Cure for YeIIoyv Fever.

The Pointe Coupee Echo publishes the
following prescription given by DR.. Warren
Stone, of New Orleans, to Captain dudley,
of the steamboat Eatchez. for the treatment
of any cases Of yellow fever that might oc-
cur on the boat when away from medical
assistance The Echo says the prescription
has been used in several cases on the Nat
chez with great success.
s.Feyer commences usually by chilly feel
ings, followed by pain in the back, head
and limbs, and heat Of skin. A perspira-
tionis easily obtained BY placing the patient
in bed and the feet in hot bath under COW
er, when 90 grains of quinine should be
given. If the bowles are confined, 10
grains of calomel may be given, and assist
ed, in or hours (if necessary by an in
lection, OF small dose of oil There is no
advantage in purging beyond merely evac-
uating the bowels. The quinine should be
given early in the disease. and the bowels
can be opened afterwards. In other words,
do not delay giving the quinine on account
of the bowles: and the dose of quininc may
be repeated in 8 OF 10 hours. Keep the
patient perfectly quiet. and as soon as the
fever is of. give some nurishing drink, such
as thin Cruel, broth Or tea, and = little slim
nlents If agreeable to the taste. and Of such
quality as the patient may choose.

friends to note the prediction:
In this state of things, relative to the
present and the future Of modern democracy
it may not be out Of place to here give a
rumor which have heard several times re-
peated on the street, towit:: that Mr.. John
c. Riyes. late Of the firm Of Blair q Riyes,
who is known and famed for being very
shrewed political prognosticator, has declar-
ed his firm conviction that the Wings will
elect the next President Of the United States.
If the runor is correct. Mr.. Rives viii be
quite wiling to say so. lit be correct, it
goes to show that the man who bet and won
his thousands Of dollars on Folks beating
Clay in 1914, but who would not bet a dol
lar that Cass would beat Taylor in 1913,
has his eyes opened IN regard to the result
of the Presidential election in 1856"

the Drrly 81 Union Wen.

We unhesitatingly declare II our firm
conviction that ali Union men, Wings as
well as Democrats. should support political
Offices those noblemen who boldly stood up
for theirwhole Country ID the terrible strug
| gle Of 1850. Itislrue that The Compromise
measures have been adopted as finality BY
each ofthe great National articles, and that
there is no formidable party agitating the
repeal Of any Of those measures. It is also
true that the whole Southern Rights Party
| in the State, since their overwhelming defeat
| in 1851 have, with wonderful facility, pro.
fessed to acuuiesce ia those measures: but
we take it to be equally true that they are
firmly fixed in their determination TO crush
and to theearth evrey Union Democrat that
participated either in the passage of th ose
measures or in their Yindication afterwards
and who has not Internationally surrender
himself to the tender mercies Of those who
for three years have been denouncing them
as traitors 10 their party, and craven SUBJ
