The hull of the Minnesota was built
by Messrs. Dunlevy & Wilson, the

success from the start. There are no
better boats built anywhere than by
Wheeling mechanics.

becomes evident TO the observer that some
depressing influence is checking the devel,

OF, and perhaps the youth Is removed rom
school and sent into the country. This Is
one of the worst movements. Removed
from ordinary diversions OF the overcoming
ing scenes OF the city, the powers of the
body, too much enfeebled to give Zest TO
heaithful and rural exercise, thoughts are
turned inwardly upon themselves.

Taking Medicine.

An English journal and an American
magazine have lately been calling at
tention to the fact-passahly patent
already-that people generally use a
great deal more medicine than is good
for them. 1t may we'll be questioned
whether the practice Of country folk,
which once led them to keep on hand
a good supply of "simples." of catnip,
pennyroyaf, sage and worm-root, and
all the category of "roots and YARDS"
has been well replaced by the intro
duction first of sulphur, cream of tar
tar and treacle, and followed by an
endless host of patent medicines, to be
used on the slightest. provocation. In
this regard the science of the shrewd is
too often the death of the simple, and
perhaps much of the physical degener-
alton noticeable in rural districts is
due to the incessant taking of nause
GUS drugs every time the wind or
moon changes, or an old lady consults
her meteorological corn and learns
that storm is brewing. The prevail
aDce of the notion that drugs contain
healing virtues shows how hard it is to
get rid OF superstition "a "healing
virtue" being manifestly an expression
for magical quality, yet now even
physicians occasionally use the term as
if it were not-as so many words are
fossil superstition with the learned
it has only meaning, but with the I'M
learned it has force. Blue mass will,
they think, cure "biliousness," as it is
prepared for that very purpose. If
blue-mass has no effect, it may be well
to try podaphollin or castor oil, and
perhaps, if the case is desperate or OBJ
stiDate, it may be well to take them
altogether. An English physician was
lately called in to see sick child, and
found that it's mother had received
medicine from three different dispen-
saries and nearly killed her child in
her desperate efforts to save it by Civ
ing it some Of all of the medicines. It
is requisite to do away with the ex-
hibition of any drug will necessarily or
even probably cure anv disorder, and
to let the human system do all that it
can to re-establish perfect health.
Doctors generally are trying to do this,
and much to their disgust are often
forced to administer "bread-pills" and
like powerful remedial agents, because
patients are SO fully persuaded that
nobody as sick as they can ever posi-
bly, get we'll without medicine. 1t
would save people a great deal of
money and pain ifthey would be sensi-
BILE for themselves and not hire other
people to be sensible for them.

Trust What Time Has Sanctioned.

The maxim that the voice of the PEG.
pie is the voice of the divinity, may in
some cases, be open to doubt, but the
testimony of honest and enlightened
witnesses extending through series of
years, and all to the same purport, is
worthy of credence, admit Of no ques-
ton. Upon such testimony the reputa-
ton of Hostctter's Stomach Bitters as
an antidote and cure for many ailments
is based. During the tweaty years
that it has been before the world, in
Vulnerable preparations intended to
compete with it, have gone up like
rockets, and come down the extinguish-
ed sticks. Meanwhile the progress of
that incompatible tonic has been swift
and steady-always upward and on
ward like the eagles flight. It's intro
duction produced a revolution in thera-
peutics, and it proved to be one of
those salntary revolutions that cannot
go backwards. To-day HOstetter's
Bitters is one of the most popular
remedies in christendom, and COM
mands a larger sale than any other
medicinal preparation, domestic or i'm
ported, on this side of the Atlantic.
AS cure for dyspepsia, bilious disor-
ders, nervous affections, general de-
bility, and as preventive of epidemic
fevers, it takes precedence of every
other remedy. This fact should teach
the ambitious country dealers who en-
deavor to foist their local abortions on
the public in it's stead, how futile their
small attempts to cajole the community
must necessarily be. Where the game
fish have failed there is no chance for
the "suckersn

Cotton Tree.

The following is going the rounds,
credited to be derived from planter
in Alabama. 1t is very hard story
to believe:
In the spring of 1867 selected spot
of ground, about forty feet square, and
planted in the centre a cotton seed
tended it carefully. In September l
built about it pen some eight feet
square and covered it with glass, kept
a thermometer in it, and by the aid of
a small stove, kept life growth in the
plant until May of 1868, at which time
l removed the pen.
During the summer of 1868 my plant
grew till it became small tree. In
the fall of the year picked 800 pounds
of seed cotton from it, and built an-
other pen on the same plan, but larger
than the first; followed the same pro-
cess through the winter, and again re-
moved my pen in the spring of 1862
That year l picked from what was
then tree, cotton that made bale
that weighed 476 pounds.
The tree had now grown so large
that deemed it safe from frost, and in
the winter of 1869 and 1870 left it un-
protected. In the spring Of 1870 it
bloomed at the same time with the
peach tree, and in the fall l made from
it 1893 pounds of lint cotton. At this
writing the tree is in full bloom, and
promises at least three bales of cotton,
and is the wonder of all who see it.
1t is some twenty or twenty-five feet
in height, measures at the butt nine
teen inches in diameter, shows no signs
of decay, and will probably live and
bear fruit for many years to come.
If this statement does not settle the
labor question nothing will. I have
endeavored to describe succinctly the
result of my experiment; to have en-
tered fully into all the minutia would
have occupied volume, but if this
short article shall turn the attention of
planters to the following up of this
marvellous progress, my purpose shall
have been answered.

slightest effect upon its progress if pro-
duced in some other manner.
Since the doctors, then, only know
enough of yellow fever to make every
body else believe they know nothing,
common people cannot be blamed for
getting out of the way of this dreadful
scourge whenever they can. We think,
therefore, that Governor Davis has as
much common sense on the subject as
those who abuse him.

EComplaints from all quarters
Of hard times, and worse ahead,
come to us thick and fast. The
necessaries of life, for man and
beast, are rising in value every
day; in fact all we have to purchase
is high and going up. and that
which we raise and have to sell
commands low prices and gradual
~ declining. With this stern fact
before our eyes, would it not pay
and help us to stop planting cotton
to feed caterpi1Iars, and raise corn
and other cereals to feed ourselves!
An admirable article from the Sell
ma, Alabama, Times, which we
publish, this week, will be found
very suitable to our situation. We
