New YORK, November 1O.-At a
meeting of the workingmen, yesterday,
James B. Hogskin, who is connected
with the finance departments of the
Erie and Great Western Railroads,
offered resolution that public works
of utility and necessity, on a large
scale, must be undertaken forthwith
by the city, the State, and the United
States Governments, under direction
of the proper authorities, on the credit
of the nation, and Of separate communi-
ties, and for the benefit of the industri-
Gus unemployed laboring citizens of
the commonwealth. Mr.. Hogskin
also commended to the people, in an
other resolution, the fact that large
bodies Of men cannot and will not
starve in the midst of plenty.
The effort was continued to-day to
get jury in the Tweed trial, and a
new panel of a hundred was called.
The counsel for the defense renewed
their grounds Of challenge for the prin-
cipal cause, and renewed their demand
for triers, and objected to Judge Davis
acting as trier, or, if he persisted, that
he De sworn. The grounds of the de
mand and the objections we're all over
ruled. and exceptions were taken and
allowed.
The advance Of the minimum rate
of discount at the Bank of England
to 8 per cent. is certainly an event
of grave Importance. This rate with
in the last thirty years has been but
twice adopted, and in each case it was
the precursor of panic.

Success Based upon Merit.

It is subject Of general remark, among
both wholesale and retail druggists, that no
medicine introduced to the American pNb-
lie has ever gained such popularity, and met
with so large a sale in all parts of the land in
the same length of time, as Dr.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. This cannot depend upon
its being more largely advertised 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 Won
derful and perfect cures of very bad cases of
bronchial, throat and lung diseases, is undoubt-
edly the most perfect and efficient remedy for
all kinds of coughs that has ever been intro
duced to the public, and at the same time pos
sesses the greatest of bloOd-purifying and
strengthening properties that medical science
has been able to produce, thus rendering it a
sovereign remedy not only in the cure of Con-
sumption, Bronchitis, Hoarseness and Coughs,
but also for all diseases of the liver and blood,
as scrofulous diseases, blotches, rough skin,
pimples, black specks and discolorations. 1t
has therefore a wide range of application and
usefulness, and it not only gives the most per-
feet satisfaction to all who use it, but far eX-
ceeds the expectations of the most sanguine,
thus eliciting the loudest praise, and making
permanent NU5ng advertising mediums of all
who use it. For these reasons 1t Is that there
is not perhaps a druggist in all the vast do
main of this Continent, who tries to please his
customers and supply their wants, that does
not keep and sell large quantities OF this most
valuable medicine. 20

THE United States Consul at Dundee,
Scotland, writes to the Department of Ag-
riculture, stating that firm in that city
has shipped 10000 plants Of what is
known as the Scotch fir, or Highland pine,
for distribution in the great prairie States
Of the West The plants are sent in pack
ages, each containing $50. 1t is thought
that these trees will be peculiarly. suited
to the plains, as they are very hardy, and
of free growth. The same firm proposes, if
it is acceptable to the Department, to
make another shipment of 10000 of the
eighteen inches in height, and the Com
missioner of Agriculture proposes to dis
tribute them in the original packages
from New York to parties who desire to
test their utility, and are willing to incur
the expense of their transportation from
New York to their place of destination.

hour, was taken to my home. Here I
commenced vomiting, and frequently

until four O'Clock in the afternoon L was
taken out of the water about 600 feet be-
low the bridge. [ was very thirsty after
vomiting, and tried to drink some water,
but the taste was so disagreeable that

quench my thirst was by putting vinegar
into the water, about an ounce and a half

a rather curious circumstance. L was

was going on journey, and was sur
rounded by all kinds of beautiful things.

sired to be let alone. The sudden transit

the dry land seemed to have bad effect,

pleasant thoughts when dying, that every
body's attention was attracted to her.

Sensations IN Drowning.

who was in an unconscious state, and full
of water when taken out of the river after
the recent bridge accident at Dixon, Hi

"My wife and I went to see the baptism
of the converts, and took up position on
the bridge about thirty feet from the first
pier, and between it and the abutment
We were surrounded by people-men,
women and children. Suddenly, While
Mr. Pratt was entering the water with a
female, [ heard report similar to that

Put Yourself i'm His Place.


Reader put yourself in the place Of dyspeptic
and bilious patient under the oldfashoned regular
treatment Allopathic doses of blue pill, purga-
tives that go through him with the impetuous rush
of an avalanche, opium when he can't sleep and a
little beef tea to keep him alive under the assaults
of the medicine man upon his stomach, his intes-
tines bis liver and his brain, all these he has to
dure. Is it any wonder that he becomes dread
fully weak, emaciated and detected? Reader, if
you have any 'gumption'' you would under any
circumstances, and at all hazards, decline to put
yourself otherwise than suppositiously-in that
mans place. Now put yourself in the place of a
person with the same complaints, who has had the
sense to resort to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
remedy. He takes that agreeable and potent vege-
table tonic and Alternative, will say. three times
a day. As necessary consequence his appetite re-
turns his digestion improves, his bodily strength
increases, his bowels become free and regular, his
sleep is sound and refreshing, his spirits grow
buoyant, the tinge of health returns to his COM
pexion, and in a few weeks the is complete.
This is no fancy picture it is brief abstract of the
experience of thousands of dyspephc, bilious, de-
biltated and despairing patients. Is it necessary
to ask the reader in which of the two places he
would put himself, if afflicted with any disease of
the stomach, the bowels, liver. or the nerves?

The number Of stars visible to the
naked eye in the entire circuit of the
heavens has been usually estimated at
about 5000 An ordinary opera glass will
exhibit something like ten times that num-
Der. A comparatively small telescope
easily shows 100000 while there are tel
escapes in existence with which, there is
reason to believe, no less than $4,000, 900
stars are visible And yet when all these
are seen and numbered the eye will have
visited but mere speck in the illimitable
bounds of space.
The Revista M5lStaSre furnishes the
following information respecting the num-
Der of horses and draught animals in the
various countries in Europe: Russia ap-
pears to have 100000 horses, and to en-
ploy $4,000 for her army. In Germany
there are 100000 draught animals; in
Austria, 100000; in France, 4,25O,0OO; in
England, 1860, 600; in Italy, 100000, or
100000 horses and mules and 100000
donkeys. During the last war Germany
had as many as 100000 horses, and it is cal
culated that France requires 100000. In
France mules are extensively used in the
military train, and the country contains
100000 donkeys.
Few are aware of the vast number of
people that can be placed in small space.
When we speak of millions of men we
are apt to picture to ourselves an almost
boundless mass Of humanity; yet mil
lion of people if standing together, each
person occupying four square feet, could
be placed on a patch but little more
than third of a mile square. A square
mile would accommodate 1866, 600. The
whole population of the United States
would hardly cover two miles and half
square, and the population of the entire
world could be easily accommodated on a
track twelve miles long and twelve wide
less in extent than some townships.
