SUCCESSFUL FARMING.

Rochester Minn. Record and Union.
1t is sometimes said that farming
does not pay. 1t is true
that the net profits of a yearly income
of an ordinary farm are often small and
significant, still, almost any farm, if
properly conducted, will yield satis-
factory return to a prudent and indus
trious farmer. Diligence and persever-
ence as we'll as frugality and skill are
required, and with these the reward
of the honest husbandman is certain
to follow. We give an instance of
success in farming as an illustration of
what can be accomplished on the fer.
tile prairies of Minnesota. A farmer
who came to this State twenty years
ago, bringing few young cattle and
$500 in gold, has now nine eighties or
720 acres of rich farming land in this
county. He has a large quantity OF
live stock, farm Implements and ma
chinery and substantial farm buildings
on which he has an insurance of $$lO,'
900. He has lost by fire, accident and
disease, more property than he brought
to the State, but his real estate and
property are to-day worth $20,000
He has accumulated this comfortable
fortune upon his farm, by means OF
patient industry and perseverance.

HOW TO MAKE OTrAR OF ROSES.

At this time of year, when so many
rose leaves fall to the ground and are
wasted, every lady can, if she chooses,
manufacture a delicious perfume at a
cost of less than fifty cents, and in a
few minutes time. Take a two.gallon
glass jar, and fill full of clean, freshly
picked rose leaves. Then cork it tight
and take two-ounce phial and fit the
neck into the cork Of the two.gallon
jar. Cut some sponge into narrow
strips; soak them in good oil, free
from smell or rancidity, put the strips
into the small phial, turn it upside
down, and put the neck into the bung
of the larger jar. Place them in the
sun for four days, and the heat will
distill the rose leaves, and the aroma

Serious Illness Of Mr. Blaine,

As Mr.. Blaine, in company with Mrs.
Blaine, was entering the vastibule OF the Con-
sregational church at Washington, on Sun
day, the 18th, Mr.. Blaine put his hand to his
head and exclaimed, "Oh, this paint" He
soon became unconscious, and was taken to
his home where prompt attention from
physicians was procured. The attack was
pronounced to be hyper excitement of the
brain and nerves, superinduced by recent
events in which he was prominent actor.
After remaining unconscious over six hours
he opened his eyes and asked his wife what
was the matter. His symptoms were then
more favorable, although he was not fully re-
stored to consciousness. There were no ap-
oplectic symptoms.

Honor to the Memory of Laf;,yette.

Honor to the Memory OF Lafayette.
Thurlow Weed, in communication
to the speaker ofthe House, proposes special
tribute to the memory of Lafayette. He says:
"Half century ago General Lafayette re-
visited America, and as guest of the nation
made triumphant tour through the States,
as you know by reading and by tradition
The affection, enthusiasm, and gratitude
evoked by that visit has no parallel in the
worlds history. Would it not be equally ap
propriate and wise, halfa century after the
visit Of his grandfather, to invite Oscar La
fayette, as the guest Of the nation, to attend
the Centennial anniversary Of our independ-
ence? Our committee has decided to invite
NJ. Lafayette; but it occurs to me that Con-
gress might think proper to give broader
and deeper effect to patriotic

WILD SHOOTING.

Flom the St. Joseph Gazette
The particulars of the shooting af-
fray at Bolton, Cass County, this State,
on last Friday are substantially rs fol-
lows: William Elkins, the wounded
party, is young man who resides
with his parents near Bolton, is sub
ject to periodical sprees, and when in
this mood is very Doisterous. On this
occasion he rode into the village, and
riding his horse upon the sidewalk
was ordered by Marshal Crosby to halt,
but, not needing the command of the
officer, he rode on. The Marshal at
once drew his revolver and began
shooting. After firing several shots
without taking effect, Dr.. Sands, who
was near by, began firing at the re-
treating Elkins. Between the two
they fired eleven shots without hitting
their target. The Marshal at once
left the scene of action, went to his
house and disguised himself, loaded a
double-barreled shotgun and set out to
find his man. Coming upon him a
short distance from where he had left
him, and seeing him about to ride
away, he again commanded him to
stop. Elkins, either not hearing or
not wishing to obey, started his horse,
when the disguised officer discharged
both barrels of his gun at him, the
charge taking effect in the right shoul-
der. He is dangerously wounded. and,
it is feared will not recover. The af-
fair has created great excitement, and
it is feared, is not yet settled.

The Blaine Investigation.

In the investigation of the charges
against James e. Blaine for dealing in stocks
ofsubsidized railroads, the committee work
was practically brought to close by Mr..
Blaine producing and reading in open ses-
sion Of the House portion of the letters OBJ
tanned from the man Mulligan. 1t was ac-
knowledged on all sides that the unexpected
course Of Mr.. Blaine was master stroke in
his favor. In the subsequent proceedings OF
the House not day passed but some incident
OF an III usual character took place, creating
much excitement. On one occasion when
Mr.. Blaine insisted OH completing remark,
after he was called to order by the speaker
pro tenn, he was informed that unless he
took his seat the officers would be called
upon to compel him to do so. At another
time the chairman, Cox, made statement
directed at Blaine, and added that all state
ments to the contrary ''are positively and
intamously false the chair says so ON honor" :"
To which Mr.. Blaine said, ''That is very par
lamentary language"

BILE force and clearness, his reasons for devot-

department of medicine-the treatment of
lingering chronic diseases. The same article
also takes up the subjects of diagnosis, meth
ods of consultation and treatment, etc, and
will he found to contain many valuable hints
to the invalid. DR.. Pierce is the author OF a
work which has already attained large cir
culation-"The People, 3 Common Sense Med
