THE Republicans of Ohio are
greatly delighted with the suspicious
opening of the campaign at Whining
ton. The numbers in attendance,
the unexpected enthusiasm. but above
all, the character Of the speeches
have awakened the people and
aroused them from the lethargy
which had taken possession of them.
Gov. HAYES searching examination
and review of the affairs of the State
cannot fail to do much good. The
Cleveland Leader says of it:
1t deals in no forid, loosely con-
structed rhetoric, but is a plain, pre-
else and unanswerable array of facts,
supported by figures that will form an
admirable basis for the campaign. 1t
contains the text for the whole array
of argument, which, if there is any
force in logic, should make the cause
Of the Democracy hopeless. 1t points
out the fallacy Of the constant whines
of the Copperheads over the public
debt and shows that during the adj
ministration of President Grant the
expenses of the Government have I'M
dergOne the most searching scrutiny
and curtailment. and demonstrates
that the national debt is being rapidly
reduced. Turning from Federal to
State finances, Governor Hayes is, if
possible, even more explicit and un-
answerable. If after reading this
speech there is left an honest Demo.
crat with bravery enough to defend
the. shameless iniquities of our Cop
perhead Legislature, it will be because
there is no virtue in facts. Governor
Hayes has been an earnest and care
full student of the national and State
finances during the past two years,
and his deductions form a structure
against which assaults of the enemy
will be poWerless and vain.

II. L. HELMBoLD, Druggist:


Dear Str have been sufferer, for up
ward of twenty years, with gravel, blad-

time / have used various 10 edtctnal prepa-
rations, and been under the treatment of
the most emine emit physicians, experiencing
bot little relief.
Having seen your preparations extern

Extract Buchu.
did this because 1 had used all kinds of
advertised remedies, and had found them
worthless, and some quite injurious; In
fact, 1 desDst'red of ever getting well, and
determined 20 use no remedies hereafter
unless L knew of the ingredients. 1t was
this that prompted me to use your remedy.
AS you advertised that 1t was composed of
buchu, eubebs, and juniper berries, it oc-
Cured to me and my physician as an ex-
cellent combinations. and, with his advice,
after an examination o. the article, and
consulting again with the druggist, con-
cluded to thy IL. l commenced its use
about eight months ago, at which time /
was confined to my room. From the first
bottle L was astonIshed and gratlfied at
the beneficial effect, and after using 1t
three weeks was able to walk out. 1 felt
much like writing you full statement of
my case at that time, but thought my inn
provement might only lie temporary, aud
therefore concluded TO defer and see II It
would effect q perfect cure. knowing then
1t would be of greater value TO you, aud
IN ere satisfactory TO me.
am now able to report that cure IS
effected, after using the remedy for five
months.
1 have not used it any now for three
months, and feel as well in all respects as
ever 1 did.

pleasant taste and odOr, nice tonic and

to be without IL whenever occasion may
require Its use in Such affections.

One Child Killed ana ANOTHER Sc'
VerelY Injured.
A little girl, daughter Of Adam
Weber, residing on Montgomery
Street, met with a very serious accl-
dent this morning, about 10 o'clock.
She was standing on picket fence,
and by a mis-step fell. striking one OF
the sharp, pointed pickets, which IN
ficted deep and CHASTITY wound In
her abdomen, from which her bowels
protruded. After this accident oc--
CURED, the mother of the little girl
sent her two sons, aged respectively
nine and twelve years, after their un-
Gle, who was working IN the Toledo,
Wabash and Western Railway shops.
| When they got to the railroad a train
of three freig ht cars and q caboose
was moving down the road, and one
of the boys made an attempt
to get on, but was warned
off by the engineer. The train
moved a little further and coupled on
another caboose, and had started up
when the boys, thinking they could
reach the shops much quicker by rid
ing, jumped on. After going some
distance, the elder boy, who was hang
ing ON by an iron hook at the side
Of the car, thought he would alight,
and swinging his feet under the car
fell to the ground, his feet falling
across the track. He turned over once
or twice. but could not extricate HIM
self before one of the trucks passed
over, almost severing his feet just
above the ankles. He was taken to a
house and C physician called. He
fingered in great agony few hours
when death came to his relief. Nc
blame is attached to the men on the
train, as the boys had been warned to
keep away.-Fort Wayne Pemocrdt

The Kidneys.

The kidneys are two in number, situated
at the upper pant OF the lOin, surrounded
by fat, and consisting of three parts, viz:
the Anterior, the Interior, and the EXte-
rior.
The anterior absorbs. Interior consists
of tissues or veins, which serve as q de-
postt for the urine and convey II to the
exterior. The exterior is conductor ALSO
terminating in q single tube, and called
the Ureter. The ureters are connected
with the bladder.
The bladder is composed of various COW
eTings or tissues, divided into parts, viz:
the Upper, the Lower, the Nervous, and
the Mucous. The upper eXpels, the lower
retains. Many have a desire TO urinate
without the ability; others urinate with
out the ability to retain. This frequently
occurs in children.
To cure these affections, we must bring
into action the muscles which are engaged
in their various functions. If they are
neglected, Gravel or Dropsy may ensue.
The reader must also be made aware,
that, however slight may be the attack,
it is sure to affect the bodily health and
mental powers, as our flesh and blood are
supported from these sources.

THE THIRD WAR.

Kansas has already had two wars, n
war against slavery and a war against
treason. The third war Is already on
hand. Kansas has never failed. The
two wars have been severe. The third
war will settle our status. The contest
Is not urged by any one. The people
know that IL is at hand. 1t means q
fight of honesty against corruption.
That fight Is sure to come. The people
did not seek it and will not delay il.
Many times have we alluded to the
questions. Many times moro shall we
allude to them.
This is the only political question be-
fore the Republicans and the Democrats
alike. This is the question which is to
be voted for and which is to be decided
at our approaching elections.
These facts ought not to be unknown
to our readers. Intelligent men ought
20 know the critical state of Kansas af-
fairs.
There shall be no concealment on our
part. There shall be no unfairness on
our part.
Perhaps it is unnecessary to say any
thing more to thinking men. Perhaps
1t was not necessary to say even this.
Repetition is not agreeable to us, but
the old rule of iterum iterUmgue may
be necessary to make the voters of Kan
sas fully understand that an entire
change must be made in our whole pol

BUTTER MAKING.


FOR making good butter, the first
= thing Is to have good sweet pasture,
free from weeds or any growth that
will give bad lasts to the milk. Good
upland grass Is better than coarse grass
growing on wet places. Some dairy
men think chat lined IL better than un-
lined land, but this Is matter of minor
importance. Others regard the practice
of sowing plaster In spring, and repeat
ing il early in autumn, as tending to
sweeten grass. sa
Good, well selected cows are the next
requisite. E
Perfect cleanliness, from beginning
TO end, Is indispensible-the most SO,
perhaps, OF any one thing. No dirt or
dust must drop into the milk, for which
reason the animals should have q clean
place to lie on, and never be allowed to
stand in mud and manure vessels all
thoroughly washed-scald whenever
necessary to preserve perfect sweetness
Including pals, pans, pots, churns,
workers, tubs or firkins. They must be
washed clean with cold water; for If
hot water Is used first, it will curdle the
milk in the cracks or corners, and pre-
vent its washing out.
pOrtance- Bad odors will faint butter.
The dairy house should therefore be far
away from manure yards and every
thing else OF the kind. Keep tobacco
smoke of the premises.
Let the butter be well worked, so as
to press out all the buttermilk. It is
impossible to have a good article If this
is not done. Perhaps this is the most
common cause of failure. If much milk
is left in, it soon ferments and makes
rancid and worthless butter.
In laying down for winter, use net0
frkins-never use them second time; ;
and pots or jars must not be used, If
they have ever had butter in them, or
pickles or anything else that will faint
them-the faint can never be wholly
removed.
The best dairy salt is important.
Butter in hot weather must be covered
and excluded from air with saturated
brine.
