themselves honest, faithful aud capable
servants of the people, and TO the honor
of themselves and their constituents
will owe their continuation in
public service to this cause.
Senator Stewart is perhaps the
wealthiest among them, aud if
necessary, he will spend small for

senatorial scat.
Of those whose tenure of senatorial
office is matter of uncertainty, is
Brownlow, whose service is likely to
be cut short by death at any moment !;
Sprague, whose financial failure will not

From the \. y. World.
Mrs. Walter Q. Lymons lectured at
Association Hall yesterday on NERVOUS
Diseases" as follows
The human body Is complicated at
fair First, is the bony form or frame
work; over this, the muscular system and
everything both the nervous aud Intelligent
one, and above all the brain. carefully
protected by the skull, and far within us.
From the brain go out little fine threads
of nerves communicating with all parts of
the body; hence the mind NAV not be af-
fected without influencing the body, or
the body without affecting the mind. In
the hands the nerves are many, also in
the feet producing sensitiveness. The
nerves in the bottom of the feet connect
with those Of the spine, which makes inn
proper care Of the feet the occasion of
many nervous headaches; for these head
aches try foot-bath twice day. allowing
the feet to remain in the water long
enough to absorb the water needed, ff-
teen or twenty minutes One hour of
mental anxiety will derlnge the functions
of the body more than year OF physical
labor without worry In one part Of the
brain lies the nerves which control.
through the will, the animal part of our
natures, while in another place are the
nerves controlling the digestive organs,
the generatIve org7us, etc. etc. Any
trouble in either Of these parts of the
brain affects of course the organs il con

owing to the wise ami peculiar distribu-
ton of its nerves. The left side of the
body is more liable to disease than the
right, owing to our being a one-handed
people, and exercising one side more than
the other. Teach children to use both
hands alike and to have perfectly devel-
oped bodies. Women who use their
brains much and judiciouslv at the same
time, are happier, healthier, and live
longer than those who allow household
and other cares to absorb them-eet away
now and then from all vexations and
troubles, find rest in picture galleries,
reading-rooms, and places of amusement.
Ladies who are very nervous, with the
palms of of the hands and hollow of the
feet hot, put the hands in water to cover
the pulse, the feet in water, and battle
the temples and head behind the ears.
There Is an electric action in water; il is
also required for the system; fve-eighths
of the body being pure water, or should
be. For constant irritation in the small
of the back, hip baths are good; for ex-
haustion and restlessness they are strongly
advised. Turkish baths are also exceed
ingly beneficial, and may be taken by
some people as often as once week with
good effect; they improve the complexion.
and tone of the flesh.

Cooking Food tor Castle.

Hon. Geo. Gedde, in the Tribune says:
Only a few cases will justify the expense Of
cooking food to make beef; the great body
of northern farmers viii not feed far into
the winter, and only a few Of them will
have a sufficient number Of animals to
Justify the extra cost Of labor involved in

per day Of Indian meal with good forage,

Twelve or thirteen hundred-pound steer

from all the food given More meal will
often cause the animal to fat faster, but
not enough faster to justify the extra cost.

Culture of rhc Peanut.

This crop demands the very best atten-
ton OF the farmer in regard to selection
of soil, seed, and general culture The
soil IN which the peanut :. does most de-
light is moderately light. both in tex
ture and color, resting on firm clavev
sub-soil. 1t should be moist but thor
Oughly under-drained 1t must be highly
calcareous and full of vegetable matter or
" thrashy.' The seed should be carefully
selected from well-matured nuts, and
shelled with gentle hands. so as not to en-
danger the connection between the germ
and the seed cotyledons, which latter form
the leaves when the plant comes up.
They should be carefully eulled and only
the largest and plumpest nuts used, for
although the small, imperfect, and shriv-
eled nuts viii readily vegetate, they
never produce vigorous and rapidly
growing plant. As both the seeds as
well as the hulls themselves contain the
alkaline chlorides and phosphates in large
quantities, one can readily see that the
manures best adapted to this crop
must contain these elements in a
large proportion such Is rich stable
compost or the ammoniated superphos
pilates all applied broadcast The best
previous preparation for this crop Is pea
lay, mace by sowing black peas broadcast
in May or early in June and turning
under vines, leaves and all. as soon as
they are dry. They must be turned I'M
der as shallow as can be to insure com
plete covering of the vines. In April or
the following year let this land be plowed
about four inches deep and treated with
twenty-five to thirty bushels of freshly
slaked lime to the acre narrowed in the
land be thrown up in low, single ridges,
about three feet apart, and suffered to
have about one good soaking rain, 81 as
to make ridges settle a little The seed
should be planted about the 1st of Nav.
II the weather be mild ani the ground
not too wet, and the distance of from fif-
teen to eighteen inches, two seeds ia a
place about an inch or two apart They
sho1ld be planted about half an inch
deep and covered lightly. The crop must
be thoroughly cleaned at the first and sec
Dad workings, so rs not to leave sprig
OF grass in the patch. If this be done,
there will be little trouble in the after
cultivation. As soon as the seeds come
up and begin to grow, run a turning pillow
very close TO the plants and throw off
the dirt; let the hand hoes follow and
scrape of and destroy all the grass. If
needed, replant at this time. In about
twelve or fourteen days throw out the
balk, so as to leave the land level. Weed
with hand hoes if necessary. In about
fortnight, side (not SO close) and throw
out the middles at the same working. Bv
this time the plants will begin to throw
down the peduncles, at the extremities
Of which the peanut is formed under
the ground, and they must not be distri-
buted. The middles must be kept clean
and loose, and the land nearly level. If
this course is pursued, and the seasons
are propitious-i. e., moist-a fine crop
may be expected. Rural Messenger.
