DON'T TAMPER WITH CoUGH.-Perhaps in
the whole category of diseases to which hui
mainly is susceptible, the cough is most neg
lected in its early stage. A simple cough is
generally regarded as a temporary affection
unpleasant and nothing more; but to those
who have paid dearly for experience, it is the
signal for attack for the most fearful of all
diseases-Consumption. A cough will lead to
consumption-if not checked-so sure as the
rivulet leads to the river, yet it is an easy en-
envy to thwart, if met by the proper remedy.
Allera's Lang BdlsGna is the great cough rene
dy of the age, and it has earned its reputation
by merit alone. Sold by all good druggists.

obnoxious superintendent. They left in
a body at nightfall, and soon afterward a
terrible storm of wind and rain arose. In
the absence of their keepers, and alarmed
by the noise of the storm, the lunatics be-
came mad with excitement. The Trustees,
who had been in session that afternoon,
dared not enter the wards, and in the
darkness the patients screamed, fought,
and broke everything that was breakable.
Messengers were sent on horseback for
help, and toward morning sufficient
force had been collected to subdue the
instruction. 1t was then found that sew
eral of the patients had escaped.
AN exchange says that it is reported in
England that a French firm has discov-
cred a method of making artificial sugar
from materials so cheap that it can be
sold at farthing pound. Concerning
which the Manufacturer and Builder says
"When we consider that sawdust is cheap,
and rich in Ignite, which by chemical
treatment with mineral acids may be
changed into grape sugar, we should not
at all be surprised that the above report
turns out to be true, and that sawdust is
the material from which this cheap sugar
is obtained. Changing old linen rags into
sugar is well-known chemical expert
ment. Such rags are almost pure Ignite
while sawdust also consists of Ignite,
however, with some other ingredients,
easily removed. From rags to sawdust is
but one STEP"
A PRISONER in the Missouri peniten-
tiary, too weak to work, and who had the
run of the yard, one day asked the War
den if he could be allowed to cultivate a
small corner of the enclosure. "What do
you want to raise?' "Cucumbers, SIR"
"Why, you can't raise them here, the
other prisoners would steal them" mo,
sir" said the man firmly "They will not
steal one of them" "Well, go ahead"
said the Warden, eff any of your cucum-
bers are stolen don't come to me with
your complaints" "You will never hear
from me on that score, sir" The cucum-
bers were planted, watered, trained and
cultivated, and an immense crop was the
result. AS fast, however, as the fruit
ripened, it disappeared, and the Warden
became convicted that the owner sold it
for liquor, produce, or some other contra
band article. He directed the man to be
watched, and finally he was detected in
the act of carrying his cucumbers to the
hospital and giving them to the poor fell
lows who, in their sickness craved them.
Not one had been stolen.

strong soils and injure poor ones. Lime
improves poor soils, especially sandy
ones, by rendering them more compact
and capable of retaining fertility when
applied. As promoter of health and
vigor of apple trees, 1t is one OF the best
applications that can be made to the soil.
Under its influence trees mature well, the
fruit is finer and trees are freer from
disease. Lime may be applied with bene-
fit on most soils and many plants, but is
of special value to the apple tree and
strawberry plant, while ashes are valuable
for heavy or rich soils for the grosser
feeding of plants, such as our native
plums and currant bushes.-N r

At Galena, at an immense meet
ing q unanimous vote was passed
to vote at the coming election tor
no license.
1t is contended by District At
toney Briggs Of Westchester, New
York, that the old law Of 1857,
authorizing the sale Of liquor to be
drunk on the premises, by inn
keepers alone, is still in force.
DR.. Guthrie said he concientionsly
believed that more people have
been destroyed by intoxicating
drink than were lost when the del
uge swept the earth. II we under
stand the doctor Alright, it is bis
opinion that more people have been
killed by alcohol than by water.
The temperance crusade is a gin
u-wine movement against the sup
port-crs Of rum-an-tic dealers III
all-colic liquors. The only trouble
about it and what ales it the most
is that by its dramatic spirit it ex-
cites the rye-sibility of those who
witness it.
A temperance society in San
Francisco arrays itself against the
habit of saying, "What'll you
have?' "Come let's take a drink" !"
or anything Of the kind. The
members do not approve Of total
abstinence; they only solemnly
pledge themselves not to pay for
any other mans drink, nor to drink
at the bar with anybody. The So
ciety is serious in its intentions, be-
lieyes that the conviviality OF bar
rooms is the cause Of most inlem-
perance, and has a membership Of
standing and influence.

The Forks wanted the office. OF
Sheriff, and presented . good man,
an honest farmer, and a gentleman;
but that office was too good a thing
to let go; they couldn't begin to
spare that; but as it would not do
to snub us entirely (they may need
our votes next June) they scattered
a few crumbs over here that they
did not want; to keep US quiet in
harness till after the election, when
we can again go to grass like trusty
work-horses after the spring plow-
ing.
The Monkers have influence
and command good many votes
they gave one Of them a Senator
ship; no money in it, bnt great
deal of honor, you know, which is
what the people of the Forks most
need. The Sheltons, also, have
many votes, and one Of them is to
be Representative again-more
honor, you know; and the Curl's
and Bilyeu's and Crabtrees are all
connected more or less, and it
wouldn't do to slight them entirely,
there's too many of them, but they
are very cheap-so are all the
people in the Forks. A very poor
bone will satisfy them, you know /;
and so the ring gave John Curl the
Assessors place, the only thing
worth a cent they did not hag as
usual, and that not worth much
Young Bryant got the nomination
for Surveyor, simply from the fact
that none Of the ring felt qualified
to fill the office. The rest of the
county, East and North Of Albany
and Brownsville, were not worth
noticing, and received not a crumb,
though polling at least a fourth Of
the votes OF the county; nor have
they had anything Of any conse-
quence for years, since the ring took
matters in hand. They presented
good men, but no matter what a
mans abilities may be, or how good
his reputation, for personal and
political honor and fidelity, SO far

cerned, in a so-called Democratic

tn INV Fellow Democrats Of Linn
County,,

the purpose Of nominating candi-
dates for the county offices for the
ensuing two years, has been again
epacted, and the result is as usual.
Three precincts, containing about
two-ifths Of the population Of the
county, have gobbled up everything
worth having, leaving to the re-
naming three-ffths, the duty aud
the glory Of electing them next
June. For instance: The lucrative
offices are Clerk, Sheriff, Judge,
Treasurer, school Superintendent,
Assessor and Surveyor.
The offices of Clerk and Sheriff
are either OF them worth more than
all the others. Albany gets the
Clerk, Treasurer and School Super
intendent, who was brought for
ward, however, by Brownsville,
his former home. Brownsville has
the Sheriff, and Harrisburg retains
the Judge, who holds over.
These precincts also have more
than their full share of the other
offices, four Representatives, one
Senator and one Commissioner, leay-
ing for the other tbree-tifths Of the
county two Representatives, two
Senators, one Commissioner, the
Assessor and the Surveyor. Al
most every one Of the Thirty
thousand Dollars to be paid out
Of the county Treasury or the
pockets Of the people, as fees or
salaries to these officers, if elected,
will be paid to citizens of those
three precincts. The ring did their
work well and thoroughly.
But it will no doubt be said that
this is merely an accident--it just
happened SO. Let us see if the
nominations are not in the habit Of
happening 50. Two years ago the
same three precincts obtained Judge,
School Superintendent, Clerk,
Sheriff, Treasurer, Surveyor, three
Representatives, one Commissioner,
and retained both Senators, they
holding over, leaving for the rest
of us two Representatives and one
Commissioner, and the Assessor:
''just that, and nothing more" "
But this may have been only a re-
markable coincidence-very re-
markable. Let us examine the
nominations Of the preceding con-
yention. Those three precincts re-
served to themselves the Judge,
Clerk, Sheriff, Treasurer, Superin.
tendent, Assessor, Surveyor, both
Senators, both Commissioners, and
three Representatives, I think;
leaving for the rest of the county
tlc2 Representatives, ThisappesrI
