THE BUSINESS PRosPEcr.-The New York
Stockholder, an authority on financial matters,
tolras this aucourapinp view of affairs:


Nothing is more positively indicative OF ac-
tive business in the country this year than the
fact that nearly up to midsummer Ihere mas
"a usnal heretofore at this season. Much mo-
new is doubtless in use in enterprises as yet un-
nrodnctiye. The opening of the Pacific Rail
road has drawn into the far West money from
which immediate returns will hardly be ex-
nected. The great stretch of railway in con
sstruction in all parts of the country involves
the accumulation at remote points of large
sums to meet the monthly or fortnightly pay
rolls. These sums indeed, get back to manu- manu-
featuring and importing points on the A.iaI ali
tic seaboard, yet hardly before an, new vspPaInder
becomes due. The movement OF 'nr nTodnct and
of last seasons cereal and meab hap been gener-

Ayers Cherry Pectoral,

F'Or Diseases OF GQ6 InrOab duQ Lungs
such Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma, "a
and Consumption. -
Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, has anything won so widely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series of years, and among most of the races of
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made it known as
liable protector against them. While adapted to
mlder forms of disease and to young children, it is
at the same time the most efectual remedy that
be given for incipient consumption, and the dam
gerOus affections of the throat and lungs. AS pro-
vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
be kept on hand in every family and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in
durable, still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry PectOraI. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When moth
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee
tOraI they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro-
lection from it.
asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pect0raL in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here or do more
than assure the public that its qualities are fully
maintained.

A Fair View of the Bont Race from "A On
madam Paper.

The Canadian papers exult mildly over the
result of the boat race, but not so much as
might be expected. We find the following Gu
rious confessions in the Toronto Globe, from
which it appe,rs that physical and not intel
lectual training is regarded as OF paramount
importance in England:
1t would have been rather against the nat
ural order of things had Harvard been sue
cessiul. Boating, as q pursuit for gentlemen,
has long been an institution in England.
Many of the Oxford and Cambridge men COM
mence pulling when they are small boys at
Eton. The Eton eight is always crew that
fearlessly challenges competition, and II their
strength was in proportion to their skill they
would be formidable opponents for any crew.
Those who take to boating at Eton are often
times the same men who afterwards figure
in the races at the two Universities. Fresh
from the Thames they come to the Isis
and the Cam, where everything relating
to the management of a boat is taught with
quite as much care as that bestowed on men
tai accomplishment, and, it is hardly necessa-
nv to add, studied much more assiduously. In
fact, young boating men think boat, talk boat,
and live only to enlarge their muscle and re-
duce unnecessary flesh 1t is not until they
have made their mark in the boating chroni-
cles of their college, or aseertained that they
are unlikely 20 attain this celebrity, that they
gave their serious thoughts to lectures ana
reading. This has gone on for generation at
ter generation in England, while on the other
hand, the severe training OF boats crews is
more or less OF recent date in the nited States.
There young men attend the universities to
study, not, as rule, to play cricket or boat;
and though Harvard has shown how excellent
a crew she can turn out, when required, we do
not think she can justly be disappointed at
having been beaten by Oxford. 1t is aues-
ton whether happy medium might be found
between the customs of English and American
Universities. English undergraduates could
well afford liste more time to study and we
believe more boating and the introduction Of
cricket to American Colleges would be found
to produce excellent results. Physical devel-
opment is no bad companion to mental cul-
ture.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THE
SoUTH.-A traveller in Georgia reports
conversation he heard in party of South
csn men. Said one of the party: "Adams
told US some pretty strong things. They
may be true-I think they are-but it
was hard to take No Black Republican
would dare to have told us so in South
Carolina" Up rose quiet old man, evi-
dently an old Southerner, and in truly ell
oquent tones addressed the last speaker
" My friend, you have stated the cause of
all our present difficulties Until Black
Republican, or any man, of any party, can
safely and freely give his opinion, and
point out our faults in a respectful man
ner, in South Carolina or elsewhere, this
country is not what it should be, nor what
it will be-" There was very profound
silence for few minutes after this, and
the old gentleman's homily will be likely to
be remembered by his ardent listeners, in
connection with the good words left them
by Mr.. Adams

SHASTA COURIER.

SMALL vs.. LARGE FARMs-Robert Bake
well, the celebrated English farmer, used to
tell the following anecdote of farmer in
Leicestershire
This farmer, who owned and occupied 1000
acres of land, had three daughters When
his eldest daughter married, he gave her one
quarter of his land for her portion but no
money and he found, by little more speed,
and little better management, the product
of his farm did not decrease. He then set to
work and began to grub up his furze and
fern, and plowed up what he called his poor,
dry furze, covering in some places nearly half
of the land. After giving half bis land away
to two of his daughters, to his great surprise
he found that the product increased he made
more money, because his new broken furze
land brought excessive crops, and at the same
time he farmed the whole of his land better,
for be employed more laborers upon it; he
rose two hours earlier in the morning, had no
more dead falows once in three years in
stead of which, he got two green crops in one
year, and ate them upon the land. When
the third and last daughter married, he gave
her $50 acres, one half Of what remained, for
her portion, and no money. He then found
that he had the same money to farm one
quarter of the land that he had at first to farm
the whole.
