Oct. il lt 42 Special Notices. THE.CAOBE AND CUBE OF CONSUMPTION. -Thc primary cause of Consumption is derange ment of the digestive organs. This derangement produces deficient nutrition and assimilation. By assimilation I mean that procesa by which the nu triment of the food is converted into Mood, and thence Into the solids of the body. Persona with digestion thus Impaired, having thc slightest pre disposition to pulmonary disease, or If they take cold, will be very liable to havo Consumption o the Lungs In some of Its forms; and I hold that lt will be Impossible to cure any case of Consumption without tlrst restoring a good digestion and healthy assimilation. The very first thing to be done-|n to cleanse the stomach nnd bowels from all diseased mucus tndr.lline. which ls rlocging these or/rans so that they cannot perform their functions, and then j ro:i?e up and restore the liver to a healthy action. For this purpose the surest and best remedy Is Schenek's Mandrake Pills. These Pills cleun the stomach and bowels of nil tho dead anil" morbid alimc-'that Ls causing disease and decay In thc whole sysiem. They will clear out tho liver of all diseased bile that has arcumulatod there, and roitse It up tc a new and healthy action, by which natural and healthy bile ls secreted. The stomach, bowels, ?ind liver are thus cleansed by thc we of Schenek's Mun?rtfkc Pills; but there remains In Um stomach i?i*<?xces3 of acid, the organ Is torpid and tile nnpotftoy^oor. In the bow els the lacteal* are weak, an?T?equirmg strengt): and support. It is In a condition like thLs thai Schenek's .Seaweed Tonic proves' to bc thc most valuable remedy ever discovered. It ls alkaline, and its use will neutralize all excess of acid, mak ing the stomach sweet and fresh; Lt will give per manent tone to this Important organ, and create a good, hearty appetite; and prepare the system for the first process of a good digestion, and ultimately make good, healthy, living blood. After this preparatory treatment, what remains to cure most caaes of Consumption ls the free and persevering usc of Schenek's Pulmonlc Syrup. The Pulmonic Syrup nourishes the system, puri fies the blood, and is readily absorbed Into the circulation, and thence distributed to the diseased lungs. There it ripens all morbid matters, whether In the form of ob-tcesses or tubercles, and then assists Nature to expel ull the diseased matter, In the form of free expectoration, when once lt ripens. It ls then, hy the cr??t healing and purifying properties of Schenek's Pulmonlc Syrup, that all ulcers and cavities arc healed up sound, and my patient ls cured. Thc essential thing to be done In curing Con sumption ls to get np a good appetite and a good digestion, so that the body will ?row In flesh and get strong. If a person has diseased lungs,-a cavity or abscess there,-Die cavity cannot heal, thc matter cannot ripen, so long as Ute system ls below nar. What is necessary to cure ls a new order of Ihlnes.-a good appetite, a good nutrition, the bodv to grow In flesh and get fat ; then Nature ls helped, the cavities will heal, the matter will ripen ana be thrown oft" In law quantities, and the person regain health and strength. This Ls the true and j only plan to cure Consumption, ond If a person ls very bad, if the lungs arc not entirely destroyed, or even if one lun? ls entirely gone, if there ls enough vitality left Tu the other to heal up, lhere ls hope. j. have seen many persons cured with only one sound lung, live and coloy life tc a good old age. This ls what Schenek's Medicines will do to cure Consumption. They will clean out ihn stomach, sweeten and strengthen lt, get up a good digestion, and give Nature the assistance she needs to clear the system of all the dlueuso that Ls in Uie lungs, whatever the form may be. It ls Important that while using Schenek's Medi cines, care should be exercised not to take cold: keep ln-doors lu cold and damp weather: avoid night air, mid take out-door exercise only in u genial and warm sunshine. I wish lt distinctly understood that when I recom mend a patient to be careful In mgard to takinrc cold, while using my Medicines, I do sn for a special reason. A man who hes but partially recovered from the cfTocts of a had cold Is far more liable to a relapse than one who has been entirely cured; and it is precisely the same In regard to Consump tion. So fong aa thc lungs are uot perfectly healed, lust so long ls there Imminent danger ora full re turn of thc disease. Hence lt Is that I so strenu ously caution pulmonary patients against exposing themselves to an atmosphere that is not genial and pleasant. Confirmed Consumptives' lungs are a mass of sores, which the least change of atmos phere will Inflame. The grand secret of my sue COBS with my Medicines consists In my ability to subdue inflammation Instead of provoking lt, as many of the faculty do. An Inflamed lung cannot, with safety to the patient, bc exposed to the biting Wasts or Winter or the chilling winds of Spring y? Autumn. It should bc carefully shielded Oom ?ll Irritating Influences. Thc utmost caution should be observed In this particular, as without lt a cure under almost any circumstance? ls an Impos sibility. The person should be kept on a wholesome, and nutritious diet, and all thc Medicines continued until the body has restored to lt the natural quantity of flesh and strength. I waa myself cuspd by this treatment of the worst kind of Consumption, and have lived to get fat and hearty these many years, with, one lung mostly gone. I have eurea thousands since, and very many have been cured by this treatment whom I have never Reen. About the First of October I expect to take posses sion of my new building, at the Northeast Corner of Sixth and Arch Streets, where I shall be pleased to five advice to all who may require lt. Full directions accompany all my Remedies, so that a person In any part of the world can be readily cured by a strict observance of the same. 1. H. SCHENCTC, M. I)., Philadelphia. JOHN F.

Five vil lages are entirely destroyed, and two partially. Others .are threatened. There were large stores in these towns filled with winter supplies. A steam er was sent to their relief from Port Huron, and returned with forty per sons, several of whom are badly burnt. All the telegraph offices along the shore are burned. R.-B.

The,tires which a?c mow., prevailing in the six or seven Northeastern coun ties of Wisconsin have never' had a parallel since the settlement: of the country. The drought which baspre vailed since early in August has'dried up the springs and streams, and all vegetation.. andEas.parched.the ground to thc depth of several indies below the surface, that the soil [itself acts as "a conflagration, anti riving trees' are" tailing from the action of the fire, which undermines thom all. Barns and their contents, hay stacks; cord wood and other property, together with hundreds of miles of fences, are burned. No r?sistance can be gffered to the approaching fires. One hundred families ;have been burned out of house, and home, and tho refugees are in Green l}ay and other towns, and'at least one hund red other families, are in equally bad condition. Houses, barns, farm-hous es, bridges, fences, and absolutely everything has been swept away*, and the pine forests destroyed. Bears and other wild beasts have boon, driv en in dismay from thc woods, andar? (teeing in every direction across the holds. The entire population are lighting the fires without success, and many have fallon down suffocated by the smoko and heat, and been carried by their comrades to places of safety. All supplies of food for men and boasts throughout at least fifty town ships have been destroyed, and star vation during the coming winter >taios them in the face. Two EIVERS, October 4. A fire broke out yest erda)* noon in tth'e swamps Northwest from this vil lage, and raged like fury. ir. fired one building in thc village about-three o'clock, which was entirely consumed. The wind blo ss a perfect tempest. The firemen were on the ground promptly, and stopped the progress of the lire. Another building was fired, but extinguished without much damage. In the evening the scene was grand and terrible. The whole region was impregnated with smoke, Haines, dust, and ciuders. The smoke was so dense in the afternoon that ob jects could not .be discovered for the distance of a block. It was with much difficulty that tho mail carrier crossed from Monitowoc to here. Sioux CITY, IOWA, October 5. Reports of terrible prarie fires come from every direction. The damage done at Fremont, .Nebraska, by the fire is very great. Hundreds of tons of hay and thousands of bushels of grain have been destroyed. At North Bend, Nebraska, the fire has been ra ging all day. Several buildings have ' been burned. There is much loss of j property near Bon Homme, Dakota. [ A saw mill and large dwelling have . been burned. An express messenger ', who came in to-night says he saw four 'houses between there and Yankton , smouldering. J Ie also reports several j buildings burned between this city ? and Yankton.

The destruction of property has been-im mense. Repeated telegraphic mes sages do not abate the estimate of hu man suffering. 100,000 people home less ?nd houseless ! The greut heart of this Western giant almost utterly consumed. Thousands in a day who were in affluence reduced to want, and many thousands who, in tne bat tle of life, hadstored up for the wants of old agc their hard-wrought earn ings, have found them all swept from them as with the besom of destruc tion in a nigjht. The - calamity at Chicago is'mademor?appallingin the destruction which preceded it in that area of country which is largely trib utary to it. A terrible drouth has prevailed generally throughout the Xorth-west, and has been- particular: ly severe in.pariSFaf Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin. The drouth has been unparalleled. The Green Boy (Wis.) Advocate, in chronicling an appalling catalogue of the deeds of the firefieDd. says : " We have been for three months almost without .rain. Since the 3th Q?. ^nly lastf^h??" we Lad ali?avy sfto\ver in the night, rain l?as fallen but once (the night of Sep tember 5th) in sufficient quantities to lay the dust." Did our limits per mit, it would be but repetition with out variableness or shadow rjf. turn ing, to recount this!-history of disas ters. -Mills, houses, barns, fences, fuel, hay-property of all kinds were swallowed up by the insatiate element. Families by the hundreds were driven from their burning home steads, to make their way as best they could, with whatever they could save of their stock and household goods, to places .of refuge. The creeks, wells and springs dried up, leaving no resource to stay the -advancing, flames, save digging ditches: The crops in:'the soil-potatoes,, turnips, &c.-are destroyed:' The forests are inaccessible by reason of flame, heat and smoke:; and, therefore, " nothing can b'^'estimated except from the ef fect^of^e^E? near the settlements, where itVpe??trated the parched ground from?one? to two feet, and de stroyed the'life.'of the trees." . But this picture of. the country is repeat ed with .more or less severity in the large area covered by the parts of the States enumerated. The suffering which ensues from these great calamities, terminating in tho grand catastrophe ?it Chicago, is unalterable. Language is beggared by any. attempt io: find expression:for it, or to number its pulsations. But there . are those among us to whom this .picture will recall terrible mem ories. Those .who witnessed or en dured, in Sherman's -march ?roni the mountains of Georgia to the sea Southward, and from.the sea ]North: ward to tho plains of Norath Carolina, wil? recall vividly s ti cir a picture of desolation, and. their hearts will throb in responsive sympathy with the un fortunate victims. We well remem ber th.it-memorable night when, upon Boiling's "Island, iu tho Congar.ee, where, haying found concealment fi om Kilpatrick's cavalry, we witnessed, at the distance of fifteen miles, the lam bent Hames reaching high up from the horizon, -obscuring the stars.with lurid glare, and from their topmost reach blending into heavy rolling vol umes of dark clouds; the passing away of Columbia, the once beautiful capital of the Palmetto State; while, at our feet, seated upon the tattered cushion of an ambulance and reclin ing against the trunk of a swamp oak, a tender mother and wife of a Con federate officer, a fugitive, watched all night the last struggles of her dy ing infant ; and we well remember that wc journeyed from dawn to mid day on the morning of the next day. through blackened and burning for ests, and by the trail of white ashes which marked the fenceless fields, guided by the tall, red chimneys which stood like sentinels over the smouldering ruins of once bright and happy homes. We. tender to the unfortunate vic tims of this great calamity in the West sorrowful sympathy, lt is all that we can spare to give. A young Jewess, of Baltimore, named Miss Bettie Jacobs, eloped on the 19th ult. with a Gentile named Allman. The fugitives were marri ed at Washington, and proceeded to Alexandria for a quiet honeymoon. The father traced them up the hotel, and was conducted up to their room. As the door was opened the bride exclaimed : " Father, we are legally married," and burst into tears. The lather upbraided her for lipr act, and forbade her to call him father again, is she had disgraced both him and her mother. A dialogue was carried :>n between the two, amid their cries ind sobs, which was only interrupted when the landlord declared that it was attracting too much attention/ ind must cease. The father turned to go, arid, as he did so, cast a fond look at his daughter, and to her fran tic "Good bye, lather," said: "I will go horne, put crape on my hat, md mark you on the record : 'Died, September 19, 1871." And thus :hey parted.-Courier-Journal. GRANT AND BEAUREGARD.-An ex cursion party has recently been male-' ng a trip along some of the railroad ines from Chicago westward. Gen. Beauregard was one of the party. President Grant and his party were ;aken np somewhere on the way. Dispatches all concur in stating-that ;he Confederate General received a warmer welcome and attracted more ittention than the Federal President. The meeting between the two is describ id as " apparently cordial, but brief." Mr. Grant, with characteristic cour tesy and magnanimity, with that poli shed sense of propriety, that decorous iicnity, which should always distin guish the words:, and conduct of the ?hief magistrate of a great people, is reported to have remarked that " if ho had known Beauregard was a long, he would not have como with the excursion." General Grant is quite right. The.remark proves his good Sense. He ought not to wish to ap pear along side of Beauregard. Peo ple will make comparisons, and com parisons are proverbially odious.

IA The Washington Chronicle quotes the letter of a Haleigh correspondent that 500 indictments have been found for Ku Kluxing by the grand jury of the Federal Court in session at that place. These indictment are for offences committed since the pas sage of the Ku Klux Act by Con gress, in May last. If the Circuit Court could go back to 18G8, says the Chronicle, and take jurisdiction of all the cases in North Carolina, it would require a dozen grand juries to at tend to the business, and 25,000 to 30,000 Ku Klux could be indicted. That would undoubtedly satisfy the appetite even of the Chronicle. Even Jeffreys might have been satisfied with such a holocaust of victims. But of what advantage are Ku Klux laws, if they only multiply offences? As to the 25,000 or 30,000 Ku Klux-, it might as well be said at once that everybody in North Carolina and the South not of a certain political stripe are Ku KJux.. The law might have been apprcpiintely designated " An Act for.tho Uuiformity of Parties." That is what it means:- No doubt there are lawless characters in every community and of all parties, and it is quite conceivable that, as in ibo South, there have been so-called "Union Leagues," who menaced and oppressed a helpless population, and as there is' also in power in every part of the South those whom the Chronicle admits to have ! little brains, no education, and less than no char acter," others, in self-defence, might be driven to improvise some sort of temporary organized effort at self-, preservation. But as to any associa tion there, whether called Ku Klux or any other absurb name, having traitorous designs against the Gov ernment, or banded together for criminal purposes, we have not seen any credible testimony whatever of its existence. But any association, temporary or otherwise, not avowed ly Republican, which people in any district may "fall into in the South, it would seem is likely to be punished now under the oppressive machinery of the so-called Ku Klux Act of .Con gress. It will not be safe even for neighborhoods in our most out-of-the way places to indulge the ordinary co-operation in protecting themselves from the depredations of petty thieves or gathering for such sports as rural districts mav afford.-Baltimore Sun Horrible Case of Murder and Sui cide. On Saturday morning Julius Stein man, aged 30, a lager beer sliop-keep er in New York, murdered his wife Julia, a native of We.isbaden, aged 22, by crushing her head with a club and smoothing iron, and cutting her throat with a sheath knife. He then hanged himself with a clothes line at the shop door. The bodies of both were cold wlien discovered. She had been a saloon waiter, and he became j jealous on account of a habit she had of going out at night and staying until a late hour, where, he never knew. When found dead she was sitting at her supper table in the back room of the saloon, dressed in black trimmed with green velvetier arms on the table and her head re clining ou them, face downward. On the right side of her head vas a ghastly wound, from which still oozed blood, clotting the 'thick folds of her black hair. In ?he adjoining front room hung thc husband by a single cord from a staple in the front or street door, his face turned direct ly toward the dead body of his wile. He was barefooted, with a pair of old pants and a white shirt on, open ac the neck. Thc coroner took charge of tho premises. PLAIN TALK TO GIRLS.-Your eve ryday toilet isapartof your character. A girl who looks like a " fury"' or a "sloven" in the morning is not to be trusted, however finely she may look in the evening. No matter how hum ble your room may be, lhere are eight tilings it should contain, namely : A minor, washstand,.soap, rowel, comb, hair, nail and tooth brushes. These are just as essential as your breakfast, before which you should make good use of them. Parents who fail to provide their children with such ap pliances, not only make a gloat mis take, but commit a sin of omission. Look lidy in the morning, and after dinner-work is over improve your toilet. Make it a rule of your daily life to "dress up" in the afternoon. Your-dress may or need not be any thing better than calico ; but with a ribbon or flower, or some bit of orna ment, you can have an air of self respect and satisfaction that invaria bly comes with being well-dressed. A .girl with fine sensibilities cannot help feeling embarrassed and awkward in a ragged and dirty dress, with her hair unkept, should a neighbor or stranger como in. Moreover, your self respect should demand the de cent appareling of your body. Yon should make it a point to look as well as you can, even if you know nobody will see you but yourself. ?Information has been received in dicating that the Mormons have- con sidered, a fearful plan of retaliation towards the govern ment for the course which has ? been pursued- in Utah against polygamy by tte Federal judicial authorities. It is nothing less than an effort to foment an In dian war from Arizona to the North1-, ern bounds of Dakota, to destroy the overland railroads and devastate the whole Western frontier.

The Mormons have proved too oft ?n and under too many trying eil sumstances their devotion to thei Faith for it to be doubted now. A present, not only their political right jut their religion is assailed by oin ;ial authority. While the nation i worked upon with thc cry of polyga my, that is but a sound to cover th real object. Nearly every fundamen tal principle of their faith is attacked not by calm reason and scriptural ar jument, but by disgraceful abuse ribaldry and profanity, sanctionee md endorsed by official smiles ant olandishments, while the forces an jeing marshalled to break up tin ?ommunityas a religious organization lestroy the leaders and the peo?)!o )r scatter them wanderers again oi ;he earth.

Sentinel. -.-?-----_.>---i Death In a Dentist's Chair? Miss Julia W. Doolittle, aged ol years, of Hudson, near Fulton ave nue, Brooklyn, called at P.. C. Brew ster's dental establishment, at 30o Fulton street, in that city, Monday morning, to have a number of teeth extracted preparatory to getting a false set. Hhe had been there on the : Saturday previous, and said that she would be unable to submit to thc op eration without taking laughing gas or chloroform, but the dentist hesita ted about administering chloroform. He finally administered gas, but it did not have the desired effect. She wanted to take chloroform then, but Mr. Brewster refused to use it. I ' e told her, however, that if she wished to take it she must bring a physician to the office to.administer it. An engagement was accordingly made for yesterday morning at nit o o'clock, and at that time Miss Doolit tle called at the office and met Dr. Gr. S. Little, of 171 Carlton avenue, one of the most experienced physicians in the city. 'ihe docto:- asked Miss Doolittle whether she was perfectly healthy, and she said that she was, but that she once had slight palpita tion of the heart, which she did not view as anything serious. Dr. Little then administered four drachms of chloroform to her in the presence of Mr. Brewster and his as sistant, J. \V. Egg'eston, who worein readiness to extract the tooth. After the latter had drawn the teeth : he doctor suddenly announced that th o woman's pulse was becomin 2[ WC;', k, and that she was sinking rapidly. They became alarmed and began to apply restoratives, but without effect. Several other physicians wore sum moned, and a galvanic battery was used for more than an hour, but all efforts to revivo the woman failed, and she died. Dr. Little was shocked at the fatal result of the operation. He said Miss Doolittle had called at his ?frico on .Saturday and made an appointment with him to go to Mr. Brewster's of fice Monday morning. He met her there and administer d four drachms of chloroform on a napkin, vt hen she was under the influence of the drug the dentist began to extract her teeth. Tho doctor, finding her pulse growing weak, began to apply restora tives, but without effect. He had known Miss Doolittle about a month or six weeks only, She was a native of Connecticut, and had lived in Brooklyn ton or twelve years. She was employed in Despard's sowing machine estabiishmentin Fulton street at a good salary, and was a firjst class operator. ?The body was taken to tho resi dence of a brother-in-law at Port land and Myrtie avenues, and ('oro uer Jones impanheiled a jury prepar atory to an inquest.-N.
