When any druggist or dealer tries to sell
you, or tells you that some other remedy is
as good or better, when you ask for Ammen's
Syrup, look him in the face, and you will
see that God has stamped upon his cornte-
nance in unmistakable chai acters the word
copidity, and by investigation you will find
he is recommending some decoction of his
OWE that costs him only few cents to pre-
pare, or some patent remedy upon which
he makes a large profit. Ask for Ammen's
Cough Syrup. Take no other. Buy a Is
cent or so cent bottle. Test it yourself. 1t
stands upon its merits.

Whenever George Peck, of the Mil
waukee Sun, sees girl kissing her
pet dog, he thinks Of the dreadful
places where the dogs nose has been
during the day, and it makes him
sick. This is view of it that perhaps
has not occurred to the woman who
kisses her dog, but 1T is certainly
worthy of her careful consideration.

place in modern Jurisprudence had it not
been foisted upon w by time and circum-
stances. Men drawn at random from the
masses, without any reference to the intelli-
gence, experience, or calling, are made to
decide intricate questions of property, finance,
trade, shipping, mechanics, etc., concerning
which they arc wholly ignorant. AS their
duties are temporary they gain no experience.
Az they serve unwillingly and with impa-
tience TO return 10 their business or homes
they are apt TO be careless and Indifferent.
In tho number of its members the jury is
absurd. Controversies involving great in
terests are decided by a single judge. The
disputes of nations are settled by two or
three arbitrator. Business men submit
their differences to one of their own number.
But in jury trial however insignificant the
amount of the question involved, twelve
men are deemed essential to settle the mat
ter satisfactorily. Nor il this the most ri
diculous feature of the system. In tribunals
of arbitration, courts, Legislative and other
bodies, the gravest questions are decided by
a majority. But in the case of jury the
ancient requirement of unanimity which
Hallam properly denounces al 'preposter-
Gus relic of barbarism,' defeats every verdict
to which each of the twelve jurors is not
willing TO agree"

And now comes Scoville in the role here
tofore assumed by his sneaking, murderous
client, to-vit: that of beggar. He inn
plores the American people TO contribute the
sum of $4,000 to aid him, by means of some
worthless carcass OF the vile assassin from
ornamenting tho gallows, 10 which a right
oous verdict has assigned him. When he
first undertook the defense of his villainous
n-other-in-law, he had at least, the respect
% the American people, who regarded his
action as chivalrous, although thankless
task But his course since the verdict Of
guilty, in seeking some loop-hole by means
of which he may cheat the hangman out of
his well deserved job, and enable the muir
derer to escape his just and morited doom,
il fast forfeting all regard or respect which
existed for him in the minds of the people,
and placing him among the other cranks OF
the Gaiteau tribe. lie had better go home
and attend 10 his law practice. lie has done
all that ought to bo done in defense of the
champion criminal of Tho nineteenth cen

dollars 70 secure speedy hanging, than a
hundred 70 cheat the gallows of it's prey.

Friday, to-day, has been set by Judge Cox
for the hearing on the motion for new trial
in the Guiteau case. Scovile has asked for
a commission 10 examine the signature on
the newspapers alleged to have been found
in the Jurors room at the hotel, AZ one of the
reasons alleged by him for new trial. He
says he has not the least doubt OF tho gen
uineness of tho signatures. The court said
he would have the jurors present in court
whore they could be examined under oath as
to the signatures upon the papers.

Mrs. l.. A. Howe was called for: Believed
farmers would be admitted to society az fast
as they were fitted for it. Out of sphere in
good society if rough in manners and un,
couth in dress.
Mr. May said he is not ashamed of his
calling, and should educate his boys for
farmers, and girls for farmers wives, il he
had any.
DIR. Kedzie was then introduced who read
an essay on "Ripening of Wheat" very
carefully and accurately prepared paper, con-
vincing beyond doubt, az tho Dr.'s argu-
ments always are. His experiments were
made with two varieties of wheat, viz Su-
macher and Clawson, each cut for II days
in succession, from time of berry formation
to period of dead ripeness. Early cut wheat
From his experiments he concluded that the
best time to cut wheat is when the kernel, if
placed between the thumb nails and crushed,
will stain them, or just as it is out of the
milk.
Mr.. Reed was called upon to give an acs
count of Scotch Fife wheat: Said it was
the best variety raised on Dalrymple farm in
Minnesota. Brought some home and planted
it, obtaining from 80 to 40 grains in head,
where in Minnesota, Is to 90 were the
average number. Thinks it will be the uni
versal wheat in Michigan ere long.
Query Box again resorted to and the fol-
lowing drawn: When shall We cut timothy
hay?
DR.. Kedzie was called to reply: Just at
period of heading out, for food value and
also for weight.
Adjournment till 1880.
LAST SESSION.
After some excellent music by the cornet
band, l.. b. Lawrence was called, and de-
hvered his address on farm fences: To
what extent can we do away with Farm
Fences. He was i'll favor of doing away
with them entirely, if our own convenience
would be suited thereby.
Mr. Kane said in Calhoun county fences
were all removed and no stock running at
large.
Mr. May thinks grass i'll road belongs to
the man owning property adjoining. There
is no friendship in business and he is going
to enforce the law.
Mr.. Boyer had rather supply neighbors
with milk than be bothered by their cattle.
O. A. Brock thinks road fences should be
kept up, but use portable fence for own con-
venience.
A resolution that there should be no fence
except for own benefit was carried with APP
plause.
The last thing on the programme, and one
that was looked forward to with n great deal
of anxiety, was President Abbot's address on
"Some of the Fallacious Notions of Educa-
ton that have come down to us from the
Middle Ages" This was masterpiece for
sound logic and consistent reasoning, and
set forth the reasons for the present course
of studies at the Agricultural College.

thanking every ono who had participated in
the proceedings, etc, closed, az President
Abbot said, one of tho best institutes ever
held in Michigan.

Prom the past experiences with iuries, one

Washington Letter.

From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, d. C., Feb. 3, 1882.
s A WASHINGTON letter writer
recently described the House of
Representatives as a very impress
sive body. 1t was not necessary
for this writer to add that he had
bsen but short time at the Capt.
tol, and that the ideas expressed
we're ''frst impressions" 1t would
be interesting to read some letters
of his, written with the same
frankness and honesty, after he
has spent one or two sessions here,
during which he shall have wit
messed from the gallery some of
the occasional rows and attended
all the night-sessions and closing
ceremonies. If he is attentive he
will see members roaring drunk
once in 4 while; he will see scores
of members smoking in the cham
Der during the sitting; he will see
dozens of members squirting to-
bacco juice over carpets that cost
six dollars a yard; he will see
members stretched out on the So
fas asleep, and he will hear them
snore; he will see members with
both feet on their desks, sitting on
their backbone; he will see men,
bers munching apples while at
tending to public business; he
will see occasionally member
with his boots of, easing his corns,
and he will see much else that
will detract somewhat from his de-
scription of an impressive body.
A few years ago a member from
one of the Southern States, now
happily out of public life, was in
the habit of taking out his false
teeth and wiping them on his coat
sleeve and picking them with his

President Arthur, ct. al.

The present doings of the secret
syndicate have probably been un-
earthed by those who are trying
to break down Blaine. They show
ed quite conclusively- that there
was syndicate of American poll
ticians which had been formed for
the purpose of capturing the de-
posits of nitre and guano which
were the cause of the contest be-
tween Chill and Peru, and are Of
enormous value. The whole bust
ness did look like gigantic piece
of jobbery in which the services
of the State department had been
secured. The correspondence
since published tends to free the
late Secretary from any improper
motives, but gives additional proof
of a bold effort TO make the gov
ernment OF the United States aid
scheme of speculation. The in
structions which had been given
to the special envoy, Trescott,
has struck the country as being
too warlike' and too much in the
interest of the syndicate which
has been the cause of all this COM
motion. 1t has called from Blaine
the explanation that these instruc-
tions were submitted to President
Arthur and approved by him be-
fore they were transmitted. Presi-
dent Arthur in countermanding
them, gave supplementary direc-
tions which are more in accord
with the traditional and safe policy
of the government. Blaine says
the President has changed his
mind; the change is manifestly i
salutary one. The time may come
when Blaine's dream will become
a reality; it has been cherished by
other statesmen. There NAV be q
grand confederation of all the
Spanish American republics, but
it will never be brought about
through the efforts of a syndicate
Of grasping schemers. Studiou:
efforts have been made to create
the impression that Arthur re
versed Blaine's policy, it would
appear that Arthur has reversed
himself. One of the many trick:
of political managers is to pile W
false Accusations so fast that it vii
require all the time OF candidate
to answer them. This peculiar
line of policy may have beer
adopted by those who fear the
candidacy of Blaine before the
next national convention of the
Republican party.
