New York, Sept. 1-Expectation OF
an early challenge from Great Brit.

race for the Americas cup has stirred
up speculation in yachting circles.
Much secrecy surrounds the plans for

the Constitution can be improved 50
that 1t will be much faster than last

club may feel itself in duty bound t.
build still another defender and not
trust too implicitly to the Constitu.

might come In for much adverse crit.
icism.
There ls no lack OF patriotism or
money in the club, and just as soon
as the challenge comes to hand Wig.

MIR. A. B. GRARDEAU, Savannah, Ga
DEAR SIR:-Some years ago | operated float
ing saw mill on the Savannah River. My base of
operations was being constantly changed, and my
hands were always exposed to the worst malarial
influences | employed over one hundred hands,
and the work was conducted as much in water as
out of it. For this reason, in August and Septem-
Der there was great loss of time and business, on
account of sickness among the workers.
My attention was then called to Johnsons Chill
and Fever Tonic, and l determined to give the
medicine trial. | procured 1t, and those who
were sick were put on this treatment and those who
were feeling badly were at once given the Tonic.
In a short time every one ofthe one hundred hands
was well and reported for duty; and from that time
on used nothing else but Johnson's Tonic, and
never had another case of fever.
Yours very truly,
j. r. LASSITER.

Canadian Health and Beauty.

One feature of this country which
impresses every visitor, is the abound
ing health of the Canadian women and
girls. Their compilations generally
are very fine, caused undoubtedly by
the pure air and the generally outdoor
life which is led here. Canadian wo--
men are strong and vigorous and walk
great distances, compared with the
walking done by American women.
In fact, I never saw such walkers as
these people are. Men, women and
children-whole families-walk miles
to entertainments, the parks and 9TH
er places and think nothing of it;
while the street cars run empty or are
filled with tourists from the
States, but there are exceptions, as l
have personally discovered. Having
remarked with some emphasis upon
this feature of Canadian life, with
special reference to young woman
stopping at the same hotel, my wife
replied: This young woman who
walks twenty miles day without fa--
tigue, who is certainly unusually
strong and well and whom you have
rhapsodized as a dream of Canadian
health and beauty was born in Mas
sachusetts, has lived in Boston all her
! life, was raised on Emerson and baked
beans and is an American girl through
and through. Possibly there are 9TH
ers.'
Possibly there are. At any rate
have nothing more to say about Ca
madam health and beauty.

FARE BETTER.
Courier Readers Paid Postage on Pa.

SouiiSr neduerS Faid postage on Pa
pers in 1852.
Courier readers of today who have
the paper delivered at their DOORS or
mailed to them prepaid, fare better
than their father and grandfathers did
fifty years ago. Then the postage
rates were considerably higher and
the subscriber was compelled to pay
the postage in addition to his SUBJ
scription. The readers in the country.
was mailed to them free Of charge,
Those residing outside of Wapello
county, though, paid one-half cent a
copy in addition to the yearly rate.
this cost those taking the daily pa
pers, S1.52 year, it did not apply to
Courier readers, however, as at that
time weekly only was published. The
following is an article which appeared
in the Courier September 10, 1852, ex--
planatory of the new postal laws which
were then considered a good thing:
The postage on newspapers weigh
ing less than three ounces las all pa
pers do) to any part of the United
States is reduced to one cent COPY
where sent to regular subscribers.
Where the same shall be paid quarter
ly or yearly in advance at the Office
where mailed. one half Of the above
rate only will be charged
Second. Newspapers when circu--
lated in the states where published
will be charged only half the above
rates.
Third. Subscribers to weekly pa
pers residing in the county where
same are published will receive them
free of postage.
The above are the main features OF
the bill which are deemed of interest
to the Courier readers. Under this
law the residents of Wapello county
will receive the Weekly Courier free
of postage. Subscribers in other por-
lions of the state will have to pay
but twenty-six cents postage per an.
mum. While the subscribers to the
papers which are printed daily will
have to pay only s1.52 per annum.
These provisions certainly afford
new inducements to the people to sus
tain the press, and at the same time
benefit themselves, and we doubt not
it will result in a large increase to the
circulation of newspapers among the
Millions"
