DAIN in the right side, under the
L edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top Of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
titc and sickness; the bowels in gen
eral are costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally a considerable loss Of men,
DRY, accompanied with a painful SEN
sation Of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
a slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
weariness and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him., yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

sown with wheat, and though the farmer
did not SOW quart of clover seed, he
has as good "catch" as any one could
wish. Enough seed was wasted to seed
the ground, and, as the field was only
lightly cultivated in the spring for bar
lev, the seed was never turned up until
plowed for wheat, [ do not advise
trusting to such chance seeding as this.
Better SOW the field as usual, and let the
volunteer clover come in as extra to give
the soil closer mat and heavier growth.
The farmer who sows clover seed for a
few years will find it profitable far be-
yond the money value of the seed which
he sells.-Cor. Ame, icon Cuhiuator.

Itis we'll known fact that the mulch
ing of land will induce the growth OF
roots to the surface. So when the soil is
covered with a fiat stone, or where


arge boulder occurs at the surface, it
will induce the formation of network
of roots about itself when embedded in
the soil. So again, when wide plank is
laid on the ground and remains, it will
be found reticulated with roots on its
under part, and even extending into the
pores Of the wood. This is occasioned by
two causes combined the collection Of
nitrogenous matter there, in connection
with moisture, which is always conserved
in such situations. It has been att1ib-
uted to the collection of nitrogen there,
alone, but incorrectly, since with
out moisture, this would be entirely
unavailable to the roots. If this mulch
or other covering be removed, these
surface feeding roots Immediately die,
and others are formed in lower strata OF
soil where moisture is present. Hence,
mulch once given, it should be continued
to the end of the season at least.

Some years ago everybody ate of the
fried potatoes prepared in some of the
hotels at Saratoga, but more especially
at the Lake House at Saratoga Lake,
where they were prepared in perfection.
On one occasion, being there with a
friend, lady and gentleman made their
appearance on the piazza, where little
tables are placed, at which many persons
were sucking their cobblers and eating
those pretty curled up potatoes. The
party was evidently English, and stylish
society people. The lady stopped at our
table, and partially STOPPING down to see
what in the world we could be eating,
when we quietly blurted out "potatoes!"
She laughed and passed on, but in few
minutes they were trying the article
themselves, much to their apparent sat-
isfaction. Now, however, we have pota-
toes cooked just as artistically and tooth
some as at Saratoga Lake. The way it is
done is no longer secret, and is as fol-
lows: The tools are common cabbage
cutter, two wire sieves and "spider."
Take, say eight large potatoes, pare them
and slice very thin with the cutter, stir
into it one teaspoonful of salt to quart,
and let them remain half an hourin that.
Pour them into the sieve to drain, and
when we'll drained, wipe the slices dry;
put pound of lard into the spider, and
when it becomes smoking hot put in the
potatoes. They must be constantly
stirred to prevent the pieces from adher-
ing to one another, and until they are
sufficiently Drowned to make your mouth
water, when they should be served at
once.

A mistake is in letting calves remain
out so late, oftentimes until the first
snow comes, with no protection save the
trees and fences. The farmer who thought
fully cares for his animals and for his
farm is one to be honored and respected,
but the one who is always running to the
store for bag Of meal, as SOME do, and
to his neighbors for a bushel Of potatoes,
remarking that the season has been very
bad ono and that his crops were awful
light, whose cattle stand in the cold halt
starved, deserves to be kicked out OF town,
and is disgrace to his Maker. Il our
farmers would only look at farming as a
merchant does to his business and a lawyer
to his, we should soon pass over all o.
these errors and be continually studying
how to do better.

midnight are heavier than at any other
hour of the twenty -four; and when the
new moon occurs at midnight this in
crease Of weig ght or gravity felt by mat
ter on this part of the surface of the
earth is still greater. Now, if this theory
were correct, attraction would produce
just the opposite effect; that is, matter
would weigh less at midnight than at any
other hour Of the twenty-four. On the
side of the earth facing the sun and

isbed as it should be.

Ont of the silences make me song,
Beautiful, sad and soft and low;
Let the loneliest music sound along
And wing each note with wall o. woe,


Dim and drear


As hopes last tear.
Out of the silences make ME hymn,
Whose sounds are shadows soft and dim.
Out of the stiffness in your heart
thousand songs are sleeping there
Make me but one, thou child OF art,
The song of hope in a last despair,


Dark and low,


A chant of woe,
Out OF the stiffness, tone by tone,
Soft as a snowflake, wild as moan.
Out Of the darkness flesh me a song,
Brightly dark and darkly bright;
Let it sweep as a lone star sweeps along
The mystical shadows OF the night,


Sing it sweet.
Where nothing is dear, or dark, or dim.
And earth-songs melt Into Heavens hymns.

The practice of breeding to relatives
is as old as the origin of the thorough
bred race-herse, says Observer" in
the Michigan Farmer. The foundation
of that breed was from close connection
between intimate relations. In the early
history OF breeding in England, the
Arabian, Barb and Turk were scarce, and
they were bred together in every con-
ceivable shape to produce the thorough>
bred, breed that is valued high, because
no other blood than the oriental strains
of the desert has been suffered to
pollute their pedigree. This mode OF
breeding produced such distinguished
horses as Flying Childers, King Herod,
Mambrino and Eclipse; all great horses
are connected through kindred strains OF
blood. It is the saving clause in the
pedigree to be able to trace back through
relations to some great champion of the
turf. The vaitrue off { the the breeding is meas
ured by the heroes and heroines contained
in the generalogy of the parents. Here
ditary law is the foundation of success
in breeding. In founding a family OF
trotters we should follow the example OF
those who established the runner. The
same cause produces similar effects. Ex'
perience is the best teacher. The past
will prove guide to the future. The
history of the breeding will test the
merits of in-breeding and out-breeding


If we find that close-breeding has pro
duced the most valuable stock, it IL
worth while to continue the system til


some change has modified results.

The late Ben. Wade is reported to have

Demanding, what others have died to win,
With the reckless dash of a boy?

Manlike, have You questioned me?
Now stand at the bar of my vcman's soul,


Until shall question: thee.

Your socks and your shirts be whole

And pure as heaven your soul

shirts,

A King for that beautiful realm called home.


And man that the Maker, God,
Shall look upon rs He did on the first


And say, at is very good"

From my soft young cheeks one day
Will you love me then, mid The falling leaves.
As you did in The bloom Of may?
Is your heart an ocean so strong and deep

A loving woman finds heaven or hell

If you'd give all hi, would stake my life
To he all you demand of me-

Theu go to your hovel-no raven has fed
The wlfc who has suffered so long for her bread;
Kneel down by her pallet and kiss the death

From the lips of the angel your poverty lost
Then turn III your agony upward to God,
And bless while it smites you the Christening

And you'll find at the end of your lifes little

There's welcome above for the moneyIess

to load his gun, but the party alluded to
was going elsewhere on business and did
not wait to interfere. Had he been going
for that purpose, the simple loading and
display of gun would not have deferred
him. Now here is a case that wants look
ing after. Who are the proper authorities
to deal with this matter. II the aforesaid
woman's lord and master, and other rela-
tives, do not see fit to interfere, who is the
proper authority to do so. Parties In that
neighborhOod don't propose to have any
such proceedings, and intimate that they
will take the matter in their own hands,

At the late Republican State
Convention held at Springfield,
Illinois. there was not one Fed
eral officeholder in attendance as
a delegate, and not dozen Of
ticeholders of any description in
a convention of nearly 400 men,
bers. This is certainly hopeful
for the success of the policy Of
civil service reform, and strong
evidence of the beneficial effect
of the Presidents suggestion to
his officeholders to mind their
own business, and not to use
their official positions as the
motive power to party machine
ry. Another important step in
the reform Of party politics
would be the exclusion Of office
seekers from participation in
nominating conventions, or from
meddling with the primaries, the
inevitable tendency Of which is
to political corruption, and has
made of party politics ga filthy
pool" When party caucusses
are under the control of the pa
triotic and disinterested portion
Of the citizens, instead Of time
servers and selfseekers who use
party machinery to defeat in
stead Of to express the popular
will, then will party organiza-
tion subserve the legitimate and
useful purpose Of maintaining
proper checks and balances ne
cessary in apopular government
to restrain the natural tendency
to anarchy and the assertion Of
physical force; mob rule, the
most lnexorable form of arbitra-

In the Constitutional Conyen-
ton an article was introduced by
Mr.. Hannah and adopted by a
vote Of s to Z, as follows: "The
Legislature shall not have the
power to incorporate any bank
or banking company, or monied
institution whatever, nor shall
any bank company or institu-
Year: 1878

ton exist in the State, with the
privilege Of making, issuing or
putting IN circulation any bill,
check, certificate, promissory
note or other paper, or the pa
per Of any bank, company or
person to circulate as money"


Upon this the Mtelligencer vi
tuperates as follows: "It is not
to be wondered at that one might
be found servile enough to in
troduce such a cut-throat clause
in the interest CD of few Two
per cent. Shylocks, who have
already got this Territory fiat
on it's back, and are thirsting to
drain the last drop of its blood,
and then die themselves on the
inanimate corpse of their victim.
But the wonder is that eight out
of fifteen intelligent men would
vote to adopt such short sight
ed and unreasonable provision,
as it seems they did"


Our wonder is, that seven out
fifteen intelligent men should be
so far behind the intelligence of
the age, or so false to the rights
of the people, as to vote against
prohibiting the Legislature from
comforting special privileges up
on accumulated wealth to ag-
gregate itself by authorizing it
to put in circulation as money,
and draw interest upon, the ev-
idence of it's own Indebtedness,
or that any editor Of a newspa-
per could be found so ignorant
of the primary principles of po-
litical economy as to mistake
special protection for free trade.
The proposition introduced by
Mr.. Hannah and adopted by the
Conventions is a literal transcript
of clause in the constitution
first formed for Wisconsin more
than thirty years ago. We have
not the documents before US, but
we are under the impression
that the constitutions of both
California and Oregon contain a
like prohibitory clause against
charters to banks Of issue. If
not, they ought to. 1t is certain
that the Legislature Of neither
State ever Incorporated a bank
with the right to issue any form
Of paper to issue as money. Il


The Mtelhgencer, with strange
disregard for the logic of its po-
sition, further says: Men have
just as good 4 right under the
authority ola higher constitution
than that Of a State to incorpc-
rate together for purposes Of
banking as for any other legiti-
mate purpose" Most indubita-
bly,; and that they have done
and will continue)to do, without
let or hindranat, without any
special Legislation, and even in
States in which legislation is
prohibited. Without special le-
gislatlon bankers have the same
right to dispose of their wares
that merchants, manufacturers
and farmers have; to gi7e them
chartered privileges IN addition
to issue evidences of debt to cir
culate as money under legisla-
tive endorsement, has proved
disastrous to the people wherev-
er it has been tried, and is with
out a single argument to support
it on principle.
