U. 8. Gold and Silver Products.

It is estimated by the official Director that in 1879 the yield of gold in the United States was $38,900,000 and of silver $40,-

812,000. The production of Colorado was $6,000,000 more in 1879 than in 1878, mostly silver. The Scientific American says :—

‘+ Nearly all the gold and a large portion of the silver produced in the United States during the last year was coined at the mints er used in domestic manufactures, arts, and ornamentation. The surplus was exported to non-producing countries. From all information it is safely assumed that the annual consumption in the United States oi pregious metals in all forms for manufactur- ing purposes now averages $7,000,000 of gold and $5,000,000 of silver.

An Immonse Cargo of Grain.

The 8.8. Hooper, next to the Great Eastern, the largest freight ship in the world, witha capacity of 4,900 tons, has just been londed at Boston for Liv- erpool by Messrs. W. P. Howland & Co.. of ‘Toronto, with 150,000 bushels of grain, the largest single cargo ever shipped by one firm; insurance upon it reached $22,000. The vessel also carried 500- cattle, 800 sheep, 5,000 sacks of flour, and several hundred tons of other freight, all shipped.by Canadian parties.

Manitoba News.

Wo understand that Martin Mce- Donald, Esq , J. P. and P. M., of Lorne, ond son of the Minister of Justice at Ottawa, is to be married to Miss Eliza- beth McDonald, on the 28th instant, at the house of the bride’s father, near Alexaniria.

Indicatiens everywhere point to the fact thal there will be an immense emi- gration to this country next season. Here is a little straw that tends to strengthen the belief. It is a para- graph from a letter receive! by Mr. W. McKeclinie, of this place, from the Di- visional Superintendent of the Grand Trunk Riilwsy. The writer says: “ There is going to be an immense emi- gration from the Old Country, and from Canada as well, next year, and there can be no doubt but that there is a great future for that country.”— km- erson International,

Limes and Black Mud asa Fertilizer.

Our correspoudent, ‘J. 1.’ writes: ‘Suppose I use lime and black mud to make a compost for fertilizing purpos- e3,,in what proportions should they be used? When should this be done? How applied for grain? How for grass? If lime is used alone for top- dressing, when is the best time to use it? Is‘slacked lime that has lost the head any good for compost, or - how much inferior is it to quicklime ?’

In reply to the above quer.e3 we would say that practical agriculturists find that a barrel of lime would be sufficient to disintegrate a large load of muck. They shonld be mixed, say four to six months before application to the soil, and turned over once or twice during that time for more thorough incorpor- ation, thus bringiag the lime into con- tact with all the portions of the muck, thereb) the more thoroughly disinteg- rating it. The compost may be applied asa top-dressing for. grass, and we would suggest the fall as the best time, bat it may also be applied early -in spring. It should be ploughed in for grain cither in fall or spring. If lime xione bo applied for top-dressing it should be laid on in the fall, but if negiected thea, it may still be applied in early spring. Lime that is wet and slacke | will have lost a good deal of disintegrating properties in proportion to the time it may have been in that condition. The exact proportion can- not be stated, but it would be well to

rocure the more vital fertiliser.—Sf. John Telegraph.

Astonishing Success.

It is the duty of every person who has used lsoschee’s German Syrup to let its wonderful qualities be known to their friends in curing Consumption, severe Coughs, Croup, Asthma, Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and luag diseases. No per- son can use it without immediate relief. Three doses wiil relieve any case, and we consider it the duty of all Druggists to. re- commend it to the poor dying consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as 40,000 dozen bottles were sold last year; and no one case , where it failed was reported. Such a} medicine as the German Syrup cannot be too widely known. Ask ‘your Drogyist about it. Sample Bottles to try sold at 10 cents. Regular size 75 cents. For ale by all Druggists.

Serious Charge.

The Oltawa Citizen makes a rather serious charge against Mr. McKenzie. Referring toa paragraph in the Globe in relation to the Carilion canal contract, in which it 1s hinted that something will be shown by Mr. McKenzie during the coming session of Pariiament, our contemporary says: — ‘‘ It will be interesting if he will tell why it was that, after refusing Mr. Cooke, the con- tractor, one dollar on his claim, and after a stormy interview in which he insulted the contractor, and the contractor denounced him—he, nevertheless, paid that same con- tractor over $21,000—in view of a pending election. Either the money was due, and it was dishonest to hold it, or it was not due, and it was corrupt to pay it.” That is a very serious charge against Mr. MacKen- zie; and if we are to havea dirty linen washing at the next session of Parliament in connection with this matter, itis to be hoped that the washing will be a very thorough and complete one.

‘Trading for Gash.

g, aware, to establish business in some localities upon a eash basis, and it is often with much hesi- tation that the retailer undertakes to sell his goods for cash alone. Where an estab- lished house has for years been selling goods upon long terms of credit and with supposed large margins of profits the change cannot be made to cash, even at lower prices, without some loss of custom. But this loss is often more than compensated by the advantage the buyer gets in making cash payments, The person who does an exclusively cash business is in a position to buy upon much better terms than his neighbor who gives credit and is constantly making losses, not only by bad debts, but by the continuous drain of interest he has to pay, and which absorbs al) the profits he can get, often compelling him in the end to ask his creditors for their consideration.

Let us see what the merchant loses by long credits. In the first place he loses in profitable trade. The ones who buy of him are those who can buy of no one else, and those who have ¢ash do not take long to discover that the trusting merchant is the dear merchant. Even if he .does sell his goods at the same rate as hiscash competi- tor, the probabilities are against it, so those who have cash are apt to pass by and make purchases elsewhere ; and hence- he loses his best customers, or what is equivalent, fails to draw the best. When once the community is educated up to the many ad- vantages of making immediate payment for their purchases, there will be little or no difficulty in the way. Those who have had the greatest success in doing business upon a cash basis are those who have been most able, by the use of printerss ink and in other ways, to present the many ad- vantages the cash buyer gets by making prompt payment.—-Monetary Times.

ait ati asian Sleeplessness.

A correspondent thus writes to the household departmeut of the Detroit Free Press : Sleeplessness, or insomnia, as it is technically called, is but a symptom, it marks, however, some diseases of the brain or is the result of strong mental emotion, overwork, or the inordinate use of such articles as tobacco, coffee, alcohol, etc. The treatment of this disease depends entirely upon the cause. Mental labor should be given up, even work of any kind must be abandoned; articles liable to keep up the over-work must be forbidden. lf general debility is present the system must be brought a natural standard by tonics and a proper diet. If there are symp- coms of a fullness of the brain, this must be relieved by cups or leeches to the nap of the neck, etc., or a blister to the same spot, dressed when requisite with morphia. Occasionally this fullness may be relieved by proper physical exercise, as a long walk, calisthenies, etc. All excitement of any form must be avoidea just prior to the hour of sleep, hence light exercise at this time will be the best, as divert- ing the attention from business, ete, Instances are common where _ the patient stffers from an empty stomach, and a quantity of easily digested food will sat- isfy the craving and promote a sound, re- freshing slumber. Again, cold water ap plied to the head or hot foot baths, with or without mustard, or a warm bottle will re- lieve the. patient promptly. The patient should examine his surroundings as to whe- ther any cause exists, such as improper position in bed ; the best is always where the head and shoulders are elevated. For the relief of sleeplessness the mildest means should be ased first, and medi- cines be employed withcantion. A glass of beer at bedtime, hop pillow or the prepara- tions of hops -(hyocyamuslactucarium, bro- mide of potassium or! sodium, etc). The medicines inclosed in parentheses should only be taken according to the physician’s prescription. Now, to conclude, I have found in my own practice that chloral in positive doses acts better than all other remedies, but also should be used with caution.

CATARRE. . Constitutional Catarrh Remedy CURES CATARRH.

Hear whgt a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Ren.edy.

T. J. B. Harpina, Esq., Brockville, Ont.:— Dear Sin—It is now two years since your “Constitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced to me. I have waited this ong to see if the eure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the effects seemed to me to be “‘too good to true.” * 1 was afilicted 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 i I would feel like smothering and be com ‘led to sit upin the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your 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 a third. I quit taking it, feeling quite clear 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 , you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may see proper Yours truly,
