PEPPER.-Pepper is an almost univsr-
sal cOndiment. Black pepper initiates
and iDfames the coating of the stomach;
red pepper does mott excilss bnt does
not irritate; consequently il should be used
instead ST black pepper. It was known
to the Romans, and has been IN use in
the Fast Indies from time immemorial, as
il coTrects that hatulsnce which attends
the large use of vegetable food; but to
those of weak and languid stomachs. it is
manifold more healthful to use cayenne
pepper at meals than any form of winss
brandy, or beer that can be named, because
it stimulates without reaction Of sleepiness
or debility.

The Limeric Chronicle states that thir-
teen out of seventeen Fenian prisoners
in the gaol of that county have voluntarily
rendered to the British authorities their
services as informers! Is it possible that
a pure patriotism sctuatss an oTgination,
so mahy members of which are so inhu-

mers as Fenians in Ireland. Il is proba-

PLArFoRM OF THE N. Y. woAk1SenEN.

PLATFORM OF THE n. Y. WoRKINGMEN
The following placard, which has been
extensively posted Ia the prominent pla-
ces of the city of New York, contains g
large smount of political economy. We
would like exceedingly TO see its main fea
lures embodied in our political platform
1--WE are opposed to foreign free trade,
for these, among other reasons:
/. Because it drains the country of it's
gold to pay for foreign merchandise, and
leaves US with a paper currency.
2. Because it fills our markets with
foreign made goods, which crwod our
own out of market
8. Because workingmen need the great
est possible demand for their labor, which
is checked by the importation of goods
made with foreign steam engins.
4 Because 1t is to the interests of
WorkiDgmen to have the greatest diversity
of embloyments ard the best markets
for the most remunerative labor.
5. Because diversified and skilled
industry forms the great element of pros
perity in a free and civilized country.
6 Because the mau who buys food
ought to be close neighbor to the man
who raises food, so that they can exchange
cloth for corn and beef, with the lowest
cost.
7. Because trade and transportation
double the cost to those who consume the
products of the hand, or of tho land.
8. Because free trade was the doc
trine Of the traitors and nullifers of South
Carolina, for which they endeavored to
destroy the Union in 1882. and who filed
our country with blood and tears by their
rebellion. end left the nation covered with
graves and filed with widows and OF
phans.
8. Because 'free trade and slavery
lave always been companions in the cause
of the traitors who taught the doctrine
that capital should own labor "

AN ITEM WHICH SHOULD Be READ -
We have probably all of us met with in:
stances in which word heedlessly spo.
ken against the reputation of female has
been magnifed by malicious minds until
the cloud has been dark enough to over
shadow her whole existence. To those " he
are accustomed, not necessarily from bad
motives, but from tkoughtessuess, tc
speak lightly of ladies, we commend these
hints as worthy of consideration.
Never use a Iady's name in an improp
er place, at an improper time, or in NIX
ed company. Never make assertions
about her you think untrue, or illusions
that you feel she herself would blush tc
hear. When you meet with men who do
not scruple to make use of a woman e
name in a reckless and unprincipled man.
ner. shun them, for they are the worst
members of the commuuity-men lost to
every sense Of honor, eveey feeling of hu-
manity.
Many a good and worthy woman &
character has been ruined and heartbrokeu
by lie manufactured by some villain
and repeated where it should not have
been. and in the presence of those whose
little judgment could not deter them from
circulating the foul and Dragging report
A Islander is soon propagatei; and the
smallest thing derogatory to a woman e
character will fly on the wings of the wind
and magnify as it circulates, until its mon.
strous weight brushes the poor, uncon
scious victim. Respect the name of wo
man, for your mother and sisters are wo
men; and as you would have their lives
uaimbiItered by the 'laDderer's tongue
heed the i'll that your own words may
bring upon the mother, the sister, or the
wife of some fellow creature.

Mrs. Swisshelm is a tart writer, and
says some things that go right to the
point. In referring to Mr.. Greeley e
claim to "Magnanimity" in his conduct
towards Jeff. Davis, she puts it in the
following strong common sense light:
"Mr. Gree'ey may afford to be mag
unanimous. He lost no husband, or faith
er, or con in the war. He lost no limbs
and carries no bullets, or the scar of them,
IN his body. Neither he nor his, SILVER
ed on Belle Isle, or prayed for death at
Andersonville. It is easy to forgive in
juries committed against other folks.
The tax the war imposes on him, is a
pittance to the addition it made to his
business. OF the 100000 he made by
writing a record of the rebellion. be can
afford to give $4,000 to the head of the
rebellion, for furnishing material, and
still make a profit. But every one was
not so fortunate"

The GEYsERs OF NEvADA-About
twenty miles from Carson City, Nevada,
are come remarkable mineral springs.
called Steamboat Springs from the noise
they make, which sounds like several
steamers discharing steam. These springs
cover an area of about three acres. The
water is boiling hot, and the escaping
steam can be seen for miles before sun
rise, and the atmosphere in the vicinity
is filed with the smell of sulphur. There
are cFeVices in the rocks where the water
can be seen boiling at depth of thirty
feet. There is also a spring which is
called Breathing Spring. It is shaped
much like a well. The water recedes to
the depth of eight OF ten feet, aud re-
mains calm for Eve minutes, and then
commences to boil, and rises until il
shoots into the air above for ten minutes,
and in FIVE minutes it begins to recede.

Miasm and malaria are the great death
agents throughout the largest portion OF
the habitable globe.
Miasm is malaria, but malaria is no:
miasm.
Miasm is an emanation from decaying
vegetation. Malaria is bad air, whatever
may be its source. ALI impure air ia
Malaria
Miasm is rarifed by a sun of ninety
degrees, that is rises rapidly above Us,
and is innocuous. The cool of the
morning and evening of summer time con :
denses it, and causes it to fall to the sur
face of the earth, where it is breathed by
man, and it is the fruitful cause of pestil-
ence. plague. and epidemic fevers. Thus
the higher persons sleep above the surface
of the earth, the healthier is the atmos-
phere.
While as a general rule It is better to
sleep in apartments having window and
Fireplace open in seasons yet where miasm
abounds, evidencing its presence by chillS
and fever, fever and ague, diarrheas,
aud the like, it is better to sleep with
closed windows than4o have them open,
because men are known TO fatten in iails
and small cells, while the breathing
of malaria single night has originated
diseases which, from the violence of their
action, are scarcely distinguishable from
the effects of swallowing corrosive poison,
as witness the National Hotel disease.
But although the air inside of house
is supplied from the outside, yet, if the
windows and outside doors are closed, it
is supplied 10 such small quantities.
through the crevices, that it is at once
heated by indoor air, and carried to the
ceiling where it is above reach. The
difference between our thermometer in our
hall aud the one out doors, about FIVE
O'Clock of a summers morning. is ten
degrees. Hence, during the prevalence
of miasm, at least IN August and Septem
Der, it is better to close the chamber
windows. but let an inner door aad the
fireplace be kept open.

Quite number of the wealthiest men of
New York. some of them formerly tainted
with Radicalism, and all of them still claiming
to be Republicans, have undertaken to engl-
neer, ostensiby on their own account, the NOM
ination of Gen. Grant for the Presidency
Whilst thus assuming political functions, they
profess desire to have nothing TO do with
politicians; but express, with refreshing SIM
nlicitv the hope to be able to lead the latter,
and eventually to control them. 1t is proposed
by these capitalists and merchants, many OF
whom made large fortunes out of the war, to
get up sort of independent organization,
which is to embrace every person or hrm OF
business importance throughout the country,
and by means of these political tradesmen, as
ntra-distinguished from trading politicians, 10
nulIity the successes achieved by the Democrats
at the late elections, and to obtain for the Re
publlcans a new lease of power. The Con-
mittee to whom the management OF this move
mont Is entrusted Is COMPOSED OF the following
