Bow ninny Americana hara heard of
the state of Guerrero? It it one of the
richest mining redone of Mexico, and it
i Mid that iU soil in a crmt of silver and
IftiliL Here the first mines were workwJ
by the Spaniard, and the conntry con
tains hundreds of abnndoned mines n
day. It lies on the Pacific, and it is only
partially known. It had one mine which
produced 493,000 ounces of silver in a
few months, and it is surrounded by
srreat state which are now beinjr for the
tirt time carefully inventi(ated.
Qaxaca, jut Mow it, is now being
penetrated by the Mexican Southern
railroad, and this will bring a vaot Rfild
bearing region into the market Tlie

the Tehunntepec ship railway, if it is ever
completed. It has vast areas of good
bind, and 1 know a half dozen American
rapitalints who expect to make fortunes
out of the coal fields which they say
have lieen (Uncovered in it.
Coal brings about twenty-six dollars a
tou in City of Mexico, and there are said
to be fine iron deposits in near proximity
to these coal fields. The climate of all
this part of Mexico is very fine, and the
capitalists who would buy some of the
Agricultural lands along this route would
mako a fortune. The public lands ute
worth from twenty to forty-five cents
an acre, aud they will raise cofTee and
n,'iir and all kinds of grains.
This new railroad will, and does al
ready, tap the mining regions of the
Hate of Pueblo, which contain both
silver and gold, and one of the finest
epecimens of gold ever brought into
Mexico City was shown to an American
business man there by an Indian from
this state about u month ago. It was a
nugget of solid gold as big as yoftr fist
The American entered into h cmiti-tic

The eloquent bishop of Derry has, 1
iiear, Receipted an invitation from the
trustees of Columbia college to deliver
in Now York city during Lent, INIW. a
course of lectures on "The Evidences of
Christianity." Remem)ering that tlie
right reverend prelate is Hearing his sev
entieth year, it is not surprising, in his
letter to the bishop of Now York accept
ing the invitation, to find him saying
that his decision required a good deal of
consideration, but lie adds that it is a
nource of pleasure to him to think of
meeting his lordship "and many vener
able chiefs of the great and living blanch
of Christ's holy Catholic church aerow

The bishop, by birth uu Irishman, was
graduated at Oxford, where he won
many distinctions, ami he was Bampton
lecturer in 1870. Ann preacher ho stands
without doubt in tho first rank, and his.
lectures are likely to find as wide a cir

ian. Care In Choosing- Drinking Water.
More and more as a knowledge of
hygiene is spread will people be careful
as to the water they drink, for an im
pure article will as surely injure as Im
pure food. A case in point is just re
ported of two deaths and twenty-four
cases of disease from drinking the
water of an old well in Milwaukee.
For a long time tlie well has furbished
the water for half a dozen families in
tho neighborhood. About all the mem
tiers this summer partaking of the well
water became ill. ami their ailment
soon develoied into typhoid fever.
Near by is a foul marsh, the water from
which is supposed u have worked itself
into the well and thus contaminated it,
causing these deaths aud all ihe illness.
Probably tlie cost of the doctors' billu
and other expenses, together with the
loss of time, have been many hundreds
of dollars, or quite enough to have
brought clear water from home other
source. Herald of Health.

BAKING HOWDEHS,
What the IMInneaota Stntn Authori
ties Know AhoulThem.
If there in a doubt in anybody's
mind as to the quality of the vari
ous baking powdersof the market,
it wilt lie nettled by the evidence
given npontlie subject by the
State officials of Minnesota. The
Dairy and Food C'niumissirfn and
the Stale Chemist arc the higbcHt
official authorities! upon such sub
jests in thin State, and their evi
dence will lie accepted as disinte
rested and unprejudiced. It iH
their biiHinesH to examine the qual
ity of the different footl products),
and to suppress the Hale of those
found impurc and 'unwholesome,
and all will admit that they have
perfonnetljtbcir duties without fear
or favor. '
At a recent examination by a
Legislative committee to deter
mine the qualities) of the various
baking powders sold in Minnesota,
State Chemist and analyst to the
F'ood and Dairy Commissioner, Dr.
Menjamin F. Drew,jgave the follow
ing evidence:
Ones Dr. Drew, I see by the re
port of the Dairy and Footl Com
mission of this State that in making
analysis of the various baking
powders of thisjeountry you report
as a result of your work that the
K'tiyal linking Powder contains and
gives otf in baking a greater per
cent, of carbonic acid gas (leaven
ing gas)(thnn any other baking
powder made; is that truer
Ans. Yes, sir, that is a fact.
(Jues. Doctor, you also found
from experience that the Koynl
linking Powder will keep longer
and retain its- qualities better than
any other powder made, did you
not?
Ans. - Yes, sir, I think it tloes.
Jues. Now, the two most desir
able qualities in baking powder are
the amount of carbonic acid gas it
contains and gives off and the
lenght of time it will keep, are they
not?
Ans. Yes, sir.
yues.- Then the Royal linking
Powder, possessing the qualities, is
the best powder made, is it not?
Ans.--Well, that would be ' Un
natural conclusion.
tjues. ---Well, that is the fact, is it
not?
Ans. Yes, I think it is. I con
sider it one of the best baking pow
ders made.

We have sold Kly's Cream1 Halm
about three years, and have re
commended its use in more than a
hundred special cases of catarrh.

is, that where parties continued its
nse.it never fails to cure. J. II.

ing I could live but a short time. I
gave myself up to my Saviour, de

My catarrh was very bad. For
