They are talking of bridging the
Mississippi at the Slaughter House, New
Orleans, where the river is 2,4O0 feet
wide. An engineer proposes seven
spans Of 800 feet each, ,one to be a draw.
The piers are to be creosoted piles,
driven in clusters, and heavily capped
and cased with iron. The depth of the
water will be no obstacle, as the piles
can be spliced. The estimated cost is
s1s, s,OOo, coo.
The peach growing center is gradual
ly moving south. A few years ago
there were great orchards in New Jer-
sey. Then Delaware was the chief
producer. New Maryland and vir-
ginia are coming to the front. The
largest peach farms are in Maryland.
The Round Top farm has 1875 900 peach
trees. On the estate of Col. Watkins
there are 10000 trees. A peach trees
usefulness is over after ten or twelve
years Of life, and the soil in which it
grows is unfit for peach culture.
This is the way the New York Sun
takes to electioneer for Mr.. Randall,
elf the democrats are resolved to iden-
'tifiy themselves with the great whisky
speculation and to have their share OF
theomillions of money that are involved
in it, there is one short and decisive
way Of making it known: Let them
vote against Samuel j. Randall as a
candidate for speaker. That will settle
the business in favor of the whisky
men in short order." In other words
everybody whe is for somebody else
for speaker is in favor of some dishon-
est scheme regarding whisky taxes.
This. we presume, is called courteous
treatment of gentlemen in the same po-
litical party who do not advocate the
Suns man for speaker. Such talk is
not only bosh, but coming from whence
1t does is impudent bosh beside.

A Vegetable Product,

Only used in AYERS AGUE CURE, has
proven itself Il never failing and rapid
cure for every form Of Malarial Dis
order, Fever and Ague, or Chills and
Fever. No injury follows its use, and
its effects are permanent. 1t rouses
the system to condition of vigorous
health, cleanses the blood of malarial
poison, and imparts feeling of COM
fort and security most desirable in
Ague districts. 1t is an excellent tonic
and preventative, as well as cure, of
all complaints peculiar to malariOus,
marshy and miasmatic regions. The
great superiority of AYERS AGUE CURE
over any other compound Is that 1t
contains no Quinine, Arsenic, or min
eral; consequently it produces no
quinism or injurious effects whatever
upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy as If they had
never had the disease.
The direct action of AYERS AGUE
CURE upon the Liver and Digestive
Organs makes it a superior remedy
for Liver Complaints, producing many
remarkable cures, where other medt.
cines have failed.
For sale by all druggists.

Democratic state Convention.

The Democratic state convention met
at Lansing Wednesday. To relieve them
selves, they adopted five plank plat
form, the first cOngratulatOry over the
election of Ia Greenback governor and
six of the eleven Congressman. The
second afflrms anew their unalterable
principles of the party, and declares for
tariff for revenue only. The "unalter-
able principles of the party" is good, in
view of the fact that their national
platforms for the past twenty odd years
have been so very "unalterable" in prin-
ciples affirmed. The third calls atten-
ton to the Senatorial contest. The
fourth whistles to keep up their courage
in the coming contest, and affirms their
confidence In "a new victory, worthy
the last" when they elected a Green
hacker.
John W. Champlin, Grand Rapids,
was nominated for Judge of the Supreme
court, full term, and Arthur M. Clark, of
Lexington, for Regent for full term.
The convention left it with a committee
to perfect arrangements with the Nation
al Convention to fill the remainder of
the ticket.
-" THE GREENBACKERs.
The Greenback convention met in the
same city Thursday, and the lion and
the lamb laid down together, the cOnven-
ton accepting the crumbs that dropped
from the Democratic table, and nOmi-
mated Thomas r. Sherwood. of Kalama-
zoo, for Justice of the Supreme court, to
fill vacancy and c. j. Willett. of Gratiot
county for Regent. They had to have
platform, also. 1t reaffirms the Ma
tional platform of 1881, resOlutes the
usual fraud and corruption of the Re-
publican party, denounces, Congress for
reducing the revenue, calls for reform
by giving the loaves and fishes to the
immaculate Green hackers, and ex-
presses sympathy with all movements
against mOnOpOlies. Et1gp
So much wind was spent during the
two days, that the citizens of Lansing
apprehended that the front end of Wig
gins greatest storm had struck that
city.

THE NEW YEAR.


o, the new year. glad and free.
Fearless, fearless. careless, bold,
Light of every home is he,
Pride of all the young and old;
Everything is filled with life,
Every heart Is full of cheer,
Every business has its strife,
In the active, glad New Year.
In the busy halls of trade,
In the rumbling rolling mill.
Where commercial gains are made
And the wheels are never still.
Into mansion grand and high,
Into novels low and brown,
CLEANS the same light from the sky,
Comes the New Years blessing down.
Bells from every church and tower
Peal aloud their slivery notes,
Telling Of the New Years power
From their noisy. brazeu thr0atus
Tell OF Joy through all the land,
Tell of cunning days OF Rold,
Tell of peace on every hand,
Tell OF shepherds In the fold.
Joyous, jovial. happy year.
Chasing gloom aud doubt away.
Bringing light and love and cheer
Out of darkness into day,
Glad we hail thy crimson light,
Hall IL with the harp OF praise,
Hail II by our firesides bright,
Through the coming endless day4
Like the falling of the dew
On the withered grass and flower,
Like the sunshine of the true
Into hearts grown old and sour
Like an eagle in Its flight
Over hilltops bright and clear,
Comes the gentle morning light
OF the joyous, glad New Year.
