WASHINGTON, May 9.-The answer of
Lord Salisbury to Secretary Blaine's
proposal for Il closed season in Behr-

but suggests certain conditions which
our government is not yet willing to
accept. What these conditions are will
be made known at the first meeting Of

ChiIIs and Fever, Malaria and Ague

In regular malarious localities there
is enough Of the poison called malaria
generated to produce in all who are
not acclimated regular chills and
fever. Pe-ru-na, in large doses, will
break the chflls every time. In other
localities there is just enough mala-
rial poison to make many people feel
indescribably bad without producing
regular chiIls. There will be slight,
irregular. chilly sensations, with
flashes of heat and cold, cIammy per-
spiration. aching bones and muscles,
bad breath and stomach, periodical
headache or neuralgia, nervousness,
sleepIessness, stupOr and weakness.
For this condition Pe-ru-na is a
prompt and positive cure. 1t rids the
system of the poison, builds up the
tagging powers, and brings back APP
petite and sleep. n few weeks use
Of the wonderful anti-malarial rem

From this table, which is taken
from Bulletin No l3, of the Texas ex-
perimental station, it appears that
the amount Of nitrogen taken from the
soil is nearly the same in all three
crops, but that the phospheric acid in
sorghum is largely in excess, while
the potash is from four to five times
greater.
Those farmers whose lands are not
perceptibly impoverished by the Gull

With commendable electioneering zeal
our parishioner Mr.. j. M. Fletcher writes
letter to the Comrade, published in our
neighboring parish, and makes number
of broad and unfounded assertions about
''moss backs being "healed for the oc-
casion," having procured the services of
the Hon. Bob Hunter for the occasion"
who was "sent away with flea in his
ear" Also. BRO. Goodwin crawled into
his she'll" and was not present to hear
himself compared by Prof. Traylor to the
rhinoceros, which "has thick skin and
a short memory" All this in relation to
lecture delivered in Colfax two weeks
since by the professor, and at which Mr.
Hunter happened by the merest accident
to be present, and put in dignified dis
claimer to the ISLANDERS of Democracy, and
the un-American ideas advanced by the
professor. AS for crawling into our shell,
that falls very fiat in community that
knows we never crawfish unless convinced
OF an error; and no one evenly balanced
in mind ever expects Mr.. F. to establish
anything by reason or argument. however
apt he may be at uncouth and caviling
abuse. He came nearer the mark than
he aimed in this instance, however, as we
were very busy about our new dwelling
house, and could not conveniently attend
the lecture in question = in other words
we were at work making shell to crawl
into. Now, in the way of pleasantly or
badinage, it matters little what sort ofan
animal or bivalve our friends see fit to
liken us, SO long as they go wild over ex-
ploded anarchical and harmful political
ideas, they will find that we are neither
dumb nor thin-skinned when it comes to
laying bare their self-interested deceit
fulness and insincerity.
