If the army is so reduced in numbers that
it cannot protect the frontiers against the
scalpiDg Indians and the freebooting Mexi-
cans, the Democratic members of Congress
will have incurred an odious responsibility.
They crippled both the military and naval
service, and particularly the former, in the
vain hope of making political capital for the
Presidency. In every branch of the Govern
ment the improvident and reckless reduction
Of expenses is source of embarrassment.
The boasted economy will in the end be the
cause of increased expenditure, for deficiency
bills of large amounts must be voted to meet
the requirements of the service, and to make
up losses and neglected repairs.

Mr.. HENDRICKS touchingly said to the
friends who assembled to bid him adieu as he
sailed away to other climes, IL am glad that
1 am not so feeble as Mr.. Tlden." Though
this remark would seem to imply less solicit
tude for the feeble state of Mr.. Tilden's health
than selfgratulation on the robustness of his
own, Mr.. Tilden was touched by it, and said
by way of reassuring his friend: 81 never felt
better in all my life." Tbi, comparison of
notes on their respective physical condition
would seem to suggest a lively appreciation of
the value Of good health as basis of political
ambition. Mr.. Hendricks was glad he was
not SO feeble as Mr.. Tilden for reason which
delicacy forbade him to mention, but which
was quite apparent to the company. And
Mr.. Tilden's avowal of vigorous health was
an equally significant intimation that he ex-
pected to be in condition to relieve Mr..
Hendricks of the tax on his energies which
would be required of the Democratic standard
bearer in 1880.

LATE news from China states that that
gigantic Empire is suffering greatly from in
of flood and famine. The staid conservatism
which has forbidden progression and social
or industrial changes has not prevented a
series of the worst misfortunes that can be-
fall nation, and this fact may strengthen
the disposition shown by some of the ablest
Chinese statesmen during late years, to seek
safety and prosperity in q rapid adoption Of
9hs arts and usagss Of modern civilization.

THE Shoe and Leather Reporter says the
custom of having boot and shoe depart
ment In dry goods houses seems to be gain
ing ground in this country. The goods, are,
of course, for ladies' and misses wear, but
some ladies' clothing houses have engaged in
the business, and sell mems and boys boots
and CATERS. 1t is claimed by some that this
innovation is good one for the trade. 1t
costs little more to add line of boots and
shoes to sell to ladies along with dress goods
and lingerie, and this trade Is safer, as rents
and expenses are divided up among the
different departments.

Tho Finale of the MeSpaden Bank
ruptcy,

By request, for information to the
creditors Of f. McSpadao, we publish
the folla wing letter Of Judge Cothran
to his late law partner. J d. Wilson
and also the order made by Judge
Hopkins in tho matter, by consent
of parties. The property belonging
to the estate will be sold at public
auction for cash, commencing on the
23d day of February next.
MADISON, Wis, Jan. l4th, 1877.
J. ID. Wilson, Esq:
Mr.. Provs is here, and | went be-
fore Judge Hopkins and urged tho
motion for further time TO take tes>
timony 10 the McSpadon case. The
Judge refused to grant further time
and also refused TO appoint an as
signoe; but ordered that the trus-
toes should proceed to give 20 days
notice at once and sell the assets of
the bankrupt. He stated that the
question of the liability OF the trus-
tees tor loss through negligence
should be settled at the final closing
up and also the question of overpay
to Haz4lton. If the trustees fail TO
act at once they will be removed and
an assignee appointed. He thought
that this would be the most expedi~
tious way of closing up the matter.
II takes every thing from under the
control of McSpaden and accom-
plishes reslly ali that we sought, &c
Yours respectfully.

Reliable information places the
number of cases of small pox in High
land at about thirty. John Lynch,
brother of Benjamin Lynch, whose
death we reported two weeks ago,
died on Tuesday, ana their sister was
reported lying at the point of death,
and has probably died ere this. The
spread of the disease is probably ow-
ing, to a considerable extent, to the
disagreement of the doctors as TO
what it was when it first appeared.
and the consequent neglect Of many
persons to protect themselves against
it. We presume that by this time ade-
quate measures have been taken to
prevent its further spreading. If they
have not, the village authorities ought
to be r Inired to answer aohy not

Come Now and Let Us Reason To-
gether.

Why DO people so frequently say to DR..
Pierce, II suppose your Golden Medical Dis
covery cures everythng"2 But it has been
the practice OF knavish chariatans to manu-
facture worthless nostrums and attempt TO
dupe the ignorant and credulous by recon-
mendng them TO cure every form of disease.
To such an exte.t has this been practiced that
il is no wonder that many have acquired pre-
judices against al advertised remedies. But
DR.. Price does not advertise his standard pre-
parations as fcure alls." does not claim that
they will perform miracles, but simply pub
fishes the fact that they have been developed
as specifics for certain forms of disease tor
which he recommends them, after having
tested their efficacy in miny hundred cases
with the most gratifying success. 1t is fact
known to every wei. informed physician that
many single remedies possess several different
properties. Qainine. for instance, has q tom
ic quality, which suggests its use in cases of
debility anti-periodic, by which it is effica-
cious in ague; and febrifuge property,
which renders it efficacious in cases of fever.
The result of ITS administration will also vary
with the quality given and the circumstances
under which it is employed. So, likewise, the
Golden Medical Discovery possesses both
pectora and alteratiye,or blood cleansing pro
pertes of the highes; order. BY reason of
these two prominent properties it cures two
classes of diseases. First, those of the resp
ratory organs, as throat. bronchial, and lung
affections, chronic coughs and asthma, and
second, direases OF the blood and glandular
system, in which sfft etions all skilful physi-
clans employ Alternatives, as in cases of blotch-
es, eruptions, ulcers, swelings, tumors, alb
scesses, and in torpor of the liver of "bilious-
ness" While its use is, by its combination
of properties, suggested in cases of pulmonary
consumption, yet you need not take it except
ing it will cure you if your lungs are half
consumed, nor because it is recommended as a
blood medicine would its proprietor advise
you 10 take IT expecting it to cure cancer. 1t
W II not perform miracles, but it will cure
many grave forms Of disease.

Cough Cordial, sold in the northwest

A Tale Of woe and Dom estic piscord.

BY JARED JALAP
Writtea for the Grant County HERALD.
quieter man, beneath the sun,
Was never known than Solomon
Chubb, but he led weary life
From the day he took himself wife.
The neighborhood, for miles around,
Knew what a wife poor Chubb had found,
And tales were told of war and strife
Twixt Solomon and his fierce wife.
She lectured Oft on woman's sphere,
And people came from far and near
Her household cares she soon forsook--
On Woman's Rights she wrote book.
Years passed away round their fireside
The little Chubb fast multiplied,
But worse and worse her temper grew
Till poor Chubb knew not what to do.
If little Chnbb did chance to cry
With grips and pains, she'd at them fly
And while she'd scold, and thump and whack
Chubbs dosed them well with ipecac,
And strove to hush their shrieks and howls
And soothe their little aching bowels,
BY filling up the manufac-
story of tears wit iDecac

He'd climb the stairs then hurry back,
Fer Mrs. Chubb could thump and twhack
It's life quite out of it, AID then
He'd climb with it, up stairs again;
And when, at last, ned soothed their cries,
And sleep had closed their weeping eyes,
He'd meekly creep down stairs to bed
And draw the covers DER his head
Some ladies may at this demur,
And doubt the faithful chroncler
Who tells the tale; but of this scod
The half has not, nor can be told.
Why, it is said and tn at 'tis true
Deponent vouches-once she threw
The gravy dish and hit poor Chubb,
And that he howled like Beelze5ub
And then she grabbed the frying pan,
And beat that sad and meek souled man
Until his mangled nose was spread
Ger half the surface of his head
And more she did-why, could tell
A thousand things that him befell,
And still the tale be scarce begun
About poor misused Solomon.
But if chose to tell the tale
Particular in each detail
Continued it would run
Through twenty papers ere twas done.
No longer doubt this tale of woe.
One stormy night Chubb home did go
With aching heart and solemn tread,
And straightway he went off to bed:
His wife her slumbers had begun
But soon awoke, with. Solomon
Solomon Chubb, you fendish brute
oh how wish some one would shoot
You through the head But no, their pains
Would fruitless be, you've got no brains !"
And thus she rallied for hours and hours
OF rhetoric she culled the flowers,
Until poor Chubb, in wild despair,
Got up and shrieking, left her there,
And out into the stormy night
He vanished from her startled sight,
And as he went profanity
Came rushing from his lips quite free

The river ran close by the house,
And into it Chubb went kersouse |
Up through the gloom she heard the plunge
As Solomon went down kerslunge.
Thenup she jumped, and up went one
Wild piercing shrek for Solomon
Then out into the night she fed
And to'rd the river quickly sped,
Then shrieked again, "My darling one
o, Solomon my Solomon
She shrieked in vain, then paused to think
Upon the rushing rivers brink
A moment she her hands did rub
Then plunged far down to hunt her Chubb.
