When a vessel sinks in the chan
mel through Lake George Flats, near
Sault Ste. Marie, there is plenty of
trouble. The value of the vessels de-
layed by a wreck there recently is es-
timated at sI4, 200, 900, and that of
their cargoes 81, 900, 900. At one time
seventy lake steam vessels were an
chored on the east side Of the block
ade and sixty On the west side, and a
new channel had to be cut through
the flats TO allow them to continue
their way. Four dredges worked day
and night to make a channel 700 feet
in length, 90 feet in width, and so
feet in depth. 1t is said that the
only way to prevent accidents like
that which caused the wreck is to
limit the speed of vessels in the
channel. There was the same trouble
in the st. Clair Flats until men were
stationed at the ends of the channel
to time the Yessels.-New York Sun.

Strange Coincidence.

For some time young woman from
Sweden has been looking for her sis
ter, Of whose whereabouts she knew
nothing except that she was some
where in the United States. Finally,
the other day, she drifted to Port
land, Me-, and in inquiring for this
sister mentioned a name that sounded
a little like Swift So she was taken
to the store of Mr.. Swift in that town,
who, however, proved to be entirely
ignorant of the girls whereabouts.
But while she was telling her story 4
man happened to be in the store who
said that he had a Swedish servant
girl who might possibly be able to
help the inquirer. The denouement
was quite dramatic, for the servant
girl proved TO be the long-looked-for
sister.

RrazIlIan ImmIeration.

Some interesting information as to
the elements that are going to make
up the future citizen of the new Bra
lillian republic-interesting in the
way of comparison with our own
stock-is afforded by the immigration
returns of the port of Rio Jan GIRO.
In the first eight months of last year
lis, l60 immigrants arrived at Rio.
OF these So, 478 were Italians, %, O36
Portuguese, 1886 Spaniards, 10, 984
Russians, 2,157 Austrians, 2,351 Ger
mans, 1,789 English, 1,7O2 Swedes,
900 French, 1874 Belgians, 264 Poles,
139 Swiss, 80 Americans, It Dutch,
and l 100 Asiatics. 1t might be in
ferred from the very great difference
in the proportion of the nationalities
compared with our own immigration
that the resulting general type will
be widely different from the United
States American.

the progress of Consumption. In
all its earlier stages, it can be cured.
It's a scrofulous affection of the
lungs-a blood faint = and, as In
every other form of scrofula, DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
is a certain remedy. But it mast
be taken in time-and moo is the
time to take it.
1t purifies the blood that's the
secret. Nothing else acts ike it.
It's the most potent strength-re-

For Weak Lungs, Splitting of Blood,
Bronchitis, Asthma, Catarrh, and all
lingering Coughs, it's a remedy
that's guaranteed, in every case,
to benefit or cure.
If it doesn't, the money is re-
turned.
In other words, it's sold on
trial.
No other medicine of its kind is.
And that proves that nothing else
is "just as good" as the "Discov-

The dealer is thinking of his
profit, not of yoatrs, when he urges

The Governor and Council.

AUGUSTA, January 14.-At q meeting
of the Governor and Council, Thursday,
the removal of Washington Phillips and
Timothy Stubbs, special liquor consta-
bles in Androscoggin country, was pre-
sented and hearing ordered for next
Wednesday. The hearing on the pardon
of Thomas A. Turner of Chelsea, con-
victed of rape, is postponed to the next
meeting. Ex-Liquor Agent Howard was
present and settled with the council. His
sales for the eight months up to the last
of July, when hewas superseded, amount
ed to $57, ,973 65, which is very large ow-
ing to the new law which closed many of
the rum shops. The liquor which was
shipped to the liquor agent at Connor
plantation and seized at Caribou, will be
delivered over to Agent Gilmore who will
accept it as a portion of his stock. A pc
tition is in for pardon of Patrick Bell
of Bangor, an inmate of the Reform
School.
