In 1890 there were 1797 separate
and independent railroads in this
country, with a total mileage of
163,599 miles. When the third yarty

won't it'have something to do ? And
when it goes about paying the $10,-

it have something more to do ?
There is a judge in Guayaquil,

settle which should be shot, the other

amille Flammarion, the French

Kaiser William is troubled with a

be some advantage T in this, if it has
its inconveniences, for it relieves them
from hearing some of the remarks

Boston Commercial Bulletin: On the
spot the regular business prevails. The
mills are buying in a languid manner
from the South. Holders there are not
offering so freely and less disposed to
accept present prices, and the market in
consequence is a little stronger. Mid

tinges can be landed at about 6c. As
regards the acreage nothing definite ap

Anderson & Barr. the contractors for

Diamond shoal, off Cape Hatteras, have
thrown up their contract after having
lost something over $100,000 in their un
successful attempt to sink a foundation
caisson in the treacherous sands of the
shoal. Mr. Anderson, of the contract
ing firm, says the principal cause of the
failure was the inaccuracy of the govern
ment charts on the shoals furnished him
,by the light-house board. ; It is very
difficult to take even approximately ac
curate soundings on the shoal, as the
sands shift so frequently that no reliance
can be put in soundings a short time af
ter they have been made. Captain An
derson says he will go on with the work
if a new site is selected ' with accurately

A MOST WONDERFUL MAN.
Dr. B. C. Flower, the Distinguished Bos
ton Phyician He Will Visit Wash-
" inRton and Biohmond Shortly.
The people of Washington, Richmond
and neighboring cities are to be favored
with one more opportunity lor consult
ing that most remarkable physician of
the nineteenth century, Dr. R. " C.
Flower, of Boston. In response to the
urgent request of hundreds who have
been unable- to see him on previous
visits, and in' accordance with a promise
to re-visit Washington soon, he has
arranged to be at the Rtggs House,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday,, April
14, 10 ana ib, ana at the Exchange
fiotei,-Kicbmond, va., Monday. Tues
day and Wednesday, April 18, 19 and 20:
and it wiir probably be the last chance
to consult him, without visiting Boston,
tor some time,; as other duties will re
quire his presence elsewhere. ' :
The marvelous cures performed bv
this distinguished Bostonian have cre
ated a widespread interest throughout
the United States, and from one end of
the country to the other his fame has
been the wonder of "the people and the
theme for many newspaper articles. His
marvelous cures have never been equal
led, and his wonderful powers are unex
ampled and impossible of explanation.
lhat he can and does cure is evidenced
by the many remarkable cases of promi
nent and widely known people he has
treated, and who vouch for his success
in restoring them to perfect health and
strength.
Dr. Flower s cures have been so num
erous, as well as extraordinary, in
chronic cases of patients given up as in
curable by ordinary practice, as to give
him the reputation of miraculously cur
ing. Dr. FlOwer is the physician of
whom our readers have often read, who
tells hia patients their diseases without
asking any questions; and as he is able
to aetect one s aisease in all its manifes
tations, he must undoubtedly be able to
treat the patient more skilfully than if
his powers of diagnosis were less.
beverar years ago Mrs. A. G; Thomp
son, of the Fifth Avenne Hotel, New
York City (now ot Pittsfield, N. H.),was
treated and cured by Dr. R. C- Flower
of a blood trouble of which Drs. Thomas
and Loomis of New York, and Ham
mond of Washington, said it was not
only incurable, but that no human power
could give her relief. She has been in
perfect health ever since.
La the same wonderful way did Dr.
Flower cure Mrs. Bend, wife, of - Hiram
Bend, a prominent manufacturer of Hav
erhill, Mass., after she had been pro
nounced incurable by the leading physi
cians and surgeons of Boston, and after
unsuccessful operations.
It seems tnat Dr. Flower s cures are
manifest in not only common but des
perate cases, and at the time when hope
aies be shows bis greatest power. Ex-
uov. Bishop, ot Uincmnati, says: "Dr.
K. t,. flower is the greatest physician
on earth. : If : there is such a thing as
man being inspired, he is. You cannot
talk to him without feeling better. He
cures the most desperate cases, in a mys
terious and wonderlul way.
Hon. J. Willard Rice, of Boston,
brother of ex-Gov. Rice, says: "Dr. R.
C. Flower is the most interesting and
fascinattng gentleman I ever knew, and
is the greatest doctor in the world. I
have known him to cure several in the
most wonderful and speedy . manner
when by other physicians - they were
pronounced incurable and in the throes
of death."
Though Dr. Flower's stay is short
only three days in each citjr it will
nevertheless afford many of our sick
readers an opportunity to consult this
most remarkable physician of the present
generation. t
George Davis Literary Society.
The George Davis Literary Society
met at the Y. M. C. A. rooms last even
ing, and, as usual, several of the mem
bers waxed eloquent. The subject,
'Resolved, ; that the Modern Drama is
detrimental to Morals,' -was well de
bated and- many good arguments, pro
and con, were brought out. The decis
ion was in favor of the negative.
The attendance at this meeting was
very good and three new members were
elected. Very great interest is being
taken in the debates and the debaters
generally come well prepared for their i
respective sides.
In addition to the above debate, the
society listened with wrapt attention to
two of their members : reproduce the
the speech of Hayne in reply to Web
ster and the latter's reply to the former,i;
the celebrated controversy between
these illustrious orators. '
