John Ruskin in the "Crown of Wild Olives"
charactcrizes in his trenchant style those who
like to make money as imitaters of Judas:
We do great injustice to 1scariot in thinking
him wicked above all common wickedness, He
was only a common money-lover, and like all
money.lovers did not understand Christ, couldn't
make out the worth of him or meaning Of him.
He didn't want him to be killed. He was hor.
ror-struck when he found Christ would be killed:
threw his money away and hanged himself How
many OF our present money.seekers, think you,
would have the grace to hang themselves, whom
ever they killed2 But Judas was common

Lockjaw Cured by Tobacco.

A writer in the Scientific American gives an
instance Of the cure of tetdnus, or lockjaw, by an
application Of tobacco on the stomach A sol.
der had been wounded in the foot, and having
taken cold in It, tetcau ensued. The Major OF
tho Tenth Indiana cavalry. of whose regiment
the soldier was member, casually learned his
condition, and as it was = case of life or death,
anyhow Tor rather certain death) he resolved to
try an experiment aud save him if possible. The
man had the lockjsw more than forty hours
they had no medicines along useless if they hsdl
and the Majors only resource was plug of navy
tobacco. He cut off square of it (about three
inches square), put 1t into mess pan with boil.

rated With tho water taking 1t out he allowed
it to oool 90 - not to blister, then. placed it on
the pit Of the mans stomach. In about five min.
utes the patient turned white around tho lips,
which also began to twitch-the man was get
ting very siok-and in nine or ten minutes the
rigid muscles relapsed and his jaw fell open
Indeed, it seemed M if the patient would fall all
apart and 70 to pieces, 80 utterly was his entire
muscular system relaxed. The tobacco was i'm

mounted HE horse all right, as bold "soger
boy" ~ any. So much for dead man.
1t Seems necessary in this disease to produce
nauses, or sickness OF the stomach, to cause the
rigid muscles to relax. 1t is very difficult, or
almost impossible to administer medicines, and
some external application becomes necessary to
produce nausea, and this is furnished by the to-
baoco. The Major found sfterward that damp
tobacco applied 70 any part of the body would
produce sickness, but much more quickly, Of
course, when applied to the stomach.
The editor Of the Scientific American, in com.
menting upon the above case, remarks that the
remedy proposed is one of great power, and
would need TO bs used with extreme caution, "a
AVOID fatally nicotixing the patient.

The Winchester Times comes up man
fully to the support Of the WALKER ticket.
It says: I
"Having declared in advance our pur-
pose 10 abide the action Of the Convention
whether it accorded with our judgment or
lot, we are troubled with no further doubts
or difficulties. We ehall advocate not only
what Yves clearly prescribed, but also what
was clearly intended-the premises esta-
blished and the conclusions fairly deduci-
Bile therefrom.
"as TO the candidates there Is no room
for question. While it was not proper for
the Convention, constituted as it was, and
for other good reasons, to endorse the nomi-
nation of Walker in terms, there is an i'm
piled recommendation to that effect, and it
was 30 understood by those present.
"The issue is between Wells and
Walker-the party of prescription and the
| party Of general amnesty-between the
carpet Dagger and the bona tide ~eestler-be-
tween a man Of bad character ard one OF
| good character. We must vote for Walker.
| Not to vote will be really equivalent to
| voting for Wells, the worst enemy to Viz
GINA tbs ever put foot upon her soil."
The same paper says that its editor re-
Gently had q conversation with Hon. D. W.
| VOORHEES,, Of Indiana, who said thatif ne
| were now o citizen of the State, with the
ligats before him, he would urge the people
to close with the terms Of the law passed
by Congress. He was of opinion that NO
more liberal terms would be granted, and
| il these were rejected our prospects would
be greatly impaired. The same editor was
told by Hon. STEVENSON ARCHER, OF
Maryland, that the Conservatives in Con-
gress we're nearly unanimous that now was
the time, and the terms Of the present bill
were the best that could be hoped for.

The Radical Convention for the nomina.

courthouse to day. After the usual pre-.
liminary proceedings q permanent organi.
zation was effected by the appointment Of
j. II. Thsyer, Of Nansemond, es president,
with FIVE yice-presiJents and three secrets-
ries. Three Of the former and one Of the
latter were colored, and a majority, if no.
%two-thirds, Of the Convention were Of the
same caste. ,.,a
On motion, the Chair appointed g Com.

After considerable discussion it was de-
cided to take an informal ballot for 8 can
didste, which resulted as follows: J. II.
Platte, q L.. H. Chandler, 8; George Fay

On the first ballot Platte received Is votes,
and Chandler 6. An effort was made to
make Plates nomination unanimous, but
on the question being put to the vote there
were several dissenting voices.
The last business that engaged the atten-
ton Of the Convention was to act on the
report Of the Committee On Resolutions.
They reported q series Of resolves ap-
proving the action Of General Grant in
appointing colored men to high and re-
sponsible ohoss within the gift Of the
Federal Government; recognizing the
party represented by the Wells ticket as
tho only Republican party of the State, and
pssdging their support to it in the conyio-
uon that its success in the election Of Wells
can alone restore the State to its relations
with the Federal Union recognizing in
the nomination of Platte an evidence OF the
appreciation Of his ability as 9 statesman,
ana his friendship for the down,trodden,
