Catarrh al
O|SON

Wei Do Meyers Treatise on Ca
tarrh, explains the following important facts
]. That Catarrhal Colds become a
poisonous infection, at first local, and
finally constitutional.
2. That, being Constitutional, the infection
is beyond tho reach of mere local
remedies.
B. That impurities in the nostrils are
necessarily swallowed into the stomach
and inhaled into the lungs, thus poison
ing the Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-
urinary organs.
4. That Catarrhal virus follows the
mucous membrane and causes Deafness,
Dyspepsia, Chronic DiarrhGa, Bronchitis,
Leueorrhea, and Consumption.
s. That Smokes, Douches, Limitations,
and Insoluble Snuffs, cannot possibly
remove infectious Inflammation from the or
gans named.
G. That an antidOte for Catarrh must
possess an inOoulative affinity for, and the
quality of being absorbed by, the purulent
mucous wherever located.
Based upon these plain theories,
DR.. Wei De Meyers Catnrrh Cure
has proved to be infallible. 1t not only re-
HeVes, it cures Catarrh at any stage.

The proper way to treat plants received
from distance by mail, is to plant them
in pot only large enough to admit the
smallest possible portion of soil between
the roots and the sides of the pot, then keep
them rather dry than otherwise until
signs Of new growth begins. Always bear
in mind that when the roots or leaves of
plant have been bruised or detached, the
vitality OF il has been lessoned, and it re-
quires food in consequences, and has no
need of it until the roots and leaves are in
vigor again. When from any cause plant
drops its leaves, hold off the water until
it again starts into growth. When the
Tourist cut down their plants for cuttings,
instead of watering them daily, as when
they are growing vigorously. they are not
watered for eight or ten days, and then
sparingly, wntit new growth OF shoots
and leaves appear. Ifplants are injured
BY drying out or heating. as sometimes
happens, cut the tops back quite severely.

growth Of buds.

Result of Courage In Disease.

Many q life has been saved by the NOR
al courage ofa sufferer. 1t is not alone in
bearing the pain of operations or the mis-
ery of confcemene in sick room this self
help becomes Of vital moment, but in the
monotonous tracking of weary path, and
the vigorous discharge of ordinary duty
How many a victim of incurable disease
has lived on through years OF suffering,
patiently and resolutely hoping against
hope. or, what is better, lives down despair,
until the -virulence of threatening mall
ady has died ont, and it has seased to be
destructive, althaugh its physical charac-
teristics remained? This power of good
spirits" is matter of high moment to the
sick and weakly. To the former it may
mean the ability to surveve, to the latter
the possibility Of outliving, or living in
spite of a disease. 1t is, therefore, of the
ereateef importance to cultivate the highest
and most boyant frame of mid which the
conditions will admit.

Saw Dust and Potatoes.

A Louisiana correspondent Of the Scien-
ti6c American says: That sawdust has
been successfully used in the production
Of potatoes in that section. He states that
the method is to lay on the open ground
in rows of two to three feet apart, the po-
tatoes that are to be planted, and cover
the same with bed Of sawdust
say from six to twelve inches thick. II
the season is in the least fsvorble it will
be astonishing how this method of culture
will prove satisfactory
Another method is to prepare the soil
by plowing and pulverizing, to open fur
row two or three feet apart, to put in such
burrows four inch layer Of sawduss, on
this lay the potatoes, that are to be plan
ted, covering them with another layer OF
soil. II there Is any thing in this method
OF growing potatoes, what a mine of veal
tn the potato grower will find in the Sag.
inaw Vallerl But we have little faith, we
confess, in the sys tenn set forth BY the cor.
respondent above.

The Impending Collapse.

At the end of nine months the "boom,''
the result of speculation and gambling in
stocks and commodities, has reached its
highest, and the decline has begun. Many
hundreds of millions Of dollars have been
made, all of which will be lost in the down
ward turn, The greatest loss, however. is
the demorlization produced in awakening
the thirst for richer without the necessity
for labor. Shoddy will roon dissipate its
suddenly acquired gains, and yelvets and
diamonds will give place to palmer adorn-
ments. The millions of money ventured
in the thousand so.called mines will be
hopelessly buried in the holes in the
mountains. In the meantime the country
has lost its export trade, and has built up
new and a large debt abroad. Prices
will soon be tumbling, wages 60 down, and
it will take perhaps years to recover the
prosperity and solidity the country en-
joyed before the recent wild and unnatural
rise in paices, and destruction of industry
and of healthful social expenditures

In this connection, the following sugges.

In this connection, the following sugges-
tioas are apropos:
Eat slowly, as If it was a pleasure you
desired to prolong, rather than a duty to
be performed as soon as possible.
Don't bring your predjudices, your dis
likes, your anuoyances, your past misfor-
tunes, or future forbodings to the table.
They will spoil the bes, dinner.
Respect the hours OF meals; you have
no right to injure the temper of the cook,
destroy the favor of the viands and the
comfort Of the family by your want of
punctuality.
Have as much variety in YOUR food as
possible, but not many dishes served at
one time.
Find as little fault as possible with the
food prepared and praise when you can.
Finally, be thankful, if you have no
meat, that you have at least an appetite,
and hope for something better in the fu-
ture

wRBsTER's REPLY TO HAYSE.
A Memorable Scene In the United
States Senate.

A few days later Mr.. Webster heard his
state and himself merciiessly attacked by
Gen. Hayne, of South Carlina, no mean

hero, who had fallen victim TO British
cruelty, highly educated, with a slender.
graceful form, fascinating department, and
q veil trained melliiuous voice, the haugb-
~ South Carrlins enssred the list OF the
political Tournament like Saladin to appose
the Yankee Coeur de Lion.
wheo Mr.. Webster went 20 the senate
chamber to reply to Gen. Hayne, on Tues
day, January 10, 1880. he felt himself mas-
ter Of the situation. Always careful about
his personsl appearance when he wss TO
addaess an audiences, on that day he wore
the Whig uniform. which had been cop.
led by the revolutionary heroes-a blue
coat With bright buttons, buH waistcoat
and high white crsvat. Neither was he
