Hull, their Mis sionary Director, take occasion to say, that thus far, no other Society has proposed to employ men, colporteurs or evangelists in Spain. The Union, because it is American, has every advantage there, for successful missionary work, and it de signs to do as much as the Christians of America will authorize by their contributions. After giving detailed estimates for printing the Bible, Mr. Hall writes: As regarding the advisability of printing here, there oan be but one opinion, it seems to me. The facts are : Ist. Spain has never permitted the entry of foreign-printed Spanish books. 2d. After having promised to permit , she proves faithless to her promise. 3d. There is no law which prohibits printing. 4th.

Some of us do this through carelessness; others becanse we suppose that we can then purchase at lower prices, and others because we think it a matter of economy to wear our summer clothes as long as possible. We are fully persuaded that this is a mistake and that it is really our interest, to make our purchase at the very opening of the season. It stands to reason that those who take the “ first pick,” fare best and we are assured by the proprietors of the largest clothing house in Philadelphia, (Wanamaker & Brown's) that neither in price or any other respect is there «tny advantage to be gained by waiting.

Y, Phihd«u«ia Paint will never smart nor stain, Paint will ease the greatest pain, Paint will enre foul ulcers deep, « From them inflammation keep; An invention that will last When all liniments are past, "When all pills and powders fall, Pain Paint will outlive them all. The latest scientific discoveries prove that the principle of eva poration and absorption is the only method by which inflammation can be instantly removed. But tbe absorbents will notdrink water readily, for the flesh is of an oily nature, and water rolls off. Hot liniments have utterly failed, for they alwaysinflameand bnrn the flesh wherever applied, while oils or ointments clog Ihe pores and prevent the escape of morbid matter. But a preparation has been made and already tested on over 500 000 people, suffering all kinds of pain and disease that is possible to enumerate, a/*d it acts like magic on each and every individual. It is limpid as water, and is as harmless; will not atain or smart, and so prepared tbat the ab sorbents drink It rapidly and the evaporation tbat instantly arises through the mil ion of pores is really marvellous. It is an inven tion hitherto unknown, but is of a* much importance as the intro duction of steam or the magnetic telegraph; for the drying up a single tear has more of honest fame than shedding seas of gore; this article not only dispels all heat and fever, but evaporates out all impurity and moi bid matter of the system or blood atany point wherever applied. This novelty is Dr. Wolcott’s Pain Paiut. Uis office at No. 181 Chatham Square, N. Y., has a greater number of patients, with every type of disease, than any hospital in America or Europe. This f *ct alone enables him to give the best practical advice to those who suffer from any malady, disease or pain. It costs the patient nothing for advice, beside all pain is instantly re moved free of cost. Tens of thousands given up as hopeless are permanency cured, and restored to the activity of life. A large Bhare of these applicants suffer with drug disease, and have had their whole system medicated and poisoned through and through with mediciue. Dr. Wolcott condemns most emphatically all drug treatment, and proves practically that disease can be radi cally expelled from the system without dosing the stomach. The advent of Pain Paint overturn* the old theory of cure; and medical practitioners are nt their wits' end in beholding such undeniable and astonishing cure* of those cases considered by themselves as utterly hopeless. Hundreds come over one thousand miles to ob taiu-treat meat and advice; many bare been suffer ng for years who are unable from sickness or poverty to make the journey. To all such it will be moi e practicable to purchase his remedies and have them sent free of express charges. A piut of Pain Paint (donble strength) will be sent for $5; a quart for $B, or a gallon for $2O, on receipt of the money at No. 181 Chatham Square, N.

As 500 miles of the western portion of the line, beginning at 8 cramento, are also done, but 287 MILES REMAIN To be Finished, to Open the Grand Through Line to the Pacific. This Opening will certainly take place early this season. Besides a donation from tbe Oovemmentof 12,800 acres of land per mile, the Company is entitled to subsidy in U. S. Bonds on i 1-ne as completed and accepted, at the average rate of abon $26,500 per raile, according to the difficulties encountered, for which the Government take a secoud li«n as security. Whether sab sidics are given to any other companies or not, the Gorernmen will comply with all its contracts with the Union Pacific Railroad Company. Nearly the whole amonnt of bonds to which the Com pany will be entitled have already been delivered., First Mortgage Bonds AT PAR. By its charter the Company is permitted to issue its own FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS to the same amount as the Government Bonds, and no more. These Bonds are a First Mortgage upon the whole road and all its equipments. THEY HAVE THIRTY YEARS TO REN, AT SIX PER CENT., and both i PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST PAYABLE IN GOLD. . Such securities aie generally valuable in proportion to the length of time they have to rnn. The longest six per cent gold interest hoods of the U. S., (the 1 8l’8)i,will be due in M years, and they are worth 112. If thi-y had 30 years to run, they would stand at not lesß than 125. A perfectly safe First Mortgage Bond like the Union Pacific should approach this rate. The demand for European in vestment is already considerable, and on the completion of the woik will doubtless carry the price to a large premium. SECURITY OF THE BCfNDS It needs no argument to show that a First Mortgage of $26,500 per mile upon what for a long time must be the only railroad con necting the Atlantic and Pacific States is perfectly secure. The entire amount of the mortgage will be about $30,000,000, and the interest $1,800,000 per annum In gold. The present currency cost of this Interest is less than $2,500,000 per annum, while the gross earnings for the year 1868, FROM WAY BUSINESS only, on AN AVERAGE OF LESS THAN 700 MILES OF ROAD IN OPERA TION, WERE MORE THAN FIVE MILLION DOLLARS, The details of which are as follows: From Passengers ” Freight... “ Express “ Mails.-- “ Mi5ce11ane0u5........... “ Government troops... u M freight... M Contractors’ men “ “ material, This large amount is only an indication of the immen e e traffic that mnat go over the through line in a few months, when the great tide of Pacific coast travel and trade will begin. Xt is esti mated that this business must make the earnings of the road from FIFTEEN TO TWENTY MILLIONS A YEAR. As the supply of these Bonds will soon cease, parties who desire to invest in them will find it for theiriuterestto do so at once. The prico for the preseut is par and accrued interest from Jad.l, in currency. A NEW PAMPHLET AND MAP was issued Oct. Ist, containing a report of the progress of the work to that date, and a more complete statement in relation to the value of the Bonds than can be given in an advertisement, which will be seDt free on applica tion at the Company's offices or to any of the advertised agents.
