stock was quoted at 301 in Philadelphia, on Tuesday. Read ing R. stock a WS from the European War is very slim, but everything indicates the ap- proach of a great battle between the opposing armies in Asiatic Turkey. SECRETARY SHERMAS'S withdrawal of one and two dollar greenback i from circa lat ion, is a source of great inconvenience to business men in all parts of the country. In some places postage stamps are used in making remittances.

IN South America, recent earthquakes and tidal waves caused terrible destruction of lives and property. In one vicinity, over six hundred lives were lost, and the property destroyed was worth $20,000,000. The coast of Bolivia was washed by a wave sixty-five feet higb, resulting in immense lose to the inhabitants. Delaware valley, fish are dying in great numbers. This unfortunate mortal ity is supposed to be caused by the food eaten by fish, which in that section, consists chiefly of seventeen-year locnsts.

It is remembered that when the locusts were present seventeen years ago, the same fa tality befell the fish in the Delaware river. THE New York Sun, in reference to the young lady graduates of the Philadelphia Normal.School, who visited New York, says "they went home delighted. They had teen a city." The Sun might have added, "a very bad city, a city of crime, the school of deviltry, a hot-bed of moral pestilence," or some other mild terms equally appropriate. THE Williamsport Bulletin says: There if nothing encouraging in the lumber trade. The report of the shipments for the month of May, printed elsewhere, show a total of 22,482,311 feet, decline of 1,816,712 feet, as compared with With the close of May the shipments from WiUiamsport foot up a total of 73,280,584 ngreat decline as compared with the trades of former years.

The total bhipmentg, including points on the Northern Central railroad and between Benovo and Lock Haven, and Pine creek, Jersey Shore and Larry's creek, amount to 82,439,308 feet. The present month will probably put the quantity over one hundred millions. THE Philadelphia Times puts it in this way: "Some of the clerks in the New York Custom House are getting just too impudent for anything. A letter is reported to have been received at Washington from one of them, in which be states that he had paid fifty dollars for the Be- publicau campaign fnnd, and when the the dispute arose as to who was elected he was assessed ten per cent, of his salary for the whole year. He says: 'I think the first $50 went legitimately for campaign purposes, but the last $140 was used nn- doutediy to help to an office for a Presidential candidate who never was There will have to be an investigation to ascertain whether this is a na tion or a league."

The Board of Pardons met at Harrisburg on Saturday, at I'l A. to consider applications for a commutation of the death sentences in the cases of John Donahue, of Carbon connty, convicted of the murder of John P. Jones, hi the same connty, and of Hugh McGehan, Thomas Duffy, James Boyle, James Eoarity and James Carrol, convicted of murder oJ Benjamin F. Yost, of Schuylkill county, and after a long session, decided no: to interfere in their behalf, and according to their sentences they will suffer the extreme penalty of the law on Thursday, May 21. Eleven will be executed, as there were gome who did not apply for pardons.

BTJTLEBlTi HATEE. Ben Butler, according to the Hartford (Connecticut) Times'e Washington correspondent, is a methodical as well as a measureless hater. For years he has employed the whole secret service force of ihe Treasury in hunting up "points" againd prominent men, which he keeps arrangec in his big books ready to his hand. In his fight with Mr. Foster, of Ohio, he had the bitter so closely shadowed that the contents of his letters and letter-book were in Butler's hands.

It is saiu to be likely that the MacVeagh correspondence will end in a tremendous explosion, especially if Butler appears as counsel for Mrs. Olliver. plaintiff in the $100,000 breach of promise suit a gainst Simon Cameron. The old Winnebcgo chief, who is a tolerably good hater himself, has a number of affidavits concerning Butler which he obtained when Sesretary of War, and kept for possible use, and it is hinted that he may hanc them over to his son-in-law, should Veagh run abort of ammunition, On the other band, the detective who worked up the Oliver suit for Cameron is said to have given General 'Butler the whole 01 the evidence, which affords him a chance to launch out at MacVeagh. The public will impartially hold its nose and wish ill to both in an internecine warfare of the sort.

FEMALE 8UFFB1GE IN OOLOBADO. We clip the following from the-Colorado Transcript: The lady referred to is the wife of J. C. B. Boyd, formerly of connty, and the lady herself the daugMer of A.

Fleming, formerly of Saltsburg, Indiana County. "After the excitement of the day in town had nearly gone by, I drove into the country to visit friends, and found them just ready to step into the awaiting farm wagon to start to their election. The family represented four generations of people; three of a votable age. The mostencourag- ing feature was the delight the former head of the house exhibited in view of the fact that the family power was suddenly to be quadrupled. The district being thinly settled, and no public place accessible, the polls were held at a farm house.

The office to be filled was treasurer of the school board; the candidates were both ladies, had the pleasure of witnessing my friends of the three successive generations deposit their first vote, the dear old grandmother, over eighty years of age, leading the van. The election was conducted in the most primitive manner, a hat taking the place of the usual ballot-box. We waited half an hour for the returns, which showed us that Mrs. Boyd was duly elected. She was called upon for a speech, and begged to be excused because she was holding Her husband delightedly came to the rescue, and solved the problem by taking himself, whereupon she responded'in a short but appropriate speech.

Afterward I noticed the fond lather attempting to cloak and he whispered to me, confidentially, "Now that wife has gone into politics, the baby will fall into my charge;" while his face beamed with pleasure at the compliment his wife had received. I thought how wisely it had been bestowed, as I looked around me 'and oaw me jmic, intellectual face of the little lady contrasting so strongly with its surroundings. The life of a rich man's wife is barren at the best, and any window through which one new beam of soul light can shine in upon her, is hailed by many lonely hearts with delight and thanksgiving. Suffrage will bring to the women of Colorado in both town and country a new interest in and incentive to life. Let us trust that the day is not far distant when what we hope for shall be realized, and the enfranchisement of worn an shall cease to be characterized asan un tried experiment EMII.IE A.

PIERCE." A LETTEE FEOM TWEED. YOBK, June The following letter explains itself: LUCLOW STBEET, June 13, 1877. John J). Towntend DEAR SIR: I wish yon to make the necessary steps to at once enable me to' confess judgment in all the cases brought against me either by the city, connty or state. My defenses in all these matters have been disclosed to the attorney general personally in several interviews, on his personal assurance to me that if I made such statement I should be released from imprisonment, and, as you know, also to yourself and it would be useless now to interpose a defense even had I a desire to do so, and I would thus save the city further unnecessary expense.

Your obedient servant, WM. M. TWEED." AKEBIOAV SOIL VIOLATED. GALVESTOX, June A special to the News, dated Fort Clark, says on Monday last a detachment of Mexican Government troops crossed the Bio Grande to this side at a point twenty miles from here, in order to avoid a conflict with a large body of revolutionary troops fast closing on them. On the same night a revolutionary body crossed the river and attacked the Government soldiers, killing several and wounding many, after which they returned to the Mexican side.

The United military authorities at this post made captives the Mexican troops for violation of the neutrality laws in crossing to the American side with aims and having a battle thereon. They were brought to this post under guard of United States troops. They are forty in number, and include one Colonel, three Lieutenant-colonels, and five Captains. They were released on parole Recruiting is going on on this side for the revolutionary party. THE BUSSIAJT 'is'lCY BOUND TO MABOHUTTO OOHBTAHTDfOPLE.

LONDOS, June 15. The special correspondent of the Xeujs at Bucharest telegraphs as follows "On the Bussian army any forshadowing of peace would fall with a thrill of passionate disgust that woulc strain the bonds of dicipline to the utmost There can be no question that the army regards Constantinople as the orriy goa that can content it. I understand it is settled that the czar will return to Bussia immediately after he has witnessed and participated in the passage of the Danube There are now comparatively few Russian officers in Bucharest; their duties cal" them elsewhere." The special correspondent of the Newt at the Russian headquarters professes to give further details of Prince Gortecbakoff reply to Earl Derby, as follows "If th Turks make peace directly Russia crosses the Balkan, Bussia will be ready to accord peace, but otherwise she would have no alternative but to conquer tnd dictate peace to the pone. If England wishes to prevent the Russians from entering Constantinople, she has only to exert her influence upon the Turks, in order to induce them to yield immediately after the Balka is passed." ERZEROUM, June 15. Mukhtar Pasha's position at Zewin is believed to be unassailable.

The Turkish right confronts the Russian left in the open district of Alash- knt An engagement is imminent. The Russian detachment of centre which occu pied Saghauli has fallen back in the direc tion of Kara. NEW YORK, June The Turkish minister communicated to the associated press a dispatch of which the following is a translation "CONSTANTINOPLE, June The Min- itter of Foreign Affairi to the Minuter oJ Turkey at Washington: In consequence the demand of the imperial government for the substitution on the ambulance service of the Bed Crescent for the Bed Cross, doubU have been raised as to our intention of respecting the convention of Geneva. To remove any misunderstanding in this respect the imperial government declares that in conformity with the said convention, to which it adheres in principle, the Bed Cross will continue to be regfiected by the Ottoman armies under all circumstances and that formal instructions have been given to this effect; that the society of aid for the wounded represented by the Bed Crescent is in reality by the eastern branch of the Society of the Bed Cross."

One nation can have but one patriotic sentiment. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers is twenty-five years old, and has a fund of nearly $4,000,000. The monthly dues of members are $10.

Sherman is going to sell bonds at four per cent, for gold, sell the gold, and buy greenbacks and cancel them until be gets them down to $300,000,000, when he says we may resume. But at the same time he is so withdrawing the circulation as to make us so poor that we cannot afford to pay the four per cent The Pittsburg Telegraphs aBepublican paper, but it can tell the truth when it wants to. Beferring to the chances of Major the probable Bepublican nominee for State Treasurer, it says: "Major Hart thinks he has sure thing of So he being beaten; not in the convention, but the polls." John M. Bailey and Edward McHogb were yesterday chosen representative delegates from Huntingdon county to the Democratic state convention without instructions.

Mumma. A resolution was adopted presenting the Hon. William McSherry as a candidate for auditor general. In Harrisburg last week, at the session 1 of the state Sunday school association, report was submitted showing 'the number of Sunday school scholars in the state to be 629,548, and the number of schools 6,132. The number of officers and teachers is 81,385.

On the 14th of June, 1777, the Continen tal Congress "resolved that the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes alternate red and white; that the Union be thirteen stars white in a blue field representing a new constellation." By spec ial enactment afterward the number stars was permitted to be increased so that they should represent the number of states in the Confederation, and with this single modification the flag of the United States, has contiuned for a hundred years, ending on the 14th. A commission appointed bv the Treasury Department has reported that the fractional currency destroyed while in the hands the people, amount to $11,000,000. As none of it can ever be presented for redemption, the Government is a gainer to this amount. How the estimate was made is not stated, but. it is probably very near the truth.

The report also states that nominally $21,126.930 of fractional currency are yet unredeemed, and in this is included the amount which the commission estimate as destroyed.

They are compounded of vegetable ingredients, and contain nothing which can be injurious to the constitution. Other remedies advertised as cures for consumption, probably contain opium, which is a somewhat dangerous drug in all cases, and if taken freely by consumptive pa- tlenti tt mustdo great Injury; for Its tendency is to confine the morbid matter In the system, which, of course, must make a cure Impossible. Schenck's Pulmonlc Syrup is warranted not to contain a particle of opium; It Is composed of powerful but harmless herbs, which act on the lungs, liver, stomach and blood, and thus cor- reef all morbid secretions, and expel all the diseased matter from the body.

These are the only means by which Consumption can be cured, and as Scherick's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the onlymedicines which operate In this way. It Is obvfous they are the only eenuine cure tor Pulmonary Consumption. Each bottle of this Invaluable medicine Is accompanied by full directions.
