CATARRH.

Twelve Years of Suffering.

5 ; Rl - i . Gentlemen: —About twelve years nlgo. while traveling /with Father Kemp’s Old Folks Concert ‘Troupe as a'tenor einger, I took a gevere cold and was laid up at Newark, N. J. This cold brought on a-severe attack of Catarrh, which I battled with every known remedy for four weeks without avail, and was finally obliged to give up a most desirable I‘position ahd return home unable to sing a note. For three years afterwards I was unable to sing at alle The first attack of Catarrh had left my nasal organs and throat so semsitive that the slightest cold would bring on a fresh attack, leaving me prostrated. In this wayf continued tosuffer. The last attack, the severest 1 ever had, was terrible. I suffered the most excruciating pain in my head, was so'hoarse as to be scarcely able to speak, and coughed incesspntly. Itho’t I was going into quick consumption, and I firmly believe that had these symptoms continued without relief they-would have rendered me an eas{ victim. When in this distressing condition, commenced the use of SANForp’s RaproaL Cure FOR CATARRH, Very reluptantlg. I confess, ag I had tried all the adyertised remedies without benefit. The firat doee of this wonderful medicine gave me the greatest relief. It is hardly possible for ene whose head aches, eyes ache, who can scarcely articulate distinctly on account of the choking accumulations in his throat, to realize how much relief I obtained from thé first application of SAnrorD'Ss Rapicar Core. Under its influénce, both internal and external, 1 rapidlg recovered, and by an occasional use of the remedy since have been entirely free from Catarrh, for the first time in twelve years. Resgectfuny yours, GEO, W. HOLBROOK Wartuaam, Mass., Jan. §, 1876.

DR? SCHENCK'’S STANDARD REMEDIES.

The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs are ScHENOK’Ss PuLMONIC SYRUP, SCHENOK’S Sra. WEED Tonte, and. SoHENOK'S MANDRAKE PirLs, and if taken before the lungs are destroyed, a speedy cure is effected.

_To these three medicines Dr. J, H. Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his nnrivalled success in the treatment of pulmonary digeases. /Theé Pulmenic Syrup ripeéns the morbid matter in the lungs; nature throws it off by an easy exctoration, for when the phlegm or-matter is m)e a slight cough will throw it off, the patient has rest and the lungs begin to heal. To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this, Dr. Schenck’s Mandrake Pills and Shenck’s Sea Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver. Schenck’» Mandrake Pillsact on theliver,removing all dbstractions,relax the gall bladden the bile starts freely and the liver is soon relieved.

Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic is a gentie stimulant and alterative; the alkili of which it is composed mixes with the food and prevents souring. It assists the digestion by tening up the etom?l;:h to a healthy condition, 80 that the food and the Pulg:onic Syrup will make good blood ; then thelungs heal,'and tbe patient will surely get well if care g taken to prevent fresh cold. Sl

All who wish to consult Dr. Schenck, either personally or by letter, can do go at his principal ofiice corner of Sixth & Arch Sts., Phil., every Monday. Schenck’s medicines are sold by all druggists throughout the country. ’ march

Vegetine

Strikes at the roof of diseage by purifying the blood, restoring the liver and kidneys to healthy action, invigorating the nervous system. d

t Vegetine Is not a vile, nauseous compound, which simply purges the bowels, but a salb.(P!easallt remedy which is sure to purify the blood, £nd thereby restore the health. G IR

' Vegetine i Is now prescribed in cases of Scrofula, and other diseases of the blood; by many o fthe best physiciaas, owing to its great guccess ip curing all diseases of thig nature.

' - Vegetine Does not decéive invalids into false hopes by parging and creating a fictitious appetite, but asgiste nature in clearing and purifying the whole syste{ln; leading the patient gradually to: perfect:l ‘health, 3 - nt !

¥ Vegetine o Was looked upon as an experiment for some time by some of our best physicians, but those most incredulous in regard to ils merit are now its moset ardent friends and supporters. S

Vegetine Says a Boston physician, ‘*has no equal as a blood purifier. Hearing of its many wonderful cures, after all other remedies had failed, I visited the laboratory and conyinced myself of its genunine merit; Ic¢isprepared from barks, roots and herbs, each of which is highiy effective, and they are compounded in such & manner ag to produce astonishing resnlts.” : ke

" ege tine Is acknowledged and recommended by physicians and apothecaries to be the best purifier and cleanger of the blood yet discovered, and thousands speak iu its praise who have been restored to health. . ; T PROOF. 3 Boston, Feb, 13, 1871, * Mz. H. R. STevENS: i Dear Sir—About one year since I found myself in a feeble condition from gereral debility. VEGETINE was strongly recommended tome by a friend” who had been much benefited by its use, I procured the article, and after using several bottles, was restored to health and discontinued its use. I feel quite confident that there is fio medicine superior to it for those compiaints for for which ‘it is especially prepared, and would cheerfully recommend it to those who feel that they need something to restore to per—fect' health. 1 .

Seymour’s Opinion, (Detro it Evening News IXterview.) Reporter—*“What do you think of the Cabinet, Governor?” | -« : Gov. Seymour — “Oh, |(smiling), it has elements of weakness and :of strength., If Hayes thinks to gain the support of tlie conservative men of the north and the Demderacy of [the south by making John %herman one of his advisers he will find himself mistaken. His record is made, and 1t is radical-- a long array of exhibitions of partisanship, not conservative acts prompted. by a’ desire for the public _good, Schurz’s nomination will please ' a certain faction of the party, but he is visionary, and will find it a severe task to fit his glowing theories to eve-ry-day practice, I don’tthink he will remain long. in the Cabinet. Grant selected his own Cabinet at first, but Morton, Chandler and the other radical leaders amended and substituted.

Reporter—“Do you think Mr, Hayes will eventually yield to their influence?” . . | s

Gov. Seymour—*“He may not, but you know Gg%nt was given credit for having a strobg’ mind and .an unconquerable will. He owed less to those men and the republican party than Hayes. Gratitude is one of the strong forces which control human actions.”

Reporter—“ What do you think of the manner in which the election of President was' finally accomplished ?” Gov.Seymour—“Mistakes and errors are always more easily detected after they are made than prevented in the performance of anything. I was sur:prised to see the Democrats in Congress . giving the electoral bill such a unanimous support. Tilden had been elected both by the people and the States. ~ This was known as well by Republicans as Democrats, and if he had issued an address ‘to the American people stating that he had been elected by a majority of 250,000 of the republic, and calling upon them and the Democratic House to see that he was properly inaugurated, the people, irrespective of party, would have responded by gubli’c meetings in such a manner that Chandler and the other leaders would not have dared to throw themselves in the breach, nor would the House of Representatives had hesitated to do its &lain duty by placing him in the White House. He conducted the campaign with wonderful ability and boldness, but when the proper time came for him to stand firm and announce his unalterable determination to secure justice, he faltered, or rather his friends faltered. He has advisers around him that I should not like to have giving me counsel,” e e

"Reporter—“ What do you think will be the outcome of President Hayes’ southern reconciliation policy ?” Gov. Seymour—*“lf he adheres to it 1t will bé the last of the Republicans. Not that it is not a good move, but it will be _%ubbornly opposed by the party leaders, and will disintegrate the party by intérnal feuds. Conkling takes the right view of it, (by the way, Conkling is Seymour’s brother-in-law) and if his views prevail generzlly in the party, it will strengthen republicanism. The Democrats, however, will attempt to force Morton, Blaine and their class into taking an opposite course,” whereby they . will reap all thie harvest. 'Then men who oppose the restoration of business prosperity, will defeat the party to which they belong. St

The bitter senatorial contest in Georgia resulted in the revival of the story of the encounter between Hill and Yancey, the firé eater, in a secret session of the confederate Senate.— During a heated debate Hill called Yancey a liar, whereupon the latter sprang forward to strike Hill, who caught him and threw him violently over a desk. In the fall his ss)ine was injured, and he lag unconscious on the floor, with ‘blood oozing from his lips.: He was taken away, and the members tried to keeg ‘the matter ge: cret, and did prevent 1t from being known for six months, Yan_ceg nevs er recovered; he drooped from a:.iy to day, became hopeless, listless, and vacant, and finally died,

MINNEAPOLIS LETTER. To the Editor of 'lhe&hfidnal Banner: | - - After many years of patient waiting, an intense desire to hear the foremost pulpit orator of the age, = | ~HENRY WARD BEECHER, | ! has been gratified. Unfortunately for myself, Mr. Beecher did not preaxih in this city during his recent visit, |and hence I was unable to hear hi# in that 7ole in which he acquired [that reputation as'an orator which| has been maintained and increased for a quarter of a century. He lectured in this city on Friday and Monday evenings and in St. Paul on Saturday and Tuesday evenings, and through some superior manipulations on the part of the; St. Paulites they secured ‘him for Sunday. I was bitterly disappointed. I wanted to hear him preach, for|it is only in his extemyore efforts that he breaks out into those wonderful bursts of eloquence, haf from his brain, whichhave made him famous. - To th{av—erage listener a lecture necessarily loses much of its fire and force and brilliancy from a knowledge that the same thing has been repeated scores of times, for a stipulated price (in this instance $6OO per repetition), and the speaker becomes, in most cases, only a declaimer, and a listless declajmer at that. fead i o

- True eloquence is said to “lie wholly in the thought,” but in most instances where there has occurred an extraordinary burst of 'eloquence, the “gccasion” has furnished the inspiration, and the spark has ‘been thrown out from'a heated brain. It is t'heJ‘_ hot iron that emits the burning _ssark, the heated water that furnishes the motive power of steam. But B_ejgher onthe rostrum has many characteristics of Beecher in the pulpit. ' The “gld man eloquent” is always a |part of his subject, and though the lyceum platform 'is not the grand| incitive field for the display of his loftiest eloquence, yet even here we are eninled to form some conception of the/ eloquence and pathos of this extraordinary man. His ]

STYLE OF ORATORY" | | defies description, in the same érense that it defles successful imitation. There is in the flan and his manner a union of dignity and fervor, of simplicity and force, as peculiarly hlszownf as the vividness of his illustrations and the freshness of his imagery. Like most men of great mental force| and power, he is the fortunate possessor of a strongly marked face, well developed head, and a stomach that rounds out his physique into that degree of completeness and| robustness which inspires confiaenceiand challenges attention. In a tgg of-voice which at once attracts by#ts mellowness and a manner which has an appearance of perfect sincerity, he at once puts his audience into complete sympathy with himself and his subject., Without seeming effort, he gracefully ‘la)ti,jxis premises on which to build his Yg‘u-' ment, and then as he proceeds with consummateskill and convincing ¢learness to unfold his subject the ~h}arer is no less impressed by his refined and elassic diction, and vivid illus}:raftioris drawn from every ‘sphere ofghlhman life and thought, and the. bojuqdless realms of nature, than by his intense and dramatic earnestness, the justness and elevation of eyery sentiment, and a pervadipg depth of passions breaking forth at times in passages of startling power or tenderness. T Under his masterly handling the uninviting subjects, “The Ministry of

Wealth” and “Hard Times,” were madesparklingly brilliant and intensely interesting. ~ Wit and logie, humor -and argument, comedy and melodrama are so clearly interwoven |'that without knowing it the hearer is instructed and comnvinced, amuseq and impressed; without knowing it the hearer is forced to think, and think rapidly to keep pace with the spé[:iker, and every point is so clearly elucidated that you anticipate and the mind unconsciously runs out after thos%e secondary and collateral trains of th(?‘)u‘ght which the clear 4nd forcible presentation of the subject naturally suﬁgest, In short, Beecher plows the main channel of his subject with such force and clearness, such certain and well-de-fined progress, that the hearer oxj deck not only takes in the compass of the whole stream, but the shores on ?'ither side and the tributary rivulets here and there that break in upon and swell the volume of the current. In person, manner and Sentimentt)f his utterances, any comparison between Beecher and his ambitious legal antagonist, o o

THEODORE TILTON, | : must prove extremely odious, eyen tothose who have a leaning sympathy toward ‘the latter. 'Tilton de]ivered his celebrated lecture .on.the “Problem of Life” in this city last fall, and if the appearance of a man i% any index to his character, or the moral tone of deliberate -utterances any index to the natural goodness and uprightness of human life, Beéecher is more sinned against than sinning. Beecher’s style and!'deportment is that of a sincere and noble-hearted christian gentleman; Tilton’g tg\at of a swaggerish, conceited, aelt-,eloivated » egotist, Beecher delights in lofty sentiment; Tilton in airy rhetorie.L The one attracts, the other repels, by his style. I can best indicate 'hat' I{ mean by giving, from memogy, the gist, as lawyers term it, of their respective lectures, in a single qu«%tation : —being the pivotal point on which | their lectures hinged: B ~ Honesty, fidelity and truth are the three great words on which charity, eivilizazion - and religion qtm%, -ang. without whieh-there __gpulc,}‘ be no ciyilization or religion.—Rßeecher. | | The star that's set will rise again,. but the star that’s lost is z‘mr’o forever—Tilton. - B BEECHER'S PERSONAL mmnfncn. ; ke s fonto and name, which arg

familiar as household words, is doubtless well known to most of my readers. Although up in the sixtils, he looks just like his pictures of twenty years ago - strong, vigorous and clearcut in feature,—with the gexce’pt‘;io'h that his hair, represented as luxuriant, is now thin and gray, but still worn long and thrown back fram a | high and well-proportioned forehead in true collegiate style. Short and stocky in stature, he looks like a man who is well fed and at peace with all the ‘world (except. Tilton). and with no poor relations to bother around. His face is clean-shaven and his complexion florid. 'His mouth and nose are both large, his lips thick and loose, and his eyes almost hidden behind i ﬂ'abl'by eye-lids. But when ﬁred‘up, hig"whole appearance seems to undergo a transformation which makes him look youthful again. e

* Like the celebrated Nantucket liv-ery-man, Mr. Phillip Quatty, who believed that he had lots of elequence in him if he could only get “well under way” (but who never did, I believg,) I feel that I could hayve got the “ri'gwg" on a report of Beecher if I could ®nly have heard him preach. With Phillip Quatty, I"give it up.

MINNEAPOLIS BUSINESS IN‘ 1876.

. I am aware that statistics are dry Pt_l‘)ings, and, to the average reader, f%f)»i'oper subjects to “skip.” lam aware iljtoo, that when they relate to sister towns they are liable to create envy “and-jealousy’ and hence it is with no ‘ little trepidation that I beg to submit a very brief statement of what Minneapolis accomplished in a- business way during the very dull season of .1876. This promising young Com~monwealth has had a double burden to bear during the past few years of financial and business depression, viz: .The everywhere prevailing hard times and the incalculable inj'uries inflicted by grasshoppers.. The greater of these two evils has been the invincible grasshopper, whose devastations affect not only the life-preserving and the in-dustry-propelling products of theState, but the reputation of the State itself. A State should not (but it does) suffer in reputation because of the scourges of Pr(}xvidence. It is an object of fervent sympathy rather than unjust condemnation under such circumstances, and when amidst the devastation and waste and ruin of such a scourge the leading city of the State can make such a favorable showing “as Minneapolis can make for the year .1876, it is a record that should be proSclaimed from every housetop throughout the land as an accomplishment. worthy of the men who had the sterling.good sense and moral bravery to act upon the advice of the lamented Horace Greeley to “go West and grow up with the country.” , The tide of emigration may cease, and in fact should cease, during the pendency of such a dark and threatening cloud as now o'erhangs our illfated State, but the time will surely come when from “bebind a frowning Providence” the “smiling face” will appear, and the now grief-stricken and finaneially discouraged people of this State will again hold up their. heads and rejoice in the fullness of return‘ing prosperity, The millers of this city bought during 1876 5,703,065 bushels of wheat, out of which was manufactured, by our twenty, QOurixlg mills, with 194 run of stone, | -

1,185,160 BARRELS OF FLOUR

and 50,945 tons of bran, “These figures are representative.of the business in this line only to the extent of the ca: pacity of the average mind to conceive of the absolute magnitude of their full import. The workers in wood manufactured 200,371,277 feet of lumber 90,004,250 shingles and 25,193,350 lath* The money value of our manufacturing industries.is set' down as follows: : ' o

Flour and whe5t.........:h ... .....41,390,410 Lumber, lath and shingles...... ........ 2,948.335 Planing mills, sash, door & blind fact’s.. 491,140 Migcellaneous Manufacturing........... 3,716,133 giving employment to 4,991 men and: 800 teams. Our wholesale mercantile houses report sales aggregating $5,878,651. New buildings were erected during the year costing $1,107,850. Thus, in the face of unusually hard times, and in the face of the devas. tations of grasshoppers, the industry and progressive tendeney of our citizensmoveth them on,and inspire them with eonfidence in still greater achievements when the era of prosperity shall once more dawn. With all the difficulties which now: “hedge us in,” our people still have hope, and confidéntly believe that “Providence helps those who help themselves,” and that “There is a Divinity which shapes our ends, Rough-hew fthem as we may.” * March 8, 1876. s BUHI G e ————t T &L — 2 Blatant Bob Blows His Bugle. NEW YORK, March 14.—C01. Robert G. Ingersoll, of Illinois, lectured tonight at Steinway hall to a large audience on “Political Questions andAnswers.” In regard to the policy of ‘the President the speaker said that there must be peace between thenorth and south, and that President Hayes had taken proper and noble means for bringing about unity and friendship. He-has joined the hands of the north and south and asked that hatred be buried and that friendship shiue forth. In the speaker’s opinion the President had a perfect right to select his awn cabinet without reference to party or politics, and the country and ‘all honest men will stand by him in his actions. The speaker then reviewed each member of the cabinet, and declared himself amply satisfied with them, individually and collectively. If President Hayes finds ! his present policy fails,.he can and will change it, but he ought to get a fair trial- He has. offered the olive branch to the S(;xlxthem p%t;;tfeaihand,letkg honp:l t;ggg_,, ‘Wiﬁ{.’ a b;i“iant and eloguent perara‘tion, suppligating the south to join ‘hands again with the north and bury forever past hatreds.

James Kingan—Murder or Suilcide? Considerable interest is manifested in this city over the reported failure of Mr. James Kingaﬁ, the great __Tpork packer, at New York. His liabilities are placed at nearly $1,000,000. - The interest here centers in the fact that he married Mrs. Bulger—nee Nellie Seely—daughter iof the late Charles Seely, of this city: Xingan has abandoned his wife and as may be imagin=ed, the poor lady has been plunged into. the deepest distress. What xgakes her position more sad is the fact that last week she gave birth to a child, and had not fully recovered from the subsequent’ illness when the double blow of her husband’s abandonment and. her destitution fell suddenly upon her.—Goshen Times. i

Kingan, the missing New York prcduce dealer, who recently failed, was found dead the 14th inst. on the Intercolonial railway, near Weldford, N.B. He was stabbed in the head and arms: and his throat was cut. A tgbket for passage to England was found on his body. Two empty pocket-books were found beside the body, and $8,770 in bonds and notes, and a gold watch in his pistol pocket, which the thieves had not found. His body had been placed on the track from which it -was thrown by a train.—Detroit Evening News. | i

The sensation of this morning’s4ispafches is the dramatic death: of Jas. Kingan amid the snowy solitudes of the Canadian woods. His end is the crowning mysbery of his flight.— Whether it was suicide; or a most brutal ' murder for money, .is the first. point to be settled. Afterwards it will be time to ask«why he fled, “fhy\ he took passage for Europe under an assumed name, and. why he-so_ soon abandoned this purpose to penetrate to the bleak regions of interior Canada.—lnd.

i Brace Them Up. (From the Elkhart Review.)

If the churches would reap the ripe harvest of the religious awakening, if they would not fall short of their full duty to those who have been converted, they must not stop with the emotional change which has taken place, but must build up inthe new converts’ a stability of purpose and a fullness of intelligent faith which finds expression in progressive christian life. The “feeling” which to-day fills- and stirs the young christian must to-mor-row give place to a steadier! jand stronger purpose. = Each day should add, not only to the richness of experience, but to the intelligence of the faith. The churches must notdepend upon keeping up an emotional religion in the converts, but must lead them' step by step to a knowledge how to measure; their own necessities, and an intelligent appreciation of the lacks in their characters. The new religion must be a motive, a maih spring, not to sentimentalﬁself-recriminutions for. past disobedience, but to active, earnest repentance, and to the rebuilding of character. Older christians must give the example by word and by deed.” While efforts are making to convert other souls, those who have started op the new road must not be left to themselves. It is not enough to see that they do not return to their old life, but they must be led to a higher development of religion each day. / - - .

Butler on Hayes’ Policy. : General B. F. Butler was in- New York on the 13th inst., and was interviewed. IHe.commented favorably qn President Hayes' southern policy, and said he favored any policy calculatéd‘ to restore quiet and peace in the South. He thought the President’s poliey, so 1 far as indicated, was aceeptable to the people. As to Louisiana; he beiieyed if the protection of the general Gov ernment were withdrawn-the Democrats would quickly get possession of the State house, if it had to be done over the dead bodies of their opponents. It might be the best thing to, do,however, though at such a cost. .| Butler favored Hayes’ new cabinet as being formed (}f men of practical experience. .. Of Mr. Key, however, he knew little save this: lie/fought on the rebel side during the rebellion; and he did not know but tht experience would also prove of value.. ¢ Butler said 'he would be glad if the. power of controlling 'appointments were taken out of the hands™of Congressmen; it was a disagreeable matter, the worst part of it being to choose which one of two friends shouid be recognized for an office. His view of’ civil service reform was a change in the public/offices once in four years; if office was much longer conferred it was the old book-keeper and the old cashier long in your employ, who came to look upon your money as Qé’ing their own. ; . e ot P - .

Suppose the Supreme Court hereafter decides the election of Hayes illggal, what, will-become of the binding obligatiorl of his signature to any act, order, or treaty he may sign? Will

not every act he gives legal force to by his signature become null and void? As he isa fraud himself, so must every act of his.

“Before retiring and at a time when it was too late to help him, srant told

Packard he must help himself as he would help him no longer. As between thieves who have'proﬁtgd by the same theft, this was decidedly cool, if not a false pretense. If Packard is not tobe sustained, why sustain Hayes? for have they not both been elected by the same frauds? Here is an’incon-

sistency in Grant.
