PerniciOus Activity

In Office holders, to forward political
purposes has been objected to in high
places, and in some few instances has
met with condign punishment. Most
evil influences manifest this trait; it
is an attribute Of crime, alcoholism,
and disease, The pernicious activity
of coughs and colds, and their ten
dency to spread so as to affect healthy
tissue, conveys warning and men
ance LIE the warning is needed, and
such and efficacious remedy as Gooch's
Mexican Syrup is taken at once, all
evil consequences may be averted, for
Mexican Syrup conquers coughs and
colds with ease. lie these symptoms
are neglected, the very existence of a
vital organ is menaced, and the
pernicious activity Of tuberculous
matter in the process of disintegration
of the tissues produces Bronchitis,
Asthma, Pneumonia, or Consumption.
Must the victims Of these maladies
perish? No, Mexican Syrup is the
acknowledged specific for these
diseases, and its persistent use will
cure the most obstinate cases. Think
how much suffering through these
dreadful maladies might have been
averted, if Gooch's Mexican Syrup
had been taken at once! 1t is invaluable
in Plmonary diseases, and its
marvellous success in efecting perman
ent cures has caused sale of this
medicine which is without precedent.
1t quickly controls all symptoms, and
steps the supply of tuberculous
matter; it allays Inflammation, and
nourishes the system. Here is an
instance Of what it has done:

Remember that was at this time not eight years old, and had never before seen fainting fit, so that if sight so like to death bewildered me it was but natural. How long the fit lasted cannot say, but at last to my great joy, my mother raised her head and looked at me with puzzled stare that gradu- ally froze again to horror as recollection came back.
 ''Oh, Jasper, what could it be? What could it be2"
 Alas knew not, and yet seemed to know too well. The cry still rang in my ears and clambered at my heart; while all the time dull sense told me that it must have been a dream, and a dull desire bade me believe it so.

 He was about two hundred yards from me when first looked. Heartily glad to see any human being after my great terror, ran to- wards him eagerly, thinking to recognize one of my friends among the Pol1imbra fishermen. As drew nearer, however, without attracting his attention-for the soft sand muf1ed all sounds of footsteps-two things struck me. The first was that had never seen a fisher man dressed as this man was; the second, thathe seemed to watch the sea with an ab- sorbed and eager gaze as if expecting to find or see something in the breakers. At last was near enough to catch the outlines of his face, and knew him to be a stranger.
 He wore no hat, and was dressed in a red shirt and trousers that ended in rags at tho

American Civilization and Crime.
R1StO., Traveller

"Get money; honestly if you can, but
get it anyway" is the practical lesson of
the times. This tide has even reached
that degree where successful robbery, on
a magnificent scale, Is condoneC, c0urted;
the Gully requirement of society being that
1t shall be great enough and successful
enough to enable its conquerer 20 appear
in halo of palatisl splendor. The thief
who steals small articles is locked up;
the thief who steals millions is referred
to as "a great operator" The poor wo-
man who steals articles from the dry
goods store is sent to the police station;
the rich one Is respectfully referred to as
a 'kleptomaniac" Wealth and poverty
wear the rue with difference. The wo-
man who, be she never so vulgar, has
palace in New York, villa at Newport,
a retinue of servants, and who costumes
herself in diamonds to a degree that
renders necessary the near attendance OF
detectives in plain clothes, viii hnd every
door of society and art opened 10 her:
because indeed, she can entertain IN
splsndor; while the woman VT o Is a uni
varsity graduate, who Is exquisitely &C
complished and cultivated and refined
and who is tie wife of a professional or
literary man of modest means. living on
an questionable side street, may remain
in social obscurity all her lifetime. She
could bring to society enduring treasure;
but society prefers the woman who can
bring to it dinners and balls. All this is
the unerring Indication of crude phase
in our national development. We shall
overcome it; scholarship and statesman
ship, art and letters shall yet come to
their own: but just now &c prefer the
dinners of Lucullus. America has little
time to nourish the sense of beauty, says
Mr.. Arnold, and this fact is SO obvious II

FOrcign-GrOWn Potatoes.
Nm Nnrl- Press

dealer on the North River wharf,
whose firm was two years ago reputed to
be the heaviest dealers in potatoes i'll this
country, said yesterday 10 reporter:
The trade IL Amerlcan-grown potatoes
has ceased to be profitable because of
foreign com petition. All that we can
hope TO do is to come out without loss at
the end of the season. and It will be hard
work to do that. The production is 50
much less in Scotland, Germany and the
Northeast provinces than III the States
that potatoes can be shipped from those
countries to New York and sold at prices
ruinous to the American dealer and far
mer. The tariff of 15c bushel does not
enable Us to compete successfully.
"Over $4,000 barrels of potatoes have
been received in New York this week from
Scotland and Germany. There are about
sixty boat loads of domestic potatoes uu-
sold in the city, and they are not likely to
be disposed of soon for the foreign stock
is more than supplying the demand.
American farmers who have depended
chiefly upon their potato crop have got
to turn their attention to some other
product or devise methods of raising
potatoes at less cost than ever before. L
do not see now they ca2 cheaper their
production"
The gentleman said that the expert
meat of using foreign potatoes for seed
in the South, which is now in progress,
would surely prove disappointment.
The experiment had already been tried
several times without apy success. A
large quantity of Regent, Champion and
other foreign potatoes were shipped from
the city several weeks ago to various
parts of the South for seeding.
