TantaliZinR the Liver.

Many persons fancy they are remedyine bilious habit when they are merely tantalizing the liver by repeated and large doses of power full drugs, which rather in1ame than stimulate it. Calomel and blue pill are both objection able, particularly when used to the extent that some people use them for simple biliousness and constipation, and botanic purgatives of a drastic nature exert no direct influence upon the bile-secreting organ. The benignant alter ative, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, while it is an efficient stimulant of the liver, promoting bilious secretion and regular evacuation, never affects either the liver or bowels excessively,
 but both in it's laxative and anti-bilious action is painless and agreeable. It counteracts ma1arial influences, cures indigestion, is 7a superlative tonic, and is a salutary diuretic.
 The weak and the aged are invigorated and solaced by it. --t=.

SaltinR Stock.


 The fault is one usually of underfeed- ing salt rather than giving an excess. Fed upon hay, straw and grain diet a grown animal will consume an ounce of salt daily without injury, but rather benefit. A little salt daily is far better than to have it as an extra feed once 8 week or at longer intervals. A farmer of we'll informed ways always feeds salt with each. ration of meal summer and winter, whether fed once or twice Ter day, of course giving but sprinkling of salt with the meal. If grain is not fed the salt may be mixed with sulphur, the two combined being one of the greatsremedial agents for the proven tion of vermin, besides it is a good promoter of digestion and pure blood, two elements of success in feeding cattle.

TO.Day'S Election.

A very unusual degree of interest is
felt in the result of the elections of this
year, which is due rather to the impor-
tant changes anticipated than to any
great uncertainty felt in the issue.
Both New York and Pennsylvania are
confidently expected to decide, as Ohio
has done, in favor of the Democratic
party and its followers are consequently
IN high feather. It has been SO many a
year since they have enjoyed a reliable
victory, that they are naturally greatly
elated at the prospect of the complete
one that awaits them. The interest
felt by the Republicans in the contest is
intense by reason of their apprehension
OF disaster. They are in the situation of
the man who is awaiting the verdict Of
Jury with the best reason for fearing
that it is going to be against him. BY
reason of the excitement in both parties
very little mechanical work is being
done to-day; and no doubt a great
many headaches to morrow will make
that day also a vacation from labor.
This is one of the evils of our election
excitements. They are very demoralizing
things and it would be good for the
country il we could have less Of them.
There ought to he some methods devised
of taking the sense of the people that
will disturb the economy of the country
less than the one we have. No good is
done by our yearly prolonged election
excitenents. Intelligent citizens such
as ours are ready to give their vote with
a great deal less of drum beating and
vociferation than now accompanies its
delivery. We long ago suggested that
the best way of getting the voice Of the
people would be by their division into
small sections of tens and hundreds,
choosing in each section single repre-
sentative for a certain period who would
express by his own vote the sentiments
of his associates. Somewhat the same
idea has siuce been elaborated in Il pop
ular magazine. There is nothing new
in it ; in fact it is as old almost as our
civilization. What is needed is to OBJ
tain the calm voice of the people without
excitement or turmoil. Our present
method does not do it !; and some day
the excitement Incident to an election
mag severely injure the stability of our
institutions.
