The decline goes on slowly at this
point, but the riveris falling more rapidly
above. The fall here will increase from
henceforth, and in a few days we may
hope for it to assume its old position IN
side the banks. Our dispatches give the
latest news from above. We have nothing
of especial interest from White river or
the Arkansas. Both streams are again

TO ALL WHO CAN READ.
The Weekly Sun Doubled in Size Withou
Increase in Price.

The Weekly Sun Doubled in Size Without
Increase IN Price.
With the beginning of the year 1872
THE WEEKLY Sun will be double its
present size, and will contain eight
pages instead of four, making it equal
in dimensions to any other weekly secular
journal published in this country. At
the same time it's price will not be in
creased. It will be furnished to sub
scribers at the uniform rate of one dol
lar a year for each copy. To this rate
no exception will be made and no re-
duction will be possible, either to clubs
or agents. Every subscriber who sends
a dollar will receive a copy for a year.
While THE WEEKLY SUN will thus fur
nish as much reading matter as other
papers published at double or treble the
price, it will contain new features which
will add greatly to its interest and value
as a family newspaper. Its indepen-
dence of opinion and its unqualified
hostility to Tweedism and Grantism,
and every form of public robbery,
bribery, and corruption will be main
tanned, while in point of political news
readers may rely upon always receiving
the most accurate as we'll as the freshest
intelligence hat can possibly be OBJ
tanned. The enlargement will also enable
us to devote additional space to valuable
agricultural intelligence, and to print in
teresting stories and a more ex-
tensively than hitherto. For miscel-
JanoN1Ic raoIinn nrncontio ~ Tho o1lo1-&
and humorous aspects of life, and for
useful information respecting not only
what takes place in this metropolis and
this country, but in all other parts of
the world, we shall now nave ample
room.
In its new form The WEEKLY Sun will
be the cheapest paper of its class in the
United States and we appeal to such
of our readers as approve its ideas and
objects, and find it interestingand valu-
able, not only to renew their own SUBJ
scriptions, but to recommend the paper
to their friends and neighbors.
The coming year is destined to be a
memorable one in the history of the
country. We are on the eve of a most
significant Presidential election, and
political movements will for many
months be watched with unusual inter-
est. As a journal free from the trammels
of party, The WEEKLY SUN will continue
to uphold the principle of true repub-
lican government. Its readers are in
vited to sustain it in this work. The
truth, irrespective of party prejudice or
official influence, will always be told in
its columns.

Peril and Precautiou.

This is a season that tries the frame and the consti-
tuition. If there be a weak spot in either, the chilling
damps, the malarious fogs, the varieties of temporal
ture that mark tho commencement of the winter sea-
son are sure to find it out. There are few systems that
have not a weak spot somewhere. and the wisest thing
that any man or woman can do is to fortify it by a
course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. and thus keep
the Q. envy at bay. In war. when a city is menaced,
the first thing done is to strengthen the rsmparts.
The same policy should be adopted witt the human
body, when its direst foe, malaria. is abroad.
If the stomach is weak, this tonic
will lend it vigor; if the bowels are morbidly
sensitive. this Alternative will regulate themi
if the liver is inert, this wholesome stimulant will
rouse it; if there is constipation, this aperient will
cure it if there is nervous debility, this nervine will
replace it with nervous vigor; if there is impurity in
the blood, this depurent will n~eutralize it; if there is
a cloud on the spirits. this exhilarant will dispel it.
These are facts that have been demonstrated every
day for the last twenty years. Can as much be said
for ans other medicine-or rather, can as much be
prOvedf-for anything may be said by the unscrupu-
lous. Do not accept any of the LEGAL bitters some
times recommended by dealers in lieu OF the Standard
Restorative.

Poisoned to Death.

A healthy liver secretes each day
about two and a half pounds of bile,
which contains a great amount of waste
material taken from the blood. When
the liver becomes torpid or congested,
it fails to eliminate this vast amount OF
noxious substance, which, therefore, re-
mains to poison the blood and be con-
veyed to every part of the system.
What must be the condition of the
each day two and a half pounds of
poison? Nature tries to work off this
poison through other channels and or
gans-the kidneys, lungs, skin, etc. I;
but these organs become overtaXed in
performing this labor, in addition to
their natural functions, and cannot long
withstand the pressure, but become va
riously diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical
centre of all vitality, is unduly stimu-
lated by the unhealthy blood which
passes to it from the heart, and it fails
to perform its Office beautifully. Hence
the symptoms of bile poisoning, which
are dizziness, headache, incapacity to
keep the mind on any subject, impair
ment of memory, dizzy, sleepy, or nerv-
Gus feelings, gloomy f~orebodings and ir-
ritability of temper. The blood itself be-
ing diseased, as it forms the sweat upon
the surface of the skin, it is so irritating
and poisonous that it produces discol-
ored brown spots, pimples, blotches,
and other eruptions, Sores, boils, car
buncles, and scrofulous tumors. The
stomach, bowels, and other organs
spoken of, cannot escape becoming at
fected, sooner or later, and costiveness,
piles, dropsy, dyspepsia, diarrhoea, fe-
male weakness, and many other forms
of chronic disease, are among the neces-
sary results. AS a remedy for all these
various manifestations of disease, DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is
positively unequaled. By it the liver
and stomach are changed to an active,
healthy state, the appetite regulated
and restored, the blood and secretions
thoroughly purified and enriched, and
the whole system renovated and built
up anew. Sold by all irst-class drug
gists. 576

How Childrens Lives are Wasted.

Hearth and Home has a very timely
article on instruction in schools, from
which the following is extracted
We nave in mind one Jack, who is
fast adding his small brain over the his
tory of his country. The subject doesn't
displease him. He likes that, especially
the Indians and the wars. But he is
made to learn, not history, but the
words of the book and in the recitation
business he may as well mistake John
son for John Smith as skip an adjective.
The author of Jacks book is /" a sue
cessful teacher (his name is Muddle) +;
but his early education was neglected,
for all that. His grammer is not always
good his rhetoric is always bad, and he
never d~eviates into liveliness. Now,
we protest that it is wicked squandering
of time to make Jack commit t o memo
ry every paragraph of Mr.. Muddle's
history. If his memory must be Guilt
waited, let it be by something worth the
learning, not the long, dry seesaw of an
intolerable shool-reom history.
This is only an example of the boys
troubles. He wrestles manfully, but
hopelessly, with English grammar is
pushed too fast into new difficulties in
arithemetic, and tortured by long-tailed
names in geography. Instead of being
allowed to Jake his mental food and di-
| gest it in a natural way. he is made to
| swallow it in great boluses, and is fast
becoming a victim of intellectual dys-
pepsia. We are told, too, that there
are several hundreds Tor thousands) of
children in the city where JAG ives
whose troubles are the same as his. 1t
is a pattern city; but somehow the
schools don't seem to be conducted for
the children, but to the glory of "the
sr,e{o~o - ooI tho Iac,11t o,1rraCfc that
we need less so-called system and more
science in the management of schools.
The kindergarten promises something
for the youngest children but where
shall we find hope for some equal reform
for children too old for the kindergar-
ten?
Improbable study is the great source
of time wasted in schools. 1t is not true
that all is good. That which is expend-
ed upon matters too difficult for a
child's mind, or ~uncongenial to it, is
bad. Bad, because it is Intellectual and
therefore wasteful ; and bad because it
induces a state of mind to which even
proper studies are distasteful. We must
abandon the theory that the object of
schools is to train all children to a GER
tain mental standard. That theory re-
suits in a system that teaches children
too little, though it may at the same
time work them too hard; that is a
system that wastes time instead of
economizing it. The better and more
economical idea is, that schools are to
aid children, by mean suited to their
different natures, to gain a certain
degree of mental strength. Certainly
in some way must conform to rea-
son in the matter of saving time, for it
is one of immense practical Importance,
if not to us Immediately, to our chill
dren. The education of the next gene
ration is in our hands, and we have no
more right to squander its time by our
negligence than we have wilfully to
waste the property or destroy the insti-
buttons which will be its rightful in
heritance,

Railroad Bonds.

For several months past the Northern Pa
cifc Bonds have been selling at the rate of a
million a month, and Messrs. Jay Cooke q
Co., the agents, report a brisk and unabated
demand thus far in the month of December.
This must be highly encouraging to the
company who are building the second great
highway to the Pacific, but it is not surpris-
ing in view of the attractions which these
bonds present. A good railroad and its traf-
fc are usually considered security enough
or a first mortgage bond, yet the Northern
Pacific Bonds are not only a first lien on the
railroad and property, but Il, addition are a
first mortgage on valuable lands in Mime
sofa and the Northwest at the rate of %, 700
acres for every mile of road built, or up
wards of $4,000, 900 acres in the aggregate.
Every bond of the denomination of 500, for
instance, has so acres pledged in its support,
and it is specially provided in the company's
charter that the proceeds of all land sales
must be applied to the cancellation of the
bonds, as long as they can be bought at a
price not exceeding ten per cent. premium.
The bonds, when used in purchasing the
company's lands, are worth $1.10 now and
it will probably not be long before they
reach that figure in the market. Their pres
ent price is par and accrued interest in cur
rency, and they bear interest at the unusu-
ally high rate Z 3-10 per cent. per annum in
gold.
