Weed that Causes the Milk Sickness.
IFrom the St Louis Democrat, February 26.l

From the st. Louis Democrat, February 26.l
Mr.. William Jerry, of Madison
County, Illinois, claims to have dis
covered that the dreadful malady
above named is caused by specific
weed, and sends to us the following
description Of the dangerous herb +:
tcomes up in April or early in May,
with a stem about the size of a wild
nettle-say one-fourth to half an inch
In diameter. When from one to two
feet high it throws out branches three
or four inches apart, and minor
branches in the same way from each
branch, till near the top, when they
all branch out with from six to twelve
or more small flores in branches, and
each Of these has small white bios
som that usually appears in July,
blossoms until frost ia the tall. Tho
plant grows from two to four feet
high, and when in full bloom presents
a pretty white color The manner in
which the small branches leave the
main stem is sufficient to distinguish
it. The branches on this weed come
out directly opposite each other on
the main stem it almost universally
has two branches at the same place
and some stalks have three. the leaves
come from the main stem under each
bi anch and arc from two to four in
chcs in length, including the stem
1t may be well to mention in connec
tion with the description ofthis weed
that there is in many places where
this milk sick weed is found growing
another weed that has at first sight
when in full bloom very nearly the
appearance, and grows on out and
vacant lands but its. main branches
leaves arc different, so also the taste
and smell. Mr. Jerry's residence is
four miles southwest of Edwards.

Men Wanted.

The great want Of this age is men.
Men who are not for sale. Men who
are honest, sound from center to cir
conference, true to the hearts core.
Men who will condemn wrong in
friends or foe. Men whose conscien-
ces are steady at the needles to the
pole. Men who will stand for the
rights if the heavens totter and the
earth reels. Men who can tell the
truth. Men who neither bray nor
run. Men who neither swagger nor
finch. Men who can have courage
without whisting for it. Men car
less of mans applause. Men too
large for sectarian limits, and too
strong for sectarian bands. Men who
do not strive, not cry, nor cause their
voIces to be heard in the streets, and
who will not fail nor be discouraged.
Men who know their message and
tell it. Men who know their duty
and do it. Men who know their
place and fill it.
