q RoNDo."-While taking walk up Main street
a few evenings since, we were struck with the
solemn and deserted appearance of certain sa-
looms, where only few nights ago we observed
crowds of anxious men (and in one instance
woman) standing around billiard table, shout
ing at the top of their voices, " Rondo! Culo !!
Rondo who bets only half dollar left, who
takes it ?" Upon enquirng as to the cause of
this cessation of hostilties, we learned that the
District Attorney had addressed each of the gen.
tlemanly propretorsof of these games polite little
note, notifying them that nothing less than an
immediate discontnuance thereof would prevent
criminal prosecution. The proprietors not
wishing to risk the consequences of a " suit with
the government" dried up" their games. So
with us Rondo" is no more. We learn that in

Remedy for Scarlet Fever.

AS this alarming disease prevails at

"As scarlet fever often prevails In

with interest by parents. 1t would

prepared by any druggist:
"About 1920 or 1921, 1t was an
nounced in Berlin, though first notic-
ed in Leipsic, that Belladonna is a
preventative against scarlet fever; and
in Hufecandt'S Journal, we find it
further noticed by DR. Berdnt He
used the extract: two grains 9issolv-
ed in one ounce Of water : dose for
an infant of one year two or three
drops morning andevening; two years,
three to four drops, and SO on, accor-
ding to the age, up to twelve drops,
the maximum dose. One hundred and
eighty-one children, of one hundred
and ninety 1--we, using it, were ex-
empt from it, although exposed; and
those who took the disease, its symp-
toms were less severe. DR.. Muhsk-

the same, after an experience of sew

The Vegetable Girl.
BY MARY TAYLOR.

Behind market stall, installed,
mark it every day,
Stands at her stand, the fairest girl
I've met with at the bay;
Her two lips are of cherry red,
Her hands pretty pair,
With such pretty turn up nose,
And lovely reddish hair.
IT'S there she stands from morn till night,
Her customers to please,
And to appease their appetite
She sells them beans and peas.
Attracted by the glances from
The apple of her eye,
And by her Chilli apples. too,
Each passer by viii buy.
She stands upon her little feet,
Throughout the live long day,
And sells her celery and things
A big feat by the way.o
She changes off her stock for change,
Attending to each call;
And when she has but one beet left,
She says, "Now that beats all.'

lady were coming down from Iowa
city to Dsvensport when the Gals

and gave the old lady a seat, while
bis companion, another young gent,
remained steadfast, and let the old

our old friend, so he concluded TO get
a seat, in some way, AID quick as
thought, turned to the young man
on the seat beside his wife, and said,
"Will you be SO kind as to watch that

woman; so the old gentleman got a
seat, and bis wife never was known
to take fit afterwards.

Swallowing it up Again.

We suppose the description given
by the Dutchman of bis encounter
with the oyster is familiar to most
of our readers. He first swallowed
the oyster down and then he
swallowed it up again. 10 the pro-
cess of swallowing thing down. aud
{ hen swallowing it up again, some OF
the know nothing leaders are as ex-
merit as the Dutchman. Some OF
them, we believe, have swallowed the
Kansas bill down, swallowed 1t up,
and have taken it in their mouths
again for a second swallow down, In
the course of few canvasses.
The present know nothing candi-
date for Governor is admirably gift
ed in this exercise of swallowing
both ways. Mr.. Hatton, our Bob,
voted for the Assessor Law passed
by the last Legislature, law which
has increased the taxes of the peo-
ole at least to the extent oil paying
the Assessors, and has done no good.
He now authorizes the Lebanon Her.
aid to say that if elected Governor,
he will recommend its repeal.
This is swallowing thing DOWN
and swallowing It up again in pret'
ty quick time. Yet the party that
nominated this young man to De
Chief Magistrate in the great Com
mopwealth of Tennessee would have
rs believe that he possesses more diS-
cretion, foresight, and administrative
capacity than men of great age ana
experience. Mr.. II 'tton Is doubt,

PREVENTION OF PITrING IN SMALL
Pox. Alr. Martin, the senior surgeon
OF the Gurney Hospital for diseases
of the skin, has communicated to the
Medical Times very important plan,
which be has adopted during the last
fourteen years, for preventing pittiDg
in small pox, and which. be states, has
always proved successful. The plan
consists in applying the acetum can
tharides, to the apex of each spot
or pustule of the disease, on all the
exposed surface of the body, until
blisteriug is evident by the whiteness
of the skin in the part subjected to
the application, when the fluid pro-
ducing it is to be washed off with
water or thin arrow root Cruel. Tbs
pain attending the application Of the
vesicating fluid is very light and

WHOLE NO. sIa,
SAVE YOUR SUGAR.

The prOspe ctsof any reduction in
the price of sugar are growing small
by degrees and beautifully less. In
addition to the alarming intelligence
of short crops from the sugar produ-
ciGg islands, and the monopolizing
operations Of sugar spectators ia all
parts of the globe where sugar is to
be found, We have, says the New York
Times, the still further discouraging
news that the French Credit Mobihss.
is about to purchase up all the best
sugar-estates in the Island of Cuba.
If tha: mammoth Company should
succeed in getting possession Of the
sugar-plantations of the "Queen OF
Antilles, We may as well give up all
hope of ever again returning to the
days of cheap sugar, and it would be
as well for every house keeper TO see
where a teaspoonful Of sweetenipg
can be dispensed With. We must eat
less cake, fewer preserves. give our
children fewer candies, take cur pills
without sugar coats, eat onr straw
berries au natural, and drink our tea
as the Chinese do, without sweeten-
ing. 1t would require very moder-
ate degree Of economy in the use of
sugar by our housekeepers to bring
down the price Of an article in spite
of short crops, spectators, and the
Credit Mo6iher. And we are not
sure that the general health of our
people would not be improved by the
change. We are beyond question
the greatest sugar consumers 10 the
world, and many Of our diseases may
be attributed to too free a use of
sweet food. Let there be an attempt
made to bring about a moderate re-
formation 10 this respect. 1t will be
certain 10 have good financial effect
