takes in reference to the great question Of
the day; there is yigor and an energy ex-
hibited in all its arrangements that is supe-
rior to most Of our political papers at home,
here.
/. The Republican party here, are preparing
for the coming contest, in ernest. Indiana
will do her duty in swelling the majority in
fovor Of freedom and Republicanisfn. She
threw off the yoke which bound her to Old
Li'asism, a year ago last fall, and no reaction,
am confident, has taken place, since. The
old line Democrats claimed a victory last
fall, but as there was no issue at stake, then
We are willing to accede it to them.
The election of Banks has electrified us
and caused us to exult in excess of joy. On
the contrary, the Presidents Kansas Mes
sage has caused indignation to be. exhibited
on the countenances of all parties here.

SOMETHING THAT Gov. GoRMAN wouLp
HAVE vEroED.-The two Houses recently
passed resolutions endorsing the integrity
and character Of John E. Warren, Esq, and
denouncing as unjust his recent removal from
the Office of District Attorney for Minneso-
ia. The action Of the two branches in this
matter did not require the consideration OF
the Governor; but his Excellency, somehow
OF other, got hold of copy, and yesterday.
officially informed the Council that he would
have vetoed the resolutions, had they only
been drawn in shape so as to require his
signature in order to give them proper
force

FoR THE misunderstanding
sometime since by railroad from Co
lumbus to Baltimore, | took my seat
Immediately in front of gentleman
who was suffering under a paroxysm
of hiccups, to degree that | had
never before witnessed. In few
minutes person appeared from the
end of the car and took a seat beside
him, when he said "Sir, can vou
tell me what is good for the hiccups =?
| have been afflicted in the way von
see me since yesterday noon, and
have had no rest or relief from my
physician to whom | applied for as
sistance, ! am worn out with suffer
ing" To whom the person replied :
"Sir, | will cure you in less than two
minutes by the watch. Have conf
dence, for | am sure | can do it.
Hold up high above your head two
fingers of your hand; lean back in
your seat, open your mouth and
throat so as to give free passage to
your lungs; breathe very long and
softly, and look very steadily at your
fingers" In less than the time spe-
cited, the cure was performed, one
hiccup only occurring during the tri-
al. The patient could not express
his gratitude, while the practitioner
only extracted from him as fee the
promise that he would extend the
knowledge which he had impaired as
freely as he had received it, assuring
him that he would never be disap-
pointed in the result. We were
struck with the fact. Since then |
have often had occasion to practice
upon patients in the same disorder,
and never without the most signal
success.-Wdter Cure Journal.
