'TT SIGHT HATE BEEN." L ?_/_ \jr-t".-'.^' ifieavy bead bent on her yielding band, And half flushed cheek, bathed in a fe? vered light? With restless Yips, and most unquiet eyes, A maiden sits, and looks upon the night. The darkness presses close against the pane, And silence lieth upon the elm tree old, Through whose 'wide branches steals the white-faced moon, In fitful gleams, as though Jtwere over , bold. She bears the wind upon the pavement fall, And lifts her head, as if to listen there; Then wearily she taps against the pane, Or folds more closely the ripple of her hair; She sings unto herself an idle strain, And through its music all her thoughts are seen; For all the burden of the song she sings Is,^'Ob, my God,! it might nave been I" Alas.' that words like these should have tho power . To crush 4be roses of early youth? That en her altar of remembrance sleeps Some hope dismantled of its - love and truth ; '? ? That'mid the shadows of her memory lies ? Some grave moss-covered, where she loves to lean, ' And sadly sing to the form therein, "It might have been?Oh, God! it might have been!" v^e all have in our hearts some hidden place, Some secret chamber where a cold corpse lies?--. The drapery of wh?se'couch we dress anew. Each day, beneath the pale glare of its eyes. We go from its-still presence to the sun, - To seek the pathways where it once was seen, And strive to still the throbbing of our hearts With this wild cry, "Oh, God, it might have been!" We mourn in secreto'er some buried love In the far past, whence love does not re <-tnrn, And strive to find among its ashes gray Some lingering spark, that may yet live and burn; And when we see the vainness of our task,' We flee away, far from the hopeless scene, And folding close our garments o'er.,our hearts, Cry to the winds, ."Oh, God! it might have been!" . , Where e'er we go in sunlight or in shade, We mourn some jewel which the heart has missed? Some brow we touched ip days long since gone by Some lios whose freshness and first dew' we kissed; We shut out from our eyes the happy light Of sun-beams^ dancing on the mil-side And like the maiden, ope them to the night, And cry, like her, rt0h, God! it might have been!" Kars and its Defences. There is in military circles an idea that the serious work of the Russo-Turkish war will be done in Asia, where the Czar is lesslikely-to encounter European oppo? sition, and where, when successful,"'tie', can place himself in position to operate advantageously in the~ direction of the Pefsiani Gulf. With Pereiaand interme? diate States in her grasp, Russia could, by her railroad system, soon control the trade with India, although England were left in undisturbed possession of Alexan? dria andtbe Suez Canal. The campaign irr Asia is certainly in marked contrast witblhe delays on the Danube, where the cream of the Ottoman forces awaits the corning of the Russians; and, whatever J passing interest attaches to the Batoums and Sukum Kalehs, Turkish towns as? saulted by Russians or Russian towns taken by Turks, the eye of Europe is chiefly fixed upon Kars, which occupies in Turkey in Asia the same relative position that Shumla holds in European Turkey. As Varna, Rustchnk and Shumla are the keys to Turkey in Europe, so Trebizond^ Kars and Erzeroum may. be said to be those of Turkey in Asia. The news so freely published by the press as to the fall of Kars some time ago must have been a matter of considerable amazement to those acquainted with its position and defences. Had such an event taken Elace the campaign in Asia Minor would are been divested of its greatest difficul? ties; but a place that held out in 1852 for five months when defended by 17,000 men and 42 guns is not likely to be token by assault or coup de main, .especially when garrisoned by more than double that amount both of men and guns. * The Town of Kars itself is small, con? taining only about fifteen thousand in? habitants. It is built upon the River Karachi, and is surrounded, by hills on all sides except the south. Nature has done much to strengthen Kars in the way of defence; for.since theday when field ar? tillery came into action at twenty-five hundred yards the old system of fortifica? tions are things of the past, and Vauban and bis school haVe died a natural death. Nowadays cities, are defended by works at a distance, and this is notably the case with Kars. The exact extent of earth? works which cover Cars is about ten square English miles, and these mostly occupy the eminences which nature has provided for its protection. .On the. east is the mighty hill of the Karadaghwhich overlooks every other eminence for miles, whilst on the west and north Kars is shut in by another range of hills called the Tahmasp.- The south, is protected by the river and a large entrenched camp, of which we shall speak presently. From the Karadagh battery to the Tahmasp battery is a distance of about four miles; whilst from the-Telek tabia to the south? ernmost portion of the entrenched camp is about five miles. It will here be neces? sary to explain that the word "Tabia" is the' Turkish for "earthwork" or "field work." and that when these forts were built they were named by the Turks after various favorite commanders. Of the fortifications erected by Gen. Williams those of the Karadagh and the Tahmasp are all that remain; but these have been strengthened, and, what is of great im? portance, supplied, with Krupp guns. The work of the Karadagh mounts forty guns, and commands all the others. It is a redoubt with bastions, and communi? cates, by a covered way, with Arab tabia, a strong, closed redoubt upon the north? ern spur of the Karadagh. The batteries of the Tahmasp, which is in itself a mamelon or rounded hill, are open redans communicating with one another until the north spur of the range is occupied by the Telek tabia, a closed redoubt of great strength. In addition to these defences there is an inner line of redoubts and earthworks situated on the north side of the River Karachi and between the town and the Tahmasp. To the south, on a fine open plain, there is an entrenched camp about a mile and a half square; this entrenched camp is protected by five redans and two redoubts. In all, Kara, irrespective of its inner defences, is pro? tected, by thirty works of various sizes, mounting seme three hundred gunV This description accounts for the failure of the Russians to take the place by storm; and it now seems probable that they will flank Kara, masking it with a strong army corps, and push rapidly on to Erze? roum. With their right, at last accounts, west of Olti, and their left at Van, the Russians are in a fair way to place their converging columns on the flanks of Er? zeroum. The Turks are already prepar? ing the line of their retreat,and swiftly after the fall of Erzeroum will follow the surrender of Kara and probably of Treb izond, which last place, however, can he defended by the Turkish navy as well as the garrison. With Kara and Erzeroum in their hands, the Russians may hope to plant the Greek Cross, ere many weeks, unpleasantly near to Byzantium.?News ana Courier._ Clear thought and vigorous action de? pend upon that perfect condition of sys? tem resulting from pure blood.

Morton publishes a letter on the situa? tion in answer to an open letter published in the New York Times and other private letters. He says regarding the creden? tials of Kellogg, after they had been re? ferred to his committee: The committee on Privileges and Elections met soon af? terward, and the Republican members united in a report that prima facie S. B. Packard was the lawful Governor of Louisiana, the Packard Legislature was the lawful Legislature, and that Kellogg had been elected in conformity to the act of Congress, and was entitled to be sworn in and take his seat. As a number of members of the Senate were absent, and the subject would lead to a long debate, and there was general anxiety to adjourn, the report was not laid before the Senate'. If a majority of the Senate shall at its next session be of opinion that Kellogg was lawfully elected by the Legislature of Louisiana, he will be entitled to a seat, notwithstanding the events /that have since occurred. No subsequent breaking up of that Legislature, combination or arrangement can in the least effect his title or destroy the legality of what took glace at that time, though the very raem ers who proclaimed the election of Pack? ard and made that of Kellogg should sub? sequently-declare that of Nicholls-a?d; take part in'ttfe election of Spofford. It is too clear for argument that they could not take away the rights which had vested or make that unlawful which had been before lawful. Unless Kellogg volunta? rily withdraws, the Senate will have to decide the question of his election as it stood at the time of the adjournment. The Republican governments of Louis? iana and Soutb Carolina have yielded to force. They have gone down before an armed minority, whose threats of future violence were guaranted by a long train of bloody deeds, done in the past. I regret that the real character of the trans? action should be obscured in the least by pretended investigations or negotiations. Stripped of all disguises and pretenses, the simple fact is that Packard ana. Chamberlain were not able to maintain themselves in authority, and the govern? ment of the United States, in the exer? cise of its discretion, refused its support. Then the Legislatures, finding themselves defenseless, fell to pieces, and from their I ruins in part new Legislatures have been constituted, whose legality consists in the fact that there are none to oppose them. The law and the rights of the majority have yielded to an armed aggressive mi? nority. Morton, after describing what Grant might have done, intimates that had Hayes proceeded to maintain Packard and Chamberlain by using the army, be would have proceeded to inevitable defeat. He says the Republican majority in the Senate upon the Southern question is but nominal if at all. Five Republican Senators voted at the late executive ses? sion against seating Kellogg, and to refer his credentials to a committee, thus re? fusing to recognize the Packard govern? ment ; and a number of Republican Sen? ators, sufficient, when added to the Dem? ocratic members, to constitute a majority, hav3 steadily refused to recognize the Republican State government in Loui? siana since 1873, by voting against seating a Senator chosen by it. While, in my judgment, it was clearly the right of the President, under the constitution, to re? cognize the Packard government and support it by military power, the nnder;: taking would have been futile, and the failure disastrous. With divided public opinion in his party, and both Houses of J Congress against him, he would have failed in the end. The Democratic House has power to destroy the army entirely, and from my knowledge of the Senate, I am sure the Republican majority of that body could hardly be relied on to support Hayes in such a course. # I don't believe that President Hayes intends to destroy the Republican party and attempt the erection of a new one on its ruins. I believe in his patriotism and his integrity, his undivided purpose to make the administration a benefit to the country. The large body- of the white people who engaged in the rebellion are firmly united in favor of several things, and they will stand by the party that favors them and oppose to the bitter end the, party that opposes them. Among these is the payment for rebel property taken or destroyed by our armies. When Mr. Tilden wrote bis letter, just before his election, against these claims, he lost his hold upon the South, and was made to feel it in the late struggle in Congress. No Democrat who can divide will repeat bis blunder. In the late House the divid? ing line between rebel and loyal claims was ignored. The distinction in the rebel and Union debt will be obliterated and lost; slaves will be treated as other property sacrificed by our government. It will not all be done or avowed at once, but step by step, already more rapid, until the public mind has become de? moralized. The rebellion has ceased to be a crime?scarcely a mistake. The complete revolution of the fraternity will demand an abolition of all distinction in law between loyalty and treason. The Republican party was never more neces? sary to the nation than it is to-day. All tau: about laying down the Republican organization to take np a new one with a new title, into which old Confederates may enter without wounding their sus? ceptibilities, -would be criminal if it were not a supremely absurd idea. A New Aie-Ship.?There has recently been constructed in the old building, at the corner of Ninth and Fairmount ave? nue, formerly occupied by the Philadel? phia Scale and Beam Works, a new air? ship, the ascending power of which will be hot air. The balloon is about eighty five feet in height, and fifty in diameter, and will be inflated with hot air from an iron furnace or brazier" located in the basket. Professor George Coleman, the inventor of this air-ship, is confident that the nu? merous improvements which he has in? troduced, will enable him to overcome the many difficulties experienced by former aeronauts in inventions of a simi? lar character. He stated that the balloon will be placed on exhibition on May 10th, on which day he intends to make a pub? lic . ascension from the Centennial grounds. Professor Coleman dispenses entirely with the usual net, and substitutes in its stead a series of cords sewed strongly in the different seams of the gas bag. Pul? verized coke is the only fuel required, and the enthusiastic aeronaut is confident that he has hit on the proper means of aerial navigation. This experimental hot air and netless balloon will be used during the summer for the purpose of locating the height of the easterly current and ascertaining its velocity. It will make three or four ascensions weekly from the vicinity of the Permanent Ex? hibition Grounds, free to the public, the expenses being contributed by some of our public-spirited citizens and corpora? tions. After a series of ascensions, the Professor will make an effort to cross the Atlantic ocean, and in this undertaking he will be accompanied by some of the principal aeronauts of the United States. Professor Coleman's attempt to cross the Atlantic Ocean will be made at the close of the JEronautic Convention, which will be held, in this city in July next, the point selected for departure from this country being Cape May. It is stated that Professor Wise, the distinguished aeronaut, and many others, are in full sympathy with this movement to assem? ble tie aeronauts of the United States in convention in this city for mutual aid, instruction, and the exhibition of the .various improved balloons, air-ships, et<? The aeronauts late of the United States army have also joined in the movement. Professor Coleman is the aeronaut who conducted a number of balloon ascensions made from the vicinity of the Centennial, last summer.?Philadelphia Telegraph. - : Studies on the Farm. * The farm is probably the best school I for studying nature, for although there are high grades of scientific institutes which, so far as chemistry and a few other branches of natural philosophy are con? cerned, give minute instruction, yet the farm offers a wide field for practical ob? servation. We have before us a little book of letters Witten a hundred years ago by Gilbert White, entitled "Natural History of Selborne." It has become an English classic. Mr. White lived in a little village in Hampshire, England, and it was his habit to go out every day to study natural history. He kept mem? oranda of little events, and he wrote occasional letters to men of letters and science in a very nice style. He thus, ;in a modest way, did much for science. He studied the habits of birds and ani? mals, and sought to know the uses of the common plants aud trees. It would be well if our boys on farms made a study of the familiar objects around them'. It will make their minds acute. . The trou ble is that so familiar are the farm scenes ?to the country boy that he does not stop to inquire into them. Does he know that the familiar ant lives in colonies 'almost as well regulated as those of men, so far as pursuing the right to live is concerned ? The ant will climb a plant to find one of the light green insects that may be seen plentifully on the under !sides of rose leaves. He pricks one of 'these aphides and obtains a sort of milk. Ants have workers, slaves, aristocrats, 'queens and soldiers. Sir John Lubbock Inas written a book cn this subject from simple patience and observation, and 'what a man so great as he can apply himself to is not unworthy any one's attention. Look, too, at Thomas Ed? wards, the great Scotch.naturalist. From,, his boyhood he-has been investigating the lives and habits of insects, fishes and birds, and yet he worh; on a shoemaker's bench for a living. Great scientific men consult him. Hugh Miller, the great geologist, was a poor stone-cutter. Yet he made; geology possible to many who; were not scientific. How few of our boys study botany or pursue interesting discoveries in the plants around them. Do you know that seeds in plants are produced only by the female flower, and then only by the sprinkling on them of the powder or pollen that the bee or other insect gets on its wings from one plant and which it cannot help carrying to another? Bumble bees ana red clover are particular friends of each other. Let ja boy get a familiar book on botany and ?o to work for himself. It is the chil ren who have not the fine appliances Of study who usually dig out the most. Audubon, who became the great author? ity on birds, was of this kind. However, he could paint well. It is not uninter? esting to learn that bright colored birds usually make a nest that conceals them, and lay light eggs, while dull colored birds, having no need for concealment, usually make a more open nest and lay flark eggs. How many of our children know the names or the meanings of the earth and rocks around them, .when no farming neighborhood is without inter? esting specimens ? We knew a fairly educated young lady of twenty who did . not knew what a fern was, although she was treading on a half dozen different varieties every day. Our farmers do not interest their children in the farm life, and then wonder why their children do hot love the farm.- -N. Y. Herald. The New Party Movement* : Talk of a new party is revived on many sides. As it all comes from one party, ft shows that that one is in its own opinion hot in good form. With this talk the Eagle has had little to do. Newspapers do no not make or unmake parties. The obituaries of parties in newspapers nearly always fail to find the corpse ready. Parties grow out of public ex? igencies or die because they miss or mis 1 conceive them. The Republican organs have killed and buried the Democratic party^.every, six months for seventeen years." That organization is, however, indestructible, for it is founded on prin? ciples which are permanent, uniform and universal. They must last as long as hu? man nature endure.-?. The opposition to the sway of these principles is only a proof of the raw **' relopment of society or of the inferior: of Democrats to the full duty of the only true principle they have in custody.' Society improves and Democracy comes to power. Democrats fail to rise to the--full measure of their principles, and they go out of power while new men are voted in to administer on the same principles in another name. These men themselves fail in turn, and back come the Democrats bettered by adversity. Democracy has given the union ail the good government it ever had at whoso? ever hands it came. Bad government has resulted from infidelity to Democ? racy, whether by Republicans or Demo? crats, for in Democracy, or in the prin? ciple that government is made for man i and not man for government, resides the potentiality, of-all the. welfare which can come from political sources;.to organized society. While Democrats Save erred and lost in this country, Democracy never, has.. The opposition to it has known many names and some triumphs, but all of them have been brief, and they have all had to be made tolerable by the recourse to Democratic principles by' those who call themselves by another title. The party which is for few and precise powers, far local self-government, for liberty regulated by law, for the full? est trust in and largest freedom for the individual, and for the limitation of the cneral government to the sphere of its > elegatcd duties alone, exists in all lands; is everywhere the party of rational pro? gress and orderly liberty, of home rights and of personal rights, and is called Democratic here. To Measure Land.?A progressive farmer says the most simple way to meas? ure land is to take two slats about six feet long, sharpen one end of each, lay them upon a floor like a pair of open compasses, so that the points shall be ex? actly five feet and six inches apart; now nail the othc two ends together and a piece across the middle, so that it will look like the letter A, and the measure is finished. To measure land, place one point at the starting place, and the other also on the ground in a straight line for destination; i'tarid alongside the machine with one hand on top of it; take one step forward, tip up the point that is be? hind, swing it around (from you) on the other point and set it iu a line also. A person in this manner can measure cor? rectly as fast as he can walk. Three spaces make a rod?walk straight with? out stopping, count the spaces, divide these by three, and you have the rods. Planting Sweet Potatoes.?I often hear complaint from farmers that it is difficult to find s- isons suitable for plant? ing out sweet potato slips, and as the whole farming community will plant out slips about this time, i will give my method, which never fails. When my slips are large enough to plant, I do not wait for rain, but bed up the ground in the evening, so as to have the fresh turned earth to put the slips in. I first prepare a puddle of equal parts of fresh cow dung, clay and swamp muck, made to about the consistency of cream, and as fast as I draw the slips, dip them into the puddle and plant out. Plants thus treated will grow off without rain, if the ground has any moisture in it. ? A cow stealer in Pike county, Miss., who had been captured by a party of men, was recently punished in a novel manner. They killed the cow, removed the viscera, pkced the thief inside, with only bis head out, aud then sewed him in securely with a rope. He remained there four days, and was then taken out almost dead, having bad a difficult task in preventing the buzzards from picking out his eyes. A Priest's Artifice. - - . g .?? . All but tbe tall priest then threw their c^rds on the table, and rose, saying, "A fresh deal after church service." (It was Sunday morning.) "No, no," he said, "keep your hand, partner; I shall keep mine?it is a good one?and we shall play the game after our return. Here, Vassill; give me a towel?wet. That will do. Now my robes?there, that comb. And now go, every one of you, to your posts." Thus saying, he proceeded, with a firm step, to the churcn, by a private en? trance. As he left the room I saw him place his good hand of cards within his sacred robes, under the inside fastening. He was evidently determined not to lose sight of his trumps, and carried them off on his person into the church. I ran round to the front entrance, and was just in time to witness the commencement of the service. It is a wonder judgment did not fall on the chief priest; ana it did in a way. At one part of the service, just as he was stepping on tbe platform, he Eut his hand inside his robe to pull out is handkerchief, and as he drew it out the cards came also unbidden, and fell scattered over the altar floor. This would have paralyzed any ordinary man, but that priest never moved for a mo? ment. He looked coolly at the cards, then steadily at the people, as much as to say, "You all see that?take notice of it; I shall tell you about it by and by." He then continued the services. At the close he pointed at the cards, then beck? oned a little peasant boy, with a short skirt of coarse linen and trowsers to match, not very clean, who had been crossing and bending beside a poor peas? ant woman, his mother. "Gome here I" The boy went. Turning to the congregation, he said: "I shall give you a lesson you will not forget for some time. You see these cards lying on the floor ? Do you think I put them there for nothing ? We shall see. What is your name, my boy ?" "Peter Petrovitch." "Well, Peter Petrovitch, go and pick up one of those caids you see on the floor, and bring it to me. There, that will do. Now tell me, Peter Petrovitch, what card is this ?" "The ace of spades," said the boy, with ready knowledge. "Very good, Peter Petrovitch ; bring me another. What card is this ?" "The queen of spades," said Peter. "How well you know them, Peter! Bring me another. And what may that be?" "The ten of hearts." "That will do, Peter, the son of Peter. Now turn round and look at this picture. Can you tell me what saint it represents ?" The boy scratched at his head, then shrugged his little shoulders, lifting them up to his ears, then scratched his head again, and said: "I know not." "Now look at this one?who is this ?" The same answer. "And this?" "I can not tell." . "That will do, Peter, the son.of Peter; you may go to your mother." Turning to the people, he continued, "Do you now know for what purpose I put these cards on the floor ? Do you not think shame of yourselves? Tell me, say is it not disgraceful and scandalous that the nice white-haired little boy can tell me in a moment the name of every card in the pack, and he not know the name of one of the blessed saints? 0 shame, shame on ye, so to b: ing up the young after all the good teaching I have given you this blessed day. Don't forget it, and force me to bring cards into this holy place again. Vassill, put the other cards up, and keep them for me." So, with solemn step, he left the church to play out his interrupted game.?From sketches in Russia. Party. Far back in the remote ages, from Ar? istotle and Plato, down to Locke, Milton, Montesquieu and tbe illustrious fathers of 1776, the great problem has been agi? tated : How shall a free and just govern? ment be established and maintained among men? And the answer is, by power holding power in check. Un? checked power in government, under whatever guise or name, is despotism. Every people having interests peculiar to themselves, must have the power of pro? tecting them. If they have not, they do not rule themselves, but are ruled in a a state of political subjection. Here was the mighty rock on which the Democratic party raised its noble ramparts for lib? erty; and the great principles of free government on which this party is found? ed, like the ten commandments in morals, stand to-day solid and unshaken, for the statesmanship of the future. At this time there are millions in the United States who cherish these principles?who place their hopes on them, and will re? spond to the party organization, honestly aiming to enforce them. From the beginning of the Union, the contest arose between a restricted and a consolidated government?a free govern? ment and a despotism. Through the long struggle of seventy years, in measure after measure, many Democrats, chiefly at the North, went over to the consoli datiouists?enemies to the party in all but name; and the South tried to save herself by retiring from the foul despot? ism of consolidation. Now, by the experience in which we exist, all men can see the inevitable fate of every free government abandoning the principles of the Democratic party. Men may change in upholding them. Men may abandon them. But they live in the breasts of the people, as the true and only principles of liberty. Despot? ism and tyranny only concentrate a purer vitality. The primary principles of the Democratic party are undying and un? changeable. Its adherents are to-day a majority of the voters of the country. Bringing its principles again undefiled into the politics of the United States, it must rise up to the restoration of the Fed? eral Government to a free government? or revolutionary darkness, the sure se? quence of central despotism, must spread over the land. There is no other means of salvation.?Journal of Commerce. Not Much Ahead.?A man with the most lonesome expression an artist ever conjured up for canvass, halted at an eating stand ou the Central Market the other day, and said: "My good woman, I have been robbed of eight thousand dollars in this city." "Poor man!" she promptly sighed. "Yes, robbed of eight thousand dollars, and I am a hundred miles from home, and hungry and penniless." "And you want something to eat ?" "Yes, ma'am." "You shall have it. Sit right down here." He sat down and she gave him some coffee, a piece of meat and a biscuit. When he had finished eating, he said: "Madam, did you really believe my story?" "No, sir," she answered. "You thought I lied, did you ?" "I knew you did." "But you gave me food." "So I did. My boy found a dog yes? terday, and gave him more than he could eat. I simply gave you what was left to save filling the slop-pail." "Madam," began the man, as his mouth commenced to draw around, "ma? dam, I don't see whether I'm ahead of the dog or the dog ahead of me on this thing; but I know you are ahead of both, and I feel sick. You played it well, ana if there's any dying declaration in ray case I won't mix you in. Bye-bye, old gal. I'm failing fast,?Delro? Free Press. ?

He says: From my experience, our worn-out lands here in Barbour county will pay the owner a greater per cent, on the money invested than the fertile lands of the West and the blue grass regions of Kentucky, if he will only stick a China-berry tree in eve? ry gully, and keep two or three sheep to everv tree. The sheep will then gather the berries themselves as they fall from the tree, at the same time the roots of the tree will stop the gully from growing larger, and the sheep will tread in the sides and cause it to fill up. There is no sweeter or more palatable dish than mut? ton, and there is ready sale for wool or mutton. Mr. Editor, a flock of sheep is as good as a bank account, paying heavy dividends three times a year; first, the wool comes in April to help the farmer along; second, the mutton in the sum? mer to help finish his crop, and then where the sheep are penned, the turnip patch, to help fatten pork hogs and feed milch cows in winter. Remedy for Hog Cholera.?I send for publication to our paper a remedy for the cure of the "hog epidemic" (fever) known as hog cholera. Safe and perfect remedy in my hands for the last twelve months, and as powerful in the contest with the hog disease (fever) as was the pebble which David used in his hostile meeting with the uncircumcised de tier, of Israel. Twenty grains of calomel for a pig two or three months old. Thirty grains of calomel for a pig four months old. Forty grains of calomel for a pig ten months old. Sixty grains of calomel for a pig fifteen months old. Plan of administering: Take a small piece of meat, cut a slit or pocket, cram in the calomel, then stick the meat on the end of a sharp-pointed stick and hand it to the hog. They will eat meat when too sick to eat corn. If not well within three days, repeat. In no case but one have I had to repeat, out of more than fifty trials. A Good Use of P's.?One of our ex? changes indulges in the use of P's to ex? press what it may be healthful to all sub? scribers to newspapers to read, meditate and inwardly digest. It says: "Persons who patronize papers should pay prompt? ly, for the pecuniary prospects of the {>ress have peculiar power in pushing brward public prosperity. If the printer is paid promptly and his pocket book kept plethoric by prompt-paying patrons, he puts his pen to paper in peace; he paints his pictures of passing events in more pleasant colors, and the perusal of his paper is of more pleasure to his peo? ple. Paste this piece of proverbia! phil? osophy in some place where all persona can perceive it. Be pleased also to pon? der upon it thyself patiently and perse veringly and profitably, and persistently practice its precepts perpetually." A New Use for Ramie.?The Ramie, of whose superseding cotton there was so much talk fifteen years ago, was never utilized in that way, owing to the lack of machinery to prepare the stalks; but Mr. Peabody, in the Southern Planter, says he has found that it is an excellent and easily raised forage for horses and cows. They eat it with avidity. It can be cut at least a dozen times in the season, grows from the root without re? planting year after year, and flourishes on poor soil. The seed can be procured, we suppose, at the Patent Office. ? The very best thing to give a mean man is to give him the go-by. ?

"No, my boy; what possessed you to ask such a ques? tion ?" "Because I saw in the old family Bible that you married Anna Domini, 1886; and that isn't my mother, for her name was Sally Smith." ? A Kentucky dentist undertook to plug one of the back teeth of a favorite mule. He bored and bored until the drill struck something that seemed to lift the animal's soul right off its hinges. That's the way the coroner explained it, and since then a wild mule has been galloping up and down the country, seek? ing for fresh worlds to conquer. ? A meck-eyed married man offered, as a test at a spiritual seance, that the medium name the articles in his wife's upper bureau drawer. The medium said the spirit would repeat the contents of Webster's dictionary or any other light task, but that life was too short to at? tempt the task proposed, and the rash proposer was hustled out of the hall. ? ? "Fellow-sinners," said a preacher, I "if you were told that by going to tbe top of those stairs yonder (pointing to a rickety pair of stairs at one endjof the church) you might secure your eternal salvation, I really believe hardly any of you would try it. But let any man pro? claim that there were a hundred dollars up there for you, and I'll be bound there would be such a getting up stairs as you never did see." ? A sad story is related of a lady at a party in London, whose dress ana form were faultless. Just before dinner an ad? mirer offered her a flower from his but? ton-hole, which she fastened to her dress with a pin. As they went down to din? ner, the gentleman thought he heard a noise as though wind were escaping from a bellows. The lady had soon lost her fair proportions, and the tightly-fitting dress was most baggy. It appears that the latest fashion for thin ladies' dresses is an air-tight lining blown out to the proper size. The pin put to keep the flower in had penetrated the air-tight lining and had caused a grand collapse. ME COLUMBIA REGISTER, PUBLISHED Daily, Tri-Weekly and Weekly, at Co? lombia, S.

Henry Watterson raves against the multitude beseeching recommendations to office at his hands. He unfurls his "sandbag sheriff" and thus proclaims un? holy warfare against all politicians: "A man or woman who thinks we have enough Influence with the present Admin? istration to secure the appointment of a gauger has not sense enough to be a dog pelter. We have signed no petition, made no report, and could not and should not be induced to do so. People who want office must, for the present, go elsewhere. As soon as we are elected President everybody shall have an office, for then the millenium will have -come." VEGET?m Strikes at tue root of disease by purifying the blood, restoring tbo liver and kidneys to Leal thy action, invigorating the nervous system. Vegetine Is not a vile, nauseous compound, which simply purges tho bowels, but a safe, pleasant reniody which is sure to purify the blood, aud thereby restore the health. Vegetine Is now prescribed In cases of Scrofula and other diseases of the blood, by many of the best phy? sicians, owing to its great success iu curing all diseases of this nature. Vegetine Does not deceive invalids into false hopes bv purging and creating a Uctitious appetite, but assists nature in clearing and purifying tho whole system, leading the patient gradually to perfect health. Vegetine Was looked upon as an experiment for snmo time by some of our best physicians, but those most incredulous in regard to its merit aro now its most ardent friends and supporters. Vegetine' Says a Boston physician, "has no equal as a blood purifier. Hearing of its many wonderful cures, after all other remedies had failed, 1 vis? ited the laboratory and convinced myself of its genuine merit. It is prepared from barks, roots aud herbs, each of which is highly effective, aud they are compounded iu such a manner as to produce astonishing results." Vegetine Is acknowledged ana recommended by physi? cians and apothecaries to be the best purifier and cleanser of the blood yet discovered, and thousands speak in its praise who have been restored to health. PROOF. WHAT IS NEEDED. boston, Feb 13,1871. Mr. II. It. Stevens : Dear Sir?About one year since I found myself iu-a feeble condition from general debility. VEGETINE was strongly recommended to me by a friend who had been much benefited by its use. I procured the article, and after using sev? eral bottles, was restored to health aud discon? tinued its use. I feel quite confident that thcro is no medicine superior to it for those complaints for which it is especially prepared, and would cheerfully recommend it to those who feel that they need something to restoro them to perfect health.

DOUBLE ACTING STONE FORCE PU?P, Manufactured by J. C. Nichols & Bro., Atlanta, Ga., which brings the water pure and fresh from the bottom of the well. No slime or filth collects pn the pump or in the well. No snails, worms or green moss gets about the water. It is free from rust or other impurities, and can be operated by a small child with ease, arid brings the water fresher than any oth? er Pump. It is of stone, glazed inside and ontsidc, and never will decay. It improves the water beyond a doubt by ventilating the well, and keeping it like a moving stream of water. With a hose attached, it becomes a good fire-engine, ever ready at your door- to extinguish the flames in case of fire. It is better and cheaper than insurance.
