And the wind had kissed her away from land,
And was kissing her out to sea

With currents countercrossed.

AGUE CURE.
BY Universal Accord.


AYERS CATIIARTIC PILLS are the best
of all purgatives for family use. They
are the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, and
their extensive use, by physicians in
their practice, and by al civilized ma
tons, proves them the best and most
efectual purgative Pill that medical
science can devise. Being purely veg
etable no harm can arise from their
use, and being sugar-coated, they are
pleasant to take. In intrinsic value
and curative powers no other Pills
can be compared with them; and every
person, knowing their virtues, will
employ them, when needed. They
keep the system in perfect order, and
maintain in healthy action the whole
machinery of life. Mild, searching and
efectual, they are especially adapted
to the needs of the digestive apparatus,
arrangements of which they prevent
and cure, if timely taken. They are
the best and safest physic to employ
for children and weakened constitu-
tons, where mild but efTectual
cathartic is required.

THE COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL
POSITION.

FOS1sIONs
The Public notices that the exchanges of
the country last week were not favorable,
although the decrease was less than for some
weeks back. At most OF the medium and
minor cities transactions were smaller than
slurine the p-scp6iu9 weak. and the deere 80
at nearly all the larger cities was greater
than usual. Boston, however, was a re-
markable exception to this. Two causes
principally affect changes at present-strikes
and uncertainty as to crops. The quarterly
statement of the national banks gives their
number at 2223 against 2I02 in May lsst
year; loans were sol 100000 larger thsn
they were year ago, while individual de-
posts were S25 100000 smaller; amount of
United States bonds on hand one third
smaller. The bank stock of silver has been
increased 1856, 900; that OF gold decreased
over S10,576,00O. During the first half of
June the decline in exports, in comparison
with the corresponding weeks last year,
extended to every one of the princi-
pal products; the figures are not encourage
ing. The course OF wholesale prices during
June chow decline in grain uatil a week
ago, when speculation caused sharp ad-
vance. Meats, though lower than in May,
remain very high. Quotations show in eight
classes of articles of principal consumption
an advance of 1S.4 per cent. over the close OF
June, 1881; the average for the month was
u per cent. higher in 1882 than in 1881.
The general opinion now is that winter
wheat will yield one of the largest crops on
record, but there is need for caution until
1hreshiDg has decided whether straw has not
been developed rather than grain, as the
weather has been largely such TO favor
that result A full yield of corn hardly
seems probable. OF spring wheat nothing
definite is yet known, but it is possible the
country may have more grain than 1t can
find a good market for, as European news
docs not indicate larger foreign demand
this year than last.

A Popular Decision.

There was considerable ihdigna tiun manifest in Oshkosh when Sl- mon B. Paige refused to pay the re- ward of $5000 offered by him for the rescue of bis wife, dead or alive, from the burning Beckvith House. The body was saved by Charles Ref, who sued Paige for the reward. The Winnebago county circuit court de cided in favor of Paige, because the rescuer was fireman and Tn duty bound to save Mrs. Page or any body or anything else without re ward. Judge Lyon, of the supreme court, reverses this decision. Il Judge Lyon is not on the side of the statutes, he is certainly on the side Of iustlce and popular sympathy, as Reif took his life in his hand when he rescued the woman in question. = Milwaukee Wisconsin.

Speculation in the South.

Mir. R. O. Baker, of Selma, Ala, who has been North for the summer, recently said: "I have studied the situation pretty thoroughly, and do von know what the great curse of the South is? It is speculation. I am satisfied that the Southern people by speculating in cotton and stocks. send to the North from $25, ,000, ,000 to $50,000,000 every year-perhaps more than the larger figure. In re turn for this they get nothing but ex perience, and the experience don't seem to do them any good. Now suppose this enormous sum had been invested in improvements here in- stead of going North to keep brokers in riotous living! In the ten years it would have stocked every farm in the South with the best implements. the best cattle and the best improve. ments, or It would have built fifty cotton factories of 10000 spindles each in every Southern State. It would have built and equipped five times as many miles of railroad as arc in Georgia and Alabama. Think ofit--a people that has wasted $3OO,- 100000 in ten years by betting with outsiders on a hand that the outsi. ders stocked against us."

The National Barometer.

The eyes of all intelligent Repub- licans are upon New York. The wealth, power and position of that State make it the barometer of the nation. George w. Curtis has mere. ly given expression to the fears and feelings of the more patriotic and intelligent members of the Rcpnbli- can party by protesting against the action of the Saratoga convention, and, like him, we think the defeat of the Republican candidate for the Governorship of New York may be the straightest road to the safety of the Republican party in 1SS4.-Chi- cago Herald.

The gradual disuse of iron rails is shown by the fact that in the last few months this country has entire lv ceased to import them from Great Britain, and that Tn the eight months ending with August there was de crease in their exportation from England of 16t per cent. The steel rail exports, however, in the same length of time increased from 339, 6SS tons to 505,0l7 tons. This ar gues better equipment for railroads, the sequence of which would seem to be fewer accidents. Yet the fact remains that in the year ending September l, 1882, there were more persons killed and more persons In jured by railroad accidents than in the previous year.
