JOSH BILILsGs on BED BUGs.-I new
er see ennybody yet but what despized
bed bugs. They are mcanest ov aul
crawling, creeping, hopping, or biteing
things.
They dassent tackle a man hi dalite,
but sneak in, after dark, and claw him
while he IL fast asleep.
\ muskcto will fight you in broad da-
light, at short range. and Civ you a
chance tew knock in his sides-the flea is
Il game bug, and will make a dash at you
even in BrOadway-but the bed bugg il
Il garrc ter who waits till you strip, and
then picks out mellow place tew eat
you.
III waz ever in the habit on swearing
wouldn't hesitate tew damn bed bugg
right tew IL face.
Bed buggs are uncommon smart in a
small way one pair of them will stock
4 hair mattrass in 2 weeks with buggs
enuff tew last a small family a hole year.
1t don't do emmy good to pray when
bed bugs are in season the only way
to gitrid ov them is tew pile up the
whole bed in aqua fortis, and then heave
it away and buy new one
Bed buggs, when they have grone aul
they intend to, are above the size ov a
blueiay's eye, and hav a brown complex
ion and when they start ont to garrote
are az thin az grease spot, but when they
git thru garroting they are swelled up
like blister.
If bed buggs hav emmy destiny to fill, ii
must be their stummuks, but it seems
tew me that they must hav bin made by
acksident, just az shvyers are, tcw stick
into sumboddy.
Ifthcy waz got up for sum wise pur-
pose, they must hay took the wrong
roai, for there kant be emmy wistlum III
chawing a man aul night long, and rails
ing family, besides, tew foller the
same trade.
II thare iz sum wisdum in aul this, !
hope the buggs will chaw them folks
who kan see it, and leave me be, bekauSe

The indications that DR.. Livingstone
is alive, seems to strengthen, though the
apprehensions that he is dead, are fal
from being dispelled. Three natives
have testified to seeing a white man; who
from their descriptions, can be no one
else but Livingstone, in the far interior
evidently making his way toward the
twin Nvanza lakes, the sources of the
Nile. They met him several months Ia
ter tkan the date of his supposed death
They also say that he gave letters to tho
head man of a caravan, TO take to the
British diplomatic representative on the
east coast of Africa. This man, who Is
well known to the natives on the coast
was expected to arrive in November
If he has come to time, and has the let

PUMPING WATER
GRINDING GRAIN
The Cheapest Power
Known to the World

There are hundreds of large, well watered stock
farms in the country which the owners value fully
one thousand dollars more than if they were not
thus provided with water. 1t is high time, there
fore, for the great Agricultural Interest of the
country, that the farmers of the northwest should
be made aware of the fact that all the high and
dry prairies of the country, by the use Of this
cheap and simple device, can be made good stock
farms, and really more valuable than those pos
sessing these natural advantages for water, for
there is waste land, and the water can be pro.
vded directly at the points desired in farm yards
and pastures.
Where is the farmer. then, that after knowing
he can thus increase the real value of his farm
from $500 to 81 ,000 will be content to make a
drudge of himself or employees by pumping wa
ter for stock?
After ten years experience in building and
recting many hundreds of these machines, and
Intensive acquaintance with the various attempts
made within the last thirty years to construct n
self-regulating Wind Machine, we most fully be-
ieve that nothing has been oiFeed to the
public equal to Halladays Improved Mill.
They are so simple in their construction that
any common Joiner erect then. and attach
common farm yard pump. They can be stopped
instantly by means of a lever on the upright tim
Der supporting the mill, and can be SO arranged
that float will stop the Mill when tho tank is
full and start themselves again when the water is
used

A local politician, of the radical persua-
sion, was recently heard to say that he was
for Vice President; so that, if the former did
not fill the radical bill, they might kill him
off and put the latter in his place. Did
such q spirit on the part of the Jacobins
have anything to do with the assassination
of Lincoln, trusting in the threats of John
son against the traitors of the south?

of the war, which, he says, has accomplish

that it did not decide their capability of be-
coming politically or socially the equals of
the whites. He thinks that if negro suffrage
is inevitable, it should be guarded by a
