VALUABLE REcIPE.-Mr.> A. Bronson, of
Meadville, Pa, says, from fifteen years eApe-
rience, he finds that Indian meal poultice, COW
cred over with young hyson tea, softened with
hot water, and laid over burns or frozen flesh,
as hot as can be borne, will relieve the pain in
five minutes. If blisters have not arisen be-
fore, they will not after ii is put on, and that
one pouliice is generally sufficient to effect a

USE OF SALT IN COOKING VEGETABLES
Here is something every body ought 10 have
known long ago, and that everybody should now
read and remember
If ope portion of vegetables be boiled in pure
distilled or rain water, and another in water to
which little salt has been added, decided
difference is perceptible in the tenderness Of
the two. Vegetables boiled in pure water are
vastly inferior. This inferiority may go SO far,
in the case of onions, that they are almost en-
tirely destitute of either taste or odor, though
when cooked in salt water, in addition to the
pleasant salt taste, peculiar sweetness and
strong aroma. They also contain more solu-
bic matter than when cooked in pure water
Water which contains l-42Oth of its weight of
salt is far better for cooking vegetables than
pure water, because the salt hinders the solu-
ton and evaporation of the soluble and flavor
ing principles Of the egelables.-Saentifc

THIS remedy hss won for itself such notoriety
from its Of every variety of pulmonary disease,
that it is entirely unnecessary to recount the ev
dences of its virtues in any community where it
has been employed. So wide is the field of its use
fulness, and so numerous the cases of its cures,
that almost every section of the coun+Tv abounds
in persons publicly known, who have been restored
from alarming and even desperate diseases OF the
lungs by its use. When once tried its superiority
over every other medicine of its kind is too appa-
rent to escape observation and where its virtues
known, the public no longer hesitate what antidote
to employ for the distressing and dangerous afec-
tons of the pulmonary organs which are incident
to our climate. And not only in formidable at
tacks upon the lungs, but for the milder varieties
of COLDS, CoueHs, HoARsKNEss, &C.; and for

When John Bsnyan lay prisoner in
bedford Jail, prosecuted for non-conformity
to the union Of Church and State, some Of
his opponents thought to bring him into
prac teal accord with the customary Christ
mas festivities, and then turn him into ridi-
Guile for inconsistency So they prepared
a substantial Chistmas pie, which was &C.
lcordingly sent in hot and smoking on the
25th Of December. John, to whom the
smell of such dinner was indeed rarity,
shut up where he then was, stuck his knife
boldly irto the pie, when at once, his watch

NIcARAGuA.-For the last five or six
years Nicaragua and Nicaraguan affairs
have been prolific subject for comment and
discussion with diplonists on both sides of
the Atlantic. The late revolution in that
little republic hai brought the name OF Nj
caragua still more conspicuously before
newspaper readers, and has excited much
diversity ofopnion as to the policy, object,
and permenancy OF the new government;
and in connection with these things, we
find publicity given TO statements which are
calculated to mislead the public. 1t is sta.
ted that Nicaragua contains white popu-
lation of only 10000 persons. This 10 an
error. A census of the republic was taken
in the year 1886 which is the latest source
of information on the subject. According
to il, the population was then $4,000, OF
whom $4,000 were set down as whites, 15,-
600 negroes, 90! 900 Indians, and 100000
of mixed race, composed Of the negro, In.
dian and Spanish, with the Indian greatly
predominating The principal towns were
Leon, contsining 10000 inhabitants; Masa-
va, 10000; Margua, $4,000; Chnandega,
1900; Granada, 10000; Segevis. 5000;
and Rivas, 5000.

people. felt curious to know who Frank

Senate met and adjourned to Thurs
day.
House.-The following are the proceed
ings Of the House this morning. Mr.. Les
ter, having from time to time two votes for
speaker, stated distinctly that he had never
been a candidate for the office, and never
would be. He stated this lest it might be
suspected that there was something wrong
in his position. He had as consistently
and regularly voted for Mr.. Banks as any
man in the House.
DIR. Stuart, in explaining the reason why
he had never been voting for Mr.. Richard
son, said that his, Richardson's and Fuller's
position had been explained distinctly and
explicitly, but Mr.. Banks had not. He
asked Mr.. Banks whether he had ever said,
in a speech in Maine-"Let the Union
slde," -
Mr.. Banks repled-"That in that speech
he said there might be such state Of things
in which he would consent; he had refer.
ence TO future contingencies, such as the
prostration oil the gigantic power Of the gov
eminent to the support of single institu-
ton, Slavery. He was for the Union as it
is, and would meet its enemies in the fair
field. He was for the Union as the guaran-
tee of the rights of the States, and the main
prop of our government. He would have
the Union stand on the records OF history
in the langsage Of Washington-"Crowned
with immortal fame"
The proposition when the House adjourned,
namely: that no debate shall be in order
until election of speaker. was tabled. A
resolution to elect speaker by plurality, was
rejected by Is majority. House then voted
with the following result: Banks lOl,
Richardson -, Fuller 81. Scattering III !.
