There are many persons who can
not speak in sensible, commonplace
terms-tbey are always on stills, and
aim to carve out their language in
blank verse. Instead Of simply say
ing, "He acknowledges the corn," they
would render it about thus:
He doth, by troth, with most ingenious humor,
Confess tn impeachment common fame hath

That with it carries conviction to the maize.

DAILY IMMERSION OF THE HEAD
DR.. Bissell, one of the quarantine
physicians at Staten Island, states it
his opinion, 'that if PERSONS hair
is washed and combed every day,
he is not liable to disease, becaese
cleanliness of the person is always
a preventative. If a man were at
work all day in the vicinity OF the
sick, and his hair wet with perspi-
ration, the doctor don't think he
would get the disease; but if he
let his hair get dry and matted,
he thinks he could not very well
escape. The Norfolk Herald copies
the foregoing, and adds the following
corroberative testimony: 80 i'm
portant a result from so simple a
cause may seem incredible to many,
but not to us. There is not a more
efectual preventative of disease than
the immersion Of the head in cold
water every morning the year round.
We know an old gentleman, now
on the rise of seventy. He was o.!
rather a weekly constitution, and
particularly iiabls to attacks of bill
lious fever, violent colds and headache,
but having heard that the best preven-
tive of headach was to wash the head
in cold water every moning5 immedi-
ately after rising, he theu common
ced the practice. and has continued
it to the present time, and during the
interval of forty years, has never
had the bilious fever; hardly knows
what the headache is and thought
sometimes taking cold,has never had
a cold that hindered him from attend
ing to bis ordinary affairs, add to this,
he passed uuscathed through the ter
rible epidemic of 1855. In other re-
spects he has lived, ate and drank as
other people do, and has been rather
inattentive to matters of hygiene.

How 10 Conquer Vicious Cows and
Horses,
A writer in the Genesse. Farmer

A writer in the Genesso. Farmer
says:
| care not how vicious or unman-
ageabIe the horse or COW may have
become, ! Can conquer them by the
application Of a strong rope or chain
just back of the fore legs, and
twisting in a good lever until they
yield iully. Balky horses may be
conquered in this manner so as TO
need DO whipping, and it is much
more humane than clubbing them,
OF cutting them up with torturiDg
whips. And a horse once conquered
IN this manner will not return to
his tricks with the same driver as
readily as when overcome by whip
ping or mauling.
Cows may be conquered in the
same manner, and broken Of the
habit Of kicking very readily. One of
my neighbors had very vicious
COW, last spring, which they had fail.
ed in milking after the most deter
mined efforts to succeed. happen
ed to hear the fact one day, and told
them how to manage her, when 10,
no more trouble was experienced.
In the course of the summer they
have occasionally laid chain across
her back when she had manifested
any intimation of returning to old
habits. Effectual as is this manner
ofovercoming vicious propensities, it
is more humane than any other in
which force is used.
This is alse very effectu al manner
Of subduing horses ugly in shoeing.
Tue smith can make the widest
mustang stand peaceably by using the
chain and lever, and the lesson will
not soon he uDlearned. Lay aside,
then, your clubs and whips for the
purposes named, and resort to the
method herein described, and save
yourself time, trouble and vexation
of spirit, nor reject it because it
was not learned from your father. or
in some conversation instead Of from
the pages of an agricultural journal.

The Railroads.

SO far as we have noticed the press
throughout the State, since the ad journnent
OF the Legislature, have taken ground in IA
Vor OF the completion Of our railroads al
ready commenced. We are gratifed a, this
and hope they will discuss the matter calmly
and with view TO the best interest of the
people. Let The members of the Legsla-
ture, from each county, canvass the matter:
they have plenty of time-and when they
return in the fall, they can act according
to the will of the people"
The railroad system is tottering-it has
been lost sight of, and political questions
OF an exciting character rased-the best in
terests of the people have been neglected.
There seemed, last winter, local preju-
dice sprung up when State policy was ad-
vanced, and men who could not have their
local interest "hitched on" TO State policy,
became child-like-stubborn, and would
vote against any policy calculated to advance
the great and growing interest Of the State.
This was a mistaken policy and must be
abolished, or Missouri will be bankrupt
If the adjourned session meet in the fall and
do not drop local legislation, it would be
better they stay at home. The roads must
be completed, or sold in an uncompleted
state at great sacrifice. and the people left
to foot the bill Of the nice little sum of $24,-
100000. Which will be done? Complete
them or sell them? We say complete them.
There is not pioneer or farmer, mechanic
laboring man, who has noticed the progress
Of the State since the commencement of our
railroads.&c. increase in population, wealth
and development of Its hid len treasures,
but what will say complete them. Stop now
and you bring on direct tax that will keep
immigration from the State, which will take
years 10 overcome.
Complete them, and immigration will con
tinue to pour in among us. Farms will be
opened, manufactures Of every kind will be
increasing and taxation will be lighter.
We regret the suggestions of our Gov
eminent were lost sight OF on these CUES.
tions, and hope that when the Legislature
returns, they will, If they cannot grant aid
to roads they think "will not pay" make
arrangements for their sale, and grant aid
to the roads they know must, from their To-
cality and from the country through which
they run, pay, and save the State at least
half the amount already expended. We
shall continue this subject at every conve-
nlent time.

Ague Cure,
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF


Intermittent Fever, or Fever and Ague,
Remittent Fever, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache, or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Fevers, indeed
for the whole class of diseases Origi-
mating in hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the
necessities of the American people than a sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled to offer, with perfect
certainty that it will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
no harm can arise from its use in any guam
tity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Prevention is
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks of
this baleful distemper. This "CuRE" expels
the miasmatic poison of FEVER AND AaUE
from the system and prevents the develop
ment of the disease, if taken on the first APP
proach of its premonitory symptoms. 1t is
not only the best remedy ever yet discovered
for this class of complaints, but also the
cheapest. The large quantity We supply for
q dollar brings it within the reach of every
body; and in bilious districts, where FEVER
AND AGuE prevails, every body should have it
and use it freely both for cure and protection.
1t is hoped this price will place it within the
reach of all-the poor as well as the rich. A
great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and GER
tain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral, consequently it pro-
duces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as if they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Agueis not alone the consequence
of the miasmatic poison. A great variety Of
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache,
blindness. Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth-
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection of the
Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Cole,
Paralysis and Derangement of the Stomach,
oil of which, when originating in this cause,
put on the intermittent type, Or become period
ical. This " CURE" expels the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them all
alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to immi-
grants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken
occasionally or daily while exposed to the in
lection, that will be excreted from the system,
and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
to ripen into disease. Hence it is even more
valuable for protection than cure. and few will
ever suffer from Intermittents, if they avail
themselves Of the protection this remedy af-
fords.

are so composed that disease within the range of
their action can rarely withstand or evadc them.
Their penetrating properties search, and cleanse,
and invigorate every portion of the human organ
ism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring
its healthy yitalities. As consequence of these
properties, the invalid who is bowed down with
pain or physical debility is astonished to find his
health or energy restored by remedy at once so
simple and inviting.
Not only do they cure the everyday complaints
of every body, but also many formidable and
dangerous diseases. The agent below named is
pleased to furnish gratis my American Almanac,
containing certificates of their cures and directions
for their use in the following complaints: Costire-
ness, Heartburn, Headache arising from diSordered
Stomach, Nausea. Indigestion, Pam in and Morbid
Inaction Of The BoiceIs F7atulency, Loss of Appe-
lite, Jaundice, and other kindred complaints
arising from low state of the body or obstruction
of its functions. They are an excellent alternative
for the renovation Of the blood and the restora-
ton Of tone and strength to the system debitated
