The popular impression, strengthened by
some scientific opinions, that consumption
cannot be cured, has no doubt fastened the
death of many invalids, by depriving them of
the consolation of hope. Persons afflicted with
pectoral disease should be supported by every
assurance of a cure, not alarmed by the
gloomy, foreboding countenances of those
around. For our part, we do not believe that
consumption is incurable, and let physicians
theorize as they will, we have mass Of evil
dence to prove that persons having all the
symptoms Of consumption, cough, deep,
bloody expectoration, pain and oppression,
sore throat, diarrhGa, night sweats, burning
fever. &C., have been permanently cured by
cdr. Swaynes Compound Syrup of Wild
Cherry" This old standard remedy pre-
pared only by DR.. Swayne & Son, Philadel-
phia. Price 25 cents and 81, or six bottles
for $5. The large size is the most cconomi-
cal. Sold by all prominent druggists.

What will not women endure to preserve
their beauty One of the most astonishing
instances of surgical patience and human en-
durance, is exemplied in the Pennsylvania
Hospital in the case of a young girl whose
lover shot her in the face, as related by For
ney's Progress. She was only sixteen and
very beautiful, but the jealous bastard had by
his act apparently rendered her hideous for
life, the whole skin of the face being pitted
with shot andpowder. One of the physicians
1t the hospital, who looks upon surgery as a
restorative art, after extracting the shot
picked out each separate grain of powder
with needle. The writer saw the patient
after she had recovered, and her skin was as
smooth as an infants.

Capt. Seecrest's Murder.

CHEroPA, KS, Aug. 13.-Fuller and more &C
curate particulars of the Seecrest murder have
reached here. Capt. seecrest, contractor on
the mail route from Vinita to Los Animos, N.
NJ, was returning from the latter point &C.
companied by ]. G. Witen, once sheriff of this
county, and clock peddler by tho name of
Young, who had some months lived at vinita.
On Sunday, July 27th they took dinner at
Burners, some eighty-fve miles w@t Of
Vinita. This is the last time they we're seen.
Some eight or ten days afterwards the buck
board and harness used by them was found
several miles from the road east of Burners.
Search has been made for their bodies or some
track of them, but as yet this is all known of
the matter. Four armed men were seen in the
neighborhood of Burners. About the time the
men were last seen the headquarters of gang
of desperadoes is thought to be situated not
more than fifteen or twenty miles FROM that
point. The superstition that these three men
have been taken off and murdered amounts
almost to a certainty, as such characters in the
territory were never known to do things by
half. Seecrest incurred the hatred of some of
these ruffians by helping to get some of their
number in the penitentiary some years ago,
and they had sworn vengeance on him.

her fault that from a very early
age she has been involved in scan
dals. Before she was l6, and when
hor father was Governor of Ohio
she made q great social commotion at Colum-
bus. Afterward, when her father was secre-
tary of the treasury, the Washington gossips
were filled to OVERLOOKING with accounts of
her behavior. When she married it was
supposed that she would govern her conduct
with more circumspection."
The Utica Herald, whose editor, ex-Con-
gresham Ellis II. Roberts, is knowing to
many of Conkling's little indiscretions, says:
"The affair at the summer residence of Sena-
tor Sprague will render public scandals
which it is the part of decency to conceal.
Those who have had the current stories
forced upon them will not wonder that the
injured husband has shot now, but rather
that he has not before attempted to defend
his honor. But he has long conducted him
self so as to command no great sympathy.
The scandals are SO fragrant that they can
now hardly fail to become notorious
'CoNK'' THE MISSING LINK.
Mr.. Conkling left Narragansett Pier with
more dispatch than neatness. The day fol-
lowing upon his arrival in Utica he sent for
one of bis satellites, Assemblyman Ben
Allen, and had an interview. The result
was that Allen went around among the faith
full. stating that he had ''just had an inter
view with 'Conk.'' This was on Saturday,
and before any public mention had been
made of the Narragansett row. The i'm
preston here is that Conkling hurried home
in order that the impression should be made
here that he was not at Narragansett when
Senator Sprague threatened to shoot. The
version of the affair introducing German
music teacher named Lincke is laughed at
here. The conviction is that Conkling is the
missing Link.
1t is stated on good authority that Cover
nor Seymour and his brother, John F. Sey-
mour, were closeted with Conkling this af-
ternoon. For about two weeks previous to
the demonstration of Friday Conkling had
been at Newport, which is only three miles
from Management Pier. Sprague has been
drinking heavily of late.
