T§ AH, PARTICULARLY INVALIDS, Springis a trying season. Indications of sickness should at once be attended to. Fatal diseases may be caused by allowing the bowels to become constipated and the system to remain in a disordered condition, until the disorder has time to develop itself. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of care, is an old and trauthful saying.— Therefore we advise all who are troubled with the complaints now very prevalent—headache, indigestion, disordered liver, want of appetite, naurea, or feverish skin, te take, without delay,’ Schenck’s Mandrake Pills. We know of no remedy so harmless and ‘decisive in its action. It at once strikes at the root of the disease and produces g healthy tone to the system, Pecople never neeéd suffer from any disease arising from a disordered condition of the liver if they would take this excellent medicine when they feel the firse indications of the malady. Familiesleaving home for the summer months should také three or four boxes of these pills with them. They have sn almost instantaneous effect. -%my will relieve the patient of headache In one or' two nu\;’x's. and will raK)idly cleanse the liver of surrounding bile, and will effectually preventa bilious attack.

He Says 1t Is True. SeENECA Faris. Nov. 9, 1876, Mz. H. R. STEVENS: Dear Sir—As you are an entire stranger to me. I want you to know what VEGETINE hag done for me. Only those who have been raised from death’s door can know the valne of such a good medicine. 1 am 58 years of age. Thgee years ago I was taken sick with what the doctors called Lumsaco. For weeks I was confined te mybed. I had three different physicians, without any help. 1 received no relief: I was g great sufferer: finally I becamé entirely helpless. ~ The last doctor told me there was ne help; he said he might possibly save my life by ejecting, morphine in my arms and legs. The encooragement for saving my life by having this done was so small a chance I.conld not con—sent to run the risk. About this time my son read your advertisement in our paper, a testimosny of a pergon who had been very sick with-abont the, same complaint, and was cured. My son went right away to the apothecary store and purchased a bottle of VEGETINE.. Beforel had used the first bottle L found.great relief; I could move myself in bed. ~ After taking three hottles I was able to sit up and move abbut myroom. I continued taking the Vegetine, ahdl wasin a few weeks restored to my former health. The VEGETINE sayed my lite after thé physicians said there was no help for me. .T have had no doctor since. 1f I feel unwell I take a dose of Vegetine, and I recommend it to my friends. Your Vegetine ought to be in every family. My doctor was surprised to see me in good health, He says VEGETINEIs a,good medicine. 1 tell him it cuared me. llg says, ‘*it is true,” I cannot feel toorthankful.

WAS HE BURIED ALIVE?

BY ALFRED B. TOZER. ol e ! .~ Twenty y'ears ago ‘or more, two students were sitting alone in their room at midnight. T : In order that their eyes might he refreshed for the next day’s task, they had extinguished their lamp, and the light from the pld-fashioned fire-place was all the illumination there was in the room. The fire, built at'nightfall, had, by this time, burned well away, and the glow from the smouldering back-log, with 'fsuch little help alone as the scattered and ash-wreaghed stubs and shapes of smaller fagots might lend, made butindifferenq' work in its struggle | with the gloom, for it had crept farther and farther from its strongholds|'in. the corners and wide window redesses until its forces were at least equal possessors with the firelight of the hearth itself, while the small table where the two sat with their pipes and all was no longer a territory of dispute. : :

The students could scarce discern one another’s faces, save when a falling coal stirred up the blackening mass a moment or o to a brighter flash. - ; N t - Perhaps, influenced by’the gloom of the apartment, and ‘the undefinable feeling midnight always brings to sensitive minids, ther conversation had a melancholy and, beside, a very ghastly tarn.; . ¢

“It is far from my imagining, where this will end,” the elder, a prepossessing young man of twenty, \i'as saying. -“I have a mighty confidence in the age,Charley,” answered the other; “and it seems to me that no great evil can come upon mankind.that cannot be thwarted by the intelligence and skill Gou has given so ?many.’j ' “I believe with you,” Charley answered; “but some terrible examples must wake up the mind that is to do the work. The need is great, now, but it will be more imperative before people 'will do aught but laugh at the matter.” ) T

“You think too seriously of this, my friend.” o oot

“I think more of it than is peaceful for my mind,” was the reply; “and I would readily forget if itlay in my power.” ! - For sonre minutes no one spoke. The shadows wére 'growing deeper in the room, and their advance guards were already intruding into- the wvery corners of the old chimney jambs. . “The thought has been with me from my: cradle,” Charley went .on, “and from my earliest recollection the grave has seemed for me a place to- gasp: away my last breath, rather than a resting place formy clay. Thethought has made every indisposition terrible; and I wake often in my Ved with the covering .wound close around my breast, to clutch'my hair and feel a cold sweat springing from every pore, at the maddening fear that I am buried, and have but a dozen breaths to draw from between the hard boards of a coffin.” 4 In hig excitement the speaker left his chair, and paced about the uncertain room.

“I am sorry we came upon this, topie,” said his companion, “but to make amends I will enter into a compact with you. We will not be so very far apart when we are settlad as to make it impracticable. It is this: “If you die first, when I know that you are dead, I will come to you, and, by the aid of the latest ‘science, make a test that shall determine whether all life is gone. I willleave a marriage, t,k;ough it be my own, a funeral,though it!should be that of one I love above all else, the court-room, though - it should ruin my fortune; and do this in the face of all opposition, and if I am in doubt and cannot make others believe, I will cut your throat from ear to ear, so help me God! and you will do the same by me.” | |

The two young men clasped hands. Neither spoke, for the solemnity-of thedarkening room, and the other shadows that were creeping over their bright hoves, kept their lips unmoved. The clock struck one. : ; In a few months both graduate and left the old university town, 3‘ begin their life work. "~ Charley Andrews went back ;to the little New England town where he had been born, to superintend an immense factory, and James Cleveland made his home in Boston, where he was soon in the possession of a luerative law practice. No young attorney was rising faster :and surer in: his profession than he, and none had-such important trusts confided to them. . One day, in the closing hours of a great case, a lelegram was brought into the courtToom for young Cleveland. He had just arisen to begin his plea when it was was placed in his hands. He opened it carelessly, and read it at a glance. Then a deathly palor overspread his face, and his strong voice had a tremor in its tone'as he requested adjournment. : ; “Impossible!” said the opposition, and the judge echoed the answer.

“Then I withdrew from the case. It is a dead friend of mine who summons me'” ! In his haste to be on his way he dropped the dispatch upon the floor, and the judge, hoping to find some explanation of so strange an action, read it after he was gone:’ - This was all he saw: i “Charles Andrews died at§noon llis last words were, “Tell James Cleveland to remember.” e . It was late in the afternoon when he received the dispatch, nnd late in the evening, before he: reached the town where his friend had died. : As he walked the streets of the guiet place, his mind was troubled as to how he could best; fulfill his promise., It was a clear‘moonlight night, and, as he was in no mood for sleep, ‘he resolved to gratify his curiogity in-: regard to the homestead which had held such a warm placein his friend’s hgart. ‘The direction was pointed out to. him and, deep in his musings, he strolled along. . : o To tell the truth, he was in no doubt about his classmate’s death, and he dreaded the rude eriticism, if not censure, that would unavoidably foilow a public declaration of the natufe of his errand there. 'And yet, he would as soon have cut his own throat as todepart in the legst from his eath. .

‘When he redched} the house it wore a fitting stillness in honor of the whiterobed form within. There was a light only in one room. It moved as he came opposite, and he knew that the watchers were making their hourly visit to the corpse. He saw the light pass through a front room into the back parlor, and then move back to the sitting ropm in the wing of the houkeagain, -~ - A thought eame to him, standing there alone in the still moonlight, which it made him shudder to entertain, and which he still knew, wasithe best thing for him to do. 2 It would be an hour before any one would be in that room again, and all in the house were worn out with long watching and would sleep very sound. Why not creep in by a window, make hig test gnd go guietly away without

being'seen by the parentsor relatives? . It was. the best, by far, that he could do,;and yet there was something so ghost-like in creeping about the corpse of his dead friend at that hour; something so very ghost-like in tampering with the cold frame of the dead, that he shrahk in horror from the idea. | s L ! He thought a 4 moment, and then: stepped over the low garden fence and 'moved carefully toward the house. An| apple falling from a tree whose friendly shelter he had sought, made “him shiver as with the ague, and his, heart stood still half a dozﬁau times at] some slight noise as hecrept along the' ‘line of shita?l‘ow and then bounded ahead again with trebie force. : At last he reached a rear window and raised it slowly. It creaked dismally in'its grooves, but that was all the sound he heard. He propved it up with a broken bough and looked into ‘ the roem. 'J.‘he‘corpse lnay upon along ]

able with the beams of the full moo fightning up its awful stillness. X‘ candle was: burning at.the head and one at the feet. Hecrept in and stood by its side, and raised the white cloth from the face.- It was the same face | he had known so well, only older and thinner from si¢kness. ‘e touched the lips. They were cold @nd hard as marble under his hand. Helaid back the cloth, as though fearing the closed eyes would reproach him with sacrilege, and began his work. - First he bared'an arm to the elbow, and brought a candle from its place. The flesh wash was cold, but seemed strangely pliant in his grasp.’ e Slowly, slowly, as though dreading a ery of pain from the white lips, he applied the flame to the naked flesh and bent down to watch the l‘esulli. 2 blackened under the heat, whitened again; and then raised to g blister.

A New Search for Charley Ross. His Bankrupted Father Perhaps to Recover the £60,6000 that ' he has spent. , i : From the Springfield Republican.

. The negotiations between P."T. Barnum and Christian K. Ross, she father of the kidnapped Charley, by which the former is to offer $lO,OOO for the return of the child, and the latter to promise not to attempt any prosecution of those bringing him back, were finished yesterday. Mr. Barnum’s original proposition was that he should offer the reward, and, if the boy was secured, some arrgr.gement should be made for exhibiting him, by which Mr.'Ross should. have a large share of the profits, and thus perhaps, restore his estate of $60,000 which he has spent in the search. -Mr. Ross ‘made N 0 answer a’,t the time, but: ret&@ned to, Philadelphia to consult with- his wife and her brothers, who are wealthy, and met Mr. Barnum in the Haynes House yesterday to accept the offer, with the condition that, if the boy is found, it shall be diseretionary with the family either to reimburse Mr: Barnurjor arrange for the child’s exhibltion,. The railread-and telegraph

companies have given Mr. Ross the free use of their facilities, but he has nevertlieless spent all his means, and is practically ‘bankrupt. The family cling t¢ the hope that the child 1s not dead,.and base it largely on the ascertained |fact that he was living at the time 4116 abductors were killed on Long Island, five months after he was stolen.{ - e : Mr. Barnum hfis published the following: _ - . I will pay slo,ooo'in cash for the delivery/ to meialive of the kidnapped child Charley Ross, or for information that will lead to his recovery. 1 most solemnly and sacredly pledge my word qf h(??;or and my reputation as an upJight/business man not to attempt for myself to discover the identity of the persqns negotiating with me in this matter, nor to convey to any other persou dny hints or clews by which any “accupation, or even suspicion, shall be dire¢ted against them. The parents Jof 't%)e child unite with me in this pledge, and agree, if their darling child fis by this means restored to them, to abandon all attempts to punish any person connected with his abduction or goncealment; they agree never to appear against such parties, an‘:} with myself will use every endeavor to shigld them from exposure. Por the past three years these parents have/ suffered more than death, and, now that Mosher and Douglass, the real abductors, are dead, it is hoped that the pg#rsons who have the child in custody will be willing to accept this reward and immunity. The reward shall be p@id in current money as soon as the child is identified by its parents. As %n additional security to the persons Dbringing him, a reasonable time:shall elapse between his delivery and the public annauncement of the fact, that, ithe parties delivering him shall have /;fevery opportunity to avoid discovery.

The Growtli of Elkhart. No town in Northern Andiana can show so remarkable a growth as the city of Elkhart. Its present pop®ation is about 7,000. The following items, clipped from the Review, will throw some light upon the subject of that city’s wonderful progress: Mr. S. E. Barney recently enrolled the school children of this eity, and has kindly furnished us with his figures.. The total number enrolled this year:is 2,584 against 2,192 last year, or an increase of 342 over the previous enrollment, The pringipal increase was found in the fourth ward” .In addition to these figures,'Mr. Barney informs us that he‘found»ovqr 160 more families in the.city than last year. This indicates a hiealthy growth, and shows that our city is still holding her own with neighboring towns. Goshen claims 1,252 school ¢hildren, which is 1,282 less than we haye, while South Bend has 3,138, or ounly 604 more. : :

- The change which the past six years have wrought in this city is remarkable. Tosay nothing of the manufacturing .interests which .have sprung up, of the development of industrial resources and the large increase of: mercantjle interests, the improved appearance of the city as a place of resi—y dence is worthy of remark. Streets that six years ago were barren of shade, without sidewalks, u“natttact—l ive and but half cared. for, are now handsome with shade trees, well-kept lawns, tasty fences and pleasant-look-ing houses. The past six years have already remodeled Elkhart, making out of almost unforbidding material as pretty a city as can be found on the line of the Liake Shore railrvad. = The enterprise of private citizens has done much toward this marked improvement, each striving to outdo the other in beautifying his héeme andg its surroundings. Strangers gre impressed with our handsome streets, and residents of the place cannot hide their, gratification at the change. T

- The immediate effect of the postponement of. the session of Congress till the middle of October will be the reduction of the army establishment from 25,000 to 19,000 men. All the preparations fordisbandment have begun at the War Department. This is the only way in whichithe law can be obeyed. Money mugtibe unlawfully taken from the treasury for the support of the army between the first of July and the fifteenth of October. or this large reduction in the force nrust be made, Rather than summon Congress in extra seéssion MI’;; Hayes. and his cabinet have chosen the latter altermative. This is a result over which few people will grieve, -

I'v issaid that President Hayes is the owner of 3,000 acres of mineral lands in Virginia, In course of time this property may -become valuable; at, present, we would hate to; pay the taxes assessed against it. . _

Beauregard on the War. - How the Old Confederate Leader Would Conduct Operations : : . Against Russia. 4

_ It has just come to light thatin 1866 the newly inducted Charles of Hohenzollern, Domnitor Prince of Roumania, tendered tcg Gen. P. G. T. Beauregard, then living in Paris,the command of his armies, with the rank'of FieldMarshal, a complete outfit, and $lOO,000 a year pay. General Beauregard - was to be at liberty to select his own staff and certain other officers, and to designate their rank, It was promised that the army ‘should be kept at a minimum of 100,000 men. The General, however, declined: tﬂg,—offp‘r-_andi returned to New. Orleans, where he now is. { He'has written a letter, under dateof May 10, in which he refers to this offer and expresses his. warm sympathy with the Turks, “befa{use‘ they are the weaker party and are'defending their homes and firesides.” As to the pretext of 'war+—<the protection of the Christians”—he says: “It reminds mej-of the complaint of the wolf drinki 1g at the same spring

If I were in command there I would fortify those lines well, and with 'my iron-clad gunboats ;I wouldzﬂvevent the construction of any bridgés across the Danube. I would send General Forrest with twenty-five .or i thirty. thousand cavalry to destroy all the devots ;of supplies, railroads and bridgesi from the Danube to Middle Russia, thence to some port of the Black Sea, where I would transport his command to some other favorable point, say in the rear of the Russian | forces operating in Asia, south of the Black Sea, Forrest would be provided with eamels to transport his light fleld artillery, baggage and ligh{c poritoon trains. He would have ialso a full supply of carrier-pigeons t 6 keep me posted as to his movements. My fleet in in the Black Sea would keep it free of the enemy’s ships. I would destroy their supplies at Odessa and any other [ia,qrts on the Black S%t. In other words, I.would bring starivation to my assistance. .How long do you think Russia cpuld stand such a defensive war? : Moreover, I am confi--dent that the other powers of Europe will never allow Russia to get any nearer to Constantinople than the Balkan Mountains,jif even she gets there.

: A Natural Mistake. & A citizen of San Antonio was fond of praising. his dog. He said he was a splendid watch dog; that he; would never even growl at a clild, but at night he would tear anybody to pieces whom he found about the premises. “Ain’t you afraid,” he was asked, “that he will bite you some night when you come home late?”. . .. -

Lol ' “Because he tackeled the Major last night, on his coming home, and bit him in ithirteen places; he won’t be down town for a week.” @ 1 g ¢ “But I heard the dog was intelligent; that he knebw -his step, and wouldn’t bite him no way-he could fix it; that he would not*take $5OO for that dog.” - i ‘ - “The dog ain’t to blame for it,” said the policeman, gazing sadly at' poor Nero, “it was the Major’s own tault.” “How so ¥ iﬁQHired the-man. . =

“Well,” responded the policeman, slowly, “the dog did| krow "his step and never even growled at him béfore; but last night for the first time since he has had the dog, the Major came home three hours earlier and perfect;—‘*‘ ly sober, and somehow his step was very different from what the-dog was | used to; he didn’t tangle up his legs as much as common and the dog was fooled by It, took him for la perfect stranger, and boufced him. The dog ain’t to blame; he missed the smell of whisky; he didn't hear the Major: ‘whoop and cuss and fall into the cellar, as he.always does when he ¢omes homwe, so Nero kept on bitin’ the Ma—] jor in fresh places until the family interfered, - Come on, Nero!” and the sag funeral cortege resumed the line of march for:the brush. e

Many times does he draw his pen through lines which express his sentiments, but which he fears may be misunderstood, and do harm to some of, those whom he desires to make better, and not worse. It isnot an easy position—it is scarcely a desirable one; and yet, if he happens to express a sentiment which does not suit the reader,thelatter iis uncharitable enough to lose no time in censuring him. The editor does not ‘always think as the reader does; ‘he can’t. If he did, if he mever expressed a seéntiment: except such as the'reader cherished, what would be the object of taking a paper? Itis certainly foolish to pay for a journal which simply contains a rehash of ‘'what we have long before thought of ourselves.
