English, Scotch, and Continental farm
ing. 1t is an able paper, and carries
an air of solidity, strength and fullness.
The Ohio Farmer has eight pages on
agriculture, four to five for the home,
one page for the Grange, one educa-
tional, social, ETC., twelve TO fourteen
illustrations, one page commercial.
While most of the writers live in Ohio,
Pennsylvania, or further west, there is
much in it which is helpful to farmers
in this state, as the columns of the
WATCHMAN bear witness. w. l Cham
berlain writes weekly articles and does
much editorial work. His articles are
very helpful, being mainly records of
actual experience. 1t has the usual
departments and shows signs of steady
Improvement. Its young folks depart
ment is very entertaining.
The New England Homestead has
seven to nine pages on agriculture,
three or four news, including letters
from its regular correspondents, of
which it has one in nearly every town
in New England. There is also Grange
news, four or more pages on CONNER
cial agriculture, six for the house, and
about fifteen TOT twenty illustrations.

The world wants to be convinced.
What people want is proof that a
medicine will cure; then they will use
it gladly.
Someone you believe in, prominent
person who YOU know will tell the ex
act truth and who has seen Il wonder
full effect AM observed the remarkable
cures wrought by the remedy he
recommends, is what you want, and
when such testimony is given, you will
not hesitate an instant to follow his
advice, obtain the remedy and thus be
speedily cured.
When, therefore, the Hon Judge Will
lard s. Martin, of Plainfeld, Vt, Asso.
ciate Judge of the County Court, SEN
ator from Washington County, and Di-
rector of the Barre National Bank, a

you that he has repeatedly used it in
his own family with the greatest ben

cured many people in his locality and
elsewhere, you can certainly have the
utmost confidence in the wonderful
curative powers of this grand medicine
and take it yourself if you are sick, all
ing or out of order, with absolute as
surance of beneficial results.

Nervura blood and nerve remedy with
quite satisfactory results.
We are glad of this opportunity to
recommend Dr. Greene's Nervura for

fish this letter for the good of Others"
No greater proof that medicine will

these words of an honored Judge and
distinguished Senator. Take DR..

OF "a Temple Place, Boston, Mass, is
the most successful specialist in curing
nervous and chronic diseases, and can

AGRICULTURAL,
HOnOrlng the Farmer.

One result of the campaign has been
the increased interest taken in the con-
dition of the farmars. There is some
evidence, at least, to show that the
American farmer is likely to receive
more attention from the lawmakers
and from business men the country
over than he has in the past. About a
month ago E. S. Martin said in his de-.
partment, "This Busy World" in Har-
per'S Weekly that:
The records OF the rise in wheat make
pleasant reading. High wheat makes high
-four, and that makes dear bread, but no
one seems to be thinking of that. The all
but universal sentiment is satisfaction in
any legitimate condition of the markets that
will help the farmers. The farmer is on the
mind of theAmerlcan public to an oppres-
sive degree. We all want him to make
money, the only condition being that it
shall be honest money Dollar wheat
would be immensely popular in the United
States, and every skip that breadstuffs
with smiles and disposition to cheer.
Only the silver men are solemn. No
doubt they are brooding over the inscruta-
bility OF the ways of Providence"
Then, the programme of Senator
Sherman includes protecting the in
terests of the farmers" That is Just
what congress and every state legisla-
ture ought TO do. The free traders OBJ
ject to protecting the wealthy manufac-
turers, but they can make no similar OBJ
lection to protecting the farmers. 1t
is urged against protecting manufac-
turers that they will not pay their work
men any more, that The wealthy get
the money. But all classes are learn
ing that the prosperity of the farmer is
the foundation of the prosperity of
nearly all
We do not see how any free trader
can, with any show of reason, object to
placing a tariff on farm products. Take
hay for instance. The Mckinley duty
was S4, the present rate is 49, If the
old duty is restored,or even exceeded it
would be direct benefit to the farmers.
But it would for time probably make
hay higher to the cities and villages.
Now the question comes right home to
this class of people here in Vermont.
Which would you choose, TO have the
farmer protected, and you pay more for
hay, or have the present low rate?
Whatever uncertainty there may be in
other parts of the tariff, there ought to
be none concerning the agricultural
schedule. Certainly one way to honor
the American farmer is to protect him
from foreign competition. We have no
faith in the Lubin export bounty plan,
and hope that the National Grange will
waste no more time upon it. They had
far better be looking out for good
secretary of agriculture, and planning
to help on free delivery of mails in the
country districts. And they should
firmly insist on protection for farmers.

Grit for Fowls.

Some farmers find it difficult to pro
vide hens with sand. Make a mortar
from coarse sand or gravel and put into
barrels. In the winter put one of these
in the henhouse, and cut out some al
the slaves. The hens will soon be
busy. 1t will help to keep their bills
short and They will not be so apt "a
pick their eggs open and eat them. F,

FARMERS AND VILLAGERS

With the close of the presidential
campaign, THE TRIBUNE recog-
nizes the fact that the American peo-
pie are now anxious to give their at
tention to home and business interests.
To meet this condition politics will
have far less space and prominence,
until another State or National oc-
casion demands renewal of the fight
for the principles for which THE
TRIBUNE has llabored from its incep-
ton to .the present day, and won its
greatest victories.

BRAIN WORK AND VITALITY.
Mental Exercise Is Said to Be Conducive to
Longevity.

Mental Exercise Is Said to Be Conducive to
Longevity.
As factor in longevity the London
Speaker calls attention to the fact that
those people who have been accustomed
to the continued disciplinary use of
their brains daily and who have placed
their nerve power under highly-de-
veloped constitutional training are en-
abled by these very means to escape
the so-called early decay and to avoid
those alarming accidents to health
from which SO many apparently healthy
men succumb. People who use their
brains and observe ordinary hygienic
care Of their bodies resist diseases in
the first place; and when they are
actually i'll they prolong their lives or
reCuperate sooner than do those who
have lived less intellectual lives. Thus
there is given a new force to the asser-
tion that you may kill a man with
anxiety very quickly, bus it is difficult
to kill him with work.
Whether the brain can actually give
power to the muscles is not certain,
though the enormous strength some
times developed in a last rally looks
very much like it. That it can material
ly affect vitality is quite certain, and
has been acknowledged by the expert
enced in all ages.

the Inauguration.
Noah Brooks tells the following story
in his personal "reminiscences of Lincoln
in the Century:
"Al, eyes were turned to the main
entrance, where, precisely on the stroke
of twelve, appeared Andrew johnson,
vice president elect, arm in arm with
Hannibal Hamlin, whose term Of office
was now expiring. They took seats to-
gether on the dais Of the presiding Off
Ger, and IIamlin made brief and sens
ible speech, and Andrew Johnson,
whose face was extraordinarily red,
was presented to take the oath. II is
needless to say here that the unfortu-
nate gentleman, who had been very i'll,
was not altogether sober at this i'm
portant moment of his life. In order
to strengthen himself for the physical
and mental ordeal through which he
was about to pass he had taken o stiff
drink of whisky in the room of the vice
president, and the warmth of the sem
ate chamber, with possibly other phys
ical conditions, had sent the fiery liquor
to his brain. He was evidently intoxi1

AS he went on with his speech he
turned upon the cabinet officers and
addressed them as "Mr. Stanton"
Mr. Seward, ETC., without the officicl
handles to their names Forgetting
Mr.. Welles' name, he said, "and you,
'Mr. -" Then leaning over to Col.
Forney, he said: What is the name OF
the secretary of the navy?p and then
continued as though nothing had hap
pened. Once in awhile, from the re-
porters' gallery, could observe Ham
lin nudging johnson from behind, re-,
minding him that the hour for the in
auguration ceremony had passed. The.
speaker kept on, although President.
Lincoln sat before him, patiently watt.
ing for his extraordinary harangue to,

The study Of the faces below was in-
teresting. Seward was as bland and
serene as a summer day; Stanton
appeared to be petrifed; Welles' face
was usually void of any expressions;
Speed sat with his eyes closed; Denni-
son was red and white by turns. Among
the union senators Henry Wilson's face
was flushed; Sumner wore saturnine
and sarcastic smile, and most of the
others turned and twisted in their sem
atorial chairs as if in long drawn agony.
Of the supreme bench, Judge Nelson
only was apparently moved, his lower
jaw being dropped clean down in blank
horror. Chase was marble, adamant,
granite in immobility until johnson
turned his back upon the senate to
take the oath, when he exchanged
glances with Nelson, who then closed
up his mouth.
When johnson had repeated inaudi-
| bly, the oath of Office, his hand upon
the book, he turned and took the Bible
in his hand, and facing the audience
said, with n loud theatrical voice and
gesture: 81 kiss this book in the face of

ANXIOUS TO ANNEX.
Promoters of "Greater Oakland" VIII
Push the Matter.

Push the Matter.
OAKLAND, CAL, Dec. pa meeting
of those who are anxious to annex the
territory between Oakland and Berkeley
will be held next week TO take preliminary
steps necessary to submit the matter to
popular vote.
The lines as now proposed are TO begin
at a point on the northern boundary of
the city of Oakland, $50 feet east of the
east line of Broadway and running thence
northerly to a point 100 feet east of the
east line of intersecting line of College
avenue and thence northwesterly $50 feet
distant from College avenue to the south
line of the town of Berkeley, thence along
such line and the Emeryvilie line 10 the
north line of the cily Of Oakland, thence to
the point CT beginning.
1t is estimated that this territory in
cludes population of about 1000 souls. 1t
has three separate schools and a sanitary
district. The Peralta school with three,
the Temescal school with eight and the
Bay School with eight departments gives
some idea of the population which would
be ado TO the Second Ward if the propo-
sitlon prevails. Under the city charter
there can be no redistricting of the wards
before 1900.
