FOR THE TREATMENT OF ACUTE AND
OHRONIO DISEASES.
Electrical Investigation has proved that the 'human
bod j Aolspn the principle of the galvamo hattery. The
brain, mucus and serous membranes, the skin, tissues,'
endfiaids, constitute the'negative and positive forces ;■*-
and every action,whether mental or physical, is the'?
result of thes* antagonistic forces. Digestion, raspirav <
tioni .circulation, secretion, and -excretion are due.
solely to Electrical influence. There is a polar action
established throughout the nervous system which cpu.- ■
nects with every part of the body, esUblißhlnK aid
preserving a proper balance of Jthe electrical eiement; ’
which constitutes health, and a disturbance of which
pauses disease. There are, strictly, but two conditions'
of disease—one of inflammation/ or positive ; tKe 4 oiher* c
weak, debilitated, negative; and as Electricity ;
these two ftf tfce fiction "df the positive and ,
negative current s, all we have to do is to neutralize the

We <to not wish to convey the impression that we

. and axe prepared to practically demonstrate.
dreds of .me of almostaVerT form
pwiouaceA incurable by the best medical pracrittoxLers'
of ithe country* have-been radically ctraKp', some of
them in an incredibly short time, by onr Electrical
treatment. Its great superiority over other,practices .in •
the eureof disease is also sites ted in the fact that, within
the past five years,, oyer fourteen thousand patients
have been treated at this office, abaoit
‘every form and condition, of disease, common to hu
manity, and in benefit or par feet care
has; been effected. Therefore, with these FACTS to
prove opt theory ana treatment of disease, we are will
ing; to undertake aiy of the following diseases, with '
every hope and prospect of sdceese, with very mahy
others not here enumerated:
L ZHseases of the Brain and tfervous. System —Bpi'
leper. Chorea or St. Titus* Dance, Paralysis {Hemipla--
giaand Paraplegia), Neuralgia, Hysteria, Nervousness,
Palpitation of the Heart, Lock-jaw, etp., etc.; also,
diseases of the Eye and Ear. _ .
2,- Organs and. Tissues connected with the digestive
System.— Sore Throat, Dyspepsia, Diarrheas* Dysen
tery, Obstinate Constipation, Hemorrhoids or Piles,
Bilious. Flatulent, and Painter’s polio, and ali affaV*
tloha of .the Lfver and Spleen.
A Respiratory Organs. —Catarrh, Cough, Influenza,
Asthma (when; not caused by organic disease;oX.the
heart). Bronchitis, Pleurisy, Pleurodynia *or mßuma
tism of the Chest* Consumption in the early stages. -
A, Fibrous and Muscular System.—
Gout, Lumbago, Stiff. Neck, Spinal Curvature, fflp
Disease* Cancers. Tumors.
• A Ortnarv and Genital Organs.— Gravel. Diabetes,
. and Kidney Complaints,lmpotence and Beiuinal Weik
. note. The latter complaints never faSLto jieldjrfipidly '
to this treatment:.
0. Diseases Peculiar to Females. —Uterine Com
plaints, involving a xnal-position, as Prolapsus, Ante
version, Retroversion- Inflammation, UUeration, and
various other affections of tae Womb audOvarie*, Pain
ful, Suppressed, Scanty, or Profnss Menstruation, Leu-'
corrhoea.
TO LaDIEB can we recommend this treatment as one
of UH VARIED SUCCESS. Almost innumerable'oases
have come under treatment at our office who can testlfm
tothis fact. Mrs. 8. A FETLTON, a lady of great exseT
rience and ability, has entire charge of .the Ladies* De
partment, and all .delicacy will be used toward those
who entrust them* elves to her care. In female diabases,
ais mentioned in; the. above list, with others not man
tiered, she has had a large experience, and confi
dently promise the most gratifying results.
TO *HE AFFLICTED*
The treatment Is mild and gentle, producinguo shock
or unpleasant seniation whatever. Oar professional
intercourse with the afflicted will ever be
‘by perfect candor and honesty, and those whose com
plaints are incurable, or do not admit of
will be frankly told so, and not.accepted for treatment.
It matters not what maybe your complaint, dr how
long you have suffered, or how much or what course
of treatment you may have been: subjected to, or what
disappointments you have experienced; if the system ia
sot worn out—if sufficient vitality remaiasfor reaction—
there is a fair prospect of recovery,

rural life and making.her next appear as a Queen

" George Geith, of Fen Court,” by F. G, Trar

of fiction of the prosent peason. A tale of English
life, and largely of almost hermit life In the orowd
eA solitudes of London-ifor a vast city may be as
soßtbry as Sahara—lt IS evidently founded upon cir

umiseet&larice extends to the characters.
Eairfiestness, sincerity, and reality are combined
here with true artlstical skill, and the result Is a no

Mr. Bjady, of Hew York, who has republished
“’Castles in the Air,” gives his own disinterested
opinion, on the title-page, that it is “ Mrs. Gore’s

« Cecil,” of her “ Fair of May Fair,” or “ The Mo
nty Lender,” or “Mothers and Daughters,” or
«The Tuileries,” or, above all, of “ Mrs. Army

from first to last, wrote about sixty, works of fiction,
and “ Castles In the Air” Is one of the poorest of
them. Itis the story of a raw lad who unexpected

A certain class of society in London and in Farts
is well described In this story, trad, though thehero
is careless and thoughtless to a degree, one cannot
avoid being Interested In him. Mr. Smedley bo
oame so ill, while, writing this story, that another

.had cessed to exist upon' the expiration of the origi

ever, Is not the case, Inasmuch as, by spselal order,
dated Ootober 18th, 1864, the Battalion, 98th P. V.,
was consolidated with the 95th, the whole to be

I kayo just finished my frugal meal, consisting of
beans and “hard-taok,” and belng.tlie claimant or
a lew leisure moments this afternoon, having just
been-relieved from guard duty, I thought I could not
better occupy my time than-by expressing through
your popular paper a few stray, thoughts. i
Here we are ensconced In a mass of mud, but we
have managed to erect some rustic little dormitories
nevertheless, and are as. comfortable as soldiers
could expect to be under the circumstances. We
have just returned-from Louisville,’ JEy.,’ where we
obtained about six hundred new horses, our old ones
having given out,’on .our late expedition Into Ala
bama, where we were quite successful, as yon have
already bten Informed,, We,have been armed with
the- “ Spencer rifle,” whloh, as the “jrebs” say, are
equal to seven men on ope huso. , - ,
We are now making preparations for- the march,
destination unknown—at least to ns, as privates are
supposed to be “ know-nothings,” but to attend to
their duty. Rumor-says we Are going to Knoxville,'
Tenn., then Into North Carolina; but, as I have
already said j privates know nothing about future
movements, hence the unreliability of tho rumor.
But we have a colonel who- knows something,-and
he Is a strong advocate of the word “ fight,” anfi he
has long Ore thlß'learned his boys his-motto. Ho
has taken us Into,rather tight (paces, and is just
sharp enough to take us oitt (our campaign amongst
the mountains of EastTennossoe speaks fir Itself).
We bear to-day he has been recommended by some
of our prominent generals as being able to support
a sfar. Without partiality, I think the colonel well
deserves the rank of brigadier general, and I think
I speak the opinion of all the regiment. Hla fight
lng qualities have .been exhibited -too frequently to
pass the notice of some of oiir bravo generals—such
ns “ Old Rosy,” alias Major General William S.
Rosecranß; “Old Pap,” alias Major General Geo,
H.: Thdmas s “ Fighting Joe,” otherwise Major
General Joseph Hooker, and some: mors or our
Western fighting generals who knowhowto deartho
dose to the “Johnnies.” Hels’tC command a brigade
under Gen. Stoneman. ■’ W# expect soon to join him
(aen. sioneman) in East Tennessee • then look out,
“ 15tb,” kow you go j hut we have five months more,
and then I press me, we will go home, having served
our term, of enlistment (three years). I, for one,
would not object'ln the least to see some of my
Philadelphia mends, as It will then have been
three tears since I pne ihy feet upon the sacred
soli of the 1 “old Keystone State.” Let’s step into the
“ Continental” and take a smoke; boys!
We have Keeome quite proficient In the use of the
sabre, but this must be attributed to the rlrld in
struction of onr fencing master (Dig-a-shay)—
English translation—he is a man who i» quite popu
lar in the regiment} he is very generous sometimes,
viz:. relieving the boys of (heir arduous duties, and,
through his Influence, some of the boys get permis
sion to. pass days and nights In the comfortable
quarters termed the “guard-house.” He makes a
very good forage - master •, vegetables dojnot stand
long when he Is about. -
Hallo! here comes the sergeant, and I must hid
you adieu I I thought I should have written you a
letter,.but time wlllnot permit, as my six hours are
up, and I must go on guard again,. so ojs. repair.

county os the .-sixteenth of, December, 1830, and has
resided Is Norrl&town during the greater portion of
hie life, where he now leaves his wife and family.
He was graduated at Union College, In Schenec
tady, in 1803. Employing himself for a,whiie as oivll
engineer, he subsequently entered the sheriff’s office
of Montgomery county, and at thessme time studied
lair. He was in sucaeeeful practice of this latter pro
fession when the rebellion broke out in 1881.- In re
sponse to the call for troops to - defend the national
capital, he raised the 4th Pennsylvaniaßegiment of
three months’ At the first battle of Ball
Ban {the time of his regiment having expired), he
volonteered, and served on the staff of General
Franklin during the battle. Immediately after the
discharge of the 4th Regiment Colonel Hartramft
raised a three-years regiment, the 51st Pennsyl
vania Volunteers, and with them joined General
Burnside's. North Carolina expedition. He led them
in the battle of Boanoke Island, February, 1862, and
in the brilliant charge by which the town of New
bern was.oarried in March fcllowinb,. This achieve
ment of the 51st was highly praised by the general
in-command. When the 9th Army Corps wasrecalled
to* Virginia, in August, 1862, Colonel Hartranft and
his regiment fought gallantly at the second Bull
Bim and at OhantUlyi and also In the battles of
Sooth Mountain and Antletam. Iq.the last-named
fight he performed a distinguished part In carrying
the memorable bridge over the Antletam. by which
the fortune'sof. that day were decided. In March,-
1863, the 9th Corps was transferred to Gen. Grant’s
army, then operating against Vioksburg. After the
capture of that place, Colonel Hartranft command
ed the 51st in Gen. Sherman’s movement against
Jackson, Mississippi, part of the time commanding
the brigade. At this time he suffered much from a
sunstroke, and was obliged to return to the North.
In November, 1863, he rejoined the 9th Corps near
Knoxville, Tennessee, ana daring Hongßtreefs ope
rations against that place, he commanded the
second division of the corps. He took part In the
battle at Campbell’s Station. During the siege of
Knoxville, he turned his engineering knowledge to
account by the construction of dams, by which he
interposed an impassable barrier to the enemy’s
foroes.
The 51st Pennsylvania having re-enlisted as vete
rans, Colonel Hartranft rejoined his comrades In
January, 1864. In the following March he was de
tailed to take command of the rendezvous at Anna
polis for the 9th Corp 3, then in progress of reorgani
zation for the May campaign.
Soon after he was assigned to the command of the
Ist Brigade of the 3d Division of the corps, and with
thiß brigade he served with great distinction in the
battles of the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, North
Anna, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, Weldon Railroad,
Beams’ Station, Poplar Grove Church, and Hatch
er’s Run. During ail these, though lh command or
a brigade, he was in rank only a colonel, but at last
his long -and valuable services were, recognized by
Gen. Grant’s reoom'mendation for promotion, and
he was accordingly, appointed brigadier general, to
date from May 12,1864, “ for gallant and merltorlbns
services during the war.” • : ...
There are very few more honorable records than
this of Hartraaft’s. He has fonght in North Caro
lina, Virginia,Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Mis
sissippi, and always with marked distinction—to the
credit of his State and to the advantage oi his coun
try. In his last battle—that of the 25th instant—he
commanded the 3d Division of the 9th, Corps. If
that division remains now as It was organized In
February, it Is composed entirely of Peanßylvanl
ane. His two brigades were then made up of the
200th, 205th, 207th, 203 th, 209th, and 2llth Pennsyl
vania Volunteers. ’ These are the men, under their
gallant leader, to whom the country is indebted for
mt glorious onset which first checked thß rebel ad
vance, and then drove them headlong from Fort
Steadman, the prize which they supposed to be se
curely in their grasp.

A correspondent of the Hew York Tribune writes
from Constantinople, February 26th:
It Is well ■ known to you, I presume, that under
Mohammedan law It is not necessarily the oldest
son of the Saltan, bat always the oldest member or
the family, who succeeds to the throne. The last
Sultan had several sons, bat his brother saeeeeded
to the throne in accordance with, this law. Tne
eldest son of the last Sultan, Abdul Medjid, Is now
next heir to the throne—lie being twenty-fire years
of age—while the oldest son of Abdul Aziz is only
seven or eight years old. But the Sultan wishes
now to change this order of snooesßlon, and set aside
his nephews. He called upon Fnad Pasha, not long
ago, to draw Up a memorandum on the subject for
the great Powers, In which he was to state that the
Empire needed an able man at its head,- but that
the sons of the late Snltan were little better than
imbeciles; that If the great Powers would consent
to the change he would send bis son to Europe and
give him a thorough European education in Eng
land and France, Ao. ■ _ _
It so happens that the present Yloeroy of Egypt
wishes to ao exaotly the same thing, and the Saltan
proposed to embody the two schemes in the same
paper. It is suspected here that Sir Henry Bnlwer
has had some hand in this proposal. But Fua#
Pasha shrank bom the responsibility of drawing up
this memorandum, knowing very well that in case
of the sadden death of the present Snltan, or of
many other contingencies, it might ooßt Mm his
Mead, and he firmly deolined. For the;moment 16 is
• understood that the project Is given up, bat no one
whd knows Abdul Aziz can doubt for a moment that
he will accomplish the thing in some way.
It is tree that the eldest son of Abdnl Medjid 1b a
miserable drunkard and everything else that is bad.
He Is, in iact, not allowed-to do anything but de
stroy himself. With Ms brothers, he is kept in a
tort of confinement, and if ha does not-soon kill
himself, the Snltan will be likely to follow the ex
ample of his ancestors and poison Mm. Still the
plan of changing the order of snceession would oer
talnly shock the Mussulman mind, and might lead
to .lerlouß outbreaks and complications of every
kind.-l am Inclined to think that the plan of giving
the son of Abdul Aziz a European education will be
adopted in some form or other after a time, bat not
at present.
Fuad Fasba oontlnnes to enflob himself and im
poverish the Empire. Last week he received from,
the Sultan a portrait set In. dlamonos, valued at
£17,C00 sterling. He is hated by the Turks more wad
more every day, and I do not see how he can main
tain himself muoh longer.

end to one or both of said young men. Three shots
were exchanged with nobody unit on either side,

Hr. Jay Cooke has published a statement th&£ the
entire balance of the old issue of 7-30 s, $181,000,0:0,
having been disposed of within forty-three days, sab*
scriptioni will now be received for the second series,
which are, in all respects, precisely like the others,
save in their date being June 15. Agents of the loan
have been instructed to calculate interest at toe rate of
seven*ssd> three tenths per cent, on all subscriptions
teem their date, up to. June 12fch next, and to pay back
the amount in money to purchasers, at the time they
' buy. The Treasury note# are ready for Immediate de
livery to subscribers at time of purchasing. These is
curitfc s are so for appreciated in value by the fall in the
~ piemlum of gold as to bring them in.'close competition
with -the go d interest bonds With gold at 150, the
currency value of the interest of.the sir-per-cents is
nine percent, per annum, which isbut 17-10 per cent,
morethan is paid by the 7-30# s while, at the expiration
of three j ears, the latter are convertible into » six*per
cent coin interest bond.
* The London Daily News or Marshl6th says: ..
.Untied states 5-20 bonds were asain heavy, and de
clined %£ per tent., owing to the supply of stock by
the l&ftt packet. The closing quotation was 52# to
53M. ’ Osnada Government five*per-cent; stock remains
-heavy
We were prepared to receive advice! of the decline
of 5-20 s at Loodonrfor large amounts have been sent
thither .during ? the last few weeks bn consignment,
which would naturally depress the price. The decline,
however, can only be temporary, as the demand'in
the German markets would promote a speedy re
covery. Besides, the news of the decline of gold to
lfiQ will naturally appreciate their Value in ail the
European markets. The Daily Nfeto# alto^eporta:
.. Atlantic and Great Western Railway debenture scrip
was very scarce for the settlement, and a “backward.
atlonU of 1 to IK perdent, was paid for the-loan-.of ft.
The price was quofeo 8 to 9 premium for the present set
tlement, and 6 to 7 premium for the sew account.
Fatteithwidie’s cfrcularbf the 15th instant says; The
news by the Buropa of a new loan Of six hundred mil
lions of dollars caused five-twenty bonds to decline
teem 66 to 62#, and continental markets appearing to ba
* fully sut plied, the reeent shipments of bonds have not
found ready buyers' even at the reduced quotations.
Illinois and-Erie share* have also declined one’Aollar
.fromtlte Jrisheit point,

Coffin anticipation of lower prices. Holders of large

Kentucky money has been struck from th« par lilt by
m'oit of tbo banker* of Cincinnati, for the reason that
it is at a dliooont in Louisville on Government notes.
It teems that It bas recently accnmnlatsdit'tbat point
faster than tbe parent banks or branches located there
■were able to take It up, and, being tbns inevitably
forced to a local circulation only, it was thrown out of
the par list. It may bo possible that tbe banks them
selves brought this about In order to got their lisnea in
at a discount, though such a course would be below
their old standard of dealing.
The Cincinnati Commercial* of the 38th, says:
“ Bankers hare larger applications tor loans on irst
olass paper than they accept, and, probably, would sm
much more than they now do.if they were known to be
discounting with any freedom ; but they are not, even
when excessive rates of interest are tendered. There
are hut few quartermaster’s orders offering; holders of
recent issues sr« tudtfferentabout celling recent dates
at less than 97« c, notwithstanding tae fact that they
have no insurances as to wien payments will be made*
and tee beard of cavalry Touchers, tbe preferred class,
which were sold as high as 96c The delay in pay
ments occasions serious inconvenience now to some
of the second hand holders, but these securities, at
the rates that hare prevailed. prove to be so good an
investment that outsid ors continue to sesk them. * *
The destruction of property in the oil region by the
late flood Is estimated at from two to five millions. The
Pittsburg Chronicle says the Urilda, on her trip down
from Oil City, with over 300 passengers, met many ad
ventures, her pass eng ers being almost starred forth*'
want of provisions, which it was impossible to obtain.
A span of the Freeport aqueduct, which was swept
away by the flood, is still lying in She channel, serious
ly obstructing, navigation, and the entire course of the
riv*r from Oil City is lined with melancholy traces of
the devastation wrought by the high water.
The Consolidated Coal Company or Pennsylvania
have declared a .Shl-annnal dividend of five Percent
