Homes in the West.

At no former time in the history of
the country has there been SO deep, so
widespread, and SO intelligent IN inter
est felt in the matter of emigration and
Western settlement as now. The rapid
construction of railroads which pene-
trate the fertile but hitherto unoccupied
areas of our new Northwestern States
and Territories, thus rendering accessi-
BILE and valuable millions of acres of
land which would otherwise nave lain
waste for a score of years, has given a
wonderful impetus to the Westward
tide of population.
A large portion of both foreign and
American migration will henceforth n t.
urally and inevitably flow into thatnew
Northwest, now for the first time made
accessible by the building of the North
ern Pacific railroad. The belt of coun-
Try traversed by the route of this thor
oughfare WISCONSIN, Minnesota, Dako-
ia, Montana, Idaho, Washington and
Oregon) has such characteristics of soil
and climate as to render its speedy set
Element and prosperous cultivation
certain.
The Northern Pacific Company is
now selling it's lands in Minnesota, and
| the facilities and helps which it furnish
es to settlers and colonies greatly re
duce where they do not wholly remove
the "~hardships" of pioneer life. For
example, transportation at reduced rates
is furnished. from nearly all parts of
the country to the line of the N. P.
road, and if a settler buys forty acres
or more of railroad land, he and his
whole family are carried free over the
n. P. road when going to settle. Then
at three different points on the road
large and elegant reception houses have
been built and fitted up with conve-
niences for single persons, families aud
colonies. Settlers, no matter whether
they locate on free Government home
steads or purchase railroad lands, enter
these reception houses on leaving the
cars and use them free of charge, as a
temporary home while engaged in Sc
lecting land and building dwellings of
their own.
The company has fixed low prices on
its lands, gives sever years credit to
purchasers, and receives in. payment at
I ten per cent. premiums its own first
| mortgage bonds, which are now selling
at par, and which are a favorite invest
ment throughout the country.
There are now few localities in the
West where good Government lands for
free homestead entry can be found near
to railroads and markets. The North
ern Pacific road has been so recently
built through Minnesota, that there are
close to its line plenty of public lands
of the finest quality awaiting homestead
settlement; and they are being rapidly
taken. Large numbers of soldiers who,
under the new laws of Congress, obtain
free homesteads of 100 acres, e rail
roads, by one and two years residence,
are locating on the line of the Northern
Pacific. Soldiers and all others who
think of seeking homes in the West
can Obtain full Information, maps, copy
of homestead law, etc., by addressing

THESKEPTICAL CoNvINCED.-Every adj
vance in Medicine, every new remedy
has encountered an opposition, which
is the test of truth. Galen and Jenner
only were believed when they had
proved their discoveries against oppo-
sition. But men are observing, and
benefits always make believers. No in
credulity can stand the silent argument
of good results. When DIR. Walker pro-
claimed that he had produced from the
medicinal herbs of California an Elixir
that would regenerate the sinking sys-
TEN and cure diseases not organic, the
incredulous shook their heads. Yet his
VINEGAR BITTERs is now the Standard
Restorative of the Western World. The
truth could not be resisted. Under the opera
ton of the new remedy, Dyspeptics regained
their health, appetite and strength the Bill
ious and Constipated were relieved of every
distressing symptom the Cousumptive and
Rheumatic rapidly recovered Intermittent
and Remittent Fevers were broken up the
faint of Scrofula was eradicatedi Who could
gainsay facts like these? Not even the
Faculty. Skepticism was routed. All doubts
as to the first rank of modern medicines
were silenced, and this wonderful preparation
is to-day the most popular Tonic, Alternative,
and Blood Depurent ever advertised in Ameri-
ca, In common with other journalists, we
are free to add our testimony to this remedy.

Anecdote of Daniel Webster.

Daniel Webster once dined with an
old Boston merchant, and when they
came to the wine a dusty old bottle was
carefully decanted by Peter, and passed
to the host. Taking the bottle he pour
ed out Mr.. Webster's glass and handed
it to him. Then pouring out another
for himself, he he'd it to the light and
said: elbow do you like it, Mr.. Web
ster ?" 81 think it a very fine speei-
men of old PORT" "Now, you can't guess
what that cost me-" said the host.
"Surely not" said Mr.. Webster. 81 only
know that it is excellent" "Well, now,
L can tell you, for I made a careful esti-
mate the other day. WhenI add the
interest to the first price, 1 find that 1T
costs me the sum of just one dollar and
twenty cents a glass;" "Good gracious!
you don't say SO ?" said Mr.. Webster,
and then draining his glass he hastily
presented it again with the remark /:
Fill up again as quick as you cam, for
1 want to stop that COMPOUNDED in
~terest."

Natural Decay-Protect the system.

The human body is a machine. and therefore can
not endure forever; but, like a watch or a sewing
machine, it will last much longer if properly regu-
lated and duly repaired. than if no pains were taken
to keep it in order. The great object of every one
who desires a long and healthy life should be to put
his body in a condition to resist the life threatening
influences by which we are all more or less surround
ed; and no invigorant and corrective at present
known SO effectively answers this purpose as the
vitalizing elixir which, under the unpretending
name of Hestetter's Stomach Bitters, has been for
more than twenty years the standard tonic of Amer
lea. In crowded cities. where the atmosphere is con-
taminated with the efluvia inseparable from large
populations; in marshy regions, where the soggy
soil reeks with miasma; on the prairies and in the
forests, where every fall the air is tainted with ex-
halations from rotting weeds and grasses, or decom-
posing leaves-in short, in every locality where ma
laria exists, this powerful vegetable antidote is
urgently needed. Fever and ague, bilious fevers,
dysentery, congestion of the liver, j%aundice, rheuma-
tism, and all diseases which are generated by infect
ture, may be averted by Strengthening and regulating
the system in advance with Hostetter's Bitters.
Autumn is always a season of peril, especially to
weak. susceptible organizations. Even the more Wig
orous are apt to bs in SOM measure depressed by
the humid atmosphere. loaded with deieterious gases
produced by vegetable decay. The fall is a period of
the year when the renovation and regulation of the
living machine is peculiarly important. and the
Bitters should therefore be taken daily at this critical

Immigration Of Swedes to the United
States.

01AC
A correspondent of the Financier says
that one of the first objects of interest
to the commercial visitor in Sweden is
the outflow of emigration to the United
States. The writer says that he saw at
Gothenburg some five hundred persons
of both sexes embark for England,
en- route for America by the fnman and
National lines. The emigration from
Sweden and Norway is large, and con-
stantly increasing, but by reason of its
route through England some of it is
unduly credited to the latter country.
AS for the character of the e~inigrants,
it is all that could be desired. They
are Of the best class of peasants-pious,
clean, and hardy. There are few or no
bad characters among them. They
emigrate simply because their lown
country is cold and comparatively
sterile-so rocky that large farms are
impossible, and so undiversifed in its
industrial character that agriculture is
substantially the only resourc of the
poor, and agriculture, too, at great dis.
advantage of climate, tools, and mar
kets.

not materially hurt the order. 1t will
deprive them of some valuable property
for a time, but that will be more than
counterbalanced by the forced expansion
