These Pills, so celebrated many years ago in
Paris, for the relief of fem ale Irregularities, and
afterwards for their criminal ON p 10y ment in the

in comparative obscurity from the fact that the

Married "Eull Up"

In Virginia, where the law fixed the mar
riage fee at one dollar, there is a,reminiscence
OF couple who many years ago called on
a parson and requested nun to marry
them.
Where is my fee p said the old func
sionery.
The parties who were TO unite their for
tunes did 80 at ouce, aud found the joint
amount to be twenty-five cents.
81 can't marry you for that srm,' said the
irste old gentleman.
"a little bit of service will go long way,
suggested the male applicant.
ooh, no" said the parson; "you don't pay
for the size of the bill but for the good you
hope it will do you"
The lass, intent on marriage began to
weep, but the pArson was memorable, and
the couple turned sadly to depart. just
then q happy thought seemed to strike the
forlorn maiden, and she turned and cried
through her tears
please, sir, if you can't marry us full mp
wont you marry us twenty-five cents worth?
We can come for the rest some other tim e
This was too much for the parson. He
married them "full up" and they went on
their way rejoicing.

THE temperance in different parts OF

the Seventeen year locust" furnishes
another confederation Of the supposed
seventeen year habits of these cheerful de

vast swArms Of locusts overspread many
counties in Illinois, devouring almost every
green thing, and stripping whole forests OF
their summer foliage. Another not worthy
circumstance connected with that locust
visitation is the fact that the summer of
1854 is still remembered rs one of the
hottest summers ever experienced IN this
region. The cheated term" began early
and continued late. The present season.

wedding Potatoes with sheep.

1t may not be known to farmers in general
that it is a common practice In some OF the
potato growing districts to turn tiocks of
sheep in the potato fields for the purpose OF
eating down the weeds. The sheep will not
touch potato vine. This pasturing with
sheep is very advantageous when the crop
ia late planted one, so that the hoeing can
NOS be completed until the hNying or har-
vesting is finished. At the growing season,
1t is the planters aim to keep down the
grass and weeds 80 that they may be Gov
cred with dirt by q cultivatov and hoe, when
these are used. Pasturing with sheep will
attain this object. Early planted crops, the
cultivation of which is completed il the first
half Of the summer, frequently become gras-
sy and weedy before the time of dig.
cling, when the size Of the tops precludes
cultivation. In this stage the sheep are
economical weeders. II is hardly necessary
to mention that the feed thus given to the
sheep makes double profit, inasmuch as it
costs absolutely nothing, while labor is
saved and weeds prevented from seeding

MAKE a PRICE, OR FOOT TT

A raid which was made upon the cab
drivers by the police, in order to regulate
the rates of fare in accordance with an
old ordinance, has created some indic-
nant ventilation in quarters chrouically
addicted to complaining. This is a mere
spasm on both Sides The police can
not correct this evil, and the cab drivers
will get over their fury when they dis
cover that little inquiry as to their
questionable practices is likely to do
them considerable harm. This country
is too free to be without evils, for when
it is considered that a combination of
cabbies might upset ambitions chariot,
the driver Of the more pretentious vehicle
will be very careful not to collide with
roadster that might prove an ugly Gus
toner in close quarters. The only thing
the police can do is to see that the tariff
of charges is displayed in the cabs and
carriages on hire about the city, so far as
this can be done by them without inter
fering with their other duties. After
that the public must protect itself.

police generally are, they must suffer the
effects of their own nfrmity. There is
very simple remedy against extortion,
and that is in an affidavit before the
Recorders. This, if it is properly pro-
secuted, will arrest an abuse and punish
an offender both promptly and suffi-
GENTLY. As to the cabmen they will al
ways act their natures mean man will
forever try to cheat his neighbor in the
charge, while just man will rather go
home empty handed than take to his
honest house the money that was made
by fraud. Some of our first and best
have suffered from this evil, and some of
our last and worst have fallen prey to
its rapacity. Here and there reprisals
have followed the offender in the shape
of an arrest, but as general rule all
classes act upon this rule, to either make
proper bargain first Or to foot it. Either
expedient will usually suffice to protect
the traveller.

ALL FOR LACK OF DISCIPLINE.

Before Speaker Carter had been in the
chair Of the House many days last winter,
he found it very difficult matter to pre-
serve that order and decorum which are
popularity supposed to belong to delber-
ative bodies. The same fate has followed
him into the editorial chair of the .Vottonal
Republican. Colonel Carter evidently
is no disciplinarian. He is surrounded
by class Of hangers-on who are too glad
OF an opportunity to perpetrate and pub
fish ibels and ISLANDERS in the name OF
their chief. \ card in that paper yester-
day morning, signed by the editor, in
forms the public that large number Of
articles, embracing something less than
twenty distinct references to the acts of
prominent members of the Republican
party, were struggled in by some means
unknown to any proper authority about
the office. This shows woeful lack df
