' The cart used in northern two heavy wheels, with wooden axlj springs, and a bodyaboutfgH r x^a light and three broad, oygrWfth bine cotton, framework tovrCen tandem by a carter TwQ-^enr'the left shaft take it along at rfate of about three miles an hour, and one can make in it an average of thirty- five miles a day, even over the roughest country. It will carry about three hundred pounds of goods, and one or even two passengers; and the tighter one is squeezed in the more comfortable it will prove, for that, and that alone, will be a protection from the terrible jolting over the rough country roads. It is told in some old book of travel in the narrative of the mission of Lord Amherst to the court of Pekin, if I re member rightly, that one of his attend ants died from the effects of the jolting he received during a short journey in one of these carts. But this mode of travel being the most rapid, I adopted itt" Sev eral years of experience of cart travel in China bad made me bold, so that I did not fear the fate which had overtaken the Amherst mission man. Comfortably wrapped in my wadded Chinese clothes, I' squeezed myself into my cart, feeling like a delicate piece of chinaware packed in cotton, and after a hearty farewell to the friends with whom I was staying at Pekin, the carters cracked their whips, and with a shout to the mules we were off.—Century. A Sunday with a Country Doctor. Sunday is a busy day for the doctor. A good many people put off being sick till Sunday, especially in haying time, and the calls began to come in early. So the narrow buggy went down the road, and did not return till late. Sunday school was in session and the children sang: Day of all the week the best, Emblem of eternal rest. A group of young women in white came out into the little burying ground, and through my open window I could hear gossip and laughter, as they picked their way among the gleaming white headstones. Then a party of ladies dressed in deep mourning appeared. Standing apart was a young couple chatting in a sheepish way. A small girl, with curiosity abnor mally developed, pretended to read the inscription on a tombstone near by, A7met organ was played again, and the children with the older people in the church, sang “He will carry yon through.” The voice of good Dominie Thompson rolled out in stirring tones as he sought divine guidance and* blessing for the beloved children of his flock.— Frank French in Scribner’s. for Infants and Children* “Castoriais so weH adapted to children that I recommend it as superior to any prescription known to mei” H. A. Archer, M. D., Ill So. Oxford St, Brooklyn, N. V. & CARSWELL, Advice to Mothers. Are you disturbed at night and broken of your rest by a sick child suffering and crying with pain of cutting teeth? If so, send at once and get a bottle of Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup for Children Teething. Its value is incalculable. It will relieve the poor little sufferer im mediately. Depend upon it, mothers; there is no mistake about it. It cures dysintery and diarr icEa, regulates the stomach and bowels, cures wind colic, softens the gums, reduces inflammation, and gives tone and energy to the whole system. Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup for children Teething is pleasant to the taste, and is the prescription of one 'of the oldest and best female nurses and physicians in the United States, and a for sale by all druggists throughout the world. Price 25 cents a bottle. For Coast Defenses, A very novel suggestion for the con struction of forts to defend onr seaboard cities comes from Mr. Anderson, the head of the engineering firm which has contracted with the government to build the lighthouse on Outer Diamond shoal, at Hatteras. His proposition is to sink caissons upon the sandy shoals which exist at the month of nearly all our riv ers, and upon them to erect forts of 3GQ feet in diameter, built of solid concrete, with walls fifty feet thick, with a bomb proof armor of steel over the interior.— New York Telegram. A functionary in the Russian army . who has come into considerable prom inence lately is a Jew named Baronok, whose duty is to spy upon corrupt offi cers and ferret out their stealings. He -is known as a very intelligent, honora ble and impartial man. Lately he con victed Gen. Toruanowsky, a favorite of the czar. Maurice, i^emhardt, son of Sara Bem- hardt, who latei^ -rounded his antago nist m a duel, is rememw^ by a good many Americans, who met re.- bere during his visit to this country with his mother. His mother allows him §35,000 a year for expenses and he runs in debt besides. A negro woman apparently died in Shreveport, La., but when the funeral procession arrived at the cemetery next day she rose up in her coffin and wanted to know what was going on. The mourn ers were terror stricken and dispersed in a hurry, leaving the woman to take care of herself. She is now as well as ever. A singular instance of the widespread- mg effect which a sudden freak of fash ion, even in leather, may have is afford ed m the fact that English naval officers have made a demand to be allowed to wear russet leather boots at sea. The slave population of the countrv was 2,009,043 in 1830, 2,487,355 in 1840 3,204,313 in 1850 and 3,953,760 in I860! Missouri had 25,091 slaves in 1830 58 240 in 1840, 87,422 in 1850 and 114,931 in 1860. Mr. Hammond, of Bangor, Mich., threw a knife at a mouse. The blade struck the floor, broke in two and apiece of the steel cut off his baby’s ear and in flicted injuries probably fatal. 686 MARKET STREET.

Acker, of England, discoverer of the celebrated Acker’s English Remedy for Con sumption and other popular preparations. Jr. Acker practised in his younger days among the middle classes of London, and was the means of doing great good, but his health failed and he found himself in the grasp of consumption, with a wife and child depending upon him for support* While in this condition, he discovered the cele? bra ted English Remedy, saved his own life and has since saved the lives of thousands who were on the sure road to death. Any man or woman who feels a tickling in the throat, who coughs, ^ es or has has shqr , w _ — w difficulty i breathing, should realize that these are the first symptoms of consumption which, if neglected, are sure to result fatally. Dr. Acker’s English Remedy has cured more than one thousand per sons who unquestionably had consumption and who were given up by their friends. It merits its popularity and is sold by reputable druggists in every city and town in America. You can’t afford to be without it. How Col. White ...
