The secret of its success.

The system of treatment practiced at
the State Reform and Farm School is pro-
nounced as working marvelously well in
"training for usefulness in society, the very
worst element in the State" We are told
that the secret of this ''les in the exercise
of kind treatment and use of winning ways
instead of harsh constraint aud rigid gov

Might not the same sort of treatment be
salutary in the South?

Cure of Catarrh.

violent periodical attacks Of Catarrh. marked by
strong and febri 10 symptoms, violent Inflammation Of
the lining membrane Of the cavities of the head,
accompanied, in the first stage, by watery dis
charge from the nose, subsequently becoming acrd
and yelOy,a q d toward the close Of the attack Pur-
ulent and bloody. These attacks produced dis
tressing species Of headache. occurring periodically
each day period varying from one TO three
weeks. sometimes SO violent as TO incapacitate me
for business and cOnfue me to my bed At times the
attendant Inflammation would extend to the teeth,
producing tOOthsches or to the throat, occasoning
boar and partial loss OF voice; and TWICE with
in the last few years i has so affected the left eye as
to ronfne me for weeks to darkened room.
IhaYe tried medicines and applications OF various
kinds snuifs and other catarrhal preparations Of
some half dozen kinds; applications to the head Of
camphor, ginger, and hot lamentations Of different
kinds and in connection with these the usual emet-
les or cathartcs employed to induce cOunter-actOn
But none of these had produced any permanent inn
prOvement, and in few instances in which tenn
porary relief afforded, it at the expense Of
so much strength as to leave utterly exhausted.
Under these circumstances was lead, though with
great reluctance, from the supposed incurabity Of
the disease, to maze trial OF your treatment.

disease as it had been reached before, and al
eviating its symptoms TO an extent which had sup
posed impossible. At the time l gave you my
former certificate. while did not feel sure Of
a complete cure, had obtained a material re-
lief which amply repaid me for my trial Of
your treatment and which satisfied me that
the treatment was as effective as it was simple and
cal. A substantial escape from my old
attacks of catarrh for the unprecedented period Of
nearly half year, and that In spite of severe occur
rences of illness which would have formerly render
cd such attack inevitable, was, to me- proof Of an
important success. 1t is now six months since sent
you that statement and while it is unpleasant to
to appear thus constantly and in this guise before
the public IL seems to matter Of simple justice
to yourself and TO those who may be suffering as
was to add that am not only as fully satisfied as TO
the utility and efficacy of your method of treating
as was six months ago, but am now Of
the belief that If there is such thing cure for
chronic catarrh. in my case substantial cure has
been Effected.

1851 ga valentines .s3l7 l6
uern We have an arnrenate of nynr Inn


Here we have an aggregate of over t1o0
and a hair million valentines ranging in
price from three cents to 500, and the total
value of which, as sold at retail, is more
than three hundred thousand dollars. This,
too, be it remembered, is the production of
a single firm. The firm in question un-
doubtedly does heavier business in this
line than any other in the city, but If we
suppose that all other manufacturers located
here make only as many more, we have a
total of five millions made here each year,
and adding to this say two and half mil
lions made in other cities, which is as
suredly a low estimate we have no less
than seven and half million valentines for
which love-lorn men and maidens have eX-
pended or are likely to eXpend, nearly
$l,000000 this year. If the population of
the United States numbers no more than
thirty millions, it is plain that there have
been valentines enough made to allow
every fourth man, woman and child to send
one of these missiles.
But it may be said that the custom is
passing out of vogue in the cities, and that
the country people alone indulge in the
luxury, which can certainly not be called
an eccentricity. Some statistics, for the ac
curacy of which Mr.. j. II. Hallett, the
courteous and careful superintendent of
the carrier department of the city post
office vouches, hardly bear out this hy-
pothesis. The following is a statement of
the number of valentines posted in this
city and delivered by the carriers during
the last five years:

And these figures represent only those
classed as drop-letters and deposited in the
postoffice or its branches in the city. There
is no way of estimating the number of
those which came through the mail; if
there were, the aggregate would, of course,
be greatly increased. Those curious in
such matters may deduce whatever con-
clusions they please from these figures.
One fact is apparent at a glance-that for
one year, at least 1S64), Mars fairly got
the better of Venus. Then men and wo-
men, too, had sterner things to think of
than the frivolities which valentines rep
resent and the custom of sending them
seemed to be on the very verge of extinc-
tion; but as our armies got the upper hand
of the rebels, the cause of "the Union," as
q matter of course, became triumphant. A
part of the enormous increase OF the last
two years is, however, attributable to the
extension and perfection of the arrange
ments tor gathering and delivering letters
through the city by the regular carriers,
for during several years, as is well known,
the expresses established by private enter
prise did great deal of this work. One of
them, indeed, was accustomed to make
special preparations for this anniversary,
aud the receptacles placed at one or two
prominent points were capable OF contain
ing two or three bushels OF these missives.
This, however, was before the earliest of
the years in the above table, and the figures
given may, therefore be taken as a fair in
dex of the decline and subsequent rise of
the custom in question.
AS regards the style in which valentines
are manufactured nowadays, very little
need be said. Those of the lower grades
the "comics," as they are known in the
in
design as ever they were; and a very good
reason for this is the fact that many of the
same verses do duty now which have been
used for the last eight, ten or twenty years.
The same exaggerated designs which found
favor ten or twelve years ago, are popular
now. Nearly two hundred varieties of
"comics" are manufactured by the firm to
which we have referred above, and they
are adapted to all trades, professions, Occu-
pations and conditions of life" Goldfish
aristocracy," Fenians," "Shoemakers,"
"Chambermaids " "Slovens," "Molly
Mops," &c. AS the prices of sentimental
valentines indicate, the manner in which
they are produced varies from the plain to
the most carefully and gorgeously elabor-
ate. 1t puzzles many to understand how
one of these trifies can be gotten up In such
a shape as to make it sell for 500; but the
fact Is that even this figure is not by any
means the limit of their price. There is a
tradition that one of the Broadway dealers
not many years ago disposed of not less
than seven valentines which cost $500
each, and it may safely be asserted
that If any individual vas SO sim
pie as to wish to expend ten times
that sum upon one of those missives,
some enterprising manufacturer would
find way to accommodate him. Valen-
tines of this class are not simply combina-
tions of paper gorgeously gilded, carefully

Mississippi.

A marked change in public sentiment
is noticed in Mississippi. Before the pas
sage Of the Military Reconstruction bill
they were as violent secessionists as at any
time during the war. Since that measure
has been put in force there has been q
complete revolution in sentiment. They
are ready and willing not only to acquiesce
in this measure Of Reconstruction, but to
give it their .ctive support. The great
fear now is that the military commanders
will be too slow for the people. Before
the passage Of this bill all Northern men
were ostracised and subjected to continual
insult and contumeIy; now they are every
where socially recognized aud courted.
