rniLA DELrniA manufa utvr as.
Wi published some weeks Ago an official state
ment from the oensns of 1870, giving an ex
hibit of the manufactures of the city of Phila
delphia, it being a synopsis famished to lion.
William D. Kelley by the Superintendent of
the Oensns. The aggregates furnished in
this exhibit, although large, disappointed
publio expectation; and we leara that an in
spection of the lists by parties familiar with
the industrial interests of the oity
demonstrates the fact that they
are grossly and deplorably in
perfect. Ilundreds of manufacturing esta
blishments in this city were not reported at
all in the original return; some of the most im
portant J. B. Lippinoott & Co.'s publishing
bouse, EJ. S.White's manufactory of materials
used by dentists, and Bailey & Co.'s jewelry
establishment, for instance being entirely
omitted. Marshal Gregory and his negli
gent and grossly inefficient depu
ties displayed even greater carelessness
in making up their returns of the manufac
tures of Philadelphia than in their returns of
the population of this city. While we have
been pluming ourselves upon the wonderful
extent and variety of our manufacturing in
dustries, the census-takers have been more
careless here in their collection of mannf a
taring statistics than in any portion of the
United States. We understand that steps
bave been .taken to correct the grossly inac
curate returns originally sent to the National
Superintendent of the Census, and we trust
that approximate justice will still be done. But
Philadelphia will necessarily suffer to some
extent in reputation through the inaccuraoies
and negligence of the assistant marshals 'and
the inability or indisposition of Marshal Ore
gory to properly perform the duty with which
be was intrusted. If he had been familiar
with the industries of Philadelphia, or if he
bad been desirous of presenting them fairly
and fully to the world, he would never have
Bent to Washington the shamefully imperfect
original returns of the manufactures of Phila
delphia which are a libel on the word statis
tics, and which, instead of enlightening Con
gress and the country, only tend to mislead,
and to plaoe this city in a false position.
A BAD PIECE OF BUNKUM.
Genebal Buvleb yesterday introduced a
joint resolution in the House of Representa
tives, requesting the President to cause to be
submitted to the Joint High Commission the
claims of American citizens for damages and
losses suffered on account of imprisonment,
without due process of law or trial, in British
prisons for supposed complicity with the
Fenian cause in Ireland. As bosh or bunkum
this resolution reflects credit upon the inven
tive genius of its author. It will probably
serve to give him several Irish votes
In his next canvass for Congress, and in some
contingencies it may even help to make him
an available candidate for a higher posi
tion. ' But nobody knows better than Gene
ral Butler that his resolution is at once ridicu
lous and mischievous ridiculous, beoause it
is folly to ask a foreign nation to pay damages
to men who have beoome implicated in rebel
lious movements; and mischievous, beoause
the serious presentation of such a demand
would exercise a deleterious influence at a
time when there is a reasonable prospect that
the Joint ' High Commission may devise a
method of settling all disputed questions of
real importance which are pending between
the United States and Great Britain.
v: eon. a. a', cattell.
The correspondence between Hon. A. G.
Cattell, of New Jersey, and a number of gen
tlemen representing some of the most im
portant business interests of Philadelphia,
which will be found on our third page, will
be read with interest. Mr. Cattell, on the
plea of Ill-health, deolines a complimentary
banquet tendered to him as an expression of
approbation and good-will for his earnest
and able advooaoy of judioious legislation
daring his Senatorial career, as well as per
sonal regard. Mr. Cattell deserved sach a
compliment as this, in addition to that ex
tended to him in the resolution of Councils
passed some weeks ago, for there was no
more faithful advocate of the interests of
Philadelphia and Pennsylvania in Congress,
and it was largely due to his exertions that
the League Island appropriation was passed,
whioh will enable the work of
preparing that place for the
purposes of a great naval depot to be com
menced. As Mr. Cattell states in his letter,
the interests of Pennsylvania and New Jersey
are in many particulars identical, and that
in the establishment of a national naval
depot at League Island his own constituents
will be immediately benefited, so that while
be has labored for the good of Philadelphia
and Pennsylvania, he has not negleoted New
Jersey. Independently of the League Island
appropriation and other matters of immediate
Interest to Philadelphians, the Senatorial
career of Mr. Cattell was so entirely creditable
to him, that it is a matter for serious regret
that he was compelled to decline a re-eleotion
and to withdraw from pnblio life. Pure
minded, able, and disinterested men like the
New Jersey ex-Senator are not so abundant
la our national couaoils that we can afford
to lose them, and it is sincerely to be hoped
that the retirement of Mr. Cattell will be
beneficial to hia health, and that with rest
from public cares will come complete restora
tion. THE AMNESTY BILL.
The question of general amnesty may be con
sidered settled so far as the present session
of Congress is concerned, the Republican
Senators havingf at a cauous held yesterday,
determined not to take it np. The chief
opponents of the bill were Senators Chan
dler, Morton, Scott, and Edmunds, and as
these gentlemen are the President's chief
Fenatorial backers, it U not unfair to presume
that the aotion of the cauoui was inspired
from the White Home. Indeed, there is no
doubt upon this point, for Senator Chandler
expressly said that the President had given it
as his opinion that it would be better to post
pone amnesty for the present. The principal
argument against it was advanced by Mr.
Morton, who contended that the passage of an
amnesty bill at this time would look like an
apology for the Ku-klui bill, which it may be
opined is the President's view of the matter.
The caucus indioated that there is a strong
party in the Senate favorable to a general
amnesty, and if the President had wielded
his inflaenoe in that direction, we do not
doubt that the bill would have been taken up
and passed by a large majority without farther
delay. What the President's real reasons are
for opposing the amnesty bill at this time we
are unable clearly to understand, and while,
we do not doubt that he is animated by a
desire to do his duty, we believe that he has
made a great personal as well as political mis
take. A liberal amnesty measure is demanded
at the present time for the purpose of pacify
ing the South and of neutralizing some of the
influences of the Eu-klux bill. It is true
that some persons in the South would
consider it an apology for the
Ku-klux bill, but a large . majority
of the most influential olasses would have ac
cepted it at its real value, as an indication of
an earnest desire on the part of the Govern
ment to complete the work of reconstruction
in a manner satisfactory to the people of the
South, tnd to obliterate as far as possible the
bad feelings engendered by the war. It would
have prevented the intelligent and eduoatod
classes of the South from esteeming the Ku
klux bill as a mere repressive political mea
sure aimed at them with a view of preventing
them from acting against the Republican
party; and so far from interfering with
the operations of the .Ku-klux bill,
it would have made it et&ier to enforce it.
So far as the President himself is concerned,
an earnest "advocacy of a general amnesty
measure would have certainly inoreased his
popularity in the South, and, we believe, in
the North also, and would have greatly
smoothed the way for his re-election. It i
scarcely possible that the President has not
been able to see the matter in this light, and
his present course may therefore be consi
dered as a proof of his disinterestedness.
Although disinterested, he is none the loss
mistaken; and while the passage of the Ku
klux bill is of doubtful expediency under any
circumstances, it will be a blunder ef the
most serious character unless it is accom
panied by general amnesty.
COLONEL W. T. FORBES.
We have received from a former employe in
in the pension agency, presided over by
Colonel W. T. Forbes a defense of that gen
tleman, which is very satisfactory so far as it
goes. The trouble is, however, that it does
not go far enough, but stops short just where
a real defense, if any were possible, ought to
begin. Our correspondent bears
testimony to the affable and
polite deportment of Colonel Forbes, and in
forms ns that, more than any other agent in
the country, past or present, he has simpli
fied and expedited the payment of pensions,
with a saving of from $5 to $12 per annum
to the pensioners; that he has rescued pen
sioners from the hands of agents, and lawyers,
and country justices who extorted dollars
where cents were only due for collecting pen
sions; that he has been instrumental in intro
ducing great and good improvements in the
method of the payment of pensions, and that
in various ways he has aoted in the interests
of both the Government and the pensioners.
In conclusion, our correspodent remarks that
"as to the great scandal against Colonel
Forbes, in the trial of his clerk for embez
zling, there are two opinions, and that much
could be said." As this new defender of
Colonel Forbes, however, refrains from
saying anything npon the most im
portant point of all, we are foroed
to rely exclusively upon the evidence
already in our possession, and this is not
favorable to either Colonel Forbes or the
retiring Commissioner of Pensions, Dr. Van
Aernam. That the clerk alluded to was
guilty we do not doubt, but we do not doubt
either that he was made the scapegoat for the
sins of his official superiors. Colonel Forbes
has admitted that he loaned money to
pensioners npon their claims at usurious
rates, and the evidence upon the trial of
the clerk aforesaid demonstrated that this
and other illegal practioes were common
occurrences in the office, and that it was im
possible that Colonel Forbes could be the
injured innocent his friends would represent
him. We repeat now what we said on Satur
day, that the conduct of Colonel Forbes was
whitewashed by Dr. Van Aernam, who was
in possession of evidence against him that
would have ensured his prompt removal if
the Pension Bureau itself had not been cor
rupt. In faot, so notorious had the
whole pension agency system beoome that
Congress, in spite of the pressure brought to
bear by the Pension Bureau "ring," was com
pelled to make some attempt at reform and
to surround the pensioners with greater safe
guards, and we are confident that the Forbes
scandal had as much to do with causing this at
tempt at reform as any other influence. In
this rather back-handed way, it is true that
Colonel Forbes may have been instrumental
in benefitting the pensioners; but we are un
able 'for that reason to understand why he
should not have been turned out of office
long ago, or why the new Commissioner of
Pensions should not do hia obvious duty in
the matter, and appoint an agent who is
above reproach to succeed him.
The coal miners and operators of the Le
high and Schuylkill districts have now repre
sentatives in session at Mauoh Chunk, who
have appointed am umpire, and they seem to
be in a fair way of settling amicably their dis
putes. The miners and coal-mining and coal
transporting companies of the Wyoming dis
trict, however, da not seem to participate in
the Mauch Chunk movement, and any basis
of settlement it may agree upon will not, ap
parently, apply to the Wyoming or Laoka
wanna region. The rivalry between the old
and new districts, whioh are now abont equal
in their productive power, will therefore pro
bably continue to generate a long series of
future conflicts.
THE FINK ARTS.
Prang's Chromon.
Messrs. James E. Earle A Sons have recently re
ceived two very pleasing specimens ot the work of
the well-known chromo publishers, L. rrang A Co.,
which are worthy of the attention of art lovers.
One of these Is a copy frsm a picture by Mr. James
M. Hart, of New York, and ta entitled "The Storm Is
Coming." It represents a group of cattle la a
meadow preparing to seek shelter from a coming
storm, which blackens the sky In the distance. The
foreground Is Illuminated by a ray of sunlight, and
the contrast of light and shade Is at once effective In
treatment and poetical In sentiment. Mr. II art is
one of the most poetical of our landscape painters,
and this picture, which has been admirably repro
duced In the chromo, is an excellent specimen of
bis style. The chromo itseir is one of the best that
Messrs. rrang A Co. have yet Issued, and it will
make a handsome ornament to any parlor wall.
Another Interesting ehromo Is a memorial of
Charles Dickens, a fac-slmlle of whose autograph
Is surrounded by holly-leaves, winter berries, and
ferns Intertwined with the motto, '-Lord, Keep My
Memory Green." This work will be appreciated by
the admirers ef the great novelist.

The Keystone Vapor Fuel company Is the title
of a business association lately formed for the Intro
duction of an Invention looking to a new and radical
change In the method or generating steam In boilers.
By this Invention great safety Is attained In connec
tion with a utilization of steam, space, weight, and
fueL In addition, some of the other advantages of
the Invention are the Insurance of cleanliness, the
aboence of all destructive elements oa the iron of
boilers, uniformity of distribution of heat through
out the entire fire surface of furnace, flues, and
tabes ; facility of raising steam ; the entire stoppage
of expense for fuel when the work of the engine Is
done for the time; dispensing with four-flfths the
labor appertaining to handling of coal ; exemption
from waste la residuum ; no ashes, cinder, slag, or
other Imparities whatever; no deposit of solid Wed
carbon, to stop np pipes, as by direct consumption of
petroleum, which article is made use ef Indirectly
by this method.
The safety of the invention la guaranteed by ex-
peits and underwriters, and Is placed beyond a
doubt by the alacrity to take risks by the Insurance
companies where this fuel Is used. There is actu
ally no greater danger attending the use of the
Vapor Fuel than that which attends the Hse of 111a
utaatlng gas In dwellnlgs. The gain of uniform
power from the same boiler, for the same engine, Is
CO per cent. This fact Is corroborated by statistics
furnished by Messrs. Birrows, Savery 4 Co., corner
Reed and Front streets, Philadelphia, who have
beea running the whole machinery of their Immense
foundry with this fuel for the past ten months.
According to their statement, the power of the
foundry is now run with oil at an expense of from
f 8 to f 10 per day, and .400 cubic feet of water are
evaporated. With coal the cost would be 110-80 per
day, and only 200 cublo feet of water could be
evaporated.
The Invention was thoroughly tested at the work
shops or; the great Illinois Central Railway at Chi
cago, to run which two boilers of 240 horse-power
were formerly necessary. By the introduction of
the Vapor Fuel Machine the works are now ran with
only one of the same boilers, the use of the other
being unnecessary for the po wer required. Oapt L. S.

SIMPLE ACCOUNT
OF TBI DISCOVERY AND WONDBBFOT. KFFBCT9 OF DR.
SCHKKCK'8 ORIAT PULMONIC BKMSDIB3.
If a man were asked why he insured his life, the
question would be regarded as a very simple one
and scarcely requiring an answer, for the reason
that the advantages of life Insurance are so univer
sally admitted that to doubt its utility would be to
fly in the very face of reason and common sense.
Now, while we And so many persons not only willing.
but anxious, to make provision for the family or
friends who are D be left behind, how many thou
sands there are who are culpably neglectful of their
own health, and who, In some instances, for the
sake of saving the outlay of a few dollars, and
others from positive Indifference, permit their a f 1
to be prematurely destroyed 1
If consumption were not a disease as Insidious
It Is fatal, and if It were, as la asserted by the med.
cal faculty generally, incurable, there would be aa
apology for consumptives whs, day after day ill
year after year, refuse to heed the warning given by
a hacking cough, a hectlo cheek, cold and clammy
night-sweats, and other distressing symptoms
which are the almost certain forerunners of deep
seated pulmonary disease, and which, when tho
roughly ingrafted into the system, can be removed
only by the use of special remedies and the observ
ance of precautions the very opposite of those usu
ally given by physicians.
Many years ago these thoughts suggested them
selves to the mind of Dr. Joskph ii. Schknck, now
of Philadelphia, but at the time of wh ch we speak
a resident of New Jersey. Hiaself a con armed
consumptive, and with little or no hope of recovery
but with sufficient love of life to prompt him to
make an effort to live, he patiently ana thoughtfully
applied himself to the scientific study of the disease
which was bilently, but nevertheless surely, bearing
him to the grave.
TBI BUST MKDICAL
attendance had been secured. Remedy after remedy
was prescribed, but all In vain. The ruthless disease
continued ltd fast hold upon him, and he was sent
to Moorestown, N. J., to die. The last vestige ot
hope had faded away. His friends, who from time
time visited him, bade him farewell, never again ex
pecting to see him alive. Bat Dr. Schenok, 111 as hs
was, and hopeless as Bcmed his caae, did not yield
to despair. Weak and prostrated, and phys'cally
unable even to walk across the room, his mind
was still active, lie believed that God had not sent
diseases .
1 WITHOUT FROVIDINO REMBDIK9,
and, through friends and visitors, continued to make
unceasing inquiries for certain herbs and roots, the
virtues of which he understood had been satisfac
torily proved in cases of pulmonary disease. Ills
patience and perseverance were at length rewarded.
The long-songht
SERBS AND ROOTS WERE OBTAINED.
The preparations of these were crude and simple,
but their healing qualities were present notwith
standing. He took them regularly, adopted a sys
tem of plain but nutritious diel.remalned In h's cham
ber, avoided draughts of cold air, exercised within
doors to as great an extent as his impaired strength
would allow, and in a little while a crtinge for the
better was perceptible. The tough mucus that
clogged the lungs and bronchial tabes was now
freely and easily expectorated.
APPETITE RETURNED,
and with It came strength of body and cheerfulness
of mind. Cough, fever, night sweats, and pains
began to leave him. Friends beheld the change
with amazement ; his wasted limbs regained their
former rotundity, his step became elastic and firm,
and the happy result was that he
WAS RESTORED TO PERFECT HEALTH,
and is to-day a man advanced In years, but hale,
hearty, and strong, and weighing over two hundred
and twenty-five pounds. Deeply Impressed with the
wonderful enre that had been wrought, and thankful
for his narrow escape from certain death, he re
solved to apply himself to the study of medicine,
and devote the remainder of his days, to efforts to
alleviate the sufferings of his fellow-creatures. As
would be natural, his principal attention was directed
to the subject of Pulmonary Diseases. The most
eminent physicians in the country had assured him
inu .
CONSUMPTION COULD NOT BE CUBED,
and that he, being a consumptive, must die t But
there he was, a living, breathing refutation of the
assertions of these learned men. He that was given
np as the hopelr sb victim of the most dreaded of all
diseases stood np before the world
A BTOUr, 8TKONG MAN,
and such he is to-day, though thirty-five years have
elapsed since his miraculous restoration to health.
The-sjiedlclnes that cured me will certainly cure
others. Why should not others be rescued from a
premature grave as I have been T Why should not
the healing virtues of roots and herbs that saved
my life save the lives of thousands of my fellow
belngfCwho are the victims of consumption T" Thus
reasoned Dr. Schenck as he applied himself to the
preparation of his great remedies. After years of
experiment he succeeded In perfecting hia
PULMONIC 8TRCF
In a form so attractive and so palatable to the taste
that patients take It regularly for a long period with
out becoming nauseated by it. Hearing of his re
markable enre, hundreds and thousands of patients
flocked to him for advice and medicine. These were
Supplied, and to-day there are many healthy men
and women living who owe their health and strength
wholly to
DR. SCHENCK '8 MEDICINES.
Not content with a single medlolne, Dr. Schenck
applied the valuable knowledge he had gamed to
the preparation of others. It became necessary that
the Pulmonic Syrup should have an assistant In Its
great work of restoring the system. While it drove
out the impurities, new and good blood was want
ing. This could be secured only by maintaining the
digestive organs In perfect condition. To accom
plish this,
AN ACTIVE LIVER
was essential. With this important organ In a tor
pid state, healthful digestion was impossible, and
without healthful digestion there could be no pure
blood. Hence it was that Dr. Schenck experimented
with his now
" FAMOUS MANDRAKE PILLS.
The experiments were satisfactory. He found
that they exercised an almost magical influence
upon the liver and stomacn. The former being
stimulated to healthful activity, its secretions were
promoted. The bile and diseased slime which accu
mulated In the stomach, and rendered its functions
inoperative, were removed by the use of the Man
drake Pills; the appetite was Increased ; the food
taken was properly assimilated, good blood was
created in consequence, and the result a total
BANISHMENT OF DI8BA8E.
AH that was now needed was a tonic that would
give nerve and energy to the still weak but perfectly
cured consumptive. The system was entirely
healthy, but flesn was wanted for the limbs, and
strength to carry it. Acting silently but powerfully
In conjunction with the Pulmonic Syrup and the
Mandrake Pills,
TBI SEAWEED TONIC
fulfilled its great mission. Being an alkali, it
speedily corrected any acidity of the stomach. It
imparted tone and vigor to the entire system. It
tilted the restored patient for a resumption of his
ordinary business duties, and put the capstone
upon the great remedial structure which Dr.
Schenck, after years of painful personal experience
and patient scientific effort, had reared for the bene
fit of the human race.
ONE THING YET REMAINED
to be done. While this great work of restoration
was In progress Dr. Schenck was thoroughly con
vinced that exposure to draughts ot cold air to the
reugh, rasping winds of early spring and late fall, or
to the chilling blasts of winter, were almost certain
death to the patient. Hence it was that he adopted
the plan of having his patients remain in their apart
ments, and taking all needful exercise there, until
the diseased lungs were
PERFECTLY HEALED,
and what is called "pure fresh air" could be borne
by them without the danger of provoking a return
of the dreaded disease. The system baa worked
like a chsrm. 'i'be bold assertion of the medical
faculty that consumption cannot be cured has been
completely refuted, and Dr. Schenck s great
remedies bave triumphed over all opposing
elejuents.
During the thirty-four years of Dr. Sohenck's very
extended practice, be has frequently examined five
hundred patients a week In the cities of Boston.
New York, and Philadelphia. Being well advanced
in years, bis professional visits to other cities have
been discontinued, though he still continues to give
his personal attention to the examination of patients
at his principal oitloe in Philadelphia, being assisted
In bis arduous duties by his son, Dr. JOSEPH H.
SCHENCK, Jr., who is a regular graduate of Jef
ferson Medical College, and is In every way quali
