Lam? bert lectured before a large audience in Steinway Hall, npon "Longevity and Brevevity," the latter word being n-ther unlawfully coined by him as antithetic to the former. The doctor maintained that the age to which any man could arrive, even with the ut? most care, was determined within very n?rrow limits by that to which his ancestors had arrived. He treated vitality throughout as a quantitative force. Each person inherited a cer? tain amount, which was spent in a certain time, and this time might be short, although health was good and strength great. The natural period of life, however, could, of oourse, be shortened by inattention to the laws of life. He claimed, furthermore, that there were personal indications by which one could determine whether he was probably long-lived or short-lived, in the absence of knowledge of his inheritance in that respect, or as confirmatory of auch knowledge. These indications he did not consider to be as well ascertained and defined as they might be and would be-the science was as yet in its infancy-but from observations in thousands of cases he had discovered a portion of them. Indications of longevity were to be found in depth of brain between tho eye-brows and the opening of tho ear, in a long oval face, in a largo nose, in hazel eyes, in a long body relatively to the limbs, in moderately drooping shoulders, and moderately long nock; "breve? vity," in shallowness of the brain in the region mentioned, in limbs dis? proportionately long to the body, in too long or too short neck, and in a peculiar light blue circle to bo seen round tho pupils of some persons' eyes. Tho audience was evidently mach interested in the theories of the lecturer.-New York World. Forney, who has clamored so sav? agely for tho impeachment of the President, is now nuder impeach? ment himself. A Senatorial Com? mittee is to investigate tho myste? rious disappearance of $-10,000 public money in the custody of this chevalier tl Dl?UiirtC. X'uruujr BUTS lue mutiny was stolen by bia uncle, old Mr. Wagner. Tho old man denies it. It is evident, from what occurred in tho ?Senate about the matter. Wednes? day, that Cameron, who knows both men, and is a good judge of rogues, believes that Forney is tho thief. Two men in an open boat have been picked up, says an Havana de? spatch, and it is thought they are deserters from some of the prisons in Florida. It will be remembered, in this connection, that St. Leger Gren fel recently escaped with some sol diera from tho Dry Tortugas. A Portland school-houso caught firo the other day, and aa the boys watched it, one in another school said, enthusiastically and honestly, to his companion: "Oh! Johnny, don't you wish it \u? oar schobt* bouse?" SPECIAL NOTICES. YOU KAT BE TOO LATE-Bo warned in timo. Diseases like Indigestion and Dyspepsia are not to be trifled with. There is such a thing as being too late in these matters. Inflammation, or Scirrhns Cancer, or some other dangerous disease, may ensue, when all rea to ra ti vea, no mat? ter how potent, would be ineffectual. Do not delay, then. When the symptoms of Dyspepsia are first experienced, resort at onee to the great restorative medicine, HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, and you will be safo. But few disorders involve greater suffer? ing, and, if not in itself immediately dan? gerous, it is the source of many deadly maladies. Even if it did not tend to greator evil, the mental and physioal misery it produces is alone a suffioient reason why no pains should be spared to prevent or cure it. In no country on the faco of tho globe is it so completely do? mesticated as in our own, where it is found in uearlv evorv household. HOS? TETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS are uni? versally conceded to be the sovereign remedy for this annoying disease, a? they aot directly upon the digestive organe, correct and tone the stomach, and give renewed vitality to thc system. Acting delightfully upon the nerves and soothing the brain,'rendera them efficacious as a mental medicine, as well SB a genial sto? machic. If taken as a preventive, they will be found particularly well suited to tho diseases arising from the unhealthy season of autumn, and their uso will pre? vent the creeping, unpleasant aonsation often complained of when tho chills are stealing slowly upon the patient.

Pimples, corrupt sores, which POLLUTE the LIFE of the BLOOD, and render your hedy a loathesomo thine. They are the precur? sora of a disc aa od blood, and will assnmo a much more formidable shape if allowed to KO on unchecked. The QUEEN'S DE? LIGHT, the only real blood purifier that bas ever been invented, as thousands will to-day attest, ia offered to the afflicted as a positive remedy for all diseases flowing from a vitiated condition of the svstem. THE LIFE OF THE FLESH ?8 PURE BLOOD. Upon thia theory alone the in? ventor of the Queen's Delight establishes the great bygienio law, WITHOUT PUBE BLOOD NO FLESH LS FREE FBOM DIS? EASE. The Pale and Shrunken Forms, Yellow Faces. Weak Stomachs, Diseased Liver*. Crippled Rheumatics, Nervous Hypochondriacs, Dyspeptio "Victims of Headache, BO common in this country, is owing entirely to the humors of the blood. Very many other diseases may be traced to bad blood, Scrofula or King's Evil, Erysi? pelas, Exanthema or Elovurc, a rash or eruption on females; Blotches, Tetter, Goitre or Swelled Neck, Syphilis and Sy? philitic Borea. Strumoue Ulcers, Ac. These cannot be cured without purifying the blood. Now aa to the remedy. There ie no other blood purifier that will accom? plish each positive and extraordinary eurea as Helniten'a Queen's Delight. You may take a barrel of extract Sarsaparilla, and still you will not be cured; and, as a proof of it, look around and you will observo the country, throughout ita length and breadth, is flooded with compound Sarsa Sarillas, extracts and syrups, claiming to e blood purifiers, and yet we see to-day more evidence of impurity of the blood than ever. Why is this? Simply because these extracts and Sarsaparillas are worth? less medicines. The Queen's Dolight is a new compound, and is now the great blood medicine ; gano tinned by the profession, patronized by the highest dignitaries of tue land, endorsed by every body. lu the brief period of twelve months, over 3.000 cases nave been treated so suc? cessfully aa to entitle it to be the wonder of the ago. For debility, prostration, nervousness, mental depression, impaired digestion, loss of appetite. restlesnesB, want of vital force. Low spirits; it is more invigorat? ing and strengthening than ali the com? pounds of bark or bitters. As a liver mvigorator, it is of inestimable value. Aa a stimulant, it ia safer and surer than all the rum and whiskey tonics of the day, and if you value your Ufe and health a fun's fee, avoid these quickening stimu ants to the grave ana use the Queen's Delight. Ask for Heinitsh's Queen's De? light. This ia not the Extract of Stellin gia or Queen's Delight, nor is it a Com pound Syrup of Queen's Delight, or Sarsa narilla and Queen's Dolight. but simply Heinitsh's Queen's Delight is tho trade mark.
