Price OF Health.

To judge by letters received from
correspondents, the average person
does not really want to be cured, lie
only wants relief, which is quite a diff
ferent thing Or, at least, if he does
want to be cured. he is seldom willing
to pay the price-not in money, that
is tritling, but the price in patience
and perseverance and self-control.-

last IL years no county west of the
Missouri river has gone democratic.
and during the same period only three
counties at the most of the So counties
of the state have gone demt cratic. He
expressed his intention of remaining in

Mr.. Martin in the course of his re.
marks predicted that If the candidate

and the election will pass over to the
10 ise of Representatives to be decid-
ed before March A next, and in case
no choice Is reached in the House and
