Kan to feci better. 1 made up my mind I had
K'ot the right medicine at last. I could now
sleep well nights. I continued taking the Yt-y-etiue.
I took thirteen bottles. My health is
cood. The L'leer is gone, nd I am able to at
tend to my business. I paid about four hun
dred dollars for medicine and doctors before I
bought tin) vegetlne. I have recommended

Dear Sir,- I feel it luy duty to say one word
in regard to the great benefit I have received
from tiie use of one of the greatest wonders of

one of the greatest sufferers for the last eight
years that ever could be living. I do sincerely
thank my tiod and your eget ine for the relief
I have got. The Wtt umitxixm lias pained me to
such an extent, that my teet broke out in sores.
For the last three years 1 have not been able to

A pnrsc.n who a missionary had Ix-rn.
And hardships and privations oft had seen.
While wandering far on lone and desert
strands,
A weary traveller in benighted hin l.,
W'ould often picture to lii.s littlo tlork
The terrors of the g;bbH and the bl(K-k;
How martyrs suffer'd In the ancient times.
And what m'-n surTer now in other climes;
And though his words were eloquent and doop.
His hearers oft indulged themselves in sleep.
He marked with sorrow each unconscious nod.
Within the portals of the house of God,
And once, this new expedient thought he'd
take.
In his discourse, to keep the rogues nwako
Said he, "While travelling In a distant stato,
I witnessed semes which I will here relate:
"Twas in a deep, uncultivated wibl.
Where noontide glory scarcely ever smiled;
Where wolves in hours of midnight darkness
howl'd
Where bears frequented, and where panthers
prowhil;
An L on iny word, mitsquitors there wore found.
Many of which, I think, would weigh a pound?
More fierce und ravenous than the hungry
shark
1 hey oft were known to climb the trees and
harhr
The nudienco soem'd taken by surprise
All started tip and rubb'd their wondering1 eyes;
At such n talc Ihey all were much amazed.
Each drooping lid was in an instant raised.
And we must say, in keeping- heads erect.
It had its destined and desired effect.
Hut tales like this credulity appalled;
Next day. the deacons on the pastor call'd.
And bcgffr'd to know how ho could ever t !1
The foolish falsehood from his lips that fell.
"Why, sir," said one, "think what a mrnstroufc
weight !
Were they ns larg-o ns you were pleased to
state?
You said they'd wehh a pound! It can't be
true;
We'll not believe it, though 'tis told by you"
"Ah, but it is"' the parson quick replied;
"In what I stated yon may well cotitide,
3: in;, I said, sir and the story's grind
Indeed I think that mnnj of them would:"
The deacon saw nt once that ho was caught.
Yet deem'd himself relieved, on second thought
"Pait then the barkitw think of that, good
man!
Such monstrous lies! Fxplain It if you can!"
"Why, that my friend, 1 can explain with

Dr. Dewey, of the Illinois State In
sane Asylum, at Elgin, does not agree
with the ihitish Medical Journal in its
statement that the insane do not shed
tears, lie says: "So far as male in
sane persons are concerned, I am posi
tive I liave seen more insane men
weep than I ever saw sane ones; and a
very frequent concomitant of insanity
is an intensity of emotion and weak
ness of self-control, which leads to con
stant display of tears. I have in mind
at this moment, a.religious melancholic
whose lunacy is quite hopeh-ss, and is
mat ked by a belief in his certain dam
nation, who will talk, with copious
Hoods of tenvs streaming from his
chei ks, as long as any one can wait to
listen to him. Among female patients
tears are perhaps not more frequently
encountered than i:i common life, but
certainly not less so, and it is not a
specially happy sign as regards recovery

A yov.ng man, with a fragile mous
tache, went into a crockery store and
said to the proprietor: "A moustache
cup please."' ''Certainly, sir,' respond
ed the proprietor, with alacrity; "what
style does he prefer?"' "It's for my
self,'' responded th" young man, frown
ing slightly. "Eh?' exclaimed the pro
prietor, in great surprise, staring at the
customer. "I want it for myself," re
peated the young man sharply. The
proprietor turned away in a dazed man
ner and in his excessive bewilderment
lie handed down a gilt-edged cup, bear
ing the inscription, "To my child.'
U he young man looked at it in a tone
of speechless astonishment and shot
out tbo door.
It seeni3 to be the ambition of all
young wives to look well when any one
calls. Yesterday, says th3 Oil l ity
Derrick, a South Side bride heard a ring
at the front door, 'ihe maid was out,
and she rushed up stairs to "fix up" a
little before admitting the caller. There
was a moment of lightning work before
thf dressing-case. Quicker than it
takes us to tell it, a ribbon was fastened
at her throat, a llowt r stabbed into her
hair, a flash of powder on her face, and
fclie was at the door, all smiles and
blushes. The gentleman said he had
walked from ilemphis.and couldn't re
member that lie had tasted food, sinc-e
be left Cincinnati.
A careful experimenter reports that
he fed two sucking pigs, taken from the
sow at about six weeks old, and the
weights of which were within a few
ounces of each other, as follows: One
on skim-milk with bran and oatmeal,
and the other on an equal abundance of
rich kitchen wash of unlimited quanti
ty. The pigs were killed on the same
day, when just four months old; that
fed on the wash, weighing forty-three
pounds, the one on skim-milk a little
over forty pounds. The meat of the
former appeared very Cno to tha eye,
but when roasted was coarse and greasy
to the palate; while the other, though
very fat, was extremely delicate in flesh
and flavor.
L crop of 300 bushels of potatoes per
.?re removes about lsO pounds of min
eral matters, of which about one-half
consists of potash and one-ninth part
of phosphoric acid. A mangel crop,
weighing twenty tons of roots per acre,
removes from the soil (excluding the
amount taken nr in foliage) from 300 to
3S0 pounds of mineral matter, including
from 100 to 140 pounds of potash and
from 15 to 25 pounds of phosphoric acid.
Cereal crops remove only about 85
pounds of mineral matter per acre, of
which 10 or 12 pounds consist of potash
and 14 or 1 " pon.nd? of phosphoric aciU

The Nebraska City, Tabor and I?ot

style of an organization effected at Ma
cedonia last week, with a view to
build a road from some point on the
Rock Island road, through Mills coun
ty, to Nebraska City. It would be a
very desirable thing to have competi

thai road is to be built, Glenwood
wants it, and wants it bad. Don't you

Frank Welch says he intends to do

The above is doubtless one of the
Dee's whoppers, but if true that Welch
ever said so, it is more than the Dee
could possibly extort from its pet can
didate, Crounse, as he did the best he
knew the other time. P.ut then if the
Fee's thumb is only big enough to
spread over Saunders and Crounse at
the same time, it mav be possible some
promises might be secured. That is
the trouble with the Dee, it cannot
make Welch promise to do better for

'Gath" thinks the Rare will Narrow
Down between Grant and Tilden.
Townsend in Philadelphia Times.
L,oxc Branch, July 10. It is my
opinion, formed against my will, that
Grant is the only republican candidate
in the field, and that Tilden will soon
be the only democratic candidate. Jim
Casey did not say without reason, that
the movement for Grant came up from
the people and that his interests were
managed by nobody. He can afford to
pitch over Conklin, Blaine, Sherman,
Chandler and Cameron, one and all,
and still be almost as strong as ever.
The lesson of great events is to be seen
in his career; that great wars will have
long heroes. Gen. Jackson whipped
the Creek Indinas and the British in
1314 and did not get the nomination
until 1S28, when popular conventions
began to nominate instead of congres
sional caucuses. In lNSO Grant will
have been a military hero just the same
length of time as Jackson sixteen
years counting from Vicksburg. A
popular convention, acting under the
same feelings of personal admiration,
will do the nominating, and rarely has
the popular passion and the desire of
the politicians been so coincident. The
utter want of military spirit in Hayes'
term, bis indecision and fear to express
himself plainly on the uppermost ques
tions, bring into blazing relief Grant's
"Ye3" and "No," and disincline any
body to try another accidental civil
candidate. Providence may dispose of
Grant, but the Ilepublican convention
cannot do it.
AS TO TILDr.X.
Meantime Mr. Tilden I regard as
having a sure thing on all the New
England delegates. New York, New
Jersey, Kentucky and Indiana. He has
already completed his scheme in New
York, and will have the next commit
tee and convention. He could have
had the present committee, if he had
wanted it. I say he will get Indiana
because the development of theThur
man movement isalready stioiigcnougli
to scare Ilerfdricks, who will lead In
diana in the rear of Tilden and get on
behind as good a seat as he deserves.
Moreover, by this time next year there
will be only one democratic issue the
cheating of our candidate. As well in
a seduction case might the deceit be
proven and some other women expect
to get the benefits, as to make game on
the "fraud" and not benefit the fraudee,

It will be a great campaign. If Un

Great Fraudee. As for Grant, he, of
course, meuances our liberties. Three
terms was more than Washington had.
He kept Ilobeson, Keim, Parson, New

of glory and honesty. Grant represens
the glory and Uncle Sam the honesty.

A STARTLING SCHEME.
A Mexican War of Annexation
Con-
templates! in Washington.
Washington I)ipatch to the fhila. Record.
It can be stated positively to-night,
that a definite plan has been determin
ed upon for the acquirement of the
northern states of Mexico by conquest.
As has already been stated in these dis
patches, the administration refuse to
rescind the orders to Gen. Ord in com
mand of the troops on the border, to
pursue marauders, if need be, across
the border, although it had been rep
resented to the president and cabinet
that such action would most certainly
bring on a conflict with Mexican troops.
It now transpires that there is a war
party in the cabinet which is pl.tfening
to make the ostensible punishment of
cattle thieves merelv a pretext for
plunging the country into a war of an
nexation. The president does not be
long to the war party, at least he pro
fesses to desire peace, although he did
not oppose tne instructions which were
given to Gen. Ord. To-day the presi
dent had along interview w ith a prom
inent Texas gentleman, who is here in
the inteftst of the war party in Texas.
He represents that Texas is solid for
war, and asserts positively that a ma
jority of the administration is for war.
lie laid before the president to-day the
views of the people of Texas upon the
border troubles, and the necessity of
aggressive measures. lie reports that
the president was non-ccmmittal,.but
assents that it makes no difference
whether the president is for or against
war. The plan of the war party is to
have Gen. Ord seize a favorable op
portunity to cross the border and make
an attack on the Mexican troops, which
of course, will be repelled. A large
body of Texan troops, which will be in
readiness, are then to be thrown across.
The whole territory known as Zona
Libre, comprising the northern states,
is to be seized and the revenues collect
ed by force. It is. of course, expected
that this will precipitate a general
Mexican war, and prominent movers
in it in this city, admit that it will take
100,000 men and two years to bring the
war to a close. The prime movers in
this war movement seem to be certain
railroad interests, which are anxious
to run lines into Mexico, and qv.it?
willing to do a little military trans
portation for the government. These
agitations would not be serious if it
was not known that the most influen
tial half of the cabinet sympathizes
with them and that Gen. Ord is him
self strongly in favor of war. Maps
showing the portion of Mexico width
is proposed to annex, are being prepar
ed and will shortly be published in sev
eral leading papers which' favor war
and annexation.
Regard for Newspapers.
The strong attachment of subscrib
ers to well conducted newspapers is
fully confirmed by publishers. "Stop
my paper." words of dread to beginners
in business, lose their terror after a
paper has been established for a num
ber of years. So long as a paper pur
sues a just, honorable and judicious
course, meeting the wants of its cus
tomers in all respects, the tics of
friendship between the subscribers and
the paper are as hard to break by an
outside third party as the link which
binds old friends in business or social
life. Occasionally defects and errors
in a newspaper are overlooked by those
who have become attached to it. thro'
its perusal, for years. They sometimes
become dissatisfied with it on account
of something which had slipped into
its columns, and mav stop taking it;
but the absence of the familiar sheet
at their homes and ofliecs for a few
weeks becomes an insupportable priva
tion, and they hasten to take it again,
and possibly apologize for having stop
ped. No friendship on earth is more
constant than that contracted by the
the reader of a journal which makes
an honest and earnest effort to merit
its continued support. Hence a con
scientiously conducted newspaper be
comes a favorite in the famiiy.
An awkward, but somewhat amusing
case to everybody but the parties im
mediately interested, is reported from
Farminglon, Fulton County. III. There
was an elect ion for Police Magistrate
there on the 15th instant. The emi
nent respectables took no interest in
the same, so the bummers, for a joke,
elected one Thompson Fountain, who
is just out of jail. Now, these influen
tial citizens, who didn't vote, ask the
Governor if he will not withold the
commission of a bummer's choice if a
majority of the citizens of the town
will address him a remonstrance. The
Governor does not see how he can in
terfere, and will probably intimate to
the citizens of Farminglon that they
wiU have to put up with the jail-bird

The forging and tempering of iron
or steel can be greatly enhanced, ac
cording to 1 1 err Edward Blass, of Cleve,
Prussia, by dipping the metal, in what
ever form, in fused salt. This dipping
in salt is also well adapted for annealing
steel without the oxidation of the sur
face. If the metal be rusted, it must be
allowed to remain some time in the
bath. Borax can with good effect bo
mixed with the salt. Metal "puri. ed"'
by means of such an immersion is very
susceptible to galvanic depositions, and
can easily be coated with copper, zinc,
tin, nickel, silver, etc.
Can't Ancr.l It.
"Oh, I was s awfu'ly ashamed of
you'.' said one American girl to an
other, as she left a store the other day.
"The idea of saying rigid out, 'I can't
afford it!' Why didn't you say you did
not like it, or that it wasn't handsome
enough? That's what I always do."
"Well, it wits true, replied the o'her.
"I couldn't afford it. It was too dear
for any but a rich person."
The two passed on, the girl who had
been so "awfully ashamed'" f the other
not knowing lliat she had blushed for
a declaration which, twenty years ago,
her majesty, (jucen Victoria, was not
ashamed to make.
In IS50, a French embroiderer. Ma
dame Savant, exhibited at the London
Universal Exposition a magnificent In
dia muslin robe, worked most elabor
ately in lace stitch.
(ueesi Victoria greatly admired it.
and asked the price. "Eight thousand
francs, your majesty," replied the
French woman, with a courtesy. Eight
thousand francs is about sixteen hun
dred dollars in our money.
The queen smiled and said : "It i
too expensive for me. 1 cannot afford
it. Make me one in tbo same f tyle
which you can sell for three thousand
francs, and I will buy it of you."
Of coir.se, this much more modest
robe was made for her maj' fty. But
shortly afterward, one of our .Ameri
can ladies became the proud possessor
of the dress worth eight thousand
francs, which the (ueen of England
could not afford.
I wish we were all as sensible as that
good Queen Victoria, who knew, des
pite t'-e depth of her purse, that it had
a bottom, and that we were not so
"awfully ashamed" to make oar er
penses match our income.

African Jewel.5.
Some remarkable jewels and orna
ments have been sent to King Hum
bert from the king of Scio, in Africa,
by tho hands of the explorers who havo
been sent thither by tho geograph
ical society. An eastern paper gives an
interesting description of tho collection.
The king lias presented them to th
Ethnographical Museum, which hs in
process of formation in tho Collgio
Romano, under the care of the learned
ami eloquent Professor Luigi Pigorini.
The bracelet sent by King M -nelik is a
wonderful production to cone out of
the heart ef Africa. It is of silver,
and fifteen ci-ntirietres wide. It is or
namented with tunicate 1 c uics and
with filagree woik in gold, studs of
silver and filagree roses with red glass
set in. A silver belt with places for
cartridges, ornamented with filagree
work and red glass is not lcs.i beauti
ful than upon the bracelet. Two com
plete sets of trappings for horses at a
richly ornamented with cuiious figures
in silver gilt. Tho ground of one of
these covers for the king's mule is bleu
velvet, and a fringe of line chains and
small silver bells .surround it, which
when the animal moves produce a link
ling music. The. otlfr trapping h of
red leather, and instead of the filagreo
woik, is substitu'ed green leather,
with holes cut in it, through which aro
set n plates of gold. Two rich collars
for mules, one of brass and the other
of silver, and two mantles of leopard
and panther skins, form part of tho
gift. Tlie.se objects will give a new

Patent Flour.
Almost everybody knows of the flour
says an exchange, but not every ono
understands what it is. Stiipped of
technicalities, this is perhaps about the?
story of its manufacture. Ths best
flour used to be made of "Winter wheat.
Spring wheat j iel lo I either much lef.
in quantity, or else so much of lhe
bran got into the flour in il l manufac
ture that its color was intolerably dark.
The wheat would by ground and then
bolted. In tho refuse the bran ami
middlings would be included a largo
proportion of the. weight of the Spring
wheat, and this would sell more partic
ularly for feed for horses. Now tho
best of flour, and the most expensive,
is made of this very refine of the old
fashioned process. It all came oat of
the discovery of a way to draw out tho
bran. Umler tbo new process tho
wheat is ground about as be ft ire. "Tho
first result is an ordinary flour sold for
exportation. Then tho remainder is
taken and put upon great horizontal
sieves, and while agitation is going on
there, an ingenious system of draft is
rushing up through, carries off tho
bran. What is hit is tho glutinous
portion of the. wheat, the most nutri
tious and mo.-t productive, and out of
this, putifijd now by tho drawing off
of the bran, we get our new-process
;1 e.ir. The result of the discovery of
i he process has been to make the poor
spring w heat of Minnesota and upper
Wisconsin the most valuable kind of
grain, and to make the fortunes of tho
nventors of the method.
Don't let old bones lie around in tho
barnyard and fenca corners. They
should bo preserved, as they contain
phosphoric acid, one of the mast valu
able ingredients in manure. Put a
layer of w ood ashes in the bottom ot a
cask and then add a layer of bones,
then add mother layer of ashes and sc
on until tho ca-k is filled. Keep tho
mixture wet, and in a few months tho
potash in the ashes w ill have so com
bined with the phosphoric aeiJ in tho
bones as to give you a c iskf nl of a
