productive. Used alongside of Peruvian guano.

A NXA The foreign and domestic demand

and We think the time has arrived
when the declaration may be made without the
possibility of refutation, that the city of Pr0vi-

ted States of America, has furnished the entire
habitable globe with medicine, which, in point
OF universally of demand, extent of usefulness,
complete efficiency for all the purposes for which
it Is designed and wide spread, enduring popu-

The uniUersality of the demand for the Pain

has also been sent to China, and we doubt if there
is any foreign port any inland city in Africa or
ASIA which is frequented by American and Eu-
ropean missionaries, travellers or traders, into
which the Pain Killer has not been introduced

CORNER LoAFERs.-A Philanthrophic "chron-
icler of events" in looking around for a subject
to satisfy his ravenous pen thus deals with the
useless atoms of space that shang around the
corners" when man has not brains enough
to appreciate any other form of amusement, has
not whole suit of clothes to wear anywhere else,
has no money to spend and is too lazy to earn
anv. he adopts the profession of cornel loafer,
and can be found hanging around the junction of
Cur streets If he has good luck one cheek will
be distended with chew of borrowed tobacco,
and if the face of fate wears peculiarly broad
smile, he will puff away at the stump OF five
cent cigar that some one has given him. That
he is an intolerable pest and nuisance is TACT
he is too thickheaded to comprehend and has not
sufficient self-respect to heed if he did compre-
bend it. The police can do little with him.
When told to move on, he moves on to the next
corner. To appear in print will not hurt his feei-
ings, for he never reads the papers. He is one OF
the puzzles OF civilization. There appears no
way to reach him or get rid of him, and we can
only wait in patience for the time when his lazi-
ness shall make him unwilling to draw another
