The Chicago Resolutions.

Tin following am titerMohrtions adopted ty the tolored dtiaena of Chicago, on the occasion of their recent celebration of the Fifteenth Amendment: Vnuil, Th* ratlfltetlon Of th* Fifteenth OneaOewatto th* OoMUtatlon or the United Stets* tar ths Moaaary number of BUte*. making , Who** nftac*. inwpcctlve or color, race, or amt. a ra« nrlb* Nauooal OoMtltaSen; and, Wubma*. The cairned dttaeea or the Halted < Stets* who have heretofore been deprived of lhl» lM*UmabM right, deu to every Americanoitlarn, i ar* bow invested withit and all th* right* of Amortarn citiaeiiabip; therefore, >m*liig. By the colored citizen* of Chicago, In ■a** meeting amembled. that we recognize In thlr Anal triumph ot right over wrong, of justice over Injustice, oppiemlon, and prejudice, the hand of an all-wte*, merciful, and Ju»t God, who h»* purged thia nation of ite aln* ot oppression and prejudice, through blood, but mercifully epored Ite national existence when It consented to break every yoke and tot the oonreaaed go fte*. ' Jtaasieed, Hat in the enactment of thia amendmast to th* Constitution, the cardinal principle* of th* American Declaration of Independence arc IMHy vindicated: that government* derive their JaM powers from th* consent of tt>o governed, and taxation and representation arc inseparable. I Asaofesd That we rejoice tn thia foil and complete vindication of the eternal principle* upon which thia government la founded, not merely becaus* we are the henadcianea of it, but for the reansn that we believe them to be In harmony with the relationship of men to tbeir Maker ; In narmo ny with the reason and conwicno* of men,' and a* a consequence, better capable to promote th* bighorn type of civilization and Christianization, and thereby secure the establlabteent of liberty, jus tic*, and rlrirteonsncrw throughout the world. Jtaaofead, That we ar* fully cognisant <if the fact that the ballot!* the great power in a republican government; that thia power, when influenced by bribery or exercised in the intereat of connpt dealna, la detrimental to the general welfare and subversive of the good order of society ; tiiat it may be on used a* to undermine the very cxlatrace of the government itself: therefore we >-liall over hold this high prerogative of the Anx-rican citiken as a raSrrd trust, to be kept pnre from In trtgne of every kind, and to be always exercised a* th* safeguard of liberty, equality, fraternity. Jtasofnad, That we congratulate our white fellowcitlzen*. irrespective of nationality or creed, that this vexed question of oolor is taken out of the polities of the country, and cannot any longer bemads an instrument in Ute hand* of demagogues to foist themselves into posit ion and place through the boo instrumentalities of ignorance and prcjudloe. Jtssofesd, That we congratulate th* lovers of republican inflfitaUon* throughout the whole world on this greaymteal triumph of the geniusot repuh Itcanism. audThc establishment in thi* country of a government a* enunciated by Lincoln, of ths people, by the people, and fur the people, irrespectIV* of color, nationality, or creed. BssolmX. That the fullness of our joy on the completeness of the victory for the right Is largely modified by the recollection that the groat champion of ths right, the emancipator of our race, the Christina statesman, the unsullied patriot , our be. loved President, Abraham Lincoln, was martyred by the slave power for his devotion to his country andtohutelHty Reeoltvd, That, for this great moral-triumph of the century, the nation is largely indebted to that noble headed patriot and philanthropist, William Lloyd Garrison, who, to use his own graphic language. "Mzed the truni|>cl of God and blew a blast that awoke this nation, then slumbering in the lap of mortal death." jßmaiosd, That we recognize in the great Itepnltlican partybf the country the party ot the Union, of liberty, and the political equality of all men. aad the Ipstvnment In the hand of God, in crushing treason, rebellion and slavery. Jtefoftvd, That the thank* of th* colored citizens of the country are justly due, and, on our part, are gratefnlly- tendered, to President Grant for his recognition of our political equality, as evidenced in his appointment of colored men to office under the government, and for hi* pen-fsieni advocacy aad tofleoftie support of the Fifteenth Amendment, thereby securing Ills memorable and patriotic admonition to hl* countrymen, " Let n» have peace.” •

The Disintegrating Democracy.

The Democracy of Wisconsin furnish a striking illustration that the way of the transgressor is hard. All efforts to harmonize the broken fragments of the party have so far ended in complete failure. Each qmmivjuid village has its local great n*K( vtlrte cnlire platform consist in an undoubting belief in themselves, nnd si profoßMtfc disbelief in any one else. .(Small jealousies, $»«My Idckerfagfl, and little disputes, ana an ambition to be head of a factionsvh&'h scarcely counts as ‘‘scattering ’’ ondne-poUlfat of most places, is the great chMaeleristic of the “ harmonious.” The supiftie unction with which one of these gentlemen announces that he has “ always been a Democrat,” when the war or reconstruction acts are discussed, would furnish Nasby a theme worthy of his pen, and isagreat exciter of the risible muscles of the face. Like the Bourbons during the French Revolution, these men will never learn anything. To their minds, the world has stood stilt for the past ten years, and they are patiently waiting to see it reverse its revolutions, and turn back in its course. Their prophecies and their prophets have been alike at fault. The resistless march of events, and the completeness of the great aevolution, have- made no impression on theirjminds, and they are still looking for a Second Slavery Advent, when they can put on their robes and ascend into the high places in the Government, over the cause which freedom has won and consecrated. The slightest success in the election of a towm officer inspires their enfiiusiasm, and they build air castles on such an event that reach the skies. Meanwhile the great Republican party maintains jits solid front to the floating fragments of the Democratic wreck. It is moved by an inspiration that knows no faltering, and no breaks are visible in its massive line. On questions of principle, its organization is a unit; on those ot mere detail, it gives the largest liberty of thought and discussion; and its public men are thoroughly agreed as to the general purpose of the party, and the Scope of all its great measures. While these things are so, what hope can disorganization have of successful competition in the political race? On what plea could it hope to gain the public ear, or entice voters to its ranks? All efforts of the

kind have been futile, and the prospects ahead are even worse than in the past.— CWoajpn Btjtudltcan, April 13.

And the Colored Troops Fought Nobly.

Tub celebration at Chicago, on yesterday, by the colored people, of the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution, was an event. worthy of note on many accounts. It is certainly true that the procession during the day was.a marked success. The thousands who witnessed it will agree that there have been few more imposing displays in Chicago. Everything that ought to have been done was done, so far as the public could perceive. Nothing seemed to be lacking. The civic display and the military display were exceedingly well got up, • and appropriate to the occasion. If those forming the procession had been white men, they could not have done better than was done; and white men have frequently, on like jubilant occasions, done a great deal worse. Of the proceedings at the hall we need not speak at length. They were creditable throughout The negroes did their part with great and acknowledged success, and even edat. The meeting, last evening, was a great deal more interesting, instructive, and orderly than any Democratic meeting of the pastfiflcen years which we can now recall to mind. But the. particular point in this celebration by the negroes to which we desire to call the special attention of the public is theiiact that good order and perfect sobriety characterized the day, so far as those engaged in the celebration were conqerped. There was no more drunkenness in Chicago on the negroes’ Fourth of July tlian on any other day. If men will recall ,th* last “great day” the Chicago Dqmoomcy have had—the day of Horatio SCTfflOtfrs speech in 1808—and compare thiskviih Ufai, they will form a very favorabte oVlhfon of the good conduct of the newly enfranchised pjtizens. If there evfflMvas an occasion—which there ncter men would be. justifiable for lislarious and extravagant l»ehavior resulting from th*Jdyinking of healths, It was this when the. negroes celebrated their exodu* tbe ,wui of P° Uti cal bondage, and their safe arrival in a sphere so much and brighter that they might seem 1 *-■

to have taken on a new nature, with renewed capacity for progress, influence, and happineaa. If there waa any intoxication, it waa very different indeed from that of drunken new; aa far removed from it aa the Inapirationa of the poet from the hallncinatione of a lupatlc Seeing what other* do on such occaaiona, the sobriety, and orderly, dignified behavior of the colored people on the occasion Of a celebration so justly Joyous to them, must be set down as greatly to their credit. They behaved nobly. It is a matter in which the intelligent public may well and heartily rejoice, that the negroes held this celebration of their practical emancipation from injustice add oppression. It was an opportunity for the public to judge of the men whom the public had long condemned, and the result of the good and cfeditablc conduct of the negroes la that they have won the respect of thousands who never respected them before. There are thousands in Chicago, hundreds of thousands in the country who have witnessed similar celebrations, who at last firmly believe that the blacks have rights which the while men are bound to respect, and who now, if never befpre, stoutly affirm that the colored troops fought nobly. That they will continue to fight nobly in the discharge of the duties of citizenship in, this great republic, they alone can doubt who doubt the beneficence of freedom and the goodness and wisdom of Him who hath made of one blood all nations of men.— Chicago Post, April s.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. Lkuit Timber— Sunbeams. A Goon Side Show—Afprctty cheek. 1,000,090—A millionaire is necessarily a naughty man. How many Achcrs constitute suitable grounds of complaint ? Some grocers show their grit by sanding their sugar. “ Can you return my love, my dearest Julia?” ‘‘Certainly, sir; Ido not want it, 1 am sure.” “Hurry, mamma,” said a little innocent, with his cut finger, “hurry, it’s leaking” FoßETnoroiTr and prudence both say insure your life. Take their advice and insure in the Washington. Many men nourish a wicked contempt for cold water. They hate the bucket, and consequently soon kick it. Siie that marries a man because he is a go<xl match, must not be surprised if he turn out a lucifer. A Jerseyman, in reply to the charge that women can do no fighting in time of war, says his wife does nothing else. A histrionic party, who had heard a good deal about the “ theatre of war,” suggests that the back seats must be very desirable. The Washington Life Insurance Company is increasing more than two thousand dollars per day, above all losses and expenses. A New York hotel recently startled its guests by putting “ mice pie" in the bill of faro. Investigation proved that mince pie was intended. Titb Detroit Free Press finds another argument against hard work in the fact that a'man recently died within five minutes after splitting some wood. ■ —— A man may be ever go poor, he may be ever so unfortunate, but he need never be hard up for candles so long as he makes light of his sufferings. A Down-East paper says, in an obituary notice, that “the deceased had been for several years a director of a bank, notwithstanding which he died a Christian, and universally respected.”

A tradesman objected, the other day, to receive from one of his customers a note at 30 days, on the ground that he might die before that time. “ Die I” exclaimed the customer, “ who ever heard of a man dying within 30 days.” Th k following advice is from a Newburg paper: Press on, young man, though you be poor. We know a youth who, with only his two hands and a crowbar, opened a jewelry store, and now he is living in a fine stone residence in Sing Sing. A smart old ludy, being called into court as Witness, grew impatient at the questions pul to her, and told the Judge that she would quit the stand, for he was “ raly one of the most, inquisitive old gentlemen she ever see.” Husband. “If I were to lose you, I would never be such a fool as to marry again.” Wife. “If I were to lose you, I would marry again directly.” Husband. “My death would be regretted by at least one person.” Wiie. “By whom?” Husband. “My successor.” The Danbury, Conn., News ot a recent date says: “ Sunday being a balmy day, the styles were brought out. The most richly dressed lady we saw is the wife of a man who has owed this office $lB for nearly three years. He says he cannot raise the money, and we believe him.”

Cavendish, the philosopher, invariably had a leg of mutton for his solitary dinner. On one occasion he announced to his servant that six gentlemen were to dine with him on that day. “ What am I to give them for dinner*’’ejaculated the factotum, in dismay; “ one leg of mutton won’t do for six gentlemen.” “ Then give them six legs of mutton I” was the philosophical reply. They are constantly making the most interesting discoveries of antiquities al Rome. Among other things lately found at Ostia is a portable iron kitdhen; It shuts and opens; when closed, there is one place for coals and a sauce-pan; when bpen, the kitchen is in the form of a star, radiating from this center furnace, and at the endjof each ray is a little furnace, with places for cooking utensils. A clergyman in a certain village desired the clerk to give notice that there would be ho service in the afternoon, as he was going to officiate for a clerical brother in the vicinity. Immediately after service, the clerk, rising up, called out : “lam desired to give notice that there will be nd service this afternoon, as Dr. B is going a fishing with another clergyman.” Mr. E- of course corrected the awkward blunder.

Hahnemann, the founder of the Hom«?opathic school, was one day consulted by a wealthy English lord. The doctor listened patiently to the statement which the patient made to him. He then took a small vial, opened it, and held it under the lord’s nose. “Smell! Well, you are. cured!” The lord asked, in. surprise, “ How much do I owe you *” “ A thousand francs,” was the reply. Th 8 lord immediately pulled out a bank-note and held it under the doctor’s nose. “ Smell! Well, you are paid!” ~ The following anecdote is told of Charles Dickens, who was once present at a dinner party where a young writer inveighed against the world generally, in a very “ forcible feeble manner." During a pause in this philippic against the human race, Dickens said, across the table, in the most self-congratulatory of tones: “ I say, —, what a lucky thing it is yon and I don’t belong to it. It reminds me," continued the author of “Pickwick,” “of two men who, on a rained scaffold, were awaiting the final delicate attention of the hangman; the notice of one was arofised by observing that a bull had got into the crowd of spectators, and was busily engaged in tossing on* here and another there; whereupon he said to the other, ‘ I say, Bill, how lucky it it for ut that wf an up here/”*

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

“ Sweet are the ueee of advenity,** but a very little goeg a good way. Sorrow can never wholly fill the heart that is occupied with others’ welfare. Constant melancholy ii rebellion. Potatoes fob Breakfast.—Take the mashed potatoes left from dinner the day before, mix them smooth with a little hot milk and butter, put them by spoonfhlls into an iron biscuit-pan previously heated, and brown them in a hot oven. They are Very light and nice. To Remove Old Iron Mould.—lt is recommended that the part stained should be reinoistened with ink, and this removed by the use of muriatic acid diluted with five or six times its weight of water, when it will be found that the old and new stain will be removed simultaneously. To raise hickory trees, plow the ground and plant the hickory nutfl in rows five feet apart. Sow the nuts thfckly at first, and thin them out as they become crowded. Plant in autumn, and fresh nuts, for those too well dried will not grow. Cultivate the trees for two or three years, or until they begin to shade the ground. Shoulder of Mutton.—A shoulder of mutton, weighing about six pounds, requires one hour and a half to roast; if stuffed, a quarter of an hour longer. Before cooking it, takd out the bone, and fill the space with a dressing of bread crumbs, pepper, salt, parsley, sweet marjoram, one egg, anil a small piece of butter mixed together.

Polish for Patent Leather Goods Take half apound of molasses or sugar’ one ounce of gum arable, and two pounds of ivory black ; boil them well together, then let the vessel stand until quite cooled, and the contents are settled; after which, bottle off. This is an excellent reviver, and may be used as a blacking in the ordinary way, no brushes for polishing being rerequired.—Scientific American. An exchange says that a great economy In the manufacture of bread is secured by the following proc< ss : Gluten to the amount of ten or twelve per cent, is extracted by boiling water from bran, and the flour is kneaded with this infusion, whereby from twenty to thirty percent, more bread is obtained. The bread, of course, is not so white as that of first quality, but is much more nutritious. Bleeding from the nose is always regarded as an unwelcome event, yet, in the opinion of Dr. Hall, it always is beneficial, preventing headache or more serious illness, and sometimes arresting apoplexy and sudden death. Therefore it should not be immediately arrested. When the nose threatens to bleed excessively, it can sometimes be arrested by putting the feet in hot water,-or by applying a mustard plaster between the shoulders. Balt as a Manure.—A subscriber of the Maine Parmer, a most careful and exemplary farmer, purchased last spring a large quantity of damaged salt for dressing. It was .applied to grain and root crops at the rate of ten bushels to the acre, being spread broadcast after the grain was sowed, and harrowed in. Its beneficial effects were quite marked, especially upon a crop of peas, although the gentleman says he believes himself that he used a larger quantity than was necessary. The Castor Bean.—The California Farmer says: Thus far, all who have raised the Castor Bean—who have given i| proper care and attention —have made it a very profitable crop. It should be borne in mind that the large bean doesnot open freely; the small Illinois bean opens withqpt trouble and is easily gathered. There is a market now for all that can be raised, and there should be no delay in planting. If there were one thousand acres planted now, in addition to all that has been planted, there is a ready market for the crop. A Cellar Well.—A writer in Hearth and Home says: “ 1 dug the well in my cellar in the usual way until a good supply of water was reached; then stoned it up about three feet, making a good reservoir ; then inserted a IJ4 inch galvanized .iron pipe, placed some flat stones over the well, and filled in even with the cellar-

bottom with dirt. The pipe leads directly to the sink, where a good, iron pump is attached. The advantages are, pure water, absolutely free from insects or vermin and all surface rubbish, and a saving of the expense of stoning up to the surface. I am very much pleased with the plan.” How Much Salt is Enough—ln England it is ascertained by experience that sheep require half a pound a week, which is twenty eight pounds, or half a custom house bushel per annum; cows require a bushel and a half per annum; young cattle, a bushel; draught horses and draught cattle a bushel; colts and young cattle, from three pecks to a bushel each per annum. also customary to use, in curing a ton of hay, ten or fifteen pounds of salt. Never fill kerosene lamps after dark, but always in day time. Never allow a lamp to be placed on a mantle-piece, whether the room has a grate or stove fire, as the heat of the same will cause the oil to be more inflammable, and more liable to explode when lighted. It is a common practice in factories to have their lamps hung on wire from the ceiling; they should be removed when not in use, as the heat of the stove ascends towards the ceiling, the effect being the same as in the second suggestion. Do not allow the wick to get baked or crusty; trim it frequently. For diptheria in fowls, take half an ounce of tincture of myrrh, one drachm powdered borax, one drachm powdered chlorate of potash; dissolve the borax and chlorate of potash in three and a half ounces of hot water, and when cold, put in a vial, and add the tincture of myrrh ; apply this solution plentifully, with a feather or camel’s hair brush, three or four times a day, to the mouth and throat, and rub the outside sores with some cooling ointment. Anointment made from white wax one part, lard four parts, is very good ; but much better is some medicated salve, such as many keep by them for burns, scalds, sores, etc.— Exchange.

How to Secure Good Oats for Seed. —A correspondent of the Country Gentleman says : “ Place your oats in a heap on the middle of the threshing floor, on the end that the wind blows to. Get you a milking stool and a small scoop—your wife’s flour scoop will do—and throw the oats, with a light turn of the wrist, to the other eml of the floor, against a gentle wind. A little practice will soon enable you to throw it in a halt circle, and at the same distance. Sweep off now and then if you have much, —the utmost circle of seed, the light oats for feed, and the weed seed to burn. You will now have seed oats worthy to sow, withoijj. buying at $5 per bushel. I have seen oats grown in Sweden until I was years old, but I never saw a heavy scrop where the seed was not selected as above.” Manure and Cut-Worms.—Farmers and gardeners fuller moi* or Jess every spring from the depredations •of cutworms upon theij young plants, cabbages, tomatoes, beets, corn, and, in fact, scarcely any thing of the kind, is left undisturbed by the common gray cut-worm. We will not attempt to offer a preventive, but-will suggest that those who practice manuring in the hill suffer a greater loss than those who apply their fertilizers broadcast. This applies, however, only to coarse manure taken from the barnyard or compost-heap. These pests of the farm work m ainly pt early spring when

the earth is cold and wet, and if there is a dry and loose spot they are sure to collect In it, and if thia should happen to be around a hill of corn or cabbage-plant, so much the better for the worms. We have tried applying manure from tha barn-yard around young raspberry-plants set out in spring, and almost without exception they have been destroyed by cut-worms, while others not manured in this manner have in a great measure escaped. The best method of destroying cut worms that we have ever tried is to catch and kill them, which may be readily done very early in the morning.— Hearth and Iloihe.

What Is Thought of the Surprise Oats at the East.

Myron F. Gowdy, of Somerville, Conn., writes as follows to the New Ragland Homestead: Three years ago a friendof mine in Chicago sent me direct from Mr. C. H. Van Olinda, the originator, a little hag containing one pint of Surprise Oats, accompanied by a circular setting forth their superiority over the common oats, which was that they would yield more, ripen earlier, and were heavier than any other known variety. He claimed that they would yield 133 bushels per acre; would weigh 45 pounds to the bushel, and ripen three weeks sooner than common oats. At first I thought it all humbug, or that the statement ■wax'immensdy exaggerated, but soon I put aside my prejudice and exercised my reason like a sensible man. 1 here had a sample of oats that I knew were vastly superior to any other that I ever saw, but with ine the question was, can such oats be grown on common soil without special effort; nothing short of a fair trial would solve the question to my satisfaction. I sowed them upon about one square rod of ground, giving the soil the same preparation as for the common variety, and sowed them at about the same time. On the Bth of July I harvested one-half bushel that weighed twenty pounds. The next year, 1868, the oat crop was very light,—common oats would weigh scarcely twenty-five pounds per bushel. The Surprise Oats weighed thirty-nine. Last year, the yield of this variety was exceedingly abundant, the weight forty-one pounds per bushel. Compared with common oats, the soil and culture being the same, they will yield three bushels to their two, and will weigh fully one-third more, thus giving twice the number of pounds per acre. I hatta never sown them on land exceedingly fertile for the purpose of securing an enormous yield, to use the account of which as an advertisement. My object has been to see if they were a superipr variety for practical culture. On soil that Is capable of producing thirty bushels of corn per acre with a good handful of ashes in the hill, these oats will yield from fifty to sixty bushels per acre, without the aid of any manure •r fertilizer whatever. They are a white oat, exceedingly plump and large and very early, an important consideration, as they are less liable to be injured by storms and less likely to rust. In these respects I consider them greatly superior to the

Norway, which ripen about a week later than the common oats, I believe. lam fully satisfied that the Surprise Oats are not all a humbug, nor am I alone in this opinion, as I am supplying seed to my neighbors at the rate of $5.00 per measured bushel, warranted to weigh forty-one pounds.

The Privilege of Stockholders.

Twa gentlemen were chattering on the Boulevard; one was a great speculator developing the plan of a magnificent projectj; the other a dazzled capitalist, ready to snap at a bait. He hesitated a little, but was just yielding, merely making a a “few objections for conscience’s sake. Near these two passed a couple of youngsters of twelve years. They were looking into a tobacco shop close by, and one cried out to the other: “By the piper I I’d like to smoke a sou’s worth of tobacco.” “ Well,” said the other, “ buy a sou’s worth.” “Ah ! as luck will have it, I haven't the sou.” “ Hold on! I've got two sous.” “ That’s the ticket 1 just the thing; one for the pipe and one for the tobacco.” “ Oh, yes; but what tun Itodo ?” “You? Oh! you shall be stockholder; you can spit.” Linens. —The Peake brand of Irish linen and linen handkerchiefs are pronounced to be the best in the market, having gained a rcjtutation for strength, durability, and beautiful finish uneqnaled by any ; and are in the highest favor everywhere. They can be found at most any dry goods Atore in the city or country, and can be distingniehed from others by a mountain peak stamped on each piece.

The Brain being the most delicate and sensitive of all our organs, Is necessarily more or less affected by all our bodily ailments. A headache Is often the first symptom of a serious disease. If the nervous system is affected, there is always trouble at its source in the pericranium. And It may be here remarked that as the nervous fibre pervades th? entire frame, no part of the physicaistructure can*be affected without the nerves suffering sympathetically, liver complaliit of every type affects the brain. Sometimes tlfb effect is stupor, confusion of ideas, hypochondriasis persistent or periodical headache. In any case the best remedy that can be taken is Plantation Brrrnns. In headache proceedIng from Indigestion or biliousness, or both, the stomachic and anti-bilious properties of the preparation will soon relieve the torture, by removing the cause. If the complaint is purely nervous—ln other words, if it has originated in the nervous system, and is not the result of sympathy, the Bitters will be equally efficacious.

Cantion.—Audacious Counterfeit!

The reputation which, for many years, has attached to “ Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters,” as the Standard Tonic or tub Aon, and the large demand for the article, net only in the United States, bnt elsewhere, have provoked the cupidity of the oounterfsitino tribe, and it has been extensively simulated and imitated by unscrupulous sharpers. \ The most dating counterfeit of said article, which has been attempted, has recently come to our knowledge. The engraved steel label on bottles containing the genuine bitters, with its beautiful vignette of St George and the dragon, its shield, containing a warning against counterfeiters, and its note of hand for “one cent" at the foot, signed with our firm name, has been copied so closely that the fraud can only be detected on a minute inspection. Tbe dark label is also well counterfeited, and the working on both the imitation and genuine are precisely tbe same, the diflercace being simply in th. execution of the work; that of the imitation being somewhat coarter than the genuine. Other counterfeits are -pn the market, which are in all particulars the same as described above, with the exception of a slight difference in the spelling of our name. In addition<to the above, these counterfeiters have gone so. tar in some instances as to place a strip of paper over the cork and fasten to thtf neck of the botuo, on which is a viguette, and etherwise printed to resemble the general appearance of our proprietary U. 8. Revenue stamp, but upon Inspection will disclose the absence of the figure “4, and the words “fourcents,” Also “United States Internal Revenue,” all of which, together with additional wording, appear on our geanlne stamp. The public are, therefore, especially warned against these new couNTxnrms, and are advised to purchase Hostetter's Stomach Bitten only of houses whose Integrity is above suspicion.

SCHENCK’SIPULMONITSYRUP, For all Diseases of the Lungs and Respiratory Orfans. Schenck’s Seaweed Tonic, for Dyspepsia and ndlgestlon. Schenck’s Mandrake Pills, for Liver Complaint. These popular medicines have now been before the public nearly forty years, and the reputation they have attained renders it useless to puff them. T ousands who have been benefited by their use testily to their merits. It may be asked, by those who are not familiar with the virtues ot these great remedies, “ How do Dr. Schenck’s medicines effect their wonderful cures of Consumption ?” the answer is a simple one. They begin their work of restoration by bringing the stomach, liver and bowels Into an active, healthy condition. It is food that cures this formidable disease. Schenck’s Mandrake Pills act on the liver and stomach, promoting healthy secretion, and removing the bile and slime which have resulted from the Inactive or torpid condition of these organs and of the system generally. This hlngglsh state of the body and the consequent accumulation of the unhealthy substances named, prevent the proper digestion of hod. and as a natural consequence create disease, which results In prostration and finally In death. s Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed Tonic, when taken regularly, mingle with the food, aid the digestive organs, make good, rich blood, and as a natural consequence give flesh and strength to thepatient. Let the faculty say what it may, this is the only true cure for consump'lon. Experience has proved it beyond the shadow of a doubt, and thousands are to-day alive and well who a few years si nee were regarded as hopeless ca»es. but who were Induced to try Dr. Schenck's remedies, and were restored to permanont health by their use. Dr. Schenck’s Almanac, contain ng a fall treatise on the various forms of disease, his mode of tn atment and general directions how to use his medicine, can be had gratis or sent by mall by addressing his Principal Office, No. 15 North Sixth st., Philadelphia, Pa.
