St. Nicholas for Move mn Der

BEGINS the new volumn in @ splendid style with colored frontispiece, by R. B. Birch, entitled ''Indian Summer. |" This is an entirely new departure that will be heartily welcomed,
 Another prominent feature is the first installment of J. T. Trowbridge's new serial "The Tinkham Brothers Tide Mill, which is live American story about live American boys and girls; and 1t promises to be the best story this pop- ular author has yet written.
 Then there is a beginning of another Stockton. He writes of boy and girl life in the thirteenth century, and while the story is true to life, it is as fascinat- ing as his charming fairy-tales.
 But the November number is also the Thanksgiving number, and so Miss Sophie Swett has contributed 8 jolly story called "All the Plums, which any one with half an eye can see must have some mysterious connection with the Thanksgiving pudding. "Old Mordecai' s Cockerep' is another amusing Thanks giving tale, and there is daintily illus trated "Grace for Child" from Her. rick
 Miss Eva L. Ogden has written, and MT. Alfred Brennan has illustrated, a quaint and beautiful poem, covering eight pages, entitled "The Quest, " founded on Little Bo-peep's sheeps' search for their long-lost tails.
 The pranks and doings of '"Tad' Lin coin, the late Presidents youngest son, who made things so lively at the White House during his fathers administra- tion, are very entertainingly treated by Noah Brooks, who was President Lin colns private secretary.
 '"Hhe False Sir Santa Claus" a beau tiful and novel form of Christmas enter tainment, by the author of 1.-The Land of Nod, , is printed in this number, with music and stage-directions, in ample time for it to be effectively produced in holiday season
 But we must stop here, not because there is nothing more in the number to write about, but because there is so much,- many beautiful pictures, SC many clever poems and bright stories and sketches that, if people wish tc know about them, they must look fol themselves.

The following letter is from practi- cal farmer who has mind of his own, if he has no great scientific knowledge, and we should be glad to hear from others of the same stamp upon any sub ject relating to agriculture. This great industry, although the most neglected, is the very sheet anchor of the country and of our prosperity, and it is time the farmers come to the front and make their influence felt; other industries have enjoyed the monopoly long enough.

NARROW ESCAPE

Marvellous Cure of Stone in the Bladder
 Large Stone Removed by "Ken.
 nedy's Fav rite Remedy"
 From the Rttsdeld (Mdss) Eagle.
 Stone in the Bladderi is . very dangerous asH. ment; but many most remarkabie cures have od late been wrought by "Kennedy's Fayorite Rome dy"-the invention ol Dr. Kennedy of Ron. dout, N. Y. Another striking case is now added to the list. MT. Peter Lawler, of Dalton, Messs states in letter to Dr. Kennedy that he had been troubled with bladder complaint for IA years, and had consulted at different times seven physi. clans; but nothing beyond temporary alignment of the pain had been worked. Towards the end of last January Mir. Lawler called on Dr. Ken nedy. Sounding him, the doctor "struck stone" He decided that MT. Lawler should first try the "Favorite Remedy" so as, if possible, to avoid an operation. And here is the remarkable results "Dear Doctor Kennedy-The day after came home passed two gravel stones, and am doing nicely now. If you would like to see the stones | will send them to you" This letter bears date Dalton, Mass, Feb. 6th," and is signed " Peter Lawler." The stones which are 90 large as to war rant for " "Kennedys Favorite Remedy " the claim that it is the most successful specific for Stone yet | discovered, are now in Dr. Kennedy's possession. Incidentally MT. Lawler also states that the "Fav | orite Remedy" at the same time cured him of . stubborn case of Rheumatismi and it is fact that in all affections arising out of disorder of the veror urinary organs it is 9 searching remedy and works marvellous benefits.

NEW POST IN WISCONSIN,

Special Correspondence National Tribune.
SPARTA, WIS, Aug. 28.-John w. Lynn
Post, No. 80, G. 4. r, Department of Wiscon-
sin, would like place at your campfire, and
join in social chit-chat over the soul-stirring
times of the years gone by, when we, with the
multitude of Union hosts were marching
through Dixie, to the tune CT Yankee-Doodle,
to certain victory.
John W. Lynn Post was organized last
spring with Mai James A. Davidson as Com
mander, and now bears upon its rolls some
seventy comrades, and soon we hope to swell
the number to 100 and more.
Last Saturday afternoon, August 26th, n
delegation of our Post, with martial music, took
the train and went over to TOmah, some
twenty miles distant, to organize Henry W..
Cressy Post, No. ~, G. A. r., Department of
Wisconsin, Commander Davidson having been
detailed as mastering officer. The boys of
Tomah and vicinity met us at the depot, es-
corted us up town and to the Firemen's Hall
for general reception, supper being served at
the Sherman House.
Precisely at o'clock, after listening to some
of the old-time music, which sent new life
and hope to many weary ones during the cam
paigns Of '61 and '65, the work Of mastering
and organizing the ex-soldiers present into the
grand comradeship of our Grand Army of the
Republic was begun. At 8 o'clock, our work be-
ing done, after hearty congratulations all
around, we bid them Godspeed in the cause,
and urged the Importance of persuading all
worthy ex-saldiers within their reach to join
the Order, and, as far as possible, to make its
objects known.
Post No. 42 has good corps of officers, pos
sessed of the right spirit which will make its
influence felt, not only in its immediate circle,
but in Grand Army meetings of the Depart
ment. With State Senator G. K. Erwin as
Commander, ands other energetic comrades
as officials, an enthusiasm will be aroused
which will render it necessary for neighbor-
ing Posts to look well to their laurels.
Well, as we said before, we say now, let the
good work go on until we become mighty
host, as successful in developing the objects of
our Order as we were in putting down the
rebellion. More anon.
