Rheumatism is Disease of the Blood

Rheumatism is a Disease Of the Blood
The blood in this disease is found to contain
an excess of fibrin. NEGETINE acts by
converting tho blood from its diseased condi-
ton to healthy circulation. .Ncgetine

in this complaint. One bottle Of Vcgetne

THE LIVELY STOCK op ERATlons.

The current of recent events has
given great impetus to business in Wall
street, and many successful turns are
reported where immense profits are
made in short periods. The most sue
cessful way that we have heard of yet
for operating in stocks is by the Com
bination Method of Messrs. Lawrence
& Co., Bankers, New York. By this
system thousands of orders in various
sums are pooled into one vast capital
and operated under the most expert
enced and skiiful management, thus
securing to each shareholder superior
advantages and profits, not possible in
any other way. Profits are paid at end
of 30 days. A gentleman in Boston,
made s747, 80 on an investment of 500.
Many others are doing rs well or better.
Capital in any amount from $40 to 81
5000 can be used with equal proper
tionate success by this Combination or
Cooperative Method. S15 would make
SIS, OF 8 per cent. on the stock; 800
would return 5000, oil 0 per cent during
the month, and 10 on, according to the
market. The new circular contains
''two unerring rules for srccess'' and
full information, so that any one can
operate with profit. Stocks and bonds

GEN. PORK may well regard the
scheme to reinstate Fitzjohnporter with
alarm. In case of success, Porter would
be above Pope, becoming a major gem
eral. AS it is, Pope is next in the order
of succession to u major generalship.
By making Porter's reinstatement a
question of politics, the democracy
could give him back his honors and
S115, 900 and not be subject to the same
charges that would operate against
them otherwise. Still, the act would
be perfectly outrageous and an insult to
all military and civil honor. Outs ide
of a few personal military friends, no
army officer entertains n doubt as to
the Justice of Porter's sentence. His
tory will paint him black, however a
democratic congress may endeavor to
whitewash him.

Richard A. Proctor shows that willie
it is theoretically possible to CON
struct a chessplaying automaton, it is
practically impossible because the ma
chine would necessarily be so enormous
and complicated. There would scarce
ly be on the earth for it, and it
could not be operated. The number of
different combinations that can be form
ed on a chess-b board is approximately re-
presented as 100, 900, O0O, OOO, 900, 0OO,-
600, 000, o00, oo0, 900, and if a workman
could make and drill 1900 holes an
hour 1t would, to drill tue requisite
number of holes in a metal plate for one
automatic chess-board, require all the
present inhabitants of the earth 1OO,-
0oO, 900, 0OO, 0OO, 900 years. Therefore,
Mr.. Proctor thinks there will never be
a chess automaton that can play a
game, unless there is 'sLife in Other
Worlds than urs."-fBelgravia.

THAI >LIP CANAL

Inspecting the efforts to raise funds
to build the Darien canal, it is inter-
esting to note a very peculiar fact, and
one which must carry blank astonish-
ment to DeLesseps and his coadju-
TORS. Yesterdays dispatches state
That while the great French engineer is
striving might and main TO start the
stock company, ,the Nicaraguan gov
eminent is proceeding in a business-like
way to complete a canal by the famous
Nicaraguan route to wbic the United
States is most friendly for several rea-
sons, among which is that Nicaragua is
in North America, while DeLesseps'
Darien canal proposes TO go through
South American territory.
A glance at the map demonstrates,
TO a non-professsional, at least, that
the Nicaraguan route is the most FEAST
BILE of all. There is already a natural
water highway across the country by
the San Juan river and Lake Nicara-
qua to a point within ten miles from
the Pacific coast. SO there are but ten
miles of a canal to dig, the rest of the
distance simply requiring dredging.
True, the lake is above sea level but
locks can make a voyage across the
isthmus entirely practicable. The river
San Juan is navigable for a considera-
BILE distance, and the energetic govern
ment is already engaged in the work OF
deepening the channel to the lake.
