LOCK IA "A correspondent of the Scien-
tifc American recommends turpentine as a
certain cure for lock jaw. He says: "Let
any one who has an attack Of lock jaw take
a small quantity of turpentine, warm it and
pour it on the wound, no matter where the
wound is, or what its nature is-and relief
will follow in less than one minute. Moth
ing can be applied to a severe cut or bruise
that is better than cold turpentine; it will
give certain relief almost instantly. 1t is
also said to be sovereign remedy for Group.
Saturate piece of flannel on the throat and
chest-aDd in very severe cases three or five
drops on a lump of sugar may be taken in
wardly. Every family should have bottle
on hand. 1t Is a simple remedy, and can be
easily tested. In all serious cases, appliea-
ton should be made under medical advice"

standing in his pulpit on Sunday week. The
Galveston News thus describes the affecting
scene:
He ascended the pulpit Announcing

referred to one after another Of the friends
of his youth and the communicate of his
church that had gone before. He pain ed
Death entering the church door, passing up
he broad aisle laying his bouy hand to the
right and to the left, breathing his cold
clammy breath on the check of beauty, aud
waiting the siiyery hairs of age. Now
touching the father, then the son: here the
mother, there the daughter. As the spectre
50 plain to his entranced vision advanced to
the chancel-rail, and as he saw that his time
had come his words struggled for utterance
He faltered. Ills weakening limbs stag~

assistance was wav back For ten min

audience was fearful Three times he
struggled to continue, saying, Il am very
sick, but must say" Again he staggered.
He fell into the arms of Mr.. C. r. Hughes as
he raised his hands to pronounce the bene,
dietion. Like Moses, that other servant of
God, he was to weak to hold up his hands,
which was done by Mr.. Hughes, as he said
his last pulpit words, ITO God the Father" "
HIS tongue refused to speak further; his
hands dropped He was carried to his rec

Editor NasArille Union and american:
/ see by your paper that you are giving
some attention to immigration to the State
of Tennessee; and your lawmakers are Civ
ing the subject some attention. l was in
your State about four months, and travelled
in different parts of the State for the pur-
pose of buying land for a colony. l bought
in Davidson county, and have commenced
operations Ser eral of the members are on
the land, and speak in the highest terms of
country and people, liking it much better
than in Ohio. ! was highly pleased with
land and peopIe-never treated better in my
life. [ like Southern hospitality much. The
people of the south are not like the people
of fthe North All our people want is your
money, and then you may go. Since l re-
turned to Ohio many have been to see me,
inquirinG aboIt your land, prices, etc.
have spoken in the highest terms of your
state, climate, people, soil, price, etc. The
only objection is that your lads are sold in
too large lots. If your people would cut it
up in small lots, say so or 10 acre lots,
your State would improve very fast Our
farms are cultivated by father and sons, and
they want to do the same way in their new
homes. Let your people divide their lands
into small lots Your State would soon be
filed up by an industrious people, and your
land will soon double IN value and become
ore of the first STATES in the Union, having
every advantage, climate and soil Per-
suade your people to try the experiment

TASTE "A correct taste is ever the con-
comitant of chaste mind; for, a cele-
brated author has justly observed, "Our
taste commonly declined with our merit"
A correct taste is the offspring Of all that
is delicate in sentiment and just in cOncep-
ton; it softens the infexibility of truth, and
decks reason in the most persuasive gar

A certain minister who was not over fas-

censured for being so careless about his

preacher retorted, brother c., my re

The Rockingham REGISTER is very seusi-
tive upon the subject of reprdiation. If it
affords him any consolation to believe tina t
he ca find prominent men in Shenandoah to
sustain him in his position, we do not object
to his consoling himself in that way. He is
however very much mistaken. He proves by
Webster thata man who is in favor of post
poning the payment of the public debt and
interest is a repudiationist. If he wishes to
place himself right we would advise him
to study Neral Philosophy instead of Web
s.er's Dictionary.

compromising the interest on the debt. If
any change be required the rate of interest
should be reduced. l should not favor any
tax to be levied for the payment of the debt
or interest on the State debt unless otherwise
instructed by my constituents. l believe
with the present rate of taxes levied, and
guarding against all future expenditures there
will be sufficient amount to meet the i'm
perative demands Of the state government
thereby leaving balance in the treasury
that would enable the S tale to purchase her
own bonds, AMI if otfere at prices they have
been sold and bought at from 40 to 60 per
cent discount the debt can be paid with
about one half. l will advocate the aboli-
ton of unnecessary state and county officers
and only allowing others such amount of pay
that their services really would be worth. l
am opposed to the usury or II per cent. law.
