ELECTION IN CoLuMnIA.- by an extra of
the Columbia Courier, we learn that the
election in that town, on the 10Th inst, re
suited in favor of the peoples Ticket, lay Il
vote of 52S to 1874; thus making complete
route Of the regular Democratic Ticket 1t
is not stated whether the Lecompton issue
was made at the polls, nor what local ques-
tons Influenced the result san Andreas,
Independent Cal.
The above sounds like the election items
that have teen very prevalent in the Free
States for the past two years. We are glad
to know that the people in the Eureka State
can leave their daily toll long enough to give
the bogus Democratic party sound drub-
bing. The difficulty in that State has been,
that the bert class of men were too busy to
attend to politics; and suffered the political
traders to do all the elcctionecring and most
Of the voting. 1t seems by the election in
Sacramento city, and some other places, that
the people are moving, and are routing the
mis-. named democrats.

FaatsninE Properties o6 Psas and Beans.
These articles have been found, by chemical
analysis, to be rich in nitrogen. The infer
ence has been, that they would be specially
useful in supporting the waste Of the muscles
of animals, and it has been suggested that
they would be particularly Useful in the
production Of wool. They are evidently
valuable for these purposes, but not the less
valuable for the production Of fat Those
persons who have used peas for fattening
hogs, consider them worth as much as Indian
corn. In districts WHERE that grain is not
grown, very fine pork is produced from peas.

entered into between Eve East Lothian farm

Itisa matter of great importance to the
farmer not only to have the seeds on hand
for bis spring sowing, but to know that he
has genuine article. The season Of sowing
is with most crops very short in our climate,
and If u 9 first sowing be lost, the second
yields buta imperfect crop, or Is altogether
Q failure. Thousands Of dollars are lost
through seeds which have lost their vitality
through age, or which never had any on &C.
count Of imperfect ripening. The quality Of
seeds is easily tested, even in winter. Il
one has hot-bed, plant q sample in the usual
way under glass, andifthey aregood they will
germinate in . few dayG II there be no
hOt-bed, they may be planted in q, flower pot
and set upon the sill Of the window in q
warmrOom, fronting South. A few days viii
show whether they can be trusted in the field
and garden. Three or four pots upon the
window-sills viii test all the seeds the
farmer wishes to plant. II they will come
up under these favorable circumstances, new
seeds should be procured at once.

Sir John Herschel concludes that the sun is .
planet abuhtantly stored with Inhabitants, his
inference being drawn from the following argu-
ments ION the tops Of mountains Of sufficient
height at an altitude where clouds very seldom
reach TO shelter them from the direct rays q the
sun, are always found regions Of ice and snow.
Now, II the solar rays themselves conveyed an
theheat on this globe il ought to be hottest where
their course is sleast interrupted Again, nronaut.
al confirm the coldness Of the upper region Of the
atmosphere. Since, therefore, even on our eaath,
the heat Of any situation depends upon the apt
ness Of the medium to yield to the impression oI
the solar rays We have only 70 admit that, on The
sun ITSELF the elastic fluids composing its atmos.
phere and the matter on ils surface are Of such Z
nature Is not TO be capable Of any excessive AZ
fectiOn from It's own Tays Indeed, this seems b
beprOved from the copious emission Of them; ioI
Il the elastic fluids Of the atmosphere, or the mat
ter contained on the surface Of the sun were d
such nature as to admit Of any easy chemical
combination with iis rays, their emission would Be
much impeded Another, ,well.known iSct Is, tha,
the solar focus Of the largest lens thrown into the
air, viii occasion no sensible heat in the placs
where il has been kept fora considerable time,
although its power Of exciting combustion, when
proper bodies are exposed, should be sufficient to
fuse The most refractory substances Thus from
arguments based solely on the supposed physical
constitution Of that luminaEy, be dsducss ths
somewhat astonishing idea that the sun Is
inhaDited.

THERE has long cIisted public demand for an
effective purgatiyc pll which could be relied on MS

what success it accoplishes the purpose designed.
make the best of all THs -one which should have
Of the oliectioit, but all the advantages, of
every other. This his been attempted here, and
with what success wewoud respectfully submit to
the public decision. 1t has been unfortunate for
the patient hitherto that almost every purgative
medicine is acrimonious and irritating to the bow
els. This is not. Mny of them produce SO much
gripping pain and revision in the system to more
than counterbalnnce The good to be derived from
them. These pills poduce no irritation or pain,
unless il arise from previously existing obstruc-
vegetable, no harm can arise from their use any
quantity; but it is better that any medicine should
be taken iudiciously. Minute directions for their
use in the several di'eases to which they arc np-
plicabc are given on the box: Among the COM
plants which have been speedily cured by them, we
may mention Liver Complaint, in its various forms
of jauntice, indigestion, Languor and Loss of APP
petite, Iistlessncss, Initabity, Bilious Headache,
Bilious Fever, Fever and Aguc, Pain in the Side
sequence of diseased action in the liver. As an

and prepare the system for the change of seasons.
An occasional. dose STIMULATES the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, and restores the appe-
tte and vgor. Thcy purify the blood, and, by their
stimuant action on the circulatory system, reno
vate the strength Of the body, and restore the
wasted diseased energies of the whole organisna~
Hence occasional dose is advantageous,
though serious arrangement exists but un-
Necessary dosing should never be carried too far,
Is every purgativc medicine reduces the strength,
whcn taken to excess The thousand cases in which
physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but
they suggest themselves to the scason, ef every
body ;sand it is confidently believed this pill will
answer a better purpose than any thing which has
hitherto been available to mankind. When their
virtues known, the public will longer
doubt what remedy to employ when in need of
cathartc medicine. Beng sugar-wrapped, they are
pleasant to take, and being purely vegetable, no
harm can arise from their use in any quantity
