brilliant writer in America, who it

to say that New York's Gaslit

Broom corn is likely at no
distant day to revolutionizc the
breadstuff supply Of the world.
a process has been discovered
by which the finest and most
delicious flour can be made from
the seed to the extent Of one.half
its weight. and leave the other
nalf a valuable food for making
beef and milk. The average yield
per acre is 800 bushels, or 10000
pounds have been secured. Nor
does it exhaust the soil as Indian
corn, from the fact that it reeds
from the deeper soil, and as.
similates its food from cruder
state. It belongs to the same
genus as the sweet cane, COM
monty known as sorghum, which as
an article of food is growing
rapidly in public esteem, and
from the seed Of which a most
nutritious flour can be obtained.

Stop My Paper.

We occasionally meet man in
this world who is under the i'm.
preston that ifhe "stop his paper"
he will thus 'get even" with the
editor for some supposed injury
maybe it is only a gentle request
for subscriptions past due.
Some business men, or rather
men in some business, are laboring
under the same apparitiol Why,
don't these blissful fellows know
Ithat when a man "cuts" his paper
| it causes no commotion with the
editor i? He is used to it. 1t is
only a proof that his paper is ap-
preciated.
Aside from that, an editor is
very like an ordinary man. He
eats, he drinks, he wears clothes
(when he can get them-they may
not be the finest, but he. wears
them all the same,) he wears hat,
he eats vegetables, bread, eats
meat, and all 'indelicacies" Of the
season (sometimes eats crow
No the editor does not go bare
footed UNLESS he has to]., Para
doxically speaking, he isl man
like any other man ; has feelings
like a man, likes his friends as any
other man, and as a rule is not less
charitable than other men.
Now, "stop my paper" man,
don't think to hurt our feelings
by paying and quitting. This is a
very large world, friend, and there
! are some very large people in it.
If we discover that we cant get
: along without you, why then we
will sell out and quit the business.

Epilepsy or Fits treated with
wonderful success, as all cases are
carefully examined, and none
taken but those offering good
prospects of curing.
Impotency, Spermatorrhea and
Sexual Debility, treated by medi-

do no good, is the universal
testimony of all honest physicians.
Thousands have 'doctored" for
these complaints, and have thrown
away their money and their

with electricity, the electricity
being generated by a simple
electrical apparatus that any one
can use, and by these means
insures success.
Constipation, the bane Of so

source of illhealth, cured by a
simple method, with little or no
