When thou dost write for lIis paper, never
say unto him "What thinkest thou of NY

Il is not ft that thou shouldst ask him who
Is the author Of an article, for mis- duty requires
him TO keep such ihings TO himself
When thou d0st enter into his Office have

UeaIth,S Rest Defence.

THE weak eateth berss," says st. Paul, SC
that eighteen hundred years ago the value Of
medicinal plants was appreciated. In the Old
Testament botanical remedies are repeatedly
recommended, but in no passage Of sacred his
tory is man recommended to swallow calOmel,
or blue pill, or any other mineral preparation.
The sick were directed to eat herbs to strength
en- them, to purify them, to heal them, to re-
store them. In that day the art Of making
vegetable extracts was unknown. The herbal
medicines were mere infusons.
twas reserved for later age TO unite the
sanitary essences OF tonic aperient and anti
bilious roots, barks, and plants, with an active
stimulant, and thus secure their rapid diffusion
through the debilitated or disordered system
The browning triumph OF this effective mode
of concentrating and applying the virtues OF
medicinal vegetables was achieved in the pro-
ductiOn of HOstetter's Stomach Btters. Never
before had perfectly pure alcoholic stimulent
been combined with the expressed juices OF the
finest specifics OF the vegetable kingdom.
Never yet, though eighteen Years have elapsed
since it's introduction has this great restorative
chimes, as the most potent safeguard against
epidemics as protection against all unhealthy
exhalatiOns that produce debility or boget dis
ease; as a remedy for intormittant and other
maarious fcvers rs an appetizer; as sover
eign cure for dyspepsia as general tsnlc and
invigOrant as gentle, painless aperlent; as
blood depurent as a nervine; as cure fOl
bilious affections; as harmless anodyne; and
az tho BEST DEFENCE OF HEALTH under unfavor'
ebe circumstances, such as sedentary pursuits
undue bodily or mental eX6rtiOn, halushlp, pIl
walton and exposure.

Arriving at the door of the house she

she ventured forth.

Boys, three cheers for Elizabeth
Zane.
The Indians kept up the seige all the
next night and day. On the third day,
despairing of success, they raised the
seige and Ietreated across the Onic

Miss Zane afterwards became the wife

The Complexion.

Nothing is more essential to beauty than.a
clear aud beautiful complexion. Any disease
of the skin in the way of pimples, blotches, &C.,
defaces the most regular features and detracts
from the otherwise most captivating form.
These skin diseases all result from some inpu'
rity in the blood and this impurity must be re-
moved before nature will properly do its work
"IRISIN," the great blood purifier, acts directly
on the blood and is the best remedy and anti
dote for poisons in the vital current ever dis
covered. For diseases peculiar to women it has
no equal. Try it. decls-lmdAw

OLD RELIABLE.-Ths Hudson Star d
Times, of the 18Th ut, in speaking of
the route of the West Wisconsin Rail
way makes tho following positive asser-
ton:
This will bring the road within 40
miles of this city, aud will insure its COM
pletion here early next season. We had
thought that a feasible route might be
found ria River Falls, and thence here;
and we still think such line may be
adopted. As TO Prescott, there is no use
of talking. She is without hope in the
world.
Now read what the Star & Times said
last week in an article on tho Same sub
jet:
The exact route of the road is not de-
iermined. Tho engineers are now loca
ting between Eau Claire and Menomonie,
and looking up crossing at the MemOm
,uie river. People who ARE anxious 10
know lust where the road will run, will
have 10 ''wait little longer"
There s consistency for you.
AS with the little joker, "now you see
it. and now you DON'T" SO with thes =
Hudson editors, now we know 1t, and now
we don't know it.

FenIan raid ON Canada.

Our Fenian fellow. citizens are becom-
me- troublesome. They are agitating
our Caauek friends over the border TO
nm alarming extent. A few hundred
Irish liberatsrs swept across the Vermont
kne last week had a little sbindy, and
got licked. They dispersed in good or
der. Two FeGians were killed in n skir-
mish near St. Adams and several wound
ed. Gen. O'Neil "lhe noblest patriot
of them ALL" was arrested by the U. S.
Marshal and If gloriousiy incarcerated in
Burlington bastile. The Fenians are
well nigh demvralized and a retreat is ex-
pected. Where is Geo. FraEcis Train !!
Why don't he fire tho Fenian heart p
We learn by the kilograms from the
seat Of war that His Royal 'ighness Prince
Arthur in on his way to the front. He
breathes vengeance upon the devoted
Fenians, and it is currently reported that
his last words TO his regiment, the
sQueon's Own" as they went on ahead,
were: Soldiers, Henglaud hexpects hevery
man to DO is jooty. Give them Hirish
Finnegans bloody 'cll-straight frOln the
shoulder"
This decree is looked upon as final and
the worst may be expected. Nothing
can now save the Fcnians but their legs
and latest adyices inform us that they arc
diligently using this means TO reach a
place of safety, with the Lappicst results.

The AssEssMENT.-From a corrected
statement of the state assessment publish
ed in tho State Journal, we learn that
the Board, by vote passed short time
prior TO adjournment, made several
changes in the statements first published,
of the valuation of farming lands. Thus
Pierce county, instead of being put down
at $40 as we stated last week is placed
at $3.50 per acre. The property valua-
ton Of this county rs returned by The
clerk of the board of Supervisors was
So. S34. S5s, which was equalized by the
board of assessment at 81, 0S5 g.. The
proportion of real and personal property
is as follows: personal property, S743,
7SS; real estate So, 34l,s93. In con-
eiusiOn, the Journal says: $50 manv
changes were made BY the Board Of As
sessment and its committees, on so many
different principles, and the figuring for
them had 10 be done so hurriedly that it
was almost impossible TO avoid mistakes,
and when the liability Of mistakes in
copying, setting up and proof reading is
added, statement free from error is al.
most impossible. At least none has been
published yet"
