MEDICAL HNTs.-Without good stomach it
is impossible to attain great age yet 1t is the
best abused organ iu the body.
Don't doctor for every little ailment If hall
the sensible people in the world had common
sense it would be better for them.
The doctor who advises a man to take brandy
twice day for brochitis, will probably be guilty
of making one drunkard.
Soap and water is the best dentifrice that can
be used.
The habit of eating cloves, cachous, jokes
trix, bunkidor, and all such trash, is ruinous to
the stomach, and will eventually produce dys-
pepsa.
Children should never put shop or visiting
cards in their mouth the glazing is poisonous.
Ripe, raw, fresh fruit is good, and may be
eaten with safety, but should also be eaten in
moderation.
Vinegar, diluted with water and sweetened,
makes a good drink in fever. Heated hot, the
steam of pure vinegar is good for sore throats.
1t should be inhaled from the mouth of teapot,
or other similar vessel.
Fresh lard rubbed into the chest daily with the
warm hand is useful in consumption.
Onions, we'll boiled, are useful article oil

cretions, and also promote digestion. The juice
of the onion is recommended in dropsy.

REMARKABLE Story. - The Bombay Gazette
tells the following remarkably story;
Rrigader Sir Hugh Wheeler, who was in COM
mand at Cawnpore at the time of the mutiny,
had two grown up daughters. These were both
with him when he was besieged by the garrison
at Cawnpore. On the arrangement of terms of
capitulaton with Nena, the besieged were con-
Quoted to the river, under pretense of assisting
their escape by embarkation. What actually
took place there is matter of history. The men
were butchered and meanwhile the ladies were
kept in confinement. After the mutineers had
finished their work of blood at the ghaut, they
fell upon the helpless women and children whom
they had reserved for II worse fate. 1t 10 known
that one OF Wheelcr's daughters bravely net her
fate facing death direct rather than fall into the
hands Of the wretches about her. She flung
herself into well. The other was reported to
be missing Her remaius were never found nor
heard of, and the impression was that she must
have suffered the horrible mutilation and death
which beiel others at that miserable period.
But it now appears that she survived, and is
alive at the present time. She survived the
massacre of Cawnpore, and has lived the twelve
years succeeding it and, for ought that appears
to the contrary, may see another score OF years.
We have said that the government must know
of the case and the reasons for this opinion are
the following Mr. c., an Official of high
position, while on tour through his division,
had occasion to encamp near village called
S.. While there, information reached him
that the missing daughter of Sir Hugh Wheeler
was in the keeping of petty rajah in the neigh
borhood who came in under the amnesty. Mr..
c. managed to send verbal message to Miss
Wheeler to the effect that If she wished he would
remove her from her present position, and re-
store her to her relatives aud home. Miss
Wheeler sent written reply, iu which she told
Mr.. c. that she had been for nearly twelve
years living with native in the degrading posi-
tion of an inmate of his harem had children by
him and could not muster the moral courage
to face one of her own kline letting alone her
relatives. She wished to be entirely forgotten,
and to be permitted to remain unnoticed, or If
thought of at ALL '@to be remembered as one in
the grave"

HOWE NEwsrApERs.-The New York Tribune

HONE NEwsrAPERs.-The New York Tribune
remarks:
Nothing rs more common than to hear people
talk of what they pay newspapers for advertising,
ETC., as so much given in charity. Newspapers,
by enhancing the value of property in their
neighborhood, and giving the places where they
are published reputation abroad, benefit all
such, particularly if they are merchants or real
estate owners, thrice the amount yearly of the
meager sum they pay for their support. Besides,
every public spirited citizen has andable pride
in having paper Of which he is not ashamed
even though be should pick it up in New YORK
or Washington. A good looking, thriving sheet
helps property, gives character to locality and
in many respects, is desirable puohc con
venience. If for any cause the matter in the
local or editorial columns should not be quite up
to the standard do not cast 1t aside and pro-
nounce it good for nothing, until satisfied that
there has been no less labor bestowed upon il
than is paid for. If you want good reliable
sheet, it must be supported. And it must not
be supported in a spirit of charity either, but
because you feel a necessity to support it. The
local press is the power that moves the people.
