This medicine is an Alterative, and causes a radical change in the system. The process, in some cases, may :not be quite so rapid as in others ; hut, with persistence, the result Is certain. Read these testimonials : " For two years T suffered from a se vere pain in my rfcht side, and had other troubles caused by a torpid liver and dyspepsia. After Riving several medicines a fair trial -without a cure, I began to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I was greatlybenefited by the first hottle, and after taking five bottles I was com pletely cured." John W. Benson, 70 Lawrence St., Lowell, Mass. Last May a large carbuncle broke out on my arm. The usual remedies had no effect and I was confined to my bed for eight weeks. A friend induced me to-try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Less than three bottles healed the sore. In all my expe rience with medicine, I never saw inonv Wonderful Results. Another marked-effect of the use of this medicine was the strengthening of my .si!ht." Mrs. Carrie Adams, Holly Springs. Texas. . .. " I had a dry scaly humor for yearSiT nnd suffered terribly; and. as my broth er and sister were similarly afflicted, I presume the malady is hereditary. Last winter, Dr. Tyron, (of Fernandina, Fla.,) recommended me to take Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and continue it for a year. For five months I took it daily. I have not had a blemish upon inv body for the last three months." T. E. Wiley, 146 Chambers St., New York City. " Last fall and winter I was troubled with a dull, heavy pain in my side. 5 did not notice it much at first, but it gradually grew worse until it became' almost unbearable. During tho latter part of this time, disorders of the stom,; ach and liVer increased my troubles. I began taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and, after faithfully 'continuing tho use oj this medicine for Some months, thojiaiq disappeared" and I was completely cured." Mrs. Augusta A.

Important History Pound in The Newspapera. Professor H.B.; Adams, of Johns Hop kins university, has vindicated his repu tation for intelligent practicability by a notable departure from he beaten track of the ordinary class lectures on history. Speaking on "'The Heroes of Our Own JTimes" he acknowledges that he had crawn nis materials entirety lruiu lue daily papers,. and confessed bis surprise at finding howmnch really valuable mat ter might be gathered as driftwood from the passing newspaper stream. The morning telegrams as read at the breakfast table showed that the heroic age was by no means past. One no sooner decided that the days of chivalry were gone than tho news papers were all aflame with the glory of some heroio human deed, which, like a splendid meteor or some brilliant auroral light,vfilled ths whole land with admiration. Daniel Periton galloping down tho Conemaugh valley with the news that tho dam had burst, and the young woman -operator, staying at her post in the telegraph tower until the flood washed everything away, were notable instances of the heroic in com mon life. If any one doubted the force of Charles Reade'a remark that not a day passes, but men' and women of no note do great deeds, speak reat -words and suffer noble sorrows, he had onlv to 'think of Captain Murell of the steam ship Missouri rescuing a whole ship load of human beings from certain death in mid-ocean; of the Trenton's crew cheering the British ship Calliope as she steamed out of the harbor of Apia, or of Father Damion"ahntting himself up to die among the detested lepers on the island of Molokai. The Trenton's cheer proved that so long as American sailors live, nobody need despair for the Ameri can navy or the American republic, and as to the sublime self-sacrifice of the lep er priest, there was nothing in all the lives of the saipts and martyrs to com pare'withit.iHia examplo had gone oat mto-allthe -earh, and thousands had learned from it to recognize the spirit of genuine Christian charity in other ec clesiastical forms than their own, and at 'the same time to do their own work more unselfishly, and with a proper love foronr common humanity. Of special interest to Chantauquans was the forma tion by followers of Arnold Toynbee of college settlements nt Wbitechapel, for educating tho London poor, and the kindred movement begun by Stanton Colt at Forsyth' street, New -York, and copied in the branoh at llivington street, to be opened on October 1st. In the Middle Ages the Christian ideal was one of faith;, uttheiimeof Luther it was one of hope; but tnejdeal. of to-day was the higher deal of bjj&rify, which, governed the wholes phia3Qpby of inod.ernlierOK 'A'Tounff Speculator. Little .Johunv Dorian,, who Uvea nt Riveraidef New Jersey, -yesterday -owned a newBtrawhatr"thm8 and aetiny, worn by current use to silvery bright ness. He tied the hat to a ooat button, because a light breeze was ruffling tho surface of the Passaic river, and went down to the Erie railroad to watch the trains passing. He had not wholly de cided what use to make of the dime, but he knew very we) h'QW tQ pat the cent where it wcrala "do tlje most good. He was acquainted with a boy who was will in? to pay twooeqta for the coin if it was flattened under the wheels of a train of cars, and J6hnny, who is only nine years of age, but has the financier ing spirit of Jay Qoqld, intended to in vest his penny so as to realize cent for cent proht. He reached a spot where there was nobody to interfere with hia speculation. An afternoon train on its way to Jersey City, and not more than 200 yards dis tant, was running at high speed. Has tily selecting a 'coin he placed it on the rail. The train wfts very close to the spot -where he -was standing when he uisoovereu iuai ns qaa iuaao n munaer. The bennv was still in his Docket, and the conclusion was unavoidable that the dime was still in front of the loco motive. Johnny rushed 'forward, It was an uwiuiiy uuuKeruuM imu iu uu, uui, uu was not a boy to hesitate when ton cents were nt stake. An incautious step pros trated him, and the wind ironi the whirl ing train tore his hat from its fastening. carried it under the wheels, and it was seen no more. His head could not have been more than, twelve inches from the cars as they swept-'past. The-dime 'was not found. It had either been ground out of recognition or it bad stuck fast to one of the wheels. "So you lost ten cents and vour bat bv your folly?" said a friend of the tyoy's father when he heard the story later n the day. "Oh, iq," replied Jqhnny, weeping. "I lost nine cents and the hat. I flattened the penny under-the next train and sold it ior.twoicentB.TJ:r2V. p. Sun.

B. Mnrre. ex-conntv surveyor, who has traveled extensively with Maior John B. Brockenbrough, special agent D. S. general land office in the canacitv of surveyor, gives the following as to the quantity and different varieties of timber growing within the borders of this state as seen by him during his visits. The hr, larch, cedar, spruce, and some white pine are found in that portion of the state lying west of the sumit of the Cascade mountains. "While the sugar, bull, and yellow pine is only found in that portion of the state lying south of the Ctdipooia mountains nnd east of the Cascades. Although there is some white nine timber within th9 corner of this state equal in quality to that of the Michigan pine, yet there is only one location with in this state where the samo grows to any extent, and that is in the Cascade mountains. The amount of fir timber that is suita ble for lumber is really overestimated, and only those who have made a thor ough and personal examinat'oa are aware of the fact, and are taking advantago of their knowledge. bpruce timber grows more extcnsivelv in Tillamook and Clatsop counties than in any other part of the state. As for cedar, it grows extensively in all parts of the state west of the summit of the Cas cade mountains, and especially west of the Coast range of mountains in Coos cbunty, (where grows tho variety known as the Port Orford cedar) although the northwestern part of the state produces a large quantity, a uinerent variety of an inferior nature. Larch timber grows in more abun dance and of a better quality in the Cas cade mountains than any other part of the stato, but is only in extensive tracts a few locations. Sugar pine timber is not as plentiful as the yellow pine, being confined principally to that part of the state in the vicinity of Grant's Pass, on the Oregon &California railroal. and also to some extent in tho Blue moun tains. The yellow and bull pine grows oxteiiaiveli;iti tbo southern and the south eastern part of the state. Nine-tenths of tho timber land thus far filed upou have been taken up for eastern men, who know the value of timber and its soarcity in tho east, mid are astonished when they arrive here to find it not to bo a fact that Oregon's timber is inexhaustible, as thoy have been informed.
