There is no medicine in the world
which has gained such fame as ST

many physicians and tried hundreds
of remedies, but without avail.

Have a Fish Pond if You Can.

It is not every farm that can have a fish
pond on it, but there are many farms that
could have them as well as not. Wherever
there is a good strong spring to feed it,
there profitable fish pond can be made.
Hundreds of farms haYe sWamps or marsh
es, too low to drain without great expense
and fed by springs; and these could be
turned to profitable account by turning
them into fish ponds, We don't mean
profitable in the way of making money,
but in saving it. The flesh of fish is a
wholesome diet, better every way than so
much fat or measly pork. We know plenty
of farmers who scarcely taste fish from one
year to another. Not because they are not
fond of fish, but because they can't get them
without going some distance after them
and paying good price in the bargain.
A pond of an acre or so in extent, stocked
with varieties adapted to the place, would
furnish an abundance of the very best meat,
costing nothing to produce it either. As
to the catching, it is only sport, and that
part can be safely delegated to the boys or
girls. We are sure, also, that such an in
stitution on the farm would prove one of
its chief attractions, if your boys are in
clined to leave the farm. We write from
knowledge in this matter, having in earlier
days caught many ''nice string" of fish
in pond that was formerly swamp.
During one dry August the owner, with
two of his boys, went into it with plough,
scraper and shovel, and in a short time had
pond of nearly an acre in extent. This
he stocked with fish common to the slug
gish streams of the neigborhood, and some
procured at distance, and for years there
after it proved to be the best acre on the

A few days ago, MIR. E. V. Smalley
correspondent of the New York Tribune,
fell in with group of prominent Repub-

the center. In an interesting letter to the
Tribune, imparting the information gath
cred at this meeting, we find the follow
ing concerning the demand for speakers
to help in the contest in Ohio: Among
the Ohio orators the one for whom there
is the greatest demand is General Gar
field. He has grown steadily in public
favor, and his popularity, which few
years ago was confined to his own section
is now equally great in all parts of the
State. There are very few counties which
have not at this early day filed with the
Central Committee an urgent application
for a speech from Garfield"

Rice is put forward as the champion of

Rice is put forward as the champion of
the soldiers interest. The Sandusky Reg
lister shows how far he is worthy of that
distinction, in these words: He showed
his friendship for the Union soldier by
proposing in Congress bill that put the
rebel soldier on the same footing, and that
if passed would have given the same pen
sion so the men who fought to destroy the
Union as to the men who fought to save it.
That was the sum and substance of Rice's
pension bill about which the Democrats
have so much to say. If it entities him to
the support of Union soldiers, the cause for
which the rebels fought was as patriotic
and worthy as that which the Union sol
diers defended The one is the logical
conclusion of the other. Is any Union
soldier prepared to take that ground? We
think not"

Yellow fever at Memphis was reported
on the 18th as On the increase-three new
cases having appeared, making sixteen
cases and seven deaths. They were all con-
fined to the same neighborhood. Cairo
Board of Health have adopted stringent
quarantine regulations.
Five new cases and one death since our
last returns from Memphis do not look en-.
couraging for a ridance Of the yellow
scourge.
The pail has indeed settled upon Mem
phis, and all reasonable hope of escape has
now given place to gloom with those who
cannot get away. and to panic with these
who can. The means of escape are put to
their best use, and crowded to their utmost
capacity. The last repOrt-that of Satur-
day and Monday-shows thIrty-six new
cases. Beside the city Of Memphis, Mis-
sissippi city-between New Orleans and
Mobile-has been visited with sickness and
death from disease called malignant ma
laria, which is suspected to be another
name for the dreaded yellow fever. Quar-
antine restriction, have been established all
along the river towns, and everything indi-
Gates that the situation is no longer one OF
doubt, and the only course left is to accept
the situation and prepare for the dread
reality, for there is good ground to appre-
hand that Othar rortions of fha go,tfb will
be visited and scourged. The propriety
for thorough sanitary precautions eAen in
some Of the Northern cities, is indicated
by the fact that four cases have already
been reported at the quarantine in New
York harbor.
