How Men Rise in this Country.

At Galesburg, Illinois, Col.
Clark E. Carr improved the re-
currence of independence Day"
by showing his hearers the alb
surdity of the theOry-promul-
gated by lazy tramps and crazy
communists-that the poor man
has no chance in this country;
that he is the "slave" of the CAPT
talist; that the capitalist class
is fixed and impossible of en-
trance by the poor man. His
illustrations we're so copious
that we can only select a part of
them, which we commend to
young men especially, for their
encouragement: Said he:
The man who owns the most
stores in the city worked out
when an apprentice for twenty
five dollars a year, and clothed
himself out oft. The most sue
cessful dry goods merchant, one
of our wealthiest men, came to
this town poor boy, and l know
when he was a clerk in store
on Main street at a small salary.
The largest stockhOlder in the
First National bank, man of
large means, got his start by
working on a farm for nine dol
lars a month. One Of the lead
ing bank directors worked as a
! hand, when a young man, on a
North river sloop. A citizen
worth a hundred thousand dol
lars, who started with nothing,
| learned to write his name after
/ he was fifty years old. One OF
the weaIthiest men who walks
these streets, worked as an ap-
prentice in a drug store in Phila-
delphia for his board and clothes;
came to Peoria with nothing but
his good name, and hired out as
clerk. He soon went into com
panv with a man who furnished
capital and in a few years paid
his partner forty thousand dol
lars for his interest in the estab-
Iishment. One of our Wealthiest
citizens, president of a leading
bank in Iowa, started life on
Cape Cod without a dollar, and
has earned his own living since
he was eleven years old. Nearly
every director of the three banks,
the First and Second Nationals,
and the Farmers, and Mechanics
started penniless. There is
scarcely an exception. The pres
| ident Of one of the banks told me
that he did not believe that the
entire board of directors had in
| herited 81, 500. The honorable
Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of Illinois, a resident of
this city, commenced the practice
of his profession in Knoxville,
with only ten dollars in the
world. What is true Of the sue
cessfuI men of Galesburg is
equally true of a large portion Of
the same class here. 1t is as fool
ish as it is discreditable for any
young man, with fair ability,
good health and virtuous habits,
to take it for granted that his po-
sition is determined for life by
the present circumstances.

The reputation it has attained, in consequence of
the marvellous cures it has produced during the
last half century, is sufficient assurance to the
public that it will continue to realize the happiest
results that can be desired. In almost every
section of country there are persons, publicly
known, who have been restored from alarming and
even desperate diseases of the lungs, by its use.
All who have tried acknowledge its superiority;
and where its virtues are known, no one hesitates
as to what medicine to employ to relieve the dis
tress and suffering peculiar to pulmonary afec.

slant relief, and performs rapid cures of the
milder varieties ofbronchial disorder, as well as
the more formidable diseases of the lungs.
AS safeguard to children, amid the distress.
ing diseases which beset the Throat and Chest of
Childhood, it is invaluable; for by its timely use,
multitudes are rescued and restored to health.
This medicine gains friends at every trial, as
the cures it is constantly producing are too re-

without it, and those who have once used it
never will.
Eminent Physicians throughout the country
prescribe it, and Clergymen often recommend it
from their knowledge of its effects.

A SHIP CANAL IN FLORIDA PRO.
JECTED.

A correspondent of the Savannah
News, writing from Palatka, Fla, says
"The people of Florida are getting wax
ed up in regard to ship canal to be
built across the peninsula from Matanzas
Inlet, on the Atlantic, to Fort Wool or
Clay Landing, on the Suwanee River.
This is the most practicable route across
the State for several reasons. The first
and most important reason is, it would
have an exc. .llent harbor at each end of
the canal, and no Instructions at either
end. There would not have to be more
than IS miles of canal cut on this route,
than it would eclaim at least 100 l,000
of acres of the best lands in the State
This land, when reclaimed, would be
worth the price of cutting the canal, and
the whole route would be well supplied
with natural feeders.
"The distance from New York to New
Orleans by this route would be much less
than any other route farther South. The
distance by this route from New York
to New Orleans would be from 1000 to
! 200 miles less than the route now sailed
which would make difference of from
1000 to 1900 miles saved on the round
trip, and would save yearly $4,000, 900 in
the way of shipwrecks, and S3,000,00C
annually in the way of extra insurance
over S40,000,000 in freight, and several
millions every year in the way Of grain
and meat which 60 to waste in the Mis-
sissippi Valley for the want of a cheap
transportation to the seaboard. The
canal, when built, would bring in a
revenue of at least 100000 or $4,000,
600 annually in the of tolls, especially
when the Darien Canal is completed, as il
would throw vast amount OF shipping
from Ca ifornia, Japan and China
through the Gulf of Mexico, and through
the Florida Ship Canal, to New York and
Liverpool and other points"

BROTHER oRvIL IN A BAD WAY,


Boston special TO New YORK Sun.
Oryil L. Grant arrived in this city two
weeks ago. He had no other baggage
than his clothes, and he went to Young's
hotel, where a friend living in the city
guaranteed his expenses. For the last
ten days his untdy raiment has become
very familiar to the leather merchants OF
Pearl street. Orvil has been among them
endeavoring to buy up all the calf skins
in the market on sixty days time. His
orders were of such magnitude as to eX-
cite suspicion in the minds of the shrewd
traders that something was the matter
with the ex Presidents brother. Failing
to capture the merchants Orvil turned
his attention to the tannery proprietors
who do business in the suburban towns
He proposes to get up "corner" in cali
skins, which, he says, "always 60 up in
September and October" He says that
he il going soon to San Francisco to set
tie down; that his family are at Eliza
beth, N. j., and are going to California
with HIM. He says that he has bought
fifty pianos of John z. Hale, of New
York, to take out to San Francisco on "a
speculation. He is also interested in "a
new process of cleaning wheat, and says
he will make $40 day clear profit with
it in California. The truth is that Orvil
Grant needs caring for by his friends.
He has been very temperate while here !;
indeed he has no money upon which to
dissipate His mania is speculation and
his special hobby is calfskins.

THE best swill we have ever tried for
pigs was made with wheat bran and mid.
dlings, To which we added salt and soft
soap. We were led to making the mix.
ture by noticing that the pigs fed from
the house slops were growing faster and
doing better than those fed at the barn
One little rat of fellaw, that was drawn
in the shape of a half moon, was turned
out of the pen to die, when he was taken
in and fed on house slops; in week his
back was straight; in two weeks he be-
gan to look like a pig, and from that time
on he grew rapidly, aud when killed he
dressed over three hundred pounds We
were feeding two hundred pigs that sea
son, and they Were not doing well. Our
feed was part swill and part corn meal,
and was too strong for young stock. We
altered it to swill made as above, and the
change was seen in a week in the entire
lot, and we had no further trouble with
our pigs.
