In his personal relations Mr. \ 9t%S was

His attachment to his friends WAS very

He was one Of the most charming of com
panions. He gave interest to every sub
ject he touched He was full of remuis-

Mint will grow from cuttings, but the
better modeof securing patch OF it is
TO set out the roots.
Feed plenty OF sunhower seeds to the
hens after they begin melting, as it
greatly assists them in that process.
Save the seed potatoes for next year
by selecting from the most productive
hills, and which are free from btemish.
When the hyacinths are done bloom.
ing their places may be filled with gladi;;
oluses and tigridias. Make the ground
rich and keep the soil loose around
them.
Ashes sometimes cause the soil to
bake, especially after q rain. Run the
cultivator over the ground frequently
where large quantities Of ashes have
been used.
Do not NOW the lawn grass close, as It
may die out. The best time to NOW is
Just after heavy rain. II the roots arc
exposed too much during dry season
the lawn will be injured.
Prices for spring chickens, for the late
supplies, have been higher this season
than for several years past. Thisis very
encouraging, as 1t shows that lac
Matched chickens can be sold at profit,
Ducks and geese should never have
access to a lawn. They pull tho grass
UP by the roots. As they are voraCiout
feeders, and not iastidious, they can be
made to do good service, however, on
fields that are covered with young weeds
Weak rose bushes may be made u
grow by giving them IN occasional
watering OF liquid manure. 1t should
not be too strong. An application once
week is better than applying large
quantity at once. Always stir the sol
after the ground becomes dry.
Horses that are compelled to perform
hard service should not receive fixed
allowance OF food, but given oil the hay
they can cat, with IN extra mess OF oats
at night. They should also be protected
from flies and insects, in order to res
we'll, and be in better condition for ser

Washington Star.
West Virginia is not usually counted
among the doubtful States, but evident
ly tho Republicans have hopes OF sue
cess there in the November election.
Northern brains, muscle and capital
have been pouring in steadily since it
was discovered that the State has re-
sources worth developing and Northern
political ideas have accompanied them.
For this reason the Democratic plurality
has been shrinking by a steady grada-
ton from 1868 in 1S76to II, las in 1880,
4,22l in 1884, and 905 in the Congress
ional contest OF 1856. 1t may be that
Blaine's personal popularity had some
thing to do with the falling Off OF 10000
votes between HancoCk's and Cleve-
lands pluralities; but, while Harrison
ia not Blaine, he is tho candidate OF the
Protectionists, and it is upon the effects
OF tho controversy over the protective
system that the Republican expectation
OF a very close fight in West Virginia is
based. The Republicans may be ex'
pected to cultivate with assiduity their
chances in West Virginia, because the
six electoral votes OF the State added to
those OF Harrison's own State and OF the
generally conceded Republican States,
would elect Harrison without the aid Of
New York, New Jersey or Connecticut,

A few weeks since Colonel Matt
Cooper established Democratic paper
ut Grafton. The sheet is now defunct,
and Colonel Cooper has issued the fol-
lowing unique farewell to the Democ-
racy Of Taylor county. Itcontains some
very hard hits. Here is what no says:
To ne Democracy Of TdyEOr County:
On the eve OF my departure from Tay-
lor county, desire TO avail myself OF
the generous courtesies which you have
in the true spirit of journalistic ethics
always extended to me and to my "babe-
ling" the Grafton Times. l came here
at the earnest solicitation Of gentlemen
whom l supposed possessed that deli
cate sense OF honor which ordinarily
obtains among gentlemen, l was not
here long-I had hardly felt the pulse of
the grand masses OF the people, beating
in happy and harmonious unison with
the sentiments OF my paper--un-
til a cloud gathered on the po-
litical horizon. AS an old soldier
who had faithfully and fearlessly
worn the gray of duty, not Of sentiment,
] supposed the lines were solid, and we
only awaited the shrill trumpet blast OF
our commander, and victory was ours.
No, gentlemen, the lurking Hend OF fac.
ton began to show its hydra head, and
the timid cry OF treason treason"
rang through what in my innocence, and
in my humble and honest devotion to
my party, supposed the stern and serried
columns OF u compact and harmonious
DemoCracy-I, Us u true soldier, went
aloft upon the watchtower to
survey the troubled waters, and
instead OF the stately old ship
OF Democracy l found mutinous
crew. With a heavy heart looked down
upon the mad waters OF conflicting strife,
and | saw the lusty sailors, Martin, who
once deceived the people, and Wilson,
who would bite the hand that fed him,
both striving to tear down and dishonor
the flag Of my love and alteration, The
cry came up: desert the ship, or we
will spike the keel Of the stately old
sloop." Las an honest sailor, disdained
their cry, and despised their request,
and left them batting rs best they could
amid the filthy waters OF ignoble faction.
Tho Times was steered into safe
haven with her flag untarnished and her
spirit undauntcd. She is no more.

What is this nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be afflicted ?
II you will remember few years ago
the word Malaria was comparatively IN
known-to-day it is as common as any
word in the English language, yet this
word covers only the meaning Of another
word used by our forefathers in times
past. So It is with nervous diseases, as
they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandiathers called Biliousness,
and all are caused by troubles that arise
from diseased condition OF the Liver
which in performing its functions finding
it cannot dispose OF the bile through the
ordinary channel is compelled to pass IT
off through the system, causing nervous
troubles, Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc.
