The Closing of an Important
OnItet.

The blockade of po is not more injurious
to it, commerce than is even the temporary OBJ
structon of the bowels tn the health of the
system. Constipation necessarily arrests the
secretion of bile, impedes and disorders di-
gestion, and poisons the circulation. The safe.
and most effective, as it is also the most genial,
laxative and anti-bilious medicine in existence
is Hostetter's stomach Bitters, and 1t is more
than probable that its sovereign efficacy as a
preventive and remedy for intermittent and
remittent fever is largely due to its reform
atory action upon the liver, an organ prejudic-
iary involved in all malaral complaints. Per-
sons with a tendency also to rheumatic,
neuralgic and kidney trouble cannot do better
than to antsgonize it with Hostetter's stomach
Bitters, which invariably checks it at the out
set. The weak, moreover, are invested with
strength by this fine fnyigorant.

Changes OF tho Weather and Moon.

After drought there is reason &c
expect change of weather upon tho
o-callcd full of the moon or one o
its phases, because these phases arc
only seven and three -cights days
apart, and the father VIC advance in
time the nearer we come to the
change of rain, and this time cannot
be, at any time, more than three and
clcvcn-sixtccnth days from So
called change of the moon. But
there is, in fact, no change more than
about the same as occurs to the
earth, and as the earth docs not con
tract to a narrow crescent and then
expand to the globosity Of a full orb,
so does not the moon.
The moon is globe, approximate
ly, now and always. 1t is common
knowledge that the moon has no
light nor heat of its own. No light
save that reelected from the sun, and
as a full measure Of the suns light
grows and WHITES plant and animal
life rs well, and total deprivation
of that light sicklics both plant and
animal, so will every measure be-
tween the full power and the entire
deprivation differ. The moon then
by rejecting more or less light may
reflect more or less variation in plant
or animal life.
SO much for theory. Facts, says
Gadgrind, are stubborn things. ]
have kept record of all operations
for years on plants, corn, potatoes,
ETC.; on operations on animals, swine,
male and female, horses and cattle;
on fence building, house shingling,
etc, and as n result find no differ
cncc in result, no matter what the
phase, apparent, of the moon may
be, and my results are also fully as
good as those who mind the moon.
But to return to the weather busi-
ness. The utter nonsense OF the
idea that the "moon governs the
weather. is shown from the plain
fact that under the power of the
same moon Texas may have n two
years drouth, Georgia good seasons,
the South good seasons, the West,
Illinois, ETC., parchcd by drouths, one
ncighborhood good and scasonablc
rains, another settlement, not five
miles distant, not a shower; the one
rejoicing, the other dishcartcncd. |
may odd that one reason why some
think that the moons power is po-
tent, is the fact that such remember
the coincident and forget tho fail
ures of the theory to connect with
tho fact. Furthermore, in the time

The Newspaper Mon.
WHAT TIE REV. DIR TALMAGE HAS TO
SAY OF THEN.

"Eyery newspaper reporter in
Now ycrk is lily pcrsoual friond. l
have been betrayed by about every
class Of men in the world, but never
by a newspaper man, and believe
there is spirit of fairness abroad in
the newspapers that is hardly to be
found anywhere else. There is no
man, however poor, if he has been
done an injustice, that cannot get
himself set right by the newspaper.
We find great deal of fault with
the newspapers. Perhaps by our
own indistinctncss we are reported
as saying just what we did not
say, there is a regular riot of com
mas and 'scmicolons and periods, and
we get used to talking about the
'blundering printing press Or
sometimes we take up paper full
of social scandals and divorce cases,
and we talk about the filthy scurri-
lous press, but l could preach a
whole sermon on the everlasting
blessings of a good newspaper. a
good newspaper is the grandest tenn
poral blessing that God has given
the people of this century.
"In the first place all the people
read the newspapers, and the news
papers furnish the greater proper
ton of the reading to the people.
They don't read books. The old
people look for deaths, the young
look for the marriages, the business
men reads the business and financial
columns, and those who are uncm-
ploycd read the want "ads." Great
libraries make few intelligent men and
women, but newspapers lift the ma
tions into sunlight.
My idea Of good newspaper is
a mirror of life itself. Some pco-
pie complain because the evil of the
world is reported as well as the
good. The evil must be reported as
well as the good, or how will we
know what to guard against or what
to reform? There is chance for
discrimination as to how much space
shall be given to reports of such
things as prize fights, but the news
paper that merely presents the fair
and the beautiful and the bright side
of life is misrepresentation. That
family is the best qualified for the
duties of life who have told to them
not only what good there is in the
world, but what evil there is in the
world, and is told to select the good
and reject the evil. Minneapolis

This Dose Takes the Coke.

"a Pineyille (KyD special to thc
st. Louis Rep,t6lic says: Hanging
in a barn in Old Piaoyillc, three
miles from here, is the most marvel
Gus freak Of nature ever heard of or
seen. It's existence, however, is
vouohed for by Messrs. James =.
Whallen and Joseph I.eahy, of
Louisville, who have just returned
from Old Pineville. 1t is well known
that when cucumbers are first cut
from the vino there is piece of the
vine which exudes or bleeds. A
prominent citizen of Old Pincyillc a
short time ago, named Jarard Glib
ION, cut his hand, and this juice got
into this cut and his hand COM
menced to intlame, and an eruption
similar to erysipelas made its ap-
pearancc and extended up his arm
nnd finally spread oyer his whole
body. Strange to say, there was no
pain attending these eruptions of
erysipelas, and he continued to
gather and pack his cucumbers and
prepare them for picking. TO the
great surprise of everybody these
little pimplcs assumed the appear
ancc and form of small cucumbcrs,
and continued to grow. Although
Gibson kept we'll and hearty, he was
compelled to stop work and take to
his bed. The doctors and quacks
from around here visited him. Ono
rrcsc::boa oha thing and one another.
One wished to bleed him; one
wanted to cut the cucumbcrs off;
another said not to let him have any
water and they would dry up; another
said stick hole in each cucum-
bcr and they would die and mcw
skin would form; another wished to
wrap him up in mammoth poultice
of barnyard manure and draw them
all to one head; another said they
ought to be scattered. All the doe
tors had a different remedy, but all
disagreed, SO there was some hope
that the patient would get we'll.
But the small cucumbcrs grew into
big ones, and his whole body was
covered with them from head to
foot, and they commenced to ripcn
and turn yellow and hang down, and
the man Locked Ike 4 huge bunch of
bananas. When they got ripe they
began to shrivel up and die, and so
did the man. His sap was all gone
and he died. The doctors procured
the consent of his widow to permit
an autopsy to be made for the bene-
fit of science, and they cut him open,
and to their amazcment found no
blood, no muscles, no sincws, no ar
teries, but found only one solid mass
of cucumber seeds. 1t was SO re-
markablc it would be useless to have
the remains inferred, and foolish to
have them crematod, and the widow
concluded to keep them in the house
