WARREN LELAND,

whom everybody knows as the successful manager of the

| Largest Hotel Enterprises

of America, says that while a passenger from New York on board a ship going around Cape Horn, in the early days of emigration to Cal- ifornia, he learned that one of the officers of the vessel had cured himself, during the voy- age, of an obstinate disease by the use of

, _ Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Since then Mr. LELAND has recommended AYER'’S SARSAPARILLA in mapy similar cases, and he has never yet heard of its fail-

ure to effect a radical eure.

Some years ago one of Mr. .ELAND’S farm laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor- rible itching of the skin, with burning and darting paius through the lump, made life almost intolerable. ‘The leg became enor- mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed, discharging great quantities of extremely otfensive matter® No treatment was of any avail until the man, by Mr. LELAND’S direc- tion, was supplied with AYER'’s SARSAPA- RILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation, healed the sores, removed the swelling, and completely restored the limb to use.

Mr, LELAND has personally used

for Rheumatism, with entire success ; and, after careful observation, declares that, in his belief, there is no medicine in the world equal to it for the cure of Liver Disorders, Gout, the effects of high ]'ving, Salt Rheum, Sores, Eruptions, end all the various forms of blood disesses.

We have Mr. LELAND’s permission to invite all who may desire further evidence in ~egard to the extraordinary curative powers of AYER’S SARSAPARILLA to see him person- ally either at his mammoth Ocean Hotel, Long Branch, or at the popular Leland Hotel, Broadway, 27th and 23th Streets, New York.

Mr. LELAND’S extensive knowledge of the good done by this unequalled eradicator of blood poisons enables him to give inguirers | much valuable information.

To any listener outside the door it would ,have been the reverse of obvious why the : Drink, boys, drink |’ should have such an jimmediase and often-repeated encore ; buat

once entered. he would have seen that all faces were at present sober, and most of them serious; it was the regular and res- pectable thing for those excellent farm laborers to do, as much as for elegant ladies ‘and gentlemen to smirk and bow over their |wine-glasses. Bartle Massey, whose ears wero rather sensitive, had gone out to see what sort of evening it was, at an early stage of the ceremony; and had not finished his contempiation until a silence of five minutes de- clared that, ‘drink, boys, drink! was not likely to begin again for the next twelve months. Much to the regret of the boys

and Totty; on them the stil]ness fell rather

table, toward which Totty, seated on her father’s knee, contributed with her small might and small fist.

When Bartle re-entered, however, there appeared to be a general desire for solo music after the choral. Nancy declared that Tim, the wagoner, knew a song, and was ‘allays singing like a lark i’ the stable;’ whereupon Mr, Poyser said encouragingly, ‘come, Tim, an’ let’s hear it.’ Tim looked sheepish, and tucked down his head, and said he couldn’t sing; but this encouraging invitation of his master’s was echoed all round the table; it was a conversational opportunity; every body could say, ‘Come, Tim,’ except Alick, who never relaxed into the frivolity of unnecessary speech. At last Tim’s next neighbor, Ben Tholoway, began to give emphasis to his speeches by nudges, at which Tim, growing rather savage, said, ‘Let me aloon, will ye? else I'll ma’ ye sing h’ toon ye wonna like.” A good-tempered wagoner’s patience - has limits, and Tim was not to be urged farther.

‘Weil, then, David, ye’re the lad to sing,’ said Ben, willing to show that he was not discomfited by this check. ‘Sing ‘M’ loves a roos wi’out a thorn,’

The amatory David was a young man of an unconscious abstracted expression, which was due probably toa squint of superior intensity rather than to any mental charac- teristic; for he was not indifferent to Ben’s invitation, but blushed, and laughed, and rubbed his sleeve over his mouth in a way that was regarded asa symptom of yield- ing. And for some time the company ap- peared to be much in earnest about the desire to hear David’s song. But in vain. The lyrism of the evening was in the cellar at present, and was not to be drawn from that retreat just yet.

Meanwhile the conversation at the head of the table had taken a political turn

Mr. Craig was not above talking politics occasionally, though he piqued himself rather on a wise insight than on specific information. He saw so far beyond the mere facts of a case, that really it was superfluous to know them.

‘I’m no reader o’ the paper myself,’ he observed to-night, as he filled his pipe, ‘though I might read it fast enough if } liked, for there’s Miss Lyddy has ‘em, and’s done wi’ i’ no time; but there’s Mills, now, sits i’ the chimney corner and reads the paper pretty nigh from morning to night, and when he’s got to th’ end on’t he’s more addle-headed than he was at the beginning. He’s full o’ this peace now, as they talk on; he’s been reading and reading, and thinks he’s got to the bottom on’t- * Why, Lor’ bless you, Mills,’ says [, ‘ you see no more into this thing nor you can see into the middle of a potato. I'll tell you what it is: you think it'll be a fine thing for the coun- try; and I’m not again’ it—mark my words —lI’m not again’ it. But it’s my opinion as there’s them at th’ head o’ this country as are worse enemies t’ us nor Bony and all the mounseers he’s got at’s back; for as for the mounseers, you may skewer half a dezen of ’em at once as if they were frogs.’ ’

* Aye, aye,’ said Martin Poyser, listening with anair of much intelligence and edifi- cation, ‘ they ne’er ate a bit o’ beef i’ their lives. Mosily sallet, I recken.’

‘And says I to Mill,’ continued Mr. Craig, ‘ ‘will you try to make me believe as forripers like them can do us half the harm them ministers do with their bad government! If King George ’ud turn ’em all away and govern by himself, he'd see every thing iighted. He might take on Billy Pitt agaia if he liked; but I don’t see myself what we want wi’ any body besides King and Parliament. It’s that nest ’o. ministers does the mischief, I tell you.’ ’

‘Ah! it’s fine talking,’ observed Mrs.

Poyser, who was now seated near her husband, with Totty on her lap—* it’s fine talking. It’s hard work to tell which is Old Harry when every body’s got boots on. ‘As for this peace,’ said Mr. Poyser, turning his head on one side in a dubi- tative manner, and giving a pre- cautionary puff to his pipe between each sentence, ‘I don’t know. Th’ war's a good thing for the country, and how’ll you keep up prices wi’out it? An’ them French are a wicked sort o’ folks, by what I can make out; what can you do better nor fight em.’ ?

‘Ye’re partly right there, Poyser,’ said Mr. Craig, ‘but I'm not again’ the peace— to make a holiday for a bit. We can break it when we like, an’ I’m in no fear o’ Bony, for ali they talk so much o’ his cliverness. That’s what I says to Mills this morn- ing. For bless you, he sees no more through Bony...why, I put him up to more in three minutes than he gets from’s paper all the year round. Says I, ‘Am Ia gardener as knows his business, cr aren’t I, Mills ? answer me that.’ ‘To be sure y’ are, Craig,’ says he—he’s not a bad fellow, Mills isn’t, for a butler, but weak i’ th’ ‘head. ‘Well,’ says I, ‘you talk of Bony’s 'cliverness; would it be any use my being a first-rate gardener if 1’d got nought but a quagmire to work on!’ Wo,’ says he.

| ‘Well,’ I says, ‘that’s just what it is wi’ [ Bomy. I'll not deny but he may be a bit | cliver—he’s no Frenchman born, as I un- Corstand; but what’s he got at’s back but mounseers ?’

Origin of Pie-a-Pot’s Name.

Sir,—In your issue of May 18th, you refer to Pie-a-Pot, one of the chiefs of the Northwest.

May I say that I sat next to Pie-a-Pot, when he and his braves were in consul- tation with the Goveraor of the Northwest Territory in the summer of 1883, and through the interpreter I put to Pie-a-Pot the question ; ‘*‘What is the meaning of your name!” Pie-a-Pot related the origin of his name, and the meaning. He took the name in consequence of a dream. The dream in question had much the same affect as a modern conversion. It procured for him a change which he considered momentous. In the dream he saw a store which affected him seriously, and this stone had a hole in it, and when he awoke from henceforth he became “* Hole in the Stone,” or *‘Pie-a- Pot.” I remember the conversation well, for I was much impressed with the manner of the wily old rascal. I hope I have given you right information, for Pie a-Pot is quite able in the art of humbugging an enquirer, Conversations are not always to be relied on, and he may, (like many a ‘*white brother”) have fooled me. Pie-a- Pot is Chief over a mongrel crowd, being some part Stoney, some part Cree, and perhaps a further mixture, Please allow me.to say that with the Northwest Indian, ‘* distance lends enchantment.”’

Yours truly, ALFRED OsBOKND.

Post Office Improvements.

Str,—I sincerely trust that the Post- master will not be influenced by such senti- ments as Mr. Rice expressed in his letter ir your issue of the 27th inst. The promised improvements at the Post Office have been sadly needed, and Mr. Brecken has the citizens, gratitude for securing them. Business men will now be saved the misery of waiting perhaps an hour for their turn at the delivery wicket. They and the public will be spared the pushing about which makes an evening visit to the Post Office something to be dreaded by any but very strong men; and ladies may now be able to get their letters at the proper time. If,how- ever, this be all the advantage secured us by the new boxes, I, for one, would grudge the rent of any box. 1! would not for an instant urge abuse of Sunday, but I cannot see how the opening and shutting of the Post Office doors on that day can be con- strued into its desecratiop. If Mr. Rice will reflect that the boxes are designed to spare the clerks work and attendance, as much, as to accommedate the public, he cannot but see that the abuse of mercy he fears, is not to be anticipated, as a result of the new arrangemeuts. Indeed, when one reflects how likely it is that late on Saturday night a letter may call to a death bed, or announce other serious circumstances, when a day’s delay may be fatal, the demand for the open oflice becomes a plea of mercy instead of a cry against it. By all means let us have the old arrangement of office open for box- holders until eleven o'clock on week nights, and at certain hours on Sunday. It is difficult to please everyone, but this will probably please most, for those who think it wrong to read their letters on Sunday need not get them, while those who can attend to the duties and privileges of Sun- day, and read their letters as well, will be as grateful to Mr. Brecken as is

Yours, &c., BoxvoLpek, May 29, 1885.

Increase of Negroes.

FIVE HUNDRED COLORED BABIES BORN DAILY IN THE UNITED STATES.

At the session of the Presbyterian Gene- ral Assembly, held in Cincinatti, Rev. Dr. RK. H. Allen, Secretary of the Freedmen’s Aid Society, made a strong speech follow- ing the presentation of the report of the Society. To illustrate his remarks he bad hung on the wail, back of the platform, a map twenty feet long by twelve feet wide, showing the ratio of black to white popula- tion in the Southern States. It was a very startling map, and when explained by the earnest speaker, made a strong and lasting impression. Here are a few of his _ significant facts :— Twenty years ago, at the close «f the war, there were in the Southern States 3,947,000 colored people, and now there are more than 7,000,000. Then there were in Mississippi 220,000 negroes, now 650,- 000. Then there were in Soutn Carolina 400,000, now more than 600,000. Five hundred colored babies are born in the United States every day. The colored population of the United States doubles every twenty years, the white population only once in thirty-five years. Eight years will not have passed before the negroes will be in a numerical majority in some of the Southern States. At the present rate of increase, in 1985 there will be 76,000,000 white people in the United States, and 192,000,000 colored people.

The day is not far distant when it will be a physical impossibility to continue the present practical disfranchisement of the colored people of the Southern States. In South Carolina he has beught and paid for , 270,000 acres of land which he cultivates. ‘Inthe South he pays taxes on more than $91,000,000 of property. He is editing, printing and publishing 106 newspapers, ‘and yet of the 7,000,000 colored people of ‘this country more than 6,000,000 cannot read or write.
