THE CAMP AT NIGHT.

Until their arrival at the plain country
on the Saskatchewan, our travellers found
no difficulty in securing good camping
quarters, matter of considerable cOnse-
quence, when ones lodging is on the
cold ground, with two feet of snow under
meath, and mayhap storm brewing
overhead. The track all day led them
through forest, across lakes, rivers
almost untrodden waste-and at night a
sheltered spot, in some forest or thicket,
served for Camping ground. The snow
was scraped away and some branches
cut to form bed. Trees were felled to
feed roaring fire, and soon men and
dogs had disposed Of their suppers and
were sound asleep, lying as close to-
gether as possible.

A DISTRICT AS LARGE AS A KINGDOM.

Mr.. W. Hardisty, the chiet-factor IN
charge Of the Mckenzie River District,
rules over territory as large as king
dom. The river which gives this district
its name is from mile to two miles
wide, and is navigable for steamers
throughout its entire length. The Slave
River and the Athabasca are considered
part of this river, but the Mckenzie
proper. exclusive Of these, is said to be
1000 miles long Below Fort Good
Hope, on the Lower Mckenzie, few
miles south of the Arctic Circle, the
river is two miles wide. Running north,
it empties itself into the Arctic Ocean;
aud, With very slight expenditure in a
couple Of places, navigation could be
secured throughout. its entire length, SO
that steamer might come from Victoria,
via Behring's Straits, and pass up to
Slave Lake, without obstruction.

A HARD ROAD TO TRAVEL.

Throughout this long and tedious jour
ney, Mr.. Mcfarland and his companion
did not encounter a single traveller, and
only very seldom saw even an Indian

prove to one unaccnstomed to this wild

Eaitl, Well Founded,

In old times, at the commencement of
every season, ii was the fashion 10 take q
strong cathartic as safeguard against q
change OF temperature. II was worse
than senscleSs practice. The people Of our
day understand the matter better. Instead
of depicting the system they reinforce II.
In the method they adopt they exhibit a
wise discrimination. Instead OF resorting
to the Initiated stmulants of commerce, or
any of the compounds derived from them.
they put their faith in the only absolutely
pure invigorant procurable in the market
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Their faith IS
well founded. Never has any tonic medi-
cine been prepared with such scrupulous
precision and conscientious care. 1t is a
vegetable compound of which every ingre-
dent is sound, wholesome, and medicinal
in the true sense of the word. Now, we
have three prominent national complaints.
One-half Of the adult population OF the
United States suffer more or less, either
from diseases of the stomach, arrangements
of the liver. or affections Of the kidneys.
In no other land under Heaven are these
maladies so general as in this country, and
Hostetter's Bitters IS a specific for them all,
unless organic in their origin, and, there
fore, beyond cure. And let those who are
fortunate enough to be exempt from them
al the present understand one great fact,
viz: that an occasional use OF this vitalizing
tonic will as certainly prevent them as the
sun VIII prevent the earth from freezing
where lis genial beams descend.

Diseases of the Lungs.

II Is more particularly at this season OF
the year that we suffer most danger OF con-
tracing diseases Of the lungs, and once
contracted there Is but one method Of rid
ding the system, and that isby systematic
course OF treatment, such as Is employed by
DIR. Keyser, of No. l67 Liberty street. There
Is no knowing whether the hacking
cough Is merely severe cold, or an actual
lung disease, which, unless stopped, may
ultimately prove fatal. DR.. kEYSER's LUNG
CURE is a remedy which has been more
successful than any other, and, indeed, we
know of uo"other that proposes to do and
does what DR.. keysers remedy performs.
DR.. kcySer claims that consumption Is not
the necessarily fatal disease ii Is popularity
supposed to be, and if the cure be taken In
time, the ailment is quite manageable and
capable of decided cure. AS DR.. keyser
says, he has had patients brought TO his
office whom even he deemed entirely be-
yond cure, and yet, after judicious course
of treatment they have recovered and re-
gained their former health. DR.. keyser has
given the best years of his life TO the study
of the lungs and OF consumption, which
makes such terrible ravages. Alter This
protracted course of study, II would be
strange ifhe was not competent to search
for evidences OfdiSeaSe and treat II success
fully where it does exist. The numerous
cases in which this physician has combated
consumption and restored health and vigor
form O sufficient recommendation for his
Lung Cure. sl.5o per bottle: II your drug

wasn't to have the English mission
then the carbuncle disappeared and

period. Suddenly SCHENCK, elected, de-

buncle, sent to England, positively re,

Tur Pacific railway companies are

THE Pacific railway companies are
rclyipr too much upon their ability in
conjunction with all the other monopo,
lies of the country 10 carry their points
in spite of the power Of the people
Their refusal TO pay interest on the
bonds loaned them at the rate of Sl6,'
600 TO $4,000 per mile, amounting to
between S6O,OO0,0O0 and s70,000,O0O in
the aggregate, can be explained on no
other hypothesis than their belief IN
their own omnipotenee.
They not only refuse TO pay the In
terest but actually demand payment Tor
carrying the mails and for other Gov
ernment transportation. 1t seems that
thew have either refused TO transport
Government troops to the Pacific coast
or else charge such exhorbitant rates
that the Government has actually taken
troops from Missouri 10 the Atlantic to
be transported by the Southern route
What does this mean2 We thought
that one of the great objects of charter
ing the Pacific companies and granting
them lands and bonds was to aid the
Government in her management OF the
vast region west of Kansas and Ne.
braska And yet what do We see?
Had not the company considered
itself omnipotent 1t would not have re-
fused to pay the interest Oh the bonds,
since they had reason to suspect that
such refusal would dangerously excite
the public Indignation. They evidently
have no fear of the public. Even if
cramped for cash to pay the inter, ST,
they should have been glad to let the
transportation service he Endorsed on
the interest account.
1t is now more and more clear to he
public, as we predicted two years ago,
that these Pacific companies will swim
die the Government out OF lands, bonds,
interest and all. Our officials at Wash
ington themselves begin to believe that
such is their intention.
