How Money is Made on the Farm. Kansas Farmer. As a general rule farmers make more money in proportion to capital invested than any other class of people. This is Ftcutly denied by farmers themselves, but a careful and honest comparison of vocations, investments and returns will prove beyond doubt that farmers have better returns from their capital than anybody else who follows a regular and legitimate business. In the Uet there are many farmers who have never put more than a hundred dollars of original capital m their farms, and yet are now in comfortable circumstances. Tate a ten thousanddollar farm well managed, compare it with a ten-thouand-dollar mercantile business, and note the difference. Do the same with sni:ill and large investments, and the farmer hathe best of it. We do not intend to say titat every farmer is as thrifty as any business man. because the thriftless farmer is a forlorn creature indeed, lie would S'inrit on a eiuarte-r section of choice raw land and waste the best of his years in getting started, and then would not have half a start, lie would not make much more from Lis land than would pay for his tobacco If it were not for Iiis wife he would be in the 1'oor House We mean thrifty, active, energetic farmers; men who push things; men that will pick, out a good location on (Jovero men t land and have a good farm and a good start in stock and fruit at the end of live years; men that study their business and turn everything they touch to account In estimating the farmers profits he is apt to oveilook a great many things which he does r.ot put any value on. The writer of this was very much surprised once when he had to pay a farmer for a small quantity of buttermilk. We had uever before thought about buttermilk having any value, though we ere petting this particular lot for use. How many farmers count the value of the apples, cider or potatoes they have in their cellars, or the canned and preserved fruits, and the jellies and jams in their pantries? A thousand and one things are about the place that are useful, very useful, and would cost a good deal of money if they were bought from merchants, that in the farmer's books are not written down at all. (irain Gamblers. The Pittsburg Stockman, a very indepen dent sort ot a paper, notices the fact that a prominent member of the ew lorkrrodace Exchange, in testifying a few days since before the senate Sub-committee on Labor and Exchange, said that "nearly 2,000 out of 3,0 v members of the Kxchange were ramblers, and the law of sup ply and demand had nothing to do with their simulations." and comments noon this sad state of aflairs as follows: "Just think of it! nearly two-thirds of the hand lers of produce in the metropolis of the country operating outside the pale of legiti mate business! At Chicago the situation is equally as baJ, if not worse, and in all the commercial centers of the country gambling methods prevail and receive popular encouragement. Tie witness above referred to recommended as a remedy for this gambling that it bo made a penal offense for parties to sell what they did not own or control, or a penal offense for anybody to buy up the necessaries of life and hold them iorspecu Jatjon. It is to be hoped that tbe law-makers of the country may get some such idea into their heads the coming winter, and do something substantial in tbe way of checking a pro wing and shametul evil.' Canmla Thistles. Philadelphia Record. The thiktle is the most annoying weed that intrudes upon a farm. Hard to exterminate and tenacious of life, it propagates wherever a plant of any kind can secure a foothold. and once in possession of a held tbe cost o its eradication is sometimes greater than the value of tbe field itself. It is a perennial plant, with annual stems, and reproduces itself from seeds and roots, and it is due to its power of rapid reproduction that it is enabled to withstand the farmer's attacks so successfully. . The thistle is now receiving the attention of many experienced and practical agricul turists, among; them Mr. Archibald Stone, of Umghsraton, . Y., who states that no plant it so entirely dependent on sunshine as the Canada thistle. Grow them in mass, or so closely together that they will completely shade the ground, and, as fast as the leaves get matured sufficiently to begin to restore to the plant the nutriment it has coat the plant to produce them they will bo thrown in the shade by the constantly increasing mass of leaves on the top; they will die for want of sunshine, the stems become naked and tbe roots become exhausted while in bloom, and your ground will have to be re ceded before another crop grows. If the thistles are so scattering that they will not shade the ground, com, oats or clover will Have to be sown. In his article to the Husbandman Mr. Stone states that ripen inj; a crop of seed is eihaustive to an V crop, yet tO think Of getting rid of Canada thistles by mowing alter they bad ripened a crop ot seed and burning it seems to be too slow a process for this ae. Other writers have recommended different methods for exterminating the thistle, and claim that individual efforts alone are useless. As the down is easily carried by the winds to considerable distances the clear.est fields are as liable to the infliction as the foulest. No matter Low careful a farmer may be to keep the pest off, his efforts will be thrown away if his adjoining neighbors do not exercise the same care as himself. The work of destruction can be done at the most suitable periods by co operative action, and ach individual will be as much interested in the work upon his neighbor's field as upon bis own. The distribution of the seeds must be prevented in preference to anything else, and mach labor may be saved in so doing 1j mowing the thistles when young, and be

fore they can have an opportunity to seed . It must be done as often as necesiir ast dninr nrMlr and the next

business will be to destroy me puviu by shading with some other crop. ana pulling or digging them out, wnicn is not often necessary, except when fields are en tirely over-run. itui tno coiuiniieu usooi the mower is one of the best remedies to try. Ithouch it requires the abandonment Of the field for a season That, however, is the pen alty the farmer pays for the intrusion, and is rot heavy comparea wuu omer neu methods. It uiicht be claimed without much exag geration that ihe growth of a single thistle on a farm is the beginning of decay, and should cause as much alarm as the entrance of an epidemic in a community. Assam tarv measures are needed in the case of epi demic, so is co-operative effort required to prevent the spread of thistles. Corn Fodder. Vaughn's Manual. When the farmer hns stored up the cars of corn in Lis bins he has laid by only twothirds of the feeding value of his crop, the stalks that bore the corn hold another third. Yes. the stalks, or corn fodder, as it is called. is worth nearly or quite one-half the grain for feeding stock. Governor Boutwell estimates the value of his fodder at onehalf the value of his hay; that is, f hay sold at 20. fodder was worth $10, and for every ton of fodder used he sold one ton of hay. Dr. Sturtevant estimates his fodder at six-tenths tho value of his hay; that is, when he sold his hay at $22 his corn tedder brought him in cash 913.20 a ton. let so many farmers ignorant of its true value regard it only as a necessary evil, and watte it or even burn it. It should be cared for when Lusking time comes with as much certainty as the grain. The few who have large barns and only moderate fields of corn can stow it away loosely in their barns, but this method is "not generally feasible. To handle it easily bind it near the middle into small, compact bundles, tyin; with rye straw or tarred twine. After a dozen or so are tied set them up carefully in shocks. As soon as possible atter husking carry them under sheds or into barns, aud have them ricked or stacked convenient to the barn or cattle yards The great essential is to keep them from beini washed and bleached by the rains. 15y exposure the carbo-hydrates, the nutritious parts, are changed to hber. Dr. I.awes is authority for the statement that dried fodder loses nothing but the water in the drying. Therefore its value is equal to that of creen fodder, and it can be restored to ils original condition by soaking in water. Cattle Plaque liieren injr Odessa Letter to the London Times. 1 The cattle plague is in Uessarabia endemical, but even there, in some districts, it is at present racing more violently th-n usual. Ihis is especially the ca? over a large area by the Kiver Truth, of which the frontier tow n of Oogiieny is the center, anl where, in many places, the rate of mortality unions the anilnals has reached, and in some instances even exceeded. 50 per cent. Notwithstand ing this state of tLing?, scarcely any measures. either ot a precautionary nature r lor the purjose of stamping oat the distemnjr, appear to have been taken. In so-wa nti 'hborhoous a veterinary surgeon is never seen. In all, animals go freely front infected to uninfected, and, oftener than not, the skins of those which have died of the disease are stripped off, and the bodies left above ground to putrefy in the open air. In centeiieuce of the vicinity o: the plague to I'ouiiiania it has been carried across the rruth into that country. Hut there the authorities act with more energy. They arc said to have established quarantine on their side of the river, nnd at the Roumanian frontier town of Neeinshen, at which place there i.s a Custom House, they are reported to have removed the bridge which there crossed the Truth, and to have forbidden all communication with Kussia. So that not only are cattle and goods especially goods likely to carry infect ion with them, as hides, wool, etc. interdicted, but also the public and postal correspondence. This is, of course, done with tbe object of localizing the plague. Nor is that all. Orders have been given to have every animal shot the moment it shows any symptoms of disease, and the entire carca&ts, includinglthe skin, burued. In order to facilitate this being done, the Roumanian Government is said to have undertaken to pay for every hide burned on the body of an animal which has died of the disease, and for the whole animal, including the hide, when shot. I have remarked that cattle disease is enderaical in Bessarabia. It may be said to be more or less so throughout Southern Kussia, and not merely confined to cattle, but ex tended also to sheep and pigs. Hence the Sultan's Government has just interdicted the importation ot Kassian sheep into Tur kev and the German Government the im portation of Russian pigs into Germany. As regards the latter animal, it may be men tioned that in this part of the world his stv is usually purposely placed next to that part of the yard, garden or field commonly use as a water closet. As to washing bint, that is never thought of, nor could that well be expected in a land in the country dis tricts of which the majority of the horses are seldom or never curried. Wtiat I.ant Season Tanglit. Correspondence Farm and Garden. That tomato plant? in the same bill with suuashes, cucumbers and pumpkins will not keep off the bugs. That an application of air slacked lime will not keep bugs away from vines, cabbage plants, radishes, turnips or egg plants. That saltpetre water will not accomplish anything in that line. That coal oil for that purpose is also a failure That good application, repeated three times, ot reasonably strong liquid nil nure docs well, and that an ap plication of line sulphur sprinkled over the plants aud vines will greatly help in getting rid of these pests. That a reasonable applica'ion of wood ashes is very beneficial in a garden, but that it is comparatively an easy matter to make the application too strong. e.-ptcially if the ashes are unleached. That it is useless to plant sweet corn before the ground gets warm as well as the weather, as corn planted three weeks later will come to maturity just as ouick with the same soil a d cultivation. That there is a verv decided advantage in good, sound, quick-ger-initiating seed corn, and this will be evident from the time the corn logins to sprout un til it matures. That peas wilt not do as wel on new, rich grounds as on old. That I can raise more and better Lima beans by plant ing in a row, the plants six inches, than in hills with three or four beans in a hill. That it pays to soak sorghum seed tventy-four hours in water before planting. That tomato vines will grow faster and blossom quicker if a niue mann re is workeu into the hills than if set out without. Two I-ot n of Unbt Per Year. Correspondence Ohio Farmer. In the spring of 1882, after washing our sheep, supposing that no evil would result from it, we let the ram run with our breed ing ewes (then sucking lambs dropped from March 15 to April 15) until shearing. In the iau, arxmi isovemoer i, titteen or eighteen of these same ewes dropped lambs, the result of letting the ram run with them from washing to shearing time. When we began feeding for the winter we fixed a place in one of the stables so that the lambs could enter and tbe ewes could not, and sprinkled some bran and salt in the trough. Very soon the lambs learned to go there, and in a short time they would run for their pen to get their rations as greedy as a litter of pigs for a mess of milk. We fed them liberally through the winter and they came out in the spring in good condition. Lncouragcd by their nice appearance we turned our ram with the ewes again on the fith of May, end will try our lack again with fall lambs. At washing time this spring, we washed the lambs, thinking we would shear one or two, and if thought profitable would shear the whole lot The first cue clipped a lkcce that weighed exact-

ly five pounds. Encouraged by this, wa sheared the other twelve, and from tho tot tot fifty four pounds of wool, which we sold along with other wool at the same price Some of the advantages, we think, from raisins fall lambs would bo the great demand as early lambs for thy butcher. The Iambi, learning to eat so soon, do not rely on milk so much for their support, thus re lieving tbe dams froui such a drain on their system, and coming through the winter in good condition, go on gruss without checkinz their growth, as is very often the case with spring lambs when weaned and turned on dry teed, as must necessarily be done In that season of the year; besides the wool will more than pay for what they consume through the winter, as I am tatistied was true in my case. The ewes came through the winter in tine condition, and when I weaned the lambs they were in mnch better condition than I ever had ewes when the lambs were weaned in tbe fall, and sheared an average of 7 11-25 pounds per fleece A lot of thirty-two yearlings, wintered with the ewes, clipped an average of 9 3 10 pounds per head, all nicely washed wool, and all sold at market prices I would say to those who are prepared to properly care for fall lambs to give it a trial. My tLeep are high grade Merinos. HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

If a teaspoonful of turpentine is put into a washboiler and boiled with the clothes will whiten them perceptibly. A verv nourishing drink for an invalid is made m( whippet! cream, sweetened and mixed with highly flavored wmc. A. piece of matting neatly tacked down by an outside door will protect tho carpet, and will require less care than a piece of cloth. A comfortable-looking wran to lay on a couch or 6ofa, or for use in the carriage on autumn davs, is knit m strips of nine in-jnes wide of blue and wine colored worsted. Steel knives which are not in daily use may be kept from rusting if they are dipped in a strong solution ot soda one part ot water to four of soda; then wipe dry, roll in flannel and keep in a dry place. Corn bread without yea;-t or soda is some times desired as an article of food; sift three quarts of meal, add a tablespoonful of salt. and mix with just enough of water to make a thin batter. Cover this with a cloth and Jet it s'and until it begins to rise, and little bubbles make their appearance on top. Then pour it into a welt buttered tin and bake slowly in a moderate oven. Amon? other pretty wars to finish the ede of a silk lounge quilt are these: I ut a border of narrow ribbon on in strips, make a point on the end of each piece of ribbon, and under these allowing it to show u trifle; below theni put a rutlle or lace. The other way is to omit the lace and put a tassel or small ball on each point. To anv one so unfortunate as to be obliged to move it may be of value to know that canned fruit may be transported without fear of loss if the glass cans are securely packed in sawdust. Tim must be very firmly pres.ed down, so that the cans really can not move or be moved by the jarring of the w agon or car. An entree sjecial!y designed to accompany roast pork is made in this way: Tcel as mar.y iotatoes as will cover the bottom of a dt ep pie-dh. Sprinkle halt a teaspoonful of dried saue over them. Cut a Miiail onion in thin slices and spread them over this. Add salt and tapper and little Innu s ot but ter, according to your taste. Cover the bottom of the dUh with water and bake in a moderate oven. An appetizing entree is made by taking cold tuilid cabbage, chop it line, for a medium-sized pudding dishful and two wellbeaten eggs, a tabiespojnful of butter, three tables joonfuls of cream, with pepper nd salt ad libitum. Butter the pa ldin: di-sh, put the cabbage in and bake until brown. This may be eaten cold, but it is much better if served hot. It is especially good with roast pork or pork chops. A somewhat novel way to trim a table scarf is to put three cornered pieces of silk or satin on each end. Have these pieces half a yard deep at the longest side; in the corner embroider a spray of flowers; where the satin or silk end jotns the center part of the scarf put a row of fancy stitches. A dark crimson felt scarf, with one end light blue, the other of crimson shaded to brown, is very handsome. A new and striking design for a square cover for a table is to make tho center of plain satin, then put on a deep border of the crazy patchwork, and finish with a rich fringe. Tho patchwork should not have many plain pieces in it; those of embossed or figured velvet and brocade are much effective, though the plain pieces may be ornamented with embroidery, which adds greatly to tbe beauty of the whole. A very ornamental stand cover or small table cover is made by cutting a piece of felt the exact size and shape of the table top. If the table has a scalloped or pointed top the cover must Lave also. At each point or scollop put a piece of plush or velvet; a sqnare block is preferable to any other form. Blindstitch this to the felt, and then around the edge put fancy silk stitches, and add a tassel to each point. A pin-cushion which i.s yery handsome and delicate h of blue satin, with a bauch of sweet peas painted on it; around the edge of tbe cnsbion is a plaiting of heavy blue satin ribbon. It is plaited in double-box plaits, very close together, then around the cushion white lace is laid, with the plaid edge tucked down between the plaiting and the cushion. At tbe corners it i? simply folded nicely. The etlect is lovely. A useful and even tasteful cover for the marble slab of the sideloard is made of a strip of canton flannel just the width of the slab. It should be long enough to hang over at the ends four or five inches. Trim the ends with white or colored ball fringe, and. if you wish to. a row of Kate Greemway figures mav be outlined at each end. Line the flannel with firm white cotton cloth or with turkey-red calico Top corn, with all of its associations of a good time ard innocent enjoyment, is ouce more m season, and children or young pco pie who like to experiment with it can try the following recipe for crvstalizing it: Tut into an iron kettle one tablespoonful of but ter, three tablespoon fu Is ef water, and one cupful of white sugar; boil until ready to enndy, then throw in three quarts nicely popped corn ; stir vigorously until the sugar is evenly distributed over the corn; take the kettle from the lire and stir until it cools a little, and in this way you may have each kernel separate and all coated with th? supar. Of course it must have your undivided attention from the first to prevent scorching Almonds, English walnuts, or. In fact, any nuts, are delicious prepared in mis way. FARM NOTES. Krom seven to ten sheep can be kept pro fiiamy on the land required for one cow When bens in their prime have ceased moulting and eio not lay try feeding the meat. A beef carcass weighing 1,400 pounds, and a mutton ICO are the standards in the British market. If a flllincA nrrhnrd lw wll minu) will last for forty years or more, and the crop is usually a sure one. In crossing with Cotswold sheep much depends on the capacity of tho ewe to feed her lamb, as the lambs from such cross are large in size and prow rapidly. Under the same apparent circumstances many crops do not yield so weil as others, but if careful examination be made the fault will often be found to be favoritism in giving cr.re to the growing plants. An Iowa farmer thinks there are lessons to be learned from the three wet seasons coming in succession that will strike deep into the memory of all who have struggled with water-soaked fields and incd They should warn farmers to drain their landj or seed

them largely to grass; to raise less grain anl more cattle, sheep and txzrses. It Las heretofore been supposed thtt the horn of the steer or heifer gave indications of the ape of the animal, but this is now denied by IJr. Stewart, of New York, who states that at no time is such evidence to be relied upon. It is often usual for farmers to nay a higher price for stable manure, according to value, than for any other fertilizers, for bulk does not always indicate quality. Many wagon loads of material are ImuleJ to the farm which are of little value. The centrifugal process of inakinr butter is becoming quite popular. A machine now in use in Chester County hai a capacity of about 1,000 pounds of milk per hour, and is run by water power at a speed of nearly 2,000 revolutions per minute. Sheep will eat beans unground, which is not the case with other stock (except occasionally), and when ground and feed they are among the most nutritious foods known, but in the ground or whole state beans are fed with better results when cooked. The Gardeners' Monthly says that there Lbs been planted near TainesvUIe, O., alone within the pat three years, 1,0' acres to plum trees. This looks as though the curculio&nd the people might have a supply, considering that equally as large a proportion have been planted out in other States. It is wise to make a general compost of everything about a farm that can be so utilized. The manure from poultry, sheep, horses and cattle may be mixed together,

and it the refuse from the litter, straw, leaves, and a'so the scraping, be added, the whole will serve as an excellent absorbent, for the liquids that are sometimes wasted. Mr. I.akin, of England, owned a cow which gave an average of 100 gallons of milk a year for fifteen year. Her daughter gave an average of fcoo gallons for seven years, and a grand-daughter averaged t)S0 gallons during live years. Another cow gave an average of 1040 gallons for five years. These wsra all Shorthorn stock. The best farmers never ailow land ti be idle, for with ground, as with people, idleness is productive of mischief. "Weeds will grow if no crop is planted. As soon a3 rye or wheat ha3 been harvested sow peas or some fast growing crop. Plaster applied in . con nection with this will greatly enrich com paratively poor soil. N. H. Mirror. Washing cans and pails is a very important work in the dairy, especially when tlu-y have contained sour milk. The acid iuu.- t be com pletely removed, or it will sour the next milk that is put in the cans. Want of care in this respect makes much mischief, and has much to do with the fact so bitterly complained of, viz., that ordinary farm dairy butte r sells lor seven to twelve c?ntsa pund. Good buttercan not be made frdni milk set in cans that are not perfectly cloan. The Dairy. Every garden, whether vegetable or flower, shows that those plants which have plenty of room are larger and more vigorous tha:i those which ar crowded. Every part oi tin plant receives its share 0 the sua and air. ihe richer the soil, then the more room. within certain limits, a plant requires. We should, by a thin seeding and sufficient room, have larger stems, larger Inv.ds, heavier grain or seed and an increased power of resisting disease und the attack of insoct pests. ltursl New Yorker. Hi (leren t opinions exist as to whether frozen stalks of corn should he cut at oncn or be allowed to stand. It would seem that cutting as soon lis poss'Lle wou'd be best, as trie roots are uninjurcu, ana win e:onnnue to fill the interior of the stalks with sap, which would only lead to a greater ferment It will be well for farmers to make te.-ts this winter in regard to the feeding value of frosted fod der, und see for tlemselve., for actual experi ment in the matter is worth a uookfull of theory. Tcnnsy Ivan ia Tanner. To prevent !os of roots by rotting in the cellar put a lattice on the cellar floor, raised three or four inches a'oove it. Then make a square t!ue of lattico work, and stand it in the middle of the cellar, l'laee two or three boards or a Hat lattice upright aenr-s each corner These will allow a free circulation of air from the bottom through the centers and cornels of the pile of roots, thus preventing heating and decay. At Mr Wilkinson's Urightside Kann, Holyoke, this plan is practiced with astonishing success. Home and Farm. Dr. J. E. Morris says, in reeard to trichina in swine, that it is a well-established fact that the real source of infection in swine lies ent;rely in the rat. A committee of Vienna physicians found in Moravia .".7 per cent, of rats examined trichinous; in Vienna and its environs 10 per cent, and in Lower Austria about 4 percent The well known voracity of the hog and its special fondness for meat cause it to feed upon the flesh and excrements of other animals infested with thess parasites, and especially rats and mice. To prevent trichinous swine it is highly important to cut of all the sources of disease in the diet of these animals. The modern Berkshires of the iuo?t approved strains are of large size, and possess, with due allowance for domestication, the high vitality and active habits of the wild hog, combined with the good digestive and assimilating powers which characterize all improved breeds. The only valuable improvementi made in Berkshires during tho past 100 years or more have been those obtained by judicious selections of breeding stock and improved methods of feeding and management WLenever attempts have been made to improve by crossing with the Neapolitan or the Essex the results Lave been a loss of constitutional vigor and hardiness, and that fine quality of flesh, juicy, tender, and nicely marbled with fat and lean, from which are manufactured the best hams and shoulders known in the markets of the world Swine Breeders' Manual. Some interesting experiments were made by Mr. A. G. Sharp, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, which he communicates to the Farm and Home. A fair trial with ten varieties of strawberries, raised on seventyseven rods ot ground, gave on an average a bushel of nice berries on every rod of ground. Some kinds ;:ave more than four times the amount of berries that others did with the same care nnd fertilizers The Manchester pave over six times as many berries as the lhvsident Lincoln. The plants were set in narrow rows eleven rods long. Tho follow ing whs the result from several varieties: One row of Manchester produced 10) quarts: one row of Minor's Troliiic. (i'J ouart' ; two rows of President Lincoln, 32 quarts; three rows Champion, 120 quarts; three rows Min nesota Needling, ISO quarts; three rows Cicscent Seedling, 200 t'oarts; four rows Minor's Troliiic. 276 quarts; four rows Wind sor Chief. 200 quarts; me rows ulendalo. 304 quarts: six rows Jucrnda, 330 quarts. and e.ght rows W uson. 4U quarts. At the "Zoo" lr farls. IN. Y. Witness. I In the Jardin des Tlantes, in Taris. which is something like our Zoological Gardeu, a very exciting incident happened the other day. A little boy of five years old, reaching too far over the rails of the white bears' eleu to give them a bit of cake, overbalanced himself and fell in. His nurse, who had been looking the other way for a minute, musing the little fellow and hearing the cry of affright setjup a shriek ten times as piercing, wringing her hands and bemoaning thechibl as dead. The two great clumsy bears were a good deal puzzled at the event They sniffed and snuffed ut itte boy, and finding he was not cake, retired to consider how to treat him. Now was the moment to save the paor child, but who was to do it? The company in tho gardens consisted chiefly of old people Bunning themselves on the benches, babies and nurses All at once something blue came in sight, a young workman in Iiis blouse with his tools over his shoulders, ;In a twinkling he threw down bis tools and called for a rope. Then down into the den he cansed himself to be lowered, jnst between the child and the savage beasts, He

did not lose a second in seizing the half stunned creature, and with eyes still fixed on ihe bears he shouted. "Up, comrades! np!" But then the bears became irritated. Two people in their own special den was past' a joke, and with one accord they shambled np to their visitors, growling angrily; but they were just a few seconds too late. The nurse snatched her boy with tears; the crowd mainly gathered around the workman to shaki? his hand and call him "Brave fellow!" but he only smiled, picked up his tools, and walked off.

G east's recent letter to Torter was a noble thing in its way. Its conclusion will bear frequent reproductions. He says: This very short, hastily-written and incomplete snmmary shows why and when my mind underwent a chance. I bsve no doubt now but the chance would have taken place in lrt07 if I had then made an investigation. 1 regret now that I did not miderehina. your case then as I do now. Your whole lifo since your trial, as well as your seivice before, disproves the great burden of the charges, then sustained by a Court Martial. Ah lon$as I have a voice it shall be raixed in youreupport, w ithout any reference to the effect upon roe or others. Your restoration to the Army simply, I uouM regsrd as a very inadequate and nnjiif t rcpara'ion. While men one at least have been restored to the Army because of tbelr pailanlry and wounds after conviction and sentence, not only to be dismissed bat to be confined in a Penitentiary, and when there is no doubt of their guilt, and given all their pay for tbe years they were out of the service, I can see no reaaou for your having lets. 1 hope for you a thoroun vindication, not only by Cougresa, but in the minds of your countrymen. laitlifully jours, C.

The reverend gettleman has the proposition under advisement. Kahoea, Mo., Feb. 9, 1880. I purchased five botties of your Hop Bitters of Bishop & Co. last fall, for my daughter, and am well pleased with the Bitters.

SEEK

health and avoid sickness Instead of feeling tired and worn out, instead of aches and pains, wouldn't yo'c rather feel fresh and strong? You can continue feeling miserable and good for nothing, and no one but youriclf can find fault, but if you are tired of that kind of life, you can change it if you choose. How? By getting one V)ttle of Brown Iron Bitters, and taking it regularly ccording to directions. Mansfield, Ohio, Nor. , i83i. Gentlemen : I have suffered with pain ia my side and back, and erca soreness on my breast, with shootins; pains all through my body, at. tended with great weakness, depression cf spirits, and loss of appe tite. I bare taken several different medicines, and was treated by prom, incut physicians for my liver, kid. neys, and spleen, but I Rot no relief. I thought 1 would try Brown's Iron Bitters; I have now taken one bottle and a half and am about well paia in side and back all gone; soreness all out of my breuut, and I have a good appetite, and am paining ia Strength and fiesh. It can justly be Called ticking of mtdüin. John K.Aixkxsi3. Brown's Iron Bitters is composed of Iron in soluble form; Cinchona the great tonic, together with other standard remedies, making a remarkable non-alcoholic tonic, which will cure Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Malaria,. Weakness, and relieve at Lung and Kidney diseases. NO USE FOR THEM, Concerning Certain Relic of the Vast Ioga that Have LI ad Their Day. Ceorpt Stephenson's "Rocket," and the magniäcent locomotives of to day are built upon the same general principle, yet the machine with which tbe great engineer astonished bis age is interesting now only as an illustration of the beginning of the invention. There were plasters with holes in them long before EEXSON'S CAPCUf E POROUS PLASTEH surprised rxth the public and the physicians; and tbe triumph of the Capclne is founded upon the partial successes, or the utter failure of its pre decessors. Everything of value in the old porous plaster is retained In the Capcine; butat this point alt comparison endä, and contrast begins. For example : The old plasters were slow In their action ; tne Capcine is quick and sure. The old plasters lacked the power to do more than to Impart slight, temporary relief in cases easy of treatment; the Capclne penetrates the system and permanently cures the troubles for which it is recommended. The old plasters depended for any good results they might attain, upon an accident of their makers and the naked faith of their wearers; the Benson's reaches its ends by means of the scientific combination cf the rare medicinal ingredients which it contains. In brief, the old plasters, like Stephenson's discarded engine, are switched off the track.whlle the Benson's go on its way wianin; golden opinions from all sorts of people. Yet in this very fact lies the leading danger to the people who buy and use this reliable and scientific remedy. -Hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays virtue." Imitation is the concession failure makes to success. Benson's Plasters are parodied in name and slyle. Eeware of swindles. The ftenuinc have the word CAPCINE cut in the center. Price 23 cents.
