He tried the best physicians but without
being benefited and he used several specific
rheumatic cures, but was not helped. About
one year and six months ago he read in
this paper of a case somewhat similar to
his which was cured by Dr.. Williams Pink
Pills and concluded to try this remedy.
After taking the first box he felt some
what better, and after using three boxes,
the pains entirely disappeared, the dizzi-
ness left him, and he has now for over
year been entirely free from all his former
trouble and enjoys better health than he
has had since his boyhood.
He is loud in his praises of DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and will gladly
corroborate the above statements. His post

"SHE MAY BE SINKING"

At 10 o'clock at night the pilot left US,
bowling along at eight knots an hour,
with the wind about a point on the
quarter. Before leaving, he again as
sured Capt. R that any of the nu-
merous junks in sight would do lit
tie piracy if occasion offered; told him
to take no notice of any signals of dis
tress, and if anything got in his way
not to attempt to sheer out for it, but
to give it the stern"

OF them pretty closely, but they all

handed, the lookout-man was called
from the to'-gallant fo'castle to help
mcke sail, and he went to the foreyard
to assist in getting the boom out.
The lashing had been cast adrift, but
the boom was not yet started, when
Jim Hart, the lookout-man, who had
his eyes about him, reported to the
second mate "a large junk on the

could see the junk under the foot of the

Mr. B had taken one of the lights

much has been said and written OF
Western Canada, and the new provinces
forming it, he has been led to give the
subject some inquiry, and he has Deen
shown letters written to the Canadian
government from delegates sent out Dy
friends to inspect the country.
One of these delegates who was sent
to Western Canada says: I'm under
taking to give description fear l
shall not be able to give it justice, for
] hardly know where to begin or when
TO end. For a plea for my judgment,
I will assume, for an illustration, the
experience of man who went from
place to place in search of a wife, and
finding SO many Of good qualities and
attractions, was unable to determine
which to choose, so in looking for
home in Western Canada I like the
country well, and two of my boys are
going this fall (they have since gone,
and each has homestead), where |
am satisfied they will do well. The
lands which I have seen are far supe-
rior in every respect and beyond my
expectations. Lakes and streams to be
found in all districts abound with innu-
merable kinds OF water fowl, while fish
are very abundant. On all sides we see
innumerable stacks Of grain, proving
beyond doubt the fertility Of the SOIL
On either side Of the track can be seen
in addition to the grain herds of cattle,
horses and flocks Of sheep. I have
travelled over great portion Of the
Western states and have seen nothing
to compare with this country. One
hundred and sixty acres Of land are
given free to actual settlers, and saw
cases where as high as $40 per acre had
been cleared in one year. I do not wish
to advise anyone, but as for myself |
shall leave as soon as can arrange my
affairs" The agents of the Canadian
Government are now at work Organi-
zing excursion parties, and the Depart
ment of the Interior at Ottawa, Canada,
will be pleased to supply the informa-
ton to those who are not within reach

Newspaper Owned by a City.

Dresden owns a singular piece Of
property. It is morning newspaper
the Dresdener Anzeiger. This daily
paper, Upon the death of it's last pro-
prietor, was willed to the city upon
the conditic1 that all profits arising
therefrom should be spent upon the
public parks. This year large play
ground Of nearly eight acres was pur-
chased from Prince George, the kings
brother and heir apparent, and it will
be ready for use next spring. The
paper continues to hold the respect OF
all citizens, for the trust has been car
ried out in the broadest spirit, and the
paper has never been employed to
foster any school of opinion.

The b. & o. and Greater New York.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad now
runs its freight trains over its own
tracks into New York city. Years ago
a line was built from Crawford junction
on the Jersey Central railroad to St.
Georges, Staten Island, crossing the Kill
Won Kull on long bridge and trestie
work. and all B. & o. freight, either in
bound or outbound, was handled from
that point.
The recent extension Of the limits Of
New York city has made Staten Island
a part Of Greater New York and the B.
& o. now enjoys the distinction of being
the only line from the West. except one
which has its own rails into the city OF

No class Of people is so liable to throat
: trouble as the great class who make up the
Gospel ministry. The strain put upon the tn e
vocal organs by constant exercise; the
sudden change from heated building to
the cool air when the vocal organs are in
a state of complete relaxation; the fact
that minister feels impelled to use his
voice when actors and lecturers would
take the needed rest; these are among the
reasons why "Clergymen's sore throat "
is known as special disease. The Rev:

and the anchor being weighed and sail
made on the ship, the native pilo'
worked us up through the fleet OF IDLE
vessels to a clear anchorage anu
brought us up to wait for more

time. Captain R was very anxious
to get out at once, but the pilot as
sured him that he would have fine
Wholesale breeze by 9 o'clock that
night, and, after short conference
with him apart from others, the cap
tain yielded.
Not long before this time a British
bark had sailed from this same port
with $11 900 in hard cash on board, but
she had never reached her destination.
She had been picked up derelict, hav-
ing evidently been captured and ritied
by pirates and her crew murdered. The
combined British and French fleets
had just met in a bloody repulse in at
tempting to force a passage past the
Pe1ho forts, on the Canton river; and
the Chinese pirates, acting on the
theory that it was time to make hay
When the sun was shining, were par
tlcularly active and daring in their vo-
cation just at that time.
Our pilot had induced Capt. R to
acquiesce in his views by quietly tell
ing him the exact number of boxes OF
opium on board, and where they were
slowed in the ship, and assuring him
that many others on shore knew all
about it as we'll as he. This seemed a
little surprising, as the opium had been
brought on board secretly-so much so
that some of our own crew did not
know that we had any such cargo on
board. Another thing the pilot had
told him was that but few if any Of
the immense fleet of fishing junks
which constantly cruised about outside
the port and along the coast would OBJ
5ect to add little piracy to their reg
ular business, especially when tempted
by such prize as 200 boxes of opium.
The possibility that our capture might
be planned already, and that among
our tween deck passengers there might
be confederates Of any outside enc
mics, was also limited at; and alto
gether our captain concluded to follow
the pilots advice. and not sail till he
had plenty Of wind, when he could
laugh at all the junks they could bring
on.
Soon after sunset the wind did in
