The PoINr.-The following advice to
persons who wish to see their writings in
print is decidedly the best thing on the
subject we have ever read. 1t is from the
Marshall Times: %
We cannot give up our space to anything
in the line of essay or musings, or reflect
ions-unless it should possess extraordinary
merit. Write US some fact, incident or trans
action which has happened in your vicinity
of sufficient importance to justify publica-
ton, and you will deserve and receive our
heartiest thanks. Write something about
your county or about your township. There
are an abundance Of excellent topics-the
soil, crops, business chances, accidents,
incidents, &c., &c.-upon which informa-
ton will be valuable. We have several
pounds of essays, sermons, &C., in our
library, including those of Bacon. Some
Of them are of the highest merit, but cur
readers would find them dull and prosy in
a newspaper. So Of original poetry. 1t
must possess extraordinary merit, or we
don't want it. And we don't want it very
badly even then! If you can't do bet
ter, break your leg or arm, and send US
word and we will publish it.
Do you see the point?

II it be deemed advisable to grant a
p'a sion to Mrs. Lincoln, let the reason for

intsoducing his bill for that purpose, rest
ed II on the ground that Mr.. Lincoln was

must have required an unusual amount OF
hardihood in senator to make such a
statement in the United States senate. 1t

Mrs. Lincoln to a pension. and that, if

As to the general disposition in regard
TO Mrs. Lincoln, Taxpayers of the country
would make no objections on economical
grounds to granting her pension. Their
respect for Mr.. Lincoln's memory would

gross derives no authority from this fact.

There is no mistake about it, PLANTA-
TIoN BITTERs will ward off Fever and
Ague and all kindred diseases, if used in
time. No family need suffer from this
distressing complaint if they will keep
PLANTATION Buffers in the house, and
use it according to directions. The most
important ingredient of this medicine is
Calisaya or Peruvian Bark, which is known
to be the finest and purest tonic in the
vegetable kingdom. The extract of this
Bark is the active principle of all the
good Fever and Ague Medicines pre-
scribed by intelligent doctors. Calisaya
Bark is used extensively in the manufac-
ture Of PLANTATION BlTsERs, as we'll as
quinine, and we dare say they owe their
popularity mostly to that fact. We can
recommend them.

TRIM Your WIcKs.-The coal oil fend
is killing its victims constantly. Anything
which will avert the danger, should be
known. The Burlington argus says:
''The explosion is caused by a practice
of neglecting to cut off the charred por-
tons Of the wick when the lamp is filled /;
observation will show that in few days
use, the wick becomes charcoal in compo-
sition for an inch below the top of the
tube containing it, and after the lamps
has burned short time, the heated tube
fires all the charred portion of the wick
inside, and that sets the oil on FIRE below.
This may be prevented by cutting off a
sufficient portion of the charred wick each
day after using the lamp"

much that an accident of any Importance
rarely occurs. The gentlemanly mana

deavors are to make it what it is, both in
speed, comfort and safety Of travel, equal
to any other road now running. The i'm

principal points of his measure are the
repeal of all parts of that act which relate
to the tenure of cabinet-ofhcers, and i'm
portant modification of the law relating to
suspensions for cause. Under the proposed
act the President will report that an officer
is suspended for cause. The bonus of
demanding an investigation is thrown on
the officer so suspended. If within forty
days the officer files such written demand,
the President must furnish the charges,
and the Senate confirms or amends such
suspension. If not made within this time,
the suspension amounts to full removal.
