Services for . Basnrnl Lover.

The Glens Falls IN. j. Messenger de-
scribes recent suit at law for services
rendered in that vicinity, as follows:
A very curious and interesting case at
law has just closed at Thurman, before
James c. Pollard, Justice, and Jury. The
defendant was q Yidower desirous Of Sc
curing anOtherhelpmeeto or wife, but being
of rather bashlul and retiring disposition,
with a very limited acquaintance in soci-
city, he was prone 10 seek assistance of
Others TO effect the much-cOveted object of
his heart. According TO the evidence
given it appears that the defendant on one
or more occasions requested the plaintiff
to speak with certain lady of his (the
plainunHs) acquaintance ON the subject Of
a marriage with defendant And defend
ant aycrred in his sworn statement that he
told the plaintiff: Ii he could do him any
good he would see it made good with him
IN due time The plaintiff, tcstifying in
his own behalf, affirmed that he had CON
sumed in all five and quarter days in
going to see the lady and her connections
10 bIinga favorable influence to bear for
the defendant, and that he charged the de-
fendanl -four dollars per day for these serv-
ices. Plaintiff also affirmed that he did
not see the lady in question but once, and
was only in consultation with her aud
another lady mot partieularizcd) about
three hours. The Court considered the
price charged exOrbitant, and incompoti-
bic with the services performed, and
that no services actually for the defend
ants benefit had been rendered. The
matter was left with thejury, who returned
in less than five minutes with the verdict
of No cause for action The judgment
against the plaintiff was $5.46."

What the Records show.

While we have intended to wage an ag-
grcssive warfare upon the Democratic
party, unmoved by the storm of loose &C.
cusation which has ragged and still RACES
against the Republican party, the people
must not lose sight of the facts of history.
The records show that the Republican
party has effected a reduction of $640, ,OO0,- :
900 of the debt volume since 1865 1t has
reduced the annual interest charge about
forty and a half millions. 1t has saved
$4,000, 900 annual interest charge by fund.
ing Q per cents. in bonds bearing lower
rates. 1t has reduced taxation nearly
500, 900, 600 annually since 1866. 1t has
reduced the customs taxes about $50, 900.
600 since 1873. Since the Republicans
came into power they have raised the
credit of the nation from IL per cent. be-
low par to 20 per cent premium. Mr..
Buchanan was able to borrow only about
half as much as he needed topay current
expenses at 10 or II per cent. The ma
ton is now able TO go into the money
market of the world and borrow at per
cent. This series OF achievements would
have been impossible had the public mon
eys been squandered as our opponents al
lege. They may accuse but they dare not
lay the record before the people. The
fact that Republicans invariably appeal to
the record is a sufficient reply to the dec
lamation of the Democratic leaders. The
Republican party has had the thankless
task of paying the gambling debts the
Democracy laid upon 1t. Probably we
ought To expect nothing but abuse from
the consclenceless spendthrifts.-Phi

Once More UnIiod.

.
Tho return 10 the Republican ranks OF
the better class of Liberal Republicans Is
gratifying fact II indicates unity OF
purpose among intelligent citizens TO
keep Democracy out of power.
This return 70 the party of those who
left in 1872 was TO be expected. In that
year personal grievances led to a rupture
of party relations. The Democrats, tax.
ing advantage of this, thought to defeat
the Republican party by accepting a life.
long Republican as their standard-bearer.
The popular verdict rendered by the peo.
pie was not against MIR. Greeley as an in.
dividual, but against the party ut his
back. Mr.. Greeley might be trusted; the
Democratic party, despite Its promises,
could not be. Those Republicans who
voted for Mr.. Greeley did so out of re.
spect for his long service in the cause of
human freedom. Their admiration for
the man led them to overlook or disregard
the dangerous political elements which
would have neutrallzed his good inten-
tions had he been elected. In addition TO
this personal devotion to an old leader
many Joined the Liberal ranks, believing
that new party was TO be formed that
would draw from The two great parties
their very best material. Thus the Re-
publican party had been created, and 1t
was thought that thus great Liberal party
could be formed. They had no desire to
join the Democratic party. Between the
two they preferred the Republican party
but they wanted something better than
either3 They failed in their design. The
people were not ready to accept third
party; the majority had confidence in the
one in power, and the Democrats refused
TO go out Of their organization. So the
Liberal movement failed, and the major
ity of those who favored it have reunited
in good faith with the Republican party
A few designing men have ehdeavored to
transfer them to the Democratic party but
they could not be bought or sold. They
have opened their eyes to the fact that the
issue Is between the two great parties of
the day. and that every vote cast for side
issues is half vote for the Democratic
party. Knowing this, they will not be
parties to plucing in power party that
they know to be corrupt and unworthy Of
public support These facts all point 10 a
united party in 1876, and through this
unity to brilliant Republican victory

This is an expression that we hear from
doctors when they are in doubt about
the nature of the disease Of their patients.
The country seems to be filed with such
cases, and they are trying first one remedy
and then another, hoping in vain to find
relief. They generally have the following
symptoms: A general depression Of spirits,
with evil forebodings, whirling sensation
in the head when rising up suddenly, foul
breath, with a bad taste in the mouth,
especially in the morning, pain in the sides
and back, urine scunty and high colored,
frequently voided with difficulty, frequent
headaches, distressed feeling at the pit Of
the stomach, food atfording no nourishmcnt
The patient feels tired all the while, and
sleep affords but little rest. After time q
dry, hacking cough sets in, followed after
time with expcctoration, hands and feet cold
and clammy at times, a general wasting of
the body. In such cases we need a remedy
that will act upon the liver, Kidneys, stomach
and blood at the same time, and when we
use such a remedy it affords relief. The
best article for this purpose is the SHAKER

paIlr Care OF House.Plantr.


In many instances when the contents of
flower-pots are sprinkled daily with water
the soil at the middle will become hard
and dry. When the ball Of Garth becomes
dry II takes water long time TO penetrate
il, and surface waterings do not accom-.
plish the object. In this case set the pot
In pail of water and let IL soak until the
earth is thoroughly wetted through. If
proper care in the respects above men
toned fails to induce proper growth,
then the plant must be repotted with fresh
earth and have portion of Its top cut
back. Irregularities in shape must be
corrected from time to time by pinching
off the shoots which may start to grow
out of place. I.rs tl
The red spider Is quite adverse to moist
ure; the green fly, however, likes it, but
may be destroyed so readily by tobacco
smoke that only neglected plants will suf-
fer from this cause. The mealy-bug is so
large that 1t may be easily picked off.
Watering must be properly attended to-,
and while the plant must not suffer from
lack of moisture the roots must not be
kept saturated with water. The sound of
the pot when struck by the knuckles is
quite different when the ball of earth is
wet from what 1t is when dry. This and
the tagging look of the plant will indicate
that water is needed. A little practice
will soon enable one to anticipate the
wants of the plant and to supply water at
the proper time. IN. Y. Herald.
