Providence, May 19.—There was another halt in the Sprague divorce suit to-day. Mrs. Sprague's lawyers noti fied the Governor’s counsel to be ready this morning to argue the question of jurisdiction raised by the Governor in his wife's suit, but Judge Potter was not ready to hear them, and an adjournment of two weeks was ordered. The law of Rhode Island on a divorce is that the petitioner shall be a domiciled inhabitant of the State for at least one year prior to the filing of the petition. Gov. Sprague’s counsel claim that Mrs. Sprague is not and was not for more than a year prior to the filing of the bill a domiciled inhabitant of Rhode Island. The Sun correspondent ha, learned from an authentic source that the Gov • e mor’s counsel has not taken a single deposition, and that they were in no hurry to do so. On the other hand Mrs. Sprague’s attorney’s have taken a few depositions at Swampscott, Mass, and a few have been taken at Boston. Ji is now thought doubtful whether the case will ever be pushed to a trial. It Heads The List.—Of al! other preperations or medicines.

lint and seed. Two pecks of seed t< b the acre may produce an average cro; 4 if the season is very favorable, but 1 three pecks to the acre is more certain t taking everything into consideration. The best soil for to sow flax on is sod ’ ground, and next best to that is good ' clean corn stubble. The ground should 1 be well prepared, well ploughed and 1 harrowed fine. Gel a field roller and i make your ground smoothe and tine, then sow your seed and brush it in 1 with a brush, and put no less than ’ three pecks to an acre of ground. Our farmers let th* - seed get too ripe before harvesting ; the result is shrinkage in seed and a very unprofitable article to the crusher or manufacturer. Don't let yonr flax get ripe before cutting; it is necessary, but wrong. Some think seed ought to have a brown col or before it is fit to cut. This is a mistake. When seed is fairly formed in the boll, and begins to harden a little, cut down your flax and let it ripen in the swath' It will mature in 8 or 10 day*. You will then have a quality of seed that will be desirable. Seed saved in this way will weigh six pounds more to the stroked bushel than seed that has ripened while standing. Try it once and you will be convinced. The next matter of importance is taking care of the straw so it will realize for you the highest market price The farmers of Huntington and adjoin- , ing counties arc rotting their straw be-

: fore bringing it into the market and they are well pleased with the arrangement, as the cost of rotting amounts to but very little to the farmers as they arc provided with ever facility. This idea of rotting may not meet with much favor; but I have no fears. After the first experiment has been tried you will net er want to sell green straw afterwards when you can get from $2 to $3 per ton more for rotted than for unrotted. For your information I will say that one man can spread out fout tons per day, and this amount should cover one acre of ground as near as possible. It must be shook out and spread very light so the grass underneath can be seen. There is one great advantage in light spreading; it rots and drys quickly. It will not rot evenly if it is laid down in bunehes, as the inside receives material benefit while the exposed parts will be properly rotted. There need be no misunderstanding. When farmers come to market their straw and. if I should find fault, say: “Well, I spread it out and did as you directed,” I can tell how it has been treated. I sometimes get straw that :s rotted enough before the seed is taken off. I also get some that is about half rotted. These two qualities I can use by mixing with well rotted stock. The average price for different qualities will be: For long, clean and well rotted straw. $6; green and unrotted, $3. The cost of rotting will not exceed 60 cents per ton to those who own the ground and have cheap labor. Fanners having straw of last year's crop will find a market for it. If further information is wanted by any parties they will find me at the factory. Farmers wanting to buy seed for sowing c*n be accommodated by calling on Niblick, Crawford A sons. T. F. Mylott.

It is not all Piles that affect the Rectum. There is out one symptom by which the sufferer can tell positively that piles is the malady, and that is protrusion from the rectum Bleeding is no evidence of piles, unless protrusion accompanies it. You have piles when there is protrusion from the rectum ; bleeding also multiplies the evidence. Procidentia also protrudes, but goes back at once without pressure, and does not bleed. Fissure in Ano. This often bleeds freely at stool, when the upper end of the fissure, which is a erack in the lower end of the rectum and anal membrane, op«na into a vien. Bleeding alone Is no evidence of fissure, but when at, or after stool, a severe, aching, throbbing pain is set up in lower end of tne rectum, making the person suffer all over, sometimes being * continuous and at other times lasting from one to six hours ; then you can rely on having a fissure in ano. It ia not piles. Rte tai Viter a Fearful .tlaladij. Now read CABiruLLr! In this malady ie Death's hi*vest' The symptoms, st different stages of the disease, are very ' different. Stidy this well. The malady is a very common and dreadful one in its i results, aad often, unless watchful, it will i not be noticed seriously until too late to be cured. For this reason it is a dreadful malady. Like a serpent, it has vov before I you think seriously of it. The symptoms i change as the disease advances. I will try and follow them from the first to last: Bleeding at stool and often morning diarrhoea, resembling coffee-grounds; constipation; very slow, bard atools; desire te remain long at stool; very lams back and mrs; pain in the abdomen ; poor stomach: dyspepsia; heart affection; loss or MEuoar • pain in bise of brain and neck n live* troi'ble; severe cough, more from itomach than lungs ; ash colored c >mplexioh ; wrinkled outer corners of eye*; discharges of mucus like white of egg; lower end of stool hard and lumpy ; small, hard and painful lumps, one or more, just outside the rectum; presence of fissure; fistula; week, lame knee* and thighs; back and hips get sore In bed; painful I burning in soles of feet; kidney and urinary troubles; numbness of legs: sore nerves, muscles and joints, called rheumatism ; ttry annoyiny itchiny about the anut, I always caused by rectal ulcer; and, finally, I entire destruction of sphincters and anal membrane—wrecked manhood and womanhood—poor, feeble, weakly, broken-down bodies and minds. Again, very constant diarrhoea, up often at night, diabetics, paralysis of liusbs and brain; “softening ot brain;’’ acute inflammation of bowels and stomach; severe hemorrhages of bowels; insanity; tired of life ; no pleasure in life. Then comes i death and ends all after a wasted life from ruined health. This malady takes thousands of young men and women from us.; I have bad cases at sixteen as well seat I eighty. It is, in diseases, as the lion is amongst beasts, the monster to be dreaded This malady is commonly called by the profession “Blind Pile*. ' There i« noth- I ing like.ptles about it. lam fully satisfied that tkia malady is no respecter of age 0: person*.

0 suffering is not in the rectum, bat in m; back, kidneya, stomach, limbs, head, etc. *■’ So 1 tell you in my circulars. A small son I on the toe or finger will often produce i II kernel in the groin or under the arm . Would it not be folly to doctor the kerna j instead of the toe or finger? Remove the | cause, and the kernal will disappear. And I yet when peraons so say to me, as stated * above, when their attention is directed to • the fact they will say, “Ves, I *m constil pated, but take pills to keep my bowels open; I must remain long in the closet.” ' This is ail the evidence you want to prove the presence of an ulcer. Then you have 1 the “kernels” all through your system, too. What more do you want? Without congestion and inflammation in your rectum, whv become costive? That dries up the fluids and produces your constipation. Only reason a little and you will soon trace effects back to causes. The Rectum. The rectum Is the lower end of the large bowel. In length it varies owing to the build of its possessor—but, in general, is from three to six inches long. It differs from the colon in this, viz: iu position it is nearly erect, and so kept, from its connection with the tissue between it and spinal column. If an ulcer should eat through the wall es the colon the opening would be into the abdominal cavity. 80, too, is the case, if its location ia latter*! or anterior, which, fortunately, is seldom the case—in the rectum. Nearly always do we find (be ulcer in the posterior part of rectum; but, in time, it often eats latterly and, sometimes entirely around the wall. Toward the spinal column it can burrow deeply! Into such cavity, when produced, enters, at stool, portions of the passing faces, until, in time, the cavity becomes solidly filled, and the w*!l of the ulcer dis-

tended so that the impaction is greatly ' larger than the orifice through which it 0 entered! In this condition the pressure f upon the nerves and tissue becomes very 3 severe and trying and the former becomes 1 paartially, and sometimes, entirely par- ' » lyzed! This impaction must bo removed, ] or death will soon result! In this impaction is written the words "Heart Dieeau,' 1 very often, and Cmmmplion ■ This impac- ! tion, filling the cavity and forcing the lis- • sue and membrane into a globular form, pressing it bard against the opposite wall, '. or side, and almost closing the canal, is one ’ of the important causes of “ribbon-shaped ' r stools, and, also, one of the chief causes of • slow, bard passages. t The office of the rectum is a very import- ; ant one. It is severely tested, and very littlecare taken of it. It becomes injured ' by passing small bones, sharp oyster shells, seeds of fruit and parts of indigestl ed apple cores, and by various other hard I substances, it becomes lacerated and [ bruised—is seldom cleaned by injections of pure water after stool, as it should be—the laceration and injuries become sore* there, as outside—severe ulceration follows, and death is the result. These are the observations of Dr. A. W. Brinkerhoff, who ba* • performed more than twenty thousand op- [ erations on Rectal Diseases. 1 CoHtumptlon from Viceration. 1 Dr. Brinkerhoff says: “I have become • fully convinced, from my practice and experience, that a vast majority of caees called consumption are produced by, or arc simply cases of, rectal ulceration. I i have seen too much to doubt this. I have • seen patients in all stages of the disease. ■ The worse tbe “consumption,” >0 called, tne ) worse the ulcer. , “I have never yet seen a case of lipped ulcer, just above the upper sphincter, that did not produce a severe cough and rap- * idly crush the system and lead to death if ■ not treated. Now, only, is the time to at- ■ tend to them, as soon as felt. “I feel sad when I see so many young r men and young women fading, failing, ' coughing their young lives away, drugged to death more rapidly bp their medical attendants, who know not what they are doing or why they are doing it,” Bad case of ulceration may terminate . in consumption: *nd lam more convinced I every day that not a few can trace the exciting came of their consumption to Ulceration and fistula of the rectum. I Time Accessary to Cure. Piles may be cured in one, two, three, or r it may take six or more treatments. Ulcer treatment is entirely different. , Here is a deep hole to heal up. It may ( take more than one year to cure it. Very r seldom les* than six months treatment in almost every case is necessary before the ; ' patient is entirely free from pain and ( suffering. No ligating, no cutting, no , barbarous methods about it. I use Dr. Brinkerhoff's Rectal System of Practice, j To ladies we will say that you need not t fesr exposure—there is none. The most refined lady can be made well without any mortification whatever, and scores of such can testify to this. Come and be cured—stay away and suffer death. But remem 1 bertbis: Tour moral duty is to seek health, ‘ and be a joy in your heme—not a sad. 1 helpless invalid. Duty demands this of you. Act, and act wisely. ’ If a doctor (?) should accidentally toy, * am trying to fool you and get your money ' * ' come and see if he told the truth, and learn 1 j who my patients are, and judge what I 1 could say.
