Much sickness, undoubtedly, with children and

CONNECTIONS.

DIR. Holloway, some fifteen years ago,
witnessing the distress occasioned sickiy
children in taking the nauseous vermi-
fuges of that day, resolved to annalyze
them, and FROM the most effective of
these remedies succeeded in separating
their active medical properties, pure,
tasteless and inodorous. Then, by
combining these with sugar, and mold
ing them into an agreeable CONNECTION,
formed the present POPULAR and KFFEc-
TIVE VERNIFUGE known as
HolIOway's Vermifuge Connections
Which have almost entirely superseded
the old nauseous Vermfuges, to the de-
light of the poor little sufferers. 1t con.
tains no calomel or other poisonous in
greiients. 81 .1. Et.szF
So highly esteemed is this popular
Vermifuge by the profession, that all
intelligent physicians who know of
them, prescribe them in preference to
other remedies, Us not only more pleas
ant to take, but more effective to cure.
Parents and guardians, having the
care of children, should keep them as q
family medicine for they not only erad-
icate Worms--those pests of childhood
but correct any arrangement of the
digestive organs, so prevalent with chill
dren.

Orchard Planting.

Within two or three years the
fruit tree business has undergone
changes amounting to q revolution.
In that time the intelligent public
mind has resolved upon an abandon
ment of at least three~fourths ofthe
kinds Of apple trees offered by MUIR
serymen. Perhaps there are not to
exceed ten kinds, if so many that are
to be classed as able to mature their
wood and stand orr porthswest win
ters. And ofthese there are not to
exceed five kinds that are to rank as
No. ones upon scale of ten and as
many of No. twos; and then twice
as many of No. threes, all Of which
may be considered standard kinds for
these parts-witA perhaps some 9TH
ers on trial that may stand all the
severe tests. The more intelligent
amateur orchard men, resolving to
be humbugged no more, have taken
the tree business in hand and applied
the severest tests to each kind, as
tested by the fortunate season of 1865,
The results are still in the crucible OF
analysis, and in due time will be CIV
en- to the public. A few Of the kinds
that are to be offered are already
known and named to the public. In
due time the results will be published
entire. In the mean time nursery
men see what is to become Of their
old stocks, and are preparing trees
under the new state of..things. Even
this year some of the unquestioned
kinds may be had Of the home nur-
series.

Of New York in Custom House, he
stated to the best of my recollection,
that he had agreed to give, or was
going to give, out of the General Or

The TENNESSEE FRANCHISE LAW

The TENNESSEE FRANCHISE LAW
DECLARED CoNsT1TUTIoNAL.-Nash-
vile, March Fl. The Supreme Court
to-day, in the case of Ridly Us. Sher-
brook, decided the Franchise Law to
be constitutional: The opinion was
read by Judge Hhackleford, Judges
Milligan and Hawking ooncurring.
The Court, after reviving the condi-
ton of the country when the Consti-
tutional Convention of 1865 assem-
bled, announced that the soveign
people have q right to altcr or abol~
ish their form of government; that
the amendments proposed by the
Convention were duly ratified that
the schedule became, for all purposes
intended, ofIlegal9 validity with the
Constitution itself; that the right to
vote is not an inalienable but poll,
tical right, subject to the control Of
the sovereign power of the people !;
that the power to limit the elective
franchise was conferred upon the
Legislature which should first assem-
BILE that power could be legally ex>
ercised at any time during the exis>
tence Of that body, and was not ex-
hausted by the passage of any law ;
that nothing appears to sustain the
allegation that the Legislature was
not legally constitutional and the law
regularly passed; that the Presiden~
tial pardon does not restore pardoned
rebels to political rights in the State
without the States consent that
both acts of the Legislature are legal.
