THE VERY MERRY MARINER.
Feliciana sentinel. [volume] (St. Francisville, La.) 1877-1892, 1880-01-03

LET UP ON THE L1vER.-Mr. Editor,
tits q wonder that so many men and wo-
men escape the effects of ta,upering with
their lives. Mankind seems to have gone
crazy on the subject of the liver, and ev-
cry little poppihg-jay is thrusting out
something " for the liver.' The stomach
is crammed full of senna and SIGH, called
liver medicines. What on earth is the
matter with the liver, all at once Why,
a few years ago some people didn't know
they had liver, and now they can al
most tell which side it is on. Who says
the liver is at fault when your head
aches, or when you are dyspeptc, or con
stipated 7 don't believe a word of it,.
The bouezs mast be opened before the bile can
possibly get ont, and that is all that is
necessary. Let me tell you an infalible
remedy for all such conditions. Take a
few doses of Bailcy's Saline Aperient, it
will open your bowels, unlock the liver
and cleanse the stomach.

A SHARP ED1ToR.-A very Slight hint
was sometimes sufficient to pu: the late
Mr.. Delane, editor of the London Times,
OH the scent of good bit of news. One
day he met great physician in his club.
They had chat together, and presently
the doctor said " Lord Northbrook call
cd on me to-day and asked me how a hot
climate would be likely to suit his daugh-
ter, whom have had under my charge.
1 said it W Guild suit her very well int. eed.
Mr.. Delane said nothing Next day the
first article in the Times astonished every
body, including the official world, by an
nonncing that Lord Northbrook was 60
ing to India as Governor General. A few
hours afterwards an acquaintance OF
Lord Northbrook met him and offered
his congratulations. But it is prema-
ture," said the new Viceroy, "for it was
only settled this morning. How the
Times got hold of it do not know, for
no one but myself and the Prime Minis
ter had even converted about it," The
editor had simply thought over the visit
to the physician and put two and two

The speaker said he did
not know personally about 1t, except
that the mortality among the Confederate
prisoners at Elmira was proportionally
greater than at Andersonville. In order,
therefore, to defend the North from the
charge of neglect and cruelty to its pris-
oners, he must deny any excessive NOR
tality at Andersohviile. Yet there might
have been fault on both sides. A gentle
man IN the audience had in his possession
a copy of all official communication from
the chaplain of one of our own prisons at
the West, in which he spoke Of having
begun "a system Of retaliation" for re.
ported cruelties at Andersonville. Over
such conduct we could only throw the
mautie of forgiveness. sAs for the South
the entire weight of testimony went t,
the MOI thern men whom the fortunes o
war had placed in their charge.
The speaker closed with an earnes
plea for justice to the South, without re
gard to past prejudices, and for the vim
dication of the truth. The gospel of hat
had had it's day and must give peace r.
the better gospel of fraternity. The hui
of machinery that gathered in the flu
harvest at the South, and the shrek {
the loo omotive that distributed it to th
waiting States, spoke of the dawn of
new day wherein the mission of the sta
wart disturber of unity would forevt
vanish.

The exhibit of the Winona and
St. Peter Railroad Company is one
of the finest we have ever seen.
There are exhibits of fruits and veg
etables from Winona, Olmstead, and
Nicollet counties, and exhibits of
grains and vegetables from all other
counties on the main line and all
branch roads in Minnesota and Da-
kota. The Lyon county Agricultu-
raj Society made large and credit
able exhibit. A special show of sod
crops is made. Flax sown on sod is
shown that yields 10 to Is bushels
to the acre; oats, 20 to 80 bushels;
barley, l6 to "a; potatoes also show
an unusual yield and of better
quality than on old ground. All the
varieties of wild grasses raised along
the line of the road are shown.
About $50 samples of wheat, besides
barley and oats are exhibited; as
well as an endless variety of vegc-
tables.
Messrs. G. w. Van Dusen & Co.
show samples of wheat from thirty
different stations in Minnesota and
Dakota.
The display is very fine and oc-
cupies three-quarters of the entire
building. 1t is systematically ar
ranged and reflects much credit on
Messrs. Burchard and G. H. Whit
ney. A large lot of samples were
not exhibited for want of room.-

A Methodist presididing elder,
writing from western Kansas after
travelling over the counties of Trego,
Phillips, Norton, Decatur Rawlins,
Graham, Thomas, Cove and Shcri-
dan, says he did not find twenty
acres of good corn, and no wheat
worth harvesting. This region, in
habited by 10000 or 10000 people,
mostly newcomers, are living prin-
cipally on corn-meal and corn-coffee.
The writer adds: could hold in my
hand all the vegetables of every des-
cription that I have seen in jour-
ney of over 1000 miles," 1t will be
necessary for the successful occupan-
cy of that part of Kansas to hold
over a sufficient stock of grain, for
age, provisions, etc., to last for one
or two years. Much feeling exists
among the settlers against the rail-
road companies on account of the
reckless and unfair advertising
methods which theyhaye adopted to
attract emigrants. IN,

The Bloody Shirt Business.

Pioneer Press.
The people of the North, Republi-
cans and Democrats, are weary of
the bloody-shirt business. They
know that the white people of the
South would have to be endowed
with a miraculous and superhuman
degree of virtue if they ceased to
protest against negro supremacy in
the local governments. They see
that the southern whites are placed
in very trying position, and know:
ing from experience the futility of
federal interference, they trust that.
the ugly problem will gradually
solve itself by the operation of nat
ural agencies. There is good reason
to believe that the negro vote will
in time be divided between rival
candidates for county and State Of
fees, when white men will strive as
eagerly to secure the colored mans
ballot as they now strive to suppress
it. Then there is the slowly-dawn-
ing conviction that intimidation and
fraud at the South is running the
Democratic party as national Or
ganization-that violence in sup
pressing negro suffrage is political
blunder as we'll as crime. The old
South will disappear. As a political
force southern opinion is yet brutal
and intolerant; yet there are not
wanting Indications thst the begin
ming of the end is approaching. The
hot southern blood is learning to re-
strain its anger, and perhaps to
blush little at the recital of its own
misdeeds. Their own newspapers
are finding courage to put in print
what everybody has known for
years. Last week the Atlanta (Ga.)
Advocate published the folling para
praph, while the bulldozing element
of the population stood up quietly
and swallowed the reproof with be-
fortitude:
,'Colorcd people have been whipped and
mur1e, ed w.'thout regard to age, sex, condi-
lion or character, ill many have fled as from
the laws Of beasts o. prey. Persecution for
opinion has prevailed to .'"cn an extent that
multitudes Of white people ha> :" sought homes
IN other portions Of our country. MOI ten
lays ago the president of Clark unive -'si'S'
Christian gentleman, and one Of the Ii. ISL
learned men and able educators Of the State,
was openly cursed by a white man Of higi:
standing in his community, and informed that
he ought to be fifteen miles in hell rather than
here founding a university
The fact that such statements are
now publicly made and circulated
in the South, is the most encourag-
ing feature of the situation. Tolcr-
alton is the first and most difficult
lesson, and without it there can be
no genuine civilization.

THE COUNTY FAIR.

Our readers have already been in
formed that the seventh annual
County Fair of the Redwood County
Agricultural Association will be held
at Redwood Falls on Wednesday
and Thursday, the goth and sOth
days of this month. The prospects
for this being the most successful
exhibition ever given by the associa-
ton are very flattering. The citi-
zens of Redwood Falls have been so
liberal in their subscriptions that the
managers are satisfied that they will
have $500 to offer in purses and
premiums.
There will be some good racing
as several of the best horses in the
State will undoubtedly be present.
The track, which is naturally an ex-
cellent one, will be put in good con-
dition. It is expected that the cele-
brated Andrews family will furnish
an abundance of choice music as
they agreed to do so sometime ago.
Eminent speakers from abroad
have been invited to discuss such
subjects as WI most interest the
farming community.
And yet with all these induce
ments the Fair will not accomplish
the purpose for which it is intended
unless all the citizens of the county,
and particularly the farmers lend a
helping hand. We have had most
favorable season and an abundant
harvest. Our farmers never had
more reason to feel encouraged with
the rewards of their toll. If each
one was to put on exhibition at the
Fair the very best of what he
had produced in the way of grain or
he would only be doing
his duty and would aid very mater
ALLY in advertising the superior
quality of the land in this portion of
the state. Out stock-raisers should
10 their share in the matter too.
We are authorized to state that for
age will be furnished free by the
to the stock and that all
animals as we'll as every article on
exhibition will be carefully looked
after and guarded by persons select
I'd for that duty.
Let us all unite in making this
Fair the success it should be. Let
he farmer leave his pillow, the me-
,hanic his tools, the merchant his
the business man his desk,
md our wives and daughters their
household duties for a day or two,
md meet together to renew old &C
luaintances from new ones and have
! good time generally.

Agricultural Experimenting.

We do not know of anything
which would be more interesting on
farm than a small experimental
ground. New plants and seeds
come into notice every year, but only
few know which are the most val
liable, and the great public depends
on the newspaper editor, some inter-
ested correspondent or the reports
Of some agricultural society to tell
him all about them. Finally, on the
strength of what he reads, he invests
considerable money in some article
or another, plants considerable
ground with it and finds out only
when to late that it is not at all suit
ed to his climate or soil. 1t often
times happens that an article really
good in a ma ority of cases is of
very little value in some particular
spot. This is just the sort of know
ledge no paper or society can teach,
but which a small experiment gar
den would readily supply. At mar
ket, or when visiting friends, one
often has a few seeds or roots given
him be very useful to him, but which
are lost chiefly because there is no
spot assigned for the testing of these
things. There is, indeed, a dispo-
sition in many cases to regard these
presents of new things as bores, and
they are often accepted because it is
not thought courteous to wound a
a friends feelings by refusing what
he regards as somewhat of a treas
ure. But besides the pecuniary
value which often results from try
ing experiments, there is a great
amount of pleasure from watching
things grow that we never saw be
fore; and we are well assured that
mo one who established small ex-
perimental ground on his farm could
ever after be without it.-Ger man

The custom receipts are enormous,
being sle,eooo,0oo for August, or
$4,000, 900 more than for the month
of July. This shows large importa-
lions, yet our exports still exceed
our imports, leaving the balance Of
trade in our favor. As our bonds
are now for the most part held in
this country, the balance Of foreign
trade has to be paid in gold, hence
large quantities of the metal are re-
ceived from Europe every week.

In the midst of the organized
carnival of corruption which has
been going on now SO many weary
months and years at Washington, it
is really satisfactory to catch a
glimpse now and then of honesty for
honesty's sake, and without consid-
Grafton of party. Gen. Garfield, of
Ohio, is q Republican of Republi-
cans, but it is his simple due which
we gladly pay HIM, to admit that he
has done more than any other single
member Of his party, during,th the last
session Of congress, to show that it
is not absolutely impossible for a
man to act with . congressional ma
|jority and yet to, keep his ;ssff-re-
|spect and the respect Of honest men.

Five thousand Republican gain in
Vermont is the probable result of
Tuesdays election. Returns from
Ito towns indicate that the Republi-
cans have over $4,000 majority in
the State, and have elected all the
congressman, a gain of one. Last
year the majority was less than co.
900. This is good preparation for
Ae news from Maine next week.
