How Mans Life is Sometimes Pro-
l0nged.

Below will be found certificate from one of
our most respectable citizens, residing in Patton
township, regarding the efficacy of DR.. KeYser's
Pectoral Syrup, medicine which we have
favorably known for long time, and which is
attested by hundreds Of our immediate citizens,
in every walk in life. Whatever some NAV
think of what are usually termed patent medi-
cines, we have entire confidence IN DR.. Key
ser'S Pectoral, as We are assured that the Doctor
prepares every ounce Of it with his own hands
''Some time ago. an old neighbor of mine was
very i'll with bad cough, which every one
supposed to be consumption. His relatives told
me that he had taken every remedy they heard
of without benefit, his brother came to see him
die, and all were confirmed in the belief that he
could not live. / had about third of bottle
of your PectoIal Syrup, which l gave him, and
it entirely cured him to the astonishment of all.
What makes the case more remarkable is the
extreme age Of the man, he being about eighty
years old. have no doubt the Pectoral saved
his life. JOHN MGINNIS.

The Gamblers in Council.

The Gamblers of the United States are hold
ing National Convention in Chicago. They
are SAID, by the Democrat, ofthat city, to make
decided sensation, being distinguished by
their sleek appearance, sharp looks and display
Of fjpwelry. The purposes Of the Convention
are, first, TO revise The old rules and establish
ones Tor their games and second, TO impose on
the profession non-inteffeIence in politics.
The Importance OF the first reform is indicated
by the fact thai several lives have been lost in
broiIs arising from different constructions of the
rules AS foT the second, it seems to us, iudg-
ing from recent revelations and notorious facts
respecting the habits of leading public men, that
an obv ious way to effect it is 10 exclude politi-
clans from gambling houses measure which
would almost involve annihlaiion of the busi-

canada and tta United States.

A correspondent OF the Journa! of Commerce
saws that though neither her Majesty nor prince
Albert can crafty the Canadians by visit, yet
one of her Sons-the Prince who has lust enter
ed the navy, Alfred, born in l8+4-wi!l appear
as their representative. You must have hee-
ded the frequent interviews OF the distinguished
Canadian delegates in London with the members
Of the Cabinet. and the extraordinary iaSors,
Invitations the palace, and SO forth, which
they have received from the CouIt. The main
object is proclaimed to be a federation OF the
British North American Colonies the railway
across The British territory 10 the Pacific COAST
is, however, coordinate and nece ssarily or
lntrgrally connected. The study Of The British
government is no longer confined to the means
ofsimpIy preventing the colonies from annex
ing themselves or bring annexed 10 the RePubll-
can Union, but how to create an equal, rival
British n0wer, the whole breadth of the contl-
nrnt conterminous with the American popula-
ton. The Toronto correspondent OF the Lon
don Morning Post, remarks-'lt has become
an utter impossibIity TO arrest that onward
movement which will make Canada formida-
bic rival Of The dlsointed and therefore misna-
med United Stltes." The Post Of the 23d or
cath contains a communication on the Atlantic
and pacific junction, " hich should not escape
your notice. The writer HAD well studied his
important subject. He explains in detail the
relative positions in the Case OF Great Britain
and our Republic. 1 shall venture 10 offer you
here a short extract
"In America we have 4 ri:al that fully ap-
preclates the necessity of railroad communica-
ton with the West. Assuredly she will strain
every sinew to beat US in accomplishing this
gigantic undertaking. Let us first consider our
own status in the matter, then that OF our highly
entr7prising rival. England is already further
across the huge continent Of America than are
the Americans themselves in forming a basis OF
operations for a railroad to the Pacific. In our
British North American possessions the route is
FEASIBLE of construction, and is superior to any
which the United States afford"
Bat the correspondent shows further that, in
point OF tune, Britain cannot compete with
America in the Southern transit the more
imperative, therefore, an overland route through
the British possessions. He describes the Ameri-
can overland mail, and adds
''The same contractors are in readiness TO
contract with the British and American Govern
ments 10 carry mail from St. Paul and
PeInbina 10 Fraser River, through British
America"
