RIVERS MOVING WESTWARD.
13 This Accounted For by the Revolu
tion of the Earth on Its Axis ?
Now Orleans Picayune.
The people who live on the banks of
the Mississippi river are accustomed to
the astonishing activity of this vast vol
ume of moving water in shifting its
channel and cutting away its banks
in one place while it builds up new ter
ritory at another. The entire alluvial
region of the Mississippi valley was
created by the river, and the land it
has built up ever at the mercy of forc
es that made it.
So long as the changes wrought by
this mighty current are all in the same
national limits no political complica
tions are possible, consequent upon the
ravages of the river and its power to
transfer territory from one place to
another. Tt would be different if two
nationalities were concerned, and
something like this is coming into view
in the case of the Itio Grande, which is
the boundary for a long distance be
tween the United States and Mexico.
In this connection the following state
ment, which cornea from Mexico, is oi
interest:
Gov. Carrillo, of the State of Chihua
hua, has recently made a trip of inves
tigation along the banks of the llio
Grande from Paso del Norte down for
a distance of about 100 miles, lie found
to his astonishment that the river was
making slow but constant inroads into
Mexican territory, eating away the
Mexican banks and depositing them on
the American side, and that thus many
thousand acres of the most fertile lands
in the Rio Grande valley on the Mexi
can side had been washed away. Up
on inquiry into this subject lie ascer
tained from the leading inhabitants of
that section of country that this had
been going on for over a generation,
and that large numbers of people had
thus been made homeless and forced to
Jeave the country, many of them going
to (lie New Mexican settlements of
Mesilla, Chamberino, Launiore, Las
Cruces, and Socorro. Gov. Carrillo as
certained also that great losses of valu-
ble territory had been taking place in
the vicinity of Paso del Norte, at
which town defensive works are now
being erected by competent engineers.
This Governor has, since bis return to
Chihuahua, indicated that he is fully
impressed with the importance of the
subject, and that lie intends to advise
not only the State representative of
the city of Chihuahua, but also the na
tional Congress now in session in the
city of Mexico, to make appropriations
to be expended in fortifying and mat-
tressing and riprapping the river bank
at all exposed points. lie says these
encroachments of the river, unless
speedily stopped, will cause a loss of
national wealth, irreparable loss to Paso
del Norte, and the financial ruin of
hundreds of families.
Apart from the international interests
involved, there are speculations of a
scientific nature suggested in the prem
ises which may be worth mentioning. It
appears that the western and south
western bank of the Rio Grande is the
one which suffers most from the abra
sion of the current. Why does the
river show this tendency to work to the
westward! Something like this appears
in the ease of the Mississippi. Former
ly the river had its principal debouch
ment into the sea through Bayou Man-
chac and the lakes. In the course of
time that route was abandoned for the
one now known as the main river, which
is very considerably to the westward of
the old outlet. In the meantime the
river has shown a disposition to trans
fer its channel still further to the west
ward through the Atchafalaya. Can it
be made to appear from these facts that
there is a tendency in great rivers [low
ing in general directions along meri
dians of the earth’s longitude to swerve
to the westward! Can it be held that
because of the rotation of the earth on
its axis to the eastward the weight of
the water in such longitudinal rivers is
thrown by the centrifugal force against
the western banks so as to abrade them
with increased energy and effect? The
matter is worth examination.
Noble Sentiment.
far one act of passionate wickedness,
than this daily dying of the heart-
sweet love slain by long-lived torture.
Better far to lose from earthly sight the
one we love than to see that one grow
unresponsive to noble emotions, uncom
prehending of truth in its simplicity, un
believing of spontaneous unselfishness
and disinterested generosity. Easier
far to forgive one rash act, some crown
ing deed of evil, to love through all,
t han live in forced companionship with
one in whom a ‘touch of baseness’ mars
all that we hold dear.”
The Speaker’s Power.
New York Herald.
It. is very little understood what
enormous power is wielded by the
Speaker of the House of Representa
tives. I was a party to a conversation
a few nights ago, in which a very prom
inent member of the House, speaking
of this, said: “The power that rests in
the hands of the Speaker exceeds in a
vast degree that of the President. With
him rests practically every action of the
committees. Tt is he who decides on
the men who shall speak, and the meas
ures they may speak upon, on the floor
of the House. The possible effect of
such an immeasurable power cannot be
estimated at the present time with such
a just man as Speaker Carlisle has
shown himself in tlie chair. But should
tin's power fall into the hands of an un
just or a venal man, the consequences
would be appalling. Put the gavel into
the hands of a corrupt man, and what
might be not do ? The formation of
the committees would be entirely un
der his cont rol. If he desireebthe pas
sage of a certain measure of vast na
tional importance, or if he desired such
a measure killed, knowing the senti
ments of the members of the House,
lie could so ‘stack’ the committee that
would eventually have it in charge as
to make the disposition of it which he
desired certain. As I said, the power
of the Speaker is much greater than
that of any other integer in the scheme
of our government.”
Mrs. Oliphant asks: “Is there any
shock, any pang that life can give,
equal to that of suddenly perceiving a
touch of baseness, a failure of honor,
a lower level of moral feeling, in those
who are most dear to us. W hen the
‘prepossessions of affection’ are thus
driven away, only the heart knows or
can know its bitterness. Ob, do not
wing this barbed arrow r at the bosom
of love!
“Is there other pain equal to this?
The ones most dear to us may disap
point our ambition, and they may not
have the beauty nor the brilliancy that
we covet for them, yet by their gentle
ness or nobility of character, by their
unselfishness or helpful kindness, make
it impossible for us not to love them.
The disappointment of ambition is
gradually dulled, the thing desired
grows less important in our eyes—what
if our dear one does not shine in the
eyes of the world, there remains the
conviction that the cherished heart, is
pure, and true to every noble sentiment.
From this there grows a better, more
enduring love than could come from
the mere gratification of our ambitions,
generous though they may be. But
that ‘touch of baseness’ in the one we
leve * 1 that trace of meanness! Better
The Test.
“Yes, darling,” he said in tones of
deep tenderness, “I would do anything
to show my love for you.”
“Ah!” sighed the gentle maiden,
“that’s wliat all men say when they are
striving to win a woman’s heart.”
“Put me to the proof,” lie exclaimed
in wild, passionate tones, “put me to
the proof; test me and see if I fail.
Set me any task within the bounds of
possibility and it shall be performed.”
“Ah !” she murmured, “if I could on
ly believe you !”
“Put me to the test. Say to me, do
this or do that, and it shall be done.”
“Ah,” he exclaimed, exultingly,
“you shall behold the height, the
depth, the length, the breadth, the
circumference of my love—what is the
test ?”
The maiden dropped her snowy lids
until the silken lashes rested on the
peach blossoms of her cheeks, a slight
smile dimpled the corners of her mouth,
and bending over the youth who knelt
at her feet she whispered:
“Marry some other girl !”

Ninety-five Miles an Hour.
Philadelphia Ledger.
All application has been filed by a
New York civil engineer for a patent
for a locomotive and tender designed
for making faster time than has ever
been made in this or any country. The
boiler is rectangular in shape, having a
large and permanent area of evapora
ting service, supported by a great ex
tent of heating surface, the pressure to
be carried being 210 pounds per inch,
which is .but one-third of the bursting-
pressure at its weakest points. The
cylinders are in the rear of instead of
between the truck wheels, and the fire
box is supported between the center of
gravity of the driving wheels. All the
combinations of parts are in perfect
harmony; and it is intended to easily
make the time of sixty miles an hour
with ten coaches, and can, without vio
lent strain, be brought to ninety-five
miles an hour, with the same load.
This gain in performance over the pres
ent machine is obtained by a mathe
matical conctruction with reference to
the distance between rail centers upon
which it is supported, and is the first ap
plication made that lias embraced and
specified every portion of a locomotive
and tender constructed mathematically
with reference to the limits within which
they must be confined and supported.
As a result of exact proportion with
reference to such base, the cost of main
tenance will be greatly below the gen
eral average of present constructions.
How Coffee is Grown.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat,*
The culture of coffee is the chief in
dustry of Venezuela, and a day lately
spent San Bernardino, a large coffee
estate, gave me a chance to learn some
thing of the matter. For this' culture
a rich, well watered soil is needed, with
plenty of shade, for the coffee is a deli
cate tree end cannot stand the direct
rays of the sun. Really, there is no
tree at all, only a scraggy buSli eight or
ten feet high, looking much like a ven
erable lilac. Early in March they are
white with blossoms, pretty star-sha] [
ed posies with a faint, delicious per
fume.
The plants grow only from seed,
which is planted just before the rainy
season, ninety trees to the acre. In
about five years a yield may be count
ed upon, and henceforth for an aver
age of thirty. There is gathered from
each tree some eight or ten pounds of
coffee annually. Every one raises cof
fee. Every one talks coffee. Every
one sells coffee, and not a living cook
in Venezuela appears to know how to
make a decent cup to drink. They
burn it jet blacs in open pans, serve it
as strong as lye and call it good. Aro
ma it has none, and I presume that the
delicate flavor of an American cup of
Java would be utterly unappreciated.
After picking, the beans are washed,
hulled and sorted into different quali
fies, put up in sacks of 130 pounds and
shipped.
A commercial tourist informs the

train was moving at a high rate of speed
when it ran on the high trestle bei ween

your remedy highly recommended, and pur
chased a bottle from Moncrief <fc Bro., Pres

this bottle he became so much better that I
got the second bottle, which is now being us

THE WORLD CHALLENGED.
To produce anything like an approach to our now justly celebrated Blood Remedy, B. B. B., we make bold to
claim the following special points of value and advantage over any other remedy on the market: 1. That it consists
of the most valuable remedies known to the medical profession. 2. That the combination of the remedies has never
been equaled in any medicine that has ever been known. 3. Its beneficial results can be felt sooner than by the use of
any other remedy. 4. It takes less quantity and less money to produce a cure than any other remedy. We are
willing for B. B. B. to stand on its own merits, and as our words are unnecessary in proving its efficiency as a blood
remedy, we simply invite a careful perusal of the following voluntary certificates from the thousands who have tried it.
They are eloquent tributes, and speak for themselves. To the skeptical, we would further say : Inquire of your
neighbor who lias tried our great remedy. Here are the certificates :
A REMARKABLE LETTER.
Down Two Years With Rheumatism
and Now Entirely' Well.
I have been troubled with rheumatism for
two years; had gotten so I could scarcely
walk, and was in pain nearly all the time. At
night could not sleep for the excruciating
pain. The bone in one of my legs was very
much enlarged, and I feared that amputation
would be necessary. After trying many dii-
ferent patent medicines claiming to cure
rheumatism and other complaints, I was al
most discouraged until about two weeks ago,
when I had to give up business, Mr. W. J.
Willingham, of your city, hearing of my com
plaint, advised ttie use of your medicine, and
assured me of his confidence in it its a cure
for rheumatism. I at once purchased a bot
tle, hoping it might relieve me, but not having
much faith in it, or in anything else; but,
thank God, I am very inucii relieved, and I
firmly believe I will get entirely well. The
swelling has gone down and I am in no pain
whatever. Am tit work again, ;yi<l have been
for several days. Can run up and down the
stairwav in factory as nimbly as ever. 1
thank you for this earthly salvation to me.

lias been done for me. I am yours, very

SHE HAD TRIED EVERYTHING ELSE.
Clover Bottom, Sullivan County Tenn.,
June 20, 1887.—Blood Balm Co. Atlanta, Ga.—
Sir: I have been thinking of writing to you
for some time to let you know of the wonder
ful cure your B. B. li. has effected on myself
and daughter. She, a girl of IG years, was
taken with a very sore leg below the knee. I
used aoout 30 bottles of other medicine to no
purpose. The doctors said the only remedy
left was amputation. That we all were op
posed to. I was in Knoxville the 8th of Jan
uary, 1887, ami while buying a bill of drugs
called for a good blood purifier, and Messrs.
Sanford, Chamberland & Co. recommended
the B. B. B. I purchased one-half dozen bot
tles, and, to my utter surprise, after using
three or four bottles, my girl’s leg was entire
ly well. I alsri had a very ugly running sore
on the calf ol my leg and one bottle cured it,
after trying all other remedies. I wish you
much success, and I do hope that all suffering
humanity may hear and believe in the only
true blood purifier. I have tried three or four
blood purifiers, but the B.B.B. is the only one
that ever did me or mine any good. You can
use my name if you wish. I am well known
in this and Washington county, also all over
Virginia. R. S. Elsom.
BLOOM TAINT FROM BIRTH.
Booneville, Ind., January 27, 1887.
I shall ever praise the day that you gentle
men were born, and shall b ess the day I hat
your medicine was known to me. I had blood
poison from birth, and so much so that all
the doctors of iny town said I would be crip
pled for life. They said I would lose my low
er limb. I could not stand in my class to re
cite my lessons, and eleven bottles of your
Balm cured me sound and well. You can use
my name as you see fit. In mv case there
were knots on my shinbones as large as a
hen’s egg. Yours, Mirtle Tanner.
A GOOD EXPERIMENT.
Meridian, Miss., July 12. 1887.
For a number of years I have suffered'un
told agonies from the effects of blood poison.
I had my case treated by several prominent
physicians, and recivedbut little, if any relief.
I resorted to all sorts of patent medicines,
spending:.! large amount ot money but getting
no better. My attention was attracted by the
cures said to have been effected by B. E. B.,
and I began taking it merely as a experiment,
having but little faith in the ultimate results.
To my utter surprise I soon commenced to
improve, and deem myself to-day a well and
hearty man—all owing to the excellent qual
ifies of B. B. B. I cannot commend it too
highly (o those suffering from blood poison.

I have been a practical druggist In Tyler for
a number of years, and in that ti me have had
occasion to examine, try, and notice the effect
of nearly all the highly recommended prepar-
ationsor patent medic nes on the market, as
I h ive suffered untold misery myself, the past
number of years, from a severe form of in
flammatory rheumatism, and could find
nothing to cure or relieve me. I had almost
drawn a conclusion that all patent medicines
were more or less frauds until about one year
ago, I was induced by a friend now living in
Tyler to try a preparation known as 3 B., or
botanic Blood Balm, and after a long per
suasion on his part, 1 finally made up my
mind to make one more effort to rid myself
of the terrible, affliction; and now it affords
me the greatest pleasure of my liie to state to
the citizehs of Smith county that I am entire
ly cured. with no traces of the disease leit,
and all effected by the magic healing proper
ties of B. B. B., which I consider the grand
est, purest, and most powerful blood remedy .
known to man. I have been subject to in
flammatory attacks since ten years of age,
and up to the present time have had four.
The last spell came on me in November, 13So,
over a year ago, at which ■ ime I was confined
to n? v bed for eight weeks, passing the nights
in misery, with no sleep except when produc
ed by narcotics and various opiates. The
week previous to using B. B. B. up to that
time 1 had onlv eaten six meals and eonld
scarcely sit upVithout support: but after us-
j n o three bottles I was able to relish my
meals and to walk up town, and after six bot
tles had been used, thank heaven, I was en-
tirely cured, and not the slightest pain felt
since that time. When I returned to business
in February my weight was 145 pounds, but
°raduallv increased until my regular weight
was a°-ai'ii attained. 210 pounds. The noticea
ble fact in what I have so cheerfully stated is,
that this unparalleled and remarkable dis-
coverv B. B. B. cured me in mid-winter, at
the very time my sufferings and misery were
the. greatest. I lake it on myself as a practi
cal druggist to heartily, cheerfully, as well a-
conscientiously, recommend this glorious
blood remedv to all sufferers from rheuma
tism or blood troubles, and not only myself,
but the firm of McKay a- Adams, who handle
it v. ill clieenully indorse its superior merits,

A lady friend of mine has for several years I
been troubled with bumps and | imples on her
face and neck, for which she used various
cosmetics in order to remove theffi and beau
tify and improve her complexion; but these
local application were only temporary and
left her skin in a worse condition.
I recommended an internal application-
known as Botanic Blood Balm—which I have
been using and selring about two years; she
usee three bottles and nearly all pimples
have disappeared, her skin is soft and smooth
and her general health much improved. She
expresses herself as well satisfied and can
recommend it to all who are thus affected, '

‘I GAVE UP TO DIE.
Knoxville, Tenn., July 2, 1887.
I have had catarrh of the head for nearly
mx years. I went to a noted doctor and he
treated me for it, hut could not cure me, he
said. I was over fifty years of age and I gave
up to die. I had a distressing cough; my
eyes were swollen and I am confident I could
not have lived without a change. I sent and
got a bottle of your medicine, used it, and
felt better. Then I got four more, and thank
God! it cured me. Use this any way you
may wish for the good of sufferers.

Company, Atlanta, Ga.—Gentlemen : I had
suffered from that terrible disease, dyspepsia
for over fifteen years, and during that
time tried everything I could hear of, and
spent over three hundred dollars in doctor’s
bills, without receiving the slightest-benefit,
Indeed. I continued to grow worse. Finally,
after I despaired of obtaining relief, a friend
recommended B. B. B., (Botanic Blood Balm;
and I began usingit; not, however, expecting
to be benefited. After using half a bottle I
was satisfied I was being benefited, and when
the sLxth bottle was used I felt like a new
man. I would not take $1,000 for the good it
has done me; in fact, the relief that 1 derived
from it is priceless. I firmly believe I would
have died had I not taken it.
Respectfully, THOMAS PAULK.
