A Very Valuable Work.

History of the Grange Movement /;
or the Farmers War against Monopo-
lies" Being full and authentic ac-
count of the struggles of the American
Farmers against tho extortions of the
Railroad Companies. With a History
of the Rise and Progress of the Order
of Patrons of Husbandry. Published
by the National Publishing Co., of Gin
cinnati and Memphis.
The most remarkable and powerful
movement of the present day IS. I'M
questionably, the War which the Farm
ers are waging against the Monopolies
of all kinds that have for so long been
robbing the people and expressing the
toiling portion of our community.
The work b gins with the causes
which have aroused the American peo-
pie against the Monopolists, and treats
of the railroad system of the country,
it's growth, actual condition and pros
poets. It then shows how this noble
system has been perverted to further
the ends of selfish capitalists and rail
road directors, who seek gain at the ex-
pense of the community and we are
given terrible and thrilling account of
the crimes and frauds of the railroad
corporations of to-day. The author
yields fearless and vigorous pen, and
points out the evils which this selfish
greed has entailed upon us. He shows
how the great corporations have been
able to control the whele country how
they have robbed the nation, and cor
rupted our Congress, State Legislatures,
and Courts of Justice.
Passing from the Monopolists and
their OI1traces the aI1thOr takes IN the
cause of the wronged and oppressed
farmers, and gives us detailed state
ment of the evils from which the farm
ing class is suffering. He analyses skill
fully the causes of these evils, and
shows how and by whom the farmers
are robbed.
A considerable portion of the work is
devoted to history of the Order of
Patrons of Husbandry. A complete &C
count of the organization and objects of
the order is given its laws and mode
of procedure are stated; and each fea-
ture is explained at length.
It is decidedly the most interesting
and useful volume of the day, and as
it comes at time when the whole coun-
try is suffering intensely from the effects
of the evils it denounces, cannot fail to
have tremendous sale. It is an ably
written work, and bold and vigorous
plea in behalf of the farmers and all
who are oppressed and robbed by the
grasping Monopolies which aer causing
so much trouble.
The book is sold by subscription only,
and the publishers want agents in every
county. See advertisement in another
column.

The Chicago Illustrated Magazine.

Hitherto the Aldlne Magazine, of New York.
has enjoyed the distinction of being the hand
soonest periodical in the country, if not in the
world hut it has encountered rival in the
Chicago Illustrated Ma gazine. The latter pub

WINTER SONG.

When icicles hang on the wall,
And Dick tie shepherd blows his nail,
And Tom bears logs into the hall,
And milk comes frozen home in pail;
When bloodis nipped AMI ways be foul,
Then nightly sings the staring owl,
To-whoo;
Tu-whit, to-whoo, q merry note,
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.
When all aloud the wind doth blow,
And coughing browns the parsons cav.
And birds sit brooding in the snow,
And Marian's nose looks red and raw:
When roasted crabs hiss in the bowl.
Then nightly sings the staring owl,
To-whSo;
yu-whit, to-whoo, amerry note,
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.

AMERICAN WOMEN. 1t is a melan-

degenerated in point of health and ply
sique, until they have become literally
a race of invalids. How sad it is to
look around us and compare the frail
and effeminate looking lady of to day
with the hale, hearty and buxon. ladies
of days gone by. To all such the late
discovery of DR.. Walker, of California,
which is known as Vinegar Bitters, is
priceless boon indeed. For this class
of diseases it is certain and safe, and
any lady, old or young, can take it with
entire confidence in the result, and thus
avoid what to thousands is a stumbling
block never overcome, VIA consulta-
ton with family physician. lis true
there may be cases of years standing,
that will necessitate more powerful
treatment, but in nine cases out of ten
this remedy will reach the disease, and
after little time effect a cure. The
number of ladies cured by it are mum
bered by thousands, and are scattered
through every state in the union.

have their tobacco rolled up in little
bits of paper, and these they carry in

they carry the tobacco and the paper
separately, and make a cigarette when

GORGED SToMACHs IN HORSES
Gorged stomachs, or acute indigestion,
Is a disease which every year destroys a
great many valuable horses. It con-
sists either in distansion of the stomach
from food or from gas generated by the
fermentation of its undigested contents.
This very serious disorder often results
from giving food in large quantities and
Immediately subjecting the animal TO
hard or fast work. This is a very com
mon thing among farmers horses. A
journey of fifteen or twenty miles has
to be performed; the owner, through
kindness, gives him an extra quantity of
food the stomach and bowels are over
loaded; the horse begins his journey
full of spirits, and after travelling for a
few miles, he becomes dull and sluggish
and sweats freely; he is pulled up, and,
after standing for a few moments, shows
signs of abdominal pains by cringing
the body and attempting to lie down
the TANKS are slightly swollen. In &
few moments he seems easier, and is
driven on, now and then showing symp-
toms of pain possibly he reaches his
destination. and is taken ont of the har-
ness when he NAV exhibit very alarming
symptoms. Another common cause is
feeding heavily when the stomach has
bsen weakened by enervatiHg exercise
or long fasting. In road horses that are
highly fed on oats and hay, it is occa-
siOnally brought on by giving aquantity
of green clover or tares Immediately af-
ter performing a fast journey.
