ACADEMY THIS WEEK.
Readings by Mrs. Scott sidions-Lectare by
Or. Talmage-smateur
Opera, &c.

The latter part Of This week the great
drawing card of the theatrical season.
Mrs. james Brown Potter-will be at
the Academy in this city. She opens
her engagement here Thursday night in
"Loyal Love-" and gives four perform
snces, playing the same piece at all OF
them.
Mrs. Potter, while prominent society
woman in the North. first came into
somewhat painful publicity two or three
years ago by the recitation OF Sims $
poem "Ostler joe" the propriety Of
which exploit many questioned. After
wards she studied for the stage and made
her debut in London. Subsequently
she appeared in New York before a
$4,000 house, and while some reports
were adverse, yet the general verdict
was that Mrs. Potter is an actress of
artistic proficiency and promise that
she clothes her lovely figure with exqui-
site gowns, and that she is beautiful
woman-some think rivalling Mrs. Lang
try her charms.
Kyrle Bellew and Henry Lee, two
well-known New York actors, are with
Mrs. Potter's company.
The sale of seats begins tomorrow,
and of course there will be a rush.
Everybody wants to see Mrs. Potter.

What Is this Disease that Is Coming
UHon Us2

chest and sides, and sometimes
in the back. They feel dull
and sleepy; the mouth has a
bad taste, especially in the
morning. A sort of sticky slime
collects about the teeth. The
appetite is poor. There is a
feeling like a heavy load on the
stomach; sometimes a faint, all
gone sensation at the pit of the
stomach which food does not
satisfy. The eyes are sunken,
the hands and feet become cold
and clammy. After a while a
cough sets in, at first dry, but
after a few months it is attend
ed with a greenish-colored ex-
pectoration. The patient feels
tired all the while, and sleep
does not seem to afford any
rest. After time he becomes
nervous, irritable and gloomy,
and has evil forebodings. There
is a giddiness, a sort of whirl-
ing sensation in the head when
rising up suddenly. The bow
els become costive; the skin is
dry and hot at times; the blood
becomes thick and stagnant;
the whites of the eyes become
tinged with yellow; the urine
is scanty and high colored, de-
posting a sediment after stand
ing. There is frequently q
splitting up of the food, some
times with a sour taste and
sometimes with a sweetish
taste; this is frequently at
tended with palpitation Of the
heart; the vision becomes i'm
paired, with spots before the
eyes; there is a feeling of great
prostration and weakness. All
Of these symptoms are in turn
present. 1t is thought that
nearly one-third of our popu-
Iation has this disease in some
Of its varied forms.
1t has been found that ply
sicians have mistaken the cause
cf this disease. Some have
treated it for a liver complaint,
others for kidney disease, etc.,
ETC., but none of these kinds of
treatment have been attended
with success; for it is really
constipation and dyspepsia. 1t
s also found that Shaker Elk

GELS Curative Syrup, when
properly prepared viii remove
his disease in all its stages.
Care must be taken, however,
10 secure the genuine article.

Mr.. John G.. Hemptinstau,
Of Chulafrmee, Cleburn Co.,
Ala, writes: "My wife has
been so much benefited by

here be cut ot place to note that while in
the Old ships the partitions and wooden
screens we're all hooked up and got out OF
the way in preparation for battle, SO that
the decks were clear, in these days when

doors are closed, the ship cut up into as

The Point Was Visible.

They were sitting on the piazza of the
Eushaqua house at hnowersvllle and one
gentleman ventured the remark that the
capitol at Albany doomed mp wonderfully
clear in the morning light. "Bosh, per-
feet bosh," grumbled one wise looking
gentleman, without taking his eyes from
the feast Of scenery stretched before him
in an opposite direction. at is an impos-
sibility for the naked eye to distinguish
objects at that distance. Eighteen miles,
sir, you forget the distance. = Lets see,
Charlie, said one OF the party to a friend

hear, ''how far of is the moon, anyway"
The old gentleman coughed, mumbled
something about common sense in all
things and shufTied off TO the card room.

SILENCE.

Come down from thy aerial height,
Spirit of the summer night
Come stepping softly from the slender moon
Where thou dost lie upon her gentle breast
And bring a boon
Of silence and of solace for our rest.
Or lift us, lift our souls to that bright place
Where she doth hide her face;
Lap us in light and lustrous fleece, and steep
Our hearts in stiffness; drench in drowsy
dreams;
Give us the pleasant languor that beseems,
And rock our sleep.
Quell thy barbed lightning in the sombcr west;
Quiet thy thunder dogs that bay the moon;
Soothe the days fretting like a tender nurse;
Breathe on our spirits till they be in tune.
Were it not best
To hush all noises in the universe,
And bless with solemn quietUde, that thus
The still, small voice of God might speak to us!
