A Minister Expresses u,m.eIfForc,b,y.

II will be seen by the following letter from
Rev. CHARLES PIKE of Waterbury, Conn.,.
that men oftentimes representing the highest
callings are brought by disease and sick
ness to level with all classes. Medical and
professional men generally dislike to
countenance proprietary medicines except
IN extreme clses. However, Il o casWpf Mr..
Pike is an exception t. the general rule.
lie believes it duty o suffering humanity
TO publish TO the world the merits of good
article as well as to instruct a few spiritually:
regard it duty as well rs a privilege to
give my testimony in support of so valuable
an article as Hunts Remedy. | have used it
with great satisfaction, and consider it the
very best medicine in use. l am fifty-seven
(57) years of age, and though native of
Boston have spent many years in the South
and n number in Connecticut. From the
nature of my calling am constantly chang
ing about. Two years ago contracted a
weakness of the kidneys, which was appar-
emily made worse by drinking the water in
the different places where | resided. For a
long time | suffered severely, and used many
so-caled cures, but none of them did me a
particle of good. Final y purchased bot
tie of Hunts Remedy of Mr.. Lsker, the
druggist, with the guarantee that it would
help me, as it aitarward proved. 1t is now
my purpose to spoa ak well of q medicine that
has yielded results gratifying to me.
sincerely believe that any one who will use it
will indorse my statement. | propose to ex-
press myself honestly. Gratefully yours,
REV. CHARLES PIKE.

Why Drivers Turn to the Right.

Henry Grady, says in the Atlanta Con-
stitutio1s: Major W. II. Smyth gives me
the following origin of the American
custom of turning to the right on the
road: Our ancestors drove oxen as II
usual thing. In driving an OK team the
driver walks on the left of the team, so
that he can handle the goad or whip
with his right hand. In meeting a wagon
each driver would turn to the right, so
that he could be between his own oxen
and those of the other wagon.

Boston BIOOUS.

Mr.. c. S. Hollis, veterinary surgeon,
Boston, Mass, certilies that he has made
the great pain-cure, St. Jacobs Oil, the
sole remedy in his practice for horse
ailments, and considers it superior to any
cure he has known in forty years. He
tried the same great -banishcr on
himself for rheumatism and by which he
was completely cured.

We continually hear a good deal

ton, and a great deal of sympathy is
bestowed upon them, especially upon
the professional men. The clergy are
made much Of when they are over
worked. Then the congregation raises
handsome sum and sends the Door
overworked man to Europe to amusC
himself, and he amuses himself very
much indeed.
We know a good deal about work
honest, square, steady, effective work
but about overwork we have great
deal of doubt. Generally speaking
when man is said to be Overworked,
the truth is he has been guilty of soma
excess which breaks down his strength.
There may be cases 10 which there il
an excess of work, but of these cases
there are very few indeed.
The excess in eating, in drinking in
neglect OF exercise, or in some other
mysterious way. A man OF ordinary
health can stand all the real work he
has to do, but the additional strain
which he puts upon himself outside oil
work is more than he can bear. There
is no delusion more frequent or more
absurd than this delusion of over
work. There is always excess in
the case, no doubt, but not an excess
Of labor. Iii an excess of some other

General Trade.

A little SITTER tone prevails in the
meat market and most dealers charge
10 per lb. higher, though some with
liberal stocks on hand have not ad-
vanced their price. The supply here
is very seant, aad numerous dealers
hold none atsall, having delayed pur.
chasing in anticipation Of lower
values, which SO far, they have failed
to realize. Atwestcrn points, higher
prices are reported on wheat, but this
failed to harden the rates for -four,
which continues in ample supply and
carries an easy tone. In cornmeal
there ia but little movement, not over
600 bbls having been received
during the past two weeks. As an
INSTANCE of the stagnant condition Of
meal, and the change as compared with
former seasons the tact is noted that a
single dealer Of this city sold during
the month Of March two years ago
5000 bbls, and for the same month this
year the same trader sold but 400 bbls
The supply of hay is largely in excess

The Vicksburg Herald, of the sth,
states that Captain VIM. NJ. Vosburg,
OF Vicksburg, an experienced civil
engineer, visited the dredgeboat
Herndon, now operating in the har-
Dor, and gives as his opinion that the
work will be success. The earth
brought up by the dredge is hard and
firm. The Captain states that the
SuppositiOn that the canal as dredged
woaid Gll up rapidly, In bis opinion,
is fsllscy. BE thinks the chsnuel
made BY the dredgeboat will be per-
msnent, as the sides and bottom Of
the proposed canal are formed Of
waxy blue clay, which will preserve
its formation with tenacity, and
neither be subject to washing, caving
in or slOughing of, as would be the
case with sand or any other in6rm

fear was for the 40 foot span adjoin,
in the iron and a man has been sta
toned there most of the time to watch
it,as it was unprotected by stone break
waters. Monday the ice began 10 move
slowly at first, and then. as the wind
was blowing strongly from the south,
more rapidly. The first lot struck
the ice embarked against the danger

stopped. 1t then swung to the main
current and thence down the river,
and travel, in about thirty minutes,
was allowed to proceed. The only
damage done was the straining of the
support, but this is not thought to be
very serious. The ice kept moving
all the aft, rnoon, but in small cakes,
so that there was little or no damage.
