February 14, 1884.] T H E (211) ] 9 Help the sufferers by the g reat floods along the livers of Ohio, Kentucky, and W estern Vir ginia. C incinnati now proposes to take care of itse l f ; b u t other places will need all the help th a t can be given. The Red Cross Societies, Miss Clara Barton, President, will have th e ir re lief headquarters at Cincinnati. . . . .The prohibitionists of M ichigan have s u b scribed ten thousand dollars for the p u rpose of establishing a paper in th a t s tate devoted to the advocacy of their p rinciples. This is one am ong the m a n y evidences th a t the tem p erance ques tion is increasingly attractin g the attention of the general public. ....R e lig io u s discussion is carried on in a high-toned way in some quarters. This is from The Southwestern P r e s b y terian: “ We note tliat the Rom ish organ —The S ta r , so- called—of last week, tries to say som e thing. We m ay r e f e r to it by and by. M e antim e , Paddy m u st w a it.” .. .M r. M orrison intended to rush his ‘‘hori zontal” tariff bill, through the Comm ittee of Ways and Means, w ithout giving those whose interests are to be affected the opportunity of being heard. B u t it seems th a t the Committee are wisely of a different opinion. The friends o f Mr. Blaine, o u g h t, as a m a t ter of courtesy, i f for no other reason, to cease annoying him by persistently bringing him forw ard as a presidential candidate against his will. He has repeatedly told them th a t he is not, and will not be a candidate. The Governor of Rhode Island calls the attention of the legislature to the fact th a t peo ple a re resorting to th a t state simply for divorce purposes, and urges the legislature to adopt some m easure to check this system of p e r p e t r a t ing frauds upon the laws of other states. The Wesleyan C h ristian Advocate , which quotes w ith warm approval our late editorial, “ Quench not the S p ir it,” im agines it was m a n ifestly w ritten chiefly for Presbyterians and Congregationalists.” Not a bit m o re than for M ethodists and B aptists. The Charleston N e w s thinks that Mr. Payne, who is now talked of in some quarters as the D em o cratic candidate for President, will find it r a ther difficult “ to construct a dinner- table long enough to accommodate the whole U n ited States.” There is a plan on foot to give each U n ited States Senator a clerk at a salary of six dollars a day during the session of Congress, which m eans an addition of about thirty-five thousand dollars to the annual cost of running the Senate. Judging from the tone of the. press we should say th a t the M o rrison tariff bill is a failure. I t will not u n ite the D em o c ratic P a rty in its support, and the practical business sense of the people is a g a inst it. We are likely to see a considerable exten sion of the letter-carrier system in our lar-jer towns. The tojyns which pay the large profits to the Post-Office D e p a rtm e n t have a rig h t to its best advantages. General Sherm a n carries w ith him, in his retirem e n t from the Army, the g ratitude of the country. I t may be th a t he will n o t be left to the position of a private citizen. TO EVERYBODY. P l e a s e consult the date on the yellow address label on your paper and kindly renew one or two weeks previous to the date there recorded, thus avoiding the loss of any consecutive numbers of the paper. If, however, it is not conve nient, in some special cases, for a subscriber to renew exactly at the expiration of his subscription, we will, if requested, take pleasure in continuing bis paper. We respectfully urge our subscribers to maketiieir own remittances to us, instead of having a Postmaster or News Dealer do it for them. Very often vexatious delays occur, the subscriber’s paper is stopped and letters of inquiry are written, all of which might be avoided if the subscriber transacted his own business. Every reader of T h e I n d e p e n d e n t ought to be able to induce some friend or friends to subscribe for the paper and thus secure it at the very lowest club rates. Why not save a dollar on your subscrip tion by securing a club of five, thus getting the paper for two dollars per year? Subscribers who were members of a club last year, can aid us materially by raising other clubs this year. We shall be glad to furnish specimen copies to help any one in getting up a club. About forty per cent, of our subscribers avail themselves of our liberal terms and renew their subscriptions for two years by paying $5, or for five years by paying $10. T e r m s . One year, postage free $3 00 Six months ” ” 1 50 Three months ” ” ............................ 75 One Subscription two years 5 00 One subscription five years 10 00 Five subscriptions, in one remittance. 10 00 Our object in offering T h e I n d e p e n d e n t in clubs of five at $2 each, is to place the paper in five families, each one paying $2 only. Subscriptions will not be received from subscription agents upon club terms, but special rates will be furnished them upon application. READING NOTICES. S o o t h in g a n d H e a l i n g , we might with truth add certainly curing in every case. No remedy known equals Coe's Cough Balsam for Coughs, Colds, Croup, and Consumption. It is an old and tried friend and always proves true. A STRANGE COPYRIGHT. In 1879 The Chicago Tribune alluded to a remedy never found in drugstores, for asthm a, c a tarrh, dys pepsia, rheum a tism aud scrofula. We learn that it lias since gained such e minent patronage that a copy right paper o n the s u b je c t, e n titled the “ Pandect,,r is now issued gratis to all who address Mr. J . A. Gates, the author, at Kalamazoo, Mich. Those interested should send for a copy. i m p o r t a n t !

T h e re should be no d elay in this m atter, as the demand this year for Roses and other O rnam ental Shrubbery, Vines, etc., promises to be f a r g reater than ever before.
