effect does it produce upon your general health?
Do you feel weak, debiitated easily tired
Does little extra exertion produce palpitation
of the heart? Do your liver or urinary organs
or your kidneys frequently get out Of order
Is your urine thick, milky sloppy, or is it
ropy on settling? Or does a thick scum rise to
the top? Or is a sediment at the bottom after it
has stood awhile? Do you have spells Of short
breathing or dyspepsia? Are your bowels con-

rushes of blood to the head? Is your memory
impaired? Is your mind constantly dwelling on
this subject? Do you feel dull, listless, mopng,
tired of company, of life? Do you wish to be
left alone, to get away from eyerybody2 Does
any little thing make you start or jump? Is
your sleep broken restless? Is the luster of
your eye as Brilliant The bloom on your cheek
as bright? Do you enjoy yourself in society as
well2 Do you pursue your business with the
same energy? Do you feel as much confidence
in yourself? Are your spirits dull and Tagging,
given to fits of melancholy? If so, do not lay
it to your liver or dyspepsia. Have you restless
nights? Your back weak, your knees weak, and
with but little appetite; and you attribute this
to dyspepsia or liver complaint?

The first game of regular series between

yesterday without interest and the general impress

From the Prairie Farmer.


After speaking of opposite results
with different individuals planting the
same variety of potatoes, Mr.. VIM. Cut
ter, Of Kansas, writing to the Prairae
Farmer, concludes that the kind of soil
has much to do with the quality of the
crop. He says:


"lt is an acknowledged fact that all
new countries raise good potatoes. I
have proved it in Illinois and in Kan
sas, and as the country becomes older
the potato seems to degenerate. The
tact is, new land is the best for potatoes
and the richest or most highly manur-
ed land is the poorest.
eff you want potatoes of the best
quality, use but little, if any, manure,
and if you want potatoes of the very
poorest quality, use an old COW yard OF
pig yard for your patch, and you are
about sure to get them, no matter what
the variety.

Nothing so dramatic as the flight of the
Empress Eugene from Paris, has occurred
in the annals of royalty since the sad de-
parture of Marie Antoinette from the Tuil-
cries. The Empress left the Palace on
Sunday AZ soon as the news OF the capture
of the Emperor Was confirmed. She lels
by the quay, accompanied by single ser
want Her departure was so hasty that
her room was left in disorder. Trunks
were piled in confusion on the floor, bon
nets and dresses were lying about in heaps
and the bed was made, while in the rooms
of the Emperor aud the Prince, which had
not been occupied for many 4 night, every
thing Law as thew had left them weeks before.


The Emperor's books and papers, cigar
boxes, revolver cases and phials contain
ing phosphate of iron, remained as he had


eft them when first departing for the
German frontier. An unfinished historical
exercises remained on the desk in the young
Princes room, and his leaden toy soldiers,
with which, probably, his father had been
teaching him the art Of war in preparation
for Saarbruck and Weissenburg, Law de-
feated and Overthrnwu on the carpet.
Perhaps Eugenie, as much as tbs wife
and mother as the Empress, had allowed
the rooms of her dear ones to remain
just as they Ind left them to remind her
more forcibly of the absent. Perhaps
she anticipated with hOusewifely glee
the pleasure so methOdical a man as the
Emperor would take in resuming every de-
tail of his business OF his studies, when he
came back, just at the point where he left
off, and so bright boy as Louis would
feel fighting his victorious battles over
again with the leaden soldiers that he had
last seen in disorder.


But they have not come back, and will
not. The Empress flies secretly and in
terror to meet them where they are pris-
oners, while the Republican National Guard
cat their meals in the great dining halls
and drink the royal vino in the cellar, and
a Republican pOpulace tears the imperial
insignia from the chairs and ratings that
only tho day before acknowledged the grand
presence of Eugenie herself.
