Corns Cured.

We stated in another number that the
simplest, safest, most available and con-
sequently the best cure for Germs on thS
toes consisted in three operations:
/. Soak the feet in hot water for fif-
teen minutes, night and morning, for q
week. p
2. After the soaking, rub little sweet
oil on the corn, or any other mild form
of grease, with the fingers for about Ave
minutes.
3. Cut a hole in one, two. or three
thicknesses of soft buckskin, and bind is
on the toe so that the hole in the buck
skin shall receive the corn.
The object of the water and oil is to-
soften the corn and parts adjoining !; the
object of the buckskin is to protect the
corn from pressure.
In very short time the corn viii be-
como painless, and will subsequently hlf
out itself, as it is growth, and is pushed
upward and outward by the more natural
growth beneath. 1t is thrown out Of the
body by the action of the parts. as Gsplin<
ter or crushed bone, as being no longer
a part of the body. If any thing else Is.
done to the corn, it should simply be-
picked out with the ingcr-nail, as cutting
makes it take deeper root, and danger
GUS bleedings sometimes occur. Our OBJ
ject was to recommend something which
we knew to be safe, practicable and eff.
cient. We stated further that corns were
like consumption, were never cured and
that the original causes of them, to. witt
pressure with q tight SHOE. or friction
with loose one, would cause them to
return, and even more readily than at first,
because the structure of the skin about .
corn is malformed for life, and would no
more become entirely natural than en-
gor would grow again if cut of. So,
when person has had the consumption
and gets well, he can not be said to be
perfectly cursd, because he will ALWAYS
remain with deficiency of lungs the
portion destroyed never can be replaced
yet by making the remainder of the lungs
work more fully, he may have even better
health than he ever had before. Thus, 10
is literally and strictly true, that corns
ohA SOAohAAP eAO
cause their very existence depends on the
destruction of the organization and sub
stance Of part Of the body to be replaced.
There are corn doctors and corn SalVss,
some Of which latter are Of very power
ful constituents. They do remove the
corns, but for no longer time than the
plan we have devised, while ours has the
preference, as costing nothing, and being
wholly without danger. Remedies are
valuable for the multitude in proportions
as they are safe, cheap and attainabls.
If corns are pared down, from time to
time, their base becomes more deeply root
ed. and in old age blacksn, gangrens, and
ultimately produce death! Therefore, We
advise the prompt treatment Of corns ss
above. 1t may be months before thsy re-
turn; but when they do, the same treat
ment will always be effectual and al
ways safe.-HaPs Journal Of Rsal&.

WHAT CAUSED THE DUEL BETwEES

duel between these distinguished men. was
the following insulting language used by
Mr. Randolph towards Mr.. CLAY, in secret
session of the Senate. 1925 al1e71 -o7
This man-(mankind. / crave your
pardon) this worm. little insects forgive
the insult, was spit out of tie womb Of
weakness-was raised to a higher life than
he was born to, for he was raised to the
society Of blackguards. Some fortune kind
to him, cruel to us, has tossed him in the
office of Secretary of State. Contempt has
the property of descending. but she stoops
far short Of him. It is not what he is.
but where he is, that put my thoughts in
action. The alphabet which writes the
name of Thersites, Of BLACKBOARD, Of
suualidity. refuses her letters for him.
That mind that thinks on what it cannot
express. can scarcely think of him. A
hyperbole for meanness would be an clip

A REvoIUT1oxARY RELIc.-Ons of the
most valuable and interesting relies Of the
Revolution is in possession of John z.
Putnam, Esq. White Greek, Washing
ton County. We allude to the brace oil
pistols belonging to his grandfather. Is
rael Putnam, the Revolutionary hero.
Their history is remarkable. They orig
inally belonged to Major Pitcairn of the
British Army, who commanded the ex-
petition to Concord and Lexington. 1t
was at the latter place. as everybody re-
members, that Pitcairn drew them from
his holsters with the insolent words
Throw down your arms, you rebels, and
disperse," and fired upon the militiamen,
the first shot Of the Revolution. In the
subsequent retreat to Boston, while his
command was harrassed by the American
"sharp-shooters," Major Pitcarin's horse
was shot under him, and left onlthe road.
The saddle and pistols, of course, fell in
to the hands of the '.Rebels," and were
carried to Gen. Putnam, then in command
of the American forces. They were used
by him. during the war, were borne upon
his coffin at his funeral, and were handed
down as a family heir-loom, to his son
and grandson. They are wholly Of metal,
steel, and elaborate workmanship. Mr..
Putnam has them preserved in mahog-
any case. accompanied with a certificate
in the handwriting Of Aaron Burr. that
they were the pistols used by Gen. Put
nam while in active service. Another
certificate from soldier named Monroe,
who was present when they were taken
from Pitcarin's horse. places their genu-
ineness beyond doubt. Mr.. Putnam
says that he remembers the pistols in the
possession of his family sixty three years.

It is stated that there exists in the
Southern States a Southern league-one
of whose aims is to augment the supply
Of negro labor in the planting States.
They claim that the States themselves
have a perfect right to make laws legali-
zing and regulating an African free-ap-
prentice system, and that Congress has
no power to. interfere with, or prohibit it.
Stating with this claim, they arc now
engaged in. operating upon the State OF
Mississippi with view to securing the
enactment of alaw under which to imme-
diately carry out system Of African APP
prenticeship-or "the Slave trade in dis
fguise." If they succeed, we shall have
a new contest before Congress in relation
to its power to regulate this branch oil
'commerce" by suppressing it altogether.
