QUESTIONS ABOUT HENS.

QUESTIONS ABOUT HENs.--J. a. l..
asks:
"Can you recommend any preparation
to induce my hens to lay, or any remedy
for gapes in young chickens
Good food, good quarters, and good
care generally help in making hens lay,
but never make that desirable result
certain. As to gapes, avigorous thrust
ing of a feather down the chicken s
throat and its sudden removal is good
way to dislodge the worms that lack OF
care in allowing them to be brooded on
moist or wet, cold ground has permitted
them to be infested with.

When we are suffering we want a
remedy that will cure at once and with
out making us sicker than before we
took it. We don't want to lose time
suffer on a sick bed, and get up with
all our faculties impaired. Avoid all
this; use Rosenheim's Stomach Bitters
the Great Western Remedy.

Dreary, dreary falls the rain,
Bringing back with double measure
Days and hours full Of pain.
Weary, weary, without cease,
Ever moaning low and sad,
AS DER earth's departed peace.
Drip, drip, still the same;
Deeper, deeper grows the gloom
Will the sun ne'er shine again:
Patter, patter, 'gainst the pane,
Like vail the miSts surround US,

Now the mist is slowly clearing,
Soon the sun will beam again
Like sign OF hope appearing.
From the heart the clouds are breaking
llluinined by the smile of joy,
Hearts forget their aching.

POSTAL CONVENTION WITH swITZER

POSTAL CONVENTION WITH SWITZER-
LAND.
Convention for the amelioration of the Postal In
tercourse between the United States of America
and the Swiss Confederation.
The post department of the United States, by
its special commissioner, John A. Kasson, esq,
and the federal council of the Swiss Confedera-
tion, by DIR. Jacques Dabs, vice-president of the
federal council and chiet of the federal post de-
partmcnt, have agreed upon the following articles
subject to ratification by the respective authori-
ties of the two countries.
Article 1. There shall be an exchange of cor
respondence between the United States of Amer
lea and the Swiss Confederation by means of their
respective post Departments, and this cores
pondence shall embrace
l. Letters, ordinary and registered.
2. Newspapers, book packets, prints of all kinds
tneluding maps, plans, engrayings, drawings,
ph 'tographs Autographs, and all other like pro-
duetlons OF mechanical processes), sheets of mu-
sic, &C., and patterns or samples of merch andise,
including grains and seeds.
Such correspondence may be exchanged,
whether originating in either of SAID countries
which these may respectively serve interme-
diaries.
Article II. The offices for exchange of mails
shall be, on the part of the United States New
York.
On the part of the Swiss Confederation: (a.)
Basle (b) Geneva fwhen the Swiss Confedera-
tion shall find it expedient.)
Inc Two ohhees, by agreement may at any
time establish additional offices of exchange.
hrucie Ill. Ihe principle IS agreed, that each
ONCE shall make its own arrangements for the
despatch of its mails to the other office by regu-
lar lines OF communication, and shall at its own
cost pay the expense of such intermediate trans
portation. 1t is also sgreed that the cost of in
ternational ocean and territorial transit of the
closed mails between the frontiers of the two
countries shall be first betrayed by that one of
the two departments which shall have obtained
from the Intermediates the most favorable pecun-
iary terms for such conveyance, and which shall
effect such transport in that case in both diree-
tions; and any amount advanced by one for
the account of the other shall be promptly rein-
bursed.

Curiosities Of American History.

+ The American political history is full
of curiosity and singular incidents. For
instance, thr of eur Presidents, all of
whom participated in the Revolution,
died on its great anniversary, the fourth
of July, namely, John Adams, Thomas
Jefferson, and James Monroe.
From 1901 to 1925 the Presidential
office was filled by Vireinians. During
the same interval, with the exception OF
four years, the Vice Presidential office
was held by citizens of New York.
OF the first six Presidents, four of
them were taken from the Office of Sec
retary of State; the other two, being the
FIRST elected. could not perform its du-
ties. From this fact rose the precedence
that makes the Secretary of State the
first office in the Cabinet, instead Of the
Secretary of the Treasury, which is the
case in Great Britain.
No less than FIVE of the greatest
American statesman were born in the
same year, 1872; Daniel Webster, John
c. Calhoun. Thomas Ii. Benton, Mar
! tin Van Buren, and Lewis Cass. From
1900 to 1860, only two persons filled
the office of Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court Of the United States. John
Marshal and Roger B Tauey
The Capitol of the United States was
located at Washington in pursuance of a
corrupt bargain, by which two or three
members of Congress, who lived ada
cent to it, and whose districts would be
greatly benefited by it,voted for the fund
| ing of the National debt for that con-
sideration.
But two men of the United States
have, as they say in Odd Fellowship.
passed through all the & chairs" been
Governors of States, held first class
foreign mission, been the head of the
Cabinet, then Vice President and Presi-
dent. Their names are Thomas jefferson
and Martin Van Buren.
Three Presidents died in office. Har-
; rison, Taylor and Lincoln.
Three persons were elected Vice Pres
idents before they became Presidents
John Adams Thomas Jefferson, and Mar
tin Van Buren,.
Three Vice Presidents died in office.
Geo. Clinton, Eldridge Gerry and Will
liam Il. King
Three Vice Presidents became Presl-
dents by the death of their Chiefs. John
Tyler, Millard Fillmore and andrew
johnson, ard every oae of them pursued
policy adverse to that of the party by
whom they were elected Two of the
Vice Presidents of the United States,
the youngest men who ever held the
Office, were indicted for treason Aaron
Burr and John G. Breekinridge, and in
each instance the Government broke
down and dismissed the case without
putting it before jury.
One Vice President, John c. Calhoun
resigned his seat as President of the
Senate to take place on the floor, where
he could have the privilege of debate,
and there elucidate his State rights views
under the Constitution.

A very singular clopement took place
In Washington township one day last
week, in which man named David
Swain and married woman named Han
nah Naulton were the principals The
young man had formerly lived in Han
nah Naulton's family, and it seems that
Mrs. Naulton had becone so completely
infatuated with the tritiing. thriftIess
fellow, that she made up her mind to go
off with him, and desert her husband
and two little children. Accordingly,
few days ago she impaired the secret to
her husband, who told her that if she
would not go, and would remain with
him, He would forgive her for what i'm
propricties she had committed. But she
was determined, and would not be per.
suaded from her intended elopement.
Her husband thereupon informed her
&hat she could not leave until debt
amounting to nearly 800 owed by Swain,
with himself as security was paid. She
Immediately sold some land she owned,
receiving a cash payment of $500, with
which she satisfied the debt and gave
Swain enough to buy him suit of new
clothes and trunk. The husband, be-
ing an exceedingly good natured man,
accompanied young Swain to town and
assisted him in the selection of a suit of
clothes. On last Friday morning at
daylight Mrs. N. took leave of her hus-
band and proceeded to the railroad sta
tion, where she was to meet Swain. They
met, had their trunks labled for Fort
Scott, Kansas, and on the arrival of the
northward bound train went on their way
rejoicing. The affair has created quite
a furry in the neighborhood.

When our troops under General Nc

of West Virginia, in May, 1861, they

reply.
"Well, then, which side are you for?"
