PROPOSED SALE OF MANHATTAN MARKET.
rr Is rO RE Used AS A FREIGHT DEPOT.

Tr IS TO BE USED AS A FREIGHT DEPOT.
II has long been predicted by old marketmen
that the new Manhattan Market, which was lately
started under favorable circumstances would prove
failure The location has been deemed unfortunate.
Situated ON the block bounded by Thirty-fourth and
Thirtyffth-sts and Tenth and Eeventh-aves no easy
mode of access Is furnished for farmers with produce
either from Long Island or NewJersey; and the
stand-owners who enthusiastically entered In
TO the scheme for private market nave
found that their trade is merely local, and
that farmers having good produce TO sell do not
feel disposed go out OF their way TO supply Manhat
tan Market, when they dispose of their goods to
marketmen near at hand and at a fair price.
This market lies on the line of the Hudson River Rail-
road Just north of the old passenger depot and con-
sdered desirable propertyfor the Of the NewYork
Central Hudson River Railroad Companies; and it's
stated good authority that Mr.. Vanderbilt has offered
the directors OF the market amount which, In view
Of the probable failure Of the enterprise, they
are disposed TO accept Mr.. Vanderbilt proposes
in case the terms Of sale agreed upon to use the
market freight depot for goods discharged ana re-
ceved on of uptown merchants, and has no III

Success Based Upon Merit.

1t is subject of general remark, samong
both wholesale and retail druggists, that no
medicine introduced to the American public
has ever gained such popularity and met
with SO large sale in all parts of the land, in
the same length of time, as has Dr. Pierce s
Golden Medical Discovery. This cannot de-
pend upon its having been more largely advcr-
tised than any other medicine, as such is not
the case. The correct explanation, we think,
is found in the fact that this medicine produces
the most wonderful and perfect cures of very
bad cases of bronchial, throat and lung dis
eases, is undoubtedly the most perfect and
efficient remedy for all kinds of Coughs that
has ever been introduced to the public, and at
the same time possesses the greatest of blood
purifying and Strengthening properties that
medical science has been able to produce, thus
rendering it sovereign remedy not only in
the cure of Consumption, Bronchitis, Hoarse-
ness and Coughs, but also for all diseases of
the liver and blood, as scrofulous diseases, skin
diseases, blotches, rough skin, pimples, black
specks and discoloratons. 1t has therefore
wide range of application and usefulness, and
it not only gives the most perfect satisfaction
to all who use it, but far exceeds the expccta-
tions of the most sanguine, thus elicitng the
loudest praise and making permanent living
advertising mediums of all who use it. For
these reasons it is that there is not perhaps a
druggist in all the vast domain of this CONT
nent, who tries to please his customers and
supply their wants, that does not keep and sell
large quantities of this most valuable medi-
cine. $50

The Northern Pacific Trade.

Among the great prizes of the worlds
commerce in future will be the control
of the Northern Pacific trade and that
OF its dependencies on both continents.
BY glance at map of Mercators pro-
lection, it will be seen that the conti-
nents of Asia and America converge
toward the north, till at Behring's
Straits they are only forty miles asun-
der; and, as the bulk of the population
of both continents is projected far to the
north, it is obvious to the most casual
observer that, in the not remote future,
the commerce of the Northern Pacific
Ocean is to attain great extent and i'm
portance. The impulse that has been
given to the public mind in this direc-
tion is chiefly due to the construction of
the Union Pacific road, happily for the
whole country already completed; and
to the Northern Pacific road, now in
rapid process of construction, under
auspices that will insure like auspicious
results. Few, however, comprehend the
results that are to flow from the COM
pletion of the Northern Pacific road.
By this route the two continents are
brought about sixteen hundred miles
nearer to each other than at any
southern point, and, considering the rel
ative centres of population in each, it is
probable that the northerly route is, in
the end, to be the controlling one.

MEDICAL GUEsswoRK.-The profess
sional treatment of disease is in great
measure experimental. If one medicine
fails another is tried, and sometimes this
hit-or-miss practice is pursued until the
resources of the faculty is exhausted.
This, in the truest sense of the word, is
enpiricism. But when the physician has
made valuable disco, cry, he is called
by his profession brothcrn an Empiric
because he advertises the result his
labor and research. When DR.. Walker
of California introduced his celebrated
VINEGAR BITTERs rs remedy for all
blood diseases, he struck tremendous
blow at the empirical system, us applied
in our hospitals, and in private practice.
1t was soon apparent that his medicine
was not mere palliative or alternative
that only modified the symptoms of u
disorder but that it reached the very
source of the malady in the blood and the
secretions, and literally rooted It ont. The
process of renovation and disinfection
went on together, vigor was impaired to
the organs from which the virus of dis
ease had been expelled. That such is
the effect of this popular vegetable
remedy, no one who has had opportuni-
ties of observing its operation in cases
of liver complaint, indigestion, affections
of the bowels, gout, rheumatism, and
pulmonary disorders, can possibly doubt.
