VOL, XXATL HOW TO CURE CONSUMPTION. THE PHILOSOPHY OF Dlt. SCIIENCK'S GREAT IitEDICIN7 S.—Will people never learn to know that a diseased liver and stomach necessarily disease the entire system 7 The plainest principles of common sense teach this and yet there are hundreds who ridicule the Id: a, and continue in the course which almost Inevitably ! brings them prematurely to the grave. Livia•: as the majority of the people do, at complete variance with the laws of nature, it must be apparent to all that, sooner or later, nature will revenge herself. Hence we find that persona who indulge to excess In the use of very rich or indigestible food or intoxicating drinks, Invoriably pay a heavy penalty in the end. The stomach becomes dis ordered and refuses to net: the liver tails to perform its functions, thspemia and its attendant evils follow, and still the suffering individuals persist In clinging to rho thoroughly exploded idea of the past. Dr. SCHENK'S medicines are recommended to all such. They Ming sure and certain relief wherever they aro used as directed, and all that is necessary to establish their reputation with every ailing man or woman In the land is a fair and impartial trial of them. Let those who are skeptical on this point, and who hare permitted interested persons to prejudice them against these now celebrated remedies for consumption. discard their prejudices, and be governed by the principles of reason and common sense. If the system Is disordered depend upon it, in nine cases out of inn the seat of the disorder will be found in the stomach and liver. To cleanse end Invlgot ate the stomach and to stimulate the liver to healthy action, use SCIIENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS.—The daily increas ing demand for these pills In the beet evidence of their value. Thousands upon thousands of boxes are sold daily. Why ? Simply because they Oct promptly and efficiently Invalids who may not find it convenient to call on Dr. SCHENCK in person aro informed that full and com plete din Miens for use nccompsay each package of the MANDRAKE PILLS, PULMONIC SYRUP AND SEA WEED TONlC.—These medicines will curs consumption unless the lungs aro so far gone that the patient is entire ly beyond the reach of medical relief. It may be asked by those who are not familiar with the virtues of these great reniedies,"How do Dr. Schenck'a medicineseffect their wonderful cures of consumption 1" The answer is a simple one. They begin their walk of restoration by bringing the stomach, liver and bowels into en active healthy condition. It Is toed that cures this formidable disease. SCHENCK'S MANDRAKE PILLS act on the liver and stomach, promoting healthy secretion, and removing the bile and slime which have result, d n mu the inactive or torpid condition of those or gans, and c f the system generally. This sluggish state of the body, and the consequent accumulation of the un healthy substances named prevent the proper digestion of food, andos a natural remain.. creates disease, which results to prostration and finally In death. SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP and SEAWEED TON IC, when taken regularly, mingle with the food, and the digesthe organs, make good and rich blood. and as a nat ural consequence, Ole flesh and strength to the patient. Let the faculty say what It may, this is the only true cure for consumption. Experience has proved beyond the shadow of a doubt, and thousands aro today alive and well who a few years since were regarded as hope less cases, but who w ere Induced to try Er. SCHENCK'S remedies, and were restored to permanent health by their use. myl2 69 One of the first steps the physician should take with a consumptive patient is to ins igerrto the system. Now how is this to be done f Certainly not by giving medi cines that exhaust end enervate—medicines that impair Instead of improve the functions of the digestive organs Doctor SCItENCK'S medicines cleanse the stomach and bow els of all substances which are calculated to irritate or weaken thorn. 'they cleats an appetite—promote healthful digestion—make good blood, and, as a conse quence, they inaigorate and strengthen the entire Nye tern and more especially those parte which are discount If this cannot be done, then the case must be regarded as. a hopeless one. if the physician finds it impessible to make a patient feel hungry, if the deceased person cannot partake of good nourishing food and properly digest it, it is impossible that he can gain in flesh end strength; and it is equally Impossible to bring a patient to this co w l Bien so long no the liter is burdened with diseased bile, nad the stomach laden with unhealthy slime. Almost the first reauest made to the physician by a consumr.tive patient is that Ito will prescribe medicines that will allay the cough, night sweats and chine, is Lich are the sure attendants on consumption. But this should not be done, as the cough is only an effort of nature to relieve itself, and the night sweats nail chills are canoed by the diseased lunge. The remedies ordinarily prescrib ed do more harm then good. 'lite) Impair the functions of the atomach, Impede healthy digestion, and aggravate rather than cure the disease. 03312E3 Theta is, after all, nothing like facts which to substan tiate a position, and it upon Lace that Dr. Schenek's relies.

In the year 1861, I was superinten dent of the Howrick and Rocky River Railroad. It was a line that did a good run of business, connecting as it did a gnat city with a flourishing back country, and we run a pretty good number of trains over the rails in the course of twenty-four hours. The daily trains were every hour, but after nine in the evening there was only one train until the steamboat accommoda tion of half past three in the morning. This intervening train was the Bel port mail. It was made up at Belport and ran as fir as Clifton, express all the way. Belport was the large city of which I have spoken, and it was there my office was located for the business of the road was all settled and arranged at that end of the line. Of course I give fictitious names, and the reader may not expect to find Belport en the railway map. The 12:30 train, or midnight mail, as it was more frequently designated, was run by Earl Rogers, a young man of seven or eight and twenty, who had been employed on the road for several years. Ile was the best engine driver on the corporation, and for that reason he had been elected for that train, be cause there was a better lookout re quired by night. Earl taken all in all, was ono of the finest fellows I ever saw. Frank, hand some, generous to a fault, and very Well educated. He had fallen into the vocation of an engineer more for his love of excitement and danger than anything else, perhaps, and if there was any particularly perilous business to be done, Earl Rodgers was our man. For some time ho had been desper ately in love with Laura Domain, the daughter of a rich old fellow, just on the other side of the Rocky river, a half a dozen miles beyond Belport. This love was fully returned, for Laura was a noble-hearted girl and did not care for wealth and ambition when weighed in the balance with love; but old Domain and she were two, and there was no probability of him ever giving his consent. He had set his heart on her marrying Prince Carleton, a young blood of the vicinity, reputed wealthy, and of an old family. Demain's opposition naturally made the lovers more determined, and they only waited an increase of Earl'isalary to be married in spite of papa Domain. Earl was a faithful fellow and I was doing the best with the company to get an advance for him, with every prob ability of success. Somehow, I took a strong interest in Earl's love affairs. I am an old codger, and love matters are rather out of my lino, my forte being the calculating of accounts, the regulation of freight rates, and the management of business so as to secure the fattest dividends to the stockholders. Perhaps my interest in Earl's love for Laura might be because I most cor dially detested Prince Carleton. He was always "blowing" our road, find ing fault with the rate of epeed, with the grade, with the ventilation, with everything in short, for nothing suited him. Then upon ono occasion he and I bad a few words neither very pleas ant no• very choice, and he had called mo an old scoundrel, and I returned the compliment with interest. After that wo were worse friends than ever. Ono dark rainy night in November, just after the nine o'clock train had been got off, and I was sitting in my office trying to balance an account that pould not balance, the door opened and Earl Rodgers walked in. lie had on his waterproof suit the hood over his head, and the collar buttoned close ly, but I saw that his face was very pale and his eyes gleamed with unnat ural fire "What in the world has happened, Rodgers 7" said 1. "You look as glum as if you were going to your own fune ral." "Mr. Woodbury," said ho earnestly, "do you believe in presentiments ?" '•No," said I, "I certainly do not; they are old woman's whims !" "Perhaps so. I wish I could think so,' said he sadly, "I have been trying hard to•" "What is it, Earl? Anything gone wrong with Laura ?" for I did not know but the little jade had been play ing off with him after the manner of woman. "You will laugh at me, Mr. Wood bury, but I mast tell somebody, or I will go out of my wits," said he half laughing, "and before heaven I tell you it is all truth. Thursday afternoon I took a hand car and went over to Roc ky River Bridge. Ido not mind con fessing that I went on purpose to get a glimpse at her home—perhaps of her self. I stood at one end of the bridge, looking acrjss at the house, enraptured at the sight of a scarlet shawl which I knew was hors flitting in and out through the shrubbery of the garden. "And while I was looking at her I heard footsteps, and glancing up I saw myself coming up from the opposite side of the bridge ! I was dressed in this suit of waterproof, my face was as pale as death, and my wide open eyes wore blank and expressionless! "Sir, you think I am dazed, but I'm telling you;only the truth I While I• stood staring at the. vision it disap peared, and weak and trembling I came back to town. By the next day —yesterday, I had reasoned myself out of belief in anything of the kind. It was a hallucination, I said, and to prove it so, I would go out there again and see if it would appear for the sec ond time. I went out again yesterday and. sir, the same thing was repeated ! HUNTINGDON, PA., TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1870. -PERSEVERE.- It will come once moro,and then I shall go to my death 1" "Nonsense!" said I. "Come Earl, be honest, and confess that you had been taking too much whisky." "1 nevordrink anything as you know Mr. Woodbury," returned be, "and this thing was fearfully'real. if I run the mail tonight I shall be killed, and heaven knows what will be the fate of the train ! I suppose it could not be taken off' to-night." "Taken off? What in the deuce do you mean ?" snapped I, "this road runs trains as advertised ! Cowardly engi neers to the contrary notwithstanding Ile looked at me sadly, reproachful ly—and I could have kicked myself for the way I had spoken to him. "It was not on my own account, sir, said he, "but it is only a few days be fore Thanksgiving, and the train will be a full one. If there is an accident it may be a bad one." "Accident !" said I contemptuously, "fiddlesticks. Come in to-morrow and let us laugh at you." He bid me good-night gravely and went out.' Presently the clock struck twelve, and I heard three sharp successive whistles that told me that the train was nearly ready. A strange feeling of apprehension seized me. What if anything should happen? • Yielding to an impulse that would not be controlled, I threw on my over coat, turned out the gas, locked the of fice and hurried over to the depot just in season to catch the tail of the rear car and swing myself on board. Earl Rodgers stood at his post, pale and silent, yet altered and watchful. By the head light on the locomotive be could see the track for half a mile ahead, and - his keen eye scanned every inch 9f the *way as the train swept ou. Past Roman station—past the Mill Cut—past Hill's embankment, and they plunged into the narrow belt of woods which skirted Rocky River. Suddenly. as they swept around the curve, Earl's cheek whitened and he drew his breath quick and bard I What ho saw before the train, warn ed him that only death and destruction lay ahead. He could probably save himself by leaping off, but that would doom all on board. Not a second did he hesitate. Tho sharp whistle down breaks sounded. He reversed steam and did everything in his power to stop the train. When he saw that his efforts were in vain, that the obstacle which lay across the track only a few rods in ad vance could not be avoided, ho sprang over the wood-box and unlocked from the carriages; the engine released from the drag, shot ahead, and the next in-, slant plunged into the gulf. There was a crash, a succession of shrill whistles from the'escaping steam and then all was still. Not one of the carriages went down; the first one halted on the very brink of the abyss as if to impress more fear fully upon the minds of the passengers the terrible danger they had escaped. Before the train had come to a stop, I had jumped out and was flyingforward looking for Earl Rodgers. They pointed into the river in an swer, to my inquiries, and seizing a lantern from the hand of ono of the brakesmen, I soon climbed down the embankment and found him. He lay under a wreck of the locomotive, pale and bloody, with no breath coming from his lips. The two stokers were a little way off, stone dead. I am an old man, but I didn't feel the weight of that poor fellow as I car ried him up the bank, and on to the house of Demain, which happened to be the nearest residence. Of course old Demain could not re fuse admittance under the circumstan ces, and in five minutes Laura was with me trying to restore the lifeless man to consciousness. She was all courage and hope; but for her, we should have given him up for dead; and I to this day firmly be lieve that her presence and ber care brought him back from death. Sho never flinched while the surgeon amputated his leg at the knee, it was the only way to save him. Doctor Green said that Laura held the poor head of her patient to her bosom, and his bands inhere, through the whole operation. The accident it was found had been occasioned by a stick of timber across the track, and the railroad company offered a reward of a thousand dollars for the discovery of the rascally per- petrator. No matter how we found it out, but it was ascertained beyond a doubt that Prince Carleton was the guilty party. He confessed it when we bad him snug and safe, and said that he wanted Earl Rodgers out of the way, and because ho hated the whole concern—meaning the railroad and the corporation, ho had formed this plan of diabolical revenge. His father was a millionaire, and bought up our silence handsomely. Prince went to California, and I do not know what became of him. Old Domain proved himself a trump after all, and gave in gracefully. Ho is dead now, and Earl and Lau ra live at the old piano, as happy a couple as over you saw. As for Earl's warning, you may believe what you like about it. I have no explanation to offer.

After - 1 had drifted 'Abe White House with the flood tidy:fumanity that had been washing si:eudily up the street for an hour, I obeyed the orders of the soldier at the door and the po liceman within, and banked my um brella with a colored man, who gave me a piece of brass with a number on it, and said that thing would produce the property at any time of the night. I doubted it, but I was on unknown ground now, and must be content to take a good many chances. Another person told me to drop in with the crowd and I would come to the President presently. I joined, and we drifted along till we passed a cer tain point, and then we thinned out to double and single filo. It was a right gay scene, and a right stirring and lively one; for the whole place was brightly lighted, and all down the great hall as far as one could see was a restless and writhing multitude of people, the women powdered, painted, jeweled and splendidly upholstered, and many of the men glided with the insignia of great naval, military and ambassadorial rank. . It was bewilder ing. Our long line kept drifting along, and by and by we came in sight of the President and Mrs. Grant. They were standing up shaking hands and trading civilities with our procession. I grew somewhat at, home little by little, and then begun to feel satisfied and con• tented. I was getting to be perfectly alive with interest by the time it came my turn to talk with the President.— I took him by the hand and looked him in the eye and said; "Well, I reckon I see you at last, general, I have said as much as a thousand times, out in Nevada, that if ever I went home to the States I would just have the private satisfaction of fin ing and saying to you by word of mouth that I thought you considerable of a soldier anyway. Now you know out there we—" I turned round and said to the fel low behind me: "Now look here, my good friend, how the nation do you suppose I can talk with any satisfaction with you crowding me this way? I am sur prised at your manners." He was a modest looking creature. He said : "But you see the whole procession's stopped, and they're crowding up on me." "Some people have got more check. Just suggest to the parties behind you to have some respect for the place they aro in, and not try to shove in on a private conversation. What the General and mo are talking about isn't of the least interest to them." Then I resumed to tho President : "Well, well, well. Now this is fine. This is' what I call something like.— Gay ? Well, I should say so. And so this is what you call a Presidential ro ception. I'm free to say that it just lays over any thing that ever 1 saw out. in the sagebrush. 1 have been to Gov.

Most remarka ble man, Jim Nye—remarkable. He can tell a lie with that purity of accent and that grace of utterance, and that convincing emotion—" I turned again and said : '•My friend, your conduct surprises me. I have came over three thousand miles to bare a word with the Presi dent of the United States upon sub jects with which you aro not even re motely connected, and by the living genwhilikens I can't proceed with any sort of satisfaction on account of your cussed crowding. Will you please to go a little slow now and not attract so mach attention by your strange con duct? If you had any eyes you could see how the bystanders are staring." lie said : "But I toll you, sir, it's the peoplo behind. They aro just growling and surging and shoving and I wish I was in Jericho, I do." "I said : "I wish you was, myself. You might learn some delicacy of feeling in that ancient seat of civilization, may be.— Drat if you don't need it." And then Iresumed to the President "Yes, sir, I've been at receptions be fore, plenty of them—old Nye's Injun receptions. But they warn't as•star chy as-this by considerable.

Yes, indeed, General, and ma dam, many and many's the time out in tho wilds of Nevada, I've been—" "Perhaps you had better discontinue your remarks till another time, sir, as the people behind you are growing somewhat impatient," the President said. "Do you hear that 7" I said to the fellow behind me. "I suppose you will take that hint, anyhow. I tell you he is milder than I would be. If I was President, I would waltz you people out at the back door if you came crowd ing a gentleman this way, that I was holding a private conversation with." Then I resumed with the President "I think that hint of yours will start them. I never saw people act so. It is really about all I can do to hold my ground with the mob shoving behind. But don't you worry on my account, General—don't give yourself any un easiness about me—l can stand it as long as they can. I've been through this kind of a mill before. Why, as I was saying to you, many and many a time out in the wilds of Nevada, I was at Governor Nye's Injun -receptions— and between me and you and that old man was a good deal of a Governor, take him all around. I don't know what for Senator he makes, though I think you'll admit that him and Bill Stewart and Tom Fitch take a bigger average of brains into that capitol up yonder,lby a hundred and fifty fold, than any other State in America ac cording to the population. And if you could just have been at one of old Gov. Nye's Injun receptions, and seen them savages—not highfliers like these, you know, but frowsy old bummers with nothing in the world on, in Summer time, but an old battered plug hat and a pair of spectacles—l tell you it was a swell affair, was one of Gov. Nye's early day receptions. Many and ma ny's the time .1 have been to them, and seen him stand up and beam and smile on his children, as he culled them in his motherly way—beam on them- by the hour out of his handsome face, and comfort them with his persuasive tongue—seen him stand up there, and tell them anecdotes and lies, and quote Watt's hymns to them until ho just took all the war spirit out of them— and grim chiefs that came two hundred miles to tax the whites with whole wa gon loads of blankets and things or make eternal war if they didn't get them, he has sent away bewildered with his inspired mendacity and per fectly satisfied and enriched with an old hoopshirt or two, a lot of Patent Office reports, and a few sides of con demned atmy bacon that they would have to chain up to a tree when they camped or the skippers would walk off with them. I tell you be is a rattling talker. Ho—" I wheeled and said: "My friend, your conduct grieves me to the heart: A dozen times at least your unseemly crowding has seriously interfered with the conversation I am holding with the President, and if the thing occurs again, .I. shall take my bat and leave the premises." "I wish to the mischief you would Where did you come from anyway. that you've got the unutterable cheek to spread yourself hero and keep fif- teen hundred people standing waiting half an hour to shake hands with the President ?" An officer touched me on the shoul der and said : along, please ; you're annoy ing the President beyond all patience. You have blocked the procession, and the people behind you are getting fu rious Come, move along, please." Rather than have trouble, I moved along. So I had no time to do more than look back over my shoulder and say : "I do reckon Jim Nye is the han diest creature about making the most of his chances that over found all all sufficient substitute for mother's milk in politics and sin. Now that is the kind of man old Nye is; and in less than two months he would talk every—: But 1 can't make you hear the rest, General, without hollering too loud." oar The counterfeiters have been baffled by the peculiar red and blue fi ber of the new postal currency.

LEWIS , BOOK STATIONERY & AWED titOtt.E A Headless Horseman—How he todd at Wcerth: • At the battle of Wcerth,- it' is paid that at the third charge of the cuiras siers, a horse was to be seen going at full speed with a headless rider. The mutilated corpse was that of M. de ,la Futzum'de Lacarre, colonel of tl3ethjrd regiment of French cuirassiers, who' had been decapitated by a cannon ball. Most people on reading this *mild de dare that it was a mere sensation par agraph, totally devoid of truth ; , Such' as occurrence, however, would not, by any means seem to be an impossibility: Not long ago we directed our readers' attention to an interesting artielepali i i lished by Dr. Brintori, surgeon to the Philadelphia lfospital,on the instantan eous rigidity which forms the occasion- al acconipanithent of sadden tiritio lent death,such as resUltd from wounds' of the head and heart. The startling phenomenon sometimes seen on, the battle field, of the retention in death of the last attitude in life, has not es caped the' observation of military Sur: goons, although the facts connected' therewith have not been studied with , the attention that they deierve. Those' who are familiar with the descriptions' that were given of the Crimean battle fields, particularly that of Inkerman, will remember that the various atti tudes and the expression of the fee- - tures of the 'dead wore dwelt upon.-- The report.of M. ()berme • contains a' short account, chiefly based upon the communications of M. M. Armand and Perier of the attitudes of the dead' hi battle during the Crimean and Italian campaigns. At Magenta a Hungarian hussar, killed ttt, the same time as. his' horse, remained almost in the saddle,• resting on his right side, the point ,cit his sabre carried forward, as at the charge. This rigidity generally fol- - lows sudden and violent deaths, but not invariably. Dr. Brinton, among his cases, gives one of a very striking kind. He says that a man wounded in the left breast at Belmont, MisSouri, found a stray mule, which he succeed ed in mounting. While in the act of riding the animal he died; but his corpse retained the upright mounted position and on its becoming neced-• sary to appropriate the mule to the use of a living wounded soldier the body was found to be BO firmly aid' rigidly set as to require a certain amount of positive force to :free the mule from the clasps of legs. Brin ton is led to conclude, from his own observations and those of others, that this battle-field rigidity is developed at the moment of death, and that the cadaveric attitudes are "those of the last moment and act of life.—London _Lancet 'TIE SECRET.—"Mother,"said a child of ton years of age, '•I want to know the secret of your going away alonw every night andoorning ?"
