SUCCESS BASED UPON MERIT,

1t is subject of general remark, among
both wholesale and retail druggists, that
no medicine introduced to the American
public has ever gained such a popularity
and met with such large sales in all parts
of the land, in the same length of time,
as DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
This cannot depend upon its having been
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 wonderful and perfect cures of very
bad cases of bronchial, throat and lung
diseases, is undoubtedly the most perfect
and efficient remedy for all kinds Of coughs
that has ever been introduced to the pub
| lie, and at the same time possesses the
greatest of blood purifying and strength
ening properties that medical science has
| been able to produce, thus rendering it 4
sovereign remedy not only In the cure OF
consumption, bronchitis. hoarseness and
coughs, but also Tor all diseases OF the liv-
| er and the blood, as scr0fulohs diseases
| blotches, rough skin, pimples, black speckS
and discolorati0n. 1t has therefore a wide
range of application and usefulness, and il
not only gives the most perfect satisfaction
to all who use it, but far exceeds the ex-
pectations OF the most sanguine, thus elic
iting the loudest praise, and making perfect
hiring advertising mediums of all who use
it. For these reasons it 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, thai
does not keep and sell large quantities Of
this most valuable medicine.

The New York Legislature has refused 10 eN-
empt mortgages from taxation. he reason as
signed was that such exemption would have re-
leased capitalists from their fair share of public
burdcns-the slliiest plea ever put forth by
BILE men. 1t is not the lender hut the borrower
who pays this tax and Legislators may call it ter
all time revenue derived from capitalists ; hut
that will not make il any nearer the truth. To
make the matter still more UNJUST the legislature
has lifted this tax from insurance companies and
savings banks. Upon this the New Ycrk World
asks, aud very pertincntIy:
Now will some wise member OF the legislature
please explain, II in order that lite insurance
companies and savings banks shall loan on bond
and mortgage it bo necessary to exempt from
taxation mortgages held by them, why It can lie
supposed that other corporations or indni iulls
will loan on bond and MOI gage and pay .xes
thereon? Why, ii the usury laws be UNIV ise to
corporations composed rs they must be OF ind

CREMArIoN Va. .INHUMArIoS.-The question
of cremation, the burning OF the dead, against
inhumation or burying of the dead, has gone
no short distance on its way TO acceptance when
a public meeting in New York is called TO dis

TIE BELCHER AIR SHAFT.
From the virg. Enterprise. !

From the Nirg. Enterprise
The big air shaft of the Belcher Com
pany, the timbers Of which was lately
destroyed by fire, is considered to be lost
beyond redemption. 1t has cayed SO ex-
tensively that it will be impossible to
clear it out and retimber it. Although it
was said to be sunk in west country rock
yet the top of the shaft passed through
vein matter a distance Of several hundred
feet before reaching the west country.
Half the langth OF the shaft between the
surface and the l00O-foot level is badly
cayed. it is also badly caved at the bot
tom near the l000-foot level. 1t will now
be necessary to excavate new shaft,
and this will probably be sunk some dis
lance further west than was the one just
destroyed. 1t would be good plan to
sink the new shaft near the Crown Point
line, in order that both that and the
Belcher mine might be benefited by it.
Previous TO the fire the draft in the
shaft was downward into the mine-it
was what is called a downcast. At the
time the shaft was burning it was pre-
dicted by the experts that after the fire
was out the draft would be found to
have changed and it would then be up
ward. ALTHOUGH the shaft is pretty much
blocked up by the caves which have oc-
CURED in it, the draft what little there is,
is upward. The Yellow Jacket shaft.
previous to the great fire in that mine
some years ago, had strong draft down
ward; the FIRE changed the draft, and il
has ever atterward remained an up
cast" This is a curious freak OF nature
which all old miners have observed
Once the change in the draft takes place
it is permanent. A curious thing in ven
tilation-and it is nut for the scientists
to cracks that everywhere along the
Comstock lode the tendency of all cur
! rents Of air is to the southward-in tn
same direction that the ore chimney
, tend. Here is certainly at work anothe
mysterious force OF nature. This tenden
cy of the air currents to move southwar
|, has never been ,overcome, except in on
:. or two instances.
