f.rTTERS FROM DR. NEAL. Canai'n Pacific R. R. Co. "kmi'ress of japan." SatUrpay Mornino, Sept. 9, 1893. . Thi'i'H11 t,,e "'P 's P'tch'nS a,1(' tossirKata rate this morning nj the motion seems to le get tiny jtcaili'y worse, I want if possible to ffivcvoJ ji connected account of our journey across the Pacific. We are ncarin the end of our long voyagj .nil very happy wc shall all be when w cast anchor in the harbor of Yoko hama, ami feel we can have a respite of at least one day from the constant motion of sea and screw, which for Kn days past has racked our bodies and at times ma.le us feel that life under such circumstances was scarcely worth living. We have had a very disagreeable passage, the sea being rough almost all the time, smooth enough fr perfect comfort only two or three days out of the whole time, while the weather has been cold and foggy 'i''1 'ltt'e sunsh'ne almost con tinuously. No one who has not tried it can know the awful monotony and positive suffering endured in the long passage across the Pacific in rough weather, so many days out of sight of land, plunging and toiling day after day through the apparently limitless expanse of waters and getting up each morning seemingly no nearer our goal than the day before. The great event of each day is the reckoning at noon of the progress we have made since noon of the day be fore, the determination of the position of the ship at sea and marking that position on a chart which is kept in the library for each one to study at his leisure. We have not made fast time, the highest run being 378 miles and the lowest 341, which is slow as compared with the Atlantic grey hounds but very good for the Pacific where steamers do not try to beat each other's record. We left Vancouver about five o'clock Tuesday morning of last week and af ter a short stop at Victoria, the capi tal of British Columbia, about noon of that day left the land, not to touch it again until we enter the harbor of Yo kohama, over 5,000 miles away across a weary waste of waters with not a glimpse of land to cheer the eye. From Victoria the ship steered slight ly north until it reached, after two days, fifty and a half degrees north latitude after which it came straight wtst on that parallel for four days, passing within perhaps fifty or sixty miles of the Aleutian Islands which we did not see, and then turning slightly south has continued ever since running in a southwesterly direction for Yokohama which we hope to reach early Monday morning, two weeks within one day from the time we left Vancouver. Strictly of course we shall have been only twelve days making the trip as we dropped 1 1st Tuesday when we crossed the 180th degree of longitude. You know a day is always dropped on crossing that line in coming west so that you have a week of only six days, and on going east a day is added so that you have a week of e'ght days. So far as our ship itself is concern ed we are very comfortable. Our state room is large and convenient, the library comfortable and the dining saloon cheerful, while the deck is most roomy and well protected from the weather. If only the weather and sea were what might be desired we should have had a very comfortable trip, es pecially as the company on board is yery agreeable. I think on the whole it is the most sociable ship load of people we have ever traveled with. There are a lot of missionaries on board beside our own party of five, a ery nice English family consisting of father, mother, two daughters and a on, a party of four Yale students, one of whom we have found very pleasant, me Harvard boys and a number of Germans and others, eighty-seven in all in the first cabin, beside a number of Chinese in the steerage. Every body seems inclined to be friendly, at least the majority do, so when the weather is good we have some very nice times together. We had very Pleasant services on Sunday morning with singing in the afternoon and evening. Thursday evening of this week we bad a grand concert in the dining sa loon and yesterday afternoon a very entertaining lot of athletic games on deck, one of the events of which was "Tug of War," Biitish Empire Against the World, in which we man aged to get the better of the British and haul them over the line. There ere nine men on each side. On ours were several Germans, we Yale men and a Harvard man or two. In the evening we had a very pleasant social time playing games down below in the dining saloon. But as I said in be ginning, reading, writing, amusements and all else pall on one and we long only for land and rest, from this fright ful motion which this morning is par ticularly bad, so much so that I must get below. Monday, Sept. ii, 7.30 We are in Bight of Fuji Yama, the famous mountain of Japan, and in a couple of hours will drop anchor in the harbor of Yokohama. The voy age is ending, so to speak, in a blaze of glory, what with the smoothest of seas and bright sunlight yesteulay and Children Cry for Pitcher's Castorla to day, concerts, athletic sports, games, .i uurina me lartrr 1.1 f nr h.i .......1, and a balmy air which has made us all siicu our winter clothes and come out in full summer carb. The ii.,r Japan arc lovely and it seems good to uc ncarmg mem once more. I shall write again later. . James B. Neai.. ' Skpt. 13, 93 : All day long wc have been sailing over lovely Summer seas through the beautiful inland Sea of Japan, until at sunset we reached the Straits of Shiminoscki leading out into the open sea, and for half an hour or more were charmed with a succession of the loveliest glimpses of quiet harbors, green hills and nestling villages, some looking dull and som bre in the fading light, others lit up with the brightness of the setting sun. It was a most enchanting close to a charming day, for all day we have been in sight of land, sometimes very near by and sometimes miles away, tht villages looking very picturesque among the hollows of the hills, which were very varied in their shapes and in the amount of verdure on them, some being very beautifully green, while others were bare and brown. We reached Yokohama about 10 o'clock Monday morning but as the ship remained there only until the middle of the afternoon we had tune only for a few hours on shore. It seemed very pleasant to be once more in Japan, but ot course to me it was not the novelty our first day was ten years ago, but to the young ladies it was simply fascinating they could not find words to express their delight and interest in all they saw. And ceitainly the Japanese are a most in teresting people. I never tire of their picturesque costumes, their cute babies and their lovely country. Leaving Yokohama about 4 o'clock Monday we sailed into the harbor of Kobe at the end of twenty-four hours, so that we had several hours before dark to go ashore to see the sights. A party of nine of us hired jinrikshas and rode first to an old Buddhist temple, which really did not amount to much, going from there to a beautiful little water fall about a mile from the land ing jitty, among the hills which rise abruptly back of the town. It is a small place but very pretty indeed, and is evidently a good deal resorted to. Here we had tea and cake, then came back to our ship for evening dinner. Wc left Kobe about 4 this morning and shall be in Nagaski early to-morrow morning, our last step before reaching Shanghai. Saturday, Sept. 16: We are again in China and right glad we are to be at the end of our long sea voy age, and again among our celestial friends, though of course we shall not feel entirely at home until we get up north into Shantung. We had an in U-resting day in Nagasaki, eight of us going otT in jinrikshas for a trip over the hills to a little fishing vi lage about fuur miles away. The harbor of Na gasaki is a beautiful land locked bay, surrounded 011 all sides but one by hills, and as we left at four in the af ternoon we had an excellent oppor tunity to watch the hill fade from sight, as we steamed out into the China Sea away from lovely Japan to ward the flat shores of China. We reached the mouth of the Yang Tsze river before daylight this morn ing, and at about eight left the "Em press," on which we had been for near ly three weeks, and came up to Shang hai on the company's tender. Mr. Fitch, of the Mission Press, met us at the wharf and we are now comfort ably settled at a hotel until next Tues day when we go on to Chefoo. James B. Neal. Positive and Negative. The Race Question is unsettled. But it is settled that Hood's Sarsapa rilla leads all remedies. Disease marches through all lands. But good health blesses all who take Hood's Sarsaparilla. Dyspepsia is a great foe of the hu man race. But Hood's Sarsaparilla puts it to flight. Scrofula is one of the most terrible diseases. But Hood's Sarsaparilla ex pels it from the system. The people of this day, like. Job, suffer from boils. But Hood's Sarsa parilla is a sovereign remedy for them. Catarrh is one of the most disagree able disorders. But Hood's Sarsapa rilla is sure to relieve and cure it. Rheumatism racks the system like a thumb screw. But it retreats before the power of Hood's Sarsaparilla.

APPOINTMENTS to he madr. The New Tariff Bill. (From our nebular correspondent ) Washington, Nov. 6, 189 "President Cleveland," said a 'Gen tleman who is a frequent and welcome visitor at the President's suburban residence, "has fewer of the savage elements which cause men to grow of fensively exultant over their triumphs than any prominent public man I have ever known. While he was cratified that Congress carried out the ideas expressed in his message by uncon ditionally repealing the purchasing clause of the Sherman silver law, his gratification was tinged with regret because a majority of the democratic Senators voted against repeal ; but he bears them no ill will for having done so, believing them to be as honest in their opinions as he is in his own, and also believing that time will soon show them their error. And I wish to say and to emphasize the statement that the various stories started by those who would profit by a division in the democratic ranks, of the President's intention to punish the Senators who voted against repeal by withholding patronage from them, are in every case purely imaginary. The Presi dent is too big a man to engage in that sort of business. When the vote was taken on the Voorhees bill the contest was ended, and the democratic Senators who voted against it will in the future receive precisely the same consideration from the President that they would have gotten had they vo ted for it I know that to be true." Now that Congress is out of the way for a few weeks it is expected that a large number of important ap pointments will be made, and republi cans who are filling offices the com missions of which have expired would be better making their preparations to step down and out. This expectation has kept a considerable number of Senators and Representatives in Wash ington since Congress adjourned. I he adjournment of Congress will not result in a vacation for the demo cratic members of the House Ways and Means committee ; on the con trary, they are working harder than ever, as it is their intention to get the new tariff bill completed at as early a day as possible. Daily sittings of the committee are now being held, under a resolution adopted by the House, and chairman Wilson hopes to be able to furnish the republican minor ity of the committee with a copy of the completed bill in about two weeks, so that they may have time enough to prepare their report in order that the bill and the majority and minority re ports miy be submitted to the House together during the first week of the regular session. The President's message on Ha waii's application for annexation was ready to be sent to the Senate last week, but as the sentiment for ad journment was so strong it was thought best to withhold it until the regular session. , The Chinese Minister was greatly pleased at the action of Congress in amending the Geary law, and he has promised Secretary Gresham that the whole influence ot the Chinese in the United States to comply with the law within the six months which the amendment gives them. Owing to the estimates of the var ious departments of the government for the next fiscal year not being quite ready the members of the House com mittee on Appropriations will get two weeks of rest, but on the twentieth in stant they will begin to prepare the regular Appropriation bills and from that time until the bills become laws they will be on the jump all the time. The work of this committee is always hard, but it will be harder than usual this year, because the condition of the Treasury makes it necessary that every item shall be carefully scrutinized and everything lopped off that can be done without. This is the sensible way that Sena tor Voorhees answers the silly talk that has to a certain extent been in dulged in by some cracked-brained people about the repeal of the pur chasing clause of the Sherman silver law resulting in a split in the demo cratic party : "On the democratic side of the chamber, while there were very strong differences of opinion, I do not know of a single unfriendly feeling left by the protracted discus sion. Neither party organization nor personal relations have been disturbed. We will take up our work on the tariff and other great questions when we meet in December as if nothing had happened to mar our peace with one another or to impair our strength for the public good. Our faith in the present able and thoroughly patriotic administration has never been greater than now, and, to my mind, the future wears a bright and promising aspect." The Treasury Department has is sued temporary commissions to a number of officials, including Direc tor of the Mint Preston, whose nomi nations were unacted upon by the Senate. It is not probable that a commission will be issued to Mr. Homblower whose nomination to the Supreme Court was unacted upon, as it will be only four weeks before his nomination may be again sent to the Senate. TORES. Annie Ammerman, of her age, is displaying an excellent voice under fine control. We expect to hear from her in the coming years. Notwithstanding the new mill erect ed at Benton, Wesley Bowman and son Henry, at Orangcville, are running a heavy business night and day, with their years of established business, and their magnificent water power. They propose to keep up their old estab lished reputation with less than the same ease it was born. Miss Lena Henry is attending school at Stillwater and speaks very highly of her teacher, Miss Ella Hazzard, of Bloomsburg, a graduate of Normal School. We are informed that Miss Hazzard is very bright. Mrs. Anna McIIenry of Stillwater, is deserving of great praise, because she is so diligent and assiduous in every good work. She is one of the great spirits in the missionary here, and Sunday School duties. S. B. Crouse has been visiting home recently, and will soon remove fiom Berwick works and go into occupa tion and business at Elk Grove, at North Mountain. Miss Marie Crouse is attending school at Stillwater, and improving rapidly. J. W. and W. E. Geisinger have been doing some fine roofing and re pairing at James Trump's recently. Jacob Geisinger and crew, put up a fine large home for Mr. Jno. Welsh this summer near Orangeville a cred it to their efficiency in carpentering. J. W. is employed on the Perry hotel at Elk Run, above Central. W. E. Geisinger expects to leave for Virginia visiting his parents shortly, and remain during the winter at least. Hiram A. Shaerler of Orangeville, is running a first class hotel; is a con genial gentleman as a landlord, and has a fine run of custom. The Sunday School convention held in Zion's Church, on last Friday P. M. and evening was a decided success. The attendance was large and the dif ferent Sunday Schools finely represen ted. The addresses were able and interesting conspicuous among which were Messrs. Hiram Bower and Ster ling W. Dickson of Berwick. Ber wick was ably represented intellectual ly and morally in these two addresses which made a fine impression. Miron Low of Lime Ridge, spoke very ef ficiently, also Rev. Mr. Iloutz gave an excellent address with fine classical allusions. Rev. Houp and another gendemen from Williamsport spoke well in the afternoon. Mrs. McIIenry of Stillwater read an excel ent essay at night. Mr. Kecler, of Asbury pre sided. James Geisinger proposes to make B oomsburg his home this winter. The renovation of the cemetery of Zion's Church will come off on the forenoon and afternoon. It is to be hoped that all those who have rela tives and friends buried there will be out in full force, promptly on that day to fix up the graves ami improve the city of the dead. Aside from this the hitching posts around Zion's Church require to be renewed a duty to be looked after on Saturday next. Come one, come all. The young people have resumed singing exercises in the neighbor hood, more especially for Church choir music. There is fine singing talent here, and it is being developed. E. J. B. and Wm. Unangst drove over to Berwick recently, and had a pleasant day of it. E. J. B. seems to be doing efficient service addressing Epworth Leagues during the last few weeks. Harry Jenkins and family, after spending the Sabbath here departed for Elk Grove on last Monday morn ing. Conductor Scott is winning golden opinions as officer on the R. R. The old people's Epworth meeting at Asbury last Sabbath was very in teresting. Merchant Ammerman has received a fine line of goods for winter use. Miss McIIenry of Orangeville spent Sunday with Forks friends. John Harrison has purchased and is now having placed a tine pair of wagon scales. E. M. Laubach, we are sorry to say is on the sick list. Now we feel confident that your readers will get the news from this section, since you have two correspon dents at Forks. We doff our beaver to the new scribe. Miss Ella Andrews has returned from her visit to Chicago. The W. C. T. U. at Asbury have a new banner. Mrs. J. M. Ammerman and son Roy were in Bloom last Saturday. John Harrison went to Mainville on business this week. Isaac Frye and daughter, Daisy, visited friends in Snyder county, last week. Mamie Bogart will move on O. A. Pealer's farm in Pealertown in the spring. Mr. Pealer expects to go west. There is alway room at the top, ex cepting in the house of the literary man, who fills the attic with papers which he values, and which other folks regard as so much rubbish.

Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafnesi is caused by an inflamed condition of the- Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imper fect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and un less the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its nor mal condition, hearing will be destroy ed forever ; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mu cous surfaces.
