The blood at times becomes loaded
with impurities and moves thick and
sluggishly in the veins. This condi-

is none better than Ayers Sarsapa-

A Beneficient Action.

The worn look and miserable feel
ings Of those closely confined in mills,
or at desks or work tables, are caused
by weak Stomach, Kidneys or Bowels,
and show the necessity for some mild
tonic to build them up. No one need
suffer thus who will use Parker's Gin
ger Tonic; for without intoxicating
It has such benefcient action on
these sluggish organs and so cleanses
the poisonous matters from the sys-
tenn, that rosy cheeks and good health
and spirits are soon brought back
again.-Erpress. See adv. jun

JOHN II. LONG.
''In twenty years they all came back
In twenty years or more
And found the incest goods in town
At the Rip Van Winkle store.
For although "John" has been away
For years almost a score,
HE has not been asleep" they say
When looking through his store.
His CLOTHING and his BOOTS and
SHOES,
His HARDWARE and QUEENS
WARE,
His DRY GOODS, and his GROCE-
RIES,
Are all sold on-the-sQUARE.
His CHRISTMAS TOYS for girls
and boys
Are pretty as can be:
His RAISINS, FIGS, and CANDIES
too
Are nice as you will see.
His twenty years upon the farm
Have left impressions true,
He now knows Just how farmers feel;
And with this thought in view,
He pays the highest market price
For farm PRODUCE; although
He sells no cheaper goods for cash
Than for Produce, you know.
Then friends of twenty years or more;
And dear friends of to-day
Come see the Rip Van Winkle store;
And do not go away
Till you have. asked for what you want.
You may not see it near,
But ask the clerks: there's many rooms
And many boxes here.
And if you do not wish to buy
Come in before you go:
There are two stoves to keep you
warm.
And John can Talk you know.
When you seek this store Of j. L.
Longs
You may find it without fail
In the old Sternberger Block
Just opposite the ssJA1L.''

Working on the Panama Canal.

A private letter from Colon, dated the 8th
of March, just received at Liverpool, makes
the following reserence to NJ. De LesseD's
canal across the isshmus Of Panama s"There
are in the field to-day IS civil engineers,
clerks etc. They are engaged in making 3
complementary survey-that is il verifying
last years survey and in endeavoring to
make it better. They have 400 laborers and
wilt take 300 more. They have divided the
distance into four-mile surveying camps, and
apparently are thoroughly organized. Their
great obstacle is the Chagres river. They
propose to do away with this entirely BY
building a dam at a point where, at between
Mount Gamboa and another they strike the
line of the canal. This dam will be a most
stupendous affair, perhaps the largest ever
built, If indeed they succeed in building it.
They have already sunk d shaft 100 feet deep
at the point where they propose to build the
dam and nave not found bed rock, which
they must do before the dam is common led.
This fact is giving them great anxiety. The
1900 yards height, so yards thickness at
bottom, 1,040 yards; thickness at top, $50.
yards, By building this dam they will (or
they propose to- create q lake capable Of
holding 1000, 600, 900 tons Of water, which
will have an overflow to the Pacific.
s'Their present estimate is this: Canal to
be completed within six years, working s, 5000
men. The canal can be made at this point
Colon to Panama-and will be if it is built
anywhere in this region, for the Nicaraguan
route is not practicable. But whoever builds
it must have money. This M. De Lesseps
has not. He has only promises and diplo-
macy.

The Sulphur Slaves or Sicily.

The sulphur is extracted and brought 70
the surface by human beings, and, indeed.
chiefly by children. Mrs. B%rowning's 'sCrY
OF the Children might have been written in
the sulphur mines Of Sicily. Hundreds and
hundreds Of children, VINO have scarcely the
forms Of human beings, are sent down the
steep, slippery stairs into the muddy, Watery
depths. Here they are laden with as much
material as they can sustain, and they must
reascend with it on their backs: stumbling
at every step, often falling back into the bot
tom of the pit with broken limbs, or even
dead. The elder ones, writes an eyewitness,
arrive at the pits mouth shrieking, the little
ones sobbing and crying. The mortality ex-
ceeds that of any other province Of Italy the
statistics Of the leva show an incredible num-
Der of lame and deformed, and Of young
men Of one-and-twenty totally unfit for
military service.
At the Congress of Milan, Duke de Cesaro
di Collona, one of the Wealthiest proprietors
of the island, and Deputy Luzzatti, have
raised their voices in protest against this bar
barous, inhuman system. In other provinces
laws have been passed to limit the number of
working hours, to prevent women and chill
dren from entering on occupations that en-
danger their lives and health, but in Sicily
everything is in an abnormal condition, and
people answer that remedy is impossible.
The contractors protest that to deprive them
OF the cheap work of children would be a Vi
olation Of their contract. The mothers them
selves exclaim that to prevent the children
from working in the mines is equal to 3 sen
tence Of starvation, and even members OF
Parliament pirate of the CELEBRITIES Of the in
dividual," and Of the fright Of free trade"
and meantime the children toll and suffer,
are manned and murdered in the name of
right and liberty. Philanthropic Europe
shuddered at the scenes in 'tUncle Toms
CABIN now that slavery is abolished, let
the abolitionists 60 to Sicily where they will
find fresh food for their philanthropy. For
in the Southern States the little slaves were
property. There was q profit to be gained by
feeding. clothing and rearing them for the
home plantations or for the market. But in
Sicily no one is responsible for the children.
When one drops or dies, ten are ready to
take his place, and the burden that falls from
the lifeless skeleton of the one is strapped to
the shoulders OF another without pause or
murmur.

a Noble NiRlIIsI.

Sophy Perovsky, who was hanged in St.
Petersburg on Friday last for completely in
the assassination of the late Gar. was a
young lady not only Of exceedingly good
education, but also Of very good family. She
was a descendant of the famous Marshal
PeroVsky, and had a near relative now aid

was good-looking and lady-like in appear
ance. When stopped in the street by the
police officer who arrested her, she did not
for one moment lose her presence of mind.
She addressed the officer with much dignity,
and at the same time begged him not to in
volve a lady in any disgraceful scandal in the
street, but to escort her quietly to the nearest
police station. In st. Petersburg the story

opened negotiations with her captor, who
demanded fifty roubles for her release. The
young lady had, unfortunately, but thirty in
her pocket, and the myrmidon OF the law
would not trust her for the balance.
