BRITISH AMERICA.
Annexation Considered from a Dominion
Point of View—Extent of Territory.
[Canadian Cor. Brooklyn Eagle.]
The possession of Canada would give you
3,500,000 square miles of additional territory
and 5,000,000 of people. Os course, much of
this territory is worthless, but that is the
case with every country of large size, not
excepting the United States. The area of
agricultural and timbered lands of the
Dominion is estimated at 3,000,000 square
miles, which is more than the area of all
Europe, exclusive of Russia. Os this up
ward of 1,000,000, square miles is capable of
the successful cultivation of wheat, twenty
times the area of the state of Now York.
Canada is now divided into seven prov
inces and five territories, and every one of
its divisions would form a state of the Union
in the future. Prince Edward island, the
smallest division, is a little larger than the
state of Delaware and has nearly as many
inhabitants. It does not contain a single
acre of waste land and is in the midst of the
finest fisheries in the world. Nova Scotia
has an area more than twice the sizo of
Massachusetts, but only 440,000 inhabitants,
yet nature has made it another north of
England in respect to mineral wealth. It
has an unlimited wealth of iron and coal,
and nothing can prevent it from becoming a
great center of manufactures. New Bruns
with a population equal to that of Vermont,
has three times the area of that state and
far greater resources.
The province of Quebec is larger than any
state in the Union except Texas, and has
nearly 1,500,000 people. Like New Bruns
wick, it has magnificent forests and a large
area of arable land. Ontario, with its 2,000,-
000 of inhabitants, would become the sixth
state of the U nion in population and its area,
even without the new territory recently
awarded to it, as large as New York and
Pennsylvania combined. There is not in all
America a finer region than the peninsula
of Ontario, lying between Georgia bay,
Lake Ontario, Lake Huron and Lake Erie.
The climate is mild, the soil fertile, and
everything for the sustenance of man is
there in abundance.
Manitoba and the northwest territories
have between them 800,000,000 acres of
prairie land equal to the best in the north
west of the United States, and possess also
what is not less valuable, unlimited quanti
ties of coal. British Columbia has also
splendid coal mines, beside gold, silver and
other mineral wealth and a considerable
area of good land. As to the possibilities in
volved in the future development of that
vast region north of Manitoba no one can
speak with certainty, but in the Peace River
country and the territory along the Macken
zie river there is room for a state of im
perial dimensions and the latter river is
worthy to be the northern gate of an em
pire, for it contains water enough to float a
line of battle ship for a distance of 1,200
miles.
The Tail and Muscles of the Whale.
i [Longman's Magazine.]
The power of this tremendous propulsory
apparatus is almost beyond conception. The
weight of a full-grown whale may be appre
ciated when the reader reflects that the
famous elephant “Jumbo” would have to be
multiplied many times before his weight
would equal that of a large whale. Yet the
late Capt. Scott, royal navy, told me that
when on the quarter-deck of his own ship he
repeatedly saw the whales leaping in mere
play so high out of the water that the hori
zon was clearly visible under them. Now,
Capt. Scott lived to be nearly 100 years old,
and when he was in active service the
quarter-deck of a man-of-war was at least
thirty feet above tho water, add to thii
measurement his own height (he being
rather a tall man), and the reader can then
appreciate the terrible power of the animal’s
tail
I may here mention that this habit of
springing out of the water is called “breach
ing” by whalers. Besides the great muscu
lar apparatus which has just been men
tioned, the whale possesses another muscle
which surrounds the body; it is scientifically
and happily called the “panniculus care
nosis”—or “fleshy rag”—and is developed in
■various ways, according to the animal. It
is with this muscle that the dog shakes his
skin when he comes out of the water. The
hedge hog has it very powerfully developed
in order to enable it to coil itself into the
spiky ball with which we are so familiar.
The manis, armadillo, and echindna also pos
sess it and usa it for a very similar pur
pose. Man has but very little of it, the
Chief vestiges being the muscles of the face,
which give to the human countenance its
changing expressions.
The whale wants it for two purposes.
He wants it to enable him to bend his body
—a function easily observed in the dolphins
as they curve their graceful course through
the sea; but chiefly he needs it because by
contracting it he can make his body heav
ier than a corresponding bulk of water.
This he has no difficulty in doing, and when
he wishes to seek the surface he has only to
relax the pressure, when the body regains its
original size and becomes lighter than tl e
proportional bulk of water. By means of
this same muscle the hippopotamus, the ele
phant and the seal sink themselves below tie
surface and rise again without m ving a
limb. For want of it man cannot perform
this feat, and the best swimmers in the
world are not able to sink and rise to the
surface without moving hand or foot.
Daniel Webster's Fees.
[Worcester Spy. I
It is of interest to note the fees which
Daniel Webster received for his services.
For many years he kept a regular account
of his professional receipts, and for two of
those years the accounts have been pub
lished. In the first of the two, when he was
About 37 years of age, his receipts, omitting
“several small affairs,” amounted to $15,181.
The number of items, mostly against dif
ferent clients, was 129. The largest charge
was $2,000. There were twenty-four re
tainers in the year, amounting in the aggre
gate to $1,310. The largest was a “retainer
in patent cas.s” of $150; but most of the re
tainers were of SIOO and SSO.
The second published account covered the
years 1832-'33, when Webster was 50 years
old. The amount of receipts for this year
was $8,212, but out of this is to be deducted
$992 as “congressional pay.” This leaves
for his professional receipts $7,220. The
largest fee this year was S6)O. There were
only forty-four items, and of these eighteen
were retainers, amounting to $2,330. One
of them was SIOO for “Dr. N >tt’s patent
cases.” “A very poor year’s work,” say«
Webster. “Nullification kept ma out of the
supreme court, till the lust winter.”

Narrow Escape.
♦ • * Rochester. June 1.1882 ..Ten
Years ago Iwas attacked with the most
Intense and deathly palnes in my back and
—Kidneys.
~Extending to the end of my toes and to
my brain!
“ Which made me delirious!
•‘From agony!!!
‘ It took three men to hold me on my bed
at times.
“The Doctors tried In vain to relieve me,
but to no purpose.
Morphine and other opiates!
“Had no effect!
“After two months I was given up to die!!
“When my wife
heard a neighbor tell what Hop Bitters bad
done for her, she at once got and gave me
some. The first dose eased my brain and
seemed to go hunting through my system for
the pain.
The second dose eased me so much that I
slept two hours, somethlngl had not done for
two months. Before I had used live bottles,
I was well, and at work as hard as any man
could for over three weeks; but I worked too
hard for my strength, and taking cold, I was
taken with the most acute and plalnfnl rheu
matism all through my system that ever was
known.
I called the doctors again, and after several
weeks they left me a cripple, on crutches for
life, as they said. I met a friendand told him
my case, and he said Hop. Bitters had cured
him and would cure me. I poohed at him,
but he was so earnest I was induced to use
them again.
In less than four weeks I threw away my
crutches and went to work lightly, and kept
on using the bitters for five weeks, until I
became as well as any man living, and have
been so for six years since.
It has also cured my wife, who had been
sick for years; and has kept her and my chil
dren well and healthy with from two to three
bottles per year. There is no need to be sick
at all If these bitters are used.

Hops on the white label. Shun all the vile,
poisonous stuff with “Hop” or “Hops ’ in
their name.
A Card from Cuthbert.
This is to certify that I used Dr. Mozley’s
Lemon Elixir for neuralgia of the head and
eyes with the most marked benefits to my
general health. I would gladly have paid SSOO
for the relief it has given me at a cost of two
dollars. „ . _

From North Georgia.
Mrs. N. A. McEntire writes from Spring
Place: For many years I have been a great
sufterer from indigestion, sick headaches and
nervous prostration caused from biliousness
and constipation. I tried many remedies, but
got no permanent relief until 1 used Dr. Moz-
Ley’s Lemon Elixir. I am now in better health
than for many years. My daughter has been
subject to chills and fever from her infancy.
I could get nothing to relieve her: the Lemon
Elixir has restored her to perfect health.
W. A. James, Bell station, Ala., writes : I
have suffered greatly from indigestion or
dyspepsia. One bottle of Lemon Elixir done
me more good than all the medicine I ever
taken. 50 cents and $1 per bottle.
A Prominent Minister Writes:
De. Mozley—Dear Sir: After ten years of
great suffering from indigestion or dyspepsia
with great nervous prostration and bilious
ness, disordered kidneys and constipation, 1
have been cured by four bottles of your Lemon
Elixir, and am now a well man.

A Disabling Disease.
No disease which does not confine a man
to his bed so completely unfits him for busi
ness as dyspepsia. When the stomach is
foul, the brain is always muddy and con
fused, and as the cares and anxieties of life
are a sufficient burden for the organs of
thought to bear, without being tormented
by the miseries born of indigestion, it is
highly desirable for the brain’s sake, as well
as for the sake of every other portion of the
system, that the disordered stomach should
be restored with the utmost dispatch to a
healthy, vigorous condition. This object can
biways be accomplished by a course of Hos
tetter’s Stomach Bitters, the purest and
best of vegetable specifics, which evacuates
the morbid humors through the bowels,
rouses and tones the torpid stomach and
regulates the liver, imparts firmness to the
nerves and clears the sensonum of its men
tal cobwebs. Persons subject to attacks ol
indigestion, billions headache, irregularity
of the bowels, sickness of the stomach, or
“the blues,” should rake the Bitters once or
twice a day throughout the present season.

“I have, sir, great faith in Dr. David Ken
nedy’s “Favorite Remedy,” said H. S. Bene
dict’ of Troy, N. Y. “I suffered all my life
from dyspepsia and biliousness, and found no
relief until I tried ‘Favorite Remedy.’ One
bottle made me feel strong, and now I am
well. I consider it the best blood remedy in
he market.”

Mr. Alfred Speer, of Passaic, N. J., having
noted the want of a strictly pure and first
class wine, has for the past 25 years devoted
his time and immense capital to raising the
Oporto grape, with the view to supplying
this want, that he has been eminently suc
cessful, the endorsements which his Port
Grape Wine has received will testify.
