Rev. DIR. Hamlin, of Constantinople,
saved hundreds of lives by the following
simple preparation, during the terrible
raging of cholera in that city few years
since. In no case did the remedy fail
where the disease could be reached in sea-
son. 1t is no less effective in cholera NOR
bus and in ordinary diarrhea. A remedy
SO easily procured and SO vitally eficacious
should be always at hand.


An ordinary vial of it can be had for
twenty-five cents, and no family should be
without it over night. The writer of this
experienced its benefits and can attest to its
almost magical influence in affording relief
from excruciating pain.


He ardently hopes that every one whose
eyes trace these lines will cut out the article
from the paper, and procure the medicine
without delay. Its prompt application will
relieve pain, presumptively, save life.

THAT SMUGGLING CAsE-It seems that three
well known business houses in this city were
concerned in the smuggling case we mentioned
recently. Natmegs alcohol and alcoholic
liquors were the articles. These were with the
exception OF the nutmegs, taken out of bond in
Boston, carried about on the sea for time, and
then landed on Long Island, whence they were
brought to this city. The nutmegs were direct
ly smuggled. The smuggling has been carried
on for some time. The authorities have been
quietly hunting the matter up, and the arrest
and conviction of parties for smuggling last fall
supplied the missing link in the evidence The
authorities, not unnaturally, are very reticent;
but, so far as we learn this is the true state
of affairs. Suits have been commenced and
bonds given in the sum of $4,000 a

THE RIGHT TINE FOR SUPERIOR.


The time for railway in Superior has
fully arrived. This is plain to every property
owner of this place who has been at the head
of Lake Superior within the last wear The
development across the Bay, hitherto wholly
artificial, would yet be enabled to attract the
commerce and manufactures naturally tribu-
tary to this site, if this site should continue
undeveloped from two to five years longer


A year or two at critical time, is wor IA
much to the prospects of commercial point
And it is critical time in the opinion of
good judges for property holders at the head
of this Lake, as tie rapid groaoh Of tie farm
ing interest along the line of the Northern
Pacific road and down the Red River valley,
points to an interchange of freights, and a
demand for goods and manufactured articles,
that will speedily produce a legitimate busi-
ness development in this quarter


Significant facts are such as these: Detroit
Lake City is already wheat centre; Perham,
near SIdtlci, mas Shl ppeu oo,OpO DuS!elS OF
last years crop alone; two years more of the
same development along the n. P. road and
in Manitoba (which a travelled English gen
tleman pronounces a better farming country
than Australia, New Zealand California or
any part of the Unon) will inevitably lay the
foundations of a perncnent trade at the head
of Lake Superior.


The prize lies between three contestants
on the southwestern shore of the Bay of Su-
peror, viz: Rices Point, "Superior City"
and Superior proper. By the convention of
January 29th, these are put on such "equal
footing" that property owners in Superior
can reap the whole benefit of the railway
progress of the last five years in the North
west, provided they promptly do their part
IN deciding depot grounds at the mouth of the
Nemadji. Otherwise they must see other
men profit by their inexcusable negligence
