PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST
ARE
PAYABLE IN GOLD.

Such securities are generally valuable
in proportion to the length of time they
have to run. The longest six per cent
gold interest bonds of the U. s. (thc '81's)
will be due in II years, and they are worth
112. If they had 80 years to run, they
would stand at not less than 125. A per-
fectly safe First Mortgage Bond like the
Union Pacific should approach this rate
The demand for European investment is
already considerable, and on the compile
ton of the work will doubtless carry the
price to large premium.

Withouta Good Digestion

All other temporal blessings are comparatively
worthless. The dyspeptic millionaire who has
tried a the portions of the medical profession
in vain, and believes his complaint to be incur.
able, would give half his fortune to be freed
from the horrors of indigestion, and thus en-
abled to enjoy the other half. Of course he
,cot,ld.
Perhaps HOSTETTER'S ST0IACH BIT.
TIERS has been recommended to such sufferer.
Possibly he has turned from the friend who
made the suggestion with n sneer, intimating
that be has no faith in any patent medicine.
If this has been the case, so much the icorse for
him. His incredulity dooms him to life OF
misery. All the luxuries which wealth can
purchase are at his command. Not one ofthem
can give him pleasure. His own irrational Oh.
stinacy is his bane.
The masses, happily for themselves. are less
skeptical. There is such thing as bigoted I'm.
belief as well as bigOted ered,lity, and golden
mean between the two, which men aud women
who are gifted with common sense adopt and
profit by. These are the Ga ~ that patrOnize
and recommend HOSTETrER'S BITTERS.
Why do they approve this famous anti dyspep.
tic and antibilious preparation Simply be.
cause they have not been too much the slaves
of senseless prejudice to give il fair trial and
have found that when all other tonics, stimu.
lants and stOmachics failed, il produced the de.
sired effect.
Strike, but hear" said the Roman sage
when his ignorant enemies were assailing him.
Doubt, but try" says the man who has been
cured of indigestion, or bilOusness, or intermit.
tent fever, by the BitteTs, as he relates his ex
perenCe of the medicine to his invalid friends
Whoever is so welded to his own forgone theO
retical conclusions, as TO decline to test the
properties of a medicine endorsed by the testi
mony of intelligent men in every walk of life
and approved by the people at large, deserres to
suffer.

Ward Beecher as a Farmer.

Mark Twain writes to the Buffalo Er-
press Mr.. Beecher's farm consists of thirty
six acres, and is carried on on strict scientific
principles. He never puts in any part of a
crop without consulting his book. He
plows and reaps, and digs and sows accor-
ding to the best authorities--and the au-
thorities cost more than the other farming
implements do. AS soon as the library is
complete the farm win begin to be prof
table investment. But book farming has
its drawbacks. Upon one occasion, when
it seemed morally certain that the hay
ought to be cut, the hay book could not
be found, and before it was found i; was
too late and the lay was all spoiled. Mr..
Beecher raises some of the finest crops of
wheat in the country, but the unfavorable
difference between the cost of producing
it and its market value after it is produced
has interfered considerably with its sue
cess as q commercial enterprise. His
special weakness is hogs, however. He
considers hogs the best game farm
produces. lie buys the original pig
for dollar and a half and feeds him
forty dollars worth of corn, and then sells
him for about nine dollars. This is the
only crop he ever makes any money on.
He loses on the corn, but he makes seven
dollars and half ON the hog. He does
not mind this, because he never expects
to make anything on corn, any way. And
