New ENGLAND DEFENDED.-Gov
ernor Morton, of Indiana, Kentuckian
by birth, thus eloquenily defended New
England in a speech at one of the great
Union demonstrations now kindling a
new the popular patriotism Of the west
New Englands ofense is this. She
loves liberty too well. Where in the
history Of this war is the record that a
New England regiment has shown cow
ardce Where the New England re-
giment that has turned from the field of
battle? He presented the striking con-
trast between the New England and the
Southern States in the revolution
There were four New England and six
Southern States. New England had a
population of 100000 souls. The south
ern States had 1'S32,000, almost double.
The 4 New England States furnished
for the war of liberty 10000 more SOL
dlers than all the six southern States
more than double their number. Mas.
sachusetts alone furnished | / 500 more
soldiers than al! the southern States
combined. But further, Massachusetts
58,000-South Carolina $3.50. What
do the people say to kicking Massachu-
sets out of the Union to take South Car
DINA in? Again. Massachusetts, was the
first State invaded by the British. In
few months they were driven from her
borders never to return.
To New England, said the speaker,
more than to all others, we owe our ex-
pansion and prosperity. From her we
borrowed our school houses, and our
free democratic government In the late
war the same history was renewed. The
record of our gallant navy was made by
New England men. Nineteen-twentieths
of our sailors then were Yankees So
in this rebellion, brilliant exploits of our
gunboats in the Mississippi and on the
Cumberland we're made by New Eng
landers. Nineteen twentieths of our sail
ors in the regular navy are Yankees
And shall we kick New England out to
let South Carolina in? 1t is true, the
New England people have their faults,
but the speaker had never seen a perfect
man or perfect State-and in his hum
bic opinion, the Yankees were the most
intelligent, the most enterprising, and
the most virtuous people, for their num-
oers, on the face of the EARTH"

REMEDY FOR DIPTHERIA.-Make 2
bags that will reach from ear to ear and
fill them with ashes and salt. Dip them
10 hot water, and wiring them out so they
will not drip and apply them to the pa
TENTS throat. Cover up the whole with
a flannel cloth, and change them as often
as they becomes cool, until the throat
becomes irritated and near blisteting.-
For children it is necessary TO put fan
mel clothes between the ashes and the
throat to prevent blistering. When the
ashes have been on a sufficient time,
take a wet flannel cloth and rub it with
CASTLE soap until it is covered with a
thick lather. Dip it in hot water and
apply it TO the throat and change as they
COOL AT the same time use a gargle
made of one teaspoonful of cayenne pep
per, one of salt, one of molasses in tea
cupfu of hot water, and when cool add
one-fourth as much cider vinegar, and
gargle every 1j minutes until the pa
tent requires sleep. A gargle made of
CASTLE soap is good TO be used part Of
the time.
A correspondent in Maine, in sending
the above remedy says there had been
number of deaths from diptheria until
this remedy was used, sinse when all
had recovered.

ca The mint at Philadelphia is now
running its entire force upon nickIes
The cost of making this insignificant
coin is nearly as much as the cost o.
making double eagles. The only diff
erence is that the latter coin is weighed
and adjusted, piece by piece. The labor
daily done at the mint, if expended up.
on double eagles, would produce $40
600 per day. As now expended
the results are but about twenty-five
hundred dollars per day in nickel.

ADVANTAGE OF BEING A WOMAN


A woman says what she chooses with
out being knocked down for it. She can
take snooze after dinner while her
husband goes to work. She can 60 into
the street without being asked to stand
treat ut every saloon. She can stay at
home in time of war, and get married
again if her husband is killed. She can
wear corsets if too thick, and some other
6xin's if too thin. She can get divorced
from her husband whenever she sees
one she likes better. She can get her
husband ir debt all over, until he warns
the public not to trust her on bis account
But all these advantages are balanced
nv the great fact that she cannot sing
bass, go sparkling, or climb tree with
any degree of propriety.
