gland. - - : ;
Atthelastassi7.es in Liverpool no loss
than five men were convicted of garrote
robrieries, three of whom Mere ordered to
receive twenty lashes each, one to receive
twenty-five, and the fifth on count ol
his youth, we suppose was to hare thirty
etrokes with, the birch rod. The latter
received his strokes pome time ago; the
man who was to pet twenty-five lashes was
spared the infliction on account of ill
heulth, and the three other men duly re
ceived their score each yesterday.
The hour fixed for the flowing was
11:45. The punishment was given,, as
usual, in the central corridorof the prison,
Hnd, in anticipation of it, all those prison
ers who are in jail, convicted of violence,
were brought out of their cells and sta
tioned in the circular galleries above,
from which they could command a full
view of the flogging, the object of the vis
iting Justices in making this arrangement
being, as before, that it might have a de
terring effect. In the meantime the three
men who were to be flogged were brought
out, and each of them placed facing a
wooden frame, to which he was, after tak
ing olF his upper clothing, securely
fastened, hand and foot. The two men,
Burns and Itigby, were of comparatively
unall stature, but powerfully built, with
plenty of muscle and sinew, and appeared
to await their punishment w ith consider
able indifference.
The youth, Wafer, was the tallest of the
three, but slim in ljody, and seemed likely
to suffer the most. As on a previous oc
casion, when several men were flogged on
one day, the arrangement M as made that
the punishment of the three men should
take place at the sumo time, each man to
Ihj flogged bv a separate oflicer, and the
strokes to fail upon one prisoner at a time
in succession, until each had received his
quota. The frames were numbered A, JJ,
and C, and as Deputy-Governor Bisliop
hang out A 1, B 1, C 1, and so on, the lash
was brought down on the men's backs
and shoulders in regular order, until the
twenty rounds had leen completed. The
order in which the three men were placed
formed a crescent, liurns being placed at
one corner, Itigby at the other, and Wafer
in the center.
The man who had to administer the
flogging to Burns lacked neither strength
nor willingness to let the lash be felt, and
Burns, although he said very little beyond
giving utterance to a short exclamation
during the first few strokes, and complain
ing that he was being 6truck too high
the ends of some of the tails once or twice
in the beginning catching him on the neck
and chest undoubtedly suffered most
The man who flogged certainly miscalcu
lated his distance, and hence the cause of
the complaint made by Burns, who at one
time shrieked out, " It's all round my
neck do you call that on my back?"
Rigby endured his castigation well, and
said nothing more than "Oh!" once or
twice, and atone time asked to be struck
fair on the back. The blows in his case
were more lightly laid on than in that of
Burns, but they seemed to have quite as
much effect, causing him to shake and
shiver a good deal.
lie was thankful, however, when the
cod came, and when the last stroke fell he
remarked that that was what the cobbler
called the last- Wafer was less able than
either of the other two men to bear the
flogging, and after the first stroke or two
he In-gan to howl and cry and continued
to do so until the end. When the three
men were released their backs were in a
terribly lacerated state, their right shoul
ders being all livid, cut and bleeding.
Kigby appeareU to take the matter coolly
when he was being released and turned
round and laughed and grinned at the
prisoners standing in the galleries above,
but his bleeding back belied the genuine
ness of h is smiles. Burns marched away
seemingly unconcerned, chewing a piece
of lead or other substance with which he
had fortified himself to sustain his cour
age before he was tied up.
Wafer was a piteous-looking object and
was led away crying. The prisoners who
witnessed the flogging from alKve did not
apiear to be much moved by the specta
cle with the exception of one, a youth.
who was led away in an almost fainting
state. The cat-o'-ninc-tails used on this
occasion were much more formidable
wc.jons than those heretofore employed.
Formerly the "cats" were made in the
prison, but yesterday whips marked with
the Government stamp were brought into
requisition, the handles of which are
longer and thicker and the cords longer
also than the old cat o-nine-tails. The
flogging only occupied about ten minutes.

Alpine Excursions.
Anne Brewster says in a letter to the
Philadelphia liulletin: "There are many
persons who are unhappily ignorant of
the delights and varieties of Alpine ex
cursions; they imagine them to be all
alike and all equally tiresome. They call
our raptures nonsense and our recitals of
what we have actually seen and felt
flights of imagination. We can only pity
them. They are as the deaf and blind,
and are unbelieving because of their in
capabilities. Alpine courses are very
fatiguing; you return with every atom of
your body tingling, bruised feet, probably
severe contusions; your face blistered and
skinned, caused by the reflection of the
sun on the ice; every drop of blood in
your veins is dancing and bubbling. You
go to bed tired from the crown of j-our
head to the sole of jour feet, and wonder
if it could be ossille for you to fall to
pieces, so thoroughly shaken up and un
hinged is your mortal frame. But some
thing inside of you feels splendidly. Al
pine courses may weary the body, but
they delight and fortify mind, imagina
tion and spirit. I never shall forget the
physical pain and keen spiritual enjoy
ment I felt once when the guides allowed
me to throw myself down on the turf of a
superb fir and pine forest near the Nan,
Berrant during a rapid, steep and weary
ing descent we were making on foot one
August afternoon. The grass was thick
with flowers: lilac digitals, golden arnica,
rosa saxifrage, Alpine veronica genipet
even little chrysanthemums, the dark gar
net vanilla and Alpine roses. 1 gathered
great handfuls and flung them up into the
air. Life. never had for me a happier,
purer moment. There was a sense of ex
altation, an exulting emotion that nothing
else gives. There was no sorrow . worth
thinking of, no wrong worth remember
ing, no care but was folly. It is this ex
alted feeling that is the secret cause of the
fascination of Alpine traveling. If you
experience it once it is irresistible. No
juice that the grape ever yielded possesses
the exhilarating power that is in the air
you breathe on a solitary glacier, or the
summit of a high Alp. The air far sur
passes wine of Cyprus or Xeres. It gives
a godlike inebriation, and its to-morrow is
one of health and lightness of heart"
Advertising For a Wife.

The Double Murder at Clinton, La.
Yesterday we received a brief letter
from a colored man in Louisiana. " The
letter inclosed an account of the murder
Ol John Gair and his sister-in-law by the
mob of White-League ruffians in East Fe
liciaua, La. J?ay9 the writer:'
You cc how the Democrats treat Republi
cans down here. I ask you, in GoI'e name,
to raise jour voico In our behalf.
The account inclosed, cut from the New
Orleans papers, shows that Gair and his
istcr-in-law were accused of poisoning
one Dr. Sanders, of Ka.st Feliciana. They
were taken from the hands of the officer
by an armed liody of disguised, men, and
Gair shot to death, while his sister-in-law
was hung to a tree. It bccms, however,
that Sanders, the man reported poisoned,
is perfect ij irell, and was known to lie so
when this double murder was committed.
The secret of Gail's "taking oil"" is ex
plained by the fact that he was a promi
nent Republican and very influential with
his people. -Says the New Orleans Iltpub
licnn :
The shooting of Mr. Oair i, no doubt. In
pursuance of the general policy inaugurated
in Mississippi sonic months ago, and in East
Feliciana few weeks go, to drive out
Kcpublli Hii officials and leaders; to demoral
ize the party, and mnke the tmlli united for
the Democratic candidate for the Presidency
in 1T'. " Peaceably, if we can, and forci
bly, if we must," seems lo be the motto
along the Democratic line, and poortiair has
become a victim to this inexorable decree.
Nearly all the officials of East Feliciana
have been driven out, and an armed organ
ization rules supreme.
Since writing the above we have re
ceived a ringing letter from & correspnnd
dent at. Clinton, La. the scene of the re
cent outrages - which gives the full par
ticulars of thi3 brutal murder. The doc
tor reported poisoned was not even sick,
and while our corresondent wa3 writing
walked past the window, as usual. And
yet two persons have leen assassinated to
avenge bis poisoning! A very pretty state
of things exists at Clinton. The Judge
has been compelled to adjourn court, the
Sheriff being shot while discharging his
duties, and the place seems given up to
the reign of the organized ruffians who
infest that pai t of the State. Vhicago In-ter-Ocean,

A Democratic Straw. ,.
Many influential Democrats arc in favoj
of paying the South for every slave set
free by the result of the rebellion. They
defend this policy of paying for slave
property on the grounds of justice, and
pledge their influence to have it enacted
into a law if the Democratic party obtains
the control of the Government.
As straws show which way the w ind
blows, so private opinions, publicly ex
pressed, oftentimes show the current of
sentiment prevailing in party organiza
tions. Several leading Democrats in the
South have brought this subject of paying
lor slave property clearly before their con
stituents, and have excited hopes which
must be gratified or doomed to bitter dis
appointment. Capt. Camin Patteson is the Democratic
candidate for Senatorial honors in the
Third Virginian District. He has issued
an address to the citizens of Buckingham
County, in which he uses the following
language:
"Of course I cannot say that sending
me to the Legislature would facilitate you
in getting pay for your slaves; but this
much I do say: I never intend to relax my
efforts to secure this laudable object. The
United States Government owes us the
value of every one that we owned on the
yth of April, 18(5.1, and I would advise
every slaveholder to record the names and
ages of each one he possessed, with an ap
proximate valuation. This is not idle
advice, as I firmly believe we will get
some compensation some of these days."
This is a single straw, but thousands
could be gathered of a like nature. In
certain sections of the South the names,
ages and personal description of slaves
have been preserved for the very purpose
indicated by Capt. Patteson. There is no
doubt but Southern Democracy will favor
this policy. This wing of the party has
always controlled Democracy, so that it
may reasonably be expected that the pay
ment for slave property will become part
of the Democratic programme wlicii
once in power.
Are the people ready for this additional
drain upon their resources? If they are,
they should vote the Democratic ticket. If
they are not in favor of plundering the
nation for the benefit of its former slave
holders, they must not fail to cast their '
votes for the Republican party. Repub
licanism means public, honesty; good faith,
with the nation ; justice to all men. Under
its control not one dollar shall ever be
paid lor slave property. llepublic Maga
zine. CH?? In the general rejoicing over the
great Republican victories in Ohio, Iowa
and Nebraska, the little victory in New
ark, N. J., on the same day, ought not to
be forgotten. It was in every way as re
markable as the greater ones. The Re
publican candidate for 3Iayor has a ma
jority of 3,400, the highest ever given a
.Mayoralty candidate in that city, and of
the fifteen wards in the city the Republicans
captured thirteen. The total vote was 4,000
greater than in the city election two years
ago. llic ellectot the unexpected iieput
lican victory is a staggering blow to the
Democracy. Before the election there
was a fierce contest for the nomination of
Sheriff" on the Democratic ticket, but since
last Tuesday nearly all the prominent
candidates liave dropped out, and don't
care to be mentioned in connection with
the office at all. The Democratic, party
all over the State look upon the Newark
election as a bad omen for them in the
State election next month, and the Repub

The English Hangman.'
A Paris Journalist claims to have inter
viewed "M. Marwood," the English hang
man and the successor of Calcraft " Cal
craft," he says, "was a gentleman.
Short in stature, scanty in vestments, his
figure humble as a beaten dog, M. Mar
wood has the air of a badly-paid solicitor'
clerk. He has an enticing expression, and
he always appears benign, kind and easy
going. Like Calcraft, he dresses himself
in garments made by the most fashionable
tailors of London; his clothes arc black,
and, being too large, give him a melan
choly air. From an invariable obsequi
ousness toward Sheriffs, journalists,
priests, and, in short, all those who have
business with him, he changes his tone to
ward the condemned. He draws himself
up, the pupils of his little gray eyes seem
illumed as by a flame, he swaggers and
regards the condemned with an imposing
air which seems to say: 'Yes, it is I, M.
Marwood. You see that I am not fat;
very well, with this excellent rope, of
which I hold one end while I pJace the
other round the neck of a man, 1 just dis
patch this man whose life is forfeited. It
is I who have the honor and the talent to
do this. 1, Mr. Marwood, Esq!' How
ever, ho shows the greatest humanity and
the greatest celerity during executions,
and it is very curious to see hi 111 at those
moments. This little, miserable man is
so terrible at his work that he becomes
positively frightful. Th3 thing done, the
obsequious solicitor's clerk reappears, but
the obsequiousness is mingled with
haughtiness. M. Marwood willingly ex
plains to journalists his manner of pro
cedure, aud he becomes very cadaverous
when he makes his compliments. Here
are some details of his conversation:
"'Is it long, 31. 3Iarwood, since you
entertained the idea of succeeding Cal
craft?' "Always, 6ir;butlwas not in that
line of business; I was in commerce. But
I never missed an execution. I have
spent whole nights in seeing them. I have
even been discharged from three situations
because I was obliged to play truant for
tw o days in order not to lose an execution.
During this time I studied.'
" hat did you study ?'
" ' I studied the procedure of Calcraft,
and I said to myself that he hanged with
a rope too short. I remarked that his
criminals were never killed at a blow, be
cause they did not receive a sufficient
shock. Then his ropes were so thin that
they almost decapitated the patient (!). It
was as bad as using the guillotine.'
" They say that you do not agree with
the guillotine, 31. Marwood ?'
" ' Certainly not; and it does not agree
with me. We have a right to kill a man,
but we have no right to separate him in
two. Besides, it is of no consequence
that the guillotine works better. It is a
mechanical ' affair, and to do the thing
properly is a work of art. I tell you, then,
that one day 1 discussed my theories with
31. Calcraft.'
" ' And what did 3L Calcraft say ?
" ' He first ordered me out of the door
in contempt. However, after he had re
flected for he was an intelligent man,
though somewhat obstinate " You arc
the man of the future, Marwood," he said
to me, with a melancholy air. " You will
be the chief of the new school! But I I
am too old to renounce the traditions of
my life. 3Iy old hands only know how to
hang properly with a ropeshortand thin!"
After that day he frequently asked me to
assist him. Some time since I succeeded
him.'
" ' And how much money do you make
a year ?'
" Four or five hundred pounds sterling,
according to whether business is slack or
heavy. Ve are otherwise very happy.'
" ' You have a family ?'
" Here the voice of 31. 3Iarwood became
churlish.
" ' I must ask you, sir, not to speak of
Mistress 3Iarwood. An Englishman
would not have put so indiscreet a ques
tion.' " He finished, however, in softer tones,
and when our special was taking leave of
him he presented him with a hanging
rope." Snakes In Southern Africa.
The puff-adder is a most dangerous
snake, being of the color of the dead
leaves on which he is fond of curling him
self up, and of so sluggish and sleepy a
nature that he w ill not trouble himself to
move out of one's way; it is difficult to
always avoid treading on him. His bite
is most deadly, and he has the most dan
gerous habit of striking backward, not
forward like other snakes. A few jeople
have, I believe, recovered - from the effect
of a puff-adder's bite, but very few ; they
generally die in about a quarter of an
hour, going quietly to sleep. The only
chancof a cure is to keep constantly
walking, and to drink quantities of raw
brandy, and to take doses of eau-de-luce.
When the Kaffirs kill a snake they take
some of the venom from its head, which
they carry in a little bag round their
necks, and, if bitten, swallow a little,
which they say is a certain cure. There
is even a worse snake in Natal than the
puff-adder fortunately a rare one the
black iinamba, one of the very few that
will venture an attack without provoca
tion. 31auy people say that it will even
follow a person for miles; but I rather
doubt this, unless the person's road hap
pens to run between It and its home, and
then I dare say it would do so. Perhaps
every one does not know that cats are
snake-proof. A bite has no effect on
them ; we had an opportunity of proving
this. A short time alter we came to Oak
ham wc were out strolling about, looking
at our lew possessions, when we were
startled by hearing a peculiar shriek from
one ot the children, evidently a scream of
terror. Wc rushed up to the house and
into the dining-room, whence the sounds
came, and there was our little boy in a
frantic state of fright, with a long, green
imamba wriggling about on the floor in
front of him, engaged in a fierce tusscl
with a large tortoise-shell cat, one we had
brought from the town. Which would
have got the best of it had they been left
to fight it out I cannot saj-, for the coolie
rushed in and killed the snake. The cat
had bitten out one of its eyes, and in re
turn had got a wound on its face that
swelled up" to an enormous size; but be
yond that he seemed none the worse for
his encounter, and in a few days puss was
quite himself again; and we felt very
grateful to him ever after for having, in all
probability, saved our little boy's life.

How to ilavc Early Fruits and Vege
tables. Early fruits or vegetables are a luxury
which can be enjoyed by all who possess
a small plot of ground, bj' devoting a few
hours to the garden. To succeed, in the
first place we should procure the earliest
variety of seed, and bj saving for next
year's planting the seed of the first fruit
that ripens it can be brought to ripening
in less time every succeeding year, pro
vided the season is favorable. For in
stance, twenty years ago it was difficult to
get my melons ripe before flie fall frost,
and some years I only succeeded by cover
ing them on frosty nights; but by saving
for planting the seed of the earliest ripe
fruits I have succeeded inhavingnice ripe
musk-melons by the loth of August and
watermelons a few days later. .For early
vegetables I generally plant the seed in the
ground where they are to grow as early as
the state of the soil will permit in the
spring, and advance vegetation by placing
around each hill four bricks set on edge
aud covering with an b-by-10 pane of
glass. In the first place, after well pul
verizing the soil, the surface should be
hoed or raised in small mounds, similar
to potato hills, and the seed covered light
ly on the apex, and the protection of
bricks and glass placed around each
hill. Tomatoes, Lima beans and some
times cucumbers, early sweet corn,
etc., arc advanced in the same
manner. After the weather becomes
sufficiently warm the protecting glass
and bricks are removed and laid by for an
other season. I prefer planting the seed
in the ground where the vegetables are to
mature to transplanting from a hot-bed, as
the growth after the plants come up is
continuous, while the growth of fender1
plants from a hot bed is generally checked
for some days by transplanting to the
open ground. Early potatoes may be had
some three or four weeks sooner than their
usual time of ripening by placing a small
quantity cut fine in a box about the 1st of
March and covering them with damp
loam and setting them near the kitchen
stove, and when the danger of spring frost
has passed planting or setting them out in
a warm, sunny place in the ground. If
the sprouts from the jtotatocs are inclined
to grow too rapidly after they arc up in
the box, set the box in a cooler place,
which will not retard their growth and
harden them, till it is time to set them in
the open ground.
Among the chief attractions of a home
in the country is a farm, fruit garden, and
an orchard of choice apple, earand plum
trees, and a home where such luxuries are
provided will always prove attractive to
the children liorn on the place: and al
though when they arrive at adult age they
may become separated and reside far from
the home of their youth, the , old home
stead will always possess attractions which
will cause longings to revisit the scenes
and joys of our early day3. Maine
Farmer.
Changing Too Often.
3Iany a man has failed to become a suc
cessful farmer through a proneness to make
frequent changes in the products of his
laud. Dairy husbandry is tried for a few
years, then sheep husbandry, but nothing
thoroughly and long enough to learn the
business, or establish a reputation for pro
ducing a first-rate article of any kind.
If a man learns from experience or
close observation that his farm is better
adapted to the culture of some other crop
than the one produced, he would certain
ly be foolislypot to make a change in ac
cordance wall circumstances. In nine
cases out of ten, however, a change is not
made from any such consideration, but
merely to do something else which prom
ises to le more profitable.
One of our subscribers writes from
Wisconsin that. wheat - was formerly a
profitable crop upon his farm, but of late
yers the land had become so poor that
wheat 44 is played ut." We would cer
tainly advise farmers of this class to make
a change of some kind, but a man who
will starve his land would probably do
the same thing with his animals; conse
quently we should not feel justified in
recommending a change in this direction.
Better commence to restore fertility to the
soil, adding deep culture and a judicious
rotation of crops, until the worn-out or
exhausted land again produces wheat as
it did in "days of yore." This kind of a
change is the one of all others needed
over a wide extent of couutry, and before
thousands of our farmers can begin to
count their profits. Probably one of the
most proline sources ot frequent desires
to make a change is found in the accounts
of great profits derived from the culture
of certain crops or from keeping certain
breeds of stock, as published in our agri
cultural papers. Of: course we are not
disposed to doubt the truth of these state
ments,', nor T depreciate their value to
thinking men, but there are hundreds-of
"persons who "jump at
conclusions,".and if they read of a man
who ha'sSnade $500 profit from an acre of
fruit or vegetables in the suburbs of New
York city they are inclined to think that
somethingmay be done in Maine or Min
nesota. The various 'manias" or
' fevers," as they arc termed, which have
run riot over the country during the last
half century, causing the loss ot millions
of dollars to our agriculturists, all orig
inated in the same manner, those who had
the articles for sale finding their custom
ers among those who were ever desirous
ot " making a change" in the products of
their farms. The mulberry,- or muru
muiiicaulix, mania and pear, grape and
sorghum fevers left more men ioor than
they made rich ; still, there was an ele
ment of good in all, but the masses lacked
the discretion which would have prevent
ed them Irom purchasing an article or en
tering into a business winch they were
confessedly i:morant of. Right here we
would hinge this entire subject of making
changes in products or the general man
agement of a larm. If a man proposes to
make any change in his system ot culture
he should first ascertain with some degree
of certainty that th new and untried will
prove to be better than the old before at
tempting it.
The same rule holds good in omittint
one kind of crop and replacing it with an
other, or changing the breed of animals
in fact the more thorough a man's knowl
edge in this respect the more likely is he
to succeed. It is usually much cheaper
to purchase information in books and
periodicals in reganl to anr branch of ag
nculture than through experience. Not
that we believe the former can wholly
take the place ot the latter, but it is :
much shorter and safer road to reach gen
cral principle. A". Y. Sun.
Cabinet or Tarior Organs.
These have become the most popular of
large musical instruments. There are
now about two hundred and fifty makers
of them in the United States, w ho produce
more than forty thousand organs per au
num. 3Iost of these are very poor instru
ments. This is naturally so, because there
are few articles in the manufacture ot
which so much savingcan be made by the
use of inferior, improperly-prepared ma
terial and inferior workmanship, and yet
which, when finished, show so little dif
ference to the average purchaser. The
important parts of an organ, made as well
as they can be, cost two or three times as
much as if made as low as possible. Yet.
when the organ is done, it is not easy
from casual hearings, to tell the difference
between the best and a very poor one. Es
pecially when shown by one who knows
how to cover up defects, to one who has
not special skill in such matters, it is not
difficult to make a poor organ appear a
good one.
The temptation to makers, then, to pro
duce, at a fraction of the cost, an organ
which will sell almost as well as a good
one is almost irresistible. Hence the fact
that so few good organs are made and so
many poor onea, and that the country is
flooded with peddlers and dealers selling
these poor organs, which pay such large
profits. The buyer of the poor organ
does not fail to find out his mistake after a
while. The thin, reedy tone of his cheap
organ soon becomes offensive, it works
noisily and roughly, is constantly out of
order, and becomes useless by the . time a
really good instrument would have been
getting into its prime. A good organ
ought to last a generation, at least; a poor
one may last five j'ears, with considerable
tinkering, or mav break down much
sooner.
1 here is one sate way. Get a genuine
production of one of the very best
makers and you cannot go astray. Among
these undoubtedly stands pre-eminent the
3Iason fc Hamlin Organ Co., whose
organs are so well known that other
makers are generally content to claim
that they can makew good an organ as
the Mason & Hamlin. They invented
and introduced the Cabinet or Parlor
Organ in its improved form, started with
and have always closely adhered to the
policy ot making only the best work,
have shown such skill as has given tlieii
organs the highest reputation, not only
in this country but also in Europe. At
the Great Exposition at Vienna, in com
petition with eighty of the best makers
in the world, they obtained the highest
medals. To enumerate the competitions
at which they have received similar
honors w?ould be to give a list of the
fairs at which they have exhibited; and
to mention the prominent musicians who
recommend their organs as unequaled
would really be to give a very good list
of the most illustrious musical names in
the country, with a good representation in
Europe.
One who obtains a Mason k Jlamiin
Cabinet Organ need have no doubt that
he has the best instrument of its class
which can be made. A7c 1 vrk Inde

TIte Strange Disease.
Likk the thief at night, it steals in upon
us unawares. J. he patient3 nave pains
about the chest and 6idcs, and sometimes in
the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the
mouth has a bad taste, especially in the
morning. A sort 01 sticky slime collects
about the teeth. The appetite is poor.
There is a feeling like a heavy load on the
Etomach, sometimes a faint, all-gone sensa
tion at the pit of the stomach, which food
does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the
hands and feet become cold and feel clam
my. After awhile a cough sets in, at iirst
dry, but after a few months it is attended
wilh greenish-colored expectoration. The
patient feels tired all the while, and sleep
docs not appear to afford any rest. After a
time he becomes nervous, irrita'de and
gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is
a gidiuness, a 6orl 01 winning sensation in
the head when rising up suddenly. The
howels become costive, the skin is dry and
hot at times. The blood becomes thick and
stagnant, the whites of the eyes become
tinged with 3'tllow, the urine is 6canty and
high-colored, depositing a sediment after
standing. There is frequently a spitting up
of the food, sometimes w ith a sour taste
and sometimes a sweetish taste. This is
frequently attended with palpitation of the
heart. The vision becomes impaired with
6fots before the ej-cs. There is a feeling of
great prostration and weakness. - All of
these symptoms do not make their appear
ance at one time, but during the various
stages they are In turn present. It Is
thought that nearly one-third of our popu
lation has this disease in some of its varied
forms. It has been found that medical men
have nftstaken the nature of this disease.
Some have treated it for liver complaint,
Eorae for dyspepsia, others for kidney dis
ease, etc., etc., but none of these various
kinds of treatment have been attended with
success. It is found, however, that the
Shaker Extract ok Roots (not a patent
medicine), when prepared properly, will re
move the disease in all its stages. Care
should be taken to procure a good article.

Beans are very easily damaged and re
duced in value in harvesting. From the
time they arc gathered until they are
threshed aud marketed they should be kept
dry and protected from mildew. Exposure
to damp causes them to be spotted or dis
colored, in which case they are cither un
salable or can be disposed of only at a
much-reduced price. As soon as the beans
are ripe they should be pulled. This may
be conveniently done by passing down be
tween two rows, commencing so that the
fence is at the left hand and the held at
the right, and pulling the plants in both
rows, laying them over on the right-hand
row; then passing between the next two
rows, gathering the beans and laying thetn
over toward those already gathered. Be
fore the dew falls the beans should h
stacked. To do this, a pole six feet long
should be stuck firmly into the ground.
Then short pieces of rails should be laid
on each side of the pole. The beans
should be laid on these rails, the roots all
one way. One moderately -sized bunch
should be laid on each side of the stake
or pole. Then other bunches should be
laid across the first ones and the roots kept
always on the same side of the stake.
This is to prevent the earth from falling
amongst the beans and discoloring them.
In this way the stack is carefully built up,
and on reaching the top ot the stake a cap
of straw is fastened around it, and spread
so as to shed rain and keep the beaus dry.
The stack is so open and narrow that the
wind passes freelv through it, and curing
goes on rapidly. When they are sufliciently
cured they may be hauled to the barn and
threshed, cither with the flail or the ma
chine with the concave raised, and win
nowed and bagged for market. Rural
