Good Advice.
Nearly all the Ills that af1lict US can be pre-

no medicine known that will do this as surely as
Parker's Ginger Tonic.

The St. Paul Globe devotes All edi-
torial to considering the singular case
of DR.. Thomas W. Howard, an eminent
physician of Fulton, Mo-, who died on
the 9Th. Twenty years before his wife
died. She appeared to him after death
and told him that in twenty years
she would come Tor him and he would
then go with her. She appeared on
time and the doctor gave up his body
(uot his soul, as the stereotyped phrase
has it,) and accompanied her To the
spirit world.
The wise Globe proceeds to account
for this on 'natural" grounds. The
doctor meditated on her death and
supposed he had vision. The time
allotted for his stay, says the wise
Globe ''was doubtless a thought, or
figment perhaps, of his own mind"
Perhaps it was Unconscious cerebra-
tion.' Or may it not have been pro-
duced by cracking the ankle joints?
Or perhaps the doctor had a battery
concealed under his clothing. Or, was
it not written on the slate before and
the doctor deftly changed the states?
You see, there is so much legerdemain
around that it's no use to believe in
spirits, no how. Yes. it must have
been a ''fig- -ment.0

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM
The platform adopted by the Demo-
cratic State Convention which met in
st. Paul on Thursday last is the best
platform we have seen from any State
Democratic convention in twenty years.
It is in marked contrast to the non-
committal platform adopted by the
Republicans, and has at least the merit
of taking square positions and express
ing its meaning in unmistakabls Ian
guage. The preamble and the second
resolution especially ought to be adept
ed by the Republicans as we'll rs by all
political parties, and we hope the day
is net distant when the people will re-
fuse power to any party which does not
make the same declarations, (l) as to
personal liberty; (2) as to sumptuary
laws and class legislation; and l3) as to
the rights and powers of the majority.
Unless the government of the Re.
public is conducted on these principles.
the liberty of the people is gone, and
the Republic is only monarchy under
another narae.~ .z5 49,.
TIE preamble and the second resolu-
ton of the Democratic platform of
Minnesota ought to he nailed to the
masthead Of every newspaper in Amer
ica and kept flying there rs long as
there is newspaper published in the
land.
The attempt on the part Of the W0r-
thingt0n ADVANCE to deny the man
ifest and undeniable truth Of the
Herald's assertion that in point of
fertility, beauty and general excellence
there is no comparison between Rock
county and Mobiles, occupies good
deal of space in its last issue and proves
nothing at all crcditable to Mobiles
county. 1t is true that Mobiles county
has six lakes while Rock county has
only river with numerous water pow
eys; that Rock county has only two
rail- e;.ds while Mobiles claims five that
it hasn't got. It is true also that No.
bles county is larger than Rock but the
more territory u county has like that
embraced within the borders of Mobiles
tile worse it is off.-Luverne Herald.
What in the name of fairness has
come over the boy that he keeps "a
pickin' and a-pickin'" at Mobiles coun-
ty? The youngster must think that
the way to convince people of the
fertility of Rock county is to pitch into
Mobiles rs u frog pond and a barren.
If lie were older and had more sense he
wouldn't do so. Rock is good county
but it is in 40 way superior to Mobiles.
We have rs much good high, rolling
wheat land as Rock, and have three or
four townships of magnificent stock
and dairy land besides, which Rock has
not. Mobiles can raise as much good
wheat as Rock, and have enough laud
left for millions Of tons of hay and
myriads of cattle.
Tie boy must be jealous, or why is
he always ''pickin" at Big Mobiles aud
the Big ADVANCE lie always was
an envious young fool anyway.

I'ffE BOSS COUNTRY.


We had the pleasure Of y brief call on
Saturday, from Thos. II. Parsons, who
had just returned from Illinois with Il
party of home seekers. Mr.. Parsons

Of Ohio, DrOther-in-iaW of 3. +. Mills,
Esq, general passenger and ticket
agent of the B. T.. Il. & n. railway.
whom we were pleased to learn wanted
to buy land largely, and who expressed
himself as highly pleased with cur Sec
ton. He said he had been all over the
eastern and middle states. but had no
where found anything to compare with
the beauty ard fertility Of this part of
minnesota; and if we don't number him
among our residents soon, we are much
mistaken. And why not? A ride into
the country III almost any direction
around us, will convince anyone that
no finer land, heavier crops or happier
class of farmers can be found in the
west. Mr.. Parsons proposes to repeat
the excursion in September, when he
expects to bring several hundred out
with him, and we promise them in ad-
vance that we will show them a sight
that is good for sore cyes.-Adrian
Guardian.
Mr. Moderwell voiced the general
verdict. The fact is. they are all sur
prised. 1t don't seem possible that
soil can be from two to four feet deep,
grass two to four feet high and two to
four tons to the acre, potatoes as big
as musk melons, wheat 20 to 80 bushels
to the acre, timothy the best ever ship
ped to the Boston market, butter the
sweetest this side of Orange Co., n. y,
and ''all away up here" But it's a
fact. That's the way this country
''allus comes Gown stairs" It's the
sweetest, cleanest, freshest climate out
of doors, and the richest soil this side
of the Mississippi river bottoms.

SHEPHERDSTOWN COUNTY WEST VIRGINIA. SATURDAY, Ma
PoLITENESS PAYS.

James Finnegan. sailor bold.
Who naturally went 10 sea,
Was never known to swear or scold-
A Almighty pleasant man was he.
Twas his belief one never lost
BY trying hard TO be polite,
And twas his rule, at any cost,
To do a favor when he might.
While sailing in the Southern sea
His ship WAS wrecked; ships often are.
His mates were lost, but saved was he
BY clinging TO a floating spar.
he gained an island that was nigh,
And there he met new mischance;
At once he was made captive by
The barbarous Inhabitants.
They grabbed him with avidity,
And bound him 10 an upright stake;
Piled wood about him. He could see
They meant that he alive should bake.
Now James was not at all inclined
To undergo fricassee,
But still was 10 his fate resigned
Because, forsooth, he had TO be.
A chief then tried to make some Hre
BY putting friction TO stick;
4 toilsome task-he did perspire
So much IL almost made him sick.
James pitied him, and then bethought
Himself OF matches. Glanced II he
Had some in a tin-box and not
The least bit damaged by the sea.
His hands were free a match he drew
From out the box; all 10 him turned
Their gaze AS sailors always do,
He scratched 1t on his leg II burned.
He held II out for them TO take;
They took 1t not, as you may guess;
With awe and terror nll did shake;
Some fled with yells OF dire distress.
The boldest dared to cut the band
That bound his body to the stake.
They gave him then to understand
That all he wanted he could take.
He ran the island-was the boss,
Till rescued by passing bark.
No man ever dared TO Cross
The man whose leg could strike spark.
