Caution to the Public.

Every intelligent and thinking person must know
that remedies handed out for general use should have
their efficacy established by wetested experience in
the hands of regularly educated physician, whose
preparatory studies fit him for all tile duties he must
fulfil; yet the country is flooded with poor nostrums
and cureas, purporting to be the best in the world
which are not only useless, but always injurious.

ANSWERING LETTERs.-A great many peo-
pie in this country are shamefully negligent
about answering letters. Nothing is more
annoying. In European countries it is re-
garded as the height of ill breeding to allow a
letter which needs reply to go unanswered,
and so it ought to be considered here. This
is point on which parents should lay great
stress to their children. They should be
taught to consider it as rude not to reply to
letter which needs attention as to hand fork
with prong end. The busiest people are gen
orally those who are most exact in This re-
spect. The late Duke of Wellington who il
will be admitted, had good deal on his hands
at different times of his life, replied to everv
letter, no matter from how humble source
A clergyman who lived in a distant part ofthe
kingdom wrote to his grace, on whom neither
he nor his parish had shadow of claim, to
beg for subscription ito rebuild a church.
By return of mail came back letter from the
duke to the effect that he really could not see
why in the world he should have been app1ied
to for such an object; but the parson sold the
letter as an autograph for SIS, and nut the
duke down for that amount among the sub
scribers, -

vii it be over to-day or tomorrow?
Will 1t last for a week, or month, or yea,
This trance that is neither joy nor sorrow,
This waiting that is not hope nor a fear!
While am waiting the end draws near,
1t will come before am dead some das'
Shall feel it, / wonder, when it Is here' 4i5t..
Its coming seems like going away
Is it only that watching has made me weary,
And that being weary has made me dream?
But in dreams the world is not so dreary, u.
And in dreams things are not as they seem. =
And indeed am not tired yet; .afr.r.

What the hours know will not forget,
The end of the watch that is set for me.
Is it the end that has made me strong,
Lest say when it comes it is come too late?
Then till it came should find it long; -a
have forgotten for what wait.
Then why are my thoughts bound up to this
By bond that l neither feel or see,
While the world goes by in bane or bliss?
Do think the world keeps watch with me?
Yet the end will come and the end will go
And leave no trace in the empty air;
When it is over, none will know,
And hardly think that shall care

Average per Acre.

The CHARACTER of the Land Grant of the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company, as whole, is
readily acknowledged by all persons acquainted with
the different Grants, to be SUPERIOR TO
THAT OF ANY OTHER Road; but even
if the average price per of its land sales should
not be above the lowest average of all the land grants
which is but s27O on the Kansas Pacific Road, still
at this low figure for the $4,000 acres held to redeem
each $4,000 of bonds, there would be surplus of
over the of bonds that can be issued
on each mile of the Northern Pacific Railroad.
During the present month the Northern Pacific
Railroad will be opened for passengers and freight to
the Red River of the North, the eastern boundary
of Dakota Territory-this with the completed road
on the Pacific slope, and the St. Paul and Pacific
branches of 2Ss miles, will make nearly 600 miles of
road in operation at the close of this year.
As the U. Government is now calling in the Five
Twenties, holders of these can convert them into
Northern Pacific Bonds, and thereby INCREASE
THEIR INCOME MORE THAN n 1.s
PER CENT. At the present time a good propor-
ton of the sales of n p Bonds are by the conversion
of Five-Twentes, and we notice that the Boston
journal i'm its monetary article of New. Ii, saws:

YNHE above is an engraving of Steam Boiler con-
Il tanning 1900 feet of heating surface, built upon
new principle namely that of stopping the vertical
circulation, accomplished by means of two horizon
tat dsdphrdgms running through the boiler, and
forming three water compartments. BY this ar
rangement there is maintained three temperatures of
water.
The smoke and heated gases pass first through the
tubes in the upper compartment, then descend, and
return through the tubes in the second compartment
thence again descending they pass through the tubes
in the third compartment. By this operation, the
smoke, and heated gases from the furnace on their
tact with gradually decreasing temperatures of
water.
While doing average work, coupled with good
engine, it will supply steam for $50 indicated horse
power. ...-
We will guarantee that this boiler will shew 80
per cent. more power with the same weight of coal
than any boiler of the heating surface in the
market, and will continue to do So as long as it is
used, and we will back our guarantees with Gov
ERNMENT BONDS.
The durability of this boiler is greater than any
other for the reason is that cold water is allowed
to come in contact with the intensely heated surfaces
the feed water being gradually heated as it ascends
from the lower to the upper compartment
We would especially call the attention of Railroad
men to the following facts that while running this
boierwith coal or wood the sparks are neutraIized
and none have ever left the smOke-stack or chimney
which in itself is most valuable advantage never
before realized.
Combining ourselves to practice and not theoru we
invite all parties in want of Steam Boilers to give us
