To PREVENT PIrrfNG BY THE SMALL Pox, Scion

To PREVENT PITrfNG BY TIE SHALL Pox, Scion
Robinson recommends the following: =.
"Get from the apothecary little vial of stuff
called LIQUID cutcle and soon as the pustules
are fully formed, apply little of the liquid with
little brush feather to each one. As fast they
get ripe, remove the scab and wipe away the matter
clean, and apply the liquid again. If any one of
them fills second time, you must remove the
ering, and repeat the process. 1t will smart like
fun for moment, but, my word for it. when you re-
cover, you shall not find mark upon that pretty
face Of yours to prove that you ever had the disease
am told the article is made of gun cotton dissolved
in chloroform It forms artificial skin over a
wound just as good as the real one"
TO prevent contagion and cleanse bedding and
rooms from the faint of small pox the Atlanta Con-
jsderaey says that's bed and all wooden covering
connected Herewith, which has been used by
small pox patient should be burnt; that the small
pox poison adherng to the pillow slips, Sheets and
other cotton or linen clothes used for bedding pur-
poses, should be thoroughly boiled in strong ley two
or three times The bedstead should be taken down,
placed in the open air, and well scalded every sixty
days for six months. The room should hot be used
for sleeping or eating purposes for shree months
after the removal of the small pox patient, and
every article of furniture taken thefefrom well
soalded and kept as circumstances will admit in
the omen air. If carpet be upon the floor Of a
small DOG patient it should be burnt; the floor re.
,peatediy scalded and scrubbed ard we'll lined for
ten days at time If the rooln be ceed, it should
receive at least two coats Of paint; if plastered

If the foregoing precautionary measures are used,

These moneys were sent on by him as part of re-

One ten and three twenty dollar Treasury notes
issued by the State of North Carolina, PAYABLE on
or before 1866, fundable in six per cent coupon
bonds and receivable for all public dues
Six five dollar Virginia Treasury notes PAYABLE
on demand at the Treasury in Richmond.

the facts above stated, reluctantly forced to

courteous, nelghbory or right? Can our South.

SPRING

BY RICHARD G. TRENCH.
Who was it that so lately said,
All pulses in thy heart were dead
Old Earth, that now in festal robes
Appesrest as bride new we'd?
Oh, wrapped so late in winding sheet,
Thy winding Sheet oh where is fed?
Lo! It's an emerald carpet now
Where the young monarch, Spring, may tres
He comes-and defeated king,
Old Winter, to the hills is fed.
The warm wind broke his frosty spear,
And lo0sed the helmet from his head:
And he, weak showers of arrowy sleet
From his strongholds has vainly sped.
All that was.sleeping is awake,
And all is living that was dead.
Who listens now can hear the streams
Leap tinkling down their pebbly bed.
Or see them, from their letters free,
Like silver snakes the meadows thread.
The joy, the life. the hope of earth,
They slept awhile, they were not dead:
O thou who say'st thy sere heart ne'er
With verdure can,a again be spread
O thou who mournest them that sleep,
Low lying in an earthly bed
Look out on this reviving world,
And be new hopes within thee bred.

, DEATH OF HORACE VERNET.

N. Horace Vernet, the popular French painter,
died on Saturday morning AS is we'll known, he
had been ailing for long time, and for some weeks
past there had been little hope of his recovery
Emile Jean Horace VerEett, the deceased was born
Paris, Both June, 1883, his family for many years
have been distinguished in French art Ills grand
tather very celebrated marine painter, and his
father eXcelled painter of horses and battles
Horace principally studied under his father and at
the age OF twenty produced his first work-a battle
piece. His talent was at once recognized; he soon
obtained favor at the Imperial Court and was deco
rated when he Was only twenty-five years of age
During the restoration he gained in popularity, and
the government which at first had treated him with
neglect, found it more polite to give him several
COMMISSIONS, and otherwise to recognize his talent
Upon being named sometime after director of the
School Of Rome be went to Italy, studied there the
masters OF the sixteenth century, and returned 10
France in 1886 Hehad become the Iavorite pain-
ter Of Louis Philippe who gave him commission to
decorate the Constantine Gallery at Versailles with
pictures representing the triumph of French arms
IN Algeria. The artist completed the commission
in six years. during which he visited Algeria several
times. Louis Philippe was so gratted, that he
offered to make Horace Vernet a peer, but this
honor the painter refused Subsequently he had
disagreement with the King and went to Russia.
There he was enthusiastically received by the EN-
peror Nicholas, and upon his return to France Louis
Philippe received him again into favor Under the
present Emperor he has stood his ground, not only
with the court, but with the public Horace YER
net had wonderful facility of execution and remark
able activity. His pictures have been always pop
ular in France, where the achievements Of the
French arms-snd 1t was in delineating these that
he excelled-secm to have special fascination for
all classes. He has been called the Scribe among
painters, and his works, both by their number and
their character may fairly be placed on much the
same intellectual level those of the fertile but no
means profound French dramatist.-Engtish paper,

GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS.

The following article descriptive of the manper
in which government contracts were formerly exc
cuted in the United States, though evidently old,
is good for all tme and deserves the republication
we give it. correspondent ola Tennessee paper
visited Washington City and wrote as follows:
Piles of brick, mortar, lumber &C., are scattered
every where but the workmen seem to be perpet-
ually gone to dinner. There's the new dome on the
capitol They have been hammering away at it for
number of years, and it is not finished yet. If
they had been employed by the job they would have
had it done in twelve eighteen months; but they
are employed on heavy salaries, and by the day,
and don't care how long it takes them-the LONGER
the better. They climb to the dome occasionally,
pull off their coats, take tug at bar of iron.
put on their coats again, and go of and stay week.
The whole thing is regular swindle, and the
government seems to like it-perhaps because it is
SO much like the government This dome, when
completed, will have cost about million ofdollars,
and will have been four, or ve six years in build
ing. l can 60 to Nashville and have one just like it
put up in twelve months for half the money, and
clear large fortune by the job.
If all the money that has been appropriated for
public buildings and other improvements in Wash
ington had been judiciousy and honestly expended,
this would be to-day Of the finest cities OF the
world. As it is considering all things, next to no
city at ALL 1.-THE government had occasion to build
