small Farms.

Our exchanges frequently con tain antlcies advising our people to adopt the small farm system, and we has'e several times done so ourself. Everyone should look to comfort and health, as we'll as to accumu.a'ing money, and sure ly small Arm does not bring 50 many vexations, troubles and losses as a large one. If man owns a laras plantation and can not sellit, or wishes to keep it for his children, all right. but it seems to us to be unwise, such
 times as tliese, to cultivate large fields with hired hands. It is al-
 mos, insanity itself to attempt to make money Dy farming now, but with great ,rugality and prudent managemebt, if one is free from debt, he can live comfortably and at the same time improve his prop erty, which improvement is as good to him as money. Small farms are better than big planta- tions, in our opinion, and sever-l can be made from one.--Grange.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. |1lAIN in the right side, under the edge ofthe ribs, increases on pres sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie
 on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shouldcr-blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is. sometimes mis- taken for a rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss Of appetite and sickness; the bowels in general are costive, sometimes alter native with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally considerable loss ofmcmory accompanied with pain full sensation of having left undone
 something which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is some times an attendant. The patient complains of wcariness ard debility ]; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exercise would be bcne. ficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon mp fortitnde enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every rem edy. Several of the above symp- toms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex- isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the LIVER to have been extensively deranged. AGUE AND FEVER. DR. C. gMcLANE's LIVER PILIs,
 IN CASES OF AcuE AND FEVER, when taken with Quinine, are productive ofthc most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them A FAIR TRIAL.
 For all Bilious Arrangements, and as simple purgative, they are un- equaled.

satisfaction, especially among those
who think they have not been accord
ed the prominence to which they are

spicuous cases are Hunton Of Virgin

generally conceded that he was not

a greatly inferior place. The reason
for this is not known except to
the speaker himself, as Hunton

Springea was on Foreign affairs and
aspired to the craftsmanship, bnt

OLIVER P. MORTON, Senator of the
United States from Indiana, died at
Indianapolis on Thursday evening
last. MI. MORTON was bornin Wayne
County, Indiana, in 1928, andeonse-
quently was in his oath year when
he died. He vas a graduate Of Mi
ami University, Oxford, Ohio, and a
lawyer by profession. The first po-
sition of public trust he held was
District Judge in 1852. He was
elected Lieutenant Governor of his
State in 1860 and became Governor
in 1851, by Henry S. LANE, Cover
nor elect, being elected Us. Sena-
tor, by the Republican Legislature.
His first term of service in the Uni
ted States Senate began on March
4th, 1864, was elected for a second
term and at the time of his death
had nearly two years of unexpired
time to serve. He was originally a
Democrat, and that he was a man of
talent and ability is true. she was
cunning, wary, and unscrupulous-
a politician of wonderful fertility and
success; but those large views and
firmly held principles which are in
dispenseble in the higher type of
public man were not his. He aimed
always at the advantage of the mo-
ment, and was just as ready to gain
his ends by means which a high con
scientiousness would reject as by any
Others. That a thing was tricky OF
Immoral did not make it odious in
his eyes provided it could be made
useful in politics. Yet he was a
patriot. He loved his country sin
eerely. Every fibre in his nature
was American, eyen when he resort.
ed to doubtful measures. The good
of the country he really believed
could only be promoted by the sue
cess of the party to which he was de-
voted; and while he was carried
away by the intensity of his party
feeling into regions and into actions
where a mar of nobler nature would
not consent to go, there was yet such
an Astounding force in his mind and
such a,frank demagogism in his cor
duct that he commanded a certain
kind of respect even from those who
condemned him. We add also to his
credit in these times, that he was not

The names ofanumber of prominent

Gen'l Geo. w. Morgan is spoken of,

and fearless ''soft money champion.
General Ewing, however, has been
already elected to the lower House
of Congress. and in that body can
do the people as great a service, if
not greater, than in the Senate. AS
leader of the Western Democracy,
a position already accorded to him
by common consent, he can effect for
the people more than any other sym

therefore, that Gen. Ewing is out Of

Pendleton's unwavering Democra-
cy during all the years of defeat and
encouragement of the party and his
affection for the South are the two
cards his friends are playing TO Sc
cure his election. His opponents
say that he is not q Democrat, but
IAN aristocrat, rich and pampered, a
nan who was born with a gold spoon
in his mouth, and never did q days
honest labor in his life" 1t is
thought that he has great strength
in the southern part of the State, but
the hostility to him in other sections
is strong and active. Some of Val
landigham's friends in Dayton are
very bitter against him fer what
they call his treason when Thurman
was elected.

From the Alliance Leader.

The Senatorial campaign within
the Democratic party of Ohio is be-
coming quite lively. Pendleton and
Ewing are more prominently spoken
of, however, than the names of any
other candidates, and were it not for
the fact that Ewing is already elect
ed a member of Congress from his
District we should have but little
choice between the two. AS it is,
we think the noble principles advo-
Gated by both of these talented cham
pions can be best subserved by re-
tanning Mr.. Ewing in the House and
electing Mr.. Pendleton tothe Senate.
We trust he will be elected.
