Washington, D. c., son of Judge Tabor,
arrived in our city last Tuesday evening
for visit of some weeks duration with
the family. He is receiving the greetings
of many old and warm friends. who
knew him when a boy in this city years
ago Mr. Tabor informs us that the
stories of Judge Tabor's displacement
from the Fourth Authorship for any
cause or on any grounds of policy or ex-
pediency, are without foundation.

THE Yin0scat0r of last week mention

THE Via0soGt0r of last week mention
ed the circumstance of a lady of Jesup re-
ceiving plant of some kind from Wa
terloo, from the earth surrounding the
roots of which, forty-two grasshoppers
were Matched shortly after Its arrival, and
advanced the theory therefrom, that the
grasshopper plague is at our very doors.
The Waterloo Reporter dissents from this
view, and says that the grasshoppers
were probably the native variety, which
are practically har mless.

DECORATION DAY.-Our community
has been heretofore remiss in the proper
and public observance of Decoration Day,
arising from the lack of some public spir
tied organization to take charge of the
arrangements and push it through to sue
cess. We are therefore happy to an
nounce that Our favorite military organi-
zation, the Independence Guards, at their
meeting on Wednesday evening, took the
initiative steps for such an observance of
the day MAY 30th) as will fifty express
our appreciation of the patriotism, brav-
cry and self sacrifice of the men who
laid down their lives for their coun try,
and at the same time be credit to us as
community. 1t is proposed to have
the usual features of such occasions, D
military and civic parade, an Grafton,
and the peculiar and touching ceremonies
at the graves of the honored dead. Prop
er committees of the Guards will make
the necessary arrangements, and the pro
gramme will be announced hereafter.

In our last issue we ventured to sug-
gest that possibly our respected cotemp-
orary across the way, was temperament
ally incapable of distinguishing q Joke
from funeral procession. He takes ex-
ception to our estimate of his capacity in
this regard, and. apparently, with the
purpose of showing that he does know
the difference between joke and funer
al procession, attempts, in his last issue,
to manufacture a joke OF two. These at
tempts it is not necessary to characterize,
any more than to say that they may pass
if properly labeled after the manner of
Artemus Ward as, (''This is goak'O or
(''This is sarkasm') &c. Feeling in an
amiable mood, we are inclined to modify
our former criticism, respecting our
neighbours powers of discernment, and
here freely admit that he can tell a joke
from funeral procession-provided
the funeral is very solemn and the joke is
as broad as the side of barn If this shall
not prove to be the amcnde honorable, we
are afraid our neighbor is very exacting.

Capital, Labor and Brains,

The conversation of our contem-
porary of the Michiqdn Farmer was
pithy if not pertinent, lately report
ed. Meeting an old farmer, not too
old to be progressive, we asked him
what the farmers of Michigan wanted
most to increase the value of their
crops, fiOcks and herds. "They
ciIants, the manufacturers and the
mechanics want just what the rail-
road men, the lumbermen and the
mining men want they want labor,
capital and brains. There is not a
farm in the State but will stand an
application of this trio-work, money
and thought" We asked him again
what simple and easy methods he
would recommend to the farmers
from which they could get the
quickest returns, and he replied; {;
First, l would recommend that every
cow in the State be crossed by a
thoroughbred bull. / calculate that
would add million and a half of
dollars to the wealth of the State in
two years, and that it would double
the value of the cattle of the State in
four years. Second, l would cross
every breeding eve in the State with
thoroughbred ram, of approved
pedigree, and / calculate that it
would add one pound of wool to
every shearing sheep in two years,
besides improving the fiocks in
many other respects. You can calcu-
late the gain yourself. Third, /
would have every farmer select his
seed of every grain, especially OF
wheat and corn-that is, to pick out
the best and discard the inferior. The
profit would be immense, for there is
no telling how much can be gained
by selection of Seeds" Now, here
are three things within the reach OF
almost every farmer. They required
little money, some work and a
good deal of nerve and will power.
Was the old man right? Let every
farmer adopt these precepts and then
contradict them if he can Western

. The Louisville C0,rier-Jon'nal,
which is published in State where
whiskey ought to be good If any
where, confirms the statement that
probably nine hundred and ninety
nine gallons out of every thousand
that are sold as brandy are made
from vile compound of whiskey
swill, distilled spirits and chemical
abominations, and adds, "And as
it is also equally true of whiskey,
what in the name of goodness are we
all to do for something to drink? 1t
looks as if we are to be driven to the
pump in sDite of us. If the world at
large knew of what villainous stuffs
brandy and whiskey and wines are
made the present crop, of drunkards
would be about the last, or, at any
rate, all future crops would be small.
Nearly, or quite, all the liquors that
are retailed nowadays are undoubt-
edly slow, but sure, poison, and to
drink them habitually is simply a
roundabout way of committing
suicide, and unless you guard your
self carefully the way is not so rounds
about either"

The Presidents Order.

Last week, in conversation with a
friend, the President said that he
desired his civil service order to be
correctly understood, and then he
thought it could not be regarded as
Objectionable, but on the contrary, as
in the interest of efficiency in the
public service, and great benefit to
public morals. He thought the order
was very plain, and it had surprised
him to hear that it was not interpre-
ted as he intended, for he thought
it bore on its face single and clear
meaning. When asked what con-
struction ought to be placed upon the
order with reference to Federal office
holders going home to vote, the Pres
ident replied, Secretary Sherman
and other officers of the Government
from Ohio went home to vote and
to promote the success of their party
generally, and Of course the same
privileges and rights belong to FEEDER
al office-holders from Pennsylvania

To Prevent Sickness.

The pronounced opinions of the ablest
Therapeutists indicate that most diseases
are the direct result of vitiated Blood and
as their successful treatment OF disease is
founded on the principle and practice of
eliminating this blood poison by judicious
purgation, so this same principle, by rea-
sonable adaptation to any case, is the
surest means TO prevent disease.
Keller's Vegetable Life Drops are an alb
solute preventive ofdiseases caused by inn
purity Of the Blood, Of Liver diseases, of
diseases ofthe Stomach, lntestines, etc. Its
corrective influence will prevent or short
en- attacks of Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Merry
Gus Debility, Uterine disorders, Fever and
Ague and all that numerous class of dis
eases induced by malarial poison. Topre-
vent disease, then, purify the blood if
needed by using a reliable Alternative and
purgative; this, conjoincd with the observ-
ance of hygienic directions, will establish
condition of body in which health will
be the rule and disease the exception. A
careful perusal Of the "Manual Of Purga-
tive and Dcpurative Medicine" will fully
illustrate the subject Of which the above
is mere outline, and will clearly indicate
the method of using Keler's Vegetable
Life Drops. To be had at Drug Stores or

sion have reached in mine"
We have never seen an audience
more thoroughly convulsed with
merriment than during the delivery
of the above. Sheridan looked.
While he was talking, like the per-
sonliication OF injured innocence, and
seemed to think it strange that the
audience found anything to laugh at
IN what he vas saying. To him,
losing the office was evidently a seri-
Gus thing.

WhvWe become Sick

Aside from hereditary pre-disposition
to many diseases, there are four prominent
causes of much of human disease, and
these are: Impure air, which causes poi
sonmg of the Blood and Pulmonary dis
eases; unhealthy water, which is q great
source Of Typhoid and kindred feVers;
improper food, which is the cause of
StOmachic and Intestinal arrangement;
ana sudden changes Of climate and tenn
perature, which induce CCHgeStive disor-
ders" Thus, the absolute essentials of life
are often charged with the principles and
poisoned with the Germs of disease and
death. Whenever the proportional prin-
ciples of the Blood become disturbed from
any Of the causes named, impoverishment
or poisoning of this fluid follows; if the
digestive organs act abnormally, Dyspep-
sia and its distressing effects manifest
themselves; any cause that tends to ex-
cite the unusual action of the Liver is
certain to produce Bilious diseases; and
whenever there is a torpitude or sluggish
ness OF the boWels-Constipation, with its
host OF attendant evils, establishes itself.
From these universally accepted truths
1t becomes comparatively easy to explain
Why We Become Sick. BY neglecting
Ihe laws OF nature, and eating unsuitable
food, or eating wholesome food in an
improper manner; by abundant drinking
at meals, by many other improprieties of
eating and drinking, and particularly by
that one Notwithstanding habit peculiar
to the American people-rapid eating

An incorrect version ofan incident
in the home life of Secretary Exarts
which occurred some years ago has
been going the rounds of the news
papers. This is the true story. Some
Years ago Sacretary Evarls retstrnip-
from q visit the Old World.
brought with him pair of paniers
for his children. 1t was about the
time when he was closing his city
residence i'll New York for the sum-
mer to send his family to his country
seat, near Windsor, Vermont. AS
his children were taking their depar-
ture, Mr.. Evarts told them he would
send them donkey, to be used in
carrying articles between Run.
nymede and Windsor. A few DAYS
after the family arrived at Run
nymede, the animal was sent up and
became at once an object of interest
to the children. Miss Minnie, who
was then six years of age seemed to
be much absorbed in observing the
peculiarities of the recently arrived
quadruped. The child was particu-
larly struck with the novelty of his
vociferOus bray, which disturbed the
solitudes of the beautiful valley, and
remarked to her governess that when
she heard the donkey bray it made
her think the animal was very sad,
and she thought it must be home
sick. After some moments rehec-
ton, evidently sy.npathizing with
the unhappiness of the animal, the
child confined, "well perhaps when
papa comes up the donkey won't be
so lonesome"
