we can produce. And these two together
will in ail probability progress at.the
expense of the hog product, or in other
words, the production of pork will de
preciate as the others increase. Several
circumstances combine to indicate this
change in our industrial efforts, the
chief of which are the uncertainty of the
hog crop on account of disease, and the
growing imp ‘ession that swine flesh isnot
the most desirable article of diet. .Tn tb*

Educational Comparisons.
[New York Times, 1
Some interesting contrasts are offered
by a comparison of the just issued re
port of the London (England) School
Board with the report of the Board of
Education of this city for last year. The
total average attendence in London was
350,507, and in this city, including all
grades of schools, was 130,659. The to
• 1 teaching forqe in London is notgiven,
but the average number of pupils to each
instructor appears to be about thirty,
which would give a total of 11,683 teach
ers. In New York, each of the 382 male
teachers and 2,893 female teachers are
expected to care for about forty pupils.
The highest salary paid, to a male
teacher, in New York, is $3,000, and the
lowest, to a woman, S4OO. The average
salary, including all grades of schccls, is
about $750, and in the grammar and pri
mary schools is about SIOO less. The
range of salaries is not given for London,
but the average male teacher’s earning
is £132, while the average school mistress
receives only £lOl. So it would seem
that the teachers of New York are both
harder worked and better paid. The
cost of each scholar to the taxpayers of
New' York was $31.05 in the grammar
schools, and $15.20 in primary schools.
In London the gross cost per head was
about sl4, or £2 17s. 6d. lu both cities
the total accommodations are insufficient
(in London 70,000 children, in a total
census of 689,908 children, are without
accommodations of any kind) and in
both cities also the evil is made worse
by a bad local distribution of such
schools as exist. In comparing these
figures, the ratio of the total populations
of the two cities may be taken at about
one to four.
Sensations After an Opium Smoke.
De Quincy’s “Confessions of an Opium
Eater ” do not describe those of an opium
smoker, although the feeling must be
somewhat similar. The strangest dreams
overtake the unconscious sleeper, the pipe
falls from his hands, his face becomes
livid, and the visions that pass before
his drugged fancy are simply delicious.
|No dreams of pleasure, no fancied
beauty, can equal the scenes and forms
called up in the visions of the opium
smoker. After half an hour of perfect
content and rest the victim w r akes to
find that wfith the dawn of reason comes
the waking, racking brain. The head
feels about ten times its usual size, and
the feeling about the heart is most pain
ful.

This Sarsaparilla is a combination of
vegetable alteratives Stillingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock —with the lodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
efficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully com
bined, that the full alterative effect of
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
Still so effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence, which
prominent physicians all over the coun
try repose in it, prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence of £he superiority of this Sar
saparilla over every other alterative
medicine. So generally is its superi
ority to any otiier medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has evei
possessed are strictiy maintained.

THE GENUINE
DR. C, McLANE’S
CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS,
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DYSFEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the
1 edge of t K e ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able 'to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss of mem
ory, accompanied with a painful sen
sation of having left undone some
thin:.; which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
weariness and debility; he is. easily
startled, his feet: are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa
tion of the skin ; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer
cise would lie beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex
isted, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the liver to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pills, in
cases of Ague and Fever, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a fair trial.
For all bilious derangements, and as
a simple purgative, they are unequaled
