ABsTEMlous DHr.--Many cases Of i'll,
ness, both in adults and children, may be
readily cured by abstinence from all foods.
Headaches, disordercd stomachs, and many
other attacks are often caused by violating
the rules Of health, and in consequences,
some parts Of the system IRE overloaded, OF
some Of the organs are closged. Omittin!
one, two, or three meals, az the case may
be, gives the 8, stem a chunce to rest and
allows tho clogged organs to dispose oI
their burdens. The practice Of giving
drugs TO clear out the stomach, though il
may afford the needed temporary relief, al,
ways weukcns the system, while abstinence
secures the good result without doing any
injury.
Said a young gentleman TO a distinguished
medical practitioner, in Philadelphia, "Doc.
tor, what do you do for yourself when you
have q turn ofheadache Or other slight
atlackr'
go without my dinner" was the reply.
"And IL that does not cure you, what
thcni"
"Go without my supper"
"But if that does not cure you, what
then!"
Go without my breakfast. We physi-
cians seldom take medicine ourselves, or use
it in our families, for we know that absti-
nence ia better, but we cannot make our
patients believe It,"
Many cases OF slight i~ndispusition are
cured Oy a change of diet. Thus, ifpcr-
sons suller constipation, hus n headache,
slight ATTACKS of fever or dyspepsia, the cause
may often be removed by eating rye musl,
and molusses, baked apples, and other fruits.

JAMES NJ. RAY, Cashier, publishes a card
in the Indianapolis Journal of the 2sth inst,
warning the public to "look out for a So
counterfeit bill on the State Bank Of Indi-
ana in circulation" The whole ground
work and general appearance of the bill are
too light, and the lines of shading around
the heads of Taylor and Cass are plainly to
be seen, while they are not perceptibie in
the genuine. The filing and engraved:let~
tering are plausible, and care needs TO be
taken by the public to prevent imposi,
ton.

SMART.-Mr. Smart, of Maine, introduced
into the House of Representatives a resolu-
ton, and, in the official record Of the pro-
ccedings in the GiObe, there appeared three
column speech which was very severe upon
the Administration. This wac a smart way
ofgetting smart sayings published THE cx-
p .nse ofthe Treasury. We think it a de-
rided bore to pay for the speeches that are
delivered, and if we arc to incur the add.
tional expense Of paying Tor what are not de-
livered, We may as well turn the Govern
ment into q general printing office. The
House, however, was smart enough to pass a
resolution prohibiting any more Mr.. ,Smarts
rom acting in this way. Besides the ex-
pcnse, any charge in this way by a corrupt
man, and no other would thus act, would OBJ
tain q circulation, and unless as mean a man
could be found upon the other side to employ
the same means 10 contradict il, it might pass
current as a very severe charge upon the
Administration But Mr.. Smart is headed.
The next time he wants a speech published
that no could not deliver, he will have to do
it at his W expense.

PIERoE,s -CARlnEr-Whshington corres.

PIERcE's ~CABiEEr.-Wbshington cores
Pondents and newspaper editors generally
seem determined to form a cabinet for the
President elect. They guess at a wide range
and name persons Of all kinds Of views, so
that it will te almost impossible to guess
wrong inevery instance. Just now the cur
rent has turned pretty strongly upon Mr.
Gushing Of Massachusetts,, Mr.. Dix of New
York, Mr.. Nicholson of Tennessee, Mr..
Nelson Of maryland and Mr.. Hunter Of Vir-
ginia, the latter to be Secretary Of State
But this conglomeration does not agree
with the statement, semi-oficial, that Cen
Pierce intends to have a"unit" Of his cab
met. In regard TO annexation, DIR. Dix and
Mr.. Hunter are widely apart in their views
while upon the Wilmot Proviso, the formeT
gentleman differs as materially from Mr.
Nicholson, to whom Gen. Cass' celebrated
letter of ls4s was addressed. OF the per
sons named above, Mr.. Gushing and Mr.
Hunter have been Wings, leading Wings.
But we do not think the Cabinet can con
sist of the gentlemen named. Some of then
will doubtless be chosen. Mr.. Cushing''
chances are good, while it is pretty certain
that a position has been offered to Mr.. Hun
ter. His friends say, however, that be will
not accept. Our opinion is that Mr.. Pierce
will not select men whose power and inlu
} ence may overshadow his own. In tina
case, his chance for a re. nomination woul'
be considerably weakened, and we think HI
will be careful to get men who will work 70
and not against him. A short time will de
eide the matter.

LocoFoco STATE CoNvEKTIox.-r-Dele-
gates from various parts Of the State are
pouring into Columbus and the next few
days will be a busy time for the wire-work-
ers. Candidates are plenty for oil the Of
fees, except that Of Supreme Judge, and we
may anticipate a rich and racy time. The
difficulties in the party are to be harmonic
ed, not a very easy matter by the way, and
then from the multiplicity of candidates Sc
~lections are tn be made. At this time, Col.
Medill's chances for the ~Governorship are
bright and promising, and nn;ess the Miami
tribe manage very adroitly he will be nomi-
mated. But n dead set will be made against
him and the many delegates from this coun-
ty will have a time Of III in getting him thro'.
The Miamis are a shrewd set of politicians
and have played their cards well; but they
have now arraycd against them that class q
wire-wo kers who can seem all things to al
men, and we would not be surprised If the
Colonel convinced some of them at least tina
he was as good q Miami as he was a Temper
ance man. In this game he is not surpas
sed by the best of them, In politics he is III
good Fakir Of silva, as the latter is in jug
gIery.

THE AFFAIRS OF EuRoPE.-The New
York Courier thinks that at no period since
the coup d'stat of Napoleon. twelve months
ago, have the affairs Of Eu ope commanded
so general and close attention as at present.
All Europe is under an underlined and yet
undeniable apprehension that its peaceful
relations which have been preserved essen.
tally unimpaired for thirty-seven years are
soonto be broken up. This all is held to
depend upon the will of single man and that
man is universally distrusted. No reliance
whatever is rePosed in the professions OF
Louis Napoleon, and great Importance is
consequently attached to the slightest indi-
cations Of his future policy.

SUFFERING IN MADEIRA.--A CALAMITY
has fallen on Madeira unparalleled in its his
tory. The vintage, the revenue of which
furnished the chief means Of providing sub

failure, and the potato crop, formerly an
other important article of their food,i is still
extensively diseased. All ~classes, there
fore, are suffering, and as there are few
sources in the island to which they can look

painful anxiety and apprehension.

CUSTOMS OFFICERS, FEEs.-It is stated
that certain ~incumbents Of custom-houses-

fees Of their Offices, in addition to their sala-
ries, since 1912, amounting to 100000 OF
5000, 900, and probably even more than that.
The Secretary Of the Treasury very natu-
rally hesitates about paying such a demand.
II Is alleged, however, that the Attorney
General asserts the legality Of the claim
The President, equally with the Secretary
ofthe Treasury, is opposed to the claim; but,
regal ding the Attorney General Us the prop
or legal adviser of the Government, feels a
d~elicacy in everything his decision on such
a point. The claim, II is alleged, rests upon
s inc technical error in legislation, recently
discovered by a cute ofice-holder. The sub
ject will shortly come up, or is now, before
CongTs ss.

FEATs OF THE CHINESE ~JUeeLERs.-A
correspondent Of the Lowell Vox Popul
thus describes one Of the performances of
the Chinese jugglersin San Francisco:
A plank sixteen inches wide and six feet
high was placed at the back Of the stage,
and the impaler with knives took his stand
about fifteen or twenty feet in front of it,
The knives were about seven-inch blades,
and four-inch handles, strong and pointed.
After playing with them for a time, tossing
and whirling them in a most wonderful man
ner, he threw them one after another, fast
ening them firmly in the plank before him.
He then drew them out, and another China
man took his stand before the plank, or rath-
err at the side OF it, holding out his arm "a
cross the same, and the impuler threw one
knife above and another below il, as close
ly as they could have been placed there by
the most careful hand, completely fastening
his arm upon the plank. The other arm
was then reached across and fastened in the
same way, the knives striking firmly and
the handles crossing each other. The Chi
naman then reached forward his head, and
quick as thought two knives were thrown
the one above and the other below his neck,
seemingly within one-fourth of an inch on
either side, Such precision and daring was
truly wonderful, and the whole evenings
performance elected unbounded applause.
