sFashion makes fools of men
Al ,rnn,n,n TOO s.

Yes. and babes and children, and every
thing else Fashion is every hing-and noth-
ing There is neither reason nor common
sense, comfort nor COZ venience about it. One
season she will pad women up till they look
like hogsheads. and the next squeeze tn EN-
up till they may be compared to eornstaik-
deck the head at one time with bonnet near
~ the size ola Windmill, and at another with
one hardly big enough for mouse's nest
dress men one year with coat skirts as narrow
as possible, and the next fasten on them skirts
wide enough for an over-coat-gives them tall
hats one season and short the next broad b1ims
give place to narrow ones, and bell-crown to
peaked-and allows the lads 10 90 a courting
before they are old enough to be fairly free
from their mothers apron strings. Fashion is
fashion and will be, men and women must fol-
low the fashion, let them be ever so ridiculous.
We would give not little to see woman full
rugged of 1929, $50 and '3l--with hooped dress
large sleeves, sfiffners, and the big bonnet with
all her hair done up in form. We wonder that
some Yankee girl who has preserved a full set
of gear don't start and exhibit herself in FASH
ion. II would be a grand speculation, and we
doubt not excite more attention than an eIe-
phant and draw crowded houses and yet that
fashion was not more unbecoming than the pres
ent-Fdctorg GiriS' Garland.

A REoEIPE TO CURE DIARRHps.-We have
seen many remedies for Diayrhga going the
rounds in the newspapers. We insert the
following one from the GValley (Va) Farmer,''
which as tits cheap and innocent one any of
our readers suffering from that dreadful com
plaint, may try it with safety.
Have little bag made ouf Of new linen strong
ly sewed, Of about four inches long and one and
a half in diameter, stamp il full II wheat -four,
as full as you can getit, tie the bag when filled
and boil it for an hour IN clean water; then take
il out and let it get cold; rip open the bag and
take off the outer crust, which the water oc-
casioned, and take Of the chalky part a tea
spoonful in tea (it matters not what kind Of
iea) every hour. As soon as the patient feels
relieved, let him slack and take half spoonful
every two hours, and so on diminishing the
dose and the time as the patient feels re-
ieved, so as not to create costiveness. When
used this medicine, | took it wihou. tea,
but il is hard to swallow, keeping little piece
in my pocket, which | used occasionally. The
cure will be effected in six hours. This in
nocent medicine has been sufficiently tried,
and effected cures, when ali other remedies
proved of no avail. As this medicine can be
| had without money or price, the writer OF this
assures the public Of its efficiency, and wishes
that every family may beln possession OF this
valuable recipe.

any of the dangers then experienced, or tho
losses realized. We learn that no distinc-
ton will be made between individuals and
corporate institutions in the selection of de-
positories; that where it may be necessary
TO employ private bankers as repositories,
it will be done upon the necessary security
being deposited with the Secretary, and it is
possible that the number of private deposit
cries may be increased to the exclusion of
public institutions. The deposits in the
hands of private bankers would be more
equally distributed among the commercial
classes, and the public would not feel any
inconvenience in the accumulation of a sur-
plus revenue, as it would under the iudicious
management that invariably characterizes in
dvidual enterprise, be returned again TO the
channels of trade from whence it came, and
be employed in business the same as though il
had never been withdrawn; while on the other
hand, the Government deposits in the banks
are monopolized principally by few of the
directors, and are employed directly or in-
directly by them in stock speculations, or
some other speculation of the day, keeping
vast amounts out of the regular channels Of
business, creating an unnatural, fictitious
STATE of things, and checking the legitimate
operations of trade. When not employed
by these directors in stock and other spec,1-
aions, they are used by them in what
ever branch of business they are engaged
in; and the surplus revenue of the Govern
ment, which is drawn from the resources of
a thousand merchants, is monopolized by
small band of bank directors, for their indi-
vidua' aggrandisement. The Secretary ofthe
Treasury must be aware of these things,
from the efforts made by the banks of this
and other cities to secure as large portion
Of the deposits as possible, and the jealousy
that exists between these institutions upon
this point, and we trust his knowledge of
these facts will influence him in his selec-
lion Of repositories in the principal cities in
the Union"

THE CONVENTION. County Convention
comes off on the 9th of next month, and we hope
our Democratic friends will see that it is fully
represented. There are, we learn, quite num-
her of candidates for some Of the Offices to be
supplied, and we hope all will come prepared in
"a spirit of Cancellation to 60 for the nominees OF
the Convention with the spirit and, unanimity
which has thus far made us invincible. We, lin
Putnam, have nothing to fear, but it becomes us
not to relax that vigilance which is the price Of
liberty. And in other counties where our oppo-
nents are more equal, the most strenuous efforts
are required. Only union, the sacrifice of minor
preferences for the general good, and an honest
zeal for our cause can make us permanently sue
cessful Those who care nothing about politics
in county matters are aptto be equally loose upon
State nominations. We are in the minority in the
State and require the strctest organization to re-
gain the ascendancy.
