Peterson's Magazine for July is

A London Dinner Party, by Mrs.
Ann S. Stephens, describing din

late Earl OF Carlisle's. Nothing that
we have read brings before one, so
vividly, the state and splendor of
such meal, in the houses of what
D'Israeli used to call the higher aris-
tccracy. There are, in addition, sew
eral capital love-stories: espec ally

graduates who have become editors
and doctors.
The several professors who are grad
yates from the college-and consid-
ering the age of the college their num-
Der and influence is remarkable---are
not lacking in this same tendency.
Prof. Cook has, during the present
spring, set out more than 100 trees
along the highway which passes
through his farm near Owosso.
These are not all naples or elms, but
include several of the most desirable
species, such as lindens, naples, ,elms,
walnuts, chestnuts, catalpas, larches,
ashes, butternuts, willows, etc.
They are not set equi-distant, in one
uniform straight line, but are
grouped, not so as to injure the road,
but to produce very pleasing effect.
The professor has also put in nearly
mile of ditch, and has added some
of the most choice cattle of the Short
horn breed to his farm. Prof. Cook
has often remarked that he desired
to have one of the best herds Of
Shorthorns and one of the finest or
chards possible. He surely seems in
the way to realize his wish. A fine
creek runs across the farm which has
its source entirely in springs on the
place. This is the seat offne pro-
spective fsh-ponds.

Sheep Shearing of l.. w. & O. Barnes


Some time since l.. w. & O. Barnes,
of Byron, sent us the following re-
port Of the shearing of their sheep,
which has been necessarily left out
until this publication. The report is
nearly the same as printed in the
Michigan Farmer. The Messrs.
Barnes report their stock as doing
finely, and that the demand for young
stock is as large as they can fill. Any
one wishing to purchase Merino
sheep, Poland china pigs, or Short
Horn cattle, will do we'll TO visit
them. Of the sheep shearing they
say:
Having completed the shearing of
our flock of Merinos, we send you
the table of weights of portion Of
the flock. Our flock consists of 81
breeding ewes, 20 yearling ewes, 40
yearling rams, and S aged rams. The
feeces of the 81 breeding ewes
averaged 1s lbs. 7 ozs; of the 20
yearling ewes II lbs; of the 40 year
ling rams IS lbs. 8 ozs, and of the
five aged rams 26 lbs. 8 ozs.

been Warmers Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure, manufactured in Rochester, n. l.,
a remedy that has won its way into the
confidence Of the public solely upon the
remarkable merits it possesses. AS a re-
suit, it is more widely used and thorough
ly praised than any medicine which mas
ever been before the American public.
Indeed there is not drug store In the
entire land where it cannot be found.
Although Bright's disease is so COM
mon in cities, 1t is still more prevalent
in the country. When eminent physl-
clans in the largest cities are not able
to recognize Bright's disease, 1t is only
| natural that in the country where there
are few physicians of any kind, and
those few so macquainted with the dis
| ease as to call it by some other name, IL
should rage terribly and yet unknown
to the ones who are suffering with IT..
Thousands of people can look back and
recall the death of friends from what
was supposed to be some common COM
plant, when it was really Bright's dis
| ease, AND NO ONE KNEW 1T. The terri
bic pleurO- pneumonia, which has been
so dreaded, is usually the result of ure-
mic OF kidney poison. Lung fever can
be traced TO a similar source. Most
cases of paralysis arise from the same
difficulty as well as innumerable tevers,
lung, throat, head and bowel troubles.
A vast number of ladies have suffered
and died from complaints common to
their sex called, perhaps. general debili-
ty, when, could the real cause have been
known, Il would have been found to be
BTightS disease, masqueradlng under
another name. In marked contrast to
the sad cases which have been above de-
scribed are the experiences of many
prominent people who were as low as
any of the persons mentioned, but who
were remarkably restored to former
health and vigOr by this same remedy.
Among this number are the following
prominent names: Col. John c. Whitner,
Atlanta, Ga; b. f. LaTTabee, Boston,
Mass; Gen. C. A. Hickman, Phillipsburg,
n. j.; Rev. ID. ID. Buck, ID. D., Geneva, n.
j.; DR.. f. A. McManus, Baltimore, Nd;

land, o.; Henry T. Champney, Boston,
Mass; Elder James S. Prescott, North
Union, o., who is prominent member
of the Shaker community, and many
others.
To all candid minds the force of the
above facts must come with special
power. They show the Importance of
prOmptness and attention to the first
symptoms of disOTdeTed health before
disease becomes fixed and hope departs.
They show how this can successfully be
done, and that the dangers which await
neglect can only with difficulty be re-
moved

house of the Florida Central Il Western
railroad was blown to pieces, tho Sec

lousy escaping with few bruises.
The adjoining house, containing Il
number of co!ored labOrers, was
blown 10 atoms. Samuel White, an ill.,
mate, was blown two or three hundred
yards through the air, fearfully mangled
and instantly killed. Five others were
more or less injured. Huge trees were
twisted and broken, grass was torn up by
the roots and the ground left us bare as if
prepared for cultivation. Many cattle
and hogs were killed. Those who saw the
cloud describe it as pear shaped, rising
and falling in its progress, and luminous
with red and yellow light. At Tallahassee,
Gallies' hall, the new hotel and other

They remained in session about one hour

clined emphaticaIly to make public any
thing that had been said or done. 1t was
stated as fact in political quarters, how
ever, that the conference had decided not
to issue the proposed open letter to the
candidates, asking them to withdraw from
the contest in favor Of a more universally
acceptable person, and that no further
efforts would be made in the matter. This
was said to have been partly influenced by
the fact that SO few business men had ell
listed in the movement, but more esps.

sEmci by the c.iairmen of the two state

In relation to the statement made by
Thomas Cochran and other Stalwart men,
bers Of the conference, that WartoE Barker
and the Independents made the Overtures
for the compromise, Mr.. Barker is reported
to have denied it emplatically and to have
said: ''Any report to that effect is gross
misrepresentation. The Stalwart campaiEn
