Cireumstantial Evidence.

BY LIEUTENANT MURRAY.

Frank Osgood and Harry Cummings were two young fellows who had been frionds from earliest childhood, and schocl-mates together up to the age of fourteen, in Bristol, England. Their fathers were merchants, aad their fami- lies were well off as it regards the world’s goods. The two young men having secared as good a common school education as was pessible, both

spective parents, and were still both companions until they chanced to make an acquaintance of Miss Mary Marr, & girl in their own sphere of society, and about the sane age as the young/friends. |

Still, for some months after their in-| troduction to Miss Marr, there was no. unpleasantness between them, but by and by the simple acquaintance seemed | to ripen into one of intimacy between the three, and all at once it flashed upon both Harry aud Frank that they were beth in love with Miss Marr, and as | both eould not marry her, a source of| rivalry was inevitable.

Yet so well founded was their long and consistent friendship that there: was no exhibition of feeling upon the subject between them, and to all out-| ward appearances they were still the, best of friends when together. But when absent from each other’ a feeling of antagonism very naturally suggested itself, until by degrees it did not fail to be manifested in public.

Asit regarded the young lady, she had not shown any preference between them, and if she had a choice, she thus far kept it quite to herself. She treats ed them so nearly alike and regarded both with such undisguised good will and friendship that the most acute ob- server could detect no partiality.

Asit regarded Frank Osgood and Harry Cummings each imagined him- self the favored one, and put such in- terpretations upon her words and smiles as he pleased.

This matter remained for a consider able time, without having progressed to such a stage as would warrant either in seeking to formally make known his pretentions, or to ask Miss Marr her own avowsl of affection.

But in the meantime the slight change in the feelings of Harry and Frank toward each other grew to be something quite serious, and they mu tually wondered how they could ever have been good friends in times past.

They no longer spoke to each other. If they met they would turn their faces away without the least recognition,and this Damon and Pythias appeared as though they only lacked the means and opportuaity in order to destroy each other. Their friends and acquaintan- ces observed the change,and soon learn- ing of the intimacy of the young men at the house of Miss Marr, they were not long in drawing the very natural deduction ‘hat jealousy was at the bot- tom of this discord between the two long-tried young friends. Of course thore was nothing which other parties could do in the premises, however much this state of affairs might be re- gretted.

Miss Marr was a very sweet and ac- complished girl of eighteen, and no one wondered that the genticmea found so much pleasure in hersociety. She saw hew bitter a feeling she had been the cause of creating between Harry and Frank, and in her very delicate and

and said to herself :

‘When Lcome to let them know which itis that I prefer, then the bit- ter hate which now exists between them, will all be transferred to the heart of ene.’

‘This was very true.

The bitterness between the former friends seemed to increase daily, until finally meeting by themselves they de- liberately proposed to each other to seek some quiet spot and to settle their pretentions to the hand of Miss Marr with pistols.

A Good Thing.

German Syrup is the special preserip- tion of Dr. A. Boschee, acelebrated German Physician, and is acknewledged to be one of the inost fortunate discoveries in Medicine. It quiekly cures Coughs, Colds and all lung troubles of the severest nature, removing, asit does, the cause of the affection and leaving the parts in a strong and healthy condition. It is not an experimental medicine, but has stood the test of years, giving satisfaction in every case, which its rapidly increasing sale every season confirms. Two million bottles sold annually. Beware of medicines of similar names, lately intro- duced. Jsoschee’s German Syrup was in- troduced in the United States in 1868, and is now sold in every town and village in the civilized world. Three doses will re- lieve any ordipary cough. Price 75 cents. Sample bottle, 10 cents.

Extension of the Grand Trunk to Chicago.

The new line in Michigan which gives

‘the Grand Trunk Railway an independent

connexion with Chicago is now so far com- pleted that a lecomotive can run over it and it is understood that it will be ready for traffic in a few days. The length of line now owned by the Grand Trunk in Michigan is 325 miles from Port Huron to Chicage, and by means of it the Grand Trunk can reach the great grain depot ef the world without paying tribute to any other corporativn. The new connection 15 one that the managers of the Grand Trunk

entered the counting-room of their re. | have desired ever since the year 1860, but | "Ot C ~ ;

the want of the necessary funds to com- plete the line, and the fact that the Michi- van Central Railread generally treated them fairly, delayed the building of an in- dependent line of their own through Chi- cago. But when Vanderbilt purchased the controlling interest in the Michi- an Central Road, the Internatienal and one or two othera of the Grand Trunk’s fast freight lines were almost, if not quite,

broken up. This induced the management |

of the Grand Trunk to take measures to secure an independent connexion with Chicago, This connexion they supposed they had mainly secured by the pur- chase of the Port Huron and Chicago Road, a railroad reaching from Port Huron to Valparaiso, only 44 miles east-

ward of Chicago, and of the victims ef the.

railroad panic of 1873. It was afterwards ascertained, however, that Vanderbilt had secured underlying securities that gave him the control of a section of the line be- tween Flint and Lausing, 45 miles in length. After some delay under threats of building a road to fill up the missing link, Vanderbilt sold this section back to the Grand Trunk. Plans were also laid to construet a road from Valparaiso to Chicago, and it is this last piece of road which has delayed the opening of the Chicago connection. As it is now in a condi- tion to admit of a locomotive running over it it will soon be ready for business. The new connection will be known hereafter as the Northwestern Grand Trunk, and in connerion with the other roads of the Grand Trunk will give that railway some 1589 miles of railroad in the United States and Canada. It will now have a line reaching from Chicago to Portland, a distance of 1,257 miles, the long- est line upon the continent under one manage- ment.

CATARRE.

Constitutional Catarrh Remedy CURES CATARRH.

Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Remedy.

T. J. B. Harpine, Esq., Brockville, Ont.:—

DrarR Sirn—Itis now two years since your ‘‘Censtitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intre- duced to me. I have waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be “too good to true.”

1 was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par ticulars. The inward “drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, T would feel like smothering and be compe to sit up in the bed. My health and spirits were seriousiy affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and # third, I quit taking it, feeling quite elear of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head,

A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease. Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister.
