The company of capitalists known as the Erlanger syndicate are attract ing great attention in this section at present, in view of the fact that they have recently leased the Cincinnati SouTltem Railroad, a great 'thorough fare which extends through the breadth of our State. The syndicate is composed of a number of European capitalists, with Mr. Erlanger, an immensely gentleman, at their head. They own and control a complete system of rail ways in the South, and by the invest ment of their capital and their energy and enterprise they are dung-much to build up the waste places of the South, and to make the whole Southern coun try blossom as a rose. The history of the formation of the Erlanger syndicate is not without a tinge of romance. During the war Mr. Slidell, of Louisiana, was a Con federate Embassador to France, and was accompanied to that country by his beautiful and attractive daughter, a young lady of rare graces and at tainments, who reigned a belle in the gay Parisian salons, and was sought in marriage by numbers of titled and aristocratic gentlemen. Her heart was won, however, by Mr. Erlanger. and they were married. After the war she succeeded in enlisting his sympa thies for the upbuilding of the stricken and prostrate Southland he organized a company for the purpose of invest ing capital in developing the resources of the Southern States. This syndi cate has invested largely in railroads,, and we are glad to learn that they are making money largely ami rapidly. It is thus, by singing the songs of her Zion in a strange laud, that a noble Soutlrern woman has eohtrihuted so largely to the wealth, the prosperity and upbuilding of her beloved native Lmd, —Leyiiajtoii Thinkers Will Read and Heed This.

An item fti yesterday's Tribune in regard to the present*gTiit of grain in the Chicago warehouses reads : “There are over eleven million bushels of grain in the Qhicago ware houses, nearly seven Millions being corn alone. The elevr&rs are prac tically filled to their capacity. There are no sales for shipment, ex cept grain of the lowejitegrades. The reason is that the cnoipnous prices at which the standard g/#dcs are held are too much for the shipper. Even the low freights, whieft at present are below anything whffeh the wildest imagination could have foreseen, do not oiler any inducemeuts to shippers to buy the corn at the fancy prices put upon it.” The present price <ti corn in this market, 74 cents per bushel, is about 72 per cent! above the average specie price of former years; while oilier cereals have advanced about 40iper cent. The increase in the price of corn is so markedly disproportionate, espe cially at a time when corn occupies fully storage capacity of out elevators, as to the question, “ Is it worth This extraordinary advance is pro fessedly based upon the belief that the corn crop of the United States is some 40 per cent, loss this year than in 1880., Recent statements do not verify this estimate ; aud, even if they did, it i$ not evident that the circum stances of the case woijd warrant such an unprecedented upward movement in quotations. It now appears prob able that there is actually more corn for sale than at the same date in any previous j car, with much less demand for it. The weather of last Winter and Spring was not favorable to the curing of corn in cr|ii,and that which came forward early |n* the Summer graded so low that not fill the contracts for future delivery. This induced the owners it back and sell it on longer futures, while baying back the contracts had made to deliver it earlier. result was a very slow forward movement of corn during the Stumper, whioh led many to believe that there was little corn to be moved. m Xfccftyt is, there is still an an nimial ly 1 a*ge %panitty of corn in or near first hands, and the high prices are stimulating farmers to bring out the aecumulationsof former years, fn some parts of the Country, and no tably in lowa, they MC pressing it for sale so freely that the railroads can ' wot touch the corn i\orcd in cribs Uunng last Winter, the current Ueliv- cries from wagon fully taxing the fa cilities for transportation. One can not realize the extent of this pressure without remembering that an advance of 72 per cent, in Chicago means a great deal more per cent, to the fann er, because rail freights are no higher than the}’ used to be. In former years 20 cents per bushel to the lowa far mer has been a good price for corn. Now he can obtain 55 cents, or an in crease of 175 per cent. And “most of him” is wise enough to see that such conditions cannot last forever. Hence he is selling freely, the high prices bringing out many a stock held over from two and three years ago. On the other hand there is a great decrease in the consumption of corn, dne to these high prices. Scarcely two-thirds as much of it is being used on the farm or in the w<srld outside as when prices were low—perhaps little more than half. It does not pay the farmer to feed it to hogs, and accord ingly we have had hundreds of hogs arrive at the stock yards within the past week which will barely average a leaf lard yield of eight pounds per head. The animals are being rushed forward to market without fattening, or else they are fed on material which costs less than corn. The same order of things obtains among those who usually buy corn for feeding In the Eastern States and in Europe. They cannot afford to feed corn to hogs at present prices, except on the most parsimonous scale. The quantity of corn felt to be needed for other stock is even less, as a bountiful hay crop, partly of second growth, furnishes food for cattle, while horses have the addi tional advantage of plenty of oats, which drives out corn when the latter is relatively high in price, as it is now. The distillers are still at work, as con sumers willingly bear an advance of from $1 10 to $1 18, which is a rise of about 40 per cent, on the price of the untaxed goods ; but even they are using more of other grain and less of corn than formerly. The manufacture of ‘‘ corn sugar,” which was stimulated i'h to activity by an abundance of cheap corn, has now been very much reduced on the increase in price of the raw material. Putting all these facts together, it certainly looks as if the men who arc placing their trust in corn are leaning on a broken reed. Their selfish ef forts to make money at the experience of blockaded commerce and suspen sion of pianpfactoring industries bid fair to recoil on their own heads. Would it not be well for them to pause? If. as it is alleged, many of them are members of a prominent Christian Church, which accepts the P>ible as a rule of faith and conduct, they may profitably heed the warning of Paul to Timothy (we quote from the revised version): “They that desire to be rich fall into temptation and snare * * * which some reaching after * * * have pierced them selves through with many sorrows.”— Chicago Tribune. Mrs. Annie A. Smihton, of Auburn, N. Y., writes: " I hud doctored Tar years and tried various advertised remedies for my complaint, winch was general prostration. I believe I suff ered every ill that llesli is heir to. The least exertion caused the greatest fatigue. I was tormented with dyspep sia and ever}' irregularity. My blood seemed poisoned, pimples and sores were all over my body, nothingl tried ever gave me more than temporary relief, and I felt myself growing worse and worse. Mr. Reynolds, the drug gist, advised me to use Brown’s Iron Bitters. From the very start I began to improve ; now I do not feel like the same woman. The Public Acts.

D., is the pop. tilar financial secretary of Howard University, and is specially fitted to . judge of merit and demerit. In a ref C3Ut letter from Washington to a friend * he said : f ‘ I have for two years past , been acquainted with the remedy known as Warner’s Safe Kidney and . Liver Cure, and with its remarkable, curative efficiency in obstinate and so-called incurable cases of Bright's , discae in this city. In some of these . eases, which seemed to be in the last . stages, and which had been given .up , by practitioners of both schools, the - speedy change wrought by this remc-.. dy seemed but little less than nprac- . ulous. I am convinced that for Bright’s Disease in ail its stages, in- . eluding the first symptoms, which seem 4 so slight but arc so dangerous, no , remedy heretofore discovered can be held for one moment in comparison , with this.” Food for the Brain and Nerves that-, will invigorate the body without, intox icating is what we need in these,days . of rush and worry. Parker’s Ginger Tonic restores the vital energies, soothes the nerves and bring good | health quicker than anything you can , use. Tribune. See other column.

Health, strength, and vigor given, and miraculous cures e tree ted, by using Brown’s Iron Bitters. Its sale,, is immense. The forest fires which lately devas-. tated eastern Michigan were not witb- 4 out compensation. Whilo they des troyed many human lives and much,, valuable property, they also swept clean of brush and scrub growth thou sands of acres of good soil, which , would otherwise have regained a wil derness, but which is now ready for immediate cultivation.
