IMPORTANCE OF PRESENCE OF
MIND IN A FAMILY.


/. If man faints. place him fat or
his back, and let him alone.
2. If any poison is swallowed, drink
instantly half glass of cool water, with
heaping teaspoonful each of common
salt and ground mustard stirred into it;
this vomts as soon as it reaches the
stomach; but for fear some OF the poison
may remain, swallow the white of one or
two raw eggs, or a cup of strong coffee.
These two are antidotes for a greater
number of poisons than any dozen other
articles known. with the advantage of
their being always at hand. Ifthey can
not be had, pint of sweet oil, lamp oil,
"drippings," melted butter, or lard, are
good substitutes, especially if they vomit
quickly.
g. The best thing to stop the bleeding
of moderate cut instantly, is to cover it

4. If the blood comes from a wound
by jets or spirits, be spry, or the man will
die in few minutes, because an artery is

near the part between the wound and the
heart; put a stick between the handker-
chief and the skin and twist it around un.
til the blood ceases to flow; keep it there
until the doctor comes; if in position
where the handkerchief cannot be used,
press the thumb on spot near the
wound between the wound and the heart;
increase the pressure until the bleeding
ceases, but do not lessen the pressure for
an instant, until the physician arrives, SO
as to glue up the wound by the coagula-
ton or cooling of the hardening blood.
S. If your clothes takes fire, slide the
hands down the dress, keeping them as
close to the body as possible, at the same
time sinking to the floor by bending the
knees; this has smothering effect upon
the flames; if not exliI gushed, or great
Roadway is gotten, lie down on the floor
roll over and over; or better, envelope
yourself in a carpet, rug, bedclolh, or any
garment you can get hold of, always Pre-.

brain is tired, sleep.
7. If the bowels are loose. lie down in
a warm bed, remain there, and eat
nothing until you are we'll. Drink a
small dose of Blackberry Wine or Brandy
three times day.
8. If an action Of the bowels does not
occur at the usual hour, eat not an atom
until they do act, at least for thirty-six
hours; meanwhile, drink largely of cold
water, and take dose of dog wood bit
tiers three times day. exercising in the
open air to the extent OF gentle perspi>
ration, and keep this up until things are
rigbted. This suggestion, if practiced,
would save thousands of lives every
year, both in city and country.

LOST IN THE DARK.

LOST IN THE DARK.
Come back come back for the light went out
When your eyes looked away from my own
Grieved and weary, wandered about
In the cold and dark Alone
Trying to find my way to your side!
Come, darling, and take my hand
Once drew it away in my pride
From the tenderest one in the land
Come back! come back with the springs sweet
prime,
With the birds from over the sea,
For turn my face from the golden time
And my ear from its minstrelsy
For my passionate soul cries out for the day
When your heart fell away from mine
Cries out for the cup that pushed away,
Splitting its costly wine
Gene! and your kiss shall kindle again
The passion bloom on my cheek
Come! and read in my eyes the pain
That my lips are too proud to speak
Come for | lie in the cold without
Stabbed with agony wild,
All for you-and my heart cries out
Like poor little motheress child

This might be true, and the fact that corruptions

that public officers should not be trusted. They
must necessarily be trusted, and there was no
reason for partially dsfranchisng the State orseiy

Mr. Gates as a member of the Committee on

Mr.. Mcconnell disclaimed any purpose Of show

to provide against possibilities that may arise. He
was satisfied, however, that the House was not

BEN. HOLLADAY.

The st. Louis Democrat of June 9th
contains the following in regard to Ben.
Holladay's Overland Mail Line, styling
it monstrous abuse" etc. As far as
Montana Territory is concerned, Mr..
Democrat, she will speak for herself, and
in doing SO, will say that she has no
reason to complain of Holladay's Over
land Line. Our mails have been received
regularly by this line since the first set
tlement of Montana. Idaho does not
complain. The California papers have
not had anything to say about the '-mon-
strous abuse" nor has that State, or any
of the Territories mentioned, asked for
a reform in the service. We take it
that the Editor of that paper is mon
strous" busy-body and monstrous y
fool:
The people of ST. Louis and the whole
west are interested in this subject, and
their representatives should cooperate
with the Pacific coast members in moy
ing for thorough reform. For many
years to come, the Overland Mail stages,
will fill the gap between the two ends of
the Pacific Railroad now building from
Missouri westward and from California
eastward. 1t is of the highest impor-
tance to the thousands of our former cit
liens living in Colorado, Utah, Idaho and
Montana Territories, and in California
and Oregon, that this service shall be
efficiently and regularly performed. The
terms of the contract should be enforced,
and if Holiday is unable to it, there
are other parties ready and willing to
step into his shoes and take the contract
off his hands. The Government pays an
enormous sum yearly for the service,
and it is but truth to say that the time
by this shortest route across the coun
try to California is worse than it was
formerly, when the mails were carried
between this city and San Francisco by
what is called the Oxbow route via Fort
Smith and Ell Paso. There was regular
lty as well as speed in the service on that
line, and with full thousand miles less
OF travel and comparatively settled
country at regular intervals on the route.
an energetic effort to make time and
carry the mail daily must meet with
success. Under the present arrange
ment, the attempts to carry the mails to
and from California by the overland
route is wretched farce. A reform is
demanded, and we call upon the Missouri
delegation in Congress to lend helping
hand in effecting that much desired
event.

from Minnesota, informs us that It
is the intention of the Minnesota Stage
Coinpany t. l,ytt an Il ils -tbeED Enc ol
coaches from Minnesota To Montana, as
early as the first of April of next year.
The cars are now running % ST. Cloud
seventy-tive miles above st. Paul, and a
line OF stages runs west from the former
point, distance of three hundred miles,
to Fort Abercrombie We already have
stages running to Fort Benton, so that
the only new line to be opened would
be from the latter place to Abercro1nbie,
a distance of not over seven hundred
miles. 1t is proposed to place stations
upon this route at the distance of ten
miles apart, and this may be easily done,
not only because wood, water and grass
are plentiful at all points, but because
General Grant has promised full protec-
ton to the road. 1t is thought that the
distance from Helena to St. Cloud can
be made in eleven days, and through to
New York in just two weeks. Many of
the stages of the Minnesota Company
have been thrown out of employment
by the introduction of railroads, and
we believe they can find no better open
ng for the display of their enterprise,
than that of which they propose to take
advantage.-HelenG ReDUblican.
