This morning Aid. G. J. Larkin re-
turned from Washington, where in con
junction with Major j. NJ. Beardsley.
Sheriff ]. NJ. Reticker and B. d. Buford,
ESQ, he has been laboring in the interests
of the Hennepin canal for two weeks.
Coming as he has, direct from the capital,
Mr.. Larkin is very naturally well posted
as to the outlook for the Hennepin canal
at the present time, which is probably the
most critical period in the history OF the
measure. Mr.. Larkin was Intercepted
by an ARGUS representative this morning,
TO whom he sand;
THE chances for the Hennepin canal
lust now are good; the outlook is very
encouraging. but it, is a settled fact that
we can never get the measure through
upon the strength of It's merits, There
has got to be trade" compromise
with the members of congress who are
opposed to it, and that | think we have
accomplished. The immense be netits OF
the cana, have been set forth in their
strongest possible light, but these will
play no part IN the vote in congress Its
opponents will tight it anyway, unless
they are given To understand that they
must vote for it, or come out at
the slim end of the horn when they want
anything, aud believe We have given
these congressman to understand that We
are not to be trfiled with, that we mean
business, and we mean to have the Hen
nepin canal"

From the Cincinnati tohlo) Postl
Recently gentleman interested I'm the
subject Of dyspepsia had occasion TO look
up statistics, and his report thereon is quite
interesting. lie finds that this complaint
prevails principally among people Of mode
rate living, and others Of preludlced views
who oppose the use Of stimulants IN any
form, and that among the more wealthy
classes and those who maintain a sideboard
there are comparatively few cases of dys-
pepsia. He claims that In England, whore
there are the most immoderate caters and
gourmands in the world, and where the
most indigestlble edibles are INDUCED
such as plum pudding and veal pies at
night-dyspepsia Is almost unknown. Eng
lishmen laugh at the feeble and debllitated
stomachs of Americans, and any American
who has travelled In England will tell how
he was ridiculed at the mention of dyspep-
STA. Their exemption from diseases Of this
Kind, this writer claims, is due entirely to
the stimulants they drink with theirmeals--
children es well as grown people, Of all
ages-ard yet, despite this freeusc OF stmu-
liant, there is comparatively little drunken
ness among the English. lie goes further
to say, that there is natural Unborn crav-
Ing for stimulation, and on account of the
great varieties and indigestible qualities Of
the food OF the present day, stimulant is as
necessary as the food itself. IL Is qucs-
ton, he maintains, whether the people OF
this country are not straining their ideas
and prejudices against the use Of stimulants
to dangerous extent and to the destruc-
ton Of the health Of the people. This
stupid opposition to iudicious use of the
same, especially when we have pure arti-
Gle like Duffy's pure malt whiskey, has done
more harm and been the cause of more
misery-as evidenced by the thousands OF
dyspeptics and other invnlids, whose COM
plants are directly traceable to imperfect
digestion-than could ever arise from even
free indulgence In the use of liquors. The
waste and decay Of the lungs is always
closely associated with, and follows almost
directly upon, a weakened stomach and Inn
paired digestion, and in fact, nearly all
