Bow many men, from badly cured diseases, have
brought about that state of weakness that has re

most every other disease Idiocy, lunacy, paralysis,
iplnal affections, suicide, and almost every other form
of disease which humanity Is heir to, and the real
caose of the trouble scarcely ever suspected, and
have doctored for all but the right one.
These diseases require the use of a Diuretic,
aielmbold's Fluid Extract Luchu
la the great Diuretic, and a certain cure for dis
eases of the Bladder, Kidneys, Gravel, Dropsy, Or
ganic Weakness, Female Complaints, General De
bility, and all diseases, whether existing in Male or
Female, from whatever cause originating, and no
matter of how long standing.
If no treatment is submitted to, Consumption or
ynsanity may ensue. Our flesh and blood are sup
Cported from these sources, and the health and hap
piness, and that of posterity, depend upon prompt
hue of a reliable remedy.

A BATTLE IMMINENT.
Murine Hon! I Capture the Flllbrmtor on
(Jurdlnrr'it InIhuu.
From the X. V. World of to-day.
Since the capture of a largo portion of tlM filibus
tering expedition which attempted to leave this port,
about lf)(i or 2i0 stragglers who escaped have had
their rendezvous on Gardiner's Island, commanded,
it is Paid, by Colonels Kyan and Curler. It Is also
supposed that these men have held communication
with persons working In the Interest of this Cubans
on shore, and that they havo only been waiting for
an opportunity to escape ami fro to Cuba. Marshal
1 arlow, however, concluded that since the 200 fili
busters arrrsti-d had all been discharged, those re
maliiiiig on Gardiner's Island would not object to
being brought on" and disposed of In like iiuuiner.
Accordingly, on Tuesday afternoon last, ho sent
three DeputvJMarshals and twelve marines, by the
revenue culler Mahoning, to Gardiner's Island, to
bring the tlllmisters away. On arriving there they
frund upwards of 150 men, but Colonels Kyan and
Curler were not to be seen. The filibusters posl
tivelv refused to give themselves up, and the Deputy
Marshals telegraphed to (ieneral Harlow fur further
Instructions. Yesterday afternoon, (Ieneral Harlow,
acting en the authority of his commission from Pre
sidctil Grunt, empowering him to call out the mill
tary forces, ordered thirty-tight more marines from
the Brooklyn Navy Yard, making tlrty In all, who at
once proceeded to the stronghold of the filibusters
by the steamer Rocket. The Rocket Is reported to
have been seen at Gardiner's Island this morning,
but the Marshal has heard nothlngof the movements
of the men, though ho is quite anxious to ascertain
what has been going on. Unless tho filibusters) de
cided to surrender, it is quite probable thut a serious
encounter has taken place ere this.
JAPAN.
The ('bongos that are MnklnK In that Kniplrc.
A correspondent of the Allgemeine Zeitung at Na
gasaki gives some curious Information as to the
present state of atlairs In Japan. He says that
although the principal daimios have all agreed to
abdicate their power in favor of the Mikado, their
acts are not In accordance with their professions,
and it is probable that before long Japan will
again lie plunged Into a civil war as disastrous as
that which has Just terminated. Many of the
daimtos, and Satsuma In particular, are deeply In
volved in debt, notwithstanding which they continu
ally buy arms and ships in large quantities. The
real reason of the submission of the daimios was
that the princes of the south, who led the rebellion
Against the Tycoon, and eventually conquered him,
were unable to agree as to the division of the spoil,
and consequently made over the Tycoon's revenues
to the Mikado. Most of these revenues proceed from
confiscated property in the north of the Island,
where many of the daimios are secret adherents of
the Tycoon ; and the southern princes knew that If
they divided this property among themselves they
would not be able to defend It against their enemies.
As it Is, the Mikado is totally dependent on the
southern diamios, who furnish him with the funds
necessary to carry on the Government, anil any dis
putes among them are Just as likely to produce a
civil war as before.
Under the new system the Tycoon, or temporal
sovereign, Is to be abolished, and a confederation
not unlike that which formerly prevailed in Ger
many to be created, with the Mikado, or spiritual
sovereign, at its head. This arrangement, though
It promises little for the maintenance of order, has
at least one advantage for European merchants in
Japan. Instead of the two sovereigns, with powers
and responsibilities so vague that no European
could understand which of them was really re
sponsible for the due execution of treaties and the
conduct of oillciuls, there will now be a single
government" with a tangible head. Europeans
may now expect some reform in the system of
currency, which has brought on them so many
severe losses. Under the treaties of 1806 the silver
coin (boo) was to be 134 grains in weight, nine-tenths
of which were to consist of pure silver; but the
quantity of silver in the coins actually In circulation
has always been much less. The reason of this Is
that hitherto there has been no government mint,
the money having been coined under the direction
of individual daimios, who of course do not consider
themselves bound by treaties.

double the amount of Improvement is going on.

The I'rnch Crop.
The ofllciRl annual statement of the freight agents

The Chinamen.
They seem In earnest In the Mississippi Valley
about the Chinese. A company with 1,(Kmi,ik)0 capi
tal Is )irp(Ked and the coolies are to come. The
problem so long pressing for a solution must be
solved, and John Chinaman will do It. In spite of
laws and customs, he crosses the Pacific and lands
at San Francisco. First confined to the coast, he has
riushed inland, has looked upon his coppir-colored
irnther at his devotions on the Hue of the Pacific
Kailroad, and his almond eyes are familiar to the
schoolboys of the prairie villages of Kansas and
Illinois. We know his face there. But It Is as a
cigar vender, quiet, reticent, and orderly. The next
emigration that comes here will bring to us house
hold servants, and the faaiilies of New York will
tuke the pagans under their roofs, for whoso moral
growth they have sent millions of dollars abroad.
These Chinese are acknowledged to be frugal, In
dustrious, nnd skilled. They are a class of labor
that is needed, ami it is the very height and folly
of demagoguism and intolerance to oppose their
coming. A. '. Commercial.
ItnffnlocH I'niiii'-Strlcken.
A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune writes
from Sheridan, Kansas:
"Vast herds of buffalo graze along the line of the
railroad, and are frequently seen from the cars, and
not unfreqneutly so near that many are shot with
ritles In the hands of passengers while the cars are
in motion. Yesterday we saw upwards of thirty by
actual count, about a half mile oil". We also saw
several elk and antelope, and one wolf, and dined
on venison and bullnlo steak. Sometimes a large
herd has been surprised near the track by a train of
cars. The shrieking of the whistle ami the rushing
of the tram has produced such a panic of fear, that
the herd has rushed pell-mell along, in the same
direction with the train, and at almost as great,
speed, thus affording splendid opportunity for snoot
ing from the cars, ni one case the engine killed
several which were on the track. Numerous car
casses are seen of the noble animals, which have
been slaughtered and left to perish along the line of
the road, from Ellsworth to Sheridan. Sheridan has
about one thousand inhabitants, principally transient
trudebiuen and hotel and boarding-house keepers."
In the Wrong Box.
A few days since a young couple, just married at
Waterbury, Ct., got on board a train on the Nauga
tuck road, bound for Bridgeport. They had a sweet
time, billing and cooing in proper style, until the
train reached the Junction. While waiting there the
groom took a stroll on the platform, and the bride
also improved the time to walk to the forward end
of the car. As -the train started she Kturned, and
seeing her husbund, as she supposed, seated com
fortably, she popped into the same Beat, and lov
ingly rested her head on his shoulder, while the cars
passed through the covered bridge. Unfortunately
she had mistaken her man, ami, as the cars emerged
from the bridge a trembling voico whispered In her
car that he didn't quite comprehend the situation.
Looking up, the bride found an unknown blushing
ystith, while her liege lord was standing in the aisle,
with a look of blank astonishment on his face, not
knowing whut to make of "such conduct as those."
The error was coriected at once, but the fun was
too much for the other occupants of the car, and
every sleeve contained an enormous, though quiet,
luitgh.
Another Sin which ItriuliRiii .Mum Answer For.
The San Francisco Morning Call tells this story:
"A young man named Kichard W. Cooke, a native
of Iowa, was examined before the Commissioner of
Lunacy, on the charge of Insanity. During the in
vestigation the mother of the unfortunate man
stated that she was a niece of Dr. Warren, author of
'Ten Thousand a Year,' and had followed her hus
band to Illinois, thence to Iowa, and finally to Utah,
as the wandrlngs of the Mormons, to whom he had
allied himself, necessitated, in Utah they accuuiu
lated considerable property, which, as Is generally
the case in MoriiKindoin, was given to Brighain
Young for safe-keeping. Even the deeds to every
piece of real estate owned by Cooke were in some
manner or other mixed up with Brlgham Young.
"About one year ago the husband and father died, .
and then the family began to look about to see what
belonged to them ; but, turn which way they would,
they could find nothing without Brlgham Young hail
not only a claim upon it, but also a vested right In It.
After numerous Interviews, the widow and children
were informed that'all the property she believed to
lie her husband's, and which she had helped to earn,
belonged to other parties, and that she bad nothing
in the world. This Intelligence aitllcted the poor
woman sadly, but its influence upon her son was
still more sad. He became greatly excited, and it
was with the greatest exertion he could be pro
vented from seeking out those who had been instru
mental In despoiling him of his birthright, taking
the law into his own hands, and wreaklug upon
them the vengeance of an outraged and tutterlug
reason.
"So terrible did the anguish of the young man be
come, and so fearful that he would be guilty of some
tragic act did the mother become, that she gathered
together such funds as she could and went to Cali
fornia, in hopes that a change of scenery and climate
would restore him to his normal condition. She ar
rived there three weeks ago, but the change she
fondly hoped for did not tuke place. Her sou's
fierce and excited manner gave way, but not to
reason. He has been Bent to Stockton.''
(rent Conflagration.
A terrible connagratlon has been raging for the
last two weeks In All-Haluts' Parish, Horry county.
South Carolina. It broke out near the upper end of
Ocean Bay, not far from the seashore, aud has
burned over a dlstauce of nearly twenty miles. The
breadth of the tire is unknown. The country through
which it passed Is literally burned up. Swamp after
swamp has been made bare of all undergrowth, and
the trees and timber completely destroyed. The sa
vannahs, with the turpentine boxes, are made sterile
wastes. The hot, dry weather rendered it Impossi
ble to check the onward march of the flames.
It was still burning last Saturday. Twenty thou
sand turpentine boxes have been burned. Thu
earth Is left bare behind the lire. The cattle range
Is destroyed for the season; the deer unsheltered,
and the bears aud rattlesnakes made to seek a new
hiding rluce or to be destroyed by the tire. Ills
ebtlmuted that over 100,000 acres of laud havo been
burned over. At night the heavens were brilliant
from the lurid flames, aud the clouds of smoke that
arose by day were but portents of the llery storm
beneath. To this fire can lie attributed the hazy ap
pearance of the atmosphere throughout the South
east for the past week. Ciimiintali Chronicle.

Court ef Quarter Sessions Judge Pelree.
This morning the attention or the Court and jury
was engaged with the trial of the girl Anna J. Haw
kins, upon the charge of poisoning the lloir family
last month. There were seven bills of lndlctmect,
charging her with assault and battery with intent to
kill. The facts have appeared In our
local columns, and are briefly these:
The prisoner, who Is but sixteen years of
age, has been living In the family of John lloiT, No.
404 N. Eleventh street, for two years and a half,
being apprenticed as a servant. Generally she ap
peared contented with her position, but on some
occasions ghe was guilty of misconduct, which
brought upon her chastisement and threats of fur
ther punishment, arid these latter hail been made
aizalnst her just previously to this occurrence. On
the 21st of June she purchased yeas
and sifted flour, and with these bread was baked
The family ate it, and seven persons were niade vio
lently sick. The physician attending them feared
that they had taken poison, and aroused suspicion
against the prisoner. It was thought that the trouble
arose from the flour, aud the gentlemen from
whom It was bought were questioned, but declared
that It was free from poison, none of the
other numerous customers who had used it being at
all affected. Finally, when Mrs. Holt" recovered
she Interrogated the prisoner, who, in a penitential
manner, confessed that sho had put arsenic into the
bread, and was very sorry she had done so. At first
she said she did not have any motive for the act, but
subsequently, that It was because punishment had
been threatened against her.
Keyond this confession, no direct proof of the
actual presence of poison in the bread was otl'ered,
there belug no witness who had made an examina
tion of It; and this circumstance, together with tho
question of intent, was argued by tte prisoner's
counsel in favor of tier acquittal. No testimony was
ottered by the defense. Jury out.
MINUS A WIFE. 41
The Troubles nnd Trials of a Plillndelidiiiin.
'Vow the Harttrrd Cottrant, July 1(5.
A Philadelphia married man, who has a young and
pretty wife, of whom he became considerably
jealous, started her oil last week with her ouly child
to visit her grandparents, who reside In tho eastern
part of Connecticut, (she has an aunt living in this
city, and stopped here to visit a day or two before
repairing to tho calm, secluded spot which her hus
band had designed for her. On the day follow
ing her arrival she made the acquaintance
of a travelling merchant, who had lrieuds
living where the aunt resides, aud
intimate relations, from some cause or other, sprung
up, which have led to the enactment of a scenu
not set down in tne original bills. On Friday she
started, as her aunt supposed, for Norwich, on the 2
P. M. train ; but at the same time that she was pro
paring to take a carriage to the depot, the travelling
chap was paying his bill at the United (States Hotul
lu oi der to meet her elsewhere. It was subsequently
ascertained that they did go otr on the Lastern
train, but np to Suturday night there had been no
arrival at tho domicile of the grand parents in East
tern Connecticut, and the suppoa tion is that uu
elopement la bwlng pretty extensively carried out on
a short acquaintance. What the Philadelphia hus
band will do about it Isn't certain; at any rale, he
may console himself with the reflection that If he
had kept his wife at home, she wouldn't have be
haved any worse than she has now.
DAK HOBBEKS.
An Ingenious Attempt to It oh a National nank
in Mew York.
This special despatch from Sandy Hill, N. Y., yev
terday, Is published In the New Yoik rimes ol to
day '1 he attenit to rob the First National Bank of this
place, on Wednesday night, was second only In
point, of completeness of preparation to the great
Ocean Bank robbery In New York. The robbers
were foiled only because of the time required t g.t
Into the vault, ami by the too free use of gunpow
der. They succeeded lu blowing the safe optti, but
were driven away, having aroused people by the
noise of the explosion, with only a few hundred dol
lars in revenue stamps as their entire booty. The
explosion Insido the vault set some of the papers on
fire, but the books and vouchers were saved, ami
the bank is In sound condition. The burglars loft a
lage collection of fine tools.
LI iirtber Particulars of the nurxlury.
From the Troy Time, July 10.
We yesterday made a brief annonnenmeut of tho
ntiacK made upon the vault of the First National
Bunk at Handy Hill by burglars on the previom
night, and now. through the kindness of Mr.
Lewis, of the firm of Lewis A bterluu, of this
city, are aide to lay the full particuiais of tho
iiitiiniienuii oeiore our readers. .Mr. Lewis was
sent for by telegraph yesterday morning to go
up ami look over the wreck, with the view to
r paiting the bank vault, and returned to tho
cliy this morning. The burglars were six or eight
sttong. They entered the bank by means of false
keys, and commenced operations probably about
midnight. About 3 o'clock A. M. a family living in
a house adjoining the bank were awakened by the
explosion of the vault, and saw a man standing upon
the sidewalk. The hotel keeper was also aroused,
but supposed the report wus caused by a clap of
thunder or a stroke of light ning. The family were
too much frightened to give the alnri, and permitted
the burglars to continue their operations u ndisturlicd.
The first report arose from the explosion caused
by blowing open the vault doors. Tho vault
was built of stone. The burglars dug out the
top wall, and, filling the aperture with powder,
tuiched It otr The doors were blown oil', and fell
upon the floor. The safe one of Bacon's steel safes
stdl remained to be opened before the rascals could
realize the fruits of their toll. Wedges were forced
between the doors, nnd a charge of powder In
serted. The explosion tore out the whole front of
the safe, scattering the books and papers about the
vault. The family first alarmed now managed to
limner up enough courage to rattle the window
blinds, and the man on watch outside blew a blast
of alarm on a horn which he carried, which
brought his companions out of the building
on Hie double quick. The night was very dark,
and the people In tho house could not distinguish
the clothes or features of the robbers. Seeing the
numbers of the burglars, they were now more fright
ened than ever, aud dared not venture from the
house. (So no alurm was given niitti about half an
hour afterward, when Patrick Kelly, who was going
home after a night's debauch, staggered along past
the bank, saw the broken windows in the building
nnd a tire burning within, and ran down to the
hotel and aroused t ho Inmates, Coon entering tho
bank it was found that the ignited powder had set
lire to the books aud papers of tne Institution, and a
large opening had been burned in the Hour. The
tire wus extinguished, ami an Investigation made
of the extent of the night's operations.
The vault and safe were found blown
open as described, the building was much shattered
and the windows blown out; but the inner safe con
taining the money of the bank was still Intact con
sequently the burglars had secured nothing for their
labor. Half an hour more of undisturbed occupation
of the premise, and they would have cleaned the
Institution entirely out; but some frightened woman
rattling on tho blinds scared away six or eight
armed villains, bent upon the commission of a great
crime. Such is the fear of the law aud b s conse
quences. It seems the burglars had first tried to open
the vault by placing un indicator under the dial to
steal the combination, for upon taking tho dial otr
yesterday, Mr. Lewis discovered the presence of the
tell-tale. But this plan did not work, and the other
expedient of blowing the doors otr was resorted to.
This is the fourth attempt that has been made within
a few years to enter the Sundy Hill banks, and like
all the previous ones, It proved unsuccessful, so far,
at least, as reaching tho funds of tho Institution.
This time, however, they came nearer to It than ever
before, and the frightened women and Pat Kelly
deserve to be liberally rewarded by the bank folks.

The uncomfortable closeness which has charac
terized our local nionsy market during the present
month Is gradually passing away. The demand for
money continues active, with occasional pressure,
but business men seem to procure all they want from
one source or other, provided they are -disposed to
submit to the severe exactions of the street lenders.
The currency temporarily withdrawn from our
market is beginning to return somewhat freely, so
that the difficulty of obtaining funds at any price no
longer exists, but the rates continue very firm con
sidering the condition of the market, which Is owing
to the activity prevailing on the stock board.
Call loans are firm and active at 7 per cent and
discounts at ttia'll per cent, for Urst-cluss business
paper.
The Gold market opened weak to-day at 135V, and
was quoted at Whvlun Brothers' at noon at 135.V.
In Government loans the transactions are small
and no change in prices quoted at the close of yes
terday. The Stock market wai dull, with very little change
lu prices. State loans were quiet at quotations.
City Blxes were firm at 94 for the old and XWJi for
the new.
Reading Railroad was quiet at 467i, a decline of
'. Pennsylvania Railroad sold at 66Ji ; Mlnehlll at
53i ; Lehigh Vallev Railroad at 50',', no change. 43
was bid for Little Schuylkill ; 87' for Catawlssa pre

In Canal stocks tho only sales wore of Lehigh
Navigation at 60, with 21 ' bid for fchuylkill Naviga
tion preferred, and 10 for the common.
In Bank, Coal, and Passenger Railway shares there
were no transactions worthy of notice, and prices
remain without any quotable change.

NEW YORK MONEY MARKET.
The following extracts show the state of the
York money market yesterday : w
From tht Herald.
"There was an uneasy, yet undefined feeling per
vading the street to-day, and the markets were gene
rally heavy and sluggish. The almost intolerable
best had a great deal to do In repressing animation
find the usually busy sidewalks on Broad street, III
front of the Slock Kxchnnge, were deserted, 7 as
though they formed a portion of a desert. In the
itiiiblay sun It was not illtllcult to fancy them pos
sessed of Siiharun qualities. Among stock operators
there v ss a reactionary feeling after the enthusiasm
that carried up the Vanderldlt shares so wonderfully
luring the past live days, and tne 'bears' who had
pluck enough to sell were stlil rather indlltVrent
nbuut 'short' transactions. I'he action of the Grand
Jury ami the arrest, of m.iii.v prominent bankers and
brokers on the charge of usury added to the drooping
tendency of the market, although ordlmi'lly such a
guanniteee against stringent money would have led
to a 'bull' movement. In this Instance, however, the
money lenders, or In other words the capitalists, seem
determined that thev shall Inve control of the market
despite the laws. To punish the 'bulls' who brought
about these legal proceedings there is a movement
to increase the margins In loans on stock collaterals
and so lean to great activity in money and a decline.
There whs great preference shown yesterday
for Governments tis collaterals, and money, with
their pledge as security, was freely loaned at
6 per cent. In miscellaneous collaterals there was
active demand, even up to three o'clock, at the full
legal rate. Much of the uneasiness late In the day
was due to a rumor that the Secretary of the
Ticasury Intended selling ten millions of gold In ad
dition to his semi-monthly sales. The effect of this
report was quite direct upon the price of gold, which
fell to 130,- Hiiont four o'clock. Foreign exchange
was firm at the rates previously quoted, with a mode
rctenmni'iit of business for "to-morrow's steamer.
