TETANUS-OR LOCKED JAW.

Dr.. G. Il. Fontane Of Buckinohnm county.
Va, has addressed letter to DIP Chapman. of
Philadelphia, giving detailed account of the
cnre o: this horrible disease by friction The
disease sprang from wound in the foot and was
fast extending, with all the attendent commissions
and rieidity OF muscles, of the whole frame. He
applied laudanum and sugar TO the wound, and
administered 90 drops of laudanum nwardIv with
out striking effect; but on applying friction to
parts affected with the naked hand, the symp-
toms were immediately removed. They returned
again after a few hours; but again and again
yielded to friction until they were entirely su6du-
ed. He dressed the wound from which it sprung,
with hax-seed and milk poultice, and the cure
was soon complete. knowledge of this ample
and easy remedy for that disease will take from
it much oflhe horror which is attached pit. What
is commonly known the hydrophobia we are
Inclined 10 think of the same character, and may
probably be cured in the same waY.=Iimes.

AMERICAN AND ENGLISH WHEAT

The Liverpool Correspondent Of the New
ork Union, makes the following Interesting
remarks on tie superiority of American Flour
--"Durng the recent discussion in the London
papers respecting the relative prices of flour
and bread, (the complaint being that the miller
and the baker keep mp the price of flour and
bread, wheat being now much lower i'm price
Than Tor many years past) curious fact has
transplred. 1t appears that Lemana, biscuit,
maker, Threadneedle stveet-who made an
immense fortune by his business-lound, by
experience, that either in biscuit or bread,
American Flour will absorb from 18th to a
9Th more OF Its weight in water, than anv 9th

Cookery (Which made more money for John
Murray, OF A.bemarle street, than Byron's most
successful works. States also, that stone IA

OF bread, while the best kind of English Flour.
VIII, from like quantity, produce only IS -
lbs. OF bread. This is a curious fact, and as
1t is now taking the rounds of the public Jour
nails, must operate iavorably for American
Flour"
The fact Of which the Standard speaks, we
have long known. BUTT is only true Of South

10 10 20 per CT. more bread than Northern,
Flour, tho the latter might seem tie fairest
We afterwards found that able Chemist and
practical man of Science, DR.. Thomas Cooper
Cot ). Carolina) perfectly acquainted with the
fact which he explained as arising from the
larger proportion OF GLUTEN (paste) in South
erti, and OF ALBUMEN (starch) in Northern
Wheat. The former is the great nutritious
prlncIpie OF all the iarinaceous substances
But The wheat Of warm climates is heavier
too, than that of colder and, in the same re-
gion, the grain of wet years is lighter than that
oil dry ones. The bread of France is known
to all travellers as infinitely better than that OF
England; and we recollect to have seen that
when the French took Algiers, they found the
bread so much bettereven than their own, that
they could not OF first satiatc themselves with
it.-R. Wing.

65-The Wings should be in no degree dis
'couraged, (remarks the Petersburg Ineligen-
cterD by the defeat which they have sustained
IN some States in which they had counted ON
victory. The great contest, which will nerve
every Whig who is worthy OF the name to a
prompt and efficient discharge of his duty, has
scarcely commenced; and therefore il is no,
surprising t'lat-many should be found who are
careless about going to the polls, or who are
induced by some motive, originating in local
or personal considerations, TO vote for politi-
cal opponents. This was the case in some
of the States in 1898 and 1899; and vet, when
the Presidential election took place, they were
found on the side of the Wings By large major
tiles. Ash was then, so it will be in 1914.
When the People are brought to vote be-
tween the candidates for the Presidency, their
polls will tell tale far different from that
which :hey have recently told. When they
have to choose between one whose policy
tends to the development of their immense re-
sources and the protection of their labor, and
another who would leave them, unsupported
by their own Government, to contend against
the immense capital and cheap labor OF the
Old World, their decision, we cannot doubt,
Will be such as might be expected from those
who have an intelligent regard for their own
interests and the welfare Of their pos;erity.

they were never known before TO sustain defeat.
