REMARKABI,E.

A gentleman in New Jersey, near Phila-
delphia, had bean for long time sick, and
was treated in The usual way for an affection
of tho lungs by Two eminent physicians
until the disease assumed such malignant
form that they declared the patien, had a
confirmed consump mption--that medicine could
do no more, and he must die. His breath
was SO affected by the disease that no one
could stay in his room but short time. AT
This stage, when all hope had fled, friend
gave him bottle Of Wistar's Bdlsam of
Wild Cherry declaring that at any raie i
could do him no harm. He took il and grew
much better. He continued the use Of il,
and by using three Or four bottles was COM
pletely cured.
We shall have the full particulars Of tho
above case in few days, duly certified, so

month or two in experimenting with models

GUIzoT, THE FRENCH PREMIER.


The following sketch of the personal ap-
pearance Of the Prime Minister of France is
from the Paris correspondence Of he Boston
Courier:
A few evenings after my arrival in Paris,
! was at party given by the American
Minister, on the occasion Of the marriage OF
young lady Of Albany-Miss Cook--with
French noblemun. was wandering
through the saloons, when my attention was
arrested by alittle, pale meagre man in black,
decorated only with ribbon of the Legion
of Honor. Pale and meagre and small as
he was, however, he had about him an air
Of command, and seemed TO receive the
universal respect which his bearing chal-
lenged. certainly did not at the moment
think Of his being a very great man. His
forehead, though high, seemed too retreating
for very profound thinker and in the deep
lines about the darkened eye lids, and in the
sallow look of his entire features, saw the
token Of such disease or weakness as is in
consistent with the idea of the great exer-
tions eff great man. But still confess
| was much pleased with the man, for,
through the lines of care and suffering,
there seemed 10 be beaming on his coun-
tenance an excellent spirit of good nature !;
and TO his benevolent lock he added such
charms Of conversation, and himself so much
the happy spirit of the party which surrounded
him, that could not help being insensibly
engaged in his favor. "That small man
convsrsing with Court Portalis," said Mr..
King, stopping to speak will, me for mo-
ment, sis Guizoi." Guizst thought IL
How little does his appearance betoken the
man who at this moment exerts greater in
fluence on The politics of Europe than al
most any other living person, and who, in
France, is almost as much of a king as Louis
Philippe.
A wonderful man is this Guizot. His
vast learning is equalled only by his great
talent and his unconquerable spirit"
The Albany Journal remarks:
Thirty-three years ago we were coming to
this city in the +" Cherry Valley Stage" which
stopping at the "Gass- House," eight miles
out, the passengers (Gen. lfald, then Cap
tain in the U. s. Army, and now Delegate
in the Constitutional Convention, being one
of us) were invited to take Wine and Cake
in horor Of gay bridal pair whose nuptials
we're being celebrated. That beautiful
bride and groom (for beautiful they were, in
face and form) are in the tomb. But a
Daughter survives. That Daughter is the
"Miss Cook"justwedded 70 French Noble
man, and whose brilliant nuptials were cele-
brated in the city Of Paris, by Ambassadors,
Premisrs, Counts, Dukes, &c. &c.
How strange are the vcissitldes and the
realities of lifo? Who could have dreamed
thai The offspring of that humble, rustic mar
riage. weuld one day take rank with the no.
bility Of France? Little, at any rate, did
,ce then imagine that we Should ever see (as
we have) daughter of that marriage, highly

NEWSPAPER FARMING.

WHEAT IN OHIo.-'rhe following is given
by some Of the Ohio agricultural papers, as
the aggregate amount Of several wheat crops
Of the State of Ohio, during the four past
years; and shows very strikingy the lmpov-
erishng system Of farming, which too much
prevails there as well as elsewhere:
Crop Of lS42 bushels 25, 3s7, 429
81 do. lS43 l0,766,705
do. 1914 l5,969,000
do. ls45 l2,OoO,00O
There is an agricultural publication al Co
lumbus Ohio, which abounds with paragraphs
of this nature. have no doubt that this
statement may be traced 10 bis col
umns. His object is perfectly transparent
to impress On his readers the Importance OF
learning agriculture from bis pages.
There is no reason 10 believe, and | defy
auy man 10 furnish the proof Of the fact that
tho wheat crop Of Ohio has ever diminished,
except SO far asits yield mly be affected by
.unfavorahle seasons, since Ohio has raised
wheat TO any extent. Some Of the returns
in the above table are patent office estimates,
and if the census statistics of lS40, came
short Of the actual crops, what reliance can
be placed on s,atem5nls nude at Washing
ton City, by persons who never were in this
state. Tie wheat crop Of Ohio in either
lS45 or 1916 was undoubtedly fifty per cent
larger than the official return of lS40 repre-. :.
sented itatlhai date. More land is being O.
pencd for cultivation every year, and seasons
being equally favorable, each year affords ia
any given region Of Ohio. more bushels from
the acre than the previous harvest, owing TO
The closer pillage, which an increase ia la
Dor force affords, and which our enlarging
populationis supplying in abundance. Cist's
