Our country is getting to be fearful
ly alarming, the average Of life being
lessened every year, without any rea-
sonable cause, death resulting general
ly from the most insignificant origin.
At this season Of the year especially,
a cold is such a common thing that in
the hurry of every day life we are apt
to overlook the dangers attending it
and often find too late, that Fever
or Lung trouble has already set in.
Thousands lose their lives in this way
every winter, while had Boschee's Ger
man Syrup been taken, a cure would
have resulted, and large bill from a
Doctor been avoided. For all diseas-
es of the Throat and Lungs, Boschee's
German Syrup has proven itself to be
the greatest discovery Of it's kind in
medicine. Every Druggist in this
country will tell you of it's wonderful
effect. Over 100000 bottles sold last
year without a single failure known.

ROADS AND WEATHER.

The Geneva Lake Herald says:

The weather, like poverty, we have

if all do, there would be too much

some two inches or over had fallen
the most at any time since last fall
replenishing cisterns, and moistenine
the ground. On Sunday, a week ago
the weather was warm and spring
like, but about noon it changed to cold,
with a Northeast wind which lasted
for over a week with few interInis-
sions; most Of the time a high wind,
sometimes light gale, and to the
present is still Easterly; weather a
little warmer, with frost last week
and yesterday morning.
Grass is backward and cattle have
to be fed; pastures are bare as in win
ter, with the exception of green spot
here and there in asheltered situation.
Seeding is done with few excep-
tions, and better than in any year
since 1860. More wheat is sown than
for years although quite a number of
farmers do not SOW any. Flax and
oats are most sown. Quite an injury
has been done to old meadows by the
grub, and with the present weather
light crop of hay is the prospect unless
we have abundant rains.
The comparatively high price Of po-
tatoes promises to resultin al increas-

The Washington Post declares that
MI. Thurman, who is now President
pro tenn. of the United States Senate, is
in fact the President of tue United
States. Its logic is that Tilden and
Hendricks, having been elected Presi-

failed to qualify, there exists vac an
cy in the office of President, and MI
Thurman therefore becomes the "act-

The new way to challenge the array
of jury was practiced in the East
Carroll parish, louisiana, the other
day, in the following manner. A po-
lice jury, legally impaneled and COM
posed of a majority of negroes, were
in session at the parish seat, when
eight bull-dozers entered the court
house, with loaded revolvers in theil
hands, and each aiming his death
dealing instrument at the head Of each
juryman, demanded that they should
sign a resignation, which they were
compelled to do. Is it any wonder
that race subjected to such outrages
should be willing to face even starya
tion itself to get away from the rule

SPEAK KINDLY ALWAYS.

And into the pure depths / dropped small
II sank from my sight ere went on my
Az the eddying circles were fading away.
Ipassed by that snot in day or two more
And the waters flowed on as l saw them
But no ripple came over the surface SO
TO tell that the pebble was still lying
there.
So the harsh words from lips. p'rhaps un-
needing, will fall
And sink to some gay heart, tho tender
withal.
And the pain of that heart seems to pass
in a sigh
Yet the pang Will remain, tho unseen it
may lie.
Oh pluck not one petal from out gay
flOw'r,
To leave it to wither and die in an hour
Destroy not the bloom you can never re-
But cherish it fondly, by day more and
more.
Rather speak the kind IwOrd to the nigh
broken hearted,
Shed light on the soul from which joy has
departed
Let the balm of sweet speech on the strick-
en- heart fall,
Speak kindly to each one. or speak not at
all. JUSTIN +. MCCARTHY.
