Hanlan and his principal adviser conferred to-day

at is this -Hanlan will accept the oer but it must
be publicly made over the gentlemans signature in

of the opinion that the gentleman is entitled to
benefit himself much as possible by percentage,
will not insist upon the water waters beng named
being satisfied to upon good course preferring
any lake to any river. and objecting only to such
rivers quite unsuitable for a boat race He
will not insist on any course being named in the
offer. though he would prefer that number Of
suitable courses be mentioned. the one which will
best suit tho donors convenience to that selected
for the Once this offer be formally made Han
Ian will signify his willingness to accept. and will
send an accredited represe ntative to confer with
Courtney or his representative and the donor of the
purse. On Hanlan's representative being sat
isfed he will sign the articles Oh behalf
of Hanlan. In the meantime HAnlan has
nothing in the shape of what he call
a responsible offer from the Rochester gen tleman.
ana while satisfied to entertain any communication
that may be sent to him, has q decided preference
that all and every negotiation affecting the proposed
race be made openly and aboveboard through the
press. Hanlan impresses upon those who are seek
ing for the match that he would prefer to tor

condition in which he physically is. believing his
opponent to be really prepared to for all that is
in him, and believing that he can beat Courtney.

OF insisting that this match be made in such man

Geology has shown us that nature accom-
Elishes her greatest revolutions in the eaTth's
surface conformation slowly. Every year the
river makes its channel deeper, the glacier
wears deeper gorge in the Alpine rock, and
the ocean tide deposits the sand it has crum-
hled from he rocks upon which II breaks. We
note the earthquake AID the devastating hur-
ricane; but these changes are so gradual man
seldom observes them until the channu has
become overhanging cliffs, or mountain has
disappeared before the icy stream, or the ocean
has given us a Florida. Thus il is in disease.
Our attention is attracted by acute diseases, rs
levers, cholera, etc, while chronic diseases
(oiten he most dangerous in result), being
slow in their development, are seldom noticed
until they have made an almost inehaceable
impression upon the system. Persons believing
themselves comparatively healthiul are oft
times the victims of these diseases, and only
become aware OF their presence when relief is
almost impossible. Diseases OF the liver and
| stomach are the commonest of these chronic
affections. DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery ana Pleasant Purgative Pellets are
never-failing remedies for these diseases. They
produce a healthful secretion of the bile, pre-
vent indigestion by regulating the bowels, and
