1T seems that little jimmy newcomb,
late secretary of State, lacked about
forty counties of turning over all the
returns of the State election. Many OF
the missing returns have since been
found, and it is now believed the full
returns will increase Cokes majority
over Davis to about fifty-ilve thousand.
Enough is known to prove that the en-
tire Radical vote of the State is not
equal to the whole cOlored vote. There
are about 1000 colored voters in the
State. Yet Davis has not received over
fifty thCasand, il so many. Then, as
there are from four to six thousand
white Radicals In the State, II follows
that eight or ten thousand colored men
voted the Democratic ticket. But 1t is
a sad commentary on the boosted free
dom of the black man that most of
that large number had to vote with
colored tickets, lest their own race, in
cited by vicious white manipulators,
should do them bodily harm, Viva Ia

nIRtrInOnV,

All young men and most young women
have an interest in this subject, as it is a con-
dition in life to which all look forward and
hope to attain at some future period, and if
the young man has any prudence he will not
assume the responsibilities Of married life
until he can make some provision for the sup
port of those dependent upon him, should he
be called away by an early death. In the great
majority of cases this provision can be secured
by means of a life insurance policy that will
cost but a small sum annually, and yet pro-
vide all the security that can be desired. One
of the most reliable Of these companies is the
PENN MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY,
of Philadelphia, through which life policies
my be obtained, or agencies secured, by ap-
plcation to the home office or to JAS. W.

Killing Potato Bugs.

This is what a Nebraska farmer says
about it: AS soon as the soft bugs or
grubs are Matched in the early part of.the
spring, harrow the patch with slanting
(backwards) tooth harrow; the beams
knock off the grubs and the teeth bury
them in the soil, from which they have
not power to rise When the plants are
over six inches high | use two-horse
four-shovel corn cUltivator having hung
sticks of round fiTewOOd, three feet long,
by ropes transversely across the frame
about foot and a half in advance of the
shovel-blade; the dangling sticks knock
of the grubs, and the shovels ettectually
bury them. do this in the middle OF a
hot, dry day, and have kept two acres
completely clean by going through once
a week, thus keeping down the bugs and
the weeds at the same operation. Two to
three hours work of this kind will &C
complIsh more than dozen children in a
whole day with sticks and pans, accord
ing to the old way.-Pra5r5e Farmer.

KATYDiD.
BY MRS. g. VAN sANTvOoRD.

BY MRS. q. VAN sANTvooRD.
Piping forlorn your querulous song,
Stoutly insisting that Katy was wrong;
Tell me, did Katy prove false or untrue,
That she should be lastingly censured by you,
Garrulous Katydid?
Where hast thou been through the long summer
day?
Hiding forsooth, meath the sweet-scented hay,
Coming thy scandalous tale for the night,
To babble 1t DER with a frenzied delight,
Gossiping Katydid.
Cease thy vain prattle the night Is so clear,
No sound but the sweetest should steal on the
ear,
Birds sleep in their nests but no sumber for
thee;
How shrilly the plant ringing out from each
Katydid! Kstydid!
Poor Katy's accusers outnumber host;
Dissembling no mercy, they make it their boast,
From darkness to daylight, in discordant strain,
With frantic endeavor still croaking amain,
Katydid, Katydid.
Then, piping forever your querulous song
Insist, If you will, that poor Katy was wrong
Your challenge will die on the sweet summer
air;
And for charges SO vague honest Katy won't care,
Mischievous Katydid!

Of the stomach, ulcers Of the womb. and other
female weaknesses for several years, causing
her to suffer the most excruciating pain at
times, and nearly uniting her from perform

have been consulted and employed without at
fording any permanent relief, and we we're
about to despair of her ever being helped, when
we called upon DR.. Vim. IL. Ne'son, for a
clairvoyant examination, and he described her
case 80 accurately that we decided to take mag
netic treatment, commencing about the first OF
May last, and continuing treatment from two
to three times week until the first OF August,
at which time she had 30 far recovered as to be
able to do her household work. washlngs in

the desk?
IL, Analyze capital o.
A higher standard OF proficiency will be re-
quired of those who obtain certificates this
Fall than has ever before been required by me
1t has always been my object since I have held
this position to make each succeeding examina-
ton more critical and thorough than the pre-
ceding ones have been, and thus by gradua
ascending scale reach that ideal proficiency
among our teachers which the schools and the
times and the wages paid seem to demand.

Sept. 18th. Of cholera-infantum, LEO, SON c
j. L. and E. Stevens, aged 10 months an
twenty-six days.
Leo, precious, bright-eyed darling,
Angels called thee home to-day;
Naught is left US of our treasure
But this lovely bit Of clay.
These little hands forever quiet,
Tired little feet at rest
Marble brow and waxen lids,
Cold blue lips so tightly pressed,
All that's left us OF our baby,
And this soon must leave our sight.
Sad our hearts-oh, sad and lonely
Dark and drear our hearts to night.
Oh, my babe we'll miss thee sadly
When the morrow comes again,
And this loved form of our darling
In the cold, dark earth is LAIN.
And dreary days and nights will bring
An aching void no tongue can tell,
But though stricken, still not hopeless,
For " He doeth all things we'll"
And we know our loved ones living
Still beyond this vale of tears;
Not for him LIES dusty highway
And the toilsome stretch OF years
Not for HIM the sore temptations,
Restless longngs and defeat;
No dead hopes and buried joys
For HIM who walks the golden street.
Borne away through flowery by-paths,
Rests he by LIES river now;
All unconscious OF the tear-drops
Falling on this marble brow.
Father, needed we this Christening?
Yet we say, Thy will be DONE"
That Thou gavest, Thou hast taken,
Is he not thy chosen one?
