EXTRA LIABILITY TO MALARIAL IN
FRICTION


Persons whose blood is thin, digestion
weak and liver sluggish, are extra-liable to
the attacks of malarial disease. The most
trifing exposuse may, under such !. c9ndi-
tions, infect a system which, II healthy
would resist the miasmatic faint. The way
to secure immunity from malaia in localities
where it is prevalent, is to tone and regulate
the system by improving weakened digest
ion, enriching the blood, and giving a whole
some impetus to hillary secretion. These
results are accomplished by nothing so Ell
fectively as Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which long, experience has proved.to be the
most reliable safeguard against fever and
aol,e and kindred disorders. as we'll as the
best remedy for them. The bitters are,
moreover, an excellent invigorant of the or
aans Of urination, and an active depurent,
eliminating from the blood those acrid i'm
purities which originate rheumatic ailments.

WHAT THE GRAN GE HAS DONE.

Before the days of the grange, farmers
knew but little concerning the first cost of
most common articles they use. The diff
erence between buying for, cash or credit is
one of the things we are beginning to learn.
So, too, oflarge qualities or small. Certain
manufacturers would not sell a dozen pillow
points at a time. for cash at any less rate
than a single, one On credit. ShreWd but
honest dealers are no longer backward about
seeking the grange trade and making it an
object tor farmers to buy for cash, and in
large quantities. Life and insurance asso-
Citations. Oh some plan that will keep their
highest officers out of the penitentiaries,
and their patrons out of the poor houses,
have also become necessary. The differ
cnce between paying. ACTUAL losses and neces-
sary expenses, instead of imaginary losses,
enormous salaries, commissions and eX-
pehses, is getting to be, understood. These
associations are already among the most
successful and practical grange, enterprises,
4 little. effort is all that is necessary. to in
crease their usefulness many folas, While il
would be impossible to predict the future OF
our order, too much attention cannot be
given to the performance Of its. present re
auirements.-Farme,'s Friend.

NOTICE TO. PATRONS.
GRANGE FAIRS.

The Patrons Of H%usbandry are doing a
good work in going into the county, district
and state fairs and making exhibits as a
body. We have always thought, that the
grange could perform valuable service in
some such way as this, but we never real
lied what amount Of good could be done
until we visited the Kaw Valley fair, which
has Just closed. for the season. Two of the
largest oranges in Douglass county We're
represented at this fair and the exhibit that,
they made surprised every visitor. The
Patrons department was crowded with Wis.
itors every day, and there really seemed to
be- more interest taken in this department
thar any other. Everybody had a curiosity
to. see what kind Of a show the grange could
make, and to see was only to admire. Next
wear we hope to see more of our subordin-
ate oranges represented at the fairs, andss.as
Il preparatory step, would itsnot be we'll for
each grange to hold little fairs of. their rown
st the grange halls, say, once every. two
months during the year,, No money out
lay need be made for such exhibitions. Ar
ticles may be taken from the farm and from
the household as they are prepared for home
use and returned after the meeting.-Spirit

"Joe'' johnson and the Irish.

Some time since story appeared in the news
papers to the effect that the Irish voters in the
Third Virginia District would vote against
General Joseph Z. Johnson, the democratic
candidate for Congress, because he had permit
ted two aoldiers of his army (IriahmeD) to be
shot for some trivial offence. The New Orleans
Times gives what purports to be the true story
of this affair:
Among other divisions OF tho Confederate army
stationed at Centreville in October, 1861, was
Hayes Seventh Louisian Brigade, which brigade
included Robert OF bob" Whests Battalion,
better known IS the Louisiana Tigers" This
name was either assumed By OF given the bat
talon on account of the peculiarly rough DIS
position of its members. The two young. Irish
men. mentioned above. belonged 10 this bat
talon.
During the last week of October Of 1861 these
two mon got on spree and raised dlstur Dance,

york For November.

This month is good time to plant out young
Orchards -shrubbery. and ornamental trees
Now is seasonsble time to secure end store
winter vegetables. to rake over and mulch as
parsgus beds, to dig AID storo carefully root
crops, as beet=, carrots, parsnips, SC, bank up
ceicry, and SOW radish and lettuce seed in mel.
low, sandy soil, to be mulched.
This is suitable time for beds and borders
for plants and flowers to be fixed up. An Old
experienced gardener says:
The month Of of October is tho bsst in the
whole year to prepare tho beds and borders be-
cause the bedding plants can them be taken up,
and if desirable. land it is very desrable,) Q
variety of early Towering bulbs may be planted
with the herbeceous plants; and November Is
the best time to plant both classes of subjects.
Just in time, therefore, for everything necdful.
IF tho work cannot be done now the prepsrs-
ticn of the ground may be attended to any time
during the winter, and the planting may be per
formed in February but l say emphAtlcally,
now is the time to prepare Tor display Whlcn
shall begin with the dawn Of spring, and change
continuously all this summer long, and even show
some gsiety in the gloomy months of ate autumn
and winter.
"There are two points of the utmost import

and second as to the order of the planting,
The elaborate parterre is not adapted Tor

AS, for example, Delphinium tormosum,
Alys:um ssxatile, Aubrietia purpures, 1Derla'

and others, which may be used as true bedding
plants with the most splendid effect. But

and with background Of shrubs TO give reei
20 Ii cir colors, and with clumps of trees to sep.
crate the different borders and clumps from each

10 charm the ego, and every separate spike .or

The protective tariff that is kept 10 operation

faotursrs has helped in 10 small degree to
produce the prevailing hard times, and If con
tipued must of necessity make them harder by
either preventing 40 increase 10 or seriously
diminishing foreign orders for American goods,
aud consequently either preventing an increase
10 or seriously diminishing the labor employed
to supply these oritrs. Canada already in
couseo ueroc OF this tariff has determined to
establish similar one. which will OF course
reduce to niuimuu the quantity OF gooos
