JOTTINGS BY THE WAY,

Harrisburgh, the capital of Pennsyl-
vania, like some other State towns,
possesses no very great attraction for
the stranger outside the interest which
centres in it as the seat of government
of the ancient and powerful common
wealth, which bears the impress of as
many distinguished minds as any in the
Union, If not more SO.
An accident on the Northern Central
caused US one of those disagreeable de-
tentions, which, with the unaccommo-
dating spirit of the attaches of tire
road, made our long delay the most un-
pleasant in our memory. When train
is announced 40 minutes late, the agents
and telegraph operators go off, leaving
the waiting-room5, crow ded to suffoca-
ton, and let their patrons choose be-
tween dying of asphyxia inside, or
freezing with cold weather and still
colder treatment; for, not forty min
utes, but for six long hours outside.
We care not what ones peculiar no
tions may be in regard to future re-
wards and punishments-especiaily the
latter-we conclude. as the saints, like
us, have to suffer here below, SO sho'd

TIE monthly report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture has just been is
sued, and gives the following report Of
the condition of the white cereals: :
The indications are more than usual
ly favorable, both for q larger area in
wheat and a better promise of vigorous
and healthy growth. The early sown
was, in some Counties in Maryland, at.
tackled by the fly, and in Virginia the
sowing was often too late for vigor.
Gus start before cold weather set in; but
by correspondents, are mainly poor pre-
well cultivated fields yielding three
times the general average. In the
Sonth a larger area is in wheat is indi-
Gated; its;grewthl is generally vigorous,
so much 80 in many instances as to be
fed down by cattle; and in the Caroli-
mas and Tennessee frequent reference
Is made to better preparation of the
soil. ,.,.f,-.as o.,.. ~. ,sif. .,.,.-..,f
The condition OF winter grain'in the
great wheat-growing States is general
ly good, with apparent increase of area
more than equaling the annualihcrease
of population. In some counties of IL
linois the chinch-bug pest is still preva-
lent. A more general use of the drill
is apparent, and some indications o!
. progress in the direction Of better cul-
tura. The .open winter may effect, the
promise unfavorably.
OHIO Wheat Noble: Good crop
sown and looks well. Franklin: Unu-
sual breadth sown, and it looks remar.
kably fair. Very early fields injured
somewhat by the Hessian fly. Medi.

saw wheat look 50 well at this season.

never better. Crawford: More than

THE value of flag consists chiefly in
its significance as an outward symbol
of the inward instinct of the people
who exalt it. Upwards of a hundred
flags of the defunct Confederacy were,
it is said, displayed in Macon, Georgia,
on the recent anniversary of the birth
day of ROBERT E. LEE. but there was
not solitary 'star-spangled banner
amongst them all. And yet these are
the people who whine about the allie
ged harshness of Northern feeling.

DIR, TUFTS Pills are composed OF many
ingredients Prominent among them are
Sarssparilla aud Wild Cherry, SO united as 10
act together; the one. through its admixture
with other substances, purifying and purgine;
while the other Is Strengthening the SYSTEM
Thus these Pills are at the same time tonic
aad cathartie, a adesideratum long sought for
by medical men, but never before discovered
In other words, they do the work OF two medi-
cines and do 1t much better than any two we
know of, for they remove nothing from the
system but impurities. SO that while they
purge they also strengthen and hence they
cause 70 debility and are followed by no re-
action.
DR., TUFTS pills have wonderful In1u-
enee on the blood. They not only purify with
out weakening it, but they remove all iioxious
particles from the ehyle before it Is converted
into nuid, and thus makes impure blood an
utter fmpossio f1ity. AS there Is no debilita-
tion, so there Is no nausea or sickness attend
ing the operation Of this most excellent medi-
cine, which never strains or tortures the dj-
gestive organs, but causes them to work in
perfectly natural manner; hence persons ta-
king them do not become pale ana emaciated,
but on the contrary, while all impurities are
being removed, the combined action Of the
Sarsapsrilla and Wild Cherry puriies and In
vigorates the body and q robust state OF health
Is the result OF their united action. Price, 25
