To a Milkmaid.

Sprightly as a lightsome fairy,Charming goddess of the dairy;Maiden with the milking pail,Listen to thy lover's wail:While with true love I am burning,You're the happy day a churning!Oh! it sometimes makes me shudderTo suspect you love an udder!After giving me your word,After all that has o'curd,To keep faith you will not fail,Maiden with the milking pail!But I swear by my dejection,By the cream of her complexion,By the sun in heaven glowing,By the kine in meadows lowing,By the gentle morning zephyr,That no other one shall heifer.1 »ill have no maiden butter.And I'll keep her when I've got her;Yes, I'll win her, come what may,Where there's will, there is a whey!

Rest.Tuere is a voice that rings above the clamour

And business of the world,That calleth often through the midnight si-

lenceEre sleep's soft wings be furled.

It speaketh unto souls of men sin burdened,To hearts with loss oppressed—

'Bring hither your deep woes, your hiddensorrows.

And I will give you rest.The world may give you after patient seeking,Some ground whereon to build

Hopes that should keep an empty heart fromaching,

If they might be fulfi led."Great works may tempt you. on your strength

relying,To do and spend yonr best;

But these will fail to comfort you in dying—Then I will give you rest,"

O ye who journey, worn and faint with hunger,As through strange paths ye roam,

Hark to this Voice that bids you stray nolonger

Afar from friends and home;Cast off the shackles that so long have bound

you,Whose weight hath sorely prest,

And hear the voice that whispers having f on ndyou,

"And I will give vou rest."

TRAPPED BY A HEIRESS.A cosier place than the big sitting-

room at Hillcrest would have beenhard to find, if one had travelled fromLand's End to John O'Groats; and thiseventful evening, when the destiniesof two worthy people were about tak-ing definite form—two people who hadnever seen each other, and who hadheard of each other so often that bothwere curiously eager to meet—on thisimportant evening the sitting-room atHillcrest had never looked pleasanteror cosier.

A huge fire of logs glowed like mol-ten carbuncles in the open fire-place;on t lie table in the centre of the floorwhose cover matched the glowingcrimson of the carpet, was a silverstand that held a dozen snowy wax ta-pers, whose beaming light contrasted

i exquisitely with Jhe ruddy glow of thefire.

Beside the table, in a big, cushionedchair, with his feet thrust toward the

i genial warmth on the hearth, his gray' dressing-gown sitting comfortably onhis portly form, his gold-rimmed glass-es on his nose, sat the owner and mas-ter of Hillcrest, Mr. Abiah Cressing-ton, rich, good-natured, and fond of hisown way. Opposite hi.n was the mis-tress of the place—little, shrew-faced,sharp-nosed, merry Aunt Cornelia, hissister, who, since her widowhood, hadcome to Hillcrest to make herbachelor brother's home as pleasant asshe could.

That she had succeeded was very ev-ident by the way now in which helooked up from a letter he had beenreading—the confidential, kindly wayin which he did it.

"Walter writes a curious letter in re-sponse to my invitation to come andspend a few weeks at Hillcrest as soonas he gets over his fatigue from hisocean voyage home, after his fiveyears' tour abroad. I'll read it to you;

He leaned near the softly-glowinglights, and began the short, concise reply that Walter Austin had writtenfrom his chamber in the Temple:—

"You are very kind, indeed, UncleAbiah, to ask me down to Hillcrest foras long as I wish to stay, and 1 can as-sure you that I have been so longwanderer that the idea of a home isvery pleasant to me. But when I takeinto consideration the peculiar import-ance you propose attaching to my visit1 am unwilling to accept the invita-tion. To me, the idea of having ui)fancies and inclinations put into har-ness, and to feel that I am on contin-ual duty to win my way into the goodgraces of my second cousin, Mabelwhom you are good enough to wish meto marry—"

Mrs. Cornelia interrupted sharply,—'•Abiah, you never surely went anc

told our grandmother that you had inview his marriage with Mabel?"

Her tone was energetic, almost rep-rehensive.

"Why not? I certainly did. I toldhim in my letter that it was a chancefor him he'd never get againand that he needn't feel undersuch terrible obligations to take a fancy to Phil's little Mabel, but to comedown and be cousinly, and if anythingshould happen, it'd be right alaround."

Mrs. Cornelia knitted vigorously, herlavender cap-ribbons quivering in thmellow taper glow.

"All 1 have to say is, you're — a foolAbiah! Walter is right. A youngman doesn't like to have his fancieunder rein and whip, and the very facthat we want him to marry, will makehim indisposed to do it. You'vemade a great mistake in the beginning.

Mr. Cressington looked aghast at hisister's determined face.

"Why, I really didn't suppose—""Of course you didn't. It's only nat

ural stupidity, you dear old fellowMen are all alike. Don't I know themlike a book? And you've ruined youhopes for Mabel and Walter at the verjoutset."

Mr. Cressington started discomfitedly.

"I am sure I meant it all righenough, Cornelia. I certainly want©Walter to know what a little darlingoiir Mabel is, and what a nice littlwife she would make for any man."

'•Very commendable, indeed; only, iyou had consulted me upon the letteyou sent, I should have advised you tsay nothing about Mabel, or hecharms or her expectations. I shoulhave simply asked him to come anisee us, and have left the rest to Mabel's blue eyes. You see Abiah ?"

His lips compressed slowly."I think I see. And my hopes ii

that direction are all ruined!"The silver needles clicked rapidly

and the snow-white yarn came reelinmerrily off the ball under her arm.

'Not at all. Leave that to me, an<I'll see what can be done. Trustwoman's wit to get even a blunderinold fellow like yourself out of a scrape.

She smiled and nodded, and lookedltogether so mischievous that Mr.ressington became quite excited overer little mystery."Do explain, Cornelia."And when she explained he leaned

ack in his chair, with an expressionf positive awe and admiration on hisace."What a woman you are, Cornelia!declare, it beats anything I ever heardl the whole course of my life!"

* * * * *After dusk, a glorious winter day,

vith here and there a star twinklingthe pale gray sky, and the lights and

res in the Hillcrest sitting-room mak-ng an eloquent welcome to WalterLustin, as he stood in the midst of theome circle, tall, gentlemanly, hand-ome and self-possessed.Old Mr. Cressington was in his rich-

st humor as he led forward two youngiris."Come, don't be shy, now. Walter,

his is your cousin Mabel Cressington,nd this is her good friend and insepar-ble companion, Irene Vance, come toelp entertain you. My nephew, Mr.Valter Austin, girls. And this isunt Cornelia—you remember her

veil enough, hey ?"And so the presentation was merrily

otten over, and Walter found himselft home in the most pleasant familye had ever known.They were remarkably pretty girls,

;vith blue eyes—although Miss Vance'srere decidedly the deeper blue andnore bewitching—andlovley, yellow-jold hair. Walter found himself ad-niring the style of Miss Vance's roif-fure before he had known her an hour;md when he went up to his room thatnight he felt as if between the two,oguish Mabel and sweet little Irene,e never would come out heartwhole."For Mable is a good little darling,"

honght he, "and I will take GreatuncleYbiah's advice and fall in love withler, and thereby secure a generoushare of the Cressington estates. Egad!hat's a happy thought!"

But the handsome young gentlemanwent to sleep and dreamed, instead oftable's laughing eyes, of Irene's gen-ie, tender ones; and awoke some-

what in the middle of the night, un-able to get to sleep again for thinkingf her.And the after days were not much

>etter. Despite the golden value ofMabel, there was something aboutrene Vance that made this headstrong'ellow very loolishly indifferent to theidvice he had sworn to follow.

"Because,by Jove! a fellow wouldhaye to be made out of granite to re-sist the sweet, shy ways of such alit-le darling as Irene! And I'll marry

her if she'll have me, and the moneyand property may go to the—dogs! I'vei head and a pair of hands, and blue-eyed Irene shall not suffer!"

It was not an hour later that he metler in the hall, carrying great boughs

of holly, with which to festoon, downhe walnut staircase."Give me your burden, Irene." said

le. "Why did you not tell me youwere going to gather it, and let me gowith you? It is altogether too heavya burden for your arms to bear."

He managed to get the lovely spraysfrom her arms, but it required an im-mense amount of tardy effort on hispart, and shy, sweet blushing on hers.

'Answer me, Irene. Why didn't youet me go with you? Wouldn't you

have liked it?"He demanded her answer in the

most captivating-, lordly way, and shedropped her eyes in great confusion.

"Y-e-s.""Then why were you so cruel to me ?""I am not cruel to anybody. I ndeed

Imust go now."Walter placed himself squarely in

he way, and was looking down at herrose-tinted face.

"No, you can't go yet. Irene, youare cruel, or you would never depriveone of the opportunity to enjoy theblessedness of your society." Hisvoice lowered tenderly, and he droppedtiis head nearer her golden curls. "Youknow 1 think it cruel in you to be sodistant, and shy, and reserved with me—don't you, Irene ?"

She shrank away, her lovely formdrooping like a lily, her cheeks hang-ing out the signals of distress and con-fusion.

"Oh, please don't talk so to me. In-deed I must go! Mabel is waiting forthe holly, and she—they won't like itif—"

But she was a prisoner in his tightclasp.

"If what ? If they find you and metalking so confidentially together ?"

"No! I mean if I don't take theholly at once."

Walter put his arm around her waistbefore she knew what he was doing.

"Irerle, look up. You shall not gountil you let me see in your eyes if youlove me as well as I love you! Irene,my dear little girl, I do love you verydearly!"

She was silent for one second, andhe saw the quiver of her red lips. Thenshe raised her head slowly, shyly.

"You love me?" Oh, Walter, whatwill they all say ? Don't you know itis Mabel you should say that to? Iam nobody, Walter, and Mabel is anheiress?"

Walter had both arms around her bythis time, and was looking ardently inher glowing face.

"I know Mabel is an heiress, and anice little girl; and I also know youare a darling—my darling—and theonly girl I ever asked to be my wife, orever shall ask! Say yes, pet."

His tones were low and tender, buttriumphant.

"And you can deliberately give up somuch for only just me?"

Her wondrous eyes met his bravelynow, and thrilled him with the lovelight in them.

"Only just you my own darling!Why, you are more than all the worldto me! Come, we will go tell UncleAbiah at once. Just one kiss first—you must!"

And he had more than one or two,before ho led her blushing, with tearstrembling on her lashes, like diamondson a golden thread, to Uncle Abiahwho sat in his library with Mrs. Corne-lia, industriously looking over a receiptbook. They looked up in surprise asWalter marched in, Irene on his arm, apicture of confusion.

"If you please, Uncle Abiah, I wantyour blessing and cordial consent toreceive this little girl for your niece.1 love her, and she loves me."

Uncle Abiah looked shrewdly overhis glass at Mrs. Cornelia.

"Well, sister, what shall we say tothis youth's demand ?"

A broad smile of perfect delight wason her merry face.

"Say ? Why, tell them yes, and wel-

come ; and let them know their AuntCornelia isn't a fool if their UncleAbiah is."

Walter looked astonished, and feltIrene's hand tremble on his arm.

"What is it, dear?"She smiled through her tears as she

looked into his inquiring eyes."Oh, Walter, I am afraid you will be

angry. 1 am Mabel after all, and—and—"

"A.nd you have made love to yourcousin, the heiress, in spite of yourself,my boy! So Hillcrest is a foregonefate, after all, eh?"

"Don't scold, please, Walter!" Ma-bel pleaded, in a low voice, with herblue eyes looking into his.

"As if I could scold you, my love!Since I have you what need I care?"

And Mrs. Cornelia turned over theleaves of tiie receipt-book until sitecame to "wedding-cake," and av«rsthat she made the match herself.

Seeing the Wind.

Many persons are familiar with theexperiment of seeing the air by look-ing across a heated surface. The fol-lowing method of "seeing the wind" ispronounced even more interesting:Take a polished metallic surface witha straight edge—a large handsaw willanswer the purpose. Choose a windyday, whether hot or cold, clear orcloudy, only let it not rain or the airbe murky; in other words, let the airbe dry and clear, but this is not essen-tial. Hold your, metallic surface atright angles to the direction of thewind, namely, if the wind is north holdyour surface east and west, bul: insteadof holding the surface veratically, in-cline it about 45 degrees to the horizon,so that the wind, striking, glances andflows over the edge (keeping itstraight) as water over a dam. Nowsight carefully over the edge at someminute and sharply defined object, andyou will see the air flowing over aswater flows over a dam. Make yourobservations carefully and you willhardly fail to see the air, no matterhow cold. The result is even betterwhen the sun is obscured.

Cultivation of Corn.

As a very large portion of the cornraised in Michigan is fed in the Stateand is raised with special reference tofeeding, Prof. Kedzie's analysis show-ing the relative food value of the dif-ferent varieties are conclusive on thatpoint and will materially aid farmersin selecting -the best. It does not fol-low, however, that the variety furn-ishing the largest percentage of "fleshformers" is in all cases the most profit-able to cultivate. Account must alsobe taken of its productiveness, its hard-iness, its adaptability to the soil andclimate, and its other qualities as wellas its food value. In this as in allcases the conclusions of science mustbe accepted in the light of experienceand applied with common sense. Part-ly as a supplement to Prof. Kedzie'spaper and partly as the experience ofsome of the most successful cultivatorsof corn in Southern Michigan, we give;he substance of the discussion at PawPaw which led to the chemical analy-sis. Mr David Woodman, Jr., said:

My favorite is the Yellow Dent. 1lave cultivated it for 30 years withouthange of seed. To raise it success-fully requires a good soil well prepared;alant three grains in a hill, or thin to;hree stalks, with rows four to fourind a half feet apart each way, culti-vate thoroughly, and with a favorableseason I am very sure of 100 bushelsof ears to the acre, whiclris equivalentto no bushels shelled. That I considera good crop; an extra yield is 100bushels of shelled, which I have fre-quently produced; 80 bushels is a fair,and 50 I would consider a poor crop.Next to the Yellow, I prefer the WhiteDent. Its yield is nearly equal to theYellow, but its nutritive qualities areinferior. The Pony, or Small Dent, isa valuable variety, early and reliable.

i S t Wi

eturn. In my experience, the nearer.he approach to drill culture, havinghe hills nearer together and the num->er of stalks to the hill less, the largerhe yield. Cultivation after harvest is

advisable if tools are run very shal-ow

To sum up by planting on good clo-ver sod to which the manure was ap-)lied during fall and winter; plantingood seed every time, of varieties

which will get the benefit of the wholetrowing season; reducing the damageiy worms to aminimium by much clo-ser and frequent plowing; and takingmore care in selecting tools and in themanner of using them, the yield ofcorn may be increased ten bushels pericre, while the additional expense will>e small indeed. When we rememberhat three quarts of meal per day will

winter a 900-pound cow and that Kala-mazoo countv raises 28,751 acres ofcorn per annum, an increase of tennishels per acre in this county alonewould carry through from the firstlay of November to the first day ofApril 22,848 cows, after the miller hadaken out his toll.

Military InterferenceI'mus.

at Elec-

Squashes.

•'roni the American Cultivator.

The soil for squashes should lie goodnellow soil, well drained, such as will;row a good crop of corn. Strong clayand will answer if well drained, but;he best crops are usually grown onsoil with rather sandy subsoil coveredjy deep loam. Squashes will do wellon a freshly turned sod, plowed in Mayiust before planting, and also upon oldgarden land. They are rank feedersand must have plenty of manure, tencords per acre spread and worked inwith a cultivator or harrow near thesurface, and two handfuls of guano orhen manure worked into the hills lie-fore planting, taking care to mix thestrong fertilizers well with the soil.

In the House, May 8th, the Housebill prohibiting military interferenceat elections being under consideration,Mr. Morgan (Dem., Ala,) advocatedits passage,arguing that the framersof the Constitution with a view to thepreservation of the public liberty drewa broad distinction between the regu-lar aimy and militia, and that the lat-ter should be employed to enforce thelaws.

Mr. Morgan reviewed the veto mes-sage and contended that the Presidentwas not a part of the legislatiye pow-er, as had been claimed. It was neverintended he should be, but that he hadtlie right only to stay the passage ofthe law if the judgment of the people,through their representatives, wasthus prevented from becoming a lawof the land, anless in some expressform acceptable to the Executive. Noright existed to destroy the govern-ment or put a stop to its wheels. Whenthe Executive said that he could notunite with Congress in their leg-islation, it was a duty theyowed their constituents, not theExecutive, to carry on theGovernment in a constitutional way,notwithstanding Congress disa-greed with him, and to make the neces-sary appropriations for the several de-partments of the government. Butapart from this they had a right to saythat the army should not be used at thepolls, unless in pursuance of constitu-tional authority, and should never beemployed to prevent free elections.TJie South had outlived the inflictionof troops at the polls, which had beenwithdrawn in obedience to the senti-ment of the North. The unificationand consolidation of the South wasowing to the use of the army at theelections more than to any other

policy of that sovereign was mod-elled by counsellors who wore deter-mined that the English nation shouldhave a free Parliament, elected by treecitizens at free polls, and wholly unin-fluenced and unawed by the soldiery.That is precisely the thing which tin-Democratic party is determined to se-cure to-day for the American nation,and with patience, judgment and goodtemper the Democratic party will se-cure it. If the vital and seminal prin-ciple of our confederated system ofGovernment is kept constantly inmind the work will be easy. This isthat each State must preserve peaceand good order within its own juris-diction. There must be no obstaclesto the enforcement of Federal laws inany State, but every State must see toit for itself that there are no Federallaws within its own borders. Thereis no such thing as a Federal peacedistinct and different from the peaceof the States. There can be no needof a Federal police therefore distinctand different from the police of theStates.—i^ Y.

Keeping Securities.

Old John Walsh was a banker, andalso a money-lender. He was account-ed a greedy, close-fisted old chap, yethe possessed a sort of grim, rigid hu-mor, which, in some cases, was reallyfunny. One day a dashing, recklessyoung man of the period called uponhim. "Mr. Walsh," said he, "I wantto borrow five hundred." "For howlong?" "Sixmonths." "AFhat securi-ty can you give me?" The youngfellow.drew himself proudly up. "Myown personal security, sir," he replied,with a flourish. Old John turned andopened a stout, iron chest by his side."Get in here, sir," said he. The youngblade looked first at the chest andthen at Walsh. "What for?" askedhe. "Because here is where I alwayskeep all of my personal securities."

y, yThe eight-rowed Flint,Smut-nose, Wis-consin Dent, and Tuscarora are valua-ble for late planting or for the north-ern sections of the State. I have ex-perimented with the White. Yellow,and Calico Nebraska, Quail Track,Chester County Mammoth, Iowa Hack-berry, Virginia White, and other varie-ties. Some of them succeed well andcan be advantageously grown in thisvicinity. I don't know whether ProfKedzie has analyzed the corn yet, billI am satisfied that the Yellow Dent isthe most nutritious and therefore themost valuable for feeding. Horsestoo, if offered both the White Dent ancthe Yellow Dent will prefer the Yellow. and 1 believe they are pretty goodjudges.

Capt. Hendryx said: I have hail atleast ten years more experience ingrowing grain than Mr.Woodman. Myson and I had some dispute about theWhite Dent and Yellow Dent, and itbecame so sharp that we finally con-cluded to weigh it in the ear, and theresult was that the Yellow weighedseven pounds more to the bushel thanthe White.

The Hon. J. J. AVoodman said: Thereare several different varieties of Whiteand Yellow Dent, of which one varie-ty would correspond with Ilendryx'sstatement, and one would producefrom five to seven pounds more to thebushel than the Yellow Dent. I havea kind which I have raised for severalyears, which would weigh more thanthe Yellow Dent, the Captain speaksof. I procured it of Benjamin Shel-don, of Bloomingdale. It weighedfrom 80 to HO pounds to the bag, orfrom 12 to 15 pounds more to the bagthan ordinary corn.

Mr. Edwin Welch said: 1 plantedsome of this corn Mr. Woodmanspeaks of, side by side with some I hadfrom Bloomingdale, and I found thatthe large Yellow Dent does not do aswell on our light soils. It needs astrong, rich soil.

So much as to the varieties. As tothe planting and cultivating of cornwe may add the testimony of Mr. Wil-liam Strong, of Kalamazoo. He says:

To attain the highest success in corn-raising for a term of years, it is neces-sary to plant on a good clover sod. Bythis 1 dp not mean a sod formed by apoor, stinted growth of top and root, ofonly a rewT inches in length, but by athrifty growth of top and a correspond-ing growth of root, filling the top soilwith fibrous roots and sending the toproots down through the hard-pan, clayand gravel to an unknown depth. Withthe spade I have followed clover rootsdown to a depth of six feet; how muchfarther they went I cannot say, as atthat point I broke them off and gaveup the chase. This is the way wewould have our clover grow to form asod to start the rotation of corn, oatsor barley, wheat and clover again.

The only safe way is to select theseed in the fall and put it where it willnot freeze. It is not safe to plantfrozen corn. Three-fourths mightgrow in a pan by the kitchen stove, butif at planting time the soil is cold andwet, three - fourths will not. Inscarcely any other way can the yieldof corn in this State be increased as byplanting only perfectly sound seed.While speaking of seed, it may be wellto observe that, to obtain the largestyield, it is necessary that we plantthose varieties that will get the bene-fit of the whole growing season andripen before frost. It is a poor recom-mendation for a variety that it willrippen in 80 or 90 days from time ofplanting. To obtain the best results,it will not do to have our corn ripenbefore the growing season is 'two-thirds or three-fourths past.

As to application of manure, 1 say,without hesitation, apply it as a topdressing to the clover sod intended forcorn the coming season. Just beforeor immediately after planting, it is ad-visable to pass a roller over the field,as by so doing the top soil is madevery fine, so that the soil titsvery closely about the seed, ina dry time causing it to ger-minate and grow much sooner thanit otherwise would. Clean cultivationis acknowledged by all as necessary toobtain the best results, yet how oftendo we see the weeds higher than thecorn! Great injury sometimes occursby running the "two-shovel" and othertools too deep, thereby cutting offlarge quantitiesof roots and sometimesnearly overturning the hills themselves.I believe large loss comes each year bytoo deep cultivation of our corn afterit has attained some height. The ruleshould be deep tillage first and shallowtillage as the corn increases in size.The almost universal practice is toplant in rows four feet apart each way.This is perhaps the best where fieldsare stumpy and stony and overrunwith June grass, and the like; butwhere thorough culture is given uponsmooth farms where clover sod is therule, drill culture will give the largest

The best time to plant squashes is just |as the fruit trees are in bloom in May.but if they are to be grown as a secondcrop after potatoes, cabbages, peas orgreens, and it is needful to have thesoil occupieiby the early crop till July10, it will be better not to put in thesquash seed till June 1 to 10.

The squash hills are mane, when theland is devoted to this crop alone, aboutseven feet apart, and eight seeds aredropped in a hill, covered with an inchof earth. Some gai-deners prefer totake pains to stick the seed in by hand,germ downwards, thinking it is quick-er and surer to grow; this is not neces-sary however. As soon as the vinesappear above ground the war with thebugs begins. The yellow striped bugis first; he is kept in check by sprink-ling the vines early in the morningwith a little plaster from a sieve,which must be replaced as often asthe wind and rain remove it from theleaves. A few days later the largeblack bug appears, and a war of exter-mination is now justifiable. Place abit of of shingle beside each hill; goaround before breakfast, and look un-der the shingles for the bugs, and whenfound kill them at once without regardto the smell that will ensue. If theyonce deposit their eggs, and the secondgeneration appears in force, then good-bye squashes. A still more trouble-some enemy is the borer. Some gar-deners have been successful in fightinghim at the point of thejacknife; hiswhereabouts being discovered by hisdroppings near the root of the vine, thevine may be opened with the knifecarefully and the varmint extracted,covering the wound afterward with alittle earth. If he is not removed thevine will often wilt and die, when sev-eral yards long. It is important tocultivate the squash as often as possi-ble before it begins to run, as afterthis it is impossible do do anything toprevent weeds from growing. Theyshould be thinned out to four in a hillwhen they begin to run.

The crop is cut and sold from thefield as fast as it ripens in Fall; or. ifwanted for Winter sales, is usually cutand stored early in September, beforefrost. The ripening is determined bythe drying of the stem.

When squashes are raised as a sec-ond crop,it is customary to leave blankrows, eight or nine feet apart, betweenthe potatoes, peas or cabbages, etc.,which make the early crop; the varie-ty used for this purpose is the BostonMarrow, as it will bear late planting,keeps well for Winter sale, and is veryproductive. The squash seed is put inthe blank rows, in hills four feet apartin the row, about June 1 to 10. Want-ed thus late they grow rapidly, andescape the bugs in a measure. Theywill begin to run July 10 to 15, whenthe early crop must be cleared off togive them room to strike root betweenthe rows.

The storage is effected in a dry-house furnished with shelves threefeet apart, with air spaces between theboards. The squashes are piled twotiers deep, and the temperature kept asnear to 00S as possible by means of astove. A chill below 40« is very apt tocause serious loss by rotting. Storedsquashes require picking over everytwo weeks to cull out the decayedones and spotted ones, the latter beingsalable in Winter._

Care of Chickens.

A constant supply of fresh, clear wa-ter, and clear, dry, well-ventilatedroosting places are absolutely necessaryto the health of poultry, and perhapsthe neglect of these two importantmatters destroys more fowls than allother causes combined. They are leftto ejit snow, drink from filthy puddles,or do without water, and the roostingplaces through neglect, become har-bors for vermin, and the wonder isthat few fowls die. Lime and vege-table food arc also necessary, if hensare expected to produce eggs. I thinkold mortar is one of the best forms inwhich lime can be furnished. Cabbageleaves, raw potatoes, and clover areconvenient forms of vegetable food.Bits of fresh meat and all kinds of ta-ble scraps are highly relished by hensat all times.

Kerosene is fatal to insect life whenapplied directly upon their bodies. Itspenetrating and powerful fumes willdrive away and keep at bay the ver-min that too often infests both hensand nests. But if it be rubbed freelyupon the hen's legs and flanks (with aview to remove the parasites from herbody) and she returns to her nestwhile the dampness of this liquid re-mains upon her plumage, the vaporwill be forced from her warm body inthrough the pores of the egg-shells, andevery chick will be destroyed. Forthis reason we advise that kerosene bevery carefully used at this time—andthat sulphur only be made use of uponhen or nest, when she is sitting.Poultry World.

"Revolution!"

Having cried "revolution" so longthe Republicans have at length got it.It has not come, and could never come,in the proposal of the Democrats toannul certain sections of laws whichare applicable only to a period of civilwar, and for which there is no warrantduring the reign of the Constitutionin a time of peace. It has come fromtheir own camp, and is cried by one oftheir own number whom they haveprotected from an investigation of.most serious charges against him. llev-olution, in this country and under ourform of government, can only be an at-tempt to subvert that form of govern-ment. Congressman Robeson deliber-

i ately proposes it, and refuses to shrinkH

In further review of theveto message Mr. Morgan said thepeople in their own time will rebukethis pretender. The arrogant and pre-posterous assertion that Congress couldnot employ a method of legislation towhich he objected was answered bythe course of the President himselfwhile he was a member of the House,he having voted for legislation in ap-propriation bills. His conscience atthat time was not full grown. It wasnot sufficiently matured to grasp thegreat constitutional question. It wasto be depreciated that the President sofar forgot himself as to charge im-proper motives to the majority in Con-gress, and this scandal ought to be re-buked. Mr. Morgan left the Presidentwhere his imputation belonged. An-drew Jackson, John Adams, ThomasJefferson or George Washington wouldnot have made such an imputation.butthis was left for Kutherford B. Hayes.

By passing a bill to prohibit militaryinterference at the polls as a separatemeasure the majority wished to removethe slightest ground of Executive ob-jection. The veto message was in thenature of a stump speech, a mere re-view of the Democratic party, to whichthe President imputed corrupt andrevolutionary purposes. The vetomessage was a mere echo of the speechof the Senator from New York (Conk-ling; on a former occasion, someparts of which Mr. Morgan criticised.The Democrats were, he said, accusedby the Senator of a plot or traitorousdesign in bringing forward a bill tocontrol the use of the army, but thepeople would not believe it, notwith-standing the oratorical force of the Sen-ator. The President in echoing thesame charge had not been so candidand direct.

Mr. Morgan spoke for three hoursand a half.

The Work of the House.As the froth of wild words beaten

up by partisan journalists about theattitude and intentions of the Demo-cratic majority in the House blowsaway or settles down, sensible, peoplebegin to see that the Democratic lead-ers have never wavered for a momentfrom the purpose set forth so clearlyand so dispassionately by Senator Beckand by Mr. Blackburn long before theveto of President Hayes was sent in.Nothing could be more striking thanthe contrast between the cool and pre-cise propositions of the majority inCongress and the chaotic medley of as-sertions and declamations which Pres-ident Hayes, according to the. Tribunewas afraid to expose to the criticism ofhis own Cabinet before he baptised ita veto and sent it to the other end ofthe avenue.

The House understands that it isdealing with a grave constitutionalquestion in which precision of lan-guage is as important as precision ofthought, and it is very properly pro-ceeding therefor in the way best cal-culated to secure a thorough consider-ation of the terms which shall be usedin giving shape to its purposes. Thelegislation put upon the statute bookfrom 18(50 to 1868 respecting the rightsof individuals, of the several States,and of the nation, has in the RevisedStatutes become so interwoven withprevious legislation that the work ofpicking out all the bad laws must nec-essarily be slow and tedious, but Con-gress we hope will have the patienceto go on steadily and with composureuntil it has been accomplished.

Intimations are thrown out here andthere in the news from Washington ofan attempt to fashion oui legislationabout the army on election days uponthe English rules that, on days of vot-ing for members of the House of Com-mons, all Federal troops shall be march-ed by their officers out of their quart-ers in any town where such votingmay take place into some adjoiningtown where an election is not appoint-ed to be held, and that troops shall notbe stationed within a certain specifiednumber of miles of any voting-place.It will be difficult to do this becausevoting in this country goes on in everytown on the same day. And reallythere is no need of such rules in thiscountry. Nobody objects to the pres-ence of soldiers in an American townif they are not present in military ar-ray and not present under orders to in-terfere with or to stand guard over theelection or the polling-places. Thepresence of troops in Fort Hamilton,for example, would not menace anelection in New York or the neighbor-hood unless the troops were ordered orcould be ordered to do something aboutor in some way to interfere with.theelections in New York or the neighbor-hood.i. At the time ofJWilliam III. in Eng-land so in this country now the effortto be made and the work to be done isto prevent the army from being used toinfluence or intimidate electors. The

from the consequences. He pronouncesopenly for a sovereign central govern-ment—sovereign not merely within itsallotted sphere, but everywhere and atall times; the States its creatures; thepeople its victims; as powerful to acton property as upon persons, and uponelections as upon both. Mr. Kobesonmaintains, and challenges opposition,that everything within the Union issubject to the supreme will of this irre-sponsible Central Government; thatthere is nothing local which is notfust Federal; that the people derivetheir sovereignty instead of its being oftheir own independent achievementand establishment; that their rightsare secondary and not original; that*the Federal power is as clear in a StateLegislature as it is in its relation to in-dividual citizens within limits definedby themselves; that we cannot be anation without such a solidtication ofpower as even Old Federalism neverventured to assert; and that whateverend was required had the means pro-vided and authorized for securing it.

Now this is a blank "revolution,"because it is a complete subversion ofthe system according to which we en-joy political existence as a people. Ifthe Republican journals are in earnestabout starting a revolution alarm, theynow have the very opportunity whichthey covet. If revolution means theviolent upturning of what is estab-lished, then this is the very thing it-self. There were a few ltepublicanmembers who instinctively shrankfrom the bare announcement of such adoctrine, but a very little reflectionought tojeonvince them that.their partyis drifting to it as straight as watersever drift to the gulf that receivesthem. The issue is nothing but thesame old one that has divided partiessince the Federal Government was putin operation. The incidents of coursechange, but the issue continually liesunderneath. It is that between agenuinely federal system and a systemof centralization more or less disguised.It is an issue between union and con-solidation ; between local sovereignty,witlja supervision that is supreme forcertain ends and within denned limita-tions, and a central sovereignty that isto gradually absorb its local constitu-ent element and become a colossuswithout an acknowledged responsibil-ity. Like the parentage which they canso distinctly trace, the Kepublcansholdto the doctrine of a supreme central au-thority, sup renie not for certain pur-poses but for all purposes; true to theinspiration of their political organ, theDemocrats hold to the opposite doc-trine and maintain that power is safeand responsible only as it its dis-tributed, and arrogant and dangerousas it is accumulated and centralized.The Democrats, therefore, continue tohold to the original doctrines of theConstitution; the Republicans are forabandoning them. The latter believein dynasty, in concentration, in paren-tal government, in practical absolutism.This they illustrate by their longingsfor the return of Grant and the bay-onet. And they are the abettors andadvocates ot revolution.—Jionton Pout.

The Bulwark of Liberty.

The late Mr. Fessenden was one ofthe ablest and strongest men of theRepublican party in its earlier and bet-ter days. In the great debate in theSenate upon John Sherman's amend-ment to the army bill of 1850, provid-ing that no part of the army should beused to enforce the enactments of theBorder Ruffian Legislature in Kansasuntil Congress had passed upon theirvalidity, Mr. Fessenden declared withhis wonted force the principle whichshould govern the question. "Doesnot the gentleman from Virginiaknow well," said he, "that in Englishparliament from the earliest times,not only have appropriation and rev-enue bills gone together, but in caseswithout number it has been the habitof that parliament to check the powerof the Crown by annexing conditionsto their appropriation of money? Doeshe not know that the only mode inwhich our ancestors of Massachusettscheeked the iwwer of their royal gov-ernors was by granting money only onconditional The power of supply andthe power of annexing conditions tosupply have always gone together inparliamentary history; and their jointexercise has never been denounced asa cause of revolution, or calling forrevolution, or tending to produce rev-olution in any shape or form whatever.Jtisapower essential to the preservationof our liberties."

This is as true in 1870 as it was in1850. The principle which Mr. Fes-senden so powerfully expressed is theprinciple to which Congress ought toadhere without flinching. The powerof the peoples' representatives to an-nex conditions to appropriations is anindispensable bulwark of liberty.—N.Y. Sun.

FRIDAY, MAY 16, 1879.

Another "Veto F rom Mr. Hayes .The minority President, counted into

lhu>ugh fruud, again plays thoro!n of ohstrnctor of tho will of tho ma-jority of the American people as expres-ned through its Congress. The bill "toprevpnt militury interference at elec-tions," which the President has vetoed,was in substance tho "rider" taken offtho nrmy nppropriation bill and passedas an independent measure. He objectedto attaching a rider to an appropriationbill, and so, to please him, Congress sentthe bill to him all by itself. He hadpointed out in his veto of tho army billcertain (to him) objectionable featuresof the "rider," and, to obviate thoseobjection?, Congress consented to elimi-nate those features. But Mr. Hayes isvery hard to please. The bill could notbe shaped to suit him, or rathpr to suitthe stalwarts who are his mentors andhis masters. The message itself is Sena-tor Edmunds' recent speech boiled down.Secretary Evarts was not a close listenerto the Vermont Senator's plausibla logicfor nothing. Edmunds succeeded in h;spurpose of stiffeniug the President's ver-tebral column to the "stalwart" degree;and the veto is the result.

This veto, which, like its predecessor,will be sustained, foreshadows the fateof the rider on the legislative bill relat-ing to Foderal Deputy Marshals at elec-tions. No political legislation is to bepermitted in the regular appropriationbills, or, apparently, out of them. The•will of the nation is blocked by a defcated candidate for President! Such isthe humiliating, noUo stay exasperating,situation that confronts us.

Tho Democrats will at least have donetheir duty. Having made up ft recordin favor of freedom of elections, untram-meled by federal interference, whethercivil or military, they can now onlyappeal to the country for a verdict onthat reoord. It remains for the peoplein their sovereign capacity to pronouncejudgment. A vital principle in government is »t stake. Let the issue be butthoroughly understood,and wemay haveno fears of what the character of the pop-ular judgment may be. The party ofcentralization and of bayonets-at-elec-tions will meet with the condemnationii deserves.

The notion of Governor Crosw^ll inneglecting to approve, and, at the sametime, f»ing to veto, the Urmersity Mu-•ftura bill, is a little odd. If he has anyobjection* to the bill which be regardsus important enough to justify the with-

•Jioldine of his signature, he should alsoregard them as important enough, itwould seem, to be embodied in a vetomessage. He escapes no responsibilityby withholding his signature, tor if thebill beoonips n law by the course actual-ly taken, it is indebted for its successquite as much to the Governor's act asif he had signed it with full approval.—Free Prest.

Friends of theUniversity reside wherethey may. do not stand in punctilio overthe way in which the bill boenmea law.What we want is the appropriation•which we now have of $40,000 for amuseum, and we are not disposed tohiggle over the point whether it met theapproval of the executive and becamelaw, or whether by withholding his sig-nature it became law. What we weremest interested in, was, to have it becomlaw, and secure tho appropriation. Thiwe now have. If our cotem. is jealousof our good fortune, or opposed to thenppropriation, let it come out and de-fine its position, and not by speciouscriticism of the act of Gov. Croswellallow the inference to be drawn that itwould have preferred the appropriationshould have been defeated, if not in thelegislature, then by the executive.

Colonizing negroes in Indiana, NewYork, Ohio and Pennsylvania, anticipated doubtful states in 1880, may prove anunprofitable transaction to managers oRepublican politics. However doubtful the project appears, we learn fromthe Indianapolis Sentinel that 2,00isouthern refugees have been divertecinto Indiana, which, if true, is for ncother than political purposes.

From the Detroit Post and Tribune.Wheat Prospects in Washteuav

County.BASE LAKE—Wheat is looking ver

well in this vicinity. Occasionally orolling land there are spots winter killed, but not to any great extent. Ousupervisor reports a larger quantity jthis township (Dexter) than one yeaago. I think there is one-third or twofifths of the crop of 1878 yet to be marketed.

DEXTER—Iu this vicinity the whoacrop has been injured by winter killitijand the dry weather last month to thextent of one-quarter as compared witlast year's splendid crop, or say fivbushels per acre less. The best in formation obtainable would indicate tlone-fifth of the crop is yet in the handof producers aud subject to the demanof the market.

DELHI — Judging from appearancenow the prospects of wheat are abovtho average in tho towns of Scio anWebster. The prospects in the rest othe county are reported to bo equallgood. Tbe stock of old wheat in farrners' hands is from one fifth to onefourth of the crop.

>SAT.INE—Wheat on the ground is looking very poor on about two-thirdsthe uplands. Where the laud is moisit still looks pretty well, but unless wget warm and wet weather soon, oi:crop must be far short of what it promlsed a month ago. The wheat in farmers' hands is pretty well sold ; shouljudge that at least five-sixths of thcrop had gone out of first hands.

ANN ARBOR—There is now every prospect of a fair average crop of wheat ithis county, although in some looalitioit is somewhat backward. On sandland, it is not looking as well as a weeago, tho cold dry weather affecting iconsiderably. It is estimated by thbuyrrs in this city that one-fifth of lasyear's crop is in tho hands of farmers.—Rain in needed very much.

YPSILANTI—The wherit crop in thissection is looking splendid, especiallyon sandy and loamy land. Ou clayland, in some places it is winter killed,especially on side hills, the cool weatherof tho past month has been favorablefor tho crop, but what we are sadly inneed of at present is warm weather andwarm rains to make tho yield first-class.Most of the farmers sold their last year'sorop soon after the harvest, not muchremaining in their hands ftt present.

MORE ABOUT THEIBS,

oclfnnd Wenhvorm Recaptured.As the ARGUS went to press last week

the examination ot Lincoln D. Sells ofMansfield, O., was in progress. It wasknown at this time that Delf and Went-worth had been captured but tha ap-pearance of Delf as a witness, at the in-stance of Prosecuting Attorney Euierick,surprised the attorneys of Sells.

Delf was at ouco sworn and readilygave his testimony to the effect thatboth Sells and himself had committedthe burglary in question on the nightof January 17 last. He detailed theparticulars as to how they had brokeninto the store and stolen tho goods,which consisted of seal-skiu caps, gloves,scarfs, neckties, cheap jewelry, etc., andhow they had afterwards gone to theroom of Harry B. Orr, at Mrs. Clark'son Maynard street, and had there divid-ed the property among the three. Delfalso testified that subsequently, whilein Sells' room one day, the latter hadpacked one of the seal-skin caps in acigar-box and the two had then pro-ceeded to the express office and Sellshad sent it to Mansfield, O. The capwas sent to Harry Lookridgo of thatplace, and has since been recovered andwas identified by defendant as the onesent by Sells. The defense, without of-fering any testimony, permitted Sells tobe bound over for trial at the CircuitCourt, and his bail was fixed at $1,200.This has not yet been furnished, but hisfather will return at once to Mansfieldand raise the money, when he will de-posit it here with some person who, be-ing thus secured, will become Sell'ssurety.

Delf and Wentvvorth were capturedat Arnherstburg and by strategy induc-ed to come over to this side of the lineThesuccess in finding their whereabouts,capture, &c, should be credited to De-puties sheriff Warren and Thompson,who returned to this city on Thursdaynight with the prisoners.

How these persons got away is thusdetailed: The escape was effected a-bout 12 o'clock Sunday night. Themen had then tiken to the Toledo &Ann Arbor Riilroad track, in tho rearof the jail, and walked on the track tothe old saw-mill on State street. Theythen took the south Ypsilanti road andafter proceeding about five miles stop-ped for a rest, Emerson going straighton and Delf and Wentworth afterwardsbranchsng off to Saline. They sleptMonday ni^ht in a barn and got some-thing to eat at farm houses, inquiringtheir way to Trenton all the while, butkeeping out of the highways as much aspossible. Tuesday they reached Bel-den, and too'c the Flint & Pere Mar-quette Road to Cirleton and thencetook the Canada Southern to Trenton,which they reached about midnight,and passing the remainder of the ni^inin a saw-mill prooaeded early the nextmorning to Amherstbur.?, where theyspent the day, and passed tha night ina spoke f ictory. Theysiw'd wood fortheir breakfast fora lady, and remarkedthat it was mighty hard wood to saw,and that the lady gave them a verypoor breakfast—some pieces of bread.

The recapture of Delf is regarded witha good deal of satisfaction by DeputySheriff Warren, some persons havingcharged him with carelessness in per-mitting the escape, after being warnedby Merry, and it being supposed thatsome one outside furnished Delf withtools, which is shown not to have beenthe case.

Emerson, who it soams planned andeffected the escape, was confined in thoCharlotte jail at the time of tho roenntescape there and is believe 1 to havebeen one of tho principal actors in theexploit, although he made no effort toescape himself, being confined on acharge upon which he was suro of ac-quittal.

All the students arrested are now dis-posed of until the June term of courtwhen the examinations of Djlf, Orr andSells will take place.

The examination of IIirry Merry, theHigh School student, accused of receiv-ing stolen goods, was concluded onThursday of last weak by a vindicationof himself, and he was therefore dis-charged, his father entering a recogn-izance for his appearance at the Juneterm of court as a witness against Delf.

LANSING.

Eighteenth Week of the Legisla-tive Session — Municipal In-debtedness — New Tax Law-The Trouble at Flint.

From Our Own Correspondent.

LANSINO, May 9, 1879.

The eighteenth week of the sessionhas been very productive of comparartively unimportant legislation — hasyielded an immense crop of small pota-toes, so to speak. The amending olcity and village charters in matters ofpurely local interest and the revisingof old laws in unimportant particularshave occupied the attention of the as-sembled Solons almost exclusivelyand though this work is no doubt nec-essary to keep the machinery of gov-ernment in good running and has, foiaught I know, been done in a mosiskillful and masterly manner, yet it isnot that kind of Legislative proceed-ings from which interesting letterscan be made. Indeed it is difficult toconceive of anything more dry anddreary than the reading and discussionof verbal amendments hour after hourto some verbose charter or statutewhich few of the legislators know any-thing about, but which they are mor-ally certain to know about, if they don'tget it just as some interested partywants it.

MUNICIPAL INDEBTEDNESS.Mr. Henderson's large Manual just

put in the hands of members containsmuch statistical and other informa-tion about State affairs, not includedin former Manuals. From it I copythe following indebtedness of thecities named, as a matrer of generalinterest. It is to be regretted that wehave not the means of comparing thiswith the indebtedness of the samecities a few years ago.but it is believedto be much less: Bay City $415,438 75;Big Rapids, $60,000; Corunna, $3,800;Detroit, $752,315 57; Dowagiac, $738 94East Saginaw, $626,968 62; Grand Rap-ids, 514,350; Greenville, $14,000; Has-tings, $33,700; Ionia, $15,000; Ishpem-ing, $12,000; Jackson, $183,500; Lans-ing, $114,400; Ludington, $5,800; Man-istee, $30,000; Marshall, $6,500; Muske-gon, $160,000; Xiles, $10,000; Pontiac,$25,000; West Bay City, $1,000; Wyan-dotte, $6,000; Ypsilanti, $15,000.

THE NEW TAX BILL.The voluminous bill digested and re-

ported by the special committee on re-vision of the tax laws, has at last beenprinted, and the House devoted somehours yesterday and to-day to its con-sideration. The bill though. very im-portant is altogether too hefty for yourcorrespondent to serve up in these let-ters, however here is a specimen sliceshowing some of the proposed altera-tions from the existing law:

The new bill adds to the "money" ormoneys" which come under the pro-

visions of the law "the stock of corpor-ations organized under the laws ofthis State or of the United States."

Section 980 as it now exists makesit the duty of the cashier of everyState or national bank to furnish ttothe assessors the names of all non-resi-dent stockholders, whether resident ornon-resident.

Section 981 specifies the kinds ofproperty which must be set forth inietail in the statement to assessors.The new bill contains the followingsub-sections on this subject, which aredifferent from the corresponding onesin the old law: Every gold or silverwatch of the value of $25 and upwards,and all plate and jewelry; All moneysind all credits including bonds, mort-gages, notes and other evidences ofdebt, at their cash value; All lumber,saw logs, round and square timber cut,ither on his premises or any other

premises, or in any mill yard or in;ransit, and all other personal property!ield or owned by him; All vessels,aoats, tugs, flat-boats, floats, wharf-boats or other water craft whatsoever,owned by him; All farming imple-ments and mechanics' tools of the ag-regate value of $100 and upwards;

All threshing machines, and wood-saw-ng machines, together with all steam

engines and horse-powers used for pro-jelling the same; and all other porta-)le horse-powers, steam engines, boil-ers and fixtures thereto

To section 988 is added the follow-ng, "On or before the first Monday of

March in each year, the Auditor Gen-ual shall transmit to the county treas-irers of the several counties of the

State a list of the lands therein situated,held by the State and not subject toaxation, and the county treasurer

shall immediately, upon receipt of thesame, notify the several supervisors ofthe county, and such lands shall beemitted from the assessment roll."

Section 1014 which is one of consid-erable importance, is amended so as toread as follows: "Whenever any taxwhich shall have been or may hereafter>e assessed on personal property inhis State shall be returned by anyownship treasurer for non-payment

under the provisions of this act, orwhen any tax shall have been assessedupon the shares of the stock of any)ank, and the same shall not be paid byhe cashier of such bank on demand, ithall be lawful for such treasurer toue, in the name of such township, the>ank using such share of stock, be-ore any court of competent jurisdic-ion, and to have, use, and take allawful ways and means provided byaw for the collection of debts, to en-orce the payment of any such tax."

I shall try to serve up other slices ofhis bill as it slowly crystalizes into aaw, which there is every probabilityhat it will do.INVESTIGATING THE FLINT INSTITUTE

The usual monotony of the proceed-ngs has been somewhat disturbed byhe introduction, discussion and pas-age of a concurrent resolution for theppointment of a committee to inves-igate certain recent troubles in lhenstitution for the Deaf, Dumb andhe Blind at Flint. The immediate oc-asion for this action is briefly this:

few weeks ago the Institutionhoir, composed of blind pupils whoad been practicing Morzart's mass,fere directed by Principal Parker torepare to sing it at the closing exer-ises of the school. Father Haire, theocal Roman Catholic priest forbadehe Catholic pupils from singing the

mass in public. The Principal report-d the case to the Board of Trustees,nd by their direction he gave theCatholic pupils a certain time to makep their minds whether they shouldbey the Principal or Father Haire.t the expiration of that time, six of

he pupils who refused to sing the masswere sent home. This action of theoard of Trustees whether right or

vrong, is as I understand it, the littlember from which certain parties haveanned a very large smoke. The reso-ution for an investigation passed theHouse yesterday by a vote of 61 to 23.

he resolution was subsequentlyasssed by the Senate.

THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.Some progress was made last even-

ing in the long-drawn-out discussionover the appropriations for the Agri-cultural College. The House reachedthe bill in committee of the wholewhen Mr. Stanchfleld moved a reduc,tion by striking out $6,000 for a bo-tanical laboratory. This w;is favoredin a long and excited debate by Messrs.Stanchfleld, Yerkes and Willett,and op-posed by Messrs. White, Hall, Gould.Sawyer, Allen, McNabb and Bowen,and lost by a vote of 8 to 40. The billwas then agreed to, as amended by thespecial committee. It appropriates$33,080 24, which is $11,400 less thanthe amount passed by the Senate. Therules were suspended and the billpassed, 68 to 16.

Jefferson aves., Detroit, Mich.

M. Hilton Williams, M. D., Prop'r.Who personally l-eceivea patients at the Insti-

tute for the cure of all the various diseasesof the Head, Throat aud Chest, and their

complications, through the system"f inhalation, combined with

proper internal treatment.

To those who have wtiat they are pleased to calllingering colds" we would say unhesitatingly,

and if possible with a voice that would awaken allfrom that pleasant delusion, that without promptand earnest efforts in a rational und proper manner,many will soon follow those who have found releasefrom their suffering In that "sleep which knowsno waking."

You have been conscious, but almost afraid toconfess the fact, and unwilling to admit it to your-elves that the slight Irritation of the throat, theannoyance of nasal catarrh, the symptoms of abronchial inflammation of a few weeks or mouthsaRO, which you confidently believed would "wearoff," has become firmly established, and is mostcertainly, and by degrees, more or less rapidly, audwith fatal precision and unyielding grasp, advanc-ing to hopeless consumption. You may object toan<l shrink from the frank statement by your med-ical adviser ; you may deny the truthful convictionwhich forces itself upon your observation andreason, but the plain fact, divested of nattering as-surances that can only cheat you of even life itself,is that these throat diseases, the bronchial inflam-mations and other constitutional causes, are tellingagainst you with unerring certainty, and the as-surances—so pleasant to the ear—that all wi.l l.ewell bye and bye, are the more delusive and cruel.

You do not want to stupefy the senses by opiatesnor take into the stomach drugs that will foreverdestroy it stone and impair itsofflce. You do not wantmerely palliative treatment to conduct and lull youinto fancied security to the very brink of th«grave, font is neither reasonable nor just to your-selves, or those who regard your cases with trem-bling- solicitude and painful anxiety.

The chilly blasts and storms of advanced au-tumn, the inclement winter with its searchingwinds and atmosphere charged with moisture, havehad their effect upon you—the great and rapid vi-cissitudes of spring, that, with the re-awakening ofvegetable life, is peculiarly fatal to consumptives—these changes of seasons are now upon the invalidas well as upon the robust, and it is wise to justnow stop and reflect upon the nature and progressof your disease, and the remedial measures youhave employed, and seriously to inquire if there isa way open to you by which you may escape thedanger which is impending.

We say, without hesitation, I hat thegreater num-ber of pulmonary diseases can be cured.

We need not dilate upon theories while we an-able to present living evidences of the efficacy ofjudicious medication in a class of cases so long andpersistently pronounced hopeless.

Inhalations are applicable in all diseases of therespiratory organs, including catarrh, throat diseas-es, asthma, bronchitis, consumption ; and thous-ands of cases can be cured by this mode of treat-ment when nothing else can reach them.

Those who desire to consult me in regard to theircases had better call at the office for an examina-tion, hut if impossible to visit the office personally,may write for " List of Questions," and circularboth of -which will be sent free of charge Address
