The Old, and the New, the Put and the Prevent. | [From the Philadephia Press.] Telegraphy was born in'1844. The came itself is of more recent date. The first message of importance transmitted was that of Silas Wright, written at his eeat in the Senate to the Baltimore Con- -,-eEtion, in Joue of the year we name, declining the nomination for the Vice Presidency which the convention con­ ferred upon him. At that time the only telegraphic line in the world was between « "Washington city and Baltimore, and the first practical use of it was the transmis­ sion of messages to and from the Democratic Convention sitting in Balti- SuOiCi In 1848 the nomination of Van Bnren and Adams at Buffalo, on the Free Soil platform, was sent over the wires as far as they reached. The nomination of Franklin Pierce, in 1852, was known thronghout the greater part cf the Union witliin a few minutes of the time it was made, and, as details came from the convention, almost sim­ ultaneously telegrams were received of the enthusiasm with which the nomina­ tion was hailed and of the salutes fired in the East, the Soutb and the West in rejoicing over it. In 1850 the nomination of Fremont and Dayton, in our own city, was tele- graphed to every State in the Union. eing on the spot, and the marvelous in­ vention being no longer a noveltyv tele­ graphy left no particular impression of its use on that occasion upon us. But in November of that year the Presiden­ tial election for the first time was held in all the States on the same day, and the definite result was known about for­ ty-eight hours after the polls had closed. During all of the first dayfollowing anx­ ious crowds thronged lhirc^ street to hear the hourly dispatches from all sec­ tions of the vote of the previous day. News of Mr. Lincoln's nomination in 1860 was received in this city about 8 p. m. The same night some thousands of ardent Bepublicans, unorganized, par­ aded the streets with music, torches, Bo- man candles, and Bengal lights, shout­ ing for "The Flatboatman of the Mis­ sissippi !" That Mr. Lincoln was, or had been, a hard-working man, every­ body knew, and it mattered little wheth­ er he was a "flatboatman " or a " rail- splitter." Either was evidence of his being of the true type of the American self-reliant, progressive character. Since his nomination, most of our readers easily remember how, quadrennially, Presidential nominations and the results of elections have been quickly known by the electric wires. In the deep interest shown yesterday around all the bulletin boards, as the news from Cincinnati was posted, there was none of the wonder that characterized the crowds twenty years ago, when telegraphy was a novel­ ty. Familiar as all are with the opera­ tions and the infinite value of this mod­ ern application of science, still, on occa­ sions like yesterday and to-day, when, in a moment, a few clicks will inform millions who is to be the next President, most reflecting minds give a thought to the genius of Morse, and the amazing outgrowth and application of his inven­ tion of 1844, As we sat by the recording battery in our office receiving news of the stock markets and produce markets of the country, news from the convention sitting at Cincinnati, then intelligence from London that Winslow was released, then, by a few more clicks, that the can­ didates were being placed in nomination, wes for moments, thought more of Morse than Maine's bright and bold statesman. A Snake on Shipboard. Mr. Frank A. Nash writes to the Lon­ don Times: Will you kindly allow me to give your readers a short description of an interesting event which occurred at the London docks on Thursday, be­ ing the capture of a large boa-constrictor, on board the ship Surprise, which has just arrived from Port Natal, laden with wool and hides. It appears that, while at the Port, she went within the bar to load, Deing a small vessel, and conse­ quently was close to the bush. One evening, after her cargo had been shipped, while the crew were having a little jollification among themselves, one of the sailors, who happened to have a concertina, was playing various tunes for the amusement of his companions. It is supposed that the music attracted the "boa" on board, and, bsing disturbed, it must have found its way into tho hold, as the hatches were open at the time, and concealed itself among the cargo, as it was not discovered until the ship was well on her voyage home. When she arrived in dock the question aiose as to how it was to be captured, but, with the assistance of Mr. Jamrach, it was suc ­ cessfully accomplished. I have seen the reptile, and I should think it is about eight or nine feet in length, and as thick as the calf of a man's leg. It has ex­ isted during the voyage on rats and other vermin, with which, I am in­ formed, the vessel swarmed while at Port Natal, and now there is not a rat to be seen in any part of the vessel, so that in future it may be thought desir- ble to ship a "boa-constrictor" instead of other animals to catch the yermin. The Black Mills Victims. Speaking of the Black Hills bubble, the New York World says: "It must be recorded, to its shame, that the press has been the chief agency through which the heartless swindle has been wrought." This confession is candid and just Some papers published gorgeous de­ scriptions of the Biack Hills regions, its resources and attractions, in the pure spirit of sensationalism, Others have "written up" the new diggings from the most sordid and mercenary motives. At Sioux City and Cheyenne there area multitude of tradesmen, railroad agents and hotel-keepers, who, for the purpose of making money out of the wretched victims of the excitement, have acted the part of Barnegat wreckers who lure incoming ships to destruction by false lights on the shore. It is a fact not to be denied that journals in these locali­ ties have not hesitated, in the interests of their patrons, to publish stories about the wealth of tho Black Hills country as false and as fatal to all who have been deceived by them as the songs of the sirens. These piratical papers have sup­ pressed all unfavorable reports, have manufactured the most stupendous falsehoods, and have incurred the sin of blood-guiltiness by luring thousands of credulous dupes to their destruction, in order that the merchants, stage-owners and tavern-keepers of their localities might reap a blood-bought harvest, San Francisco Chronicle. Watching the Roatbotfe* * Over the ruins of a house, which was half burned, on a dreary, unpaved street in the eastern part of the city, a rosebush is slowly climbing. It is so small yet that the passer who glanoes at the blackened beams and rafters would not notice it, but for months it had no o n e t o c u t a w a y t h e r a n k g r a s s , g i v e i f c water and help it in its straggle to hide the sad work of fire. One day a little lame girl discovered the stunted bush, and her eyes filled with joy. A father buried beyond the sea--» mother in Elmwood--she lived in a cottage near the rosebush with a queer old couple, whose hearts felt kindly toward the or­ phan, but who saw nothing in the rose­ bush beyond what they might have seen in a weed. It was early spring when the child found the bush, and die car­ ried it rich earth, lifted the poor twigs with tender hands, and talked to it as if it were a playmate. Bough boys soon discoved why she visited the rains, and at first they were a mind to pull up the bush to see her weep over their work. They remembered that she was lame, and they went in and helped her move the blackened timbers. Day by day the lame girl watched the bush. When the wind moaned loudly she trembled for fear it would injure the bush, and when the raindrops fell she hoped they would not strike the leaves too harshly. No watcher was ever more vigilant, faithful, and patient. She told no one her plans, One morning a week ago" she found a bud. Every day, for days and days, die had peered among the leaves to see if a bud was forming--each day she had been disappointed, and a less brave and hopeful heart would have despaired. She smiled with joy when she found the bud, and she nestled in the grass beside the bush and watched it. The bud grew and swelled, and by and by it opened a bit and the lame girl's heart sang a joy­ ful song. Yesterday morning, when she hurried down to see the rosebush, the bud had blossomed, and a deep red rose smiled at her. There was but one bud --only one rose--it was nature's reward for the child's patient care and long watching. She carefully phicked it, and that morning people driving in Elm- wood saw a lame child tenderly drop a deep-red jrose on a "poor folk s" grave. No other ornament--no other flower. It sunk among the green grass and sparkled and shone like a star of night, and when the tears of the child fell upon it its lustre was that of a diamond. For days and weeks and months she had tended the rosebush, and watched over it to secure a flower for the grave with­ out mark or name--a grave so like the thousand others that only love could have told the child that a mother's heart was mouldering there.--Detroit Free Press. _____ A Seat Swindle. The latest Parisian swindle is clever. A well-dressed woman called on a prom­ inent mental physician and implored his aid in curing her son, who was laboring under the delusion that some one owed him 80,000 francs for diamonds which, he had sold. "Bring him here in an hour, and I will see him alone," said the doctor. The woman went at once to one of the best jewelers and, choosing 30,000 francs worth of diamonds, asked the proprietor to send his assistant with them to Dr. J. 's, who was her husband and would pay for them. The name was well known, and the clerk was sent to the doctor's with her. In the anteroom she said: " I will see if my husband is at home." She then told the doctor that her son was without, and the doc­ tor said, "Send him in here." So die sent the clerk, telling him to leave the diamonds with her. Arrived in the doc­ tor's room, the clerk was politely seated and courteously asked after his general health and habits. After replying to these questions for some time, the young man hinted that he was rather pressed for time, and w*uld be glad if the doctor would kindly pay him for'the diamonds. " Ah, true," said the doc­ tor. " The 30,000 francs. Well, by and by." Then ensued a funny scene, Thich finally ended in both parties go­ ing in search of the " mother,"and find­ ing that she had got tired of waiting and had gone, forgetting to leave the dia­ monds. If I was a young lady and had a deli­ cate, pale. sickly bean, I should tell him to take Dr. J. H. McLean's Strengthening Cordial and Blood Purifier.

E., Author of "The People** Common Sense Medical Adviser." A healthy liver secretes each d*y about two and a half pounds of bJe, which contains ft great amount of waat« material taken from the blood When the liver becomes torpid or con­ gested, it fails to eliminate this vast amount of noxious Bubstance, which, therefore, remains to poison the blood, and be conveyed to every pait of the system. What must be the con­ dition of the biood when it is receiving and re­ taining each day two and a half pounds of poison ? Nature tries to work off this poison through other channels and organs--the kid­ neys, jiangs, skin. ete.. hut these organs become overtaxed in performing this labor in addition to their natuial functions, and cannot long withstand the pressure, bat become variously diseased. The brain, which is the great electrical center of all vitality, is nnrtnlj st-imaiatsd by the <iu- healthy blood which passes to it from the heart, and it fails to perform its office healthily. Hence the symptoms of bile poisoning, which are dullness, headache, incapacity to keep the mind on any subject, impairment of memory, dizzy, eleepv. or nervous feelings, gloomy fore­ bodings, an<l irritability of temper. The blood itself being diseased, as it forms the sweat upon the surface of the skin, it is so irritating and poisonous that it produces discolored brown spots, pimples, blotches, and other eruptions, sores, boils, carbuncles, and scrofulous tumors. The stomach, bowels, and other organs <w*-nnot sscspo becoming affected, sooner or later, uid we have, agthc reauU, costiveness, pile*, dropsy, dyspepsia, diarrhoea. Other symptoms are common, aa titter or bad taste in mouth, iuier- nal heat, palpitation, teasing cough, imste&dy appetite, choking sensation in throat, hiozhng of stomach, pain in sides or about shoulders or back, cold nose of extremities, etc., etc. Only a few of the above symptoms are likely to be present in any case at one time. The liver being the great depurating, or blood-cleansing organ of the system, set this great "house­ keeper of our health" at work, and the foul corruptions which gender in the blood, and rot out, as it were, the machinery of lifa are gradually expelled from the system. For this purpose, Dr. rierce's Golden Medical Discovers, with very small doses daily of Dr. Pierce s Pleasant Purgative Pellets, is preeminently the articles needed. They cure every kind of humor from the worst scrofula to the common pimple, blotch, or eruption. Great eating ul­ cere kindly heal under their mighty curative influence. Virulent blood poisons that lurk in the Bystem are by them robbed of their terrors, and by their persevering and somewhat pro­ tracted use the most tainted systems may btj completely renovated and built up anew. En­ larged glands, tumors, and swellings dwindle sway and disappear under the influence of these great resolvents. A gentleman afflicted with the chronic rheumatism says, " No description of my cane can convey the vast amount of benefit i have received from tho use of Johnson's Anodyne Liniment. I believe it is the best article in the world for rheumatism." If life and health is worth anything, take Dr. J. H. McLean's Strengthening Cordial and Blood Purifier. It will impart vitality and strength, renovate the system and purify your blood. Dr. J. H. McLean's office, 314 Chest­ nut street, St. Louis, Mo.

For dyspepsia, it is invaluable; Many eminent physicians have doubted Whether dyspepsia, can be permanently cured by the drugs which are generally employed for that purpose. The Sea Weed Tonic in its nature is totally different from such drugs. It contains no corro­ sive minerals or acids; in fact, it assists the regular operations of nature, and supplies her deficiencies. The tonic in its nature so much resembles the gastric juice that It is almost identical with that fluid. The gastric juice is the natural solvent which, in a healthy rendition of the body, paw:"" tha,fo->d-.to.L lixe&ied; Mid when this juice is not excreted in sufficient quantities, indi­ gestion, with -U itsdist -In# syr--t-'.ns, follows.
