Humbug Ear Doctors.


A family had son who began to be a
little bard Of hearing. Seeing a spread
eaqle advertisement of Specific Ear Doc
tor, the parents opened correspondence
with him, and were By bis letters, exciting
his fears, and parading bis own superhuman
skill induced to take the boy three hundred
miles, and stay several weeks. Certain
mystical applications ofan electric machine
were made daily for month, and the pa
rents and child were away from home at a
heavy expense. After making a sufficient
show TO warrant him in charging $3.50, the
so-called doctor applied mysterious wash,
and in an hour after, the deafness was gone.
The parerts went homejoyful, though il had
cost them the savings of several years, md
much disturbance Of their business for the
season. why should they not rejoice, when
their only son had been restored to sound
ness. They proclaimed the doctors ski !,
Gave him glaring certificate, and induced
Others to follow their example. Now fer
rbe secret. The electrical application wee
all a sham, used for effect upon the parents.
The drums of the boys ears had become
little thickened with wax, and lnciplent deaf
ness had resulted the same as if they had
baon filed with cotton. The mysterious
oar. wash used in the end, was simply little
warm soap and water, which washed out
the wax. and restored the hearing. Any
halfskiiled country physician. ifapplied to,
could have discovered the cause, and pre-
scribed the simple remedy. We notice BY
advertisements in our exchanges, at just
now large number of these quack doctors
re perambulating the country, stopping
day or two al time, now here, now there.
just long enough to gather up the spare
money Of the credulous, nervous people,and
then they are off. A few temporary slim
uIants, and the f,th of the beople 10 preten-
tious advertisements, give them Temporal
nv credit, and then they take care to get out
Of reach of their victims.

Cheap and Wholesome Dish.

A writer in an Eastern exchange, says;
"My family breakfasted this morning, July
90, mainly on boiled wheat. Boiled wheat
and milk. Boiled wheat and maple sugar.
Not wheat flour, nor wheaton greats, ncr
cracked wheat, ut whole grains of wheat,
sheIled from the best heads, the larger the
better, and soaked in cold water two or
three hours, and then boiled in the same
water one or two hours, or until quite soft,
and the watar all absorbed. 1t should all
be cooked while other culinary operations
are going on, as it needs to boil or simmer
on slow fire for a good while, and ere
must be taken at the last that it does not
burn. To prevent this, it may be finished
off by placing the kettle in pan Of water.
How easy for our soldiers to have change
in the bread and salt meat rations, il they
may /. e allowed to CLEAN few wheat heads,
and boil the grains in their camp kettles.
How convenient would this little item o.
knowledge in domestic cooking be to the
wife Of many farmer who would glad
Iy get up an extra dish for the tired bar
vest hands Try it. How many families
are this day living on short allowance,
right alongside of wheat field, or with
grain stack or barn near the house, because
they can not get il ground, the mill being
dried up or broken down, or occupied by
@the army" or suffering collapse, so that
no grinding can be had"

Noble md StalesnaAlike Views Of The Crisis.

New York, Jan. 2.--The steamer S. r.
Spaulding from New Orleans the oath,
has a rived. Among her passengers are
Genera Butler and staff, excepting Col
Jonas H. French and Capt John Clark,
Who remain.
General Butler, prior to leaving New
Orleans, gave a reception at the City Hail.
where hundreds Of citizens and officers call
ed on him. General Butler also issued a
farewell address to the citizens, in which
be says be leaves with the proud conscious
ness Of earring with him the blessings Of
The humble and loyal under the cottage
roof, and in the cabin Of the slave, quite
content to bear the sneers Of the salon or
the curses of the rich. He concludes BY
saying:
"Months Of experience AMI observaileu
have forced the conviction that the exist
.euce Of slavery is incompatible with tic
safety Of yourselves or Of the Union''
The Steamer Empire was fired into while
loading sugar at Marengo plantation, by
guerillas, killing G. McGil, Assistant En-.
gineer, and severely wounding WI. Reed,
a New York merchant, and wounding three
others.
On the oath, Gen. Banks issued an adj
dress, appended to which is the President
proclamation of emancipation. In his az
dress Gen Banks, after rehearsing the OBJ
jects and effect of the Presidents procla-
nation says that cit is manifest that the
changes suggested by the proclamation DO
not take place at any precise PERIOD and
Gen. Banks calls upon all persons, citizens
or slaves, to govern themselves according
| ". All unusual public demonstrations VIII
be for the present suspended, and proyoss
marshals are enjoined to prevent any dis
turbance of the public peace. Slaves are
advised to remain on the plantations until
their privileges are definitely established,
resting assured that whatever benefits the
government intends will be secured to
them.
Gen. Banks also instructs the officers to
secure the strictest discipline in the camps.
Attention is also called to the act of Con-
gress forbidding the return Of slaves by the
ermy.
The war; is not waged for the overthrow
of slavery, but 10 restore the constitutional
relations between the United States and
| each Of the States. If slavery is tt be pre-
served, the war must cease, and the former
| constitutional relations again be establish
ed; for no military man, in the event Of
a continuance Of the war, viii counsel the
preservation OF slavery. The continuance
Of the war will leave no other permanen
check to rebellion bnt emancipation. Con-
test in public, as in social life, strengthens
and consolidates brotherly affection. 1t is
baseless nationality that has not tested its
strength against domestic enemies. Sue
cess Of local interests widens the scoops Of
human history, and is attended with peace,
prosperity and power. 1t is out Of such
contests that great nations are born
Gen. Banks concludes thus:
Let us fulfill the conditions of this last
great trial, and become nation, grand
nation, with sense enough to govern our
solves, and strength to stard among the
world united.

Cairo, Jan. z.
Vicksburg had not been taken up to the
morning the LIST inst. The rebels had con-
centrated all their forces from GrenedaIack-
son andalong the lines of the road at Vicks-
burg amounting in all to $4,000 men
This overwhelming force attacked Sherman
on Monday, and forced him to fall back to
the first lines.
The rebel Notifications extend back from
the city six miles, and Sherman's forces
had fought their way to within two miles
Of the city when attacked by this superior
force.
The fighting on Sunday, is represented
as desperate in The extreme. Batteries and
fortifcltions were taken and retaken.
Whole regiments and even brigades we're
fighting hand TO hand over guns and for
the possession Of defenses.
The greatest loss was in the 4th Iowa.
Ii lost over GOO men in killed, wounded
and missing.
Gen. Hoyey was sent oui to execute spe-
cial order, has not been heard from, and
fears are entertained for his safety.
Nothing has been heard from our forces
below, nor can we learn that the gunboats
have taken any part in the action.
A report is that from the movement Of
rebel steamers from the city Of Louisiana
it is supposed that they are crossing rein
forcements, and it IS not improbable that
Gen. Holmes is there, as the last heard of
him he was marching in hat direction.

The New Flax Machine.

The dearth Of paper has naturally given
a strong impetus 10 all the branches Of
enterpr Use connected with its manufacture
at the same time calling greater pIominenc,
such labor-saving machinery as will most
readily facilitate the production Of the in
dispensable article. Mallory d Sanford's
new brake-an affair which is SO simple in
its construction that the spectator only Won
ders he himself did not Invent it long ago
is noticeable for the vast amount OF labor
it saves. The OPERATOR boy can work It
as well as man-lays on the machine an
armful of fax, and in an Instant it comes
out at the other end almost entitly free Of
the "shooyes" -the woody orpithy matter
and without tow.
The fibre remains unbroken, coming out
much softer than the fibre dressed in the
old way. 1t is said by those who use this
breake that it viii breake twenty to twenty
five hundred weight Of straw in ten hours.
while the saving Of the fibre is from six to
ten pounds on every hundred ofstraw. The
which is highly praised by thosea,x
growers and mill owners who have tried il,
possesses the ..ad litiona a Vantage ofperfect
security to life and limb. There is moth
ing in its operation to endanger the opera
tor. who cannot hurt himselfun he tries
very hard.
We trust some such necessary ma
chine will find its way out West, and
that. our farmers will turn their attention
10 the raising of fax, which will yield
900 Der cent. more profit then the raising
grain.

Up to the sai4ing Of the steamer, moth
ing had trauspired as to the intepded move
ments Of Gen. Banks, but it was not known
that campaign had been marked out, with
Baton Rouge as the base Of operations.
Nothing new from Vicksburg Or Port
Hudson.
The steamer George Washington has ar
rived from New Orleans.
On the 18th, Gen. Banks had removed
the restrictions upon The holding Of church
services, giving notice, however, herewith,
that cleygymen a,e subject to restrictions
imposed upon all other men. Quite q
number Of political prisoners were ordered
released on giving parole to commit no act
Of hostility to the United States.

Lieut.. Col. Mckee.

Wisconsin has lost no Drawer man, nor
one more earnest and patriotic, than Lieut..
Col. David Mckee, of the 18th Regiment,
killed in the recent battle of Murfreesboro.
Col. Mckee was, we believe, native of
Kentucky, but had lived in Grant county,
in this State, since boyhood. He was not
over thirty FIVE years of age. He was
some years ago member Of the Assem-
lily, and afterwards Assistant Clark Of that
body.
Upon the breaking out Of the war he
raised company and went into the Sec
ond r giment At the battle of Bull Run
he behaved with dsungui he'd GOODNESS and
courage. Some time last summer he was
promoted to the Lieutenant Colonelcy Of
the 18th regiment.
Col. Mckee was a nun of earnest con-
victlons, warm patriotism and indomitable
courage He knew what this war was
about, and he engaged in it, not for profit
or honor, but from high sense Of patriot
ic duty. His loss will be deeply felt by his
regiment and by his numerous friends and
acquaintance in the State.--,State Josrn
