Probably never before in the whole history OF
medicine has anything won so widely and so deeply

remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series of years, and among most of the races Gf
men 1t has risen higher and higher IN their estima-
tion as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various ahectcns
of the lungs and throat have made it known as re-
liable protector against them. While adapted 10

Mt the same time the most efectual remedy tna can
be given for incipient consumption ana the uan-
Cerous affections of the throat and lungs. AS pro.
Vision against sudden attacks of Group; 1t should
be kept on hand in every family and indeed as al
are sometimes subject TO colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption Is Thought IN
curable Still great numbers of cases where the diS-
case seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry Pectoral. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it, when noth-

VUE OCTOBER GALES.

1.-THE month of October" says the New
York Mrald, twill long be memorable in
marine annals for the terribly destructive
effects of the series of cyclones, hurricanes
and gales that seem to have swept alike the
Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The telegraph
cables have been freighted with intelligence
of disasters at sea and wrecks on rock bound
coasts, in which the proportion of human survi-
vors to those lost was extraordinarily small.
October is generally moderately calm and
peaceful month, bat this year II seems TO
have rivalled November in the fury of its
storms and the destruction to ships and human
lives that follow in their wakes. The Allan
tic, from the shores of Europe, along our eX-
tended coast and amid the islands of the trop-
les, have been especially ycxed by these ter
rife storms, and since it is throngcd with
craft of every nation the loss of property and
life has been correspondngly great. Even
the placid Pacific has been visited by hurri-
canes, and one great steamer that we know OF
has been swallowed up in its treacherous
bosom We have yet to learn of the full re-
suits of these disastrous October storms
among the sailing craft in mid-ocean. Many
are yet to go on that sad list of vessels that
have gone to sea never to be heard Of more.
We already know enough to feel justified in
regarding the past month the most disastrous

experienced for many years. Moderate esti-
mates place the number of vessels lost by
wreck fire, collisions, abandonment or miss
ing, at nearly seventy. The loss of property
in ships may be reckoned at more than two
millions of dollars, not counting the value OF
cargocs, which must have exceeded forty
millions. Especially in steamers, class of
vessels generally regarded as particularly
safe, has the loss been terrible. Ten steam
crs have persisted by storm or fire.
Besides the steamers lost, there are eight
ships, seven barks, fourteen briggs and twenty
eight schooners wrecked, burned, sunk or
missing-a fearful list, which is more than
likely to be swollen by reports yet to reach us.

SECRET1R COY'S RETIREMENT


We were led to believe from the ac-
counts we saw in our exchanges that Sec
retary Cox is something os saint and
somebody else is very much sinner, but
we begin to hesitate in view of recent de-
yelopments, and incline to the opinion that
he is very much like other men, and Mrs.
Cox like other ladies. II is now asserted
that the McGarrahan claim, the disposition
of which he wished to control, while Presi-
dent Grant desired it to lay over for the
action of Congress, had more influence in
bringing about his resignation than all the
politicians and political manevures con-
nected Herewith Mrs Cox it appears is
not so resigned as Mr.. Cox since his resig-
nation, and has taken pains to vent her re-
sentiment upon Mrs. Grant in quite an in
solent manner for lady, and especially
one whose husband is so nice man as Mr.
Cox is. We hope she will become more re-
signed to her husbands resignation, and
that we shall know soon whether it was
Mr. Cox's desire and failure to reform the
civil service of the nation or meaner mo-
tive which prompted him to seek the
shades of private life.

Now is the time to preserve autumn leaves.
They should be placed between folds of any
very absorbent paper and changed frequently
as often as once in day or two. The pa
per should be placed under heavy weight,
so that the leaves may become properly
pressed as well as dried, that the process OF
decay may be arrested and the fine colors
preserved. 4 warm fiat iron judicously used
will help the drying. In making up orna-
ment work the leaves should be carefully
wiped with a cloth dipped in boiled linseed
oil. This brings out the color and gives a
more natural appearance than varnish of any
kind.

CHANGE OF GAUGE.

The change of gauge begun on certain rail-
roads in our State, the first fruits of which
were witnessed on Monday in the running of
the cars from Bangor through the Kennebec
valley to Portland without change, is an i'm
portant event in the history of our railroads.
vexed our Legislature and wearied the pa
thence of all who had anything to do with it,
making everything and everybody dance at
tendance upon it, and damaging the interest
tons Immediately concerned. But Consolida-
ton has made an end of this warfare, at which
there is without doubt feeling of relief and
qualification in all our bodies, more especially
among those who are to sit in the Legislature
or await its action. To the travelling public
and shippers Of freight the change of gauge
will be great convenience. What has al
ready been done in the way of change will be
followed by others until thorough revolution
of all the broad gauge roads in the State is
completed so that our cars may run without
interruption and our freight and passengers
without tran-shipment from Halifax to San
Francisco, when the North American and
European Railway is completed
The road upon which the change is now
effected, the Maine Central, extends from
Bangor to Danvile Junction, where it unites
with the Grand Trunk. 1t was originally
under the direction of two corporations and
was composed of two separate roads, the An
droscoggin and Kennebec and the Penobscot
and Kennebec. The Androscoggin and Ken
nebec commenced at Danville Junction, ~
miles from Portland, and ran through Au-
burn, Lewiston, Greene, Leeds, Monmouth,
Winthrop, Readfeld, Belgrade and Water
vile. 1t was opened for business in lS49.
Its length was "a 6S-l00 miles. In 1888 the
building of the Penobscot and kennebec Rail-
road was commenced and completed in 1855
1t began at Wateryille, connecting with the
Androscoggin and Kennebec, and ran through
Fairfield, Benton, Clinton, Burnham, Pitts
field, Detroit, plymouth, Newport, Etna, Car
mel, Hernon and Hampden TO Bangor Its
length was SO miles. This and the road be-
fore mentioned had the broad gauge. ) feet 6
inches, and thus made continuous broad
gauge line from Danyille Junction to Bangor,
distance of 1903 G5-l00 miles. The manage.
ment of the two roads was subsequently,
merged and the united roads have since beer
known as the Maine Central This is til,
road which has just undergone the change o
gauge from feet 6 inches to feet s L.
inches.
The active agency in bringing about hi
change is the Portland Kennebec Railroad
formerly called the Kennebec and Portlan
Railroad. This road extends from Portlan
TO Augusta, So miles, with branch to Bail
miles. 1t was opened TO Augusta in 1851
10 Bath in lS49. Its gauge is feet l.
inches, and of course no car belonging TO ii
Maine Central. adapted to the . feet inc
gauge could pass over it, and rice re,sa II
difficulty was mutual between the roads, b'
the public after all were the greatest sufferers
being obliged to tran-ship themselves an
freight from gauge to gauge, either at for'
land or Fairfield. Hence arose the sharp
