WHATEVER may be said of the
hardships Of the farmer, land many
of them are imaginary he is the in
dependent man after all. While
banks are breaking, merchants fail
ing, foundries cooling down, mills
stopping, and manufactures becom-
ing silent, the farmers soil is just as
productive as ever. His markets
may seem dull, it is true, and he
may at times feel discouraged, but
he has his own lising-starvation
never crosses his path. His cotton
fields and his sheep will yield him
clothing, his granaries bread, his
stock meat, and his garden and
orchard Injuries. So amid tho real
distress of other callings ho is still
the independent farmer. Young
man, think of these things before
you make up your minds to look up
some other calling.

CURE FOR HOG CHOLERA.

all my hogs with cholera and in
1869 the disease returned, and after
trying everything that could think
or hear Of without success, | gave
them strychnine, which proved sat>
isfactory. Having but few hogs
aud little strychnine, ! put a half
gallon of shelled corn into a vessel
covered the corn with water, then
dumped in all the strychnine that |
had i suppose about half grain to
the hog | placed it near the fire
place, and kept it the;e all night
In the morning | called the hogs,
and threw it among them.
Being satisfied with the result !
recommended it to my neighbors,
and but few of them would venture
to try it. have used it ever since
and it never fails to cure when props
erly given. A particle, the size of
n grain of wheat, is dose for hog
twelve months old; if older give
more, if younger give less, Arsen>
ic is just as good, but it does not act
so quickly. BE careful not to feed
the sick hogs alone, lest the healthy
ones get too much and should it so
happen, drench with raw eggs,
sweet milk or lard if the eggs are
not convenient.
The remedy will cure thumps in

bread for thumps when but few have

SENSIBLE ADVICE.

A great many boys, as well as
men, complain that they cannot get
employment. Perhaps it is hard to
get such a place as you like, but
when you get place, make yourself
useful 10 it; make yourself so neces.
esary, by your fidelity and good be-
havior, that they cannot do without
you. BE willing to take low price
at first, no matter what the price
is, if it is honest work. Do it well
do it the very best you can. Be-
gin at the very lowest round of the
ladder and climb up. The great
want anywhere is faithful, capable
workers. They are never drug in
the market. Make yourself one of
these, and there will always be a
place for you, and good one, too,

Prospects for Passage.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The compro-
mise electoral bill has lost some strength
to-day. 1t is reported that no more
than but four or five Republicans be-
sides the members of the committee
have absolutely determined to vote for
the bill. Republicans generally are
non-committal and anxious to avoid
debate, though it is more than likely
the measure will pass the Senate. Gar
field, though ill, will vigorously fight
the bill. 1t is believed that the Demo-
cratic caucus will agree to give party
vote to the bill. The bill gives the Dem
ocracy a chance to retreat from posi-
tion which has become uncomfortable,
and even to gain some applause by the
retreat, while Republicans give up an
impregnable position and submit their
cause to tribunal whose decision is un-
certain, because it is uncertain whether
the bill requires them to act within the
well-settled principles of law. OF course
the Democrats will almost unanimously
seize upon this opportunity which has
been offered them, chiefly by the efforts
of three senators who took very little
pains to aid the party during the can.
vass. The speech of Edmunds is said
to have converted Stephens to the sup
port os the bill.

ping to begin before the Oregon tele-
grams are made public. 1t is not likely
that any such proposition will be agreed
to, as the members Of the Republican
committee assert that they have sent
no dispatches which they are not able
to defend. On the contrary, certain
indignant Democrats admit that some of
Col. Pelton's kilograms about the Or
egon election are of an exceedingly in
discreet character, though they stoutly
claim Tilden didn't know about them
when they were sent, and repudiated
them the moment he learned their con-
tents. From these admissions the Re-
publicans are disposed to attach much
Importance to their production, and
for this reason no compromise seems
probable.

Other Opposition Developing--How Va
rious State Delegations Will
Vote Upon 1t. Etc.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Representative
Foster has read fifty letters from Ohio,
every one being in opposition to the
bill. The Iowa delegation is almost
solid in favor of the compromise. With
the exception of Banks, the Massachu-
sets delegation favor it. All of the
Maine delegation, except Burleigh, op
pose it. The Vermont delegation are
solid against it. The Pennsylvania del
egation is evenly divided. The Illinois
delegation will all vote for the bill, with
but three probable exceptions, although
nearly all the members say they do it
under protest. The Kansas delegation
will support the bill. The representa-
tives from the South are almost unani-
nous in opposition, because it requires
the commission to go behind the re-
turns by requiring them to find out
who, in fact, was elected.

Senator Morton's Speech.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Nor
toms speech 10 full of telling points.
Sir Edward Thornton, the British min
lister, was an attentive listener. VIM.
NJ. Evarts, Gen. Sherman and a large
number of representatives occupied
seats on the floor.
Mr.. Morton contended that the vice
president has the power to count the
votes. If not, eighteen presidents have
held Office unlawfully. In the absence
of legislation, the vice-president would
be no more guilty of usurpation than
the vice-presidents have been for three
quarters of century past. The Dem
ocrats, he said, considered this compro-
mise as their only hope, and they would
not 60 for the bill except for the chance
it gives Of counting Tilden in, regard
less of the majority of the electoral
vote against him.

The President Fayors the Bill.

The President, in speaking of the
electoral compromise bill, expressed
himself earnestly in favor of its pas
sage. He said he considered it patri-
otic, statesmanlike, and equitable prop
osition, and no one would welcome
peaceful solution of the Presidential
question more than he. He said that
he had noticed the opposition to the
bill among extreme partisans ON both
sides, but it didn't appear to him to be
of such a character, or to be sufficiently
organized to secure its defeat. He
thinks the business interests of the
country would give such support to the
proposition, and would speedily make
that support from all sections of the
land so that it would be impossible for
even those who now declare their hos
tility to the scheme to vote against it.
He said if he had the opportunity he
should sign it cheerfully and heart lily.

Cutting Down Territorial Salaries.


The legislative, executive and judi
cial appropriation bill, as reported to
the House, reduces territorial salaries
to $250o for governors and judges of
the Supreme court, and eighteen hum
dred for secretaries salaries. The
Pacific coast surveyor generals are re-
duced to 80, 800 for California, Nevada,
Oregon and Idaho, 50, $50 for Montana
and Washington and S2,75O for the
other territories. The allowance for
clerks is for California $4,000, Oregon,
Washington and Arizona $4,000 each,
New Mexico, $4,000, Nevada, Utah,
Idaho and Montana S2500 each. All
these reductions, if carried through the
House, will be strenuously resisted by
the Senate.
The Election Investigators.
Washington, Jan. 22.-General Kill
patrick was to-day before the commit
tee on powers, privileges and duties Of

to North Carolina upon his own sug-
gestion, bearing an Introductory letter
from z. Chandler; had conversation
with the governor of the State and the
chairman of the Republican State COM
mittee in relation to an investigation
as to the manner in which North Caro-
lima was carried for the Democrats; had
no instructions to use money nor resort
to other improper means to influence
the result.
George S. Fisher, of Georgia, tempora-
rilyresiding in Washington, testified that
he made collections for political pur-
poses at the instance of the Republican
congressional committee, in the post
Office and war departments, sixth audi
tors office and government printing Of
fee, and paid the money over to the
treasurer of the committee, less five Per
cent, which he kept as pay for his SER
vices; about $4,000 were collected.
Other persons also made collections.

Giving Holiday a Show.

vorable report on the exceptional cir

not be regarded as precedent for the
allowance of any claim wherein these
peculiar reasons for government liabili-
ty are absent.
