There are some curious things about Indian
corn, and one is where do the rcd ears and
the speckled ears come from when you don
plant any but white ears; and another t.
why don't we find an ear with an odd numbe,
of rows on it? You can find four-lcaf c,-
yer. but have never found the odd row on
an ear of corn yet 1t is always fourteen, or
sixteen or twenty, or some even number, and
would like to understand what corn knows
about mathematics, and what objection nature
has to odd numbers. But nature is full Of
mysteries was looking at some honcycomh

That's a common express

meaning. How much suf-
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by so many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver COM
plant, consumption, cold,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will SO quickly and surely
cure such diseases as

that STAR Rou TIE INFANY.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16-The Attorney
General stated on Saturday that important
arrests in the Star Route bribery matter
would be made soon, and that among them
were two persons in the Department of JUS
tice who had been used as spies by the de
fense, and who were deeply implicated in
the attempts to corrupt jurors. Also that
the defense having been informed of the
Governments contemplated action, would
shortly furnish an article to the press DIS
closing facts that have long been within
the knowledge of defendants, and thus take
the credit before the public of being expo
sers of wrong doing. The article in ques
ton was furnished last night to such papers
as would agree to publish it in full. The
document has been prepared by clever at
torneys and its spirit and purpose are to
aid the Star Route people by forestalling
the action of the Government in making the
contemplated arrests, and to cause the pub
lie to think that efforts to bring the guilty
to justice proceeded from the defense
