KIDNEY-WORT IS A SURE CURE for all diseases of the Kidneys and LIVER It has greatly edified on this most important organ, building it to throw off intollerity and habituation, eliminating the healthy extension of the Milk, and by hugging the bowels in five conditions, affording its regular discharge. Malaria. Every amount given from milk, bacon, eggs, potatoes, on condition of Kidney-Wort will still cure the disease every minute into a thorough cure of it. KIDNEY-WORT THE NEED OF TWO LIVE PARTIES. New York Times New problems are now engaging the attention of the people and they are demanding their solution through the action of political parties. They will no longer sustain any party on its past achievements, or respect it for its venerable traditions. They are depanding of their representatives and their public men the performance of certain tasks, and will judge them by their success or failure in dealing with these. It is a bad thing when one party can presume upon distrust of the other as a means of retaining power without regard to its own present merit. We should have two parties inspired by worthy purposes and seeking the public good, the ascendancy of 'neither of which should be regarded as fraught with disaster. There is good reason for believing that the time has gone by when any party would or could sacrifice the results of our national progress in the last twenty years. The Republican party has shown too much inclination of late to rest upon its laurels, to claim 'remuneration for the thing it was,' and to depend for support upon distrust of the opposing party. It will be a good thing for it and for the country if the Democratic organization shall resolve to 'purge and live cleanly' henceforth, and bid for public confidence by endeavoring to do the work that needs to be done. It is a wholesome thing that the Democratic party in the leading States has so far recognized the demand of the time as to make explicit professions and promises of reform. It has declared itself in favor of LAND OFFICE DECISIONS. Washington, Nov. 14.—Acting Secretary Joselyn to-day decided that where a settler has failed to comply with the law in making improvements, but has tillied the land, and his failure to build is shown to have been caused by climatic influences, that he be allowed a further period of six months within which to establish a residence. In the case of Christian F. Ebinger of Bloomington, Neb., against Daniel Hearle, Acting Secretary Joselyn to-day decided that Ebinger acquired no right by the presentation of his application for a timber culture entry during a vacancy in the office of Receiver, and that consequently the tract in controversy was unappropriated upon the date of Hearl's application. This decision establishes an important precedent which will govern similar cases. In a decision rendered to-day the Acting Secretary of the Interior holds that a contest for a land title instituted by a parent cannot be transferred or inherited by a child, even though it shall appear that the contest was instituted for the child's benefit. Commissioner McFarland, in a recent decision, declares that where a person has failed to make entry to a tract of land, through being misinformed of his rights by the local officers when otherwise entitled to make such entry, will be protected by the department, and lose nothing, unless required to do so by the actual demands of the law. On April, 1881, the President issued a proclamation reserving from sale certain lands in Wisconsin which it was thought CRIMINAL ITEMS. Some of the Incidents which are Daily Flashed over the Wires. Portland, Oregon, Nov. 17.—A son of the Rev. Dr. Doane, a Methodist minister of East Portland, 13 years old, assaulted a schoolmate named Alonzo Gates, 11 years of age, on Thursday, while he was on the way home from school in company with his little sister. Doane first three barrels of a revolver loaded with shot at him, without seemingly injuring him. The Gates' boy was monitor in the school, and Doane, having committed some offense, threatened to kill him if he informed the teacher. Gates told the teacher, and that evening while he was on his way home, with a little sister] in charge, he was attacked as above stated. Young Gates was so afraid that Doane would kill him that he did not tell his father when he got home. The next day Mr. Gates heard of the matter and started out to chastise young Doane, but his wife interfered, and the matter will be adjusted by the Courts. Chicago, Nov. 18.—A Daily News' Havana (Ill.), special of November 16th says: John B. Walters, a farmer living near here, while at work in the field to-day, was approached by his nephew, whose name was not learned. The nephew told him that he had murdered his ('Walters') wife, and then fled. Walters went to his home rud found the statement true. A large posse of citizens is in search of the murderer. No cause for the deed is assigned. Pressno, Cal., Nov. 18.—Last night a messenger came from the mountains and reported the killing of Henry Lafevre by J. S. G. tion of late to rest upon its laurels, to claim 'remuneration for the thing it was,' and to depend for support upon distrust of the opposing party. It will be a good thing for it and for the country if the Democratic organization shall resolve to 'purge and live cleanly' henceforth, and bid for public confidence by endeavoring to do the work that needs to be done. It is a wholesome thing that the Democratic party in the leading States has so far recognized the demand of the time as to make explicit professions and promises of reform. It has declared itself in favor of economy in public expenditures, reduction in the revenues, thorough revision of the tariff, and radical reform of the civil service system. This is the kind of competition for popular favor and support that should be exhibited by rival parties. It is well that both should recognize the work to be done, acknowledge its importance, and pledge themselves to earnest efforts to do it. There may be distrust of the promises and professions of one or the other, and of its capacity to perform the tasks it is willing to undertake; but when it is bound by pledges and accepts responsibility on condition of making them good, it can be held to a fair degree of effort. This is better than having only one party that can be looked to for any attempt at the performance of the tasks of the time. When that is the case such a party becomes too confident of its support, it prepares upon having the arena to itself, and of retaining power because it cannot be trusted to the opposing party. There is no question of the tendency of a party long in power to become wedded to abuses and disinclined to reforms. The things to be reformed have grown up under its administration and secured its toleration, if not its countenance and support. It is entangled with them to such an extent that the process of correction tears its very body and substance. On the other hand, the party that is out of power has every inducement to undertake the work. It has nothing to lose and has much to gain, even if it make no undue or improper use of the advantages of victory. It is in a position to bid for public confidence and undertakes a new policy, always provided that it is a safe party to trust. Both parties should be safe in the sense that their ascendancy could involve no disaster. The normal method of progress under a free government is to be found in alternations of power between the forces of advancement and conservation. The failures of parties can be effectively rebuked and retrieved only by their defeat. They can be spurred to progressive effort only by the chance of losing support and having the administration transferred to the opposition. It is many years since the politics of this country has been in a normal condition in which there was a chance to pit the claims of one party to confidence against those of the other. It is a question whether the existence of slavery did not preclude such a condition even in the older days of the republic. But the time is coming for it. Chicago, Nov. 18.—A Daily News' Havana (Ill.), special of November 16th says: John B. Walters, a farmer living near here, while at work in the field today, was approached by his nephew, whose name was not learned. The nephew told him that he had murdered his (Walters') wife, and then fled. Walters went to his home rud found the statement true. A large posse of citizens is in search of the murderer. No cause for the deed is assigned. Fresno, Cal., Nov. 18.—Last night a messenger came from the mountains and reported the killing of Henry Lafevre by J. S. G. Musick and his son, J. L. Musick. The report is that Musick and his son stopped at the log camp of A. H. Akers yesterday at noon, in White Deer Valley, and were invited to stop and take dinner. While at dinner Henry, son of A. J. Lafevre, rode up. Seeing him the Musicks got up from the table and seized their weapons and ran out of the back door. In a few seconds a shot was heard and when Mr. Ackers went out he found young Lafevre lying on the ground, dead. In the meantime the Musicks departed. For a long time trouble has existed between the Musicks and Lafevres. Last year old man Musick was shot, he claimed, in the back by young Lafevre, but on the trial the elder Lafevre swore that he did the shooting and that he did it in self-defense. The quarrel grew out of the possession of a piece of land. It is reported that the elder Lafevre is also killed or missing, his horse having been found riderless in the mountains. Of this no authentic information has been obtained. Louisville (Kv.), Nov. 18:—Martha Robinson, colored, was arrested last night for a horrible crime. She heated a stove red hot, stripped the clothing from her child aged 23 years, and laid it on its back on top of the stove. After a time she took it off the stove, carried it to a factory near by and laid it in the hallway. The cries of the child were heard by the officers, who arrested the woman. When asked why she committed the crime, she said she wanted to get rid of the child. It will die. Deadwood (D. T.), Nov. 18:—In a quarrel at Lead City, this evening Timothy Coleman struck Boyd Hicklen under the ear with his fist breaking Hicklen's neck, killing him instantly. Birmingham (England), Nov. 18th.—William H. Cunningham, a workman at the Birmingham rolling mills, left work this morning, walked over to the blast furnace, ascended to the mouth of the stack, and awaited the moment for charging. When the bell was raised he threw off his hat and leaped head foremost into the furnace. Deceased was formerly of Kentucky. Forest City (N.C.), Nov. 18:—A serious conflict occurred near here to-day between two parties, composed of prominent citizens of the county. During the fight Barnes King advancement and conservation. The failures of parties can be effectively rebuked and retrieved only by their defeat. They can be spurred to progressive effort only by the chance of losing support and having the administration transferred to the opposition. It is many years since the politics of this country has been in a normal condition in which there was a chance to pit the claims of one party to confidence against those of the other. It is a question whether the existence of slavery did not preclude such a condition even in the older days of the republic. But the time is coming for it. There may be a need of transformation in the parties themselves before it is fairly brought about, or it may come through present parties modified only by gradual changes. VIRGINIA (Nov.). Nov. 17.—On probing the wound of Denis Sullivan, shot last night by William Miller, the ball was found to have gone downward instead of upward into the mouth. It struck under the chin, passed down to the scollar bone, then glanced round and lodged in the muscles of the back, narrowly missing the large artery and veins of the neck. It is quite a dangerous wound. Miller was struck in the right breast and the bullet passed round the shoulder bone and lodged in the muscles of the right arm, from which it was cut. Miller has been arrested and this afternoon gave bail in the sum of $5,000. As to the cause of the trouble there are conflicting stories, but both sides agree that it grew out of the appearance of Sullivan on the floor of the ball-room with his hat on and smoking a cigar. The ravages of the phylloxera among the French vines have had a very beneficial effect upon the Greek raisin growers, for during the course of September upward of 70,000,000 pounds of raisins and currants were exported to France. About 30,000,000 pounds were shipped at Patras from the provinces of Corinth, Patras, Missolonghi, Tryphilla, Pylha, &c., 12,000,000 pounds at Algina, from the provinces of Hegalen, Corinth, and the Dande, and about 20,000,000 pounds from smaller ports. San Francisco is a network of street railways. Five cents is the fare, and for that small sum you can go to almost any part of the city, and by several ways, too; direct or all around Robin Hood's barn. Some of the companies have two or more lines, and then some have arrangements with other companies by which you are transferred from one line to another without paying another fare. For instance, you can get on the Sutter street car at the ferry landing drawn by horses up Market to the foot of Sutter, where they take off the horses and hook the car to the cable dummy; get off at Larkin and the conductor gives you a "transfer" to the Larkin street cable car; at the foot of Larkin he will give you a transfer to the Mission street cars which will take you to 28th street, or you can take the Mission street cars at the ferry. The conductors and drivers are very gentlemanly and will give you any information possible. And in fact city people very kindly answer the inquiries of a stranger. Stand on a corner and ask the first man who comes hurrying along, as if the train was waiting for him, where such a street is and he will stop and tell you very kindly; or if he hears you ask another who says he does not know, will stop himself and point out the way. Of course it is just where you thought it was—or else it isn't. It is interesting to stand on the corner or walk along the street and watch the crowd —always in a hurry, men and women, handsome and homely. rushing, hurrying, sourrying by as though life depended on their reaching there in just such a time. Some happy faces and some serious. Some going home and some just going to work; others going out to enjoy themselves. But all in a hurry. Once in a while you see a stranger, like yourself, walking leisurely along taking mental notes of the crowd. San Francisco is a busy place, but yet it has a class of people who are ever intent on pleasure. No matter what sort of weather it is they will have their pleasure, and places of amusement are plentiful and of all kinds and classes. Good open music is a rarity, as there is no first-class opera in San Francisco. They are more of a theater than opera going people. Man at the Birmingham rolling mills, left work this morning, walked over to the blast furnace, ascended to the mouth of the stack, and awaited the moment for charging. When the bell was raised he threw off his hat and leaped head foremost into the furnace. Deceased was formerly of Kentucky. FOREST CITY (N.C.), Nov. 18.—A serious conflict occurred near here to-day between two parties, composed of prominent citizens of the county. During the fight Barnes King shot William Tuttle, who in turn nearly blew the top of King's head off with a shotgun. King died soon after. John Hailer then dangerously wounded William Tuttle. NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 17th.—The Times Opelike (Ala.), special says: A serious riot occurred here last night, in which Jim Roberts, Chas. Dix and Chas. Griggs were wounded. Pistols and shotguns were used. The row lasted all night, and the destruction to show-windows and lamps is considerable. It seems to have grown out of a general dislike for the city government. About a hundred shots were fired. The New York Tribune says: In the midst of ecstacies of delight inspired by the election at Cleveland, the Democrat of the metropolis find themselves confronted with the most perplexing puzzle of modern times. It is all about the Coroner. William H. Kennedy was elected to that Tuesday. Today it turns out that there are five gentlemen answering to this name residing in this city, with several wards to hear from, two at least lay claim to the office, and propose to have it or have the reason why satisfactorily explained to them. One of the contestants is a vendor of beverages and the other an undertaker. WASHINGTON, Nov. 18.—Secretary Teller has affirmed the decision in the case of the State of California ex ref D. W. Thompson va Girard Grank et al involving 640 acres of land in Los Angeles Land District, Cal., taken on appeal from the Commissioner of the General Land Office, in favor of the decision. GAZETTE.

The Horse Editor and the Poetical Young Lady. Chicago Tribune. "Is the hymenal-happenings editor in?" A very pretty young lady stood in the doorway and glanced in an appealing way at the occupants of the room. "Hymenal means something about getting married, doesn't it?" said the horse reporter. "Yes, sir," replied the young lady, "but I don't want to marry." Oh, I know you don't," said the friend of Maud S. "Girl never do. They spend most of their time trying to escape from the dreavful abyss of matrimony into which countless young men are endeavoring to plunge them." "The object of my visit," said the young lady, "is to see some editor in regard to a poem, and it occurred to me that perhaps the gentleman for whom I asked might be the person having such matters in charge. I have met with a sad disappointment, and have written this poem in commemoration of the event." "I'm sorry he got away," said the horse reporter; "but perhaps you were lucky to lose him. There isn't anything in this poem about the brown mantle of October resting lightly on the hills; is there? Or the deep green of the pines reflected against the torquoise bloom of an Autumn sky? Because if there is we can't take it. There is more brown-mantle-of-October poetry stowed away here now than the widow-cleaner can use in a year. If you've got anything about the white messengers of Heaven drifting" From "The Times." Editor of the Times:—The statements recently published in your valuable paper has created much excitement in this city among the class who own and use horses, and after reading your request that all should write you who had been benefited by the letter published, from Dr. Batax, in regard to the remarkable success he always had with Kendall's Spavin Cure, I decided to write you my experience with it. My first knowledge of this remedy came through a visit to the office of the Massachusetts Society for the prevention of cruelty to animals. This society was the first to use Kendall's Spavin Cure in Boston, and I was informed by Chas A. Carrier, a gentleman in whom I had the utmost confidence that they had never used anything that worked so well for spavins or any lameness in horses, and he stated that he gave it to poor men who had lame horses and would agree to use it, and in this way he was enabled to get along without presenting them, so it was sure to cure when persevered with. Some time after this I received a very severe injury to the knee joint, and the high recommendation which Mr. Carrier gave of Kendall's Spavin Cure, gave me so much confidence in it that I used it for my knee with the very best of results, and since that time my faith has been so strong in the merits of this remedy that we will not be without it in the house. I have tried it since that time for foot-rot, sore teats and warts on my cows' teats, also for a general liniment for my horses and in my family and I sincerely believe, with all those who have written you before, that there never was so good a filament for both man and beast ever discovered before. Hoping you will continue to give us more light on this subject Tom. Yours very truly, Roa't C. Ayer. Boston, Mass., Oct. 1, 1881. Woman's rights are obtaining recognition in Norway.

There isn't anything in this poem about the brown mantle of October resting lightly on the hills, is there? Or the deep green of the pines reflected against the torquise bloom of an Autumn sky! Because if there is we can't take it. There is brown-mantle-of-October poetry stowed away here now than the wilow-cleaner can use in a year. If you've got anything about the white messengers of Heaven drifting silently down through the keen air, or the gaunt outline of the lifeless oaks standing haggard against an unpitying sky, we might do business with you. Our stock of November poetry is rather light this season. If you could ring in something about a boot-black dying on the steps of a banker's residence Christmas eve, while inside the house the wassail bowl was going round, it would be a daisy." "I'm afraid my poem will hardly meet the requirements you suggest," said the young lady, "because the theme is a sad one, and the treatment is naturally in accord with this fact. I can read it to you, however." "Nothing about 'put away his little rattle' in it, is there?" "No, sir." "Nor 'the beautiful summer is dead,' alas?" "Certainly not." "Well, then, you may read it," and the horse reporter settled himself in a critical attitude. The young lady produced a roll of manuscript and read as follows: And this is the end of all, Ernest! The end of our happy dreams. A walk to the quiet graveyard, where the snowy marble gleams; Tablets of blighted hopes, and broken hearts that mean For their buried loves, and the weary years that must be lived alone. You go back to the world, Ernest—men's hearts so seldom break—and under new stars, in new skies set, soon other ties will make; But I go back to a desolate life—no man can ever be. Though I roam the wide world over, what you were to me. And this is the end of all. Good-by! Perhaps it had caused less pain. To have gone our separate ways without seeing each other again. For want of one little word, Ernest, lives often drift apart; You spoke that word, but it came too late; it only broke my heart. "Nice, ain't it?" remarked the horse reporter when the reading was finished. "Are you the girl that's been up to the graveyard and taken a look at the tablets of blighted hopes?" "Yes, sir." "Ernest is going back to the world, is he? What has he been doing in St. Louis all this time?" "I hardly think you appreciate the circumstances under which the poem was written that we will not be without it in the house. I have tried it since that time for foot-rot, sore teats and warts on my coats' tests, also for a general limiment for my horses and in my family and I sincerely believe, with all those who have written you before, that there never was so good a limiment for both man and beast ever discovered before. Hoping you will continue to give us more light on this subject Tom. Yours very truly, Roat C. Ayer. Boston, Mass., Oct. 1, 1881. Woman's rights are obtaining recognition in Norway. The parliament has just passed a law, which the King has signed, giving women the privilege of attending the universities and applying for degrees in all the arts and sciences; but the right to hold office in the service of the State and of participating in the competitive examinations for such positions is not yet accorded to them. A Chance for Fun. The "latest thing out" in the way of something to afford home amusement for winter evenings, or a side-show for church fairs, consists of a sort of Magic Lantern that doesn't require pictures on glass. The Poly-option, as it is called because it will show up so many different things, makes use of ordinary newspaper pictures, family photographs, chroma cards, home-made sketches, etc., and thus affords a new use for the collections of pretty cards which so many have been industriously making. Though patented, it can be made and sold at one fourth the price of a good Magic Lantern.
