Many who are suflering from the effects of the warm weather aud are debilitated, are advised by physicians to take moderate amounts of whiskey two or three times during the duy. Io a little while, those who adopt this advice frequently increase the number of "drinks," and in time bcoome con? firmed inebriates. A beverage which will not create thirst for intoxicating liquors, und which is intended espe? cially for the benefit of debilitated persons, whether at home or abroad, is Dr. Scbenck's Sea Weed Tonic. Con? taining the juices of many medicinal herbs, this preparation does uot create an appetite for tbe intoxicating cup. Tbe nourishing and the life-supporting properties of many valuable natural productions contained iu it and well kuo'wn to medicul meu have a most strengthening influence. A single bottle of the Tonic will demonstrate its valuable qualities. For debility aris? ing from sickness, over-exertion or from any cause whatever, u wiuo glassful of Sua Weed Tonic, taken after meals, will strengthen the sto? mach und create an uppe.titefor whole? some food. To all who are about leaving their homes, wo desire to say that the excellent effects of Dr. Schenck's seasonable remedies, Sea Weed Tonic aud Mandrake Pills, are particularly evident when taken by those who are injuriously affected by a change of water and diet. No person should leave home without taking a supply of these safeguards along. For sale by all druggists. A9f 13 Chicago to Charleston.?Hon. W. S.

We have se? cured right of way through Illinois to city limits, whioh is a valuable consi? deration, as we will have our own rail to the heart of Chicago. I understand the Kentucky branch will soon pa or? ganized under charter grouted by tho Legislature. I hopo the day is uot far distant wheu tbe South nnd West will be united by this great trunk liue iu bonds of common interest und fellow? ship." A remarkable fish is said to be found in great numbers iu the coast rivers of Alaska. It is about eight inches tang, transparent, and is the fattest of ail the finny triho. This fat, however, has not the oily, rancid taste of other fish, but is like fresh lurd. When these fish are dried the Indians often turn them to a novel and practical ac? count?burn them in place of caudles. They givo a clear, brilliant light, and are not liable to bo blown out by the wind. Mr. Mason, superintendent at Fort Sampson, suyu that the tail should be lighted, instead of tho head, aud each fish will burn about liltecn mi? nutes.
