The Next Senate.
The terms of twenty-five Senators expire
on the 4th of March next, and the suc
cessors of seven of them have already
been elected. Senator Thurman, of Ohio,
is the only one so far who h3s been chosen
to succeed himself. From Mississippi,
B. L. Bruce, a colored man, will supplant
II. It. Pease, both Republicans. From
Maryland, William Pinckney White will
succeed William T. Hamilton, both Dem
ocrats. From California, Newton Booth,
Independent Republican, will succeed
John S. Ilager, Democrat. Connecticut,
Texas and Virginia have elected Demo
crats in place of Republican incumbents
William W. Eaton in place of William A.
Buckingham, S. B. Maxev in place of
Joseph AV. Flanagan, and R. D. Withers
in place of John F. Lewis.
Of the eighteen Senators whose suc
cessors are still to be chosen, thirteen
Gilbert of Florida, Pratt of Indiana, Ham
lin of Maine, Washburn of Massachusetts,
Chandler of Michigan, Ramsey of Minne
sota, Stewart of Nevada, Scott of Pennsyl
vania, Sprague of Rhode Island, Brown
low of Tennessee, Edmunds of Vermont,
Boreman oMVest Virginia and Carpenter
of Wisconsin are Republicans; three
Schurz of Missouri, Tipton ot Nebraska,
and Fenton of New York are Liber

and Stockton of New Jersey are Demo
crats. Of the States now represented by
Republicans, Maine, Massachusetts,
Michigan, 3Iinnesota, Nevada, Pennsyl

set down as safely Republican; Tennes

Democratic; and Florida, Indiana and
Wisconsin as doubtful. Of those repre

Impulsive Teople.
No PEOrLE are more to be pitied, and
none are more harshly judged, than those
who to natural impulsiveness add limited
means, a trood hearL and that kind of in
stinctive unselfishness which never takes
count of the difficulties or disagreeables
standing in the way of kind actions zeal
for others dwarfing consideration for
themselves, and imagination going the
same way. In their honest desire to help
where help is needed they are always
offering more than they can give and un
dertaking more than they can make good.
Being people of a lively imagination, they
sink the details in the result, and over
look the obstacles standing between them
and the fulfillment of their generous de
sires. They fancy they can clear a moun
tain at a leap and ford a sea as if it were
millpond ; but when they come to meas
ure the height of those inaccessible-look
ing crags, when they see how tne waves
are breaking against their frail boat, they
then Jiave to draw back and say that the
thing is beyond them. On which they
are accused or Jialt-neartedness, un
reliability, unfriendliness; they are
turncoats and deserters ; men of words
and not of deeds whereof the latest stage
is 44 sudden death, and death indeed !"
They blow hot and cold, and are the reeds
which, leant on, break and pierce tne
hands of the leaner. No one remembers
how ardent and how true was the kindly
impulse which placed goods and service
at the feet of the one in need ; how desire
ran before power, and how 44 cannot" has
been forced to wait upon 44 1 would."
Had the thing been possible with only an
ordinary . amount of sell-sacrifice it
would have been done; but when it came
to the sacrifice of may be more than the
thing was relatively worth, and of more
than the friend could afford, then the
merest instinct of self-preservation,
acked by the dictates of common sense,
".epped in. The offer, which was to give
one a few hours' pleasure at the cost of
days of damage and weeks of pinching or
pressure to the other, is withdrawn vi
tuperation, the loss of the warmest strain
of friendship and the casting of scornful
proverbs notwithstanding. And in gen
eral the withdrawal is the right thing.
It is impossible for some people to see
or hear of distress in any form without
longing to relieve it. And from longing
to offering it is only the passage of a
breath. Is a friend ill? 44 Let me sit up
with him to-night." Willingly. Your
sitting up to-Hight will give ease and a
good spell of rest to the tired watch
ers, and save the substitute standing re
luctantly in the gap. Let us state, how
ever, that the substitute is a stout and
sturdy, well-conditioned person who has
the strength of a man and can bear any
amount of fatigue without failing ; or may
be a person of leisure, with nothing on
earth to do but amuse herself and bury
her hours with as much enjoyment and
little ennui as is compatible with propri
ety. If she watches through the night
she can sleep through the day, and by six
o'clock sext evening will be as blithe as a
bird and as fresh as a daisy. You, on
the eontrary, are a frail, fatigued little
woman with a large family and the afflic
tion of neuralgia. Every hour of your
day is occupied with work that can
neither be delegated nor laid aside.
You have your lessons to give, your arti
cle to write, your part to study, even your
puddings to make and your children's
mouths to feed generally. But you are a
warm-hearted, impulsive little woman,
worn-out atom as you are, and you offer
great things out of your great soul, which
when searched for are not to be found
within the compass of your small body.
Your husband, who is not impulsive, aud
whose idea of masculine duty includes
taking care of you, even against your
wili, iaughs you and your Quixotic offer
to scorn when he hears of it. He will
have none of this folly, he Bays trench
antly; you have enough to do with your
own affairs, and he will not suffer you to
add your neighbor's load to your own.
Forthwith your sick friend's household is
informed that you are a defaulter, and
that the well-constituted substitute must
take your place; that you cannot receive
the children; that you cannot do this or
do that as you had offered when you
come to consider it your strength was not
sufficient, and your husband would not
allow it From that hour you have lost
your standing among them, and are
ranked with those who make grand pro
fessions, then throw over the wretched
dupes who trust to them, and at the
eleventh hour back out of the agreement.
Nothing can be a more untrue way of
putting it. lou neither onered lor brag
nor drew back for selfishness. The first
was honest sympathy and the second in
capacity; and the sole fault you commit
ted was letting your kindly impulse run
away with your judgment and your de
sire to be oi use obscure your power of
calculation.
These are kindly impulses dealing
with insufficient working power, conse
quently always sharing the fate of Icarus
and coming to the ground because of
aeiective "attachments." Ana or the two,
the people who offer and cannot fulfill,
and the people who trust in that offer
and are disappointed, we confess we pity
the former the more always presuppos
ing absolute sincerity and the simplicity
of desire. They -must suffer divers tor
ments of which the humiliating confes
sion that they have grossly miscalculated
their resources, on the one hand, and the
pain of having still to see the sorrow, the
misery, the privation they have started
forward to alleviate on the other are
about equal in grievous intensity. Both
together they may be certainly taken to
outweigh the annoyance of having
to go on again after we had
thought to have made a pleasant
little halt in the wearisome journey of
disaster of having to carry one's heavy
burden unrelieyed, after we had hoped to
have shifted it for a spell to friendly
shoulders voluntarily offered for the por
terage. Doubtless this annoyance, this
disappointment, is bad to bear; and for
that reason the impulsive should be more
careful than they are to restrain their
flights of charitable fancy, and be less
prodigal of their offers of rich and loving
help grounded on desire and not on
power. It is ill asking a hungry man to
a naked board, but all the good-will in the
world will not cover it with food when
there is no food in the cupboard. It would
have been substantially kinder, then, to"
have left the poor, famished creature to
the elastic mercy of chance than to bring
him as you have into a barren certainty,
though backed by the most luxuriant set
ting of benevolent intentions. Benevo
lent intentions are like the fine words
offered in lieu of butter when parsnips
abound ; and the Barmecide who gave a
feast quenched no thirst and satisfied no
hunger for all his verbal array of spark
ling wines and luscious food.
If impulses of loving generosity are ap
to come to grief, the impulses of unfriendt
ly wrath are still more sure to find evil
issues. It is strange how often an un
kind impulse proves itself untrue. The
suspicious fear, the passionate denuncia
tion, the vague abhorrence, if acted on, are
almost certain to be found wrong before
the thing is done with, and many an im
pulsive hater, hitting hard and thinking
he or she is hitting righteously, has had
cause to regret to the last day of life the
incautious acceptance of belief as truth,
and the unfriendly "sincerity" which
gave utterance to the same. Without be
ing sentimental or sickly, there is no ques
tion that the more generous the judgment
the more likely it Is to be true, and the
fewer the hard words we have uttered the
lesffwe shall have wherewith to reproach
ourselves when we come to measure the
amount of unmerited mischief we have
done our fellow-men. Undoubtedly, the
less we yield to unfriendly impulses, the
more safely we shall walk and the more
surely we shall be right. The Queen.
Truthfulness and Unselfishness.
Ok all people in the world the 44 truth
ful" are the most beloved. There is
something so beautiful in truth, it is bo
dear to every human heart, that a person
who is simply true gains respect, rever
ence and love without an effort. No
matter for polish, a roughly truthful per
son is like an uncut diamond ; you sus
pect the radiance if you see it not, and
give it your appreciation. Some people
are morally true and intellectually false;
the heart is true, the intellect is bewildered ;
they are not despised, the heart shines
out; but a nature that is as true as steel,
where heart and mind are of one accord,
is a nobleman in his own right; no one
can take away his peerless attraction.
But of all the faults which are 44 tolera
ble, and not to be endured," is that latent
malice and "all uncharitableness" which
wears the mask of truth and assumes a
tone of frankness in order to be disagreea
ble. Real truth may be rough, but is
seldom unkind. That which apes it, and
is not itself, is unkind, and arrogant, and
hurtful. That which people call " speak
ing one's mind," telling you 44 your faults
for your own good," is often but a selfish
expression of personal envy or malice.
Self-consciousness, when it takes on
the form of bragging, cannot be said to
be a very attractive vice. The man who
tells you directly or indirectly of his
great and good actions, his large estates,
his trood pictures, his fine horses; or, in
fact," while he illuminates anything
which is his, is not placing him
self in a fascinating attitude. And it is
astonishing how common this is I "To
become forgetful of others and only con
scious ot yourself" is one definition of
insanity ; and it is curious mat a sane per
son can be a braggart. For one moment
let him say to himself an imaginary
speech having 44 1 " as its basis, as com
ing from some one else, and he will feel
the bad effects of the ego as seen from
the other side.
Personal unselfishness covers a multi
tude of sins. What a cloak for all weath
ers, all journe3's, is this splendid garment!
How the wearer of it is sought as a com
panion for a walk or for a voyage! how
delightful is he in the family circle! what
a reflex of our own moods, be they grave
or gay ! Such characters, informed and
ennobled, become the real saints of the
world; weakened or debased, they are
still dear to us ; an unselfish person, be
he saint or sinner, in a palace or a prison,
has friends and lovers, which the self
conscious person fails to gain, even
though in his determined walk in his
premeditated course he may move our
respect, our admiration, and even our
envy ; he does not gain our love.
And in this personal unselfishness we
recognize one immortal flower of para
dise, which throws its fragrance all
around it. IU is not enough, alone, to
save a character alas! it has sometimes
helped to betray it but of its beauty and
charm there can be no doubL How much
do we owe to the " sweet-tempered," the
44 cheerful," the 44 unselfish" members of
our families! and our acquaintance, who
have lighted up our darke3t hours, who
come to us like strains ot music, and of
whom we can scarcely think but with a
grateful smile! Sometimes such a char
acter has been to us a sort of wandering
angel ; we have not known what it was to
us, until it had taken its flight; in other
and happier instances it remains to us a
perpetual benediction. Appleton's Jour
nal. Preventives of Hydrophobia.
A meetino of the Medical Society of
the County of New York was held last
evening at the College of Physicians and
Surgeons. A very interesting paper oi
" Hydrophobia: Its History and the Sani
tary Measures lor Its Prevention," was
read by Dr. Charles P. Russell. He spoke
in detail of the ravages of this disease in
the various parts of the world from its
earliest mention, and followed this with
many comparative statements. Its origin
among brutes was, he said, still an object
of discussion. - Man was only liable to it
from inoculation. Many superstitions as
to its origin among animals were shown
to be without foundation, and there was
every reason to believe that in some coun
tries among animals the disease often as
sumed an epidemic form. The popular
opinion regarding "dog-days," and that
in summer there was greater liability of
mad dogs, was a false one. Weather had
no tendency to this effect. No animal
was exempt from it, and it was easily
transmitted to mankind, and even from
an afflicted man to the animal. Cauter
ization of the wound was found to be the
only successful remedy. He described at
some length the symptoms and different
stages of hydrophobia in the dog, and
spoke of the danger experienced in their
careless fondling. As a preventive, all
worthless curs should be destroyed, he
said, as among them the disease seemed
to originate. Muzzles he considered a
roost pernicious contrivance. Their pur
pose was but half served at best, and the
danger in case of disease increased from
their removal from the dog when at home.
In conclusion, he said every dog mani
festing any unusual symptoms of disease
should be carefully attended to and strict
ly quarantined until recovery was sure.
If. Y. Tribune, May 26.
Asparagus.
We advise all our friends who own a
garden or farm to plant a bed of this most
delicious vegetable. There is no crop
more sure, and no vegetable more palata
ble at the same season of the year. Once
planted it continues to yield freely for
many years, and if well cared for will
produce large and fine stalks. There are
said to be several varieties; we think that
the soil and treatment make the difference
rather than the variety. Formerly the
one or two year old roots were set
quite deeply, say one foot deep in the
trenches; but within a few years the prac
tice has somewhat changed, as it cannot
be had so early by deep planting. We
should not advise planting it more than
four or six inches deep, preferring on
many soils four inches. The young
plants should not be covered more than
two inches deep when set, or they will be
likely to decay. The earth can be drawn
in gradually during the summer. The
rows may be three and a half or four feet
apart, and the plants in the row about a
foot apart. Latterly some of the garden
ers have adopted the plan of planting in
stools some two feet apart, and treating
these stools as a stool or hill of rhubarb.
We doubt not larger stalks can be raised
in this way than by the old method. Salt
may be used to advjntage on the beds.
We have seen salt applied so freely as to
cause the soil to turn red and to prevent
all weeds from growing, yet the aspara
gus would flourish finely. Boston Trans

Small Horses. The Southern Farmer
says : 44 The arguments may be all in favor
of great size, but the facts are all the
other way. Large horses are more liable
to stumble and be lame than those of the
middle size. They are clumsy, and can
not fill themselves so quick. There is
nothing more surprising to Western men
than to visit Montreal and see the small
but stout Canadian horses hauling large
two-seated carriages full of people with
apparent ease. A horse weighing 900
pounds in Maine takes a Chase or Con
cord wagon, with two men in it, and
makes fifty or sixty miles a day overhilis
that might have terrified Hannibal. But
their weight is where it ought to be. It is
compact, and not lying around loose. It
is muscle, not pulp, that we want in a

How to Destroy Potato Bugs. I
planted five bushels of Early Rose pota
toes, and put a shoveltul ot old manure in
each hill as soon as the sprouts came
through the ground. The striped bugs
made their appearance, and looked as
though they would take the crop. I com
menced picking off the bugs and de
stroying them. For some time I thought
the bugs increased, and was on the point
of giving up the crop, but I continued in
destroying the bugs. A pair of pincers
can be used to advantage you can de
stroy the bugs as soon as you touch them,
and when you discover their eggs you
can destroy them also. I soon got the
advantage of the bucs, and raised a fine
crop of potatoes. This seems a slow way.
but it is a sure one. Potatoes selling at
$1.50 per bushel, it will pay for the extra
pains and trouble" Potatoes or no pota

Pie-Plant Pies. Never stew your pie
plant before making your pies. Peel the
stems of rhubarb and slice them in half
inch lengths, holding several stems in the
hand at one time. With these fill the pie,
sweeten it generously about the same as
for a lemon pie, a small teacupful of
sugar for a medium sized pie moisten
with a great-spoonful of water, dust over
this a little dry Hour to thicken the juice
a little, cover it with the upper crust and
bake it slowly and thoroughly. Such a
pie is too rich for some stomachs, and
there is a way of dispensing with part of
the sugar without having the pie loo
sour. Not by the use of soda; no, in
deed! But pour boiling water over your
sliced rhubarb, letting it stand ten or fif
teen minutes. Pour this off and make
your pies of the rhubarb, with less sugar.
If you stew the pie-plant for sauce, you
can pour off a part of the juice before it
is done, using it to make jelly if you
like, and supply its place with more
water, thus economizing sugar. Western

Birds and Animals Destroying Seed.
In the East, and in some of the wooded
portions of the West and South, crows are
regarded as a great nuisance from their
propensity for pulling corn. In the
prairie regions the crow-blackbird is re
garded as tully a match for the crow. Jn
all this but little account is taken of their
value to the husbandman as the destroyer
of noxious insects which, but for these
and other larva-eating birds, would utter
ly destroy the hopes of the farmer. Va
rious remedies have been from time to
time advised to prevent birds from pull
ing corn after being planted, as tarring
and saturating with various nauseous sub
stances. Unfortunately, in the West,
where nearly all the corn is planted by
machinery, this medicating sadly inter.
feres with the proper planting ot the seed.
"Where the plowing of land continues
through and beyond planting time but
little difficulty is experienced, for these
birds will not leave the pursuit of
larvae for corn. It is only when in
sects are scarce that they seek grain. One
of the easiest means we know to prevent
this pulling of corn, when birds seem
so inclined, is to scatter soaked corn in
the fields. This will be eaten by the
birds and the planted corn will be left.
Kolling the land over the corn is also
beneficial. Birds are often blamed for
the depredations of gophers, ground
squirrels and mice. These dig down and
take out the grain, birds only pull the
grain after it is up. The verminous ani
mals not only eat the grain before sprout
ing but after it comes up, digging down
along the germ until they find the grain
After all, these little animals are of far
greater damage to our newly-planted
crops than birds, although these last, poor
things, have to bear the most of the blame.
Moles, on the other hand, are not in
jurious except in so far as they lift the
soil under growing plants in their search
for insects, since they are not herbivorous,
but mice often follow in their track and
eat tubers and roots, for which the poor
moles like the birds, are often unjustly
blamed. Western Rural.
One of the hands engaged in unloading
a barge in Davenport, Iowa, the other day
was accidentally knocked into the water.
After making frantic exertions to get out,
and becoming exhausted, he concluded
that there was no other alternative but to
go down. This he concluded to do in
style, and in straightening himself his
feet struck bottom. This gave him fresh
hope, and he stood up, astonished to find
that the water was only a couple of feet
deep.

SacccM Baaed Upon Merit.
It is a nubject of general remark among
both wholesale and retail druggists that no
medicine introduced to the American public
has ever gained such a popularity and met
with so large a sale in all parts of the land, in
the same length of time, as Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. This cannot depend upon
its having been more largely advertised than
any other medicine, as such is not the case.
The correct explanation, we think, is found
in the fact that this medicine produces the
most wonderful and perfect cures of very bad
cases of bronchial, throat and lung diseases,
is undoubtedly the most perfect and efficient
remedy for all kinds of coughs that has ever
been introduced to the public, and at the same
time possesses the greatest of blood-purifying
and strengthening properties that medical
science has been able to produce, thus render
ing it a sovereign remedy not only in the cure
of Consumption, Bronchitis, Hoarseness and
Coughs, but also for all diseases of the liver
and blood, as scrofulous diseases, blotches,
rough skin, pimples, black specks and discol
orations. It has, therefore, a wide range of
application and usefulness, and it not only
gives the most perfect satisfaction to all who
use it, but far exceeds the expectations of the
most sanguine, thus eliciting the loudest
praise, and making permanent living advertis
ing mediums of all who use it. For these
reasons it is that there is not perhaps a drug
gist in all the vast domain of this continent
who tries to please his customers and supply
their wants that docs not keep and sell large
quantities of this most valuable medicine.
Jesup, Iowa, May 5, 1873.
Dr. IL V. Pierce:
Dear Sir We take pleasure in 6aying that
your Medicines have told entirely beyond our
expectations. We regard them as the best
medicines extant, and hear them spoken of
in the highest terms of praise.
R. L. Smith & Co.
Through, all tiie ages of study and
investigation which have marked the
path of scientific discovery, one especial
ly alluring object has tempted the in
quiries and speculations of philosophers.
It is what the wizards and witches ot
olden time, the jugglers of India, sooth
sayers of Arabia, Magi of Egypt, necro
mancers of Turkey and the Orient, and
alchemists of civilized Europe have
sought, but Boucht in vain a vegetable
non-poisonous Elixir, which, by cleansing
the blood, removing from the system ail
impurities, strengthening the nerves, the
muscles and the brain, and vitalizing
every fiber of the system, should bid de
fiance to the corroding hand of disease.
Dr. Walker, of California, discovered
an herb, the properties of which, if they
do not entirely fulfill all the conditions
above mentioned, have at least proved
themselves efficacious in all of them; this
herb Doctor Walker has made an ingre
dient in his famous Vixkoar Bitters,
which can be obtained of any wholesale
druggist throughout the country. 44
A deranged stomach and impure blood
force human beings into a melancholy state;
they do not enjoy life and are not in a lit con
dition to do business successfully. One of
the best remedies extant is Vegetine, which
has acquired a reputation as wide an the
country itself, and is extensively known all
over the globe. This remedy has been exten
sively advertised, but its cures have sold it at
a more rapid rate than the newspapers. The
latter serve to bring it to public notice, but
like all medicines or inventions it has been
found to stand the test of trial and time, and
itt-Jrapid sale shows how strong a hold it has
gained.
WiLnorr's Toxic! A Safe, Sure, and
Scientific Cure ! The unprecedented sale
of this world-renowned medicine proves in
contestibly that no remedy has superseded the
use of this reliable Tonic. No spleen has
been found so hard as not to yield to its soft
ening influence, and no liver so hypcrirophied
as not to give up its long-retained bilious 6e-
cretions, and no Chill or Fever has yet refused
to fall into line. Wheelock, Fixlait & Co.,

The peopie of the United States have been bum.
Dueled with all kinds of patent mcUicincs. quacks
and impostors, for the pant few years. In s most
shameful manner. The writer of the follow lug Uone
of the victims, and wishes to present a very plain case.
Believing that by cleansing the blood was the ouiy
true way of banishing disease, and being tor years a
er.at sufferer from weakness, lung disease and a
scrofulous affection, and after trying many kinds of
patent medicines and the most eminent phvMcians, l
commenced doctoring myself, and at last discovered
a lllood Searcher, or Root Hitters, winch not only
cave me Immediate relief , but etlected a complete
lure. I then, feeling confident that my Uiscovery
possessed wonderful healing virtues, prepared a
quantity of lUtters.and was In the habit of giving
them away to the sick and suiTering. I f o mT tlicy
effected the most miraculous cure;, not only curing
Scrofula and Consumption of the Lungs, out all d in
cases caused from humors In the blood. At last -he
demand became so great I found myself called upon
to send Bitters to allparta of the continent, and I was
compelled to establish a laboratory for the purpose
of compounding and putting them up In large quanti
ties for use. I was at flrst backward In presenting
either myself or my discovery to the public, not being
a patent-meillclne man, but 1 am getting bravely over
that. I am now supplying thousands of drupgistsand
storekeepers w ith my Hoot Bitters o sell again, and
it is mi desire and determination to place the same
within the reach of every altlictert man, woman r.nd

are strictly a medicinal preparation, prepared from
