Calling for Help.

When Dick Amiz first crossed into
York State from the Canada side, he
took lodgings at an Inn in Canandaigua.
A waiting maid sat at the table with
them, and Dick spoke of her as the SER
vdnt, to the no small scandal of mine
host, who told him that in his house
servants were called help. Very well:
next morning the whole house was
alarmed by loud shouting from Dick
Of "help helpl water! water helpl"
In an instant, every person in the inn
equal to the task, rushed into Dicks
room with pail of water. "I'm much
obleeged TO ye, to be sure" said Dick,
"but here's more than I want to shave
sOith!" "Shave with I" quoth mine
host, ''you called shelp!' and 'water!'
and we thought the house was on fire."
"Ye told ME to call the servant help
and do you think l would cry aOater
when I meant .frep" "Give it up"
said the landlord as he led off the line of
buckets

Anecdote of eurdon saltonstall.

Gurdon Saltonstall resigned his func-
tions as preacher for the Office of Gov
ernor. A religious sect arose protesting
allegiance to Christ only, and acknowl-
edging no authority in the civil law.
Among other peculiarities of their creed
was the right to contract marriage with
out the sanction of the civil authorities.
A man named Gorton was their leader.
He appeared before Governor Saltonstall
one day, as his Excellency was smoking
his long pipe, and announced that he
was married to woman whom he
brought with him and that without the
sanction of the law. The Governor
serenely removed his pipe, and asked;
"And you are determined to have
this woman for thy wife ?''
"Iam," replied Gorton.
"And you, madam, have taken this
man for your husband?"
"That 1 have, Sir" was the prompt
reply.
"Then," exclaimed the Governor,
Shy the authority and in accordance
with the laws of the State of Connecti-
cut, pronounce you legally man and
WIFE"
"Gurdon thou art a cunning crea-
ture," replied the discounted Gorton.

Every moment Of delay makes your case more
hopeless, and much depends on the iudicious
choice of remedy. The amount OF testimony in
favor of DR.. Schenck's Pulmonic .Syrup, as a cure
for Consumption, far exceeds all that can be
brought to support the pretentions of any other
medicine. see DR.. Schenck's Almanac, containing
the certificates of many persons Of the highest
responsibility, who have been restored to health
after being pronounced incurable by physicians o.
acknowledged ability. Schenck's Pulmonic SyruI
alone has cured many, as these evidences viii
show; but the cure is often promoted by the en-
ployment of two other remedies which DR.. schencl
provides for the purpose. These additional RENE
dies are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrak,
Pills. By the timely use of these medicines, &C
cording to directions, DR.. Schenck ccrtihes tha
most any case of Consumption may be cured.
DR.. schenck is professionally at his principa
office, corner Sixth and Arch SITS Philadelphia
every Monday, where all letters for advice must b

NEW YORK.

New York, Feb. 22.--Letters from ST.
Petersburg says Of the plague inRussia, that
it has spread in the southern provinces at
q rapid rate; thousands upon thousands
have died with it within the last days.
The victims. when taken, live only about
two hours and turn black as negroes all
over, All the physicians ordered to the
care Of the sick have died within twenty
four hours after their arrival. COrpses
are burned aud so are houses in which
people die. Whole towns have been laid
waste in the past few days. The govern
ment has placed Gordon Of soldiers
around the infected provinces so people
cannot get out and spread the disease.
Any who attempt to break through the
Gordon are shot dead on the spot. People
are beginning to feel uneasy all over. The
government, of course, does not allow the
news to get out; all reports are suppressed,
but the worst Of all is nobody can
get out of the Empire Of Austria
and Germany They have placed
a double Gordon of soldiers along all
the frontier, preventing all persons from
entering their territory from Russia. All
persons from Russia by railroad are stop
ped at the frontier and detained twenty
days in quarantine, their baggage and
| clothing disinfected, and, if they prove all
right alter the lapse of twenty days, they
ale permitted to cross the border. Dur
lng the twenty days of quarantine the
people are housed in large sheds and barns
| without any accommodations or comforts.
Of course knowledge of this fact keeps
people from travelling. There is no DOS
siblIlty of slipping out anywhere where the
government is doing all in its power to pre-
vent the disease from spreading, but, if i,
is not stayed soon, victims may fail By
thousands daily. it is much worse than thC
