BY J. A. SELBY; ~ C0?itfi??lA,o?. C., SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 15. 1871. YOL. VII-NO. 100. INSTBTJMJSNTS OP TOBXUIUB.-In no line has more devilish ingenuity been mani fasted than in oonBtrnoting instruments of torture. Tho raok, wheel, boot and scrow of the medieval ages, far from having exhausted the resources of inven? tion, have been supplanted in our doy by the crucifix and shower baths used for the punishment of oriminals in varions penitentiaries. About a year ago, tho horrible inhumanity of this method of punishment was exposed, and in a tit of righteous indignation the Legislature of New York abolished thom from her State penni institutions. It was thought at tho time that this prompt action would ameliorate tho condition of prisoners by enforcing a "more humane system of treatment, but it would seem tho hope was destined to disappointment. Cruelty ia never at a loss for weapous, lind so when tho "shower bath" nud "crucifix" Were trundled out of Sing Siug, tho "trapeze" and tho "bed of roses" were brought in. Tho first is described us it harmless looking contrivance. It con? sists of two thin tarred ropes run over a pulley. Tho ends of thi-so ropes aro fastened to the thumbs of tho convict who is to be punished. Then one pull and the viotim is lifted off his feet. As tho man dangles in mid-air, his outire weight depending on II?B thumbs, his sufferings are really horrible. Tho most excruciating pains are felt in every part of his body, nnd every fibre qui vorn with keenest agony. Tho tendons of the arms are stretched to their fullest length, and seem like red-hot wires in the man's flesh. Elbow-joints and ahonlderblades snap as if ready to separate, and the thumbs, swollen and black, with com? pressed blood, often actually slit open. At this point, the miserable wretch, filled with terror,* happily sinks into in? sensibility. When released, he is gene? rally unable to walk, by reason of tem? porary paralysis. The "bed of roses" is still worse, inas? much UH its effects are often lasting, and leave the viotim to drag out a miserable existence after being subjected to its horrors. Think of a dark, unventilated stone dungeon, seven feet long, three feet wide, and six feet high, in which is kept the "bed of rosea!" This luxurious couch is a stout wooden flooring, which covers the cell bottom. Upon this f ramo is fastened half spheres of hard wood, about the size of billiard balls cut in halves. These are secured tightly, with the rounded surface turned upward. The prisoner to be punished is forced in upon the "bed," after he has bonn de? prived of his coat, shoes and stockings. A few days in a cell containing this worse than stony bed, and a reeking, poisonous atmosphere, reduces the vio? tim to a state of utter physical and men? tal weakness. In vain, he seeks for rest in sleep, or for a position of ease. The hard knobs press into his flesh, and fill his body with a thousand pangs; every motion increases his tortures, but his cries for mercy meet with no response. When he leaves his dungeon it is with blinded vision and unsteady gait, with limbs bruised, and body lame and sore throughout. Yet, while this iniquitous semi-tragedy is enaoted under cover and authority of tho law, Mr. Bergh and his friends aro being daily lauded by the New York pul? pit nud press for their services in ameli? orating the condition of dumb animals, and volumes of pioua indignation are daily poured out from tho same sources upon the devoted heads of Southerners for Ku Klux cruelties, which exist only in imagination. Humanity, liko other shining virtuos, should commence at homo. Desertion from the army in tho West is said to bo a growing evil. The men weary of the monotonous life, and the result is that the day after pay-day almost invariably sees the ranks thinner than before. Tho recent aotion of the Government in lowering the rate of pay nearly $i per month has had a powerful influence in this direction. A few days ago sixty men deserted from Fort Hays in a body, and only eight were recap? tured. Every Indian tribe has more or less of thom domiciled among it, and they ure said to be first in everything that is barbarous and cruel. Henry Bogers, a young man, while at tempting to pick a flower for a lady, at Montmorsnoi Falls, on the 12th instant, lost his balance and rolled down the almost perpendicular precipice, a dis? tance of nearly 200 feet, where he was | caught by a bush and saved from going into the water. He was res DU ed from his critical position with great difficulty, and it is donbtfnl if he recov?te from his in? juries. IfcLos Angelos, California, again reports a heavy shower of meat. About this time last year, says the Virginia (Neva- ' da) Enterprise, a similar shower fell in Los Nietos, with those differences: Then it wan raw, now it is said to be "boiled. Then the blades of the standing corn we're' "drenched with blood," now they Are moistened with a kind of homeopa? thic soap. Just Received, OK BBLS. NORTHERN HUSH FOTA ? O TOES.

MANY a human being baa passed away, for whoao death tlioro waa no other rea Bon than tho neglect of known and indiaput ably provon moaue of cure. Tboee near and dear to family and friends are sleeping tho jdroamlcea slumber into which, bad they calm? ly adopted DR. JOSEPH II. SCIIENCK'S SIMPLE TREATMENT, And availed tbomselves of hiB wonderful effi? cacious medicines, they would not have fallen. Dr. 8chonck bas, in bis own caso, proved that wherever sufliciout vitality remains, that vitality, by bia medicines and Ina directions for their uso, is quickened into heallhtul vigor. In thia statement there ia nothing presump? tuous. To the faith of tho invalid is made no repr?sentation that Is not a thousand timoa substantiated by living and visible works. The theory of tho euro by Dr. Bchenck's me? dicine is as simple as it is unfailing. IIB phi? losophy requires no argument. It ia self-as? suring, self-convincing. The Seaweed Tonio and Mandrake Filip are tho Drat two weapon? with whi?h the citadel of the malady is assailed. Two-thirds of tuc caaos of consumption originate in dyspepsia and a functionally disordered liver. With thu condition tho bronchial tubos "eympathizo* with tho stomach. They respond to tho mor bific action of the liver. Boro, then, como? the culminating result, and tho setting in with all its distressing symptoms, of CONSUMPTION. Tho Mandrake Fills aro composed of ono o nature's noblest gift?-the Podopkillum Pel tatum. They possess all tho blood-soarch ing, alterative properties of calomel; but, un Uko calomel, they . .LEAVE NO STING BEHIND." The work of euro is now beginning. Tin vitiated and mucous deposita in tho bowel and in the alimentary canal aro ejectod. Tie liver, like a dock, is wound up. It arouse from its torpidity. Tho stomach acts rospon aivoly, and tho patient begins to foel that h ia getting, at last, A SUPPLY OF GOOD BLOOD. The Seaweed Tonio, in conjunction with th Pills, pormoat es and assimilates with the food Ohyliflcation is now progressing without it previous tortures. Digestion becomes pain leas, and the cure is seen to be at bane Ibero is no more flatulence, no exacerb?t io of tho stomach. An appetite sets in. Now comos the greatest Blood Purifier ovc vet given by an indulgent father to mi florin man. Schenok's Pulmonio Syrup comes in t perform its functions and to basten and con ploto tho euro. It enters at onco upon it work. Nature cannot be cheated. It collect ind ripens the impaired and diaoaaed portior >f the lungs. In the form of gat borings, prepares them for expectoration, and lol iu very short timo, tho malady is vanquishoi the rotten throne that it occupied is renovate md mado new, and the patient, in all tho di| nlty of regained vigor, steps forth to enje ?ho manhood or tho womanhood that was GIVEN UP AS LOST. Tho second thing is, the patients must ali in a warm room until they got well; it is a ?nost impossible to prevent taking cold win die lungs aro diseased, but it must bo pr iron tod, or a euro cannot bo effected. Frei ur and riding out, especially in this eecth >f tho country in tho full and winter seaao ire all wrong. Physicians who recommei that conree loso their patients, if their Inn ire badly diseased, und yet, because they a in the house, they must not Bit down qui? they must walk about tho room as much a: IB fast as tho strength will bear, to get up good circulation of blood. The patior must keop in good spirits-be determined get woll. This bas a groat deal to do with t appetite, and is the great point to gain. To despair of cure aftorsuch evidence of possibility in the worst cases, and morale tainty in all others, is sinful. Dr. Scheue personal statement to the Faculty of his o sure waB in these modest words: "Many years ago I was in the last Btagca consumption; confined to my bcd, ?ndate timo my physicians thought that leonid i live a woek; thon, like a drowning man cati ing at straws, I beard of and obtained 1 preparations which I now offer to the pub and they made a perfect euro of mo. seemed to mo that I could feel them ponetr my whole system. They soon ripened matter in my lungs, and ? would spit up ni than a pint of offensive yellow matter ev morning for a long time. "As soon as that began lo subside, a )Ugh, fever, pain and night sweats a ll boj to leave mo, and my appetite became so gi that it waa with difficulty that 1 could k from eating too much. I soon gained atren and have grown in flosb ever ainco. "I was weighed shortly after my recove added the Doctor, "then looking liko a n skeleton; my weight was only ninety-se pounds; my present weight is two bum and twenty-five [225] pouuda, and for yea havo enjoyed uninterrupted health."
