Frederick Douglass.

We would invite attention to the adj
vertisement of j. 5. Goodman Il Co., of
Chicago, Ills, who have recently issued
the Autobiography of Frederick Doug
lass. Our readers are all more or less
acquainted with the history of this man
and should make themselves familiar
with his book The Cleveland Leader
(Ohio) says This book will gain in
slant recongition as one of the health
lest and most important works ever CON
tributed TO American literature. 1t will
take its place as volume indispensable
in the complete records of our national
history. The life struggle it purtrays
will be erected as a standard of emul-
alton to the youth and manhood of
America, who, without such examples,
might well doubt the possibility of
climbing so high from condition so
low. And scarcely less important to the
work and the lesson it has to teach, it
possesses advantages quite unparalleled
for holding interest, and stamping upon
all classes of minds its inherent priu-
ciples of freedom and manhood The
narrative of Douglass's days of slavery
and escape from bondage is hardly less
interesting than Uncle Toms Cabin, ="
while the truths lose nothing in compar-
iSon with the ideality of that work, and
it carries its subject through wider
range of accomplishment to a rank suf-
ficiently exalted to win all admiration.
1t is needless to speak of the literary
style of the book: the accomplishments
of the writer are known to all who read.
Americans will be proud of this donation
to their literature, and thankful TO Mr..
Douglass that he has made it himself.

The Value of SaWdust,

There are 500 vendors of sawdust in
New York, with capital of 5000, 900 in
vested and an annual business of over
81, 600, 600. -Four decades ago the mills
were glad to have the Sawdust carted
away; twenty-five years ago it was worth
only 80 cents load it is now worth
80 80 q load at the mills. 1t is used prin-
cipally at hotels, eating houses, grocer
les and other business places. When
wet and spread over doors, it makes the
sweeping cleaner work and prevents the
raising of lust. Packers Of glass, soda
water and many other small articles use
it. 1t is used by plumbers about pipes
and buildings, to deaden walls, floors
and ceilings Dolls and some living BIZ
peds are more or less stuffed with it.
Yellow pine makes the least dust and
best sawdust, and has a pungent, agree
able odor. Any white wood dust will
answer for the above purposes. Black
walnut sawdust, which has generally
been burned because it would not sell in
the market, has lately proved to be very
valuable for the tumbling processes OF
pin manufacture.

A Clover Cutter.

patch SAYS: A small beetle has been
discovered in the clover fields of this
county, which is working terrible de-
structions TO the plant. Indications
show that the insect has been at work
for some time. and there are no signs
Of an immediate let-up. 1t performs IFS
destructive work at the roots of the clio

and NAV be found in all stages of growth
although it is supposed that the priuci-
pal injury is done by the larve, which
works more particularly on the larger
roots. 1t is estimated that in some fields
one-tenth Of the clover has already been
destroyed since spring. The only meth
cd DISCRIMINATION that presents itself,
or has been suggested, is to pillow under
the clover. Some of our farmers appre-
bend dire results from this insect, and
their fears seem to be we'll founded.

DAVIS IN DANGER.
The Vice President Makes a Mistake that Nearly
Loses Him His Seat

Loses Him HIS Seat.
Washington Dispatch. Senator Dav-
id Davis unwittingly placed it in the
power of the Democrats to depose him
from the Presidency of the Senate to-day
and to elect n new man He left the
city to attend at the bedside of an old
railroad man in Delaware who is about
to die, and who he has supported for
many years. Before departing he wrote
letter to the Senate saying that he had
designated Senator Ingalls, to act "a
President pro tenn. during his absence
This letter created row in the Senate
when that body convened and it soon
became evident that Judge Davis had
Numbered badly and had exceeded his
authority in attemptingt to act for himself.
discussion brought out the fact that
the only way out of the difficulty was to
proceed to an election, and this the
Democrats were about to do when Sen
ator Sherman moved an adjournment
and it was carried. BY leaving the Sem
ate in the manner he did Judge Davis
vacated his position, and if an election
had ensued he would have been super
seeded The proper course for him to
have taken would have been to have no
tilted the Senate verbally yesterday that
he intended TO be absent from the city,
and if no objection was made he would
designate Mr.. Ingalls, to preside during
such absence. Davis had narrow es-
cape from losing his place, and if all the
Democrats had been in their seats he
would have returned to Washington to
find another person occupying his
chair.

When the dose was ready the butcher

The following story is the story of the
nine OF diamonds being called 1.-The Curse
OF scotland. A few evenings before the
battle OF Cullodon there were gathered
IN the apartments of the Pretender. at
inverness, few of his frieuds. for the
purpose of playing at cards. In the
course OF the evening the nine of dia-
monds belonging to the pack with which
they were playing was lost. On the
night after the battle which resulted so
disastrously for the rebel army. the Dnke
OF Cumberland entered Inverness. and
as was his invariable custom, took up
AAo duaiUclo III tu6 apartments which
had been so recently occupied by Prince
Charles Edward. On the following
morning scout brought in word that a
small portion of the rebel army had
taken shelter in deep gorge among the
mountains. The Duke at once directed
an officer to take number of men. sur
round the party, and put every man to
death who was found in arms. The off
Ger, reluctant to execute this inhuman
order, and perhaps fearful of other con-
sequences, declined to take the COM
mand without a written order. The
Duke looked around the room for a
piece of paper on which to write the or
der, when some one picked up the lost
card, and presented it to the Duke. who
wrote his order ON the back of it and
handed it to the officer. The soldiers
departed on their errand of buichery.
and so well did they execute the Dukes
command that not one of the devoted
Highlanders escaped death. Hence it
is that the nine of diamonds is called
The Curse of Scotland"

A Cure for Warts,

read a request for a cure for warts
in some paper, and think it was in this.
They are very troublesome, as | know,
and often laugh to myself when think
of the time piece of meat was stolen
from the pork barrel, rubbed over the
warts, then hidden, years ago, as l had
been told to do, and they would go of.
Perhaps faith was lacking; at all events,
instead or going off they grew larger
continually. Grandmother said to me
after this, "Why don't you cure those
warts?" After asking how, she said.
''Why, Just as | did mine once, with
milkweed, if they are seed warts. When
you get your dishes washed at night
they will be soaked up just right; then
go out and break off stalks of milkweed,
and apply the milk to each wart, being
careful not to wash or soak it off till morn
ing. Do this a few times, and they will
certainly disappear, though you may
think not, Now you try it." did try
her remedy faithfully, and since then 1
have recommended it, knowing it sure
cure for seed warts, for mine disappeared
after three or four applications only,
and never had any more. The only
discomfort was an intolerable itching at
the roots of the warts for few moments
after using ~" r'ill5.-COr. HCU'ebod.
