Sarsaparilla
Is widely known
as one of the most
effectual reme

anrl TmrifVinnr triA
jf blood. It "has
itlEfif stood die. test of
years, witn a con
stantly sTowin
reputation, based on its intrinsic virtues,
and sustained by its remarkable cures.
So mild as to be safe and beneficial to
children, and yet so searching as to
effectually purge cut the great corrup
tions of the blood, such as the scrof
ulous and syphilitic contamination.
Imparities or diseases that hare lurked
in the system for years soon yield to
this powerful antidote, and disappear.
Hence its wonderful cures, many of
which are publicly known, of Scrolula,
and all scrofulous diseases, Ulcers,
Eruptions, and eruptive disorders of
the skin. Tumors, Blotches, Boils,
Pimples, Pustules, Sores, St.
Anthony's Fire, liose or Ery
sipelas, Tetter. Salt Klieum,
Scald Head, King-worm, and in
ternal Ulcerations of the Uterus,
Stomach, and Liver. It also cures
other complaints, to which it would not
seem especially adapted, such as Drop
By, Dyspepsia, Pits, Neuralgia,
Heart Disease, Female Weak
ness, Dehility, and Leiicorrhoea,
when they are manifestations of the
scrofulous poisons.
It is an excellent restorer of health
and strength in the Spring. By renew
ing the appetite and vigor cf the diges
tive organs, it dissipates the depression
and listless languor of the season.
Even where no disorder appears, people
feel better, and live longer, for cleansing
the blood. The system moves on with
renewed rigor and a new lease of life.

The lame can be healed and the wonnded made

or rwre Cancer, tat they will extract soreness, allay

Nr. Josish Wcstake, of Marysvilla, ()., writes:
"For years my Kheuroctism has lieen so had that
I have been nnabie to stir from the house. The
first three bottles of Centaur Uuiinent euahled
to wnlk wtthont my crntchea. I am mending

C. U. Bennett, Proggist, Rock Prairie, Mo., says:
Oatanr Liniment sells better and eives the best

What the Centaur Liniment lias done for others
it will do for you. It ! handy, it is reliable, and

Castoria.
It is a mistake to suppose that Castoria is not
adapted to grown persons as well as children.
They only need to Increase the quantity. But chil
dren have so many complaints for which Castoria
is adapted like Wind Cvlie, Sour Stomach, Worms,
Tetter, Teething and Croup, that it is especially
recommended for them.
Its effects are more certain than Cantor Oil. It
contains no alcohol and Is as pleamnt to late as
honey. It never gripes. By regulating the stomach
and bowels tbe Castoria cool the blood, expels
aud prevents fevei ishness, quiets the nerves and
produces health then of course children can Uep
iu quiet and mother can ret.
CaMoria is recommended by all physicians and
Burses who have tried it, and it is having a rapidly
increarlng sale. It is prepared with great care after
the recipe of Dr. Samuel Pitcher, of Mass- at tbe
Laboratory of J. B. Rose Co., 46 Dey Street,

Mystery Solved.
The Secrtt of tho Wonderful
SUCCESS OF VEQETINE.
It strikes at the root of disease by purifying tbe
blood, restoring the liver aud kidnevs to healthv
action, invigorating the nervous system.
Reliable Evidence
Mr. H. R. Stevens:
Dear Sir I will most cheerfully add ray testimony
to the great number you have already "received iii
favor of your great and good medicine, Veoetine,
for I do not think enough can he said in its praise,
for I was troubled over thirty years with that
dreadful disease. Cstarrh, aud "had sn-:h had
coughing sjiells that it would seem as thongh I
could never breathe any more, and Veoetine has
cured me; and 1 do feel to tliai:k God all tbe time
there is so good a medicine as Veoetine, aud I
also think it one of the best medicines for coughs
and week sinking feelings at the stomach, and ad
vise everybody to take the Veoetine, for I can as
sure them that it is one of the best medicines that
ever was. MRS. L. GOKK,
Corner JI agazlne and Walnut Streets,
Cambtidge, Mass.
Thousands Speak.
Veoetine is acknowledged and recommended by
phyt-kians aud apothecaries to he the best purifier
ami cleanser of the blood yet discovered, ami thou
sands speak to its praise who have Iteeu restored to
health.
Report from a Practical Chemist
and Apothecary.
Boptos. .Tan. 1, 1874.
Pt-nr Sip This Is to certify that I hare sold at
retail IM'a dozen (162 bottles) of yonr Veoetine
since April 12. 1870. and can trnly say that it has
jriven the best satisfaction of any remedy for the
complaints for which if is recommended that 1 ever
sold. Scarcely a day passe without some of my
enstomers testifying to its merits on themselves or
their friends. Iam perfectly cognizaut of several
cases of scrofttlons Tumors being cured by Veoe
tine alone in this vicinity.

System.
HONEST OPINION.
Mr. H. R. Stevens:
Hear Sir This is to show that my son was taken
sick in January, lf4, with Scrofu'la. which came
out in large sores and ulcers on his leg and hip.
H is leg was ."veiled more thsn twice its natural
size, lie had several doctors of high standing in
their profusion two from Boston ami three trom
Charlestowa without getting a bit better. He was
obliged to lie wherever he was placed, for he had
no use of his limbs whatever. When we had given
no sll hoies of his living we were told to try Veoe
tine, the great blood remedy; and he had taken
it hut a short time before we could see a great
change. The sores ran mi had that we had to
change the clothe four or five times a dsy. Still,
he was getting better ; for be could move hislimhs
and help bim-elt a liltle. He was soon able to sit
up in lied, snd, by constant nse of Veoetine, it
has cured h. He ha i lame leg, which he will
probably have for life; bnt we all honestly lielieve,
if we had used Veoetine hefore we had'hothered
with thoee doctors, it would have saved the ne of
his leg. and restored It to natural health. I hojie
all those trotiMii with Scrofula will read this tes
timony of me aud my son, who is now well aud
able to spcuk for himself.

The above plain but honest statement conclusive
ly shows tbe quick and thorough cleansing effects
of the Veoetine in Scrofula.
Veoetine is acknowleged hv all classes of peo-
i pie to be the best and most reliable hlotri purifier

Narrow Gauge Railroads.
For the information of our readers
we copy the following information
from a letter to the Cincinnati Gaz
ette. It gives many facts of interest
concerning the economy of the nar
row gauge system of railroads.
To introduce our subject, all gaug
es have so far been experimental,
there is, I believe, no known rule
fivinrr Ho Tii"?tl Vininraan -e rn,1a
but the following facts will ad.
mitted, first, that every
inch added
to the width of the track ' over what
is absolutly necessary for traffic adds
to the cost of construction, increases
the proportion of dead weight, or
non-paying tonnage, increases the
operating expenses, consequently in-
creases the tinns to the . people.
These facts being admitted, we have
other interesting facts that have dem
monstrated on more than 3,000 miles
of the narrow gange railways now
the United States and Canadas.
They are, that less capital is required
steeper grades and sharper curves
are admissible; that the non-paying
tonnage is greatly reduced, that the
.capacity is equal to that of any gauge;
that even the break of gauge between;
the wide and narrow, necessitating
the transfer of freight and passen
gers, is less than the extra cost cf
transportation over the . common
gauge.
The difference in cost of construc
tion has been misstated. It is not
simply a prism between the rails of
the difference of gauge only, but,
in addition to that quantity, it is the
difference in location. As the mod
ern gauge can nse sharper curvt 8
say as high as fifteen or twenty de
grees with safety, its line wonld be
located where the wider gauge could
not, as engineers usually avoid curves
of over six degrees on the
common roads. Here there is
great saving in construction, as the
modern gauge is more flexible,
hence can avoid heavy cuts and fills
by change of location. Add to this
the ability of the narrow gauge to nse
steeper grades, because the dead
weight being so much reduced, their
train will be less in weight. But to
illustrate, a train of 200 tons of
freight on the common roads requires
twenty cars, weighing ten tons
each, making the total weight of cars
nnd freight equal to 400 tons. As
the narrow-gange cars weigh only
four tons, and carry eight tons, (as
done daily on the Cairo & St. Louis
road) it would require twenty-five
cars, weighing in the aggregate 100
tons, to carry the 200 tons of freight,
making the train on the narrow
gauge. It can, if necessary, use
steeper grades.
The next item of cost is that of
cross ties. The common gauge ties
are usually 6 by 8 inches, by 8 1-2
feet long, containing about 35 feet
board measure. The ties of mod
ern gauges are 5 by 7 inches, by 5
feet long, containing 17.5 feet board
measure. Here there is a reduction
of one-half. The rails of the com
mon roads usually weigh 60 pounds
per yard. The rails used on the
narrow gauge weigh from 30 to 40
pounds per yard. usually 35 pounds
per yard. Here, again, is a large
reduction in the cost of construct
ion over that of the common gauge.
In the same ratio the cars, locomo
tives, and fixtures cost less, redu
cing the average cost of the narrow
gauge roads, fully equipped, to from
19,000 to 25,000 per mile, while
that of common gauge averages from
45,000 to 90,000 per mile. The
new system the people can build and
own and be no poorer, the other sys
tem (4 10-100) has so far paid no re
turns (in general terms) to the people
on tneir investment, inattne common-gauge
roads have been and are
now, of great value to our conn try; that
they are doing the business of the
country at less rates than they can
afiord, no one will deny. But the
question now to be solved i3 this,
can the new gauge serve the same
purpose, viz: that of carrying passen
gers and freight as quickly, as cheap
ly, and as safely, at less rates in
proportion to tbe cost of construct
ing the two gauges? Shonld we find
nothing gained by the wide over the
narrow gange, then we shall claim
that the modern gauge is the gauge
to adopt More railroads will be
built, but no more money should be
expended than is absolutely necessa-

We left St Ionis, Jan. 19th, at 10,
A. SL, in company with over a hun
dred and fifty other excursionists for
Texas.
Richard Couch, of Pana, Els., was
in charge ot the excursion party,
which was composed of persons, a
few ladies among the number, from
Nork, Ohio, IUs, Ind and oth
er States.'; Fare from St Louis to
Galveston nd return, with forty
days to go upon, thirty-two dollars
and to other points in Texas at pro
portionally low rates.
Our route was via Iron Moun
tain, Mo., Little Rock, Ark., enter
ing TexaaaVJexarcana, (Texas iind
Arkansas line) and ia called the Iron
Mountain route. The ride was a
pleasant one, or would have -been
under ordinary circumstances, but
the terrible rains of the day or two
previous had done much damage- to
the road, and wo were delayed very
much, not reaching Galveston until
midnight Friday, 21st distance from
St. Louis 875 miles.
Iron Mountain is the greatest
natural deposit of iron ore in the
world. Its yield per day now ia said
to be over one" hundred car loads,
and the quality is superior.
- lrom iron Mountain sontn, we
saw but little good farming land, in
fact it is very poor except an occa
sional tract, of moderate quality.
Mile after mile, nothing can be seen
but low lands, covered with a low
growth of oak and pine, with some
hoUV and sweet-gum. Upon some
uplands the pine reaches a good size,
and is valuable for building purposes.
For miles- we saw little or no land,
as the whole country was a sheet of
water. The fall is so little that after
a heavy rain, such as had just fallen,
the country is like a lake. In this
low, wet country, the mors hangs
upon the trees in beautiful gray
or green colors, sometimes reclining
downward five feet antl far surpass
ing my power to describe it .
' Little Rock, the capital of Arkan
sas, (gernally pronounced "Arkan
saw") about three hundred miles
from St Louis, ia situated in a mod
erately good country, the soil gener
ally a dark red. Some corn, and
considerable cotton is raised through
the eorintry between Little Rock and
Texarcana. An average cotton crop
upon the uplands is half a bale, on
low, black lands, about a bale. Cot
ton sells along the road at from 9 to
11 cts. per lb., and certainly is not
a very money-making business in
that part of tbe country, as it takes
about seven hands to work a field of
cotton that one would work in corn.
The improvements are poor.
Nearly all the houses, dwellings and
stores, are one story, always frame or
log. The store buildiDgs are inferior
in style, having a plain square front
built from eighteen to twenty inches
off the ground npon posts, and left
open. Many of them have porches
without floors.
The traveling is done upon horses
or on foot; no buggies or carriages,
and few wagons are to be seen.
Cattle are of a "scrub" order, and
the hogs have noses as long in pro
portion as the horns of the cattle.

Jan. 20, 1876. N. T. AYRES.
Corpus Christi, Tex., Feb. 1876.
At 4 P. M. Jan. 22d, we left Gal
veston on the steamer Clinton, of the
Morgan Star line, for Indianola, dis
tance 250 miles. The trip was a
very pleasant one, and although it
was our first upon salt water we es
caped the sea-sickness usually ex
perienced by '"land lubbers."
Most persons have to endure this
sickness, at least upon their first trip,
some often, and we are tcld of a sea
captain of 40 years, who experienced
it at tho beginning of every trip.
When one becomes sick enough to
"throw np" freely, he gets all right
again, and is generally very much
benefited by the sickness.
Arrived at Indianola Sunday morn
ing at 9 o'clock, and took a walk
through the wreck of th3 once beau
tiful town. You doubtless remem
ber how last September the winds
blew for two or three days from the
Gulf, carrying the water over the
whole town, in places to the depth
of ten feet and how 300 lives and
thousands of dollars worth of prop
erty was destroyed.
Most of those whom the waves
and wind spared, have removed since
the storm, or tbe "blow," a3 it is
called here, to places more secure.
It is said that nearly all the saloons,
(and in this country nearly every
other business house is a saloon) were
left standing, while every church,
with a single exception, was washed
away. - A few stores and dwellings
yet remain, some of them badly out
of line, and some on ground they
did not occupy before. Almost ev
ery store was open- on the morning
we visited the town, but trade
seemed rather dull. Most persons
probably were at Sunday School.
At 10 o'clock we took tbe mail boat
of
"A

come-down from the steamer Clinton
to the small sail boat "Josephfwith"
her little cabin 12 by 16 ftj with"
sleeping accommodations for about
half a dozen persons. The main
travel from "Corpus" is by steam" di
rect to New Orleans, and not . via
Indianola. -
We were over a day and. a half
making the trip from Indianola, dis
tance 120 miles, fare eight dollars,"
and "luxuries" few. ; We saw thous
ands, of, water-birds, such 'as gulls,
pelicans, water-turkeys, ducks and
fish in countless numbers, porpoises,
jelly-fish, &c
The city of Corpus Christi is tho
most important point west of Galves
torrTrpo the cosvst' ItrpopuJationia.,
5,000, and is composed of Americans,
Mexicans, s French, Germans, Ne
groes, and every other nationality.
There is considerable trade be
tween this city and the Mexican
border. As there is no railroad tc
the Rio Grande, the goods are trans
ported in Mexican carts, drawn by
eight or ten oxen, or on wagons
drawn by little mnles. . The oxen
have the yokes fastened to their
horns by raw-hide ropes, and pull
the cart in this way, instead of by
bows upon their shoulders. Thr
mule teams are not arranged in five
pairs, bnt four are hitched abreast
in the lead, then four more, then two
abreast at the tongue: The horses.,
mules, and donkeys are very small, .
the oxen large enough, but quite
poor.
. Texas possesses hundreds of thous
ands of cattle, but most of the but
ter in nse, at least npon the Gulf, is
brought from New York, and the
milk is almost clear enough to gig
fish in. . f '
Imported cattle heretofore have-
not done well.- The climate, or
something else, does not agree with
them. Imported sheep do better,
and hogs also, but the " number of
fine hogs is limited.
For 50 miles back, very little corn
or oats and wheat are grown.
The season just past was good for
corn, bnt it is often killed by drought
just about. the time for tasseling.
The soil looks a3 good as the best of
Illinois prairies, and produces pota
toes, cabbage, beets and other veget
ables in abundance. Apples and
peaches do no good,' but grapes do"
well where they have been tried.
The timber is very scrubby.
Mesquite and other small stuff, like
our wild crab, with live oak in places,
all that is to be seen about here.
Two cords of wood-lasts all winter,
and many houses do not have a fire
place in them, nothing bnt a small
