Recent reports from St. Peters
burg aud Vienna, throw a differeut
light on the character of the Czar's
recent injuries. According to the last
advices, a deliberate and nearly suc
cessful attempt made on Alexander's
life, and the facts have been bidden
from the public, although they have
probably been made known to the
European governments. While out
sleighing some members of a party ot
peasants fired three shots at the Em
peror, one of the balls striking him in
the shoulder and inflicting a painful
wound. The Czr's horses took
fright and ran away, overturning the
sleigh aud throwing him out. The
miscreants were pursued by the police
and guards, but all succeeded in
escaping temporarily, there being no
direct evidence against such peasants
as were arrested on suspicion.
The Institute of tho Immaculate
Conception, Sisters of Notre Dame,
at Belleville, 111., burned on the night
of the 5th. There were about sixty
pupils in the school, ranging from 20
years to full grown, all girls, and
several teachers, besides other in
mates of the building. A number of
pupils are kuown to have jumped
from the third story aud badly Injur
ed or killed. The scene of the fire
was one of the wildest excitement
and terror, and in one hour the entire
building was a mass of ruins. When
the ruins were sufficiently cool, vol
unteers went to work to bring out
the bodies. It was a terrible sight.
At times the searchers would fiud
two or three charred masses huddled
closely together, seemingly seeking
protection in one another from the
advancing flames. It is supposed
that 22 pupils and five Sisters per
ished in the flames.
Almost everybody admits there ib
something wrong in our system. The
United States, as a nation, is to-day
the richest in the world; but the
riches are in the hands of a moneyed
few, and this accumulation of wealth
implies a threat to the freedom of the
people. If the few can buy legisla
tures, they can buy votes, they can
buy soldiers. It requires no prophet
to see that, if matters go on as they
are going in Wall street, the end will
be bloodshed. As a matter of policy,
the monopolists arc fools. Like many
a throned simpleton of the past, they
are straining the bow of tyranny to
the snapping, and they will be left
helpless before the multitude. There
is an old Book, which is thumbed in
black and gold by many a hypocrite,
whose daily life is falsehood and fraud
whose role is cruelty, whose wealth
is ill-gotten, who "puts on all the
tariff will bear," who is a fashionable
thief and a respectable scoundrel.
That book has in it a golden rule,
taught by a penniless Wanderer of
Galilee, and the rule has a modern
short cut: "Live and let alive."

A. S. FISHBLATT, M. D.,
SPECIAL ATTENTION GIVEN TO DISEASES OF
THE THROAT AND LUNGS, CATARRH KIDNEY
AND BLADDER, AND WELL AS ALL CHRONIC AND NEK-
VOUS DISEASES,.
DR. FISHBLATT
Has discovered the greatest cure in the world for weakness or the back and limbs,
involuntary discharges, impotency, general debility, nervousness, languor, eonfu
ion of ideas, palpitation af the heart, timidity, trembling, dimness of sijjht or giddi
ness, diseases of the heau throat, nose or skin, affections of the liver, luns, stom
ach or bowels those terrible disorders arising from solitary habits o( youth, and
secret practices more fatal to the victims than the songs ot Syrens to the mariners of
Ulysses, blighting their most radiant hopes or anticipations, rendering marriage
impossible.
Those that are suffering from the evil practices, which destroy their mental and
physical systems causing
NERVOUS DEBILITY,
the symptoms of which are a dull, distressed mind, which unfits them from perform
ing their business and social duties, makes happy marriage impossible, distrese-.
the action of the heart, causing flushes of heat, depression of spirits, evil forebod
ings, cowardice, fears, dreams, restless nights, dizziness, forgettulness, unnatural
discharges, pain in the back and hips, short breathing, melancholy, tire easily of
company and have preference to be alone, feeling as tired in the morning as when
rtirinir. seminal weakness, lost manhood, white bone deposit in the urine, nervous
ness, confusion of thought, trembling, watery and weak eyes, dyspepsia, constipa
tion, paleness, pain and weakness in the-limbs, etc., should consult me immediately
and be restored to perfect health.
YOUNG MEN
Who bare become victims of solitary vice, that dreadful and destructive h.ibit
which annually sweeps to an untimely grave thousands or young men of exalted
talent and brilliant intellect who might otherwise entrance listening se nators with
the thunders of their eloquence or wake to scstacy the living lyre, may call with
full confidence.
MARRIAGE.
Married persons or young men contemplating marriage be aware of physical
weakness, loss of procreative power, Impotency, or any other disqualification speed
ily relieved. He who places himself under the care of Dr. FIshblatt may religiously
confide in his honor as a gentleman, and confidently rely upon his skill as a
physician.
ORGANAL WEAKNESS
Immediately cured and full vigor restored. This distressing anliction which ren
ders life a burden and marriage impossible, is the penalty paid by the victim for
improper indulgence, loung people are apt to commit excesses irom not oeinj;
aware of the dreadful consequences that may ensue. Now who that understand
this subject will deny that procreation is lost sooner by those falling into improper
habits than by prudent? Besides being deprived of the pleasure of healthy on
springs, the most serious and destructive symptoms of both mind and body arise.
The system becomes deranged, the physical and mental functions weaken. Loss of
procreative powers, nervous irritability, dyspepsia, palpitation of the heart, indi
gestion, constitutional debility, wasting of the frame, cough, consumption and death.
A CURE WARRANTED.
Persons ruined in health by unlearned pretenders who keep them trifling mouth
after month taking poisonous and injurious compouuds, should apply immediately.
DR. FISHBLATT
Graduate of one of the most eminent colleges of the United States, has effected some
of the most astonishing cures that were ever known; many troubled with ringing in
th Aim ami head when asIeeD. zreat nervousness, beintr alarmed at certain sound.-),
with frequent blushing, attended sometimes with derangement of the mind were
cured immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. F. addresses all those who have injured themselves by improper indulgence
and solitary habits which ruin both mind and body, unfitting them for business,
study, society or marriage.
These are some of the sad, melancholy effects produced by the early habits of
youth, viz: Weakness of the back and limbs, pains in the head and dimness of
sight, loss of muscular power, palpitation of the heart, dyspepsia, nervous irritabil
ity, derangement of digestive functions, debility, consumption, etc.
