Continental.
Mr. Holtzheimer, proprietor of the
Continental, next door below the Post
Office, Fifth avenue, makes It a cardinal
principle in the management of his pop
ular establishment to be always up to
the times, whether in the fitting or fur
nishing of the Continental or the bill "of
fare with which his patrons are daily
favored. Ae a result, the success which
attends his efforts to please are in the
highest degree satisfactory to all, both
patrons and proprietor. The incredulous
should visit the establishment and form
an opinion from ocular demonstration.
The Ladles of the two cities are in•
formed that Allis
.134rtholomew, an ac
complished artist, has opened rooms at
65 Federal street, Allegheny, on the
second floor, where plain and ornamental
hair work is made or repaired; also la
dies' hair dressing done in approved ,
style at the sh3p or at their residences.
Baggage S mas hers.
A gentleman just returned from a trip
to Omaha with his 'family, reports his
trunks stripped of coverings, smashed,
stove' in, and well nigh ruined. Last
year he made a tour of eleven thousand
miles over the whole of Europe with the
same trunks, and on arriving back in New
:York,they showed but little signs_ of ..wear
and tear. At onepoint in the west, on
his Omaha trip, be saw tivo of his trunks
hurled down to the depot , platform .ccoift
the top of a pile ten feetlifgh: - •
This gent.ettranits:experienee is that of
all others who ;repel in the United States;
It is simply , oqtrageons, The rough and.m
inous handling tozwhicb baggage is sub
jetted on nearly all.the. `routes of travel:
One might infer that • baggage. masters
were in, league witlitrunk makers, ree,eiv..
lug a per tentage for all the havoc,. and
milli they . occasicinetr."ameng luggag.
They certainly act tis.if they enjoyed 'a
:carte bfanche from their euiploYers to treat
all - baggage allotted to'their care as so
much lumber or Mils.
"Massachussettelaskytar passed' a law

A Queer Town—Who Lives There and
What They be.
rrrom the Quincy Wills, August '.7.)
Promontory Point, on the Union Pa
cific Railroad, must be a queer " city;"
in fact, must be a lovely village in which
to dwell. The following description,
taken from :a letter written some days ago
by a gentleman at the Point, to a friend
in this city, induces us to think that the
Point must 'certainly, without doubt, be
a healthy locality. It would not suit us;
fluids appear to be entirely too scarce:
However, we give the description of the
place as written by a gentleman who is
"than," and knows all about it:
"We have about foui hundred inhab
itants, consisting and made up of men
and women who , gain a livelihood by
close attention to the following branches
of business: Railroad men, telegraphers,
grocery men, saloon-keepers, restaurant
keepers, cheap clothing establishments,
Chinamen, Indians, dogs, horse-thieves,
confidence men and gamblers. The town
is built almost entirely of canvas tents,
&c. The nearest water to us is nine
miles. ' bring what we use here in tanks
on flat cars; get plenty of everything we
wont to eat, and all kinds of fruit and
vegetables daily from California. So you
see that on that score we are very well
provided for; bat for the balance I can't
say as muc h; yet, as the boy said, • It's
better than thunder,' and not much
either.
"The country around here is the most
dreary desert, parched up alkali and sage
brush place you ever saw—very hot
through the day, but cool at night. Forty
miles east of here is the great Salt Lake
Valley, rather.a fine country and full of
Mormoms, who hate and despise a Gen
tile worse than the poison; but if ever
the two companies settle their difficulties,
and get the junction permanently estab
lished anywhere in the valley. they will
have to come to time. It would not be
such a bad place to I live anywhere
in the valley, but here, 0 Lord, deliver
us ! We live in hopes that it won't be
long until we will be moved from here.
Last week we had a man shot here, and
another stabbed, and the same day a prize
fight, and now, while I write, the
'bruisers' and 'fancy' , are congreuated
across the street, and are having another
fight for one hundred dollars aside. The
contestants for the prize are two gen
tlemen (?) whO rejoice in the euphoni
ous titles of 'Horse Thief Joe' and
'Smoky Hill Jack.' They are fighting
in a large tent. Admission $1,50. Front
seats reserved for ladies (?). I . can tell
every time one of them gets in a 'winder'
from the shoulder, or 'goes to grass,' by
the shouts and yells that arise from their
admiring audience. You ought to be
here to see the gamblers 'go for' the pas
sengers with three-carte monte and otber
nice little games. Yesterday one fellow
lost $1,300 before he found out it was not
a square game he was playing. Oh, its
nice out here."

There are thas two countries which
have a greater debt than the United
States, viz: Great Britain and France,and
four in which the debt is greater per head
than with us, viz: Great Britain, Hol
land, France's= Greece. There is this
important difference in our favor, that out
debt is rapidly diminishing, promising to
be extinguished within a generation,
while the debts of most other countries
are increasing annually. Then, too, ex
ertion either of muscle or brain, and the
use of money, are paid for so much more
liberally in the United States than in Eu
rope, that the proportion of individual
debt to the average annual earnings Is
very much less within than in those coun
tries having a smaller per capita debt.
OUR young readers will find much in
tereat and pleasure in the following expe:
iment for changing the color of flowers:
Fake a teaspoonful of flour of sulphur,
place it in an old saucer and set fire to - it
with a common match. When it gets
fairly burning, take some high.colored
fidwer—double ones are the best—and
hold it above.% at such a distance as to
prevent its being burnt by the flames of
the sulphur, and the tips of the petals will
be changed into another color; for in
stance, a doable purple dahlia will have
the petals tipped with white, or a double
red one will become tipped with yellow,
and if the flower is expoded long enough,
the whole flower will become changed in
color. Care must be had not to inhale
the fumes of the sulphur, nor should it be
done in the house, for it may fade the
color' of the cfirtairui. papethangings, or
furniture, besides filling the house with
unpleasant lames.

TUE latest fabrication from Cuba has
been about the battle off; Los Tunas. The
Spaniards reported a great victory there;
with theusands engaged. The Cubans, to
be even with the Spaniards, reported
that they gained the victory. It now ap
pears that there was no battle at all, al
though the forces engaged, the number
of killed and wounded and the incidents
of the'fight were stated with great- ml.
nnteness. This is another warning to
'believe 'very, little that may be told about
MADAME DETCHELLES Is said to have
been the chief loser by Eugenie giving
up her Eastern trip. ,She makes that
lady's bonnets, and had got up for Her
Majesty a real lova of a bonnet, which
she called "the Oriental bonnet," and
she had ordered thbusands of them,,for
the Parisian ladies, who never feel irippy
unlesitbey can Imitate the costume worn
by the Empress. The Oriental bonnet
will now be a complete failure, And Ma.

6-; SCHENCK'S, L PELHONIC
BYELP. SEAWEED ; TONIC AND
MANDRAKE PILLS' will'cure Consumption,
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, if.taken accord-
Ing to directions. They are all three to be taken
at the 'tune time. They cleanse the stomach. Yet
lax the 'lvor and put lUto work; then the appetite
becomes good; the feted digests and makes good
blood; the paUent begins to
_grow in flesh; the
diseased matter ripens into the lungs, and the
patient outgrows the disease and gets well. This
is the only way to cure consumption.
To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck, of
Philadelphia. owes his unrivaled success in the
treatment of palm:mazy Consumptdon. The Pal
monk Syrup ripens the morbid - matter in the
Dings, nature threws it off by an easy expectora
tion, for when the phlegm or .matter Is ripe a
slight cough will throw it off. and the patient has
rest aid the lungs begin to heal.
To do this, the Seaweed '/ordc and Mandrake
PllL must be freely used to cleanse the stomach
and liver, so that the Pulmonic Syrup and the
'food will make good blood.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver,
removing all obstructions. relax the dusts of the
gall bladder, the bile starts freely. and the liver
is soon relieved; the stools will show what the
Pills can do; nothing has ever bee a Invented ex
. cept calomel (a deadly po'son wbich Is very dan
gerous LO use un.ess with great care.) WI will
unlock the gall bladder and start the s ecr e t ion
of the liver like Schenck's Mandrake Pills.
Liver Complaint id one of the most pre mlnent
3auses of Consumption.
Schenck's Seaweed Tonle is a gentle st,mniaat
and alterative. and the alkali in the Seaweed,
which this preparation Is made of. ass sts the
stomach to throw out the gastric Juice to dissolve
the food with the Pugmonlc Syrup, and it is made
into good b. ood without fermentation or souring
in the stomach.
The great reason why physicians do not cure
Consumption is, they try to do too much; they
give medicine to stop the cough, to stop chills, to
stop night streets, hectic, fever and by so doing
they derange the whole digestive powers, lock.-
Mg up the secretions, and eventually the patient
sinks and dies.
. .
Dr. Schenck, in his treatment, does not try to
stop a cough, night sweats, chills or fever. Re
move the cause, and tkey will all stop of their
own accord. No one can be cured of Coasump
tion, Liver Complaint. Dycpepsis , Catarrh,
Canker, Dlcerated - Throat, miles. the liver and
stomach are made healthy.
If a person has consumption, of course the
sings In some way are diseased, either tubercles,
abcesses, bronchial irritation, pleura adhesion.
or the lungs are a mass of Inflammation and fast
decaying. In suckeases what must be done? It
is not only the humors bat are wasting. bat it is
the whole body. The stomach and liver havelost
theirower to make, blood out at d. Now tile
only c hance is to tate Dr. Schenck's three medi
cines, which will bring up a tone to the stomach,
the patient will begin to want food, It will digest
easily and make good blood; then the rettlent be
gins to gain In flesh. and as soon as the body be
gins to grow, the lungs commence to heal net,
and the patient gets fleshy and well. I This the
only way to cure Consumption.
When there is no lung - disease and only Liver
Complaint and Dyspepsia, Schenck's Seaweed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are sufficient, without
the Pulmonic Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills
freely in ail bUllous complaints, as they are per
fectly harmless.
Dr. Schenck, who has enjoyed uninterrupted
health for many years past, and now weighs 223
pounds. was wasted away to a mere skeleton. In
the very last stage of Pulmonary Consumption,
hi. phyacians having pronounced his' case hope
less and abandoned him to his fate. He was cured
by the aforesaid mec Mines, and since his recove
ry many thousands similarly &filleted , have used
Dr. Schenck's preparation with the same re
merkable success. Full directions accompany
each. making It not absolutely necessary to per
