up the result of our late very pleasant trip.
We would say to the friends of the Union
and Of the Phil. Convention Resolutions,
that there are few clouds in the political
horizon that are worth fearing. A little
thunder, perhaps, may roll and threaten,
but like all other noises of harmless char
acter there will be no lightning to SILVER
and devastate. The days of political rant
are numbered: those who blow the horn of
desolation in the name of patriotism and

malignants sustain themselves except the

by independence unawed by fear; by in

us the following paragraph, clipped from
a lengthy article commencing Prof. Grants
celebrated Disinfectant. 1t has been Of
great use east, and resort to it here will
doubtless be beneficial. Here is the form
ula: Sawdust, saturated with fifteen
parts of water and one part of nitro-muri-
attic acid, and kept about the premises in
wooden vessels. This will give off gas
from the first. After four or five days the
material will be well worked. 1t should
be stirred once in while, and when CON-
pletely saturated, portions of the sawdust
may be thrown in water-cosets, cutters, or
any other place where noxious matter is in
a state of fermentation, 1t will disinfect
and entirely eradicate any unpleasant
smells instantly. 1t will Immediately
check putrifaction and eradicate malaria,
and at the same time it gives pleasant,
aromatic gas which purifes the air.
