"Frightening nvalids.

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 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, diarrh9a, night sweats, burning
fever. &C., have been permanently cured by
"Dr. Swayne's Compound Syrup of Wild
Cherry" This old standard remedy pre-

The Stock Exchange never presented such
an admirable condition for profitable and
rapid stock operations. There never before
have been SO many fortunes made by quick
fluctuations and skilful manipulations. Care
full and reasonable people only operate through
the combination system of Messrs. Lawrence
& Co., which enables those with large or small
means to invest and realize handsome profits
which are divided pro rata among the share
holders every thirty days. New combinations
are constantly forming. From S25 to $4,000
can be safely invested with splendid opportu-
mites for quick profits. An Illinois grain
dealer made Sl3,220.4l in two investments.
A Michigan farmer invested $50, which yielded

The New York Mail says of the Maine
conspiracy. We doubt if SO monstrous a
plot can be successfully executed. But,
should it be, the weight of the blow struck
at the republican party will recoil upon
the heads of its authors. Corruption has
been blight which has often caused the
democratic patty to wither in the strong
sunlight of public sentiment, and popular
indignation will paralyze the party that
dares to stoop to the infamy which is en-
braced in this plot to steal the government
OF Maine.

Tilden's Hand in the Conspiracy,

Ever since public attention was first
called to the brazen fraud which Governor
Garcelon and other democratic leaders in
the State purpose to commit upon the cleo
tors of Maine, it has been common re-
mark that the plot was worthy of Samuel
j. Tilden. 1t now appears that there is
special reason why the plot ought to do
the Sage Of CIPHER Alley credit. 1t turns
out that it is his own. Gov. Garcelon and
his Council are not simply his imitators,
they are his tools. The counting out of
republican Senators and Representatives
who were elected and foisting upon the
people democratic Senator's and Represen-
tatives who were defeated means more
than the theft of the Maine Legislature.
vote of Maine in 1880.
This is no mere idle surmise There is
full warrant for the belief that the move
ments of the Maine consprators are direct
ed from Gramercy Park and have the
scope and significance which we have as
cribed to them. One OF the coolest and
most sagacious of the politicians of New
England informs us. as a result of his swn
looking into the matter, that there can be
no reasonable doubt either that Tilden is at
the bottom of the fraud or that it is part of
scheme to transfer Maine from the e.
publican to the democratic column in the
national contest of next year. Informa-
ton received from other Trustworthy
sources is to the same effect. Nor is there
any good reason, in the nature of things.
to question this view of the conspiracy If
