success, issued from our tunnel into the open day
beyond. We were SO delighted with the perform
ance of our boat, and so confident in her powers,
that we would not have hesitated TO leap fall Of
ten feet with her. We put to shore for breakfast at
some willows on the right bank, Immediately below
the mouth of the caflon; for it was now o'clock,
and we had been working since daylight, and were
all wet, fatigued, and hungry While the men were
preparing breakfast, went out to reconnotre The
view was very limited. The course Of the river
was smooth, so far as l could see; on both sides
another high ridge. The rock at the mouth of the
cation was still the decomposing granite, with great
quantities of mica, which made very gliticring
sand

twenty minutes reached the next cation. Landing
on rocky shore at its commencement, we ascend.
ed the ridge to reconnoitre Portage was out of the
question. So far as we could see, the Jagged rocks
pointed out the course of the caiion on a winding
line of seven or eight miles. Il was simply mar
row, dark chasm in the rock; and here the perpen-
dcular faces were much higher than in the previous
pass, being at this end two to three hundred, and
further down, we afterwards ascertained five hum
dred feet in vertical height Our previous success
had made us bold, and we determined again TO run
the cafion Everything was secured as firmly as pos
sible and, having Invested ourselves Of the greater
part Of our clothing, pushed into the stream To
save our thermometer from accident, Mr.. Preuss
took II, and attempted to proceed along the shore
ON the masses Of rock, which in places were piled
up on either side; but, after he had walked about
hve minues, everything like shore disappeared, and
the vertical wall came squarey down into the water
He therefore waited until we came up. An ugly
pass lay before U.S. We had made fast to the stern Of
the boat strong rope about fifty feet along; and

Fifty millions of tons, at twenty dollars ton, which

perhaps, to all the gold and silver that have been
found on this continent since its discovery by Co
lumbus. And TO carry away the guano from Chincha
at once, would require seven eight times as much
shipping as there is in all the world

Splitting of Blood,

NIGHT SWEATS AND PAIN IN THE SIDE.
Jonathan Haworth, Esq. the well known Ten
perance Lecturer, was attacked with cold from
sleeping in damp sheets, in the winter of lS4l. II
neglected il at first, but soon found il assuming
somewhat alarming aspect, and then resoIted to
the various remedies usually recommended for lung
complaints. When one thing failed he tried an
other, until ne had exhausted his patience and the
whole catalogue of remedies. His cough was al
most incessant, so that he could get little or no
sleep-attended with pain in his side, splitting of
blood, night sweats, and all the usual symptoms
Consumption. While at Rome, IN " he felt that
his end was nigh-that in that place he must soon
end his journey of life. Providentay LADY
who visited him advised a trial of DIR Sherman's
Cough Lozenges. He accordingly sent and gotta
box, and the first dose gave him more relief than
all the other medicines he used before By the
time he had taken one small box, he was able to
start for the city of New York, and in three weeks
time he perfectly restored to his usual health
He often announces the fact to his hearers, when
lecturing on Temperance, and says he owes his
life to DR. Sherman's Lozenges

on the third, 1t seemed il il would be Fashions
until they arrived at the post, when she passed
by about length. But il was upon the fourth mile
of this heat that the intense interest con-
centrated. IL was full of varied aspects. Now Pey-
tona, row Fashion was ahead-then Peytona-and
even after passing the drawgate up to within few
feet Of the judges stand, it seemed anybody's heat
But at that point, the souherner made of those
magnificent strides for which she is renowned, and
at once there length between her and her van
pushed rival.
This heat was done in 45, as announced by
the judges and the following is the official result Of
the race:
UNION COURSE, LONG ISLAND, May, Is, Isas.
The great match the North and the South for
S20O00-four mile heats.
The North enters william Gbbons's CHI. m. Fashion, 4

The South enters Mr. Krkman's oh. m. Peytona, by
Imp Glencoe ,s out Of Giantess By Imp aevsthsn
G. Palmer)-bue jacket and blue cap
Time: 393-7 45t.
The defeat Of Fashion, in this race, was entire,
indisputable. She has found her match in Peytona,
who, by her powerful strength, her immense action,
and her youth, has been enabled to take the lead Of
beautiful favorite, and keep II too, from the
first the the last. Throughout the first heat, they
ran almost together, Fashion never falling behind
length, until they arrived at the winning post; and
never once fairly passing Peytona. The second
heat was run in still more neighborly Manner as
will be from our account, each gaining a tenn
porary advantage over the other, not amounting to
full length, hewever, until the close, when Pey-
tona settled the contest in the summary manner we
have described. 1t was tapping race from begin
ming to end, in which both horses showed blood,
bottom, and breeding, to an admirable degree; and
convincing everybody who was good judge, that
though the northern mare matched, she was not
very much over-matched, though the loser in this,
their first race together. Both are horses to be
proud of, and both ran well. Therefore, so far as
honor is concerned, "Let both divide the crown"
