Public Debt OF Spain.

The termination of the Carlist war,
closing at length the frightful drain
upon the resources Of the treasury, must
be followed speedily by measures calcu.
lated to introduce order and economy
into the finances of Spain. Nothing
wilder or more ruipous can be imagined
than the expedients to which excessive
ministers of finance have resorted dur
ing the last few years In order to obtain
funds to carrying on the war with Don
Carlos. II was matter of life and death
for the government to find money, at
least for the troops in the north and
east, and it was found, but upon terms
more befitting Constantinople or Cairo
than European capital. Twenty per
cent. has been frequently paid, and at
times money, which must be had, could
not be borrowed under thirty, in this
way the floating debt has been raised to
E20, 100000, although it is long since
any attempt was made TO pay the hold
ers OF three per cents. 1t is difficult to
arrive at a just estimate of the actual
amount of debt which forms part of the
acknowledged obligations of Spain at
the present moment. There are, how
ever, consolidated debt of e96O, ,OOO,-
900; bonds to the amount of f3O,0O0,-
600 issued In favor of the clergy and of
civil corporations; 100000 of rail
way bonds, and nearly fl0,0OO,0O0 of
miscellaneous convertible debt. Besides
these there are f60,000,00 interior
three per cent. consolidated debt pledged
by the treasury for loans and the float
ing debt already referred to. Leaving
out the hypothecated securities and the
floating debt, we have here f442 ,00O,-
900 on which interest is payable, to
which must be added the floating debt,
which could not be converted at present
prices into less than e125,O00,00 1t
would be quite premature to inquire
when Spain will be able to resume pay
ment of the full interest on her whole
public debt.-IOndon News.

man should vote as untrammeled as the

is democratic just as Vermont is rspub-
lican, because it wants to be. Republi-

as administered by Clayton, Dorsey, Old
Joe Brooks and Poker Jack Mcclure has
been a curse, a blight, a hindrancc almost
unbearable. When these chaps fell to
quarreling among themselves, and their
rule Of corruption and rascality came to
an end, the whites took advantage Of it
and effectually overthrew the whole lot.
They elected Gov. Garland, and framed
a constitution very superior to the old
one, as anybody must admit who reads
the two. Since that time the state has
enjoyed n, degree of peace and prosperity
unexampled in Arkansas since the war.
Don't you remember the Internal rows

II was one tumult after another, one
complication after another, and appeal

To ALL, particularly invalids, spring is trying
season. Indications Of sickness should at once he
attended to. Fatal diseases may be caused by al
lowing the bowels to become constipaied, and the
-ysten to remain In a disordered condition, until
the disorder has time to develop itself. An Of
prevention Is worth pound Of cure, is an old and
truthful saying. Therefore, we advise all who are
troubled with the complaints now very prevalent
headache indigestion diserdered liver want Of ap
petite nausea, or feverish skin, to take, without
delay, schenck's Mandrake Pills. We know Of no
remedy 30 harmless aud decisive in It's action II at
strikes at the root Of the disease and produces
a healthy tone to the system. People never need
suffer from sny disease arisihg from disordered
condition Of the liver II they would take this excel
lent medicine when they feel the hst Indications Of
the maady. Families leaving home for the siin,-
months should take three or four boxes of these
pills with them. They have almost instantaneous
effect They will relieve the patient Of headache in
one or two hours, and will rapidly cleanse the liver
Of surrounding bile, and win eiectually prcveat q
bilious attack. They are sold by all druggists.

FARM AND GARDEN.
A Lesson Prom Cabbage.

Every one knows that cabbages will
not grow fast or hcad out we'll unless
they are hocd very often. Most have
also learned that this crop does the best
if hoed very early in the morning, while
the dew is on the ground. Hoeing later
in the day, when the dew has evapor-
atcd, will not have the same effect. The
reasons appear TO be these: The dew
being covered with soil, is retained, and
helps keep the earth moist. In contains
large amount Of oxygen, which it took
from the air. These act to decompose
the soil and to hasten the growth of
plants. II also absorbs large quantity
Of ammonia, which is directly taken up
by the plant. Now the same cause
ought to produce the same effects ON
other plants, and it has been found by
observing farmers that they do. Market
gardeners prefer TO have potatoes hoed
either when the soil is wet with dew or
after a sight rain.
Observations made by one of the best
farmers In Wisconsin, extending through
many years, convinced him that there
was great advantage in blowing land
while il WIS wet with dew. Especially
was this the case when clover or grass
was plowed under. 1t was found that
the grass and sod rotted much sooner,
and that the succeeding crops were larger
and of better quality.

Silver Coin Enough.

Assurance is given by DIR. Linderman,
director of the mint, that there need be
no apprehension of a scarcity of silver
coin, as there has been issued but g..
100000 under the substitution act,
while the treasury department has on
hand about $l4,000,000, and the mint
coinage will supply from 81 500, 900 to
$2,O00,0 900 per month from this time
forth. II will be necessary, however,
before the $40. 900, 900 OF silver coin re.
serve can be made available for circula-
tion, that congress authorize its exchange
for legal tenders, these, in turn, to be ex.
changed for fractional currency, and the
latter Ia be destroyed. A proposition to
this effect has been introduced, and will
probably be adopted. Another plan for
preventing dearth Of small change will

s~s.e Your own ls.~-.

Raise your own hogs this year. 1t is
not difficult to do. Construct covered
pen or house out of heavy logs or plank
have plank flosr 20 as to allow Of clean
ing; a good strong door with good lock,
and the work is halt done. Devote from
one to ten acres to a hog range; plant it
in peas, potatoes, chufas, artichokes, etc,
and pasture the hogs upon it by means
OF movable fence until the period ar
riyes for corn-feediug. They can easily
be learned to come to their pens at night
by throwing them corn, or giving them a
night feed. by this plan there is no dan
ger of loss by theft. This plan would
also enable the breeder to improve his
stock by judicious crossing with Berk-
shire or other improved breeds on the
best of the native stock. Southern Farmer.

The Cars Dreadful Malndy.

The contemplated temporary retire
ment of the car of Russia and the re-
gency of the czarewitch is a step which
has long been seen TO be sooner or later
inevitable. The czar has for number
of years suffered from the inherited mel
ancholy madness of his family, which
has been fostercd by resort to stimu-
lants as a means of relief. His malady
is a hopeless form of softening of the
brain, and the respite from work which
he is about to give himself can have lit
tie permanent effect, though it may post
pone for year or two the final collapse
The czar's eldest son died mass of dis
ease, and though the present heir to the
throne is of robust constitution, he is
said to be subject to fits OF temper which
recall the vagaries of the line of lunatics
who have previously sat on the Russian
throne. He is understood TO lean very
strongly to the Old Russian party, and
also to be very much under the influence
of his wife, the Princess Dagmar, who
makes no secret of her strong Danish
sympathies. 1t is, therefore, the Ger
mans who have most to fear from a
change in the ruling mind of Russia.
The present car has always been deeply
devoted to his uncle, the Emperor Will
liam, but his son would be more likely
to take an independent course. A league
of Russia, the Scandinavion powers and
France, who is eager for an alley against
Germany, weuld be very formidable for
the new empire.-N. Y. Times Letter.

Vnliusited Remedial K sources.

People sometimes suppose that DIR. Pierce's
Family Medicines represent the entire extent
OF his resources for curing disease. This is an
error. Experience proved that while the
Golden Medical Discovery, Favorite Pre-
scription, Pleasant Purgative Pellets, Com
pound Extract of Smart Weed, and DR.. Sage $
Catarrh Remedy, would If faithfully used,
cure large variety Of chronic complaints,
there would be here and there a case which,
from its severity, or from its complication
with other disorders, would resist their action.
These exceptional cases required a thorough
examination into their symptoms, TO asccr-
tain the exact nature and extent of the dis
ease or diseases under which the patient was
laboring, and the use Of specific remedies TO
meet and overcome the same. This led 10
the establishment Of the Worlds Dispensary,
at Buffalo, N. Y, with its Faculty Of Ply
sicians and Surgeons, each of whom is skilled
in the treatment of chronic disorders in gen
eral and those belonging to his own special
department in particular. To one is assigned
diseases of the throat and lungs; to another
diseases of the kidneys and urogental or
gans; TO another, diseases Of the digestive
system; TO another, diseases of the nervous
system; and TO another, diseases of the eye
and ear. Thus the highest degree Of perfec-
tion in medicine aud surgery is attained.
The establishment OF this institution enables
the Doctor to meet long-felt want in the
treatment OF the more severe chronic affec-
tons. BY a careful consideration of the
symptoms as given in writing, he successfully
treats thousands Of cases at their homes.
Others visit the Dispensary In person. The
amplest resources for the treatment OF lin
gering affections are thus placed at the dis.
posal Of every patient, and those on whom
the proprietary medicines do not have the
desired effect can procure more thorough
and efficient course by personal application
to the proprietor Of the Worlds Dispensary.

shecp en- the Farm.

That sheep can save farms from utter
ruin, and improve the condition Of good
farms, is beyond doubt. However much
we may prize the horse and COW for their
valuable services to mankind, still we
must admit that the keeping of sheep il
very profitable TO the farmer, In that it
brings money to his pocket and improves
the condition Of his land. Experience
has shown that sheep hustandry is di
rectly profitable. There are no losses
and very few risks to bc met with in the
business.
Early lambs, fat wethers, wool and
pelts always bring good prices and find
ready market. Besides, sheep bring up
the condition Of the farm, and, as the
old adage has 1t, "turns the earth TO
gold wherever their footprints are found" J"
Nothing viii improve a farm NO we'll rs a
course Of husbandry in sheep, well se.
lected and judiciously followed. Sheep
can be made the salvation of a poor farm,
and il more Of our farmers would keep
more sheep larger share of prosperity
would Ike the result.
