lying in South bay for the past few days
waiting for fair weather, is bound for
Peru. She is loaded with lumber and
carries crew of Paraguayans, one Of
whom is said to be eight feet in height.
1t is expected that one Of the results Of
the prolonged stringency will be to drive
large number OF people from the cities
to the country to make their living as
producers. This would not be a bad re-
suit The cities of the country are over
crowded with non-producers. On land
these people could also be self-sustaining.

found to whom he had sold goods.

Facts have come to light concerning
the opium traffic in India which disclose
a striking similarity Of conduct between
government officials in that country and
municipal authorities in our own. The
three men whose brave investigation of
the inner working of the license system
in Bombay resulted in their imprison-
ment, are now in England, not as they
say "to talk about their own personal
sufferings but to expose the tactics Of the
officials Of the Indian government when
they wish to suppress men who render
themselves obnoxious by seeking to cut
off valuable source of revenue"
The executive has q subtle way
OF evading every law passed upon
moral questions by the imperial parla-
ment, and, it appears, connivcs at the ex-
istence Of illegal opium dcns, its agents
being virtually instructed to wink at the
Illicit traffic. The natives, say those
who are in a position to know, are
strongly opposed to the opium traffic,
and the statement that they resent in
reference by the home government is to-
tally untrue. "Christianity is on trial in
this matter" say these brave-hearted re-
formers. May it not be said that it is
also on trial in the matter Of the liquor
traffic the world over? How long will
Christian England and America continue
to be stumblingblocks in the way OF less
civilized nations? How long, for the
sake OF revenue" bring reproach upon
the name Of the Master whose teachings
they profess to follow? This is ques-
ton to be answered not by Providence
but by the Christian voter.

Gentlemen Per your request
very cheerfully send you this certificate.
Sometime in last May Mr.. F. B..
Major, the patentee of the Hog and
Poultry Cholera Cure, came to my
plantation to treat my hogs for cholera.
Up to that time / had lost 80 or 40,
also several fowls with cholera. After
his treatment my hogs and fowls ceased
dying. That is to say, have only lost
two hogs and they we're nearly dead
when he commenced to treat them
(they were so bad off that they refused
to eat.) I have lost no poultry since |
commenced to use his medicine.
l can most cheerfully reccommed the
Cholera Cure to the public. I believe
it the medicine is given according to
directions neither hogs nor poultry will
have the cholera. / am so thoroughly
convinced of this fact that shall always
keep some of the medicine on hand.
Very truly yours,
WIN. F. BUTTERwORTH.
