Smoke Wounds.

A correspondent of the Country Gentle
man ulentons the case Of a horse, which
was just ready to die of an old festered
wound. Fortunately, he adds, at this stage
of the case, an old Pennsylvania teamster
came to our relief, and recommended smo-
king with old shoes. A smoke was made of
hog trough, and placed under the swollen
parts. In a few hours the swelling wholly
subsidized, and the wound commenced dis
charging matter. The horse was sav ed
Some years after this, heard two persons
talking abont horse which had been gored
in the abdomen. In this case everything
hads hdsa tried liz, ssiss ss.ThA.ooeSs eGast'eve
and when | next heard from him the Old
horse was well. SO much for old wounds.
In the same year, cut my foot with an axe.
The lady Of the house, seizing the foot whhe
it was yet bleeding freely, held it over pan
containing smoking Tag locks. In few
minutes the bleeding stopped, and the smoke
was removed, and u baudage applied to pro-
tect it from accidental blows. The wound
never matterated, and consequently never
panied me. have seen this remedy tried
in many similar cases, and always with the
same results. Let the reader bear in mind
that no liuiment or salve, drawing or heal
ing, should be applied You have merely to
smoke the wound well and nature will do
the rest. suppose the smoke OF burning
wood would produce the same results, but it
would not be SO manageable. There is a
principle in the smoke of wood, which, when
applied to the flesh coagulates the a'bumen,
thus rendering it unsusceptible OF pulretac
ton. The same principle stops bleeding ny
cosgulatiug the blood. 1t promotes healing,
and may be applied with decided benefit to
almost all ulcers, wounds and cutaneous
diseases.

Must Fight,

ThelMarysville Express says:-We predict
the wings of the Republican party must nee.
essarily fight, and sure enough the fight is
already opening The Grass Valley Union
declares br it, and the Nevada Gazette calls
it "ong hair" and expresses "pity" for that
class OF politicians. "Pity," some poet tells
us is akin to love, but in some cases "pity"
is made 10 appear as akin to contempt
How does the Grass Valley Union like its
brothers. salutationr The Union speaks as
follows:
The DR is CAsT,-We have been stren-
uousIy laborng to preserve harmony in the
ranks Of the Union party of Neva'la county,
duty of a journalist having the welfare of bis
country al heart For while we ndulged
the fond hope that our endeavors would
prove successful But to day the fact stares
US fully in the face, and every man who is
not wilfuIly Blind must see it-that there
will be two Union tickets put forward at the
approaching primaries.
In view of This fact, and with a full under
standing Of the merits Of both of these par
ties-the long hairs and short hairs-it is
the duty Of every lover of good government,
and the advocates Of principles, not men, to
choose for himself upon which side he will
take position, We have carefully weighed
the leaders of both wings Of our party in the
balance, and after mature consideration, have
come to the conclusion that the interests OF
the "long hairs" as they are called, are our
interests, and those Of every man ,s VINO would
To avoid mistakes, then, and for the pur-
pose of making our readers fully aware OF
the position we occupy, we now fearless'y
and unhesitatingly proclaim that should this
split be forced upon upon-as forced we be-
lieve it will be-the columns Of the Grass
Valley Union shall be devoted to securing
the success of the "long hairs"
This shows creditable degree of candor
and contrasts handsomely in this respect
with It's big namesake of Sacramento.

GwIN AND SoNoRA.-The Paris corres-

The Doctor said, before leaving, that he
had obtained from the French Government
all the guarantees in the way of safety and
protection which he required, and as he be-
lieves the mountains Of Sonora are almost

king big fortune for himself and for all
concerned. II is in fact because both Gov
ernments are compelled to look to these
mines-the one to get back what it has
spent, and the other the means to live--and
because, further, that DR.. Gwin is undoubt.
edly the best man they could find for this
speculation, that the guarantees have been
furnished, if it be true that they have been
furnished. 1t is thought that after the
French troops have been Withdrawn from all
the rest of the country few will be left in
Sonora on the pretext that they are not
to maintain any political principles or power,
but to protect miners whose labors are for
the good of the whole commercial world.

Ironclads.

DR.. Holden, Of Newark N. j., formerly of
the United States medical service, at recent
meeting of the Essex Medical Union, read
an interesting paper on peculiar disease
which has appeared on board Of our ironclads.
The disease, which was denominated "Iron
clad Fever" for the want Of name, never
occurred anywhere else, or at least has never
been before made the subject of report. or
record. II made its appearance soon after
the first roncads were anchored in South.
ern harbors II was very fatal; only about
one-ei9hth of those attacked recovered. The
earliest or prominen; symptoms we're the en-
tire loss of voice, with pain in the neck,
head and snipe. Dissenton nrnvad tbsf an
disease. Great prostration was evident
among those who were exposed, but were
not the subjects Of attack. Cases not too
far advanced recovered when taken ashore.
The disease wholly ceased when certain inn
portant improvements were introduced, ac.
complishing more perfect ventilation, and
the water tanks were lined. DR.. Holden at.
tributes the disease to the influence of the
iron surroundings, and the use Of the water,
so impregnated with iron rust as TO be Of
dark red color and thick consistence; also to
the want of ventilation, which was probably
the real cause. When more efficient means
were adopted to force air into the cabins by
the use Of the engine blowers, the disease
was no longer observed ss''i nl'e A@'F

CH1LpREN.-When child is hurt, never
hush it. 1t is inexcusable barbarty; it is
repressipg her instinct and for this reason if
physical punishment is inflicted on a child 1t
is perfect brutality. Cases are on record
where children have been thrown into con-
vulsons in their efforts TO silence. A thou.
sand times better is it to soothe by kindly
words and acts, divert the mind by telling
stories, or by explaining pictures, or by pro-
viding it with new toys. We have many a
time in our professional experience as to sick
children, found more benefit to be derived
from beautiful or interesting toy, than from
a dose of physic. The greatest humanity a
mother can exhibit in respect to her sick
child is to divert it, divert it, divert it, in all
pleasing ways possible, as we ourselves who
are larger children, feel sometimes really
sick, when cheerful face and much h-loved
friend has come in, and before we know it
we have forgotten what was the matter with

A BID FOR THE PEopLE's PARTY SUPPoR

A BID FOR THE PEopLE's PARTY SUPPORT
Hon. A. A. Sargent, Of Nevada county,
candidate for United States Senator, is maxi
ing heavy bid against Shafter, PixIey,
Phelps, and other supposed Senatorial aspi-
rants of the city. lie is after the Peoples
party influence with "sharp stick" as will
appear from the following extract from his
organ, the Nevada Transcript. We doubt
if the political influence he seeks can benefit
him. even if he succeeds in obtaining it,
We do not think the Transcript is pursuing
a course calculated either to produce harmo-
ny ard good feeling in the Union ranks, or
to advance the political interests of its favor
ie for Senator.-S. II. CaH. $40
The Transcript is the only interior paper
we have yet seen which indorses the Peo
ple's party of San Francisco as a Union par
ty. 1t processes to be and is mixed or, mo
party" organization, which might be excused
in ordinary times, but now, when the Union
party alone can suffer from its opposition,
should be discountenanc iced by all men who
have Union principles at heart.-Neuada
Gazette.
The motives of the Peoples party in step
ping outside of municipal matters in San
Francisco is easily understood. The major
ity of that party are undoubtedly Union
men, while the leaders and secret movers are
such men as VIM. T. Coleman, French mer-
chants and men who are the tools Of Napo'
leon aud Maximilian and also another class
who, when the rebellion commenced, believ-
ed that it was unconstitutional to coerce a
State, but constitutional to form a Pacific
Republic, and their organs are the S. F. BuI-
letin and Alta Californian. We believe tina.
to the secret influence Of the Peoples party,
we are indebted for that damnipg Act of null
lifcation known as the Specific Contract Act
that has destroyed the prosperity OF the
State OF California for the last three years,
except along Front street and in the bank
ing houses of San francisco. As astonishing
as it may appear, that same peoples party has
controlled the financial policy Of this State
for three years past, and to-day we believe
its leaders are in the interest of Maximilian
and for proof we point to the detention Of
the vessels in the harbor of San Francisco
that lately attempted to sail for Mexico to
aid the Republicans Of that land.-Folsom
Telegraph.

EE Horace Greedy, in the N. Y. Tribune,

to lead, not 10 follow, public opinion. He
says: sa aas1 efa sfp u<1
ION single point, we insist on being bet
ter understood Several have written us,
protesting against 'sentimentality' tender
ness to criminals &c. They entirely mis-
take our position 1t is in the interest not
of the criminal but Of the yet undepraved
that we resist nattilljcMons that tend to
barbarze the copjaXdiaity. 1t is in the in-
terest of human liberty that we resist all that
tends to invest the defeated champions of
Slavery with the honors of Martyrdom. We
cannot we'll agree with those who hold that
great criminal escapes punishment unless
kind Of physical torture; for our respective
standponts are not within hail OF each other:
but we can possibly make students of histo-
ry and of human nature comprehend that no
party triumphant in great civil war ever
yet suffered from treating his vanqushed
opponent with too much lenity. The dan
ger is all the other way; for there will al
ways be hundred voices crying "Smites"
for every one which pleads "Spare!" In fact
they who would silence the one only evince
an uneasy consciousness that their side of
the question cannot abide discussion. Bet
ter let all be fairly heard, and believe that
they who "bear the sword" in such crisis
are most unlikely, even it unprompted to
rigor, TO "hear it in vain."sa 4I aIal

Walking Leaves.

Almost every one has heard of the won
dertul walking leaves of Australia For a
long time after the discovery of that great
island, many people really believed that the
leaves of a certain tree which f1ourishes there
could walk about the ground. The story
arose in this way. some English sailors land
ed upon the coast one day. After roaming
about until they were tired, they set down
under tree to rest themselves. A puff OF
wind came along and blew off shower Of
leaves, which after turning over and over in
the air, as leaves generally do, finally rested
upon the ground. As it was midsummer,
and everything appeared quite green, the
circumstance puzzled the sailors considerably.
But their surprise was much greater, as
you may suppose, when after short time,
they saw the leaves crawling along on the
ground toward the trunk of the tree. They
ran at once for their vessels, without stop-
ping to examine into the matter at all, and
set sail from the land where everything
seemed to be bewitched. One of The men
said that he expected every moment to see
the trees set to dance jig"
r Subsequent explorations in Australia have
taught us that these walking leaves are in
secls. They live upon the trees. Their bod
les are very thin and flat, their wings forming
large leaf'like organs. When they are dis
turbed their legs are folded away under their
bodies, having the shape exactly like leaf
with the stem all complete They are of a
bright green color in the Summer, but they
gradually change in the Fall, with the leaves,
to the brown of frost-bitten vegeation.-
When shaken from the tree, they lie for a
few minutes upon the ground as though they
were dead, but presently they begin to crawl
along towards the tree, which they ascend
again. They rarely use their wings, although
they are pretty we'll supplied in this respect.

ARkEsT OF JuNIUs BRuTus BooTH.-The
Philadelphia Ledger says Of the arrest Of Ju-
Mus Brutus Booth: n.ft.stg .s4
There were peculiar circumstances con.
nected with the arrest Of Junius Brutus
Booth in this city. After his arrest by De.
tective Krupp he was taken to the Provost
Marshals office, to await the departure Of
the train for Washington. While in the Of
fee lie was in charge Of two men as guard.
He engaged in very little conversation, but
was smoking cigar, and during this time
he frequently took from bis pocket what ap-
peared to be scraps of paper with which to
light his cigar The guard did not attach
any importance to the act, but it afterwards
;ranspired that these were letters and envel.
opes which were thus destroyed. After he
had been sent away, the attention of Capt.
Lane and Commissioner Barrett was called
to the fact; they gathered together the frsg'
ments, but the letters were so effsctually de-
stroyed that nothing can now be gained from
them. The corner of an envelope showed
the printed inscription, "British Province"
and small remnant of the letter inside Of
this envelope contained only the words
"your brother" laa ,.fsV nH11 waro
Whlle IN tue office Booth was engaged in
looking over Bible on the table. When
he had finished this be took narrow strip
of paper and wrote what now appears to
have been a letter. 1t was written on both
sides; but as soon as finished he tore them
into small pieces and threw them into che
spit box on the floor. After he had gone
an attempt was made to collect the frag
ments of this letter, but without success
Enough was found to show that the letter
was intended for his sister, aud referred to
the fact that he was waiting in the Marshal's
office for the cars. He bade her to be Of
good cheer. There is also reference 10
