During the past two years my mother and
brother have died of Consumption. was myself
quite unwell most of this time, and when, shortly
after their DEATH was attacked with cough and
severe hemorrhages, 1 naturally concluded that
was destined to go with the same disease. i'm
mediately consulted physician who made spe-
cialty of lung diseases After examining me- he said
that he thought my lungs were sound, and that 1
would soon recover. In less than aweek after this
I had another severe hemorrhage. Thinking that
my physician had made a mistake in my case, I
consulted another doctor. He thought my lungs
affected, and prescribed for me for a long time.
got no better under his treatment, but generally
worse. My cough was very bad, my appetite en-
tirely gone; had severe pain in my right side
and for months did not sleep more than two or
three hours in night. My tongue was heavily
coated and had bad taste in my mouth. had
the headache almost all the time.
Feeling that something must be done, at last
concluded to consult with DR.. Schenck, the physi-
clan who, L think, have good reason to believe,
to be the best in the treatment of lung disease.
went to his Office in Boston, and was examined
He found my left lung quite badly diseased, and
my liver seriously affected. He told me that I
could be cured ifI would follow his directions
Of course consented to do SO, and very soon
saw that my confidence in his ability was well
placed. I took the Mandrake Pills, Seaweed Tonic
and Puimonic Syrup, all at one time, as olreceo by
him, and within one month my worst symptoms
were gone. went to see the doctor on his next
visit to Boston, which one month after the
first time saw him, and he said Only continue
with the medicine and you will surely get well"
I did So and kept on gaining in every way until
Since my recovery 1 have not lost days time,
except when I have made friendly visits to the
doctor at his Boston office My cough is gone, my
appetite is good, have no headache or pam II
my side; Sleep better than ever did in my life,
and my lungs are apparently healed, as have no
hemorrhages.
These are the reasons why believe in and re-
commend Dr. J. H Schenck and his medicines
He did lust what he said he would do for me- and
l believe that owe my life to his medicines and
care. FRED F. TRULL,

STATEMENT OF MRS. ELLEN E. BUTLER,
cHARLESIOWN. MASS.


Eighteen wears ago / was sick with what my
physicians pronounced Consumption, that neither
ny friends nor myself thought that it was possible
for me to recover / had terrible cough, with
great loss of flesh, night-sweats, and had quite
severe hemorrhages as often as once week
Seeing that was getting worse every day, from
the treatment OF my physician, was induced to
call on DR.. Schenck one of his visits to Boston
After examining my lungs he said that they were
sound, and that my trouble came from the liver,
which SO badly swollen and infamed as to
press on the lungs, causing the cough and hemor,
Images He prescribed his Pumonc Syrup, SeaWeed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills, which soon gave me
great relief, and by their use, for few weeks,
was entirely cured. / have since advised their use
in great many cases of lung disease, and they
have always done all you claimed for them.

SHERMAN AND HARRIS


n "iiveiy Chosen by Republicans and
Democrats for the senate Chair.
WASHINGTON CITY, Dee 7.-Senators and
representatives began strolling to the
capitol at an early hour Saturday morning
BY 10 O'Clock Pennsylvania avenue pre-
sented inldwinter appearance. Long be-
fore noon all was hustle and excitement at
the capitol Senators assembled in knots
about their cha .nber, were privately discus
sing the probable outcome of the caucuscS,
but none Of the Republicans felt like
venturing prediction as to who
would be selected for president pro
tempore. 1t was generally conceded
by the Democrats that Senator Harris, of
Tennessee, would be honored bv the mi
nority, and this proved to be the case The
Democratic caucus, which was called to
order at noon, adjourned about thirty min
utes later, having unanimously agreed to
present the name of Senator G. Harris, of
Tennessee, for president pro tempore. The
senator expressed himself as very grateful
for the expression of confidence exhibited by
his brother senator's, and accepted the honor
bestowed upon him.
The Republicans senator's assembled in
caucus shortly after IL o'clock. At Los
Senator EdInunds came from the caurus-
room, and, as he entered. said: We have
agreed to nominate Mr.. John Sherman for
president pro tempore"
Upon the assembling of the caucus of Re-
pubhcan senators motion was made that
the caucus proceed to ballot for president of
the senate. Upon the ballot being taken
Mr Sherman received all the votes but four |
and upon motion of Mr.. Edmuntls the nomi- |
nation was made unanimous
Mr. Sherman acknowledge the honor in |
the following brief speech:
SENATORS: l return you my hearty
thanks for the high honor YOU propose To
confer upon me, Your action no doubt has
been influenced by the fact that have long
been member OF the senate Still. nv
duties hitherto have not given ME the prac.
teal experience necessary for good pre-.
siding officer. l can only say in accepting
the position assigned me, that will do all /
can fairly and impartialiy to observe and en-
force the rules of the senate, and shall RELY
greatly upon your forbearance and cour
tesy"
1t was then determined that the bills re,
lating to the presidential election and alsn
to the presidential succession which had
passed the senate during the last congress
should be introduced as soon as practicable,
and after proper reference and considera-
ZION, should be promptly passed

Cost and STRENGTH of the ARMY,

WASHINGTON CITY, Dec. 7.-The secretary
OF war in his annual report to the president
says the expenditures of appropriations by
the war department for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1885, We're $45, $50, ,999.5 OF
which Sl3, ,lti,,39i. 90 were for public works,
including river and harbor improvements
The appropriation for the fiscal year ending
June 80 1886, is S31 ,762 Alb 40, of
which S2,2i7 ,S92. "a is public works This
large reduction as compared with the appro-
priations of previous years is caused by the
failure of congress to pass the river and
harbor bill. The increase of expenditures
for 1888 over those of 1884 was mainly
for river and harbor improvements The
estimates for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1857 as received by the secretary
amounted to $S1, ,7s2, i?3 81, which he has re-
duced TO s4s,204 lS3, Is, of which sum S16,-

the general, hIuntiy, and that fact in itself,
TO his honest thinking, disposed at once of
any claim of his to be president of the sem

the presidency. He, therefore, positively
declined the honor proffered by his Repub-
hran colleagues, and in doing so greatly in
creased the respect with which the public

MAJ0R LLEWELLYN'S RESrEGy

/ -
Major Llewellyn, down at tic
Mcscalero agency, has established
the reputation of being one of the
most capable Indian agents in the
west. He certainly eXerts an cX-
traordinary influence over his
savage warriors, and has given to
the Indian problem as much study
probably as ANY other man in the
couutry. He has this advantage
over many other theorists he is
right on the ground, in daily asso-
clation with the people he theor-
lzes about, and what he may say on
the subject is sure to have a prac
teal value and strong element OF
common sense running through it
not often found in the learned dis
sertations of eastern philantroph-
lists. In this letter on the subject
published in The journal yester-
day, Llewollyn said more in the dl.
rection of satisfactory solution of
this Indian problem in that brief
letter than all others who have
written on the subject. And his
remedy that will certainly be
e1icacious if applied, involves no
injustice to the Indian. 1t simply
draws his fangs without impairing
his cal acity for deyelopement in
the right direction. That remedy
is simply to disarm the sayages
and make it an oifense involving
imprisonment for twenty-five years
fer any one to sell them arms or
ammunition. This is the whole
situation IN a nutshell. They can
do no injury without firearms.
Without them these bloody annual
rait would be impossible and the
proper authorities ought to make
haste to adopt this simple and per-
feet preventative against the Indian
outbreaks. Major Llewellyn has
earned prolcngation ofhis tenure
ofoffice by his wise and timely sug-
gsstion.

Report of His Police Chief, Captain
Branigan.
Mcscalero Agency, y. VI.
June 18th 1855.

June 18th 1855.
DEAR Nal. i enclose you re
port just received from Capt Bran
igan, my Chief Of Police, who is
with the troops at the Rio Grande.
Ii you deem it of sufficient import
ance, publish it.
There is no truth in the report
that the MescaIeros are discomfort
ed. All are ready to cooperate
with citizens or military, and all
are in favor Of the determination
OF the hostiles on sight. | have a
detail OF four mountcd and uni
formed police at The Agency, day
and night. to take news to the set
lers on the Penasco and elsewhere,
should there be necessity for it
There are about % men of the old
Nictorio band who live here with
the Mescaleroes, and are intermal-
ried. Lhis Is the only element |
have 10 fear, and VIZ watch them
continually.
| know, personally, that the
troops from Stanton, under Major
Van Horn, are doing all they can
to prevent an incursi0n. Such men
as Van Horn, Wallace, Stanton,
Stotsenbcrg, Davies, Cruise and
Paddock, do not take Il back seat
tor anything or anybody in the In
dian line. Capt. Wallace is with
out peer in the army in the rapid
movement Of cavalry: Z: To slander
and villify honorable men in the
army is a.disgrace to the people of
the Territory. The. troops, since
leaving Ft. Stanton, have made
splendid marches, one march Of
80 miles in s hours, another of 70
in 10 hours. The truth is, there
are not troops enough in the caval-
ry at Stanton. There should be
not less than II troops of cavalry.
| am no defender of the military,
but when such gallant men as Capt.
Chafiee, who is SCARED with hon
orable wounds, received in Indian
battles, and is known to be man
who never turns his back on an en-
envy, is SO maliciously slandered. it
seems to me that it is time to call
a halt, in the intcrest.of fairness
and common decency.
Truly, Yours,
W. II. ii. LLEwELLYN.
