MANY Wiiv AGE SUFFEBLNG from the effects of the warm weather and are debill- tated, are advised by physicians to take moderate amounts of whisky two or three times during the @sy. Ine little while those who adopt this advice frequently increase the number of “drinks” and in time become confirmed inebriates. A beverage which will not creste this thirst for intoxicating Bquors. and which is intended especially for the Denefit of debilitated persons, whether at home or abroad, is Dr. Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic. Contain- ing the juices of many medical herbs, this prepara- ftom does not create an appetite for the intoxicating eup. The nourishing and the life supporting prop- erties of many valuebie natural productions con- taimed fn ft and well known to medical men havea Most strengthening influence. A single bottle of the ‘Fenic will demonstrate its valuable qualities. For debility arising from sickness, over exertion or from any cause whatever, a wincglassful of Sea Weed ‘Tonic taken after meas will strengthen the stomach end create an appetite for wholesome food. To all ‘who are about leaving their homes, we desire to say that the excellent effects of Dr. Schenck’s ssasonable Pemedies, Sea Weed Tonic, sud Mandrake Pilis, are particularly evident when taken by those who are faguriousiy affected by a change of water aad dict Blo person should leave howe without taking a sup Diy of these safeguards along.

He is now quite fll and confined to bed at Lis resi- dence tn this city where he has been since bis rejurn to the city from Mountain Lake, Va., about tres weeks ago. His symptoms indicate serious disease of the brain, but he has been iational throughout his illness exeept that like other sufferers from totlam- matory ailments his mind has sometimes wandered while the fever was at its height.

His physicians feel encouraged.” General Tyner thinks there must have been some mistake in transmitting the last dispatch, as the first simply representa him as suffering from @ pain in the side. The general impres- sion is that the conditioa of the Senator is Se aa his friends care to mit. THE SITTING BULL ComMMISSION.—Gen.

STEALING Gove! iT LUMBER.—Sec- retary Schurz states that in his laves'iga- tion Into the timber depredations, whic have been enormous, he has thus far 8e- cured most satisfactory results. Tous far in Minnesota and Louisiana he has accom- plished all that he expected, and will save nally in net results many thousands of dol- lars to the government. This has been mainly accomplished by entirely stopping the plan of compromise beretofore carriet out by arranging with the parties who have been detect in stealing and selling it to them at a compromise price. He now, in- stead of Kgs posergend ata loss to the grv- erpment, will exact the highest market price and thus make them, he says, lose their Jabor, at least, as a penalty.

The President responded, saying: —* Your mayor tells us that tie town of Nashua has bsea visited by the Chief Magistrate of the nation four times—Monroe, Jackson, Pierce and Grant. Surely 1 do not wish to name these distinguished, patriotic statesmen of the past with a view to provoke comphrisoa. We all know what these men have accomplished, and Of all that they have accomplished for their country, how little of it v is now best remembered is connected in any way with any political party.

THE BALTIMORE WoRKINGMEN’S PAR- TyY—The Color Question Raises a Commotion. — An adjourned ok of the Workingmen’s clty convention was held last night in Bal. timore, the various wards being fully repre- sented. A great amount of time was spent in discussing the proper name which should be given to the new th fb pe in argaing over and rejecting resolutions as to the male The Oriental War. DISTURBANCES IN GREECE. The latest news from Tarkey shows that there is @ renewal of act vity, not only at the actual scene of operations between the Turks and Russians, but also in places where disturbance has hitherto been merely latent, Thus Reuter’s Athens telegram announces that an insurrection has broken out in Crete. The Turks have takeu refuge in the fortre: The Christians have retired to the moun- tains. Two engagements have been fought, one in the department of Canea and the oth. r in Retimo. These, although unimportant tn tWemselves—only thirty-six Tarks and sev- erteen Ckristians being killed—mark the be- ginning of a movement which is spreading into Sphakia. Greek journals published in Constantinople state that Thessaly is io a state of brigandage, and express the hope that Greece will not assist tue movement Which has upquestiovatly commenced there. Reuter’s dispateb from Consiantinople states tbat the Porte is taking measures to prevent the enrollment of volunteers for Greece. A flotilla of Turkish gunboats aud cutters are watebing te coast. Reinforcements have been sent to Thessaly and Ep ras. Thedis- tricts of Thessaly in the region of Mount Athos and Larissa have been declared in a state of siege. The Ottoman commander at Larissa telegraphs, Angust 22d, that a bat- talion and a balf of Tarkish infantry, with two guus, defeated two hundred Greek ban- dits who landed after seveo hours’ march trom Larissa. The Tarks captured 122 rifles avd a qaanuty of ammunition, The fled to the woods It is reported that the Greek minister at Constantinople has assur- ed the Porte that the insurgents in Taessaly are simply brigaods, The Bosnian insur- rection @So appears to have broken out again. FIGHTING AT NUMEROUS POINTS. A Reuter telegram from Agram announces | that sai guinary figaiing has been going oa for the last_ three days, near Covipatak, by tween the Turks and insurgents, under ( tub. All Saib claims to have ‘repnised a Montenegrin attack on Podgaritza, and Sormed Montenegrin foruded positions. Telegrams from tho seat of war seem to show that the Tarks nave at last commenced Serious Op-ralion agains the Russian p Uons from tiree sides S:multaneously. Tt Bucharest telegram states that) Ost Pasha commands to person a strong recou- noitering force near Seivi. Tuts reconnots- sauce may accouut for the previous report of an attack on Selvi. A Russian official tele- gram, dated Garny-Stuien, Augast 22, eve- DINg, ays: ‘As Well as ALLACKS In Lhe direc- tou of Shipka and Seivi, the Tarks have made attempts to break in upon the Rassiaa outposts on the side of Rustchax, Ras- grad, Shumla and Eski-ijjama. Mehroot All, who commands in tat section of the country, telegrayhs to Constantinople on Au- gust 2, claim that his forces have re- puised six Russ'an battalions, recaptured the heights of Seghardi, and also repulsed tte Russians before Rasgrad and achieved other minor successes.” RK -uler's Constanti- nople dispateh dated August 25, evening, contains the followiog: “Telegrams received here announce that the Ras lans have been defeated and driven back with great loss in &@D important battle near Eski-Dj ama.’ Coax Firry Cents A Ton HIGHER ~The New York Tribune of yesterday says:—The of nominating candidates for various offices.

Atan early stage of the meeting signs of dissension were visible, but when a resolution was offered invitirg the co-operation of colored men who would pledge themselves to support the movement, # very stormy scene ensual. The opposition to the resolution was of the most determined character, and it was evi- dent that an unlooked-for elemeut had arisen, for the existence of which no provis- jon had been made. The resolution was finally tponed indefinitely, and the meet ing broke up without having accomplished avything leading toward progres: DAMAGE BY LIGHTNING Is Loupos County, Va.—During astorm on Wedies day afternoon, an old barr, on the farm o Mr J.

The vice president of the Pennsyivania com- Dy said to @ Tribune reporter that he o1 ered yesterday an increase of fifty cents a ton on the pr.ce, but he wished it understood thal this was not Lo be considered as apply- ing to coal still to be got out of the mines. Advices received by him from Fall River and other eastern depots indicated that the yards were well filled, and even if the miners should not resume work before winter, the demand was not likely to be very great. Tne company, he stated, had a large amount of coal on hand and it was the price of this which he bad thought proper to Increase. The prospect Was that if the miners resumed Work bext Week, the price of coal would fall to the former rate before cold weather set 1a. alg of the Delawere and Hudson ny Stated Lhat there had been an eake of ten cents made In the price of reoal, Ths is an inerease on the last vounts to @ rise of about for ents On their last published schedule, Taey consider this increase a$ a naiural couse- q @Lve Of the troubles at the mines, and, al- kh they do not apprehend any further Ssity for raising tne price, they hardly ‘bink it will be lowered again until the ers become more seitied.

In THE National BOARD oF TRADE Milwaukte, Wisconsin, yesterday, the com- mittee to whom Lue subject was referred last year presented @ report strongly urging tae re-enactment ol the reciprocity treaty with Canada, and closing with a series of resolu- Uons requesting the President to recommend to Congress to provide for commissioners to confer with commissioners from Great Britain on the subject. Tne committee on resumption reported @ resolution, which was adopted, that Congress has omitted to pass the becessary measures to carry the pron A Uon act into effect, and that Congress shouid enact @ law authorizing the funding of the legal-tender notes in bonds running forry years and bearing four per cent. interest per annum, payable quarterly, toan amount not exceeding *10,000,000 per month, until the Jegal-tender notes shall be at par with coin. The committee on baukrupt law reported a series of resolutions, which were adopted, reciting that the exis'iog bankrupt law of the country is unjust and ought Lo be repealed or amended so as to avoid great wrongs that are now perpetra‘ed under its sanction.

THE PRESIDENT IN SHIKE His Parting speech at Nashan. Nasuva, N. H., Auguat 24.—Tae Presiden- | tial party took their places in the sp cars assigned to them at tive o'clock yesier- day afternoon, en route for Worcesier. A very enliusiastic crowd assembled at the Tear of the train and the Presi tent was re peatedly. urged to speak. He spoke as fol- | lows:—“1 have spokea so often and so much in New Hampshire, and especially in this town of Nashua, that I hardly know bow to start. I feel rather like going through that military evolation, which is Sometimes ne- cestary, of marking time; it makes no pro- gress. There are a number of things on which we, I think, agree, and tu this Sort of & Misceilaneous assemblage, wirich is made up of republicans, democrats aad in dependen’s, made up of men of different secta, avd possibly some, and many, wh sect at all of capttalists aud laborers. It is desirable to discuss rather those things in | which we agree than those things ia wuich weditfer. We have occasion daliy to me: and discuss our differences. Political m -et- | ings are for that purpose. These meet ings are largely denom national, secta rian, but this is a gathering in whic | Communica NEW HAMP. i trust the general spirit is a desire for harmony, for jfiendship, agreement, ard that really is th: guiding sentiment so far as my pur, are concerned of this administration to bring people to- gether who have heretofore been divided Among those ideas about which we ageee are these—we are agreed that this terriiory embraced within the United States from the tropics almost tothe frigid zone; from the Atlantic to the Pacific, 1s hereafter inde- Structibly one nation; and again, it ie a na- tion composed of states, all of which states have equal rights, and it is crowded with in- habitants of different races, nationalities, employments and differences of life, all of whom have equal rights. Now these are I three great ideas, and the fourth is that the national government has all Within the sphere of its proper constitutional rights. It is supreme. All this I think we are agreed on, and if there be any chart on which aay one shall attempt to make out the course that this administration is to take they should make it out in accordance with ail four of these ideas, if we succeed in what wedesire. That there will be shortcomings; that there will be gross blunders some:imes, that there wili be mistakes, is no doubt trae, for the government, like the people. is hu man in its origin, and may, therefore, err. Our purpose is always to try to remember that while the natioval governmeat is su- preme, while the Union is to be one forever, the rights of states and the rizhts of individ? uals are to be equally regarded forever. [A ‘Amen! But this is altogether too 1 kee, for the temper of this crowd my own part, I woull rather joke with you.
