her re-
turn, one of the men stepped behind
her. seized and held her, while the other
forced handkerchief, saturated with
chloroforin, into her mouth, and
kept it there until she was insensl-
BILE. While in that condition they
stripped her entirely of her cloth
ing, invested her in pair OF trousers,
overcoat, hat and shoes belonging to her
father, dragged her from the house,
threw her into the carriage and drove of.
When she came to consciousness 1t was
night, and she in a strange apartment,
poorly lighted and furnished. There
she was kept prisoner for the space OF
four days, during which time she was
denied food, except the meanest sort,
and repeatedly outraged while under the
influence of chlroform. On Tuesday,
December A. Miss Burt found herself
alone. Taking advantage of the circum-
stances she forced open the door of her
prison and escaped.
After journey of four days and
nights, during which she did not eat,
drink or sleep, she reached Westport on
Saturday night, having walked dis
lance Of fully seventy-fve miles. She
appeared in state of such exhaustion
and with garments so tattered and torn,
that her parents failed to recognize her,
and it was only after hearing the sound
of her voice that they were enabled to
realize that the lost one was found.
DIR. George B. Bouton, who was called
to treat the injured young lady, pro
nounces her physical condition critical,
with the chances mnch against speedy
recovery. The greatest excitement pre-
walls among those residing near the
scene of the abduction. Miss Burt ex-
presses the belief that she can trace the
course taken by her from the house OF
her captivity to the depot at New
Britain, and can also identify her perse
cutors if brought near them. She will
though borne down by bodily weakness
proceed by rail to New Britain and aio
in seeking clue to the perpetrators Of
this high-handed outrage.

Sunday in San Francisco.
correspondence of the Boston Journai.l

AAofresnondenct OF thc bost"h SNNth
This cosmopolitan city is not made up
of church-going people. The Sabbath
is more of day of recreation than of re-
ligious observance. Thousands 90 over
to Oakland, or ride out to the Cliff
House to spend the day. tits q regular
holiday. The three thousand bar-rooms
and beer gardens do a lively business.
Sunday target companies have now given
way to hunting parties in search of field
sports, and you have only to ride few
hours in the cars before you will hear
the crack of the huntsman's gun and the
yelling OF his dogs. All sports and gay
cites are open and above board. There
is no attempt at concealment. The rep
resentatiyes of every nation have their
own way of enjoying themselves in pass
ing the Sabbath, and those who do not
observe its sanctity are the foreign classes
which are SO largely in the ascendency
here in point of numbers. The theaters
and other places of amusement are gem
orally crowded The most popular resort
is called Woodward's Gardens, which
attracts thousands of people on Sundays.
1t is such remarkable place of enter
tainment that il calls for more than a
passing notice. The price of admission
is only two bits When inside you find
the grounds very extensive, covering a
good many acres, while the variety of
sights are of such rare and unique
character that YOU don't wonder that
thousands go and see them. On all
sides you find curiosities from all parts
of the world in mineralogy, ichthyology
he artii-
thology, and quadrupeds. In strolling
over the grounds the eye falls upon
parterres of the rarest of exotics, while
the melodies from aviaries OF birds from
every cline delight the ear. You can
plunge into illuminated caverns filled
with aquariums of fish of all kinds:
you can recline on green, velvety slopes,
shaded with grotesque trees from all
quarters of the globe, while at your feet
runs a crooked, ripping stream over its
rocky bed, and then forming succession
of cascades before it debouches into a
pond, where a boat is at the disposal of
amateur oarsmen; you may behold yari-
GUS strata of rock Of immense size
piled up to initiate wild natural beauty,
with dimples of hillocks wet with spray
of fountains and fringed with trailing
vines; you can step into an immense in
closure and take look at an unsur-
passed collection of wild, ravenous ami
mails confined in cages, and who, when
prodded by their keepers, will startle you
with their roarings; you can while away
an hour in aeoneert room, where visitors
are refreshed with beer and a band Of
music; or you can pass another hour in
an amphitheater and become dazed with
feats of ampillereostation and all sorts
of wonderful performances. And all
this for twenty-five cents, and of aSun-
day as well as week days. Such is life
in San Francisco that can not realize
/ am hvingin an American city.
