FALL IMPORTATIONS,

The Teacher

Who advised hér pupils to strengthen their minds by the use of Ayer’s Sars saparilla, appreciated the truth that bodily health is essential to mental vigor. For persons of delicate and feeble cynstitution, whether young or old, this medicine is remarkably beneficial. Be sure you get Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.

‘Every spring and fall I take a nnm- ber of bottles of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and am greatly benefited.”” — Mrs. James H., Eastman, Stoneham, Mass.

“J have taken Ayer’s Sarsaparilla with great benefit to my general health.” — Miss Thirza L. Crerar, Palmyra, Md.

‘*My daughter, twelve years of has suffered for the past year from —

General Debility.-

A few weeks since, we began to give her Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Her health has greatly improved.” —Mrs. Harriet H. Zattles, South Chelmsford, Mass.

“About a year ago I began using Ayer’s Sarsaparilia as a remedy for debility and neuralgia resulting from malarial exposure in the army. I was in a very bad condition, but six bottles of the Sar- suparilla, with occasional doses of Ayer’s Pills, have greatly improved my health. I ami now able to work, and feel that I cannot say too much for your excellent remedies.’—F, A. Pinkham, South Moluncus, Me.

“My daughter, sixteen years old, is nsing Ayet’s Sarenpentiié with good ef- fect.’—Kev. S. J. Graham, United Brethren Church, Buckhannon, W. Va.

“ I suffered from

Nervous Prostration,

| ‘with lame back and headache, and have , been much benefited by the use of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. I am now 80 years of age, and am satisfied that my present health and prolonged life are due to the use of yer’s Sarsapariila.”’"—Lucy Moffitt, ilingly, Conn. Mrs. Ann H. Farnsworth, a lady 79 ' yoars old, So. Woodstock, Vt., writes : ‘After several weeks’ suffering from ; wervous prostration, I procured a bottle» of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and before I |

Hooks,”Magazines, Pamphicts, &c. ‘** Wallace’s Monthly” for September is at hand. To all horsemen it is as interest- ing as ever.

*A. 1. D. B. in South Africa,” pub- lished by John Lovell & Son, Montreal. This is a rather mteresting and well writ- ten story. There is some very good philoso- phy in the love passages between Dr, Fox and Miss Kate Darcy. On the whole, it is well worth the expense of a leisure hour or two. The author is Louise Vescelius- Sheldon, well known as the writer of ‘** Yankee Girls in Zululand,” and the book is No. 11 of Lovell’s Illustrated Series. The illustrations, by the way, are good.

The **Prize List ” for Prince County Ex- hibition, which takes place at Summerside on the 25th September, has been received.

** The Curse of Carne’s Hold,” by G. A. Henty, is a very good tale of adventure. The hero of the story, broken-hearted and despairing, flees to the Cape of Good Hope. determined if possible to lose his lite in battle. He joins the Cape Mounted Rifles, and in active service finds the best solace for his dejected spirits. Romance is again infused into his hfe by his success in rescu- ing from the Kaffirs » ycung and beautiful iaay, whom he gallantly bears on horseback veyoud reach of their spears. From this point the story takes up novel and startling developments. The hero's affairs in the vld country are adjusted by a surprising ‘discovery, and ‘**'The Curse of Carne’s Hold” is brought to a happy and satisfac tory conclusion. The book abounds in

bring situations. It is *“*No. 10 of Lovell’s Copyright Series.” .

** guland Oliver, by Justin McCarthy, M. P., is No. 66 of Bryce’s Library. It is needless to say that this movel is in govud style and well worth reading. Published by William Bryce, Toronte.

“A Winter in Buston,”--Correspond- ence by ** Nona”; Charlottetown, P, E. L.; John Coombs printer and publisher. The, typography of this pamphlet is beautiful. But apart from the fact that the letters were smoothly written and their tone dis- tinctly religious, we cannot see in them any special reason for their publication—exce pt it may be for private circulation. The information they convey about Boston is infinitesmal.

An Engineer's Experience.

Mr. J. P. Ball, C. E., is now engaged on a survey in the vicinity of Gander Lake. Chis region has not been explored except by indians. It is a rocky place. The Lauren- ‘ian rock abounds, and the oldest fossils— the Eoceni Canadensis—are found. Me.

his work as follows :

** Granite and sienite boulders resting on top of mountains of rook, are wedged up by a smal! chip of rock. If you knock away the wedge the boulder goes rattling down the side of the moun- tain. The interior of the country is studded with iakes and rivers and sina’! islands in the lakes which make the scenery very iateresting. fhis present month is the best part of the year, if it were not for the black flies aud mosquitoes and widges ;they are numerous, but 1 am gettingaccustomed to them. We have to build a smudge outside the camp every night. We saw a bear yesterday and a cari- beo to-day, fired at them but did not get there. We expect to get some game up at Gander Lake. Mr. Walsh wasup there for the last five days exploring. To-day we mov- ed our camp three miles and carried every- thing along with us, each man with a pack on his back looked like so many pack mules, We were all very tired. Nevertheless we went to work on the line as soon as we arrived up to camp. We are now at Butt's Lake.

** You can follow me on the Atlas so that you will know my whereabouts. We landed at Freshwater Bay in Bonavista Bay on July 24th. I had 24 hours sleep the first night on shore; we were landing ourstuff. On the 25¢h Walsh and I went scouting, and the first thing we came across in the way of civiliza- rion was a tramway from a shipyard to the iumber miils on Gander Lake. We foilowed ibe tramway which took us to the imiils, where Mr, Murphy, the owner, lives. He has & mansion in the backwoods; it looks so out of piace. Mr Murphy was very gushing, As he wanted the rai:way to pass his huuse. He ‘ook usin and we had # good dinner, which we finishod off with wine (celebrated port) and beer, We got back to camp at # p. m., and slept well that night, : ,,0n the 26th of July we took the menfop to Murphy’s and started the line. All the men were green hands and 1 hada haid time schooliug them. Some of the men sre Nova Seotians, sume have been up on the ‘treeley expeditiun and are tough as pine knots and carry oae huudred pouuds ali day without @ gruat. On the 27th we had pork and beans for breakfast. Johnson aud I worked or line, Walsh moved camp, caught two salmon below Mu:phy’s dam. Ov Sunday, the 28th we had salmon for breakfast, went dowa the Jumbo fishing, caug'st lots of fine trout and some five pound salmon. We bad dinner at Marphy's: iamb, p.um pudding, wine and beer. Stayed iu camp all evening and told yarns.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

—_——_ ~~

A Professor of Agriculture.

Dzak Smm,—Some discussion has lately been going on among our proviucial editors anent the contemplated change in the teaching staff of Prince of Wates College— chiefly turning on the qualifications which ought to be ;ssessed by one aspiring to 6 teacher's place in the highest educutional institution of our in many respects svuime- what peculiarly sitnated province.

While is is prei'y generally conceded that any @ne appointed to the position in question should be endowed with all the omdinary attributes of a good instructor of youth, there are also a good many of those among us whose opinion is really worth having, who consider that, in a pro- vinee such as this, where agriculture is the mainstay of the inhabitants, at least ore of the professors in our chief public school shovld know a good deal concerning »gri- culture, agricultural chemistry and natural histary. .

These subjects have already obtained a place on cur list of branches to be taught, and such being the case, why not appuiat & person to teach them ?

Above all, if among the Island teachers one can be found, who, “all else being equal,” is also capable of teaching the branches I have enumerafet, Iet him be appeinted to the position, and do not. be for ever importing eliens in the true sense uf the term for places which can be filled to at least equal advantage from among cur: solves.

Yours truly, Fiat Jusrimia.

Wuried ia Landslides. TERRIBLE DESTRUCTION CAUSED BY CLOUD- BURSTS AND FLOODS IN MEXICo.

eee

A recent City of Mexico despatch says : A destructive landslide is reported at In- Mearnacion, state of Hildago. For a week previous to Aug. 26 rain had fallen inces- santly, and en Sunday night it culminated in a cloudburst, which caused streams to overflow their banks and loosened the earth on the mountain Sin rear of the iron works of Richard Henry. At midnight the slide occurred, bringing down with it the huts of the laborers who had built on its side, and covered many others and their inmates. The night was very dark and rain fell in torrents. The many lab rers employed in the works commenced to hunt for the unfortunates caught in the slide. They managed to take out several alive; but a woman, her davghters aud an infant were not found till several days after. At 9 the same night another slide, fifty times as large as the first, rushed dowa over the settlement, breaking down walls, filling doorways, covering gardens, crush- ing huts and depositing immense rocks which the men cannot. move. This fresh slide caused great terror to the miners and workers in the mills, who sought safety in flight. When morning dawned the rain ceased, but devastation caused by the breaking away of the mountain side was apparent. Nearly allof the huts, hundreds in number, have been swept down inte the valley and piled up one above the other and buried inthe mud and stones several feet deep. Houses at the base of the mountain were crushed, walls had been swept away, and the devastation was most complete. For three or four days after- wards searching was carried on in the slide, aud five bodies were taken out. It ia be lieved many others were buried. There are heavy thovuds at Yetecal, state of More- los. A large portion has been washed away, and several lives have been lost. There is danger of a greater rise. Tam- peca is also flooded, and the people have been driven from their bomes. They are in # starving condition and appeal for he!p.

Hidden Aztee Treasnres.

SUPPOSED TO HAVE MONTEZUMA, BEING

EIGUTY MILLIONS OF IT ESEN BURIED BY HZARCHED FOR,

A recent City of Mexico despatch says: Zxiensive eXcavations are being made at the suburban town of Coyoaran, 4 lying ou the outskirts of a wilderness known us the Pedregal, or Stony Ground, which in former ycars was noted as a haunt of brigands. ‘Lhe vbject of the excavations, which are being made by private assucts tions, is to recover treasures of god and jewels supposed to be hidden there by Huperor Muntezuma Senor Mercade, one of the pariy eng»ged in the work, is a de- scendant of the jast Aztec Emperur Quan- temac, Mercade has hieroglyphic docu- ments which convince hima that it was in the Pedregal that Montezuma hid his treasures, among other things a hugegolden sun. A few weeks ago a valuable black pearl was found and also an emerald near aume skeletons discovered in a subterran- ean passage. The excavations already dis close a subterranean staircase, winding passages and vaults, chambers and skele- tons, destitute of tusk or teeth, thus, ac- cording to the Senor Mercade, proving be- yond question that the Indians there buried were pure Aztecs. He estimates the value of the buried treasures at not less than $20,000,000, but others put it at $3),- 000,000.
