Mexico VIII Have it.
From the Rural Worl

The Audrain County Agricul-
tural and Mechanical Association
held a meeting in Mexico on Satur-
day last, for the purpose of consid-
ering and discussing the question
of increasing the capital stock and
to purchase the land necessary for
the construction of new mile
track of the kite shape. The de-
STABILITY of such an enterprise was
fully considered, and SO far as the
opinions of the stockholders were
expressed, not word was said
against it. But whether sufficient
land adjacent to the present
grounds could be obtained for the
purpose, and if so, at what price,
had not been ascertained. The
officers of the association present
expressed a desire to have the
land which they contemplated pur-
chasing surveyed, and an option
obtained on it F.; then when all was
in readiness to call another meet
ing of the stockholders. Of 400
shares OF stock in the association
only 237 were represented, 1877 of
these voted for the improvement,
and as this only lacked fourteen of
a majority vote the ultimate sue
cess of the enterprise Is unques-
toned. 1t is quite sure that Mex
leo will not hold back at the start
or trail in the race, but will offer to
the ublic the first kite-shaped
track in Missouri.

There seems to be little going on
in musical circles of late, but there
is much talk, among musical people,
of the marvellous cure of Miss B,
the high contralto singer, who has
long suffered from a severe throat
or bronchial affection, superinduced
by Catarrh in the Head, and who
has been perfectly cured by the
use of DIR: Sage's Catarrh Remedy,
coupled with the use of DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. For
all bronchial, throat and lung affec-
tions, and lingering coughs, it is an
unequaled remedy. When compli-
Gated with Chronic Nasal Catarrh,
its use should be coupled with the
use of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.

Do Farmers Mean Business?
From the National Stockman.


A great many men are inclined
to ridicule the work in which
farmers are engaged, and to con.
slider it as of little consequence.
They have never yet been brought
face to face with a movement
among farmers which really had in
it the element of continued politi.
cal success. Nothing but positive
demonstration will ever get these
men to understand that farmers
can do what they claim so general
ly should be done in the way OF
purifying and remodeling politics.
We opine that one of these years
these same men will be met by a
rude awakening. Farmers dc
mean business, as is evinced
by their expressions everywhere,
and if they can only be held togeth'
er by some power sufficiently cohe
sive to overcome the general dis.
position of this class of people tc
live independently of each other,
the whole thing will be done.

Emin Pasha and the Rebellion
at the Equator.

The above is the title of new|
book just issued in London and
New York complete in one volume, :,
that will be read with great inter-
est throughout the civilized world.
Lieutenant neutrality-suspicious., j
the author, was one of Mr.. Stan
ley's officers in the Emin Pasha
Relief Expedition, and when Mr..
Stanley found it necessary to re-
turn through the Great Forest for
the missing and ill-fated rear col
unn of the expedition, he sent
Lieutenant Jephson with 20 men to
carry to Emin Pasha's followers
and troops in Equatoria, at the
stations which he had established
in the Province, the message of
relief, and to explain Stanley's
mission of rescue. He was there
when the Rebellion broke out and
both he and the Governor were
made prisoners while anarchy
reigned in the Province.
Mr.. Jephson's narrative of ex-
citing incidents is as thrilling as
his description of the character of
the people any soldiers is interest !
ing. His book is SO graphic and
detailed a picture of the Province.
of the native tribes, and of the
Egyptian Soldiery that held it,
| against the Mahdi's forces, that its
pages throw food OF light upon
the real nature of the probiem
which Sir Samuel Baker, Gordon
and lastly Emin have tried to|
solve. He weaves into his narra1
tive much interesting information
about the birds and wild animals
the surface and resources of the
country, habits and customs of the
natives, modes of warfare, etc. No
more interesting book on African
texploration and adventure has
lever been written. Mr.. Stanley
says of it: "There is within the
covers of your volume much mat.
ter that is quite new to me, much
that is extremely thrilling and ex'
citing, and the whole is related
with very enviable literary tact
and skill"
The book is sold only by sub

A Tribute to the Memory of the
Late George Howe.
BY EMILY VAIL.

Tear gemmed is bright honor's wreath
With which they sought to bind his brow,
And strong men bowed In silent grief,
That ruthless death should claim him now.
How trifiing seems the worlds renown!
And sadly sweet the joy it brings;
When the loved one stands with starry crown,
In the presence OF the King of Kings.
To him there is no mystery
In the great life beyond the tomb;
The shroud ing vail is drawn away
That hides from us the higher home.
Sorrowing souls in grief were rent
When the tired lheart its beating stopped,
From out the spacious armament
1t seemed to them star had dropped.
Sadly they'll seek his place of rest
And strive to say, "Gnd's will be done;'
They'll plant sweet flowers above his breast
And rear the monumental stone.
They feel glad assurance given
That on the bright immortal shore,
Clad in the glorious robes of heaven
They'll meet the loved one gone before.
