FROM OCEAN TO OCEAN.

AU on one side—j the offer that’s made by the proprietors of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh : Remedy. It’s SSOO reward for an incurable case of Catarrh, no matter how bad, or of how long standing. They mean what they say; they’re responsible, and the. offer has been made for years. It’s all side —you lose your catarrh, ’or you’re paid SSOO for keeping it. But it’s safe for them, too—they know you’ll be cured. i 1 Dr. Sage’s Remedy produces pet* feet and permanent cures of Chronic Catarrh in the Head, as thousands can testify. “Cold in the Head” ‘is cured with a few applications. Catarrhal Headache is relieved and .cured as if by magic. It removes offensive breath, loss or impairment of the sense of taste, smell or hearing, watering or weak eyes, and impaired memory, when caused by the violence of Catarrh, as they all frequently are. Remedy sold by druggists, 50 cents.

An Unbroken Line of States From the Atlantic to the Pacific. —• new York Tribune. “How many people realize,” remarked the geographer, “that since the admissibn of Idaho and Wyoming we have a belt of States extending all the way from the Atlantic to th* Pacl(fic? This was accomplished, in fact, ’ when Idaho came in, a few days in advance of Wyoming. I wonder who will be the first traveler to go from Maine to California without stepping his foot outside of a sovereign State pf the union. There may be a little good-natured rivalry on this point when'the matter comes to be generally understood; and I have no doubt that forty or fifty years hence numerous claimants to this honor will come to the front. It might be interesting, also, for the people who think they are acquainted with their own country to Undertake to name in order from east to west, or -vice versa, the States that lie along the norther border of the United States. Of course the admission of six States to the Union in one year is without precedent, and there is no possibility of its having a future parallel. The only portions of the country not under the government of some State are the District of Columbia, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Oklahoma, the Indian Territory and Alaska. Four States formed out of these seem possible within,-per-haps, a quarter of a century, but no more for an indefinite period in the future. To look back at the past. Florida, lowa and Texas were all admitted in one year—lß4s. That was the nearest approach to the admission Of six which President Harrison has had. the honor to proclaim. We have now twenty-five States east of the Mississippi river and nineteen west of it. When four more western States are constituted, that river will almost exactly divide the Union in two. so far as the number of States is con corned. In extent of territory there is, of course, no comparison between the “halves.”
