LINcoLSs Prophecy OF THE ExopUs-
correspondent Of the Cincinnati Gazette recalls
that when delegation Of coIored men called
upon Abraham Lincoln in 1862, to urge upon
him the necessity Of emancipation, he was
called visionary and impracticable because he
said to them: II may be necessary to free
the slaves in order to save the Union. Tit
1t will be done; but, although the war may free
you, you will enjoy neither freedom nor peace
among your old masters. Your only hope will
be in colonization. The education of the
southern people has been such that the master
and slave will never be able to live in pesce
and harmony except as such. You must emf
crate, you must coonizs, it is your only hope
Tor freedom, peace and happiness"

SCHOOL LAW.
From the Lansing Republican.

From the Lansing Republican.
i. 1t is generally understood to be rule OF
law that in al! elections, where some other
OASIS is not prescribed, majority OF all the
votes cast Is necessary to the decision Of a
question or the election Of an officer. In the
election OF school district officers, it is held
that majority Of all the votes cast is neces-
sary, as the law nowhere specially provides for
any other basis.
z. In all elections OF district officers in graded
as well as primary school districts, the election
must be by ballot.
.. An informal vote by ballot, followed by
formal vote by reclamation, will not constitute
Legal election.

In numbering the Cabinet Organs OF

Organ Company has now reached No.

nearly that number. They not only
make the very best organs, but sell them
as low as they can possibly be afforded,

Remedy for Hard Times.

Stop spending SO much on fine clothes,
rich food and style. Buy good, healthy
food, cheaper and better clothing; get
more real and substantial things of life
every way, and especially stop the foolish
habit of running after expensive and
quack doctors or using so much of the
vile humbug medicine that does you only
harm, and makes the proprietors rich,
but put your trust in the greatest of all
simple, pure remedies, Hop Bitters, that
cures always at trifing cost, and you
will see better times and good health

Acidity of the stomach and sour eruc-
tions, while not positively dangerous, are
certainly very disagreeable, and show a
disordered state of the system, generally
followed by sick headache. We can re-
commend Lawsons Curative, taken in
small doses before each meal, as a decid-
ed antidote for such troubles. For ladies
who suffer with morning Sickness we
will say, give the Curative a few trials,
and you will not be without it in the fu-
ture While we do not claim the Cura-
tive will purify the blood, we know it has
the effect of keeping the blood cool and
free from fever, and is a valuable remedy
in cases of over-heating. Indeed, it is so
ex cellent in such variety of sicknesses
and pains, that every family should have
it on hand. 1t is sold by all druggists.
