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 !” A WORD IN SEASON.

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 Anniston Watchman that as he was coming over from Atlanta a lew days since, an old lady boarded the train at Tallapoosa and occupied a seat near him, and from her actions was expe riencing her first ride on the cars. The train was moving at a high rate of speed when it ran on the high trestle bei ween Anniston and that place, where it seem ed as if the train was suspended in mid air. The old lady convulsively grasp ed the seat and held her bi’eath until the other side of the chasm was reach ed, when she gave a deep sigh of relief and exclaimed; “Thank God, she’s lit!” Save the Children.

In about one month, after using this bottle he became so much better that I got the second bottle, which is now being us ed, and my son is nearly well, and 1 think by removing him to a cooler summer climate (which I will do) and continuing its use, a perfect cure will he effected.

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.

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 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, John m.
