The subject of American control of whatever
scheme is adopted for connecting the COM
nerce of the Atlantic and Pacific, is growing
more and more engrossing. The energy dis
played by the French party under De Lesseps,
serves TO give our people concern against
hem, and there is a general fear lest the Eu-
+opean powers should try to seize too much
pf a foothold on this continent. 1t is well
or our government to be prepared TO foil the

lie Istbmus is cut by a canal, or, what is more

If the people who suffer indescrib-
able misery from the annual recurrence of that
abominable ailment hay fever will use the fol-
lowing simple remedy, they will experience
immediate relief and perhaps permanent cure:
To two ounces of water add two grains of sui
phate of quinine -euinine powder-shake it
well together and apply the mixture to the parts
affected by pouring small quantity into the
palm of the hand and snuffing it up the nose.
Repeat this application three or four times
day, see that the liquid is well snuffed up, and
the word of former sufferer for it, and if taken
in its incipiency the disease will be cured. By
having recourse to this remedy when the first
symptoms of the annual visitation are expert
enced, the attack can be checked and the disease
broken up. It is a simple remedy. Try it, ye
sufferers and be relieved.

The preparations for moving the

crops of the season have begun earlier and at a
somewhat brisker pace than they did last year.
These preparations consist in importations of
gold from Europe and in the sending of money
from New York to the West to be employed in
the purchase of grain. Our two leading ex-
port crops, wheat and cotton, are heavier than
they have ever been before. and although the
foreign demand for breaistuifs will not be so
large as it was in 1879 it will still he sufficient
TO make an active market. Owing 10 injuries
by late rains ia several counties the English
wheat crop does not fulfill the expectation of the
early summer months, and even in the best
years England imports large port of its sup
plies of food. Stocks Of grain have run low
during the year of scarcity, and the necessity
of replenishing them causes business to set in
somewhat earlier than usual. The wheat har
vest is moderate in France, and in many dis
tricts of Germany there has heeh a heavy de-
struction of crops by foods. Russia will fur
nish less than her usual quota for exploration,
and the United States will have to make up
the greater part of the deficiency.

tree in Florida is matter of great interest. In
