UGITIvE HEARD FROM.

THE FUGITIVE HEARD FROM.
The next that was heard from Mr..
Meiggs, he was superintendent of
bridges on the Valparaiso and Santa
60 Railroad. in Chill. This road had
been under construction for years, had
ruined every contractor wLo had un-
dertaken to build it, and was the des-
spair of the Chillian Government.
Meiggs built his bridges well, and
studied the Chileonos, the Govern
ment, the possibilities of constructing
the road over the mountain, and the
Spanish language, while he was build
ing them. Pearce & Velaseo, the con-
tractors with whom he first engaged
failed aud gave up their CONTRACT. An
English engineer named BERNARD next
undertook to finish the road. He be-
gan with great flourish, aud employ
ed Meiggs rs his superintendent: but
bernard also failed within eighteen
months. The road bed was constr,,cf- :

about sixty miles from Valparafso.
Some ten miles beyond Liaillaf the
difficulties, which no engineer had vet
been able to surmount, commence.
From that point it was thirty.three
miles to Santiago, and in that distance
there was AZ, elevation Of 4,S00 feet

structed by stu2endous masses of rocks
! and hills that tdwered high up toward
| the clouds, anil wide chasms that
reached deep dowl into the earth.
All the engineers thai egured on that
tfirty-three miles, estimatsd that it
would cost s25. .0O000o, and take from
siz to eight years 10 construct it IA it|
could be built at all. Meiggs figured
on 1t, and came 10 the conclusion that

As soon as It became known in Chi
Ii that Meiggs had begun work on a
railroad in Peru, great excitement
arose among his old Gillian laborers.
Hundreds Of then at once started for
Peru, and thousands Of the poor Chill
nos began to prepare to go. Finally
the Government issued q decree inter-
dieting the emigration, which threat
ened to be 50 great as seriously to en-
barrass the labor and defence Of the
country. Meiggs was allowed to take
q number of the most skilful of the
Chilenos with him to act as chiefs of
sections, and they instructed the Peru
Wan peasants in the use of the pick,
shovel, crowbar, and other mysteries
of railroad making.

When disease has undermined the health,
and the physical system has become prosCra-
ted, stmulant that will not only strengthen
but remove the cause, should be Immediate
ly resJrted to. Mentral distress is also a
fruitful source Of the breaking down of the
constitution, and the ravages Of this enemy
to health are truly alarming. For all such
maladies Hostetter's Stomach Bitter's have
been found unsurpassed BY acting directly
upon the digestive organs, they remove the
heavy, disagreeabJe feeling fter eating, so
often complained Of by persons of delicate
temp rament. AS soon as digestion is re-
stored, the patient finds his strength in
crea,ing, and his general health improved.
Thousands Of persons certify that it may
he relied on in all cases of weakness or ner-
vous debility attendant upon sedentary hab-
its. The genes, uliSy of Bitters are 50 disa-
greeablo to the taste that they are objection
able to Il weak stomach. This Is not the
case wi h Hostetter's Bitters, which will be
found mild and extremely pleasant. Balsa-
Esic plants, barks and roots contribute their
restorative juices to render it soothing and
strengthening. It's basis is the only pure
stimulunt " hich has ever been produced,
containing no fesll oil, or any other delete
rious element The most careful and skill
fu chemists have Analysed the Bitters, and
pronounce them harmless. This is scien-
tfc testimony; but the testimony Of the
hundreds of thousands who have expert
onced the preventive and curative effects of
the great Vegetable Tonic and Alternative of
modern times is still more conclusive. In
fever and ague, dyspepsia, biliousness, ner-
vous complaints, chronic complaints and
general debility, it is as nearly infa1lible
anything in this falible world can be "a
