'" August
 Flower"

Mrs. Sarah NJ. Black of Seneca,
 Mo, during the past two years has been affected with Neuralgia of the Head, Stomach and Womb, and writes: My food did not seem to strengthen me at all and my appe- tite was very variable My face was yellow, my head dull, and had such pains in my left side. In the morning when I got up I would have flow of mucus in the mouth,
 and bad, bitter taste. Sometimes my breath became short, and l had such queer, tumbling, palpitating sensations around the heart. ached all day under the shoulder blades,
 in the left side, and down the back of my limbs. Ii seemed to be worse in the wet, cold weather of Winter and Spring; and whenever the spells anne on, my feet and hands would
 urn cold, and I could get no sleep at all I tried everywhere, and got no relief before using August Flower Then the change came. It has done me wonderful deal of good during the time I have taken if and is work ing a complete cure. @ c. c. GREEN, Sole Aan'fr, WoOdbHry, J.

 had a meal on Mir. Depew's road the other day which cost me a dollar, says q writer in the Detroit Free Press gave a quarter to the colored waiter who brought me the dollars worth, and he looked at it as though he had never seen such a small coin before and won dered what It was used for. He little suspected that usually had my midday meal for a quarter in Detroit. Now, Mir. Depew, let me tell you what hap pened to me a few weeks ago on one of the desPised government lines in Europe. l took the morning train from Basel or Basic in Switzerland to May ence in Germany the train belonging to the Baden states. The conductor came along. and, after taking my ticket. gave me a slip of paper on which was printed in four languages the following information: was to tell the conductor whether at a certain point wanted dinner. and if so how many of them. The dinner, the paper went on to say consisted of two kinds of meat, roast chicken, three kinds of vegetables, bread, butter, cheese, Pud- ding and a half bottle of either white or red wine. The cost of this would be slightly over fifty cents, and all this in a country where provisions are very much dearer than they are in America There were two of us, and We ordered two dinners. The conductor pasted the firuTe two" on the window of the com 2artment.
 When we came to the place where the dinners were to be had walters came rushing along the platform with the dinners on wooden trays, which the paper aforementioned said would serve an excellent table for two people by merely sitting opposite each other and placing the board upon their knees. Exceedingly clean table linen accom- panied the spread The walters at tended only to those who had the mum. bers on their windows. and into each compartment they put the number of dinners indicated on the window.
 The trouble with American railways is that they seem to look on a traveller as merely victim to be heeced. 4 man without a long purse has to put up with mighty poor accommodations. The only exception that I know of is the Canadian Pacific, where in ordinary cars they bring around very good coffee and fresh sandwich al extremely reasonable rates. This is kink that might be followed with advantage on American roads.

worth More Than Cold.

The phrase worth it's weight in gold" no longer expresses the idea which it was intended to convey. For there are at least twenty substances worth more than gold. BeryIiuIn, for instance, is worth abOut ten times its weight in pure gold. and venadium is five times as costly as the precious metal. Iridium, also, Is more than twice as costly as gold. The text boolls used to say that platinum was the only metal more valuable than gold, but 1t now costs about the same.

had heard it was then the fashion to chip
away fragments of the stone, which.
having been set as brooches and bracelets,
were worn by ladies who posed as sentI-

The so called tomb was a deception and
snare.
Therefore, when the guide rolled out
his hackneyed sentences about this being
the last resting place of the noble lady
Juliet, frankly told him had no faith

during which he looked at me with an
expression Of horror and amazement, as
If his ears had been profaned. But,
quickly recovering himself, he replied:
"Signor, what I say is a fact, assure
you; the lady was placed after death in
this very tomb"
How do you know ?" I asked.

threw up his har6s in protest, and ele-

head, and he remained silent, until sud-

and sa7v thata new idea had dawned
ON him. "Signor," he said gravely

lady and her lover, and gave her the

THE THIRD Party MoyEMrNT.


The remarkable development of the
third party movement was the most in
teresting feature OF the doings at Ocala.
At the outset it was the intention of the
third party advocates to make a hot fight
on the floor Of the convention for the
adoption of an independent political pol
icy by the Alliance itself. The opposi-
ton to this course, even by men who SYM
pathized with them in the new move.
ment, led to its abandonment. One 20.
tent argument that influenced this decis-
ion was to the effect that if third party
should be organized under the direct
auspices Of the Alliance, and should meet
defeat, the disaster might involve the
whole organization in ruin. If, however,
the movement should be undertaken
nominally under other auspices, but with
the full support of the Alliance, its fail
ure might not drag down the latter order.
The instrument was right at hand
which the situation demanded. A new
organization, about which eastern people
had heard little, had been spreading like
wildfire in the west during the fall. 1t
is the Citizens Alliance. Its member
ship is less restricted, and its objects are
much the same as those of the Farmers
League, which has begun to take an act
i've part in politics in the New England
states. 1t is merely political combina-
tion, based upon the platform of the
Farmers Alliance. Any man in an hon
est occupation can join the Citizens Alli-
ance by pledging his support to that plat
form. The order started in Kansas, and
already it has a big membership in that
and other states.
The declaration of principles sets forth
that the organization is formed for the
purpose of cooperating with the Farm
ers' Alliance, the Knights of Labor and
other orders in the support of the St.
Louis platform, "and to this end the Or
ganization is political in its nature.
Charters are furnished to subordinate
bodies on application of five or more citi-
zens. Each local Alliance will be the
judge of the qualifications of its mem
bers, and each member must pledge him
self to support the st. Louis agreement
and not to vote for any person or party
which does not indorse the same. Joint
conventions in cities, towns, counties
and states shall be held with representa-
tives of the Farmers Alliance and the
Knights of Labor. Local branches are
forbidden to make any coalition with
either of the old parties in any state or
local campaign. 1t is declared that the
present national organization is tempo
rary, and that as soon as the order is or
ganized in a majority of the states a
national convention shall be held to re-
wise it.
The Citizens Alliance will be prom
inent factor in the third party movement.
Somewhat hasty action was taken by the
independents in deciding to summon a
third party national convention to meet
in Cincinnati in February. This con-
fiicted with the plans of the Alliance
leaders and with those of the knights Of
Labor officers. The knights Of Labor, at

Fertilizing Grass Lands.

The question for consideration is what
is the best fertilizer to maintain and inn
prove the yield of grass for hay. From
experiments made last year in Wales,
England, and in New York state, at the
experiment station. we find analogous
results. Nitrate of soda applied in mod.
crate quantity, say 200 to 300 pounds per
acre, gave the best results, being closely
followed by sulphate of ammonia. Both
these produced a sufficiently increased
yield to pay the cost and give substan-
tial profit. In Wales the nitrate of soda
increased the yield one ton per acre. In
the use of these highly nitrogenous fer
tilizers, says Southern Planter, it, how
ever, must be borne in mind that they
act largely as stimulants, and therefore
solid permanent feeders.

The Dantb tn PIo,v

The prevailing opinion among farmers
at the present day, says Rural Home,
seems to be that land should be plowed
deep or shallow according to the depth
or nature of the soil. A deep, rich soil
may, and probably will, raise better
crop by plowing deep, and thin soil
with but little vegetable matter inter-
mixed by plowing shallow. Nothing
has been more surely established than
the impropriety of turning the top of a
thin soil to the bottom of deep furrow,
and that unless there is given at the
same time or soon after it is done good
top dressing of manure there will be a
positive damage to the land and several
succeeding crops.

Y, CECIL COUNTY, Md, FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1891. NO. 49,

does consume corn and wheat. The de.
sign, furthermore, is not to protect the
farmers, but to provide basis for issu-
ing money to the people. Colonel Liv-
ingston, of Georgia, believed the bill
should be applicable to all merchantable
products, and he was sure that that pro-
vision would please everybody. The
amendment was lost by viva voce vote.
Colonel Livingston objected to the
loan of money by the government upon
land. A currency based upon real estate
loans, he said, could not be made flexible
in volume. Corn and pig iron come and
go, land does not. What is wanted is
currency which VIII fuctuate with sup
ply and demand. A currency based
upon any other principle is false one.
If land is made the basis of government
loans there would soon be presented in
this country the same picture which is
universal in Ireland.
President Polk remarked that the pas
sage of law authorizing government
loans on land would lead mortgages to
foreclose their mortgages.
Colonel Casskaden, Of West Virginia,
didn't see the results which the friends
of the plan were prophesying. The con-
servative element of the country, he
said, was today in abject fear of viola
ton of the fundamental financial princi-
Piles which was threatened by this bill,
and the government had no right to take
the value from mans property, unless
he was in fault, in order to make up for
the misfortunes of others. If the value
of currency be reduced until it is worth
only few per cent. of its present value
all the property in the country would
sink to one level, and that was what
would happen under the operations, of
this bill.
The convention finally adopted the
platform as given by an overwhelming
majority. In a supplementary vote the
delegates indorsed the sub-treasury bill
in the shape in which it is now pending
before congress.
The remaining business of the conven-
ton, as far as it relates to public affairs,
may be briefly summarized. The ALI
ance passed resolution calling for the
establishment of postal savings banks.
The Conger lard bill was condemned
and the Paddock pure food bill was in
dorsed. The convention adopted the
recommendation of President Polk, and
created a legislative council to consist of
the presidents of the various state ALI.
ances, with the national president as
chairman ex-officio.
The convention voted to memorabilia
congress to pass such laws as may be
necessary to effectually suppress lot
teries. 1t was also voted to petition the
Worlds fair commission mot to des-
ecrate the American Sabbath by opening
the Columbian exposition on the first
day of the week"
Finally the Alliance reelected its old
board Of officers with but few excep-
tions. The list is now as follows:
President, L. L. Polk, of North Caro-
lima.
Vice president, Benjamin F. Glover, of
Kansas.
Secretary, ]. H. Turner, of Georgia.
National lecturer, j. S. Willetts, of
