the comparative merits OF the principal Worm
Medicines OF the day, which, numerous as the
Entozoa Themselves, have oVerspreao lhe
land, each claiming for itself the name OF spe-
ciflc; and, while We frankly acknowledge that
many OF them are orten successful, and do great
good, were we not assured that this combines
advantages possessed by no other worm medi-
cine, its Introduction at this late day would not
have been attempted.
The pleasant taste and exceedingly small
quantity OF this medicine required to test the
existence OF worms, or to remove every one
from the system-its operating in few hours,
certainty OF effect, constitute IL one OF the most
brilliant discoveries OF the age.
Had we space here, scores OF certificates
might be adduced to show It's progressive and
rapidly increasing reputation for the last few
years; but TO prOmulgate its fame and estab-
lish its character, We only ask for trial.
Its speedy operation In oil sudden attacks, as
eonvulsions, collie, fits or spasms, gives il an
unrivaled superiority. Sent by express on re

Golden Words.
From the Detroit Free Press.

Without any regard to Presidential
combinations, Judge David Davis de-
serves well of his country tor the utter
ance of these golden words from the
bench of the Supreme Court, in the Milli-
gan case
The Constitution of the United States
is law for rulers and people equally in
war and in peace, and covers with the
shield of its protection all classes of men,
at all times and under all circumstances
No doctrine involving more pernicious
consequences was ever invented bv the
wit of man than that any of its provisions
can tie suspended during any of the ext
gencies of the Government Such doc
trine leads directly to anarchy and des-
potsm, but the theory of necessity on
which it is based is false. tor the Govern
ment within the Constitution has all the
powers granted to it which are necessary
to preserve its existence, as has been hap
PLY proved by the result of the great eff
fort to throw off its just authority"
A citizen of Indiana had been arrested
tor an offence unknown to the laws, and
tried and convicted by court authorized
by the Constitution. He was condemned
to the gallows, and then his punishment
was changed to imprisonment for life.
This result was reached through the infam-
Gus assumption that in time of war the
Government had power over the rights
and liberties of the citizen unknown to
the Constitution in time OF peace. The
words uttered by Judge Davis restored
the supremacy Of the Constitution. and
set the captive free, and he deserves the
thanks of every. friend OF constitutional
liberty for it.

those of our farmer readers who desire
the luxury of early vegetables for their ta-
bes sooner than they could be produced by
waiting for the ground to thaw ont and
warm up sufficiently for the termination of
seeds. will be interested in the following
directions by a writer of the Ploughman
for the making and management of hot
bed
The size of the hot bed will depend upon
the design, whether simply for family use
or for the market The frames are com
monty made OF two inch plank framed to-
gether at the ends in such way as to be
easily taken apart and stored; many simply
nail or hook them TO cedar posts set at the
four corners. A common sized hot bed for
domestic uses would Ue say ten or twelve
feet long and four feet wide. The posts
ought to be three or four inches square.
The frame OF course has no bottom.
The location should be on dry land with
southern aspect. Let the frame or the
south side ofthe frame be about eight inches
high. and the north Side from eight to twenty
inches, according to the slope or inclination
OF the ground. The top of the frame ought
TO have slope of from eight to twelve
inches, to let in the heat OF the sun. and

however and nothil more was thought
of the matter. The Young woman was
engaged to be married to Young man
living at GOldSboro, named Alfred ker-
rick, and the wedding was appointed to
come off at that place about two weeks
ago On the wedding morning as She
was about to perform her ablutions the
sight of water sent shiver through her
whole system and frightened her. and at
the breakfast table the coffee had such an
effect upon her that she spilled it over the
table. She then complained Of feeling
unwell, and her friends advised her to re-
main at home; but she said she did not
want to disappoint Al, and, accompanied
by sister, proceeded to Goldsboro, where
the wedding ceremony was performed
Immediately after this she was seized
with spasms, bearing all the indications
of hydrophobia. In one of her lucid in
tervals she warned the company that she
would bite them if they did not keep
away from her. But" said she to her
husband, "Al, You need not be afraid, |

Seed Potatoes.

1t is the practice of the ma aiOrity of our
potato growers to use for seed that portion
of their crop which is too small for market
ing, and the effect of this when long con-
tlnued, on the yield, healthfulness and
quality of the crop is question worthy of
careful consideration. In the selection of
seed the potato crop has received different
treatment from any of our standard crops.
AS rule farmers use the best of their
grain to sow; they are careful to procure
that which is plump and fully matured, but
the seed potatoes are those which are too
small tor market, and which, from the man
ner of growth, necessarily are not as fully
ripe, and are devoid of that perfection
which exists in the larger tubers There is
another fact to be considered, which is that
no one of our standard farm crops has had
so many varieties deterorate, run out, dis
carded, as the potato. If we could not
originate new varieties every few wears,
having larger stock of native vigor, the
demand for this article of food could not be
met. Is this deterioration the result of the
practice of using small potatoes for seed
The only way to definitely answer this
question is by long g-continued expert
ment. The varieties which have even par
TALLY deteriorated are not proper subjects
for such trial, but rather some of newer
ones which are yet in their full vigor. AS
private persons are not likely to undertake
and carry out such an experiment, it's i'm
portance should commend it to the agrcul-
lural schools where experimental grounds
are maintained. Take the Early Rose for
instance, or Harrison, Peerless, and plant
one plot with seed selected from the most
perfect tubers, and another with that of the
small-sized ones. Propagate from the same
stocks, and at the end of a dozen or twenty
years TIE question whether small potatoes
are as good TOR seed as the larger and riper
might be inteligently answered. Expert
ments seem to show that potato seed is
surer to germinate when it contains the
least percentage of starch-a condition at
taching to immature tubers, or those grown
on new land or that which is wet and cool
