IMPOllTANT TO ALL.
r)."R. SWAYNB,
Tho discoverer and compounder ot tho far-famed
Compound Syrup of Wild Chorry
and other vnluablo preparations, entered upon his
professional career with the Important ntlvantngo of
a regular medical education In ono ot tho oldest and
best schools In Philadelphia, and, perhaps. In tho
world. Ho subsequently serv etl n fatlhtul term of
practice In the l'hll.idelplila Dispensary, nnd for ma
ny jears attended In tho Hospital. In these Institu
tions he enjoyed tho most ample opportunities of ob
taining nn insight Into diseases In nil their various
forms, ns well ns for ascertaining tho best methods
ot the! treatment. In otlerlng, therefore, to tho peo
ple ot tho United states the fruits of his extensive
professional experience In tho medical compounds ns
tho best results of his skill nnd observation, ho feels
that ho Is but protTetltig a hoon to every fnml y
thronghottt tho land, resting, ns ho does, eontldently
In tho merits and cfllcatlous Mituoof tho remedies
ho herewith commends. Tho vast amount or testl

It Is admitted by our most eminent physicians, nnd
allwhohavo witnessed Its n underfill healing prop
erties. Tho WILD CHEHIt in till ages ct tho wont!
and In all countries w hero It Is known has been Just
ly celebrateo for Its wonderful medicinal iiuauiles,
but Its great power tocuru some of tho worst nntl
most distressing diseases among us was never fully
ascertained until tho experiments ot that skllfull
physician, Dr. swavue, had demonstrated Us high
adaptation. In combination with Pine Tree Tar, and
other equally valuable vegetable Ingredients, whh.li
chemically combined renders It action tenfold more
certain nnd bencnclal In curing all diseases of the
throat, breast nml lungs, lilt. sWAYNE'S -VILD

I'RINCK AND JHWKIiEIi.
BY ,M. PASQUIER.
A jeweler of Paris one tiny saw a splendid
equipage, drive tip to his door, and a tall,
important-lookine; gentleman alighted from
it. lie wanted n lady's set of dinniond orna
ments, a complete wedding parurc. Tho
price was fixed nt two hundred thousand
francs. Several designs were shown to him.
Ho made choice of one, said ho could grant
but little timo for executing tlio order, and
insisted on leaving with tho jewolera deposit
of four thousand francs in billed ik banrjue.
Ho also selected a ring, worth a hundred and
twenty francs,and ordered it to bo sent homo
next day ; and five days after, tho whole set
nf diamonds was to bo completed. Accord
ingly, on the following day, a confdmtial
messenger from the jew eler's repaired to tho
Hotel 1) , in thoKiio tie la l'aix, and in
quired for Prince Gargarin. Ho was shown
into an apaitnicnt on the first story. Vivo
or six lackeys wero in tlieantcchaiuber. Tlio
I'rinco took the ring, paid for it, nnd gave a
present ot ten francs lo the messenger, who
joyfully relumed home, and congratulated
his master on having so wealthy and liberal
a customer.
The jeweler, with tho utmost punctuality,
earned homo tho diamonds on tho day ap
pointed. The Prince was in his study, sit
ting before his cylindrical secretaire, which
was open. The jeweicr handed the casket to
him, nml Ins highness minutely inspected
the jew els; suddenly one of the valets entered
the loom, and announced "Princo Dolgo
luuki."
"Ah ! my noble biother-in-law!" exclaim
ed his highness. "I do not wish hinitosee
the present which I destine for his bister.
Puquest him to stay lu tho drawing-room,
and I will come to him immediately," He
touched the tidilo, the cylinder moved and
Nie sictclairo closiil. llio tlumonili wero
iu it : but on tho tuble there lay an open box
Idled wilh leather bag", nnd numerous rou
leaux of lniils were huddled together in con
fusion. The jeweler hail obscivcd nil this
trcasiite on his (list arrival ; but his attention
was particularly attracted by a largo ltinia
leather portfolio, well lined with bilUh ile
liawjite, the edges of which wero visible.
His highness lull tlio looin.sayingha would
return very bluntly. Tho jeweicr begged ho
wnuld not hurry himself. About twenty
minutes elapsed, nml n soit of vague appro-
hensinn began in assail tlio jeweler. At
length the door opened. Oh, here is his
highness, thought he. Hut no, it was tlio
muster of the hotel, who stepping up to tho
jeweler, said ;
" Aro you waiting for anybody ?"
'I am waiting fur tlio return of Princo
(jargarin, to whom I havo just sold a set of
diamonds for two hundred thousand francs.
Aro you his secretary 1"
"1 tun liU dupe, and so I presiimo you
are.'
"What do you mean? his dupo ? Im
possiblo I Tho jewels aro shut up in tho
secretaire, llcsidcs, look at all this
money."
He seized ono of tho leather bags, nnd
opening it, discovered, to his horror, that it
was filled with nulls; tlio rouleaux contained
nothing, nnd tho portfolio, scraps of wasto
paper, However, tho jowoler consoled him
self tho diamonds wero still safe, A lock
smith was sent for; the secretaire was opened
nnd oh, horror I It was empty, It stood ou
ono eldo of tho room, against a wall lu which
u holo had been made, ami, thero being a
corresponding holo in tho back of tho
secretaire, tlio jewels had, with perfect caso,
been conveyed Into tho adjoining apart
nient.
Tho despair of tho unfortunate jeweler
may bo easily Imagined, The master of tho
hotel, too, who had let his apartments to tho
pretended Princo Gurgurin, had been ox
tcnslvely swindled, Tho servants all be
longed to tlio hotel, with tho exception of tho
i i. .. .i. -
Ivuict iMwnvtCf nnu vvus iuo companion
imd confederate of tho Piiuco.
It was ascertained that they had decamp
ed In a conch lrom tho door of tho hotel.
Kvcry excrison was m.ido totraco them out,
but several years elapsed boforo, they wero
discovered.
The jeweler, who was nearly ruined by
this robbery, removed to another quarter of
Paris, nnd established himself under n new
name. One day n messenger called on htm
from M, T , a gentleman holding an
official situation, who was very ill, nnd
wished to purchase somo rings. Tho poor
jeweler had naturally become suspicious over
sinco his fatal ndventuro with Gargarin ; and
instead of sending his shopman, he took tho
rings himself. Ho was shown Into a bed
chamber which was partially lighted j owing
to tho situation of tho windows, tho room
was all In shade, except whero tho bed stood.
What was tho surprise of tho jowelcr when
ho discovered, in the invalid M. T , tho
swindler who had somo years previously do
frnuded him in tho assumed character of tho
Russian Piinco Gargarin I For a few mo
ments ho was struck dumb witii amazement.
Hojvover, ho recovered himself, and deem
ingtit prudent not to betray tho discovery ho
had made, ho displayed his ringi ; several
were solcctcd, and their prico amounted to
about six thousand francs. '
'!It is a largo sum bf money for a poor,
ruined man," said Jl, T , "I have not
ready cash enough to settle tho wholo amount
nnd I shall feel obliged if you will tako in
payment this curious old snuff-box, which is
of great value."
Ho asked for his dressing-case,and opening
it, took out an octagon-shaped snuff-box,
ornamented with ten miniatures by Clinch-
steil, set in gold and rubies. It was perfect
ly uniquo and of inestimable value. Tho
snuff-box which 51. T presented to him
was ono which had been stolen from him a
few days before tho robbery of his diamonds.
Tho box was too remarkable to admit of the
possibility of mistake. liesides, it had a
secret spring, bv means of which all the
miniatures could be taken out of their set
tings ; and ou tho reverses wero painted
similar subjects, but treated in tho stylo of
indelicacy peculiar to the age of Louis XV.
This circumstance was Important in proof of
his claim to the possession of the box. When
Jl. T asked him to set a value on it he
said without hesitation :
"I consider it worth moro than fifty thou
sand francs."
"Fifty thousand francs I" exclaemed Jl.
T ; "I thought it valuable, but this far
exceeds my estimation of it."
"Sir" resumed the jeweler. "I will not re
tract what I havo said. I am an expert deal
er, nnd to mo it may possibly bo worth fur
moro than tlio sum I have fixed. I will make
this proposition lo you ; you shall tako tho
rings you havo selected, and you Bhall put
tho box under an envelope stating it to bo
my property ; and, if It does not bring moro
than fifty thousand francs, you shall havo
my rings for nothing."
31. T was completely blinded by this
deep-laid scheme. Ho was a good connois
seur of objects of virtu, and ho was not a
little gratified to find his box so much over
valued, and to obtain tho rings without
opening his purse. The most exaggerated
valuation of tho snuff-box would scarcely
havo exceeded seven or eight thousand
francs. He sent for two of his neighbors,
ono of whom was a notary, and tho matter
was arranged conformably with the jeweler's
proposition. This being done, the invalid
said :
"Who will fix the piice of the box?"
"You, sir,"coolly replied tho jeweler.
"Me? You are jesting 1"
"I assure you, sir, I am quito berious. I
would willingly lay a good wager that you
will value tho box nt five hundred thousand
francs."
Jl. T directed nt the two witnesses a
look which seemed to say tho man is mad ;
but the jeweler added :
"You will value it at that price, I am
certain you will. Hut first of all, I havo to
acquaint you witii a circumstance connected
with this box, which will enable you to per
ccivo its real value."
Jl. T , full of curiosity nnd anxiety,
consented lu hear the jeweler s cuintnunica
lion iu private. The two neighbors, taking
the box with them,ailj()urned to tho drawing
room ; and M. T and the jeweler being
left alone, tho latter said :
"Sir, it is now about sixteen years ago
sinco that snutl'-box was stolen from me; and
a short time lifter, you robbed mo of fifty
thousand crowns' worth of diamonds, under
the usstiineil name of Piinco Gargarin. I
have iiuvv discovered you. My evidence re
lative to the rubbery is on record. You have
declared thesnull-box to be yours, anil I can
prove having purchased it at a public sale.
I know u secret which will p ace the truth
of my assertion beyti.ul a doubt. Now, sir,
tell mo whether you are inclined to ilel'ciiiL
youiself in tho criminal suit which I inten I
Ibithivith to imtitulo against you."
livery wind uttered by thu jeweler fell like
a thunderbolt mi the ears of Jl. T .
Overwhelmed with the consciousness of his
guilt, his Imagination pictured nil Ihu hoi
rnrs of imprisonment, tri.il, Fonlcnci', and
tho scallbld. Ilo rtllecled, and tho juvvcler
said ;
"Sir, I give you live minutes to form your
determination,"
At tlio uxpinitinn of that interval, 51.
T , iu n faltering voice, directed the
joweler tu open a drawer, in which" ho would
find bllkh tie banquet for threo hundred
thousand francs, payable at his banker's that
day. This being done, tho jeweler called in
tho witnesses,
"Gentlemen," said ho, "I havo at length
convinced 51. T of tho real valuaoftho
snutr-box. You hco tho prico at which he
has purchased it back from mo."
"I have given iivo hundred thousand
francs," said M. T .
"Hero is your box," said tho jeweler, re
storing it, "and I will let you havo the rings
into tlio bargain,
Tlio notary, who was no less amazed than
tho other witness, said t
"There is somo mystery In all thli."
"Probably thero is," replied tho jeweicr ;
'Jl, T may explain it if he pleases j for
my part I promiso him eternal secrecy,"
With theso words ho took his departure,
leaving the witnesses bewildered in a maze
of conjectures. 51, T ,tliough Immensely
rich, (ho was said to possess upward of
three millions,) never recovered from the
mortification attendant on this unexpected
discovery. Tho jeweler faithfully adhered
to his promiso of secrecy ; but the subtle
machinery of tho police unraveled tho
mystery,
Oriental Marriages.
In America, lovo)"prccedcs nntl"pteparcs
tho way for mnrrlago at least this Is our
theory of courtship. In tho East, marriage
precedes and prepares for lovo at least this
is tho Oriental theory of tho wedded state.
It quito nccords, therefore, with tho'Kastcrn
idcasjof tho marriago relationthat women
enter into it at an ago which to us seems
very unfit ; and thin practice of early mar
riages Is also favored by thejfact that women
reach their mnturity nt n muchcarlier ago
than with us. They aro at the height of
their bloom and beauty "ntfiftcen'or slxtccu.
They aro often married; nt'thlrteenjor four
teen, and sometimes as early as eight or
nine ; nndJDr, Van Lenncp mentions one
instance of n weddinp; which ho attended in
which the bride was so young that she was
carried about iu tho arms of her relatives.
Naturally courtship is dono by proxy, and
tho young men aro cheated out of what the
American regards as ono of tho most sacred,
inalienable rights. Tho duty 'of looking up
for tho young man n suitable wife, which
oven in our own society tho mothers, aunts,
or sisters often nssume, is in the Fast, by
universal consent, devolvedupou them.
Womanly nature is cssentiallyltho.samo
tho world; over, andwo may safely assumo
that they arc nothing loth to perform the
dutywhich social ciistom'iutrusts to them,
For this purposo they sally forth in a body
on their tour of inspection, call at any house,
which afibrds reasonable hopo of containing
a suitable inmate, aro invariably greeted
with tho utmost courtesy, and ushered at
once into tho reception room ; tho young
lady is summoned, nnd presently enters
bearing sweetmeats and water ;"she is ar
rayed in all the finery and jewels which be
long to her dowry ; nor is it considered a
breach of social propriety to inquire with
particularity respecting her marriage por
tion. This frankness prevents some of the
awkward discoveries which sometimes occur
with us after marriage to mar thejhnppincss
of tho honey-moon. If tho preliminary ne
gotiations are satisfactory, a bargain Is made
between the parents, in which the amount
paid by the husband, or on his behalf, cither
to tho bride or to lier parents, is definitely
agreed upon. This, which under the 5Iosa
io law was fixed at a uniform rate at fifty
shekels or twenty-five dollars varies with
the modern Jews witii tho condition of tho
bride's family, while among some of tho
Circassian tribes and the Tartars, as among
the African savages, tho daughter, when she
reaches a marriageable age, is sold to the
highest bidder. The parties aro always
considered as affianced as soon ns tho mar
riage contract has been ngrecdjto, but the
nuptial ceremony is sometimes deferred for a
considerable period, during which time the
brido and groom nro not permitted to see
cachjotber; their solejinterconrse with each
other is through the intervention of a "friend
of tlie'.bridegroom." Thojjwedding dresses
even more a matter of importance with the
Eastern brido than with us.3$Tho prepara
tion of her toilet in the presence of feraalo
friends, often occupies a larger part of two
days. Tho wedding veil, the bridal crown,
the dodos, or cap, are'some of tho emblems
dodned for tho bridal ceremony. The cos
tumes nro often rich nnd gorgeous beyond
expression. Fashionas interpreted by nn
Oriental milliner, quoted by Dr. Van hen
nep, prescribes the characteristics of an ideal
wedding dress. It should measure six yards
from the shoulders to tho end of tho train;
the long sleeves should sweep the floor;
the material is silk ; it is elaborately em
broidered by a party of professional embroi
deers under the direction of a chief. Tho
sum paid for superintending the needle work
on a single robe referred to by Dr. Van
Lcniiep was five hundred dollars, whilo tho
charge for the work done by the subordi
nates was two thousand five hundred dol
lars, and the entire cost of the dress was ten
thousand ; nor must it bo forgotten that la
bor in that country is very much less expen
sive than in this.
Tho marriago festivities last often for a
week, ami in many sections of the P.ast tho
old practices are still maintained. The
bridegroom with a procession, starts with
music and torches, by night, for the house of
tho bride, where, after a show of resistance,
nnd sometimes quite a struggle, she is taken
possession of and homo away to her future
home. This resistance by the coy maiden
to tho approach of her husband is curiously
illustrative of the marriage customs of many
countries, and iu various 1'tirnn from that
of African society, iu which the brideeroom
chases the fleeing bird, captures and carries
her away bodily, tu that of the XestntiatK,
whero tho bible remains in llio corner of the
church until tlio time conies for the joining
of hands, when she is dragged hull acruss
tho building by luain strength toward In r
intended husband, who is allowed to seizo
her hand only after a vehement struggle, du

A Materialized Hole.
Tako a sheet of stiff writing paper and
fold it into a tuboap inch In diameter. Ap
ply it to tho right eyo and look steadfastly
through it, focusing the eye on any conve
nient object; keep tho left eye open, now
place tho left hand, held palm upward,
edgeways against' tho sido of tho paper
lube, and about an inch or two abovo its
lower end. The astonishing effect will be
produced of a hole, apparently of the size
of tho cross section of tho tube, .made
through the left hand. This is the hole in
which wo propose to materializoanother and
smaller hole. As wo need a genuine aper
ture, nnd it would be inconvenient to make
one in the left hand, let a sheet of white pa
per bo substituted therefor and similarly
held. Just nt tho part of tho paper where
the hole equalling in diameter the orifice of
the tube appears, mako nn opening 1 inch
in diameter. Now staro intently into the
tube j and the second hole, defined by its
difference of illumination, will be seen float
ing in the first hole, and yet both will be
transparent, The illusion, for of course it
is one of those odd pranks our binoculary
vision plays upon us, is certainly one of the
most curious ever devised. Besides, hero is
the actual hole clearly visible, and yet there
is no solid body to be seen to define its
edges. It is not a mere spot of light, be
cause if a page of print he regarded, the
lines within the boundaries of tho little
holo will not coincident all with those sur
rounding it and extending to the edges of
the large apparent aperture. Each eye ob
viously transmits an entirely differeut im
pression to tho brain,and that organ, una
ble to disentangle them, lands us in the pal
pable absurdity of a materialized hole.

Wealth in San Francisco.
There are almost one hundred millionaires
in this State, moro than one-half of whom
live in San Francisco. Why, I can well re
member when there were but three persons
in the United States who were worth over a
million dollars; but tho Argonauts are not
satisfied with millions. They go on accumu
lating and dazzling tho masses with adisplay
of their riches until deuth arrests their pro
gress. On Clay street alone there are from
twelve to fifteen private residences each of
which cost not ouo cent less than $300,000,
and there are three or fouron the same street
which cost not one cent less than $500,000,
and several stables that cost moro than
$100,000.
Tho magnificence of San Francisco does
not consist alone in its private residences,
The new City Hall and tho Custom House,
as well as other public buildings now iu
course of completion, tho gardens, parks,
theatres, churches, temples, gambling sa
loons, the Stock Exchange, tho business
houses, tho Nevada Block, owned by Flood
& O'llricn, tho Mint, the Safe Deposit
Building, ivc,, uie enough, us Jlulberry Sel
lers would say, "to astonish tho world."
Tho Stock Exchango has not as many mem
bers as the Hoard of New York, but it cosls
much mnru to be a member of it. As much
us f-Pi.OOO has been paid for n seat in the
board. Just think of it I Forty-five thou
sand dollars fur tho privilege of buying and
selling stocks. Ami this is not all, There's
much morn rutside buying and selling than
thero is iu New York. Wall street is novi r
as cm vded as California street. Tho mania
for coaling in stocks pervades all classes of
society, liullclins are issued every hour.
Men, women and children are found every
where asking tho price nf consolidated Vil-
giiiia.Cnlifornia.Ophir, antlS.iviigo. Women
who claim to be I ad i is of thu highest respect
ability, can be seen hurrying Ui and fru
giving their commissions to brokers to buy
anil sell ou the margin, Servant girls ate
also infected with the mani.t, and not a few
of this class become suddenly lich through
their skill or luck iu stock gambling.
There seems bo mi law against gambling
of any kind heie, niul it there is it is not oh
served; for it is openly dune on thu streets
and iu tho bar-ruiniis, A f.ivorlto amuse
ment is to toss up n twenty-dollar or a fil'ty
dollar gold-piece, with tho cry "heads or
tails?" and the man who wins quietly pock'
eta it with an air of perfect imliilerence, I
have never seen such crowded streets, cer
talnly not iu New York or l'hiladalpliiii.
and tho wonder is where the people come
from, as the city doea not claim a popula
tion of over 300,000. Little attention Is
paid to dress. The city is fully cosmouoli
tau. You can wear any kiud of olothen you

ness, mould, megrims. Instead of doing
this, however, many careful housewives close
the blinds, draw down the shades, lock th
door, shut out the glorifying rays and re
joice In the dim and musty coolness and twi
light of their unhealthy apartment. It U
pleasant and not unwholcsomo, during the
glare Of the noontide, to subdue the light
nnd exclude the nlr quivering with heat, but
In the morning nnd In tho evening wo may
freely indulge in the sun bath, and let it
flood all our rooms, nnd if at its very fierce-
est and brightest It has full entrance to onr
sleeping rooms, so much tho better for us.
Wiro netting In doors nnd windows exclude
not files nnd mosquitoes only, but all other
insects, and those who have once used it will
continue to do so. With this as a protection
from intrusive winged creatures one may al
most dispense with shades and shutters and
enjoy all the benofits of nn open house with
out any nnnoynnces so frequent in warm
weather. But better the aunoynnces with
sunshine than freedom without it. Statistic
of epidemics have shown that If they rage
in auy part of a city they will prevail in
houses which aro exposed to tho least sun
shine, whilo those most exposed to it will
not be at all or very slightly affscted. Even
in the somo hoine persons occupying rooms
exposed to sunlight willbehealtheir and re

occupying rooms where no sunlight enters.
' His Mule.
"Sneaking about mules," remarked a six
footer from Harnettl-county, as he cracked
his whip at the market yesterday morning,
'I've got a mule at home which knows aa
uch as I do, and I want to hear somebody
say that I am half fool."
No oue said so, ami he went on:
"I'vo stood around here and heard men
blow about kicking mules till I've got dis
gusted. When you coruo down to kicking, I
want to bet on my mule. A preacher came
along and took dinner with me the other
day, and as he seemed n little downhearted,
I took him out to see Thomas Jefferson, my
champion mule. I was telling the good man
how that inula would flop his hind feet
around, and he said he'd like to see a littlo
fun. He'd passed his wholo llfo in the
South, but had never seen a mulo lay his
soul into a big time at kicking.
"Well," he continued, after borrowing
some tobicco. "I took Thomas out of tho
stablo, backed him up agin a hill, gin him
a cufl'ou the ear, and we stood back to see
the amusement. It was a good place to
kick his damdest, and what d'ye 'spose he
did ? In ten minutes by tho watch ho was
out of sight. In fivo more wo could't feel
him with a twelve-foot pole, and and "
The crowd began to yell and sneer, ana
tho old man looked around and added :
'Dots anybody think I'm lying? Would I
lie for one mule?"
About jl Stolen Pie. A Charlemont
marketmau, says tho Springfield (7iiio,when
delivering goods one morning, discovered, on
leaving the house ef a customer, a custard
pio sitting In a window, where the lady of
the house had placed it to cool for dinner.
He at once appropriated It, and, driving
directly to tho store of the lady's husband,
called him out uud told him ho had "hook
ed" a nice" custard pie, and if he would get
some cheese they would havo a nice time
eating it. Of course the cheeeo was forth
coming, and, after satisfactorily disposing of
the pie, the question arose what to do with
the plate. The merchant said he would take
care of that, and, suiting his action to his
words dashed it against the wall. W hen the
merchant went homo to dinner that day, bis
wife apologized for not having any dessert,
saying she made a custard pio fordinner.and
set it in the window to cool,and she supposed,
some boys must have stolen it. Her husband
wasn't pie hungry, and seemed quite pleased
about something, but kept "mum." Next
morning; tho merchant, meeting the market
man, sung out: "I'iel" In reply, the
other said : "Cheese 1 And whose plate
was that you smashed ?"

How is it that girls can always tell a mar
ried mim from a single one? The fact is iu
disputable, Blackwood says the "fact of
matrimony or bachelorship is written uo leg
ibly iu n man's appearance that uo ingenui
ty can conceal it. Everywhere there is some
Inexplicable Instinct that telts us whether
an individual (whoso name, fortune, and
circumstances aro totally unknown) be or bo
not u married man, Whether it is a certain
subdued look, such as that which character
izes tho lious in u menagerie, aud distin
guishes them from tho lords of tho desert,
wo cannot tell ; but tho truth Is so positive
