Purifying the Blood, are the most congenial
purgative yet perfected. Their effects abund-

Pills. They are safe and pleasant to take, but
powerful to cure. They purge out the foul
humors of the blood they stimulate the slug

they impart health and tone to the whole
being They cure not only the every day
complaints of every body, but formidable and
dangerous diseases. Most skilful physicians

are the safest and best physic for children, be-

The Nicaragua Canal Project.

Lieutenant Lucien N. B. WISE
has made his report on the Darien
Survey. The gorge or pass OF the
Thule is found to be 450 feet above
the lowest tides, so that there is no
hope Of opening a canal without
locks or tunnels through a gap be-
tween the COrdilleras. A tunneled
canal is also out of the question,
and a canal about sixty-five miles
in length is proposed, starting at
Real de Santa Maria, on the Tuyra.
going on above Pinogana and the
Uupe river and ascending the high
plains and e~ontreforts in the Upper
Tuyra, crossing it between the
mouths Of the Pucro and Paoa trib-
utaries, and then leading across the
Paya through the Cue and Puque
valleys, continuing down the Tule-
qua on the Atlantic slope to the
Atrato, avoiding the windings of
the Cacarica. The summit of this
route is about 100 feet high. This
route is declared to be better than
any surveyed by Commodore Sell
fridge and superior in many re-
spects to the Nicaragua line. Lieut..
Wyse also suggests a canal without
locks but with a tunnel, the cost OF
which would not exceed $4,O00,OOO
per mile. This canal should start
from the Chucunaque river, a little
way above Yayiza, and then follow
in a straight line along the course
of the Tupisa river and on across
the Gerailleras TO the Atlantic at 0
bend of the coast below Point
Gandi.

Over in Mississippi, near the
classic waters of Willow Lake, lives
a well-to-do, industrious planter.
He has a splendid apple, pear and
peach orchard, and raises the larg-
est, finest and sweetest watermelons
and canteloupes. A certain COL
ored citizen was in the habit Of in
vading the sacred domain of this
patch aud helping himself, unasked,
to melons. Now, in the eye of the
law this was thieyery, but in the
gentleman's opinion it was not only
thievery, but q develish bad way Of

In fact, he is so thin that it would

The martial spirit and high mil
itary qualities of our people, devel-
oped by the war and cherished yet
by old soldiers, will no doubt be
transmitted to posterity for genera
tions until needed for some future
war. That We are by nature and
education somewhat a military peo-
pie, even in times of piping peace,
was very happily illustrated at San
Antonio, Texas. last week. A Col.
McLeary visited Austin, and on.
his return it was soon reported hat
he had received from Governor
Hubbard a commission to raise a
regiment of cavalry for service on
the border, in view Of possible hos
between this country and
Mexico. The hint of such a thing
was sufficient to cause hundreds of
citizens to flock to his Office and
seek-nOt to enlist, but to obtain
commissions in his command. He
told a reporter the other day that
of applications had been
made for the position Of quarter
master alone, but that not a man
had offered to enlist as a private.
This shows the latent patriotism
which pervades the hearts Of the
people. 1t would be an easy mat
ter to raise a regiment Of colonies
or quartermasters on short notice in
any part of the country. The
country is safe. I
