INTERMITTENT FEVER is so COM
mon in the country as scarcely to
need comment. The causes which
produce it are such as cold, irregular
living, over exertion, low spirits,
night air, exposure to miasmatic ex-
halations, etc. In large cities where
edge tools and agricultural imple-
ments are manufactured, the grinder
protects his lungs from the injurious
effect of the dust flying of the grind
stone by wearing a respirator. The
coal miner ere he descends the shaft
provides himself with safety lamp
to guard against fire damp. Now it
is equally necessary for those who
are brought in contact With any of
the causes leading to intermittent
fever, to provide themselves With
that we'll known and highly esteemed
remedy against it, the HONE SroM.

John 4. Logan.

Senator Logan has come forward
as Reformer. He is prosecuting
the late Secretary of War with zeal
which is q source of surprise to ali
who know him. People wonder
what has brought about the change.
That man should be pursuing even
to the extent of apparent yindictive-
ness, another who is, charged with
doing only the very things which he
has approved in others, impels us to
look about for causes. Has he been
listening to Woody and Sankey, or
has he been brought under the holy
influences Of the pious and Grant
fearing Newman? To those who
have no opportunity of going behind
the scenes, the transformation is q
mystery; to those who can get a
glimpse beyond the veil 1t is as clear
as can be. The mans nature has
not been changed, He is nearly in
pursuit Of fallen competitor. He
is satisfying, so far as he can, the
vengeance that he has been nursing
for years. He expected the portfolio
of the Secretary Of War, under Gen.
Grant; when Rawlings was appointed
he could scarcely hide his feelings of
disappointment and chagrin; and
when, upon the death of Secretary
Rawlings, he was again passed over,
and Belknap put into the vacancy,
his rage and modification knew no
bounds. Then and there was the
oath taken, that when the opportu-
nifty offered, he would swoop down
with all his venom upon his success
full rival. The favorable time has
arrived, and Logan is found fighting
in the cause Of honesty. Let us not,
however, mistake his motive, but
avoid him as we would wolf, even
though clad in the fleece Of a sheep.
