A MIscHIEvoUs SIDE IssUE.-These are
the terms in which the Sacramento Union
cbaracterizes the proposition to force the
negro suffrage question into the Republican
platform. There should be no side issues,
and especially not such one as that, for
which the people are not prepared. The
other side issue which some insist on thrust
ing before the public continually-tbato of
paving certain of our national Indebtedness
in coin when the law declares that it may be
paid in legal tenders. is just as mischievous
as this one oe suffrage, and we are not sure
that it may net become more so-inasmuch
as the holders of that kind of Indebtedness
will endeavor to keep up the agitation, and
if they do, and the party do not repudiate
their pretensions and leave them to stand on
the plain letter of the law, as it shall be
declared by the Courts, there is no telling
where the mischief may end. In fact it will
be worse issue before the people than the
negro ouestion-for the latter may be defend
ed in Justice while the former cannot.-Bee.

Importance in every family:
l. If man faints, place him flat on his
back, and let him alone.
3 If any poison is swallowed, drink in
stantly half glass of cool water, with a
heaping teaspoonful each of common salt
and ground mustard stirred into it: this
yomits as soon as it reaches the stomach
but for fear some of the p ison may remain.
swallow the white of one or two raw eggs,
or drink cup of strong coffee. These two
are antidotes for greater number Of poisons
than any dozen other articles known, with
tie advantages of their being always at hand;
if not, a pint of sweet oil, or lamp oil, or
- drippngs," or melted butter, or lard. are
good substitutes, especially if they vomit
quickly.
g. The best thing to stop the bleeding of a
moderate cut instantly, is to cover it profuse.

ed ; tie handkerchief loosely around, near
the part between the wound and the heart ;
put a stick between the handkerchief and
skin and twist it around until the blood
ceases to flow keep it there until the doctor
comes if in position where the handker-
chief cannot be used, press the thumb on a
part near the wound, between the wound
and the heart increase the pressure until
the bleeding ceases, but do not lessen the
pressure until the physician arrives, so as to
glue up the wound by the coagulation or
clogg'ng OF the hardening blood.
D. If your clothing takes fire, slide the
hands down the dress, keeping them close to
the body as possible, at the same time sink.

has smothering effect upon the flames if
not extinguished, or great headway is got
ten, lie down on the floor, roll over and
over; or, better, envelope yourself in a car
pet, rug, bed cloth, or any garment you can
get hold of always preferring wooden.
g. If the body is tired. rest if the brain
is tired, sleep.
I. If the bowels are loose, lie down in a
warm bed, remain there, and eat nothing
until you are we'll.
s. 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 mean
while drink largely Of cold water or bot teas,
and exercise in the open air to the extent OF
a gentle perspration, and keep this up until
things are righted this suggestion, if prac-
ticed, would save myriads Of lives every wear,

are warmth, abstinence and repose.

Tan AND SUNBURN.-LAdies who have
spent the Summer in the country and at the
sea side may be glad to know of simple rem,
edies for tan and sunburn. When the face
is burnt red by exposure, it is best to bathe it
with little cold cream. This simple and
pleasant wash will remove the dscoloration
and swelling as if by magic, and leave the
skin cool and smooth. To prevent tan and
sunburn, it is good plan to take the juice
of fresh lemon and rub it in thoroughly
before going into the open air. allowing it to
dry on the face; at night dust little oat-
meal upon the skin, and the next morning
after washing it off apply little cold cream
or buttermilk. S ca simple and harmless
treatment will be found much more efectual
than the use Of cosmetics, which close up
the pores, and dry and roughen the finest
complexion in a frightful way, and in very
short space Of time

HUMBUG.-Barnum's gorilla is aid to be
a man, who inadvertently betrayed his secret
in his joy at recognizing an old friend, Mr.
Scholl of Indiana, who visited theexhibition,
and who happened to be the only person
present besides the keeper He afterwards
had an interview with the gorilla" from
whom he learned the following particulars
which were published in the Louisville
Courier: Mr.. c., who is handsome
young gentleman, about twenty eight years
of age, was taken with the humbug mania
on hearing Barnum lecture last year, and in
lucky moment conceived the gorilla scheme

This was nicely tanned with the hair on, and

GENERAL PoPE's VIRGINIA CAMPAIGN.-In
Harper's Monthly for November. % Porte
Crayon" General S.rother) continues his
" Personal Recollections by giving his exre.
rience in the Virginia campaign of General
Pope. As Mr.. Fitz John Porter has lately
directed public attention to this campaign by
his petition for new trial, the testimony of
General Strother, who served as one of Pope's
staff officers, may be of some value and in
terest. lie was one of the many staff officers
sent to accelerate the tardy movements of
Porter toward the front, having been dis
patched on the morning of the 29th of Au-
gust, with written order to Porter to move
his corps on Centeryile without delay, as
sanguinary battle was expected on hat day.
This was the day when Jackson was SO
severely punished, and when, in General
Strother's opinion, but tor the failure of
Mcdowell and Porter to reach the field, we
should certainly have destroyed Jackson"
He enters in his dairy for that day the fol-
lowing: Porter, who received the order
carried by myself this morning at sunrise)
to move on Centervile, and a second order
at Manassas, turning his course toward
Groveton, showed no disposition to assist in
the fight at all, but he laid quietly in sight
and hearing of the battle all the afternoon.
General Strother says of the battle of
August Doth: Without hesitation or de.
lay all the troops Immediately under Gen.
Pope's eyes were thrown upon the enemy.
All day long the roar of musketry and can
non, like the sounding of "a mighty gong, in.
vited the absent to a feast of death and
glory all day long the white battle-cloud,
visible from hill AMI plain for twenty miles
around, beckoned to laggard and skulker,
to the exhausted soldier who had dropped
behind his regiment, to the starved chieftian
who may have mistaken his way or misun,
derstood his orders all day long the anxious
commander counted the minutes, and urged
his legions to succession of brilliant but
exhaustive attacks, vainly listening for the
burst from the enemy's right and rear which
was to give us the victory"

STEVENS LETTER.-Thadeus Stevens has
just published letter on national finances.
lie don't approve of the Governments finan-
cial policy during the past six years: lie
thinks that billions of money have been
wasted by mismanagement,b but that with q
country so productive, the repnblic will al
ways be able to pay its just liabilities. He
denounces the National Bank system. Mon
ey is what the law makes it. The Govern
ment has power to make money of any ma
teaial it chooses-metal, paper, leather, tin,
greenbacks-and having made greenbacks
lawful money, they are lawful money to all
intents and purposes. He maintains that it
is Just and proper to pay the national debt
in greenbacks, and demonstrates that Con
gress in contracting loans never intended to
commit the Government to pay the principal
in coin, except where it is expressly so men,
toned. This matter was we'll considered and
well understood at the time The letter pro.
ceeds, at great length, to discuss the policy
and right of paying the debt with green.

suggested, the manner in which this should

policy, in contracting the currency four mill
