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* building up of these two industries we shall be careful to make haste slowly, otherwise haste will bring waste, and waste want, as sure as the sun shines. In other words commence with a few, and expand with growing knowledge and experience. 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. 3L3 m RELIABLE, \ Dr. Sanford’s Liver Invigor atop.

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.
