HURRICANE IN THE WEST INDIES
Files OF late West India papers fur
nish us additional details oi the ter
rife hurricane which swept over some
Of those islands on the 9Th Of last
month. IN Guadalupe it was partic-
ularly severe. Houses We're lifted
from the ground, torn TO pieces and
blown in fragments to q considerable
distance, aud the air was filed with
the flying debris. Ia one town the
hospital was blown down aud all the
inmates either killed or wounded Be
tween two and three hundred persons
altogether were killed. Tho crops of
the island were destroyed. Scarcely
tree was left standing, Sud 1t IS be-
Iioved that many vessels were strand
ed or sunk

A FORTUNE FOR EvERYBODY. Y.-The edit
or of the Reese River Duly RsUeille, whose
statements command the confidence of
the public, says:
This mountain range was never equall-
ed in the richness and multiplicity of its
silver-bearing ores. For one hundred and
fifty miles, from north to south, from east
to west, scarcely a mile intervenes in
which are not bodies of metaliferOus rock
of immense value These hills that run
slopiDg away to the sky are pierced with
veins of delicate silver to an extent and
richness that will one day astouish the
world, and which make them more pyec-
ious to an advancing civilization, than
though crowned with the most gorgeous
palaces and cIthedrals. Nowhere upon
either continent Is such a great reward
offered to capitalists. The most consci-
entious need never fear Of betraying the
innocent or doubt that his largest prom
ises will be fulfilled.

TIE CATTLE DISEASE ~ ENGLAND.
-The fearful destruction of cattle in
England by the cattle plague is OF
high consequence, not only 10 the
people OF that country, but TO us tor
fl the plague continues It's ravages
the British people must be driven to
foreign markets for their supply Of
beef In that event they will first
come to the United States. Our stock
of cattle is now too small for our own
demands. The prices of beef is enor-
mously high and if spectators are
strengthened by a large demand tor
export they will continue to raise the
price till beef viii be beyond the
reach of consumers VINO gre in mOder,
ate circumstances.

Hostile shipping Of live hogs are
now paying Ohio farmers eleven cents per
pound for any thing of Porcine nature
that has four legs-and it astonishes Us to
learn that sensible men, with their cribs
and fields full Of corn, worth only fifty
cents per bushel, and selling all their
light hogs-half grown shOats-because
the price temps them, Why, at eleven
cents per pound for hogs corn properly
fed would realize to the feeder certainly
not less than one dollar per bushel: We
mean .ted-not dribbled out. We have
doubts expressed as to whether farmers
would reserve hogs enough for their own
use. 1t is quite sure that pretty clean
sweep is being made by the stock dealers,

Another simple thing I've aecidentlly
learned and it too, if not generally
known ought to be, relating to stagnant,
odOrous waiter in cisterns. Many per.
sons know how annoying this sometimes
becomes. After frequent eleanings and
other experiment utility, I was advised
to put, say two pounds of caustic soda in
the water, and it purified it in two hours.
Since then, when I tried what is called
concentrated lye, l had quite a good re-
suit. One or both articles can be OBJ
tanned at almost any druggists.

manl One day, looking back, rhe men saw a
line Of bridges in their rear 10 flames. Guess,
Charley says q trooper. Sherman has set the

We'll, if he has. reckon it's oil right
"By marching through the heart OF South
Carolina, instead of skIrting the sea. Sherman
pierced the State ~ its most vital part Ii was
the boast of Davis and Breckenridge that the sea
was not necessary 10 the South The ports
might be given up, and the South would be
stronger for the loss Their strength lay in
land. Well, Sherman marched inland, shutting
up one Confederate General in Atlanta, another
in Branchville, third in Charleston and a fourth
In Columbia These Generals never knew where
the blow would fall, and il never fell where they
thought il likely to do As Sherman moved up
northward, leaving Charleston on the right,
Beauregard was confident that be would have to
assault Branchville, great railway center, and
post from which he could equally menace
Charleston and Augusta. Branchvile was,
cordngy, strengthened with works, and occu-
pied in force.
but Sherman cut the railway lines, turned
the place, and compelled the enemy to abandon
Their works and guns. Branchyille passed. and
Columbia gained, Charleston fell of itself, as
Sherman had foretod in Savannah.
"Shermans genius comes out brightly in the
war. He was not one OF the fighting Generals.
When il was necessary TO hit hard, ss at Averys-
boro and Bentonvlle. no Hooker, no Hood could
strike more vigorously than he: but the pecu-
llarlty OF bis march Is that ii was great cam
paign conducted without great battle. If it
be the highest praise OF genius that it produces
magnificent results WITH trihing perturbation,
Sherman well deserves that praise II is doubt
ful whether the history of the war furnishes al
example of such splendid military achievements
at 80 slight cost of life"

The ChoIera-rhe ce.Bag Remedy


In letter to the London Times, DR.. John
Chapman gives an interesting account of the re-
suit of his treatment of cholera patients at South
ampton, by the application of ice-bsgs to the
ence. He states the point OF bis theory as fol-
lows:
That the nausea, vomiting, copious discharge
of the well-known lice water" stOols cold sweat
and peculiar odor from the BODY, are due to the
combined action of the hyper e mic spinal cord
and sympathetic nervous centers, in the same
manner as they induce phenomena of the like
kind, though less in degree, in cases OF summer
dlarrhea. and OF sea sickness when il is accom-
panied with diarrhea.
That cholera is neither contagious nor infec-
tlous IN any sense whatever, except through the
depressing Influence of fear.
That cholera may be completely averted, and
when developed. cured by modifying the TEN
perature of the final region.
After detailing the symptoms OF two cases of
cholera which fell under his observation, DIR.
Chapman offers the following suggestions for the
use of the ice-bag:
1. The cold must be applied along only mar
row strip-not more than four inches broad in
the adult-down the very centre of the bacA.
= The cold must be dry, not wet cold
5. The ice-bag should be continued along the
whole spine only until the cramps and aIgide
symptoms have been subdued.
4. The ice-bag should be continued to be ap-
Piled to the lower half of the spine until vomiting
and purging cease.
D. The patien! should be assduously watched,
to guard, In the stage of reaction, against cere-
oral or pulmonary congestions, the development
OF which will be facilitated by continuing the
Ice too long in the cervical and dorsal regions.
o. Ii such congestions should occur, they will
be denoted by heaviness incoherence, wandering,
and by laborious breathing, and may be subdued
oy applying the double colu mned water bag, at a
temperature of one hundred and twenty degrees
along the lower part of the neck and betw cen the
