express my own and my neighbers' views upon

oil this talk about alternating between the two
of congressman or officers of any kind. What
has the residence of man to do with his quail
ificatlons for officef 1u the next place. am
equally disgUstcd with all this talk about a
custom or rule, by which the people are bound to

proper plan to adopt always ia to be sure we
have selected the man who has shown himself
the most able, jealous. patriotic, and trnst-
worthy. without the least regard te whether
ne lives on the eastern or western side of the
Alleghany mountains, or whether he has been
IN Congress once, twice, thrice. or has never
been there at all. Let every ono ask himself,
who is the best mani and Wien he has answered.
that question to his own satisfaction, let him
give his choice his heartlest sapport. So far
we agree with the western correspondent of tho
MartInsburg Statesman of June 18th, bnt can
not agree with him in the propriety of adding
hon.C j. Faulkner to tho list of candidate ;
not that do not believe Mr.. Faulkner won Id
MAKE good Congressman. but because we
don't want to see Mr.. Faulkner's chances for
election to the q. S. Senate so materially di-
minished as they necessarily would be by race
for Congress. And Furthermore. after looking
carefully into the question. and taking every
thing into mature consideration. cannot avoid
conviction that Hon. Daniel B. Lucas, of JEFF
triet whom tho voters could send to Washin gton
to represent them in the forty-eighth Congress
and therefore, I say. by all means, let's send
him. Yours truly,

The reason why DR.. David Kennedy's
"FayOrite Remedy" cures complaints of
the Liver, Kidneys, Bowels, and Blood,
is that it is compounded of the very
remedies which Nature herself has pro-

scattered through the woods and fields,
DR.. X. has collected them and condensed
their virtues in the form which he now
confidently offers to the sick and suffer

BOOK NOTICES.

THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY.
DR.. Frank H. Hamilton opens The
Popular Science Monthly" for NOVem-
ber with an article on the subject Of
Sewer Gas" 1t sis an unsettled and
most perplexing problem, physicians
and architects and sanitary engineers
being much at war about it. The
second article on "The Science Of the
Present Period" Is ma ,terly Vindica-
tiOn Of its influence and its broader
tendencies. DR.. Nathan Allen gives the
latest form to "The Law of Human In
crease" and draws from it certain prac-
tical conclusions of very great impOF-
tance. Science in Relation to the Arts"
is especially instructive in its discus
sion of electric and gas lighting. DR..
Oswald's second paper on "PhysiOgnO-
bright, crisp, witty, and full of curious
information. The article on Scientific
Farming at ROthamsted," is we'll di-
gested account of the systematic agri-
cultural experiments of Lawes and Gill
bert. The original and striking paper
of Professor Grant Allen, entitled who
was Primitive Man?" appears without
abridgment in the November Monthly.
Some Curious Vegetable GrOwths," by
w. II. Larra6ee, "The British Lion" by
W. Boyd Dawkins, Life among the Bat
tas of Sumatra," by DR.. Schneider, are
also very readable articles. There is
the usual mass of miscellaneous infOr-
nation at the close. New York: D. Ap-
pletOn & Co. Fifty cents per number,

THE NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW.
The North American Review, New
York, for November presents a diversi-
fed table of contents. English views
of Free Trade" by the Hon. John Welsh
of Philadelphia, is a clear and fOrcible
exposition of the difference between the
economic situation of England and that
of the United States. Joseph Nelson,
Chief Judge of the Brooklyn City Court,
writes of disorder in Court Rooms" a
subject of profound interest to good citi-
zens. DR.. VIM. A. Hammond, ex-Sur-
geOn-General of the U. S. Army, offers
"A Problem for SOciOlOgists;" the pro-
blem being. to determine the degree of
responsibility before the criminal law,
of persons affected by certain forms of
insanity. "The Industrial Value of
Women" by Mrs. Julia Ward Howe, is a
very able reply to an article recently
published on "WOman's Work and WO-
mans Wages" advantages of the
Jury System" by Dwight Foster, for
merly a Justice of the Massachusetts,
Supreme Court, will command the at
tentiOn of every thoughtful citizen.
The remaining articles are, Safety in

trical manager; "The PretensiOns of
journalism" by Rev. Geo. T. Rider; and
