From the Chicago, ILL.,, "Herald.")
This slang phrase of the day has
world of meaning and of warning. The
chronic misery of the world is more than
half made up from negligence and the
remainder from Ignorance. 1t Is instruc-
tive to note from the catalogues OF dis
eases that ine-tenths of fatal cases reach
their chronic stage through stupid in
difference to correct treatment, when
the system lie first assalled. 1t is easily
shown that II the first indications of any
ailment are taken hold of and treated
promptly tens of thousands of precious
lives would be saved. For instance,
rheumatism, which SO sorly afIlicts the
human family and which is defined as
painful Inflammation affecting the mus
cles and joints of the body, even in its
mildest form never grasps its prey with.
out due warning. But the person so at
tackled mentally resolves, even while suf-
feripg, to see to the trouble later, and
posUpones relief In most cases, till too
late Hence the disease rapidly develops
either into the chronic or inhammatory
stage, or into dangerous type of worse
malady. There is a remedy, however,
that does not temporize with anything
in the nature OF pain, bit goes
TO Work on stfalgnt JoD, searches
out the spot and gets there with
out falteriDg and without failure.
Cases of forty, thirty, twenty, fifteen
years standing, classed among incurable
rheumumatics, have been cured like
magic and patients who have spent for
tunes in vain; others who have hobbled
through half life on crutches, rejoice to
acknowledge in writing that they have
found prompt and permanent cure of
their agony by the use of this remedy.
Their testimony is at ali time open to the
inspection of any one desirous of learning
the truth, and for this purpose is kept on
file in the handwriting of those who testi-
fly to its marvellous virtue. Now these by
way of illustration point back to the
theme, to prove how to get the right
thing at the right time and In the right
way; and, to see you later on another
point 1t is already manifest that no other
discovery in science could perform such
miracles but st. Jacobs Oil, which is re-
ferted to, and which is known to the en-
tire universe. s. Y. l., is a current joke,
but joke or no joke, it is a fit epitaph for
many tombstoIes.

A large proportion of the food of our
animals Is used to keep up the temper
allure of the body to about one hun
dred degrees. Cold weather, damp
barnyards, cracks in the barn or sheds,
want of bedding and exposure to
storms, greatly increase the consump.
ton of food to no good purpose. Much
more regard is now paid to the comfort
OF our stock in these respects than for
merly. We think, however, many
fail to realize the loss of food sustained
by compelling animals to drink ice
cold water. Water as It comes fresh
from the well has a temperature of
about fifty-fye degrees. When al
lowed to stand until frozen over and
the ice then broken, and pieces of ice
suffered to remain in the water, the
temperature speedily falls to thirty five
degrees. Experiments are reported
which seem to show that il pays to
artificially warm the drinking water
for mich cows. Be this as it may, no
one can doubt that water at fifty-five
degrees is cold enough for health. The
water that an animal drinks has to be
raised to the temperature of It's body,
say one hundred degrees. And, ol
course, it requires much more fuel in
food to raise a pailtul of water from
thirty-five degrees to one hundred de-
grees than a pailful of fresh water
from fifty five degrees to one hundred
degrees. II the heat required to warm
the pailful of water twenty degrees
was derived from hay, or straw, OF
grain, the loss would not in many
cases be severely felt. But, as a mat
ter of fact, this heat Is obtained from
the consumption of fat and flesh, OF
butter and cheese. This is expensive
fuel. We are well aware that it is
not always easy to furnish animals
water tree from ice. We fill troughs
with water, and the cows, aud sheep
and horses do not drink as much as
we expected, and the next morning
there is thick layer OF ice upon the
water. In such case, break the ice
in as large pieces as possible and pull
them out with a potato hook or rake
Do not leave them to melt in til,

FELICITY.

The cat sang on the backyard fence, -
Whence all but she had fled
seized my stock of common sense
And flung il at her head |; J s
I flung my best habilaments,
My chair, my feather bed
Yet still with passion quite intense,
With strange contorted linesmepts,
That cat sang on the backyard fence,
Whence oil but she had fed.
l spoke with strange grandiloquence,
With coaxing tones plead
My boots were gone-my last defense
My Sunday hoes had sped;
All things or petty or immense
Found Judgement on the shed.
The feliue wondered much from whence
They came: but still with grief intense,
She sang upon the backyard fence,
Whence oil but she had fed.
She reused two other residents
Oft had wished them dead,
For they were music loving gents
And dwelt above my head.
They seized their stringed instruments,
Which stood hard by their bed
They played with wondrous eloquence-
With one vast howl Of pain intense
That feline fed afar from thence:
She sings no more upon our fence,
But seeks loiftier emiuence-
Our neXt-door neighbors shed.

HUNTING FOR Observation-Disclosures
Va, june 2S.-Partics living iu this State
and South Carolina have instituted legal
proceedings By which they may recover
large quantity of property in Kentucky,
on which portion of the city of Frankfort
is built. 1t appears that Lieutenant Col
onel Charles Fleming, Revolutionary
soldier of distinction and valor, was granted
for his services tract of six thousand
acres in the State of Ohio. After his death
tho land was sold, but no valid conveyance,
it is now claimed, was ever made of any
portion of it. The matter has been care
fully looked into by the heirs. who claim
that the city of Frankfort is principally
built on the tract which was formerly Ohio
territory, aud the records Of the Virginia
land Office in tho State capitol show very
plainly the entry of the original decd and
the location of the land as above stated.
1t is said that there arc only eight living
representatives of old Colonel Fleming !;
among these Mrs. j. NJ. Benson, of
South Carolina p. Bernard, of Richmond,
Va, and Miss Judy Bernard of Lynch
burg. All of them regard the result of
their proceedings with the liveliest and
most hopeful anticipations, as tho property
claimed will amount to some $4,000, 900
in value.

Do Our JUDGES WINK AT TIE CRIME
OF MURDER.-Our Judges never fail to
lend their official influence toward meeting
out punishment for the theft of q COW or
hog, but When murder has been commit
ted our Judges seem exceeding kind to the
criminal. They unlock our Jail doors for
them, and by their official act, create a
sentiment in favor of the man who has COM
mitted the highest offence known to the
human or the divine law-that of murder.
1t is useless to expect juries, even if they
are properly selected, to do their duty, as
long as tho Judges do whatever lies in their
power to excuse tho murderous criminal.
The example Of our Judges, and the acts
Of our juries, have taught US that it is more
dangerous to kill pig, than it is to kill
our neighbors. Unless our Judges cease to
lend their influence in behalf of murder
crs, we need not expect to see the law en-
forced. .-AJJeutWc Press and Banner.
