THE MINDEN PUBLIC SENTIMENT.-Durng the absence
of its editor Mr. Pratt, who is member of the State
Legislature, the conduct of this young and vigorous
journal is confded to the able management of the Hon.
H. A. Drew. In short but significant and tasteful
notice of this temporary change the Judge says, the
novelty Of the new business would be off itself
of inspiration, if he younger man and that in
default of this inspiration, he only draw the
strength of his political sentiments, which, as the
Judge is a native and most worthy native of the
State are to its honor, its dignity and its ancient
fame and therefore, in direct antagonism with the new
order of things instituted by vagrant and mendcant
loyalty. The Judge exposes the Janus-faced Chicago
PLATFORM in an article of great ability. We should
be particularly pleased if this temporary connection
with journalism should become..a permanent one, on
his part While perhaps, it would not recall the "ost

CURE FOR CoRNs.-The following recipe is
vouched for cure for corns: 'Put the feet
for half an hour, two or three successive nights,
in strong solution of soda. The alkali dis
solves the indurated cuticle, and the corns fall
Out spontaneously, leaving small cavity which
soon fills" An exchange says: " We know the
above remedy for corus to be efectual. We have
tried it and found that it acts like magic. Blu,
we do not think strong solution is desirable
We know of friend who tried the remedy or
our recommendation, but he made the solution
strong that with the corns, it took off por
tion of the skin of the foot. From one to two
tablespoonful of soda in a small foot-tub o. ho
water is sufficient to remove the corns, by letting
the afflicted member remain in it ten or ffteer
minutes.

GESTILITY is a good thing in its place. Young
ladies who lie in bed mornings and let their
mothers do all the work may think it genteel,
but the world will say it is pure laziness. 1t is
easier to be lazy than even genteel. Young men
who affect dress, idleness and good deal of per-
fumery and shirt-colar, and sum it up as gen.
teel thing, are off the track as far as possible
Geu'ility is an inward quality-a matter of ster-
