There Were Seven, So She Said.

There Were Seven, So She Said.
One of the enumerators who lately
took the census at Rich Hill, Missouri,
met with a singular experience in his
rounds. At little shanty near the
smelters the aforesaid enumerator quiet
ly entered the residence and stated that
he had come to take the census.
''Phawt's THAR" asked the woman.
The official explained in lucid man.
ner his intricate duties.
Eye wants to know the old man 3
name and the children"
''Yes, madam"
'The old mans name is Dinnis Nc.
Ginty. and he works in the smelters, SO
he does, said the woman.
"How many children are there?"
''Sure, there arc seven; blessed be the
name of the Virgin"
The enumerator succeeded in getting
the names of the husband and wife and
six of the children, and enquired the
name and age Of the seventh child.
It's sucker from Butler ye are, not to
see that the sivinth will not be born till
next week, F" hotly exclaimed the woman.
Without further words the official fed
for high land, and no swears he will
never again ask to take the census. =

and within easy reach of the latter.
The mining Companies have unbounded
faith in the future prosperity of this
section, and are preparing to work their
extensive group of mines in first class
shape. The question Of ore supply and
fiuxing materials was solved long ago
leaving the matter of fuel and general
supplies to be overcome. The railroad
will assist in this. We understand that
present plans look to the erection of sew.
eral smelling stacks about midway
between town and the flat, easily access
IDLE from all quarters and to which the
railroad will be extended by the Mining
Cos themselves if necessary. These i'm.
provements cannot occur too soon to
suit us though they will probably not be
entered upon until the completion Of the
railroad.

The Beauty of Health.

How many women with regular features that might be beautiful. are not. and in stead of awakening our admiration only arouse our pity. Their hollow syes and sunken cheeks and sallow skin haunt our memory. Alas. all invalid wife or mother or sister fills the house with gloom and sad ness. and an otherwise happy hrcside Is shadowed with . pail of regret. Blessed be the physician who kas invented reme- dy with power to strengthen tho female or ganixation, that regulates the delicate functions of feminine life. that relieves those beaiing- down pains, that renews the appetite. that pcrfects digestion. that bright ems the eyes and bcautihes the complexion with the glow of health. Such remedy is Dr Bnirs SarsaparIila. IL Is woman's best friend for counteracting the evils that af!iict her sex. Thousands of ladies owe their beauty to nsc of this incomparable alternative.

 Tho sun of prosperity, tine luna of hope, and all the stxrs of pure patriot ism have ceased to shine in the house holds of western farmers. The ccasing of the shining of this trio of sources of the light of contentment and happiness leaves q somberness over the country through which the western people must grope with no certain degree of useful acquisition in any of the avenues of human industry. That . hugh, inky mass of darkness overspreads tho West, Is not tho worst feature, nor the only cause which sinks miserable poverty into the noble souls nf those upfortu- nate agricultural people. Every aisle of their desire for future usefulness and prosperity ls thickly overhung with the willow-umbrago of indigence and despair. Tho terror of the situation is, that the oppressivcness of the times Is not confined to the Western farmer alone. but is spreading eilnui. and star vstion from centre to circumference of the country. Tho recent speech of Senator Voorhees,, in the senate, was an able elucidation of the present de- structive policy of the Republican party, showing the legislative and exec utive powers of the government, under republican administration, have been used in every conceivable manner to add to tho coffers of the petted few, and deplcte the purses of the ostracised many. His speech proves beyond dis pute that the tendency of the admins tration-psrty is to the formation of an aristocrstic plutocracy, and that the present agricultural distress of this entire country is tracabls to the destruc- tion of markets for farm products by their unheard of policy of commercial narrowness. We arc grateful to God that while this damnable policy of high protection injures the entire country, more or less, the South has such ilimit- able resources and superior advantages 1t will be the last section of the country to gasp and give up the ghost, and is to-day suffering, from this cause of evil, less than any other portion of the union.

Tmr president of the Farmers Ali

TnE president of the Farmers Alli- mnce of the State of Kansas has atl- dressed . letter to their senators and representatives in congress, asking in tho name of the farmers of his state. what. if anything, they can do to TO lieye them of the distresses resulting from the depressed condition of agri- culture. The entire delegation are one in offering nouSht but pensions as . means Of relief. They all tell their farming constituency they csn do noth- ing, ut present, for relief but increase the pensions. They say there are iOo.- OO0 pensioners in the state, and wc will increase the pension rates. and put moro money in circulxtion. If that don't relieve the Kansas people they will have to wait, like Micawber, till something turns up, to bring them re- lief. Nothing k remoter from the Kansas congressman's mind than re- ducing the tariff, and giving the Kan sas farmer chance to compete in the markets of the world. It is nothing to them if the farmers of their state do have to sell in the cheapest market. and buy in the dearest !; they are too busily engaged looking after the interests of trusts, combines, and monopolies. They are so wrapped up in the affairs of their wealthy friends of the East, they can not consider the fact that the Kansas farmer produces no lumber. and there fore, pays an enormous tax on all tho lumber he uses and, besides. the Kan gas farmer pays an immense duty on every thing he uses, aud that these enormous taxes go right into the pockets of Eastern capitalists. Right in the face of all this the Kansas solons be- lieve they can move serenely along humbugging the farmer; depending upon driving him back into the party. if he kicks out. by shouting the same old outraged negro wall. if the Kan sas farmer can't get relief in h.s own state, let him come South where tariff, Ingalls,. and nought else. can preclude the agriculturists from being prosper ous, and having the means to purch ase anything they wish.

We all think ourselves mighty smart in this enlightened day. but people use to know much that we do not know, and do much that we cannot do.

He also made gold chain of forty three links which he fastened to the lock and key.
