Cherry PeCtoral

Is not a new claimant for popular conf
dence, but medicine which is to-day
saving the lives of the third generation
who have come into being since It was
first offered to the public.
There is not household in which this
invaluable remedy has once been in
troduced where its use has ever been
abandoned, and there is not person
who has ever given it a proper trial
for any throat or lung disease susccp-
tble of cure, who has not been made
well by it.
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has,
IN numberless instances, cured obstinate
cases of chronic Bronchitis, Laryngitis,
and even acute Pneumonia, and has
saved many patients in the earlier stages
of Pulmonary Consumption. II Is a
medicine that only requires to be taken in
small doses, is pleasant TO the taste, and is
needed in every house where there are
children, ms there is nothing so good as

The following data. taken from the
"Bulletin OF the Interoceanic Canal, /"
bearing date LIST August, 1886, issued
by the company engaged in digging
the Panama canal, may be OF interest
to our readers.
The cost OF the canal as primarily
determined was upon the hypothesis
that the cube of earth and rock to be
removed was 70 900, 900 cubic metres,
considerably more than the same
number OF cubic yards) to cost twelve
hundred millions of francs, or say two
hundred and forty millions Of dollars,
q very large portion TO be rock. Ex-
perience shows the absence OF a
great deal Of rock, and thus the vol
ume or cube to be removed is in
creased to one hundred and ten mill
lions Of cubic metres, the excess
resulting from the slopes that must
necessarily be given to the banks.
The depth Of the canal is to be 0
metres and the width at bottom %
metres. 1t commences at Colon Tor
as we Americans improperly call it, at
AspinwalD and terminates at a point
called Boca, about II miles from the
city Of Panama, or ON the bay of the
same name.
De Lesseps says that the cube re-
moved in digging the Suez canal con-
tanned 75, 900 900 cubic metres. That
II per cent. Of the total cost of that
work was expended in eight years,
during which time one-third of the
cube or % ,000, 900 cubic metres were
removed. That it was then said that
20 years would be required to com
plete the work but that it was finished
in the following two years, and
thrown open to commerce, as an
nounced, upon the 18th November
1869. He cites the fact to show that
lIc uliHCutt} III WOihb VI biVoe mos
nitude is in eifecting the organization
in providing for the comfort of those
who are to do the work, in getting
them on the ground, in providing the
machinery and the workshops neces.
sary for repairs. Then there must be
hospitals and sisters OF charity to look
after them and physicians to attend
and a large staff OF engineers, con
tractors ct ID OmRe genus; all OF which
being done and coin plenty being
on hand, he feels justified lin view OF
the work done upon the canal in say
ing that it will be opened to commerce
in 1889.

SAN DIEGO, August 23.--Hon. w. w.
Bowers, ex.Assemblyman and Republi
can candidate for State Senator for this
district, met with an accident at the
Florence hotel yesterday, which will
probably confine him to his room for
some time, and may possibly result in
more serious consequences. He was
hi itching q team of colts to a carriage,
when the animals became unruly and,
plunging forward, threw Bowers to the
ground. The wheels OF the vehicle
passed over his head and body, inflict-
ing severe cash on the right side Of
his head, extending from the ear TO
above the eye, but, fortunately, not
fracturing the skull. He was severely
bruised in various parts Of his body,and
had two ribs broken.
The British Grain Trade.
LONDON, August 23.-Mark Lane Er-

Scenes in Ireland.

4 Glasgow correspondent, writing TO
The Cleveland Leader, says: The coun-
try scenes all over Ireland are far diff
ferent from those of America. The
people have q strong brogue, and
though those of the cities dress the
same rs we do, out in the country dis
tricts you find some of the quaint knee
brceches peasants whom you see in the
old Irish prints. In the cities, at the
railroad stations, and in the hotels there
is great display of brass buttons and
gaudy liveries. The railroad men all
wear bright colors, and the porters
have caps with scarlet bound about
them, while their usual suit is yellow
velveteen. The guards or the conduc-
tors of the trains are dressed in blue and
many buttons, and the government of
ticials connected with the postofiic e
mail service have striking uniform.
met one of them at station between
the lakes of Killarney and Dublin. He
was mail-dispatcher, changing the
mails at the depot to q number of
trains, examining the seals of the mail
bags, and being responsible for them
during their stay at this station. He
had been seventeen years in the SER
vice, and had three gold bands on his
coat, each of which indicated, five years
term of good behavior, and each of
which gave him % cents week extra
pay.
The British soldiers are another set of
uniformed men whom you will find
everywhere in Ireland. They wear
gaudy red uniforms, and the cavalry
gallop through the streets of the cities
amid the scowls and curses of the Irish.
South and central Ireland has no love
for England. The American flag is
oftener seen than the union jack, or the
flag of Great Britain, and in the many

Americans Abroad.

American ladies make their way into
society more easily in London than
they do in Paris. How it is done /
have already explained. The London
clubs. however, are more exclusive than
the dl awng-rooms, and the feeling
prevails among American visitors to
our capitol that they have been shabbily
treated in this respect. The husbands
and brothers of some Of the bellies
AmericdnieS of the season complain
that while the women have been favor
ed, the men have received the cold
shoulder in the club band BY the laws
of some of our clubs the number of
honorary members is rcstr cted, whereas
it is the general rule in the clubs in all
the principal cities of the United States
that the club is always free to add TO
the honorary members, and the Ameri-
can newspapers are suggesting repri-
sails. Visitors from the other side of
the Atlantic have increased abundantly
during the last two or three years--to
such an extent, indeed, that it surprises
me that somebody has not already
started iirst-rate American club in our
metropolis. london Truth.

The Fleur De Lis,

8oston Cultvator.
The legend connected with this flower as
the national emblem OF France is as follows:
When Clovis King Of the Franks, married the
Princess Clotlda of Burgundy, in 493 A. D.,
she was Christian, bat the King like most
of the Frankish nation, was heather. The
young Queen earnestly desired the conversion
OF her husband, but her arguments had little
effect on him. However, in 495, the King,
when engaged in battle with the Allemanni
(Germaus) at Tolbaic, near Cologne, was hard
pressed and in his necessity called upon the
god Of the Christians, vowing that, should he
obtain the victory, he would 'msclf become
Christian. The Allemannis were routed, and
on Christian day of the same year Clovis and
several thousands Of his soldiers were hap
tised. On the eve of his baptism an angel
from heaven, it is said presented King Clovis
with blue manner embroidered with golden
-four de lis, which he was to adopt as the ban
ner Of France. From the time of Clovis to the
French Revolution the Kings of France bore
as their arms first an indefinite number and
latterly three golden lilies on an azure field.
The virtues of St. Jacobs Oil, as proclaimed
by millions of restored sufferers, should in

ton, and that is Mrs. Langtry. She is sufi
GENTLY beautiful TO make one excuse anything,
and the eyes are SO perfectly satisfied that any
other sense is not considered.
Some prudsh woman rather complained Of
Mrs. Langtry's bodices-she thought they
were too decolctte; but where a woman is so
beautifully formed there is no question of i'm
modesty in the showing of her charms. Abso-
lutely perfect busts are few and far between.
Mrs Langtry is the posscssor not only Of
thoroughly handsome neck, throat and bust,
but her back is quiet as beautiful. She is not
gross, and therefore no harm is done and
great deal Of pleasure given by the gowns she
so wisely selected, and in which she looks like
the much talked OF and at last found JOY for
ever.

the family gave her the freedom of the
house, opened the library-door to see
if Jeffrey was there. She saw him sit

table, sobbing as child. She was
about to retire, thinking she had not
been seen, when Jeffrey reckoning her
to seat, said:
