cheapest whisk ey or common flint, costing from !0 to

This class of Bitters has caused and will continue to
cause, as lung as they can be sold, hundreds to die the
death of the drunkard. By their use the system is
kept continually under the influence otAlcoltelic Stim
ulants of the worst kind, the desire fur Liquor is crea
ted anti kept up, and the result is all the horrors at
tendant upon a drunkard's life and death.
For those who desire and nail/ hare a Liquor Bitters,
we publish the following receipt. (let One Bottle Ifoof

Good Brandy or lVltitkey, and the result will be a prep

true excellence any of the numerous Liquor Bitters in
the market, and will cost much less. You will have
all the virtues of Hoofiand's Bitters in connection with
a good article of Liquor, at a much IeSS price than
these inferior preparations will cost you.
Attention Soldiers!
AND THE FRIENDS OF SOLDIERS.
We call the attention of all having relations nod
friends in the army to the feet that —IIOOFLAND'S
German Bitters" will cure nine tenths of the diseases
induced by exposures and privations incident to camp
life. In the lists. published almost daily in the news
papers. on the arrival of the s , ck, it will be noticed
that a very large proportion are suffering from debili
ty. Every case of that kind can be readily cared by
lloolland's German Bitters. Diseases resulting from
disorders of the digestive targy ns are speedily removed.
We have no hesitation instating that, it these Bitters
were freely used among our soldiers. hundreds of lives
might be saved that otherwise will be lost.
We call particular attention to the following re:
markable and well authenticated cure of one of the
nation's heroes, whose to use his own language,
"bats been saved by the Bitters :"
PIMATOMPOIA, August 23rd, 1862.
1 Messrs. Jena &Daum—Well, gentlemen, your Hoof
an the German Bitters has saved my life. There is no
mistake in this. It is vouched fir by numbers of my
comrades, some of whose nano are appended, and who
were fully cognizant of all the circumstances of my
case I am, and have been far the last four years, a
member of .Shernian's elebrated battery, and under
the immediate command of Captain R. B. As res.—
Threugh the exposure attendant upon my arduous du
ties. I was attacked in November last with inflammation
of the lungs, and was for seventy-two days in the hos
pital. This was followed by great debility, heighten
ed by an attack of dysentery. I was then removed
from the White !louse, and sent to this city on board
the Steamer .-State of Maine" from which I landed
on the 23th of Jane. Simla that titre 1 have been a
bout as low as any one could be and still retain a spark
alvitality. For a week or more I was scarcely able to
swallow anything, and if 1 did three a morsel down, it
was immediately thrown up again.
I could not even keep a glass of water on my stom
ach . Life could not last under these circumstances;
and, accordingly, the physicians who had been work
ing Mithfully, though unsuccessfully, to rescue ma
from the grasp of 'the dead Archer, frankly told me
they could do noMore for me, and advised me to see
a clergyman, and to Make such disposition of my limi
ted funds as best suited me. An acquaintaece who
visited me at the hospital, Mr. Frederick Stelubrom 0
Sixth below Arch Street, ad , islet me, as a forlorn
hope, to try your Bitters, and kindly procured a hot.
tle. From the time I commenced taking them the
gloomy shadow of death receded, and 1 am now, thank
Cod for it, getting better. Though I have but taken
two bottles, 1 have gained ten pounds, aud I feel san
guine of being Pa rattled to rejoin my wife and daugh
ter, from whom I have heard nothing for 18 months:
for, gentlemen, I am a loyal Virginian, front the vicin
ity of Front Royal. To your invaluable Bitters I owe
the certainty of life which has taken the place of vague
fears—to your. Bitters will I owe the glorious privilege
fof again clasping to my began those who are dearest to
me in life. Very truly yours, ISAAC MALONE'.
We fully concur in the troth of the above statement,
as we had despaired of seeing our comrade, Mr. Malone,
restored to health.

NUMBER SIXTY-EIGHT.
The 930 P. m, train had left me on
the platforitl of the Carlisle station ;
I was on ray way - to Glosgow, and
had resolved to break the journey by
sleeping at the Railway Hotel, because
it had a convenient entrance lroai the
platform.
As f was seeing my luggage•put on
a truck a middle aged, portly man, of
like manner, and with a
fine voice, came up to where I stood,
and commenced an elaborate search
among the pile of baggage for a trunk
he had loat—a black trunk with
white dial - ponds on it.
.He expressed.
himself vexed and distressed at hav
ing lost it, and seemed quite 'unable
to determine what course to pursue.
I sympathised whith him, and went
with him to the telegraph office,
where be telegraphed to Dover for
the post luggage.
'What hotel do you go to r said
the stranger., in a deep, rich, comfor•
table voice.
I replied, 'To the Railroad Hotel as
I leave by the 6:15 train in the morn
ing for Glasgow'
'That is my train and my destina
tion,' said the stranger ; 'so I will go
to the same hotel.'
He was a stout man, standing a,
bove five feet seven, neatly dressed in
a dark frock coat, lemon colored i\lar•
sala, waiscoat, arid black neckcloth.—
He wore the sharp standing collars
of the last fashion but one, and he car
ried an umbrella, a telescope and an
air cushion in one hand, while the
fingers of the other played. with a
heavy steel watch chain. He was_a.
Man with large, well defined features,
busby eyebrows, and a rather coarse
but humorous mouth. 'When he lift.
ed his hat I saw that he was rather
bald, and had a scar high on his left
temple.
'Beds?' the lady at the hotel
bar, running her finger up and down
a black multiplication table covered
with white figures, with mysterious
keys hanging below each of them,
like fruit on the stem. While she
was pursuing this task with the air
of conferring a favour rather than of
welcoming guests, the stranger, who
bad already introduced himself to me
as Air. Thistlewood, whispered in my
ear :
'Do the custom house officers take
bribes?'
saw, of conrep, that,, he meant
this a joke, and I laughed. .„.
'Of course not,' I said. 'They'll
pass our luggage directly.'
Mr. Thistlewood was evidently a
born humorist, for not the slightest
return smile dimpled his face as ho
replied
'Well, so I thought; they'll search
it more completely, I suppose when
we get - to

the speed of modern traveling, as if
Carlisle were only the first station on
some great and perilous journey we
were about to undertake.
,Sixty seven and sixty eight, John,'
said the lady, handing the keys to the
porter, who instantly shouldered my
trunk and began to ascend the stair

said, as he let the portmanteau drop
at door 67.
'Dinner for two,' I answered, gland•

'What'll you have, sir ?'
'Soup, a whiting or so, and a roast
fowl.'
'Exactly,' said my friend.
'Sorry, sir,' said the 'porter to Mr.
Thistlewood, 'that there is no glass
in your room, sir ; chambermaid
broke it yesterday; get you ono di.
redly, sir.'
'No, no, no, no,' said Toy compan
ion, rather irritably, '1 never allow
glass in my room. Bring a glass and
I leave the house.' As he said this
he smiled at me, as much
,as to say
this a joke of mine to startle the por
ter.
'Oh, of course not, if you don't wish
sir,' said the porter, shutting rue in

stood near it, I could not help hear

himself as he took off his boots. All
that I could distinguish however,
were these remarkable words :
'The discrimination of logic by Jack
Sheppard, as the homologyof thought
from psychology, as the phenomeno•
nology of mind, as Dr. Johnson very
truly said to Tippoo Sahib, will not

This shalahata was shouted so loud
that 1 thought it right to answer the
humorist, or actor, or ventriloquist,
or professor, or whatever he might be;
I tapped at the door.
'How about Tibet now ?' replied a
voice ; and then there came a curious
chuckling laugh, and the question,
'Do you understand comic fluxions ?'
'Not a bit I answered; 'and, what's
more, I never even heard of them.'
mdre did _Hegel,' he replied,
'till the Bampton Professor came and
Moses was wrong about the height of
the Pyramids,'
What exhaustible fancy. There
was a tap at my door..
'Dinner's ready, sin'

No; that, on second - consideration, I
thought unadvisable, for should I be

that. kind. Besides, madmen were

Once away in the train, I could easi

if it really existed, and could then act
accordingly.

Here the voice stopped, and a tre

The man was mad, that was evident;
bUt he was harmless, and he was a

I felt in the darkness—for 1 had
blown out my candle—for the key.
There was none ; so I contended my.
self with quietly placing two chairs
in such a way as that no one could
open the door without moving them
and awakening me. I then took out
the key of my bed room door; plac
ed it under iny pillow and jumped in.
to bed.
For some twenty minutes 1 sat up
listening to the heavy snoring of Mr.
Thist!wood. I theA lay down, fell
asleep, and dreamed.
Presently a low creaking noise
awoke mo, and I started. up in my
bed.
Yes, it was the maniac 1 There was

there was the door opening wider and

The door opened, and Thistlewood
entered on tiptoe. He was in his
long night gown but there was noth
ing else spectral about him. He had
his boots on, his face was red, and his
smile was as pleasant as over.
It was just daybreak. and the cold
pure gray light showed him clearly
to me as be pulled.up the blinds and
looked around with great- curiosity
but perfect composure.
He was talking to himself.
'Kepler,' he said, 'you invented the

turtle-soup. Rum ford, you invented
the patentsbaving box. But yon are
all fools compared to me, for I discov.
ered the egg-whipping machine, the
oyster-opener, the knife cleaner, and
Belt's brandy.'
All of a sudden. the reflection of
himself in- my pier glass caught his
eye, and the sight of it seemed to
drive him ' to fiiry. He lifted his
right foot and drove it through the

my bed :

4 ' The moment he darted into his
room I leaped out of bed, rushed in
to the corridor, and quickly locked
my door on the outside. Then I
tried the key in his, and finding it
fitted I locked his door too.
1. heard him scream and howl,drag
down the bed curtains, and rushed
at the door, and kicked,? thumped,
and cut at the wood with his razor,
as he cried :

some brandy-and-water; and tell the
landlord, Flainstead, there's a man

for be says I didn't discover perpetu

I ran to the end of the corrider,
where some twenty hells hung. I
beat on them all, till every person in
the hotel came to my help—landlord,
waiters, chambermaids, ostlers, guests
everybody. I told ,theur of my nar•
row escape, and Of the madman, and
we then arranged to secure him—by
flinging blankets over him when we
opened the door and rushed in.
We did secure the man after a tore
mendous,struggle for his strength
was superhuman. We then tied his
hands behind him, and sent for the
police to put a straight•waistcoat on
him to take him into custody.
Next day his keepers arrived , and
took charge of him. It appeared that
he was a professor of St. Bee's, seien •
Otte inventor, who had gone mad
partly from over study, but still more
from being rejected by a lady. Ev
er since thatrejection, be had inken
it. into his head that hewils so duper
anly hideous that no one, male
or female, could bear to look at him;
and he had in consequence taken a
marked hatred to all mirrors and
looking glasses, which he had made
a rule of destroying wherever he
found them.
A MONSTER IMPROVEMENT,
Erection of Two Hundred and Forty
_Dwellings.
The greatest improvement of the
age is that which is now progressing
in the northern section of Philadel
phia, consisting of the erection of no
less than two hundred and fifty dwell
ing houses on the site formerly oceu•
pied by Camac's Woods. The build.
ings stand in eight rows, in Eleventh
street, Marvine street, 12th street,
Caruso street, and 13th street each
one extending from Montgomery to
Berks streets. The buildings in the
main are all constructed alike, those
on the corners being fitted up for
stores, They are all three stories in
height, with small grass plots in
front, surrounded with neat and
handsome iron- railing.. They con
tain all the modern improvements of
the day, being supplied with gas,
bath rooms, and many other conve
niences. Each house contains on
the first floor a large saloon-,, parlor,
dining room and kitchen. The up
per stories contain a sittingroom and
four bedrooms, with a back stair en
trance. The corner houses on Berks
street have largo bow windows on
the first and second stories, with a
ten foot side yard. Taken all togeth
er, the houses are commodius and
roomy, and such as are now needed
and much sought after.
The row on Eleventh street, it is
calculated, will he ready for occupa
tion in two weeks, while the whole
block will be completed by the first
of next May. This is, without doubt,
one of the most gigantic enterprises
ever undertaken in that city. The
construction of these dwellings will
populate a section of the city, here
tofore nothing but barren lots, and
will much increase the value of real
estate in that neighborhood, thus
stimulating others to engage in sim
ilar enterprises. Besides this, a great
improvement of this kind gives em
ployment to hu ndreds df workmen - -
the,most deserving class of our corn
inanity, and irivolves in it the invest
ment elan immense capital. Those
who have not visited that section
since the commencement of these
buildings could scarcely realize the
change. The place was formerly a
great wood, and was a favorite place
of resort for parties, picnics, &c.—
The wood has now disappeared arid
in its place stands a group.of neat
brick houSes, which on account of
their similarity present a pleasing
picture to the spectator. As soon
as these buildings are finished, the
same party contemplate the erection
of , One hundred'and eighty more of ta
larger size and'Of more cost. They
will occupy, lots irinnediately north
of the ,present: ones.

LOST JEWELS
The death of an obscure German artist;
and the recent revival before one of the
Paris courts of the celebrated diamond
necklace cause celebre, bring to mind a
singular adventure which caused some
years ago great scandal at the Court of
Munich. Before Lola Montez went to
the capital of Bavaria, King Louis' atten
tion was attracted by a German prima
donna, Charlotte Kendrick. One morning
King Louis discovered, as he crossed the
palace nursery, the floor of the room cov
ered with his children's toys; among
them were several doll babies. He was
then on his way to Charlotte Kendrick's
rooms. He thought that a single doll
would scarcely be missed among the na -,
merous toys which filled the floor. He
put one of them, the first he could lay hit
hands upon, in his pocket.
When he reached Charlotte Kendrick's
lodgings he gave the doll to her child,
and forgot everything about it. While
the King was closeted with the prima
donna, the palate was in an indescribable
state of confusion. A great robbery was
discovered to have been committed in
the Queen's bedchamber. A valuable
turquoise, surrounded with enormaus dia
monds, and worth above $20,000, had
been purloined. The enfortunrie occur
rence was concealed as lorig as possible
from the king, for he had given the jeivel
to his wife, and prized it extretnely. It
could not be kept longer from likn, and
the moment he was informed of it he sent
for the police, and ordered that no pains
should be spared to discover the culprits
whom he vowed should be severely pun;
ished. Several servants were arrested
upon suspicion.
A state concert was given that same
evening. All the diplomatic corps and
the most distinguished company of court
were present. The daring robbery com
mitted in the morning was the subject of
general conversation. The turquoise
was familiar to everybody in the court
theatre. Charlotte Kendrick appeared in
the third piece; it was some favorite, bra
vura from a grand opera. She, wad
dressed in light-blue silk, trimmed with
white lace. She advanced to the front of
the stage and bowed to the sovereigns,
and then to the other spectators. As she
rose from the profound obeisance made;
all eyes were riveted with astonishment
upon her stomacher; there glittered the
royal gem lost that morning!
A buzz of wonder ran around the
room. The King blushad deeply. He
saw at once how the alleged theft had oc
cured. His children, finding the breast=
pin on the royal table, thrust it into the
dress of their favorite doll. He had not
observed it, and had given it with the doll
to the prima donna's daughter. Charlotte
Kendrick did not see the valuable breast
pin until after the King's departure. She
thought he had, for delicacy, adopted this
indirect way to make her a valuable pres
ent; and to thank him aS delicately she
wore it next her heart at the state concert.
The King was obliged to confess what had
taken place, to explain the Mistake to the
prinia donna, who with a heavy heart sur=
rendered the valuable trinket The palace
servants were at once released with a val
uable gratuity in money to compensate
Ihem for their imprisonment.
