A Very Valuable Work.

HISTORY OF THE GRANGE MOVEMENT. OR
THE FARMERS WAR AGAINST NoNoP.
oLlEs." Being full aud authentic ac.
count of the struggles of the American
farmers against the extortions of the rail-
1 R;aa companies ana pies With History Of the
Patrons OF Husbandry. Published by the
NATIONAL PUBLISHING Co., Of Chicago
and st, Louis.
The most remarkable and powerful
movement OF the present day is, unques-
tlonably, the War which the Farmers are
wagiing against the Monopolies Of all
kinds that have for so long been robbine
the people and expressing the toiling
portion of our community.
The work begins with the causes
which have arouse the American people
against the monopolists, and treats of the
railroad system of the country, its growth,
actual condition and prospects. It then
shows how this noble system has been per.
verified to further the ends of selfish capi.
talists and railroad directors, who seek
gain at the expense of the community:
and we are given terrible and thrilling
account of the crimes and frauds of the
railroad corporations of today. The
author wields fearless and vigorous
pen, and points Olt the evils which this
selfish greed has entailed upon US. He
shows how the great corporations have
been able to control the whole country:
how they have robbed the nation, and
corrupted our Congress-, State Legisla.
lures, and Courts of Justice.
Passing from the Monopolists and their
outrages, the author takes up the cause of
the wronged and oppressed farmers, and
gives US detailed statement of the evils
from which the farming class is suffering.
He analyses skillfully the causes of these
evils, and shows how and by whom the
farmers are robbed.
A considerable portion of the work is
devoted 10 history of the Order of Pa.
irons OF Husbandry. A complete account
OF the organizations and objects of the Or
der is given; its laws and mode of pro-
cedure are stated; and each feature is ex.
planned at length.
1t is decidedly the most interesting and
useful volume of the day, and as it comes
at a time when the whole country is suf
fering intensely from the effects of the
evils 1t denOunces, cannot fail 10 have a
tremendous sale. 1t is an ably written
work, and bold and vigorous plea in
behalf of the farmers and all who are op-
pressed and robbed by the grasping Mo.
nopolies which are causing so much
trouble.-Ezchange.

DON'T TAMPER WITH A CouGH.-Perbaps 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 q temporary affection
unpleasant and nothing more; but to those
who have paid dearly for experience, it is the
signal Tor 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 enc
my to thwart, il met by the proper remedy.

Women Of Burden in Germany,

ut is remarkable" says a writer on
German life, in the Boston Globe, "what
great burdens German women carry on
their heads. One may meet them con.
stantly with great tubs and kettles of
water on their heads. MANY of them
carry loads of vegetables to market in
great white WOO don tubs, wearing a little
round plated mat next to the head.
One sees the strangest loads, too, poised
in mid-air. Vegetables of all kinds and
cheese are carried by them. Suddenly a
woman comes along with an immense
pile OF faggots tied in bundles, some for
burning, aud some, which are saplings,
Tor brooms and baskets. Another one
comes bearing great baskets of turf for
kindling fires; and often do we see on
these women's heads loads of kindlins
wood. The German peasant woman &C.
cupies position little better than slave.
performing the most mental services for
mere pittance. Any night around the
fountains and water tanks NAV be seen
crowds of these young women with
great tubs and half.barrels, almost, in
size, waiting in turn to carry water for
their use the next morning. These per-
sons should have word spoken in their
behalf, for they have q weary life, and
their position is pitiable one. They
are expected to black boots, carry bur.
dens, do any and all kinds of drudgery.
and are paid mere nothing for their
work, depending good deal on Trink.
geld collection for doing odd jobs and
errands Of kinds. In many German
houses they are given monthly little
extra sum. They are expected to do any
thing and everything that in our country
the man servants do. Coming from the
opera host of these girls may be seen
with wrappings for their mistresses to
wear going home. Women occupy Ger.
tainly In common . position far below
the American woman in q relative posi.
ton in society. In the. streets they are
constantly seen. pulling wagons ct for
one horse to draw. The woman il only .
servant, as it were, not the hostess, a. we
understand tho terM in her own home"

To THE SUFFERINa.-Anol old retired ply
sicia n who is candid enough to tell the
truth, about progress, has declared that
the recent discovery by DIR. WALKER, of
California, of his herb remedy, VINEGAR
BITTERs, is one Of the most important in
medicine. He has tested them thoroughly,
in his own family, among his friends,
and upon hinsself; and he is driven to the
conclusion that they possess rare and an
excelled curative properties. He says of
them: They contain no dangerous drug.
They never reduce the patient-nevcr
render one liable to take cold-never in
tertere with the every day business of life
never make their continuous use con-
dition of cure, and are adapted to even
the most delicate organization. They act
as kindly on the tender infant, the deli
cate female, or infirm old age, as on the
vigorous and athletic system; exercising
healthful effects upon every blood vessel
