Gapes, Blindness, Chambers, Megrims or Giddi-

a small quantity with corn meal, moistened,
and feed twice q day. While these diseases
prevail, use Il little in their feed once or twice
week, and your poultry will be kept free from
all disease. In severe attacks oftentimes they
do not eat; it will then be necessary to admin

CoIFAx Oh THE RCTORTFs.

Schuyler Colfax, the next Vice Presi-
dent of United States, was detained in
Cleveland, Ohio, on Tuesday, having
missed a railroad connection. Loyal
men soon found it out and called on him
for speech. Mr.. Coifax spoke as fol-
lows:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN hav heard
of surprise parties, and this is truly a
surprise party to me. Accidently miss
ing connection here this morning, went
up town to the house of a friend, intend
ing to pass quietly on without attract
ing observation. BUTT seems some of
you knew the facts, and now YOU are
here with hearts warm for the great
cause, l doubt not. 1 see your faces
look happy, and think YOU have been
reading the election returns. Long ago
our opponents told US to wait--a reac-
ton was to set in that would annihilate
us. We waited, turning our eyes east
ward, and when New Hampshire voted
we heard the sound. 1t was ''TIamp,
tramP tramp, the boys are marching p
Loud cheers Then we heard that
old Vermont would start the reaction.
Vermont voted, and we heard-"Tramp,
tramp, tramp! the boys are marching !"
Then Maine was to have a reaction. She
voted, and we heard the steady Tramp.
tramp, tramp! the boys are marching"
Then it was in Pennsylvania, that the
reaction was to commence. PennsylVa-
MIA voted, and yesterday we heard the
same E'Tramp, tramp, tramp the boys
are marching!" Ohio followed with
her Tramp, tramp, tramp! the boys are
marchingp' And finally Indiana, where
we are liable to invasion on. all sides,
where we felt doubtful ourselves, comes
up with the same Tramp, tramp, tramp !!
the boys are marching!" In November
you will hear the same tramp, tramp,
tramp from Maine to the Gulf, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, on every side, in
the contest for liberty and to crush trea-
son. Under our brave leader we shall
crush treason in the civic battle field,
and every man, high or low, learned or
unlearned, white or black, if an Amer
lean citizen, shall have protection under
our flag.

STRANGE HIsroRruAL REyEn.rIOss.

NJ. Charles de Grille. a Frenchmau.
whom King Leopold, of Belgium, en-
ployed for sixteen years as eonfiden.
uai diplomatic agent; has just published
q Velume OF personal "Reminiscences. in
which he says that he visited New York
and Washington in 1861, 1862 and 1854,
ana that every thing he saw there at
Ihat time led him to believe that the
Southern Confederacy would succeed
in establishing its independence. In
New York he was Introduced 10 leading
merchants and bankers, whe boasaed Of
the sid which they had given to South
err rebels, and in Washington ha saw
prominent governn emit officers, and
efen Generals of the.army, in the most
suspicious intimacy with men whom he
knew to be agents of the Richmond
government. NJ. de Grille saws that in
1864 not foreign diplomatist in WASH
ington believed In the success of the
Union cause, and such was the corrup.
ton of many government officers and
the impudence Of the rebel emissaries
that one of the most eminent members
of the diplomatic corps said to him
There is no way of saving this coun-
try except by a wholesale flSillade.
There are are here in Washington at
least 1000 men whom the President
should order to be shot for the good of
the country" He says, furthermore,
that nothing in his life ever astonished
him so much as the news OF the sudden
collapse of the Confederacy, and in re-
gard to the assassination of President
Lincoln, by John Wilkes Booth, he re-
marks that one of the most singular fea-
lures of the American rebellion is, that
the rebels, marderous and treaeherous
as was their spirit, allowed Mr. Lincoln
to live SO long, when they might have
killed him any day without incnrring
great personal risk. 1t was owing to
these reports that king Leopold, of Bel
GUM, lost faith in the ultimate triumph
of the Union cause, although he warm
ly admired this country, and at the
breaking out of the rebellion expressed
the most unfeigned regret. Had he not
considered the success of the Southern
Confederacy perfectly certain, he would
never have consented to Maximillian's
expedition to Mexico. - Ciacia2lati

CANT RUB IT OUT.-"Don't write

writing with diamond on the window.
''Why not?"
because you can't rub it out"
Did it ever occur to you, my child,
that you are daily writing that which
you can't rub out?
You made cruel speech to your
mother the other day. 1t wrote itself
on her loving heart and gave her great
pain. 1t is there now, and hurts her
every time she thinks of it. You can't
rub it out.
You whispered wicked thought one
day in the ear of your playmate. 1t
wrote itself on his mind and led him to
do wicked act. 1t is there now, you
can't rub it out.
ALI your thoughts, all your words, all
your acts are Wittcn in the book ofGod.
The record is very sad one. You can't
rub it out.
Mind me! What you write on the
minds of others will stay there. Itcan't
be rubbed out any how. But, glorious
what is written in Gods book can be
blotted out. You can't rub it out, but
the precious blood of Jesus can blot il
out if you are sorry, and will ask him
Go, then, o my child, and ask Jesus
to blot out the bad things you have
written in the book of God.

BARBEROUS OPERATION.

A Chinese shave and shampoo is thus
described by a correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune: 1.-THE operator took
a razor, and strapping it upon his leg,
began to cut the beard from my face
without having lathered it. Upon my
suggestion that a little lather would
prove beneficial, he replied that it was
entirely useless, and had tendency to
make the hair stiff and tough, and was
therefore never used by persons who
had any knowledge of the human face
divine, and its appendages. |, per force,
acquiesced in the opinion expressed,
but W Guild rather be shaved twice with
soap than once without. After the beard
had been taken ofl-and it was done in
a very short time-the barber took a
long, sharp, needle-shaped spoon, and
began to pierce my cars. He explored
every avenue, and brought up,
from numerous little crevices bits OF
wax and dirt which had been accumu-
lating there since my childhood, for /
never submitted to such an operation
before. Having become satisfied with
picking about my ears, the barber sud
denly twisted my neck to one side in
such a manner that it cracked, as if the
vertebra had been dislocated. Hold
on!' l shouted, alarmed for the safety
of my neck. All right replied the ton
sor, me no hurt you, and he continued
to jerk and twist my neck until it was as
Timber as an old woman's dish-rag. lie
then fell TO beating my back, breast, arms
and sides with his fist and pummelled
the muscles until they fairly glowed
with the beating they had received. He
then dashed a bucket of cold water over
me, and having dried my skin with tow
els, declared that his work was done. ]
dressed myself, and having paid my two
cents walked away, feeling like new
man. The sensation of soreness was
gone, and one of elasticity remained
1 really never felt better in nv life, and
must say that an hour under the hands
of Chinese barber would be far better
than a glass of soda, after nights de.
