INFLUX OF F~oREtGNHRs.--An article in the
New York Journal Of Commerce, based on sta
~tistical authorities, gives the whole Number of
foreigners arriving In our country in thirty-six
years, ending with 1906, as 100000, averaging
Gill per annum.
During Is years ending Jan. /, 1874, there
arrived III New York alone, 6Sl,4SJ, averaging
1881 per annnm. During the first seven of
these years the average was rs, 960, and during
The last eight years Sd, 1876. In these Is years
the total immigration into the United States Is
estimated at 100000, averaging go. 1896 per
anium, which Is eleven times greater than the
average Of The thirty six years ending in 1916.
GusPowDER NuLIIPrEp.--It is 4 singular fact
that a French officer has discovered a method Of
taking away the explosive properties Of gunpow-

experiment, two barrelsof the powder thus mix
cd were placed one upon the other, and The
lower one lighted. It burnt in about twenty
minutes, but the caloric developed had so little
force, that the upper barrel was but lightly
charrsd, and It's contents uninjured. The pow

OIL OF TANNIN,
OR LEATHER RESTORER,
A NEW CHEMICAL DISCOVERY

A NEW CHEMICAL DISCOVERY
Most people know that skins and hides are convert
ed into leather by the use of Tannin extracted from
certain barks, &c.
When the force and strength Of the Tannin is worn
out, leather becomes dead hard dry brittle cracked,
covered with crust, &c. THIS ALL KNOW. To re-
store, them life, solness, mostness, strength smooth
ness and ramove all crust fly or blister-restore the
tannin This substance the leather never can receive
the second tme but the whole virtues of it are in
this article, the OIL OF TANNIN-which pene-
rates the stest and hardest leather if it has been
twenty years in use and if it tears easily with the
fingers, it imparts at strength that is utterly
Incredible until seen. 1t becomes like new leather
in all respects, with delightful soness and polish
and makes all leather completely and perfectly inn
pervious to water-particuary boots, shoes, carri-
age-tops, harness, hose trunks and in fact all things
made of leather, giving splendid polish even high
er than new leather has, and at least doubling its
and durability, in whatever manner the leather
is used. THESE ARE FACTS.
Those who will may wear old Shoes groan with
corns ride with old carrage-tpps-have old harness.
and throw them away half used-look filthy them
selves and all about theni-expend double what is
necessary for articles Of leather to thor hearts con-
tent, for what we care, if their prejudces are so
strong they will DOT try new discovery. We have no
favors to ask Of Them they the greatest sufferers
aud we beg for nobody's custom or patronage Now,
gentlemen, please yourselves.

this performance, are from the Portland Daily Ad-

to the observation to this performance. Nonsense,
says one. Beautiful. adds another. Horrible, splen-
did, silly, and grand epithes profusey lavshed
Surely that man is poet who gains such praise and
such abuse. And verify we believe Evans can and
did write poetry. There were parts OF this Poem
which appeared pure and gorgeous poetry for in

WORMS! WORMS! woRMs!!!

Of all diseases to which children are exposed
none are so fatal to them as worms. Unfortunately,
children are seldom free from them, and as they
initiate the symptoms of almost every other COM
plant they often produce alarming effects wthoat
being suspected. Worms are not only cause of
disease themselves, but by their irritation aggravate
all other diseases, wandering from one part Of the
body to another, winding themselves into large balls,
and obsrucng the bowels, and frequently the throat
causing commissions and too often death The best

SWAYNE'S
Compound Syrup
of Wild Cherry, in
Pulmonary CONSUME
TON, have excited the as
tonshment of all who have wit
messed its marvellous effects; there is
no account of medicine, from the earliest
ages furnishing parallel; the almost
miraculous cures effected by this
extraordinary medicine, are I'M
precedented. One among
the many certificates
may be seen

CINCINNATI, Feb. Is, 1s4O
DR.. SwAYNE-Dear Sir:
DERN1IT nae to take the liberty of writing to you
at this time to express my appreciation and to
recommend to the attention of heads of families and
others your invaluable medicine--the Compound
Syrup Of Frunus Virginiana, or Wild Cherry Bark.
In nay travels of late, have seen, in great many
instances the wonderful effects Of your medicine in
relieving children of very obstinate complaints, such
as Coughing, Wheeling, Choking of Phlegm, Asth-
matte attacks, &C., &c. should not have written
this letter, however, at present. although have felt
il my duty to add my testimony to for some time
had il not been for late instance where the med-
cine above alluded to was instrumental IN restoring
TO perfect health an sonly child" whose case was
almost hopeless, in a family Of my acquaintance. 81
thank Heaven" said the doatng mother, +" my child
is saved from the Jaws of DEATH" and now say and
believe that, beyond all doubt, DR. Swayne's Com
pound Syrup of Wild Cherry is the most valuable
medicine in this any other country. am certain
have witnessed more than one hundred cases where
it has been attended with complete success. | am
using it myself an obstinate attack of Bronchitis in
which it proved effectua in exceedingly short
time considering the severity OF the case can re-
commend it in the fullest confidence of its superior
virtues would advise that no family should be
without it; it is very pleasant and always beneficial
worth double, and often ten times its price. The
public are assured there is no quackery about it.

vent their evil effects on the system, and act as a

Dr.. JAYNE'S TONIC VERMIFUGE,

which is perfectly safe, and pleasant that children
will not refuse to take it. 1t ehectuay destroys
/ WORMS; neutralizes acidity or sourness of the
stomach, increases appetite, and acts as general
and permanent Tonic, and Isl therefore, exceedingly
beneficial in Intermittent and Remittent Fevers In
digestion, &C., and is certain and permanent cure
for FEVER and AGUE. 4as
It not only destroys Worms and invigorates the
whole system, but it dssolves and carries off the SUI
perabundant slime or mucous SO prevalent in the
stomach and bowels of children more especially OF
those in bad health This mucous forms the bed or
nest in which worms produce their young; and by
removing tit is impossible for worms to remain in
the body. ~
It is harmless in its effects on the system, and the
health of the patient is always improved by its use,
even when no Worms discovered. Numerous
certificates of its usefulness have been received,
which the proprietor does not consider necessary
publish yet to give the reader idea of its verm
fuge powers, he will mention few cases. He gave
it to his little nephew not four years old, and in
few days he discharged upwards of ninety large
worms. He also gave ii to his daughter, then about
three years old, when it brought away thirty worms
In one night .2L 4-t a..
Josiah Thompson, near Salem, N. j.. administered
this Vermifuge to child between two and three
years Old and says that in few days she discharged
one hundred and twenty-seven large Worms.
Mr.. Joseph A. Lents, of the Penn Township Sa-
wings Institution, in this city, gave it to one Of his
chdren and says that after the sixth dose il brought
away about fifty Worms at once, five and six inches
long.
Mr.. Ferdinand Woodruff used two bottles of this
Yermlfuge for DYSPEPSIA and in the course of
two weeks discharged upwards OF thirty pieces of
TAPE WORM, and was thereby perfectly cured
Another gentleman Of this city had it administered
to his little daughter, about three years old, when
she had number Of discharges from her bowels,
composed entirely of little white thread worms He
says, ethey came away from her, not only by hun
dreds, but may truly say, by thousands, separately
and in solid balls as large as hickory nuts, composed
entirely of dead worms
