Refunding the Cotton Tax.

The friends of the measure for re-
funding the cotton tax are moving in
order to secure its consideration at the
present session of congress. There is
now, as there was at the last session,
strong conviction that this money was
wrongfully and upconstitutionally ex-
torted from the cotton states at a time
when their pros trate condition dictated
q wholly different policy.
The great difficulty in the way of Sc
curing payment in the last congress was
the strength of the sectional prejudice
still existing against those states for
seeding from the Union but this feel
ing would probably not have proved
sufficient to defeat the claim, if the
friends of the refunding measure had
been able to agree among themselves
about the payment of the money. The
| associations of cotton factors who had
| spent their time and money In pushing
the claim in the courts al Washington,
insisted that the money should be paid
to the parties actually holding the re-
ceipts for the tax paid. Some of the
planters were willing to let the matter
| take this course, but others urged that
they had really paid the tax, as the fac
tors had d Quoted its amount on paying
them for their crops. At this time sew
cru SCu6AuSS are pCnOinS. OAo O1ACAOu

the money to the states in which It was
collected, which would probably be q
very agreeable solution Ct the Question

Have a Garden.

Why do not farmers In general pay
more attention to the garden? Some
we know do appreciate the luxury of a
good garden, but the most do not They
think they have no time to attend to it.
The corn and wheat and rye fields must
not be neglected, they say, Let the
women attend to the cabbage patch.
Now this wrong. Why should farmer
deprive himself of vegetable Injuries
such as city people and those living in
the vicinity of cities indulge III +? 1t Is
not to the country we would go If our
appetites were craving early vegetables.
These will first be found in the markets
of the city, the productions of garden
ers who live within few miles of the
market. We venture to say it would
rebound more to the health, happiness
and profits of many farmer if he would
cultivate half dozen acres less of corn,
and devote the time to the management
of two acre ga den than to pursue the
course he does. Try it. Select two
acres convenient to the house. Lay it
off so that the walks will run in one
direction only from end to end. One
central walk may be enough. This will
enable you to pillow from end TO end
without stopping, and to soon break up
! the whole area. Then lay tire --fourths
of it off in rows three feet apart as your
| Judgment may dictate. Before the
ground is touched however, it ought to
be MANFRED just as heavy as your
stock of manure will admit of. Had the
spot been selected last fall, and had it
been well bestrewed with leaves, ashes,
| black mud from swampy places, chip
manure, barnyard manure, vegetable
| mold from the woods, or other matter
of the kind it would have been far bet
ter. However, it is too late now. Next
fall recollect the idea and work upon it.
In the rows wide apart put pc atoes,
early corn, early peas, beans, okra, eel
cry, pepper, tomatoes, cabbage, etc.
/ in others, beets, carrots, early turnips,
lettuce, onions, parsnips, radishes, sal
| sify, strawberries, etc.
Bat one point we must not forget.
| There ought to be strip six feet wide
| selected, running through the garden
and parallel with the rows. Let a ridge
be plowed up in the middle of this for
the reception of cucumber. melon,
| pumpkin and squash seeds. It may be
best to have two or more of these wide
strips.
Be sure to have everything arranged
| so that you can pillow between the rows
from end to end. If you are near 8
market you can, with good management
and plenty of manure, make more of
these two acres than you can off any
six acres in your fields, besides having
plenty to eat and good variety

Rude Dentistry.

A humorous description is given of
Japanese dentistry. The dental pro-
lessor of Japan does not sit in an office
ornamented with dread-inspiring instru-
ments of polished steel, waiting for
the unfortunate whom his shingle on
the outer walls invites to cross into the
parlor. He travels around with brass
ornamented box, in which are some 1T
tie malIets and wedges. And the way
in which he performs the functions of
his craft is very simple, more simple
than the civilized way, perhaps, but
more severe. He drives his wedges in
between tooth and gum, forcing them
down with his mallet, until the tooth is
loosened sufficiently to be taken out by
the fingers. Sometimes a jaw is bro
ken, and sometimes the patient dies

What Do Your Children Read ?


A bad book, magazine or newspaper,
is as dangerous to your child as a
vicious companion, and will assuredly
corrupt his morals and lead him away
from the paths of safety. Every parent
should set this thought clearly before
his mind, and ponder it we'll. Look to
what your children read, and especially
to the kind of papers that get into their
hands, for there are now published
scores of weekly papers, with attractive
and sensual illustrations, that are as
hurtfu1 to young and innocent souls as
poison to healthful body.
Many of these papers have obtained a
large circulation, and are sowing broad
cast the seeds of vice and crime. Trench
| ing on the borders of innocency, they
! corrupt the morals, faint theimaginatiOn,
and allure the weak and unguarded
| from paths of innocence. The danger
TO young persons from this cause was
never so great as at this time; and every
father and mother should be on guard
against an enemy that is sure to meet
their child.
Our mental comprehensive thoughts
and feelings that dwell with us when
alone, and influence our actions these
are what lift us up or drag us down. II
your child has pure and good mental
companions, he is safe; but if, through
corrupt books and papers, evil thoughts
and impure imaginIngs get into his
mind, his danger is imminent.
Look to it, then, that your children
are kept as free as possible from this
faint. Never bring into your house 9
| paper or periodical that is not strictly
pure, and watch carefully lest any such
get into the hands of your grown-uI
boys.

IT Is rare thing that physicians give
any countenance to a medicine, the manufac-

many of them use it in their practice with

wrong Custom Corrected.

1t is quite generally the custom to take
strong liver stimulants for the cure of liver
complaint and both the mineral and vegetable
kingdoms have been diligently searched to pro-
cure the most drastic and poisonous purga-
tives, in order TO produce a powerful effect
upon the liver, and arouse the tagging and en-
feebled organ. This system of treatment is
on the same principle as that of giving weak
and debilitated man large portions of brandy
| to enable him to do a certain amount of work.
/ When the stimulant is withheld, the organ,
| like the system, gradually relapses into a more
| torpid or sluggish and weakened condition
! than before. What, then, is wanted Medi.
/ cines, that, while they cause the bile to flow
| freely from the liver, as that organ is toned
into action, will not overwork and thus debili
tate it, but will. when their use is discontinued
leave the liver strengthened and healthy.
