The Eagle. Local & Miscellaneous. New Advertisements. Circus and Menagerie—Thayer. Big Raddish.—Mr. George Numbers left at our office a raddish about the size of a joint of stove-pipe. We are some on raddish but considder we have our winters supply. New Drug Store.—Messrs. R. S. Peterson and J. A. Cowan are preparing a room in Number’s block for a drug store. The stock will be on hand next week. A Fact.—One of the editorial corps of the Jay and Adams Republican was in town last week.— In the next issue of the Republican, in “Overland to Decatur,” he remarks that, “Everybody are wait foi*the railroad.” They is. New Brewery. —A new brewery is talked of at this place. The talk may not amount to a brewery ; it may mean business. Our imagination takes us to a point where Friend Jones examines a glass of 'lager and discovers an increased Copperhead majority, upon the same principle that the water doc"*~'"vtor discovered the wheelbarrow. Thayer’s Mammoth Show.— This great combination of Circus and Menagarie will exhibit at Decatur, Wednesday, Oct. 6th. This exhibition has recently been reorganized and furnished with new equipments at an expense of 8200,000. The Menagarie contains a magnificent collection of animals from the wild jungles of Asia and Africa. The Circus is arranged with due regard-to the morals of the cominuaitv, and contains Riders, Ceaptrs Vaulters, Contortionists and Gymnasts, that are unequalled bj’ any* similar estab lishment travelling. The proces- • sion as it enters town will present a scene of magnificence alone worth the price of admission. Prominent will be the Car of Aurora, upon which will be a living Lion reposing in stately majesty. We have not space to say more, but invite all to come and sceforyourselves. When you go to a show go to the best. The Lady’s Friend Tor October. Many of our readers will remember the beautiful ballad of“Jeani® Morrison,,: “I’ve wandered east, I’ve wandered west, I’ve borne a weary lot, But in my wanderings, far and near, Ye never were fargot. The fount that first burst fare this heart, Still travels on its way: And channels deeper ns it rings, The luve of life's young day.” Well, the beautiful steel engraving of this number of the “Queen of the Monthlies,” illustrates Motherwell’s touching ballad. This is followed by the usual large and handsome colored fashion plate—and by numerous other plates of the fashions—Country Toilet, Walking Costume and Riding Habit, Numide Collar, Bodices,Ac. The Music of this number is the popular song, “What Need have 1 the Truth to Tell?”' Among the excellent literary matter, we note “The Prize of Two Men’s Lives,” by Amanda M. Douglas; “Roland Yorke,” by Mrs. Henry Wood; “Miss Stanley’s Parish,” by’Frances Lee; •Between Two,’ by Elizabeth Prescott; Ac., Ac., The publishers offer great inducements to subscribers, and we rCcomeud our -eaders to inclose ten cents for * O B f v . , ple copy, to Deacon A Peter sou, 319 Walnut Street, Philadel phis. Price two dollars and fifty cents a year (which also includes a large steel engraving). Four copies, six dollars. Five copies (and one gratis, eight dollars. „The lady’s Friend” and “The Saturday Evening Post” (and one engraving), four dollars. Specimen pnmbers sent for ten cents. The Lapse of Tears. The Detroit Free Frets places in juxtaposition two remarkable features itj the career of General Grant: “On Wednesday President Grant arrived in Pittsburg and was most obsequiously re ’ ceived by his Radical friends and supporters. Just three years to a day anterior to that time he was in Pittsburg with President Johnson,

and was publicly insulted by the very politicians who are now so ready to even lick his boots in consideration for his favors. The difference rested in the fact that in 1866 he was understood to be the friend and supporter of the r econ strnction policy then advocated by President Johnson, and that supposition was true. Now he is the Ceief Executive of the nation, elected as a compliment to him for his infidelity lo the principles and policy he then supported. It was the treason these men felt called upon to compliment, not the traitor.” A Heart Broken Mother. The following touching stpry is taken from Russell’s letter in the Boston Traveler, Sept. 8 : “In 1864, notice was given that a boat load of prisoners dersonville would be exchanged), and that they would be landed at Annapolis, Md. Men and woihen came from every part of the United States, each with Some hope of meeting a friend whom they knew to be confined at Andersonville. Os course, among such a large number there could not be more than one in a hundred that could find the friend they came after. When the boat came up to the wharf, there was a great crowd there to welcome the folrorn creatures and to inquire after others who did not come. Among the expectants was the mother of a soldier in the 12th Connecticut regiment, who rushed on board the boat, asking every soldier she saw for her boy. From deck to cabin, in the cots and among the barrels, she searched for him ; but he was not there, and no one had heard of him. She had brought a cap, a shirt, and a pair of pants, that he might have a clean change, and with these across her arm she wandered among the crowd, saying’ in a half.inquiring tone, “He has not come.” For a year after, she went regularly to the wharf at sunrise from her lodgings, which nobody could find, and gaze for an hour down the bay, murmuring. “He has not come,” would go to the post surgeon, with the same cap, shirt and pants, ahd ask why her boy did not come. At the close of the war she was taken to the lunatic asylum. But one day last June she managed to get out, >and, securing some old rags in place of the clean pants, she astonished the family now liveing in the house where the surgeon’s quarters were then, by asking “why het boy had not come.” They shut the door in her face, and she wandered down to the wharf, with glassy eyes still gazing down the bay to ward the point where steamers first come in sight. “lie had not come to her, But she had gone to him.” A Market for Potatoes. —The crop of potatoes this year promises to be a large one. To the ques tion, what shall we do with them ? ‘Rural,’ of the Chicago Tribune, answers: What you cannot sell, feed to your cows, horses and pigs. In the New England States and New York, in the old time, the potato crop had no commercial value, but was of great importance for feeding purposes. Better give our work teams in spring a feed of potatoes at noon, rather than corn, especially if we feed corn at night and morning. If you have a dry cow to fat, feed her potatoes. If short of corn for the pigs, boil potatoes for them. A peek a day to each cow will add to your yield of butter. The surplus for market is more apparent than real, after deducting for home use. Thousands of farmers families at the West will have a winter supply for the first time, thanks to the potato mania. The Colorado potato bug that was to sweep away this crop and cut it off from the list of good plants, has disappeared from a mong us, (in central Illinois) and the potato bids fair to be more valuable tlyin before.

rp HE KIDNEYS.—THE KIDNEYS I are two in number, situated at tha upper part of the Zoin, surrounded by fat, and con»is:ing of three parts, viz: the Anterior, the Interior, and the Exterior. The anterior absorbs. Interior consists of tissues or veins, which serve asa deposit for the urine and convey : tto the exterior. The exterior is a conductor also, terminating in a single tube, and called the U rcter. The uraters are connected with the bladder. The bladder is composed of various coverings or tinsues, divided into parts, viz: the Upper, the Lower, the Nervous, and the Mucous. The upper expels, the lower retains. Many have the desire to urinate without the ability; others urinate without the ability to retain. This frequently occurs in children. To cure these afflictions we must bring into action the muscles, which a?e engaged in their various functions. If hey are neglected Gravel or Dropsy may ensue. The reader must also be made aware, that however slight may be the attack, it is sura to affect the bodily health and mental powers' as our flesh and blood are supported from these sources, i Gout, or Rheumatism.—Pain occuring in the loins is indicative of the above diseases. They occur in persons disposed to acid stomach and chalky concretions. The Gravel.—The gravel ensues from neglect or improper treatment of the kidneys. These organs being weak, the w ,ter is not expelled from the bladder, but allowed to remain; it becomes feverish, and sediment forms. It is from this deposit that the stone is formed, and gravel ensues. Dropsy is a collection of water in some parts of the body, and bears different names, according to the parts affected, viz; when generally' diffused over the body, it is called Anasarea; when of the abdomen, Ascitis; when of thechast Hydrothoraxi Treatment.—Helmbold’e highly concentrated compound Extract Buchu is decidedly one of the best remedies for diseases of the bladder, kidneys, gravel, dropsical -swellings, rheumatism, and gouty affections. Under this head we have arranged Dyruria, or difficulty and pain in passing water, scanty secretion or small and frequent discharges of water; Stranguary, or stopping of water, Acrmaturia, or bloody urine; Gout and Rheumatism of the kidneys, without any change In the quantity, but increase of Color or dark water. It was always highly recommended by the late Dr. Physick, in these affections. The medicine increases lhe power of digestion, excites the absorbents into healthy exercise, by which the watery or calcareous, depositions, and all unnatural enlargements, as well as pain and inflamation, are reduced, and it is taken by men, women, and children. Directions for use and diet accompany. Philadelphia, Pe., Feb. 25,’67. H.T. Helmbolp, Druggist: Dear Sir: —I have been a sufferer, for upward of twenty years, with gravel bladder, and kidney affections, during which time I have used various medicinal preparations, and been under the treatment of themost eminent physicians experiencing but little relief. Having seen your preparations extenlively advertised, I consulted with my family physician in regard to using your Extract Buchu. I did this because I had used all kinds of advertised remedies, and had found them worthless, and some quite injurious; in fact; I despaired ofsever getting well, and deternrnedto use no remedies hereafter unless I knew of the ingredients. It was this°that prompted me to use your remedy. As you advertised that it wvs composed of buchu, cubebs, and juniper berries; it occured to me and my physician as an excellent combination. and, with his adyico; after an examination of the article; and consulting again with the druggist, I concluded to try it. I commenced its use about eight months ago, at which time I wss confined to my room. From the first bottle I was astonished and gratified at the beneficial effect; and after using it three weeks, was able to walk out. 1 felt much like writing you a full statement of my case at that time, but thought my inprovoment might only be temporary,, aud therefore concluded to defer and see if it would effect a perfect cure, knowing then it would be of greater value to you, and inorc satisfactory to me. I am now able to report that a cure is effected after using the remedy for fivo months. I have not used any now for three months, and feel as well in all respects as I ever did. Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste and odor, a nice tonic and invigorator of the system, I do not mean to be without it whenever occasion may riquire its use in such affections. M.
