For Sone reason or Other-perhaps MAIN
IL h ,cause Of the hard times in the Atlantic
State s-tbere is an extraordinary emigra-
tioD toward California this spring, and II
is feared that many Of those who have gone
tbitbar will meet with unexpected hard
sbirs as some who started very early in the
season have already returned East, having
failed TO realize the high expectations
which led them to make the journey
The AtcHisOn Kansas) Champion saysIn2'
in March. $500 persons passed heaIhey
Junction bound for San Francisco, OF NhoM
probably 1000 had expended all their mo
nev in paying their passage. 1t IS dllcGI'
TO imagine a worse place for q man WIN
out money than San Francisco, yet d large
proportion Of the people who constitute
this tide of emigration appear TO imagine
that nuggets Of gold are TO he picked up I'D
the streets Of that city, and that the clti-
zeDs are suffering for the want OF Ia
Dor. Notwithstanding that the chi
nese article is both plentiful and
cheaD there. A good many farmers
nave been made the victims Of coiOnlZlng
schemes which look very promising on
uaDer. but turn out TO be based on fraudu-
lent ~pretences. According to the SGcrd-
ygp7f0 Union, the southern counties ol
California have afforded a fine field for
the operations of INSCRIPTIONS adventures
who have purchased bad lands for a song
and bv means Of speciOus representations
sold them to unsuspeCting immigrants iol
five or six times their value. For working OF
such lands. the employment Of the ma
chinerv Of a colonization organization has
often proved successful. The price OF ara
bic land in California is high; 1t brings 81
md so an acre in regions 200 miles iron
san Francisco, even where transportation
facilities are poor and there are no good
local markets at hand. Large l~andholden
with ample capital make money il Caiitor,

Mace for small farmers who have but little
money.

LAND WARRANTS,
FINANCIAL.

There is nothing out of the usual run to
note in financial affairs. The call for
money from the banks is but limited, and
the regular customers Of the various banks
have no difficulty in obtaining loans for
their Legitimate business at the rate of ten
per cent. per annum. Good notes when
offered are taken by brokers at about two
per cent. per month discount.
Exchange on New York is scarce and in
demand. The banks buy at par and sell at
s. per thousand premium.
Gold is much stronger, closing in New
York at 1l5@. For the small lots offered
here dealers pay ia and hold at 1853.
Silver is taken at LOG for halves and quar-
ters.
Tennessee bonds are unchanged, being
quoted in New York at 20 and at 49n
81 for the funded series. There has not
been much done in those bonds in this
market recently, though they are held at
over the New York quotations.
Our local securities are dull and quiet.

ELECTRIC WHISTLES FOR LOCO
MOTIVES.

The plan has been satisfactorily adopted
on some of the French railways Of having
a stationary electric battery blow the whis-
tie Of al approaching locomotive, in case
the road is not clear, without the engineer
having TO give any attention to it-that is,
the obstruction at the depot starts the
steam whistle On every approaching loco
motive, when the train is still far enough
away to slacken speed and stop. This
system, it appears, has now been in sue
cessful operation for a year on one Of
the principal railways in.France, faithfully
informing the engineer whether the way is
clear or not. The signal tender turns a
disk, and sends an electric current in the
direction Of the coming train to a bar that
is placed between the rails; when the en-
CINE reaches the spot a metal brush placed
between the wheels sweeps the bar, the
current passes to the engine, and by means
Of an electromagnetic presses upon a lever,
which opens the steam whistle, thus making
it blow automatically. This arrangement
is found to be very useful at night, and es-
pecially during a fog.

DR.. Schenck's Standard Remedies.
The standard remedies for all diseases of the
lungs are ~SCHESCR's PULNoSIC SYRUP,
~SCHESCK's SEA WEED Tonic, and SCHENCK's
MANDRAKE Pills, and, If taken before the
lungs are destroyed, a speedy cure is effected.
To these three medicines DR.. J. H. Schenck,
of Philadelphia, owes his Unrivalled success in
the treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The PulmOnic Syrup ripens the morbid mat
ter In the lungs; nature throws it on by an easy
expectOratiOn, for when the phlegm OF matter is
ripe, q slight cough will throw il OF, the patient
has rest, and the lungs begin to heal.
TO enable the PulmOnic Syrup TO dc this,
Schenck's Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea
Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the
stomach and liver. SchenCk's Mandrake Pills
act on the liver, removing all distinctions, re-
lax the gall bladder, the bile starts freely, and
the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimu-
liant and Alternative; the alkai OHwhich It is
composed mixes with the food and prevents
s0uring. Il assists the digestion by tOning up the
stOmacht TO a healthy condition, so that the food
and the PulmOnic Syrup will make good blood;
then the lungs heal, and the patient viii surely
get well if care is taken to prevent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DR.. SchenCk, either
personally or by letter, can do 50 at his pTinci-
pal Office, corner of Sixth and Arch streets,
Philadelphia, every Monday.
Schenck's medicines are sold by al druggists
throughout the country.

TOBACCO.


The advance established last week on
good tobaccos has been fully maintained,
while poor, frosted Tugs and nondescript
leaf shows no improvement. Much Of the
offerings this week were badly assorted and
roughly handled, and as a matter of course
such tobacco does not bring as much as it
would if properly handled. 1t requires but
little more labor TO handle tobacco well,
than it does to handle 1t badly, and it pays
a great deal better.
