THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPII PHILADELPHIA, AVEDMSDAV, PKlfflUAKY 3, 18G9. V BJBW'YORKISMS. from Our Oum OnretywidenL Nw York, Fob. 8, 1869. Th! la the age of tnnhels, Atlantlo cable, a1frgroUQd railroads, East river bridges, air Jae roDtes, velocipedes, and balloon voyages. h old question or tho posslblll'y of crossing Uo AUautlc "op in a balloon" Las Just been re. wkened bj tho appearance In the midst of tis tf Mr. Chevalier, a Sl?s gentleman, of not lnore than thirty years of as.e, who has spent fell the yeais of bis manhood in rounding and developing hU iuuate ideas on the subjeet Cf balloons. Personally, Mr. Chevalier la pro Possessing, and although he has been In this city scarcely a fortnight, he has alrea ly made numerous friends, who listen to his arga tnents with an air very diffeiqnt from that of endurance or condescension. His eyes are of that clear-obscure which Byron ascribes to the iuimamoui under which "I'arasina' siunej, and his mouth and chin have that mildness and frmness that ore often rightly conjectured to be indi cative of strength. Ho is a perfect enthusiast p-Jl the art of ballooning, and has made ascen- aionf&ojn almost every habitable part of the globe. Irttpoxtcan be relied upon, his name Is equal'y familiar to the civilized inhabitants of Sorope, Asia, Africa, and Occaulca, and he has Come hither to spread his repute among tho Inhabitants of the fifth grand division of the globe. Darin the twelve or fifteen years which he has spent in going up aud coming down, be has lost time, money, breath from bis boJy and gas from his balloon, aud has occasionally damaged his beulih aud limbs. But ho has never lost hope; and the fljluR mnchluo he brings with him is large enough to inspire even the Incredulous with some degree ot pleasing anticipation. The model upou which It is built U, of course, that natural balloon, the bird. I he principal materials of which it is con structed are bamboo and Iron the car bearing a general resemblance to the "lowly thatched J. cottage" which is the poetical synonym for j ''Sweet Home," and the wings or sails I extending on each side fifty feet. I The date for starling has not yet been pesi ( lively fixed, but it will probably be some time .""bis month. The bamboo cottage will accom I niodate a dozen people, If a dozen ean be found I halr-brainod enough to trust themselves to tbe waves and billows of the atmospheric ocean. h Tot his part, Mr. Chevalier Is ooly anxious to I Hart as soon as possible. He don't want to wait I . Until the warm weather, for fear of losing his gas, to say nothing of the balloon bursting. He insists that at a certain elevation I forget how many thousands of feet a favorablo atmo spheric current prevails, which must sooner or later watt him safely from this port to Europe. Since he has no objection to reporters or special Correspondents, it is not improbable that several Of those venturesome creatures will accompany him, and that in due time we shall be reading the very latest from tho pens of Bohemian bal loonists. For my own part I should prefer a voyage that has a greater variety of natural scenery in It. . The new opera bmffe, Fleur de The, was re peated last night. Uose Bell, who, until very lately, baa been extremely punctual, is again suffering from one of those sudden and mys terious indispositions that me peculiar to the -Stage, ' iruia, indeed, seems to be tbe only iteady-aoirig, reliable prima donna that we have. 8ue is never ill, never in bad voice, and her occasional iunperlincuces arc so'charmiug and childish, so involuntary gaud unmeant, that she standi forgiven. The Jolly and asthmatic Tostee has hSflicieutly recovered from that "severe fall" to sing in Urooklju, and reappears hcrivnext week as "r-urjdice," in Orphee aux 2?Vr. Descla-uzas has replaced Rose Bell for Ahe present, but owing to the unavoidable contu sion of Monday night the curtain did not nsvS until 9 o'clock, nor make its fin;il fall untif midnight. Iu Fleur de lite, as in Genevieve, the hero U a oook. His name is "Pluoonnet," who mbinits to bigamy rather than the bastlnalo and who runs great ii"k of being impaled iu tha nreavor to remain faithful to his first wife. Of the morality I need enly fay that it Is French, and I bave no doubt I shall bo understood. Mr. Benjamin F. Ham, who is auditor of the Union PaciSc Railroad Company, prays that a number of people be Inimcdlutcly arrested anl summarily r.ealt with as tbe law directs. The i ns oi these people, to wit, Goodall, Lyon, and Wolf, const-1, according to the depositions of tbe said Ham, iu haviug swindled tbe company oiitof $100,000. bv means of fraudulent state- i menta made bT them, to which be (Ham) lent a I too credulous tar. Goodall is a money bmlcer Brordwat ; Ljou is a lawver, with an office at Ho. 4 Bioaa street. Wolf aud two or three o'.her parties mixed up in the business are Wall itroet opeiatois.

A S C H E Rl C EC'S ruLMONic siitur, SEAWEED TONIC, an4 MANDRAKE PILLS WILL CURE CONSUMPTION. LIVER COMPLAINT. AND DYSPEPSIA, ll'takeu according to Hie directiouH. They are all tbtee to be taken at tbe simo tlino. Tbey cleanse tbe stomach, re l ix tbe liver, and put It to work; tin n thc appetite becomes cood: tbe food digests and makes pood blood; the pa'icnt begins to prow in flcub; tbe dic.uecl muHer ripets in tho lungs, aud tbe patient outcrops the diiease and gets well. Tbis U tbe only way to cure Consumption. To Ihcee three medicines Dr. J. II. SCUEXCK of rhllndcliihln, owe hie UNRIVALLED SUCCESS In the treatment ol l'uluionary Cousumptlou. Tbe Pulmonic Sjrup ripens tbe moibid ma'.ter in tbe lungn, nature throws It off by an easy expectoration," for when thc phlepm or matter is ripe, a blight cough will throw it off, aud the patient hs rest, and the lungs begin to heal. lo do thic, the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills must be freely uocd to cleanse the stomach and liver, so that the Pulmonic Sjrnp and food will make good blood. SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS Act upon the liver, removing all obstructions; relax the ducts of the gall bladder, the bile starts Ireely, aud the liver is soon relieved; the btools will show what tho pills can da; nothing has ever bocu invented except calomel (a deadly poison, which Is very dangerous to use uuless with gtcat cute) that will uulock the gallblad der and start the secretion of thc liver like Bcbenck's Mandrake Pill. Liver Complaint is one or the most rrouii. ncut Causes of Consumption. SCHENCK'S SEAWEED TONIC Is n gentle stimulant and alterative, and the alkali in the teawced, which tbis preparation Is made of, ustUU the vtomach to throff out the gastric juice to dissolve the food with th? Pal- mouic Sjrup, and it is made luto good blood without fermentation or souring the stomach. THE GREAT REASON Why physicians do nat cure Consumption K they try to do too much; they give medicines to stop the cough, to stop chills, to stop night sweat, hectic ievcr, and by so doing they ?erange the whole digestive powers, lucking up the becretions, aud evoutually the patient biuks and dies. Dr. SCHKNCK, in his treatment, dons not try to stop a cough, niabt swea'.s, chills, or fever. Remove the came, and they will all stop of their own accord. No oue chu be cured ot Consump tion, Liver Complaint, Djspep-da, Catarrh, Can ker, Ulcerated Throat, uuless the liver and stomach are made healthy. If a person has consumption, of ourse the lungs are In some way diseased, cither tuber cles, absccssce, brouchoal irrlta'ion, plueral adherion, or the lut.s are a ma?s of intlanmi tion. and fast decaying. Iu such enses what must be done? It is no", only the lungs that are wasting, but it Is the whole body. The stomach aud liver have loit their power to make blood out of food.- Now the only chance is to take Dr. SCMKNCK'3 three medicines, which will bring up a toui to the stomach, the patient will want food, It will digest easily and make good blood; then thc pttlcnt bgius to gain iu fle-h, and as soon as the body begins to giow, the lungs commence to nol up, aud tho patient gets rleny and well. Tais is the only way to cure Consumption. W11EX TIIEBE IS K0 LUSH l)lSEiSl And onli Lief Complaint and Djapepsia, rheii(L's .Seataed Tunic and Mandrake 'ills are sutficicnt, without the ' ixonic b!,rup. Take the Man drake PiUs freely in all tiVttiu.i cases, us 'theif are PERFECTLY HARMLESS. Dr. SCHENCK, who hos enjoyed unin'.er rupled health, was waited away to a mere keleton, in thc very Ul btage of Pulmouary Consumption, hi physicians having pronounced bit. caee hopeless, and abandoned hlin io bis fate. He was cured by the aforesaid medicines, nnd sinco hi recovery many thou-ands simi larly alllicted have used Dr. Schenck's prepara tions 'with tbe same remarkable success. Full directions accompany each, nihUng it not abso lutely necessary to personally see Dr. Schenck, unlet paiieuts wibh their lunjrs examined, and for tb I purpose ho U pioicsbionally at his Prin cipal OlhVo, I'HILADIXFIIIA, EYE Iff SATURDAY, Where all letters ft r a -1 vice must be addressed.
