than days and weeks Of deliberation.

Spare the Trees.

From 1866 10 1868 inclusive, the French
government conducted series 81 elaborate
experiments in relation to forest trees.
These experiments were under the direction
of II. Matthew, professor in the School OF
Forestry At Nancy, and they proved conclu-
sively the important influence which trees
exert upon climate. 1t wn ascertaind that
during eight months in the years mentioned,
there fell in the open country from 1925 10
So. 80 inches OF rain; and in the wooded
country for the same period, from &c. 4S 70
Sc. Al inches. Il was also demonstrated that
the cutting down Of forests, BY giving an un-
impeded rath to the winds, causes the rain
fall to evaporate rapidly, and thus increases
the drouths Of summer; while at the same
time the winters are made more severe BY .
lack Of that moisture in the Atmosphere
which forests hold. In short, nothing i
necessary to makethe most fertile land sterile
but svstematic massacre of trees.
The State Agricultural Sociesy Of Nebras-
ka his moved in the right direction, BY Offer
ing prize Of 500 for the best five acres Of
planted forest trsea, and $50 for the second
best; but prevention is much better than cure
We therefore hope that the bill lately intro
duced in Coagres, offering Prezniuns for the
retention and cultivation Of trees on the pub
lie lands hereafter to be sold, will become .
law. The falling ofa forest tree needleazy,.
Is crime aeainst humanity and common
senss, and ought to be regarded and treated -
such.

The railroad feeling in Osavkee township
Is at fever heat, and they expect to carry The
proposition by good rousing majority.
The substantial benefits the people Of that
township will derive 10 having direct COM
munication With Leavenworh and the East BY
the Leayenvorth, Oskaloosa 4 Topeka rail-
road, are apparent to everyone Who takes in
a calm and deliberate view Of the situation.
We honestly believe Osawkee has more 10
gain in having = railroad than any other
township IN the county, and We believe abe
will not be slow to improve the golden OPP
por.unity.-Oska,oosa &atexman.

TM LEAVESwORTII OSkALOOSA
AND TOPEKA RAILROAD.

IAayerworth county has voted $50, 900 to
aid this enterprise, and several townships IN
Jefferson county have also voted aid amOun-
ting to nearly 500, 900 more.
Under the terms Of the vote in Leaven-
worth county, the road mnst be built by
either the Kansas Pacific or AtchisOn,
Topeka & Santa Fe company.
In submitting the proposition to the voters
Of Shawnee county, wei uggest that We require
the Kansss Pacific to build the road, as an
entirely Independent line, crossing the Kan
sas river within the city limits, and running
to the south line Of the county via. Auburn.
This proposition carried, and We will secure
the building of the Topeka and Southwestern
road, giving LeavenwOrth as we'll as Topeka
another competing route to southwestern
Kansas, developing the coal fields in the
vicinity Of Massasoit and Blacksmith creeks,
which are known to be as rich as the Car
bondale and Usage fields, and open up fine
country.
Leavenworth il interested in the Leavcn-
worth, Lawrence & Galveston Railroad
making their city the northern connection Of
this important line by the purchase of the
Leavenwo.th and Lawrence Branch of the
Kansas Pacific; but the latter company are
unwilling to sell the branch to the L., L. &
G.and sever their connection with the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific, which is to them a
valuable feeder; but let the X. p. build the
L., O. & T. railroad, and they re-
tain this valuable connection, and can dis.
pose of the Lawrence Branch.
We make the above Suggestions believing
this TO be the proper course to pursue, and
hope that Leavenvorth and Topeka will pull
together in this matter, and secure the early
construction of the road. Let US hear from
our Eeavenvorth friends ON the subject
Topeka Commonwealth.
Leavenworth Is for the building Of this
very important road at once, and is deter.
mined that the road shall be built, and built
speedily. If the Kansas Pacific will sell the
branch and interest itself in the road from
Topeka to Leavenworth our people would be
delighted, and render the Kansas Pacific
every reasonable assistance. Topeka, how
ever, cannot afford to ignore the advantages
10 be derived from direct outlet to the cas-
via the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific r. |
E. The sooner her people unite and resolve
70 aid in the construction Of the Leaven-
worth road, the better it will be for them.

OLUTE YOUNG MAN

firmly resolves to be good man, is already
upon the road.
THE DISsoLUTE YOUNG MAN
Is to be met with in large cities. In the
smaller communities of the country he
seems to have less room to'expand. The
social police of the village, for instance, is
too strong for the dissolute young man. 1t
interferes with him. 1t turns its back
upon him. But in the cities
he finds more freedom - freedom
is his word for the liberty that runs to lib
ertinism. Free to go on sprees and be car
ried home drunk; free to enjoy delirium
tremens; free rum, free ruin, free love.
These are his load stars. He sneers at the
religious beliefs of supplemented men and
women, and talks the brilliant rottenness
of Voltaire and Tom Paine. He
sneers at marriage, and the idea of
virtue of woman. He reads the Police
Gazette and WOOdbOdI d ClGfjn's Weekly.
He says "give me free love; to the pure all
things are pure" These words are the
shibboleth of these free love women who
are assuming to lead this day in the
WOman's Rights movement. Women who
boldly faunt the black flag of free
love in the faces of their sex and
claim to array under its folds all who are in
favor of woman's suffrage. The lecturer
continued: Now for my part, if woman
suffrage is to mean free love, for one shall
abandon the movement. Applause.]
wish to speak to you now about an entirely
personal matter, and that is my marriage.
AT the end of last year, in December, was
married. tell you this because want to
say just now that that marriage
was my protest against such doctrines
as are put forward every week by these
free love people. II was tribute Of love
to a good man, and it was my tribute of
honor to the holy institution of Christian
marriage which God forever defend.
(Cheers.) "To the pure all things are pure"
say the free lovers. Well, this is true, but
who are the pure? Only the angels.
Where are the pure? Only in heaven.
This is the simple truth which scatters to
the winds the arguments of the free low
ers.
Young men, let your hatred of things
mean and ignoble be bitter and unTelent-
ing. Govern your passions with the power
of strong, guiding will, and make them
serve instead of rule. Be clean in dress,
clean in life, clean in heart, clean in soul,
and let the religion of humanity be the con-
trolling influence of your lives. With such
young men for the guardians Of the future,
all shall 90 well with US. Evil shall die
out in the land, justice and right
shall rule; oppression and wrong shall be
driven back into the shade of the land of
death; error shall be crushed to earth, and
truth shall hold her blazing torch and bea-
con light for all the world, and the millen-
cum shall indeed have come. [Applause.]

In every quarter of the globe where it is
known, and there are few indeed where it
is not, the MEXICAN MUSTANG LINIAIENT
takes precedence of all similar preparations.
Its transcendent merits have obtained for
it popularity seldom reached by any pro-
prietary medicine. In its infancy the fiat
of its success was pronounced in the wide
spread endorsement which it received from
physicians, veterinary surgeons, hOrse-meR,
and the public generally. No one now
thinks Of questioning its claim to be con-
sidered the Standard Eminent Of America.

Poisoned to Death.-A healthy liver
secretes each day about two and half
pounds of bile, which contains 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, there
fore, remains to poison the blood and be
conveyed to every part of the system.
What must be the condition of the blood
when it is receiving and retaining each day
two and half pounds of poison? Nature
tries to work off this poison through other
channels and Organs-the kidneys, lungs,
skin, etc; but these organs become over
taxed in performing this labor in addition
to their natural functions, and cannot long
withstand the pressure, but become various
ly diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical
centre Of all vitality, is unduly stimulated
by the unhealthy blood which passes to it
from the heart, aud it fails to perform its
office beautifully. Hence the symptoms of
bile poisoning, which are dizziness, head
ache, incapacity to keep the mind on any
subject, impairment Of memory, dizzy,
sleepy, or nervous feelings, gloomy fOrebOd-
ings, and irritability of temper The blood
atSey being diseased as 1t forms the sweat
upon the surface of the skin, it is so irritat-
ing and poisonous that it produces discolor-
ed brown spots, pimples, blotches and other
eruptions, sores, bOils, carbuncles and scrOf-
ulous tumOrs. The stomach, bowels aud
other organs spoken of, cannot escape be
coming affected sooner or later, and cOstive-
ness, piles, dropsy, dyspepsia, diarThGa, fe-
male weakness, and many ether forms OF
chronic disease, are among the necessary
results. AS a remedy for all these various
manifestations of disease, DR.. Pierces Gold
en- Medical Discovery is positively unequal
ed. By it the liver and stomach are changed
to an active, healthy state, the appetite regu- |
lated and restored, the blood and secretiOns
thoroughly purified and enriched, and the
whole system renovated and built up anew.
