General Noyes, the Republican can

universal amnesty, and will publicly
SO declare in his first campaign speech.
We are glad that General Noyes is, in

With due Difference we must be
permitted to doubt the accuracy of the

who accepts the nomination. of a polit-

support the platform on which he is
placed, and ON that condition alene is
he entitled to support. We regret that

Harlan, or some one for him furnised

is of course a poor excuse, for on the

MEDICAL PROPERTIES OF EGes.-
The white of an egg has proved of
late the most efficacious remedy for
burns.s Seven or eight successive ap-
plicationsi of this substance soothe
pain and effectually exclude the burn
from the air. This simple remedy
seems preferable to collodion or even
cotton. Extraordinary stories are told
of the healing properties of new oil
which is easily made from the yolk of
hens eggs. The eggs are first boiled
hard, and the yolks are theniremoved,
crushed, and placed over a fire, where
they are carefully stirred until the
whole substance is just on the point
of catching fire, when the Oil sepa-
rates and may be poured off, One
yolk will yield nearly two teaspoon

BuNNIRs,--Thcre is. in every
community, class of local bum
mers whose speciality is to gather
round store stoves in the evening,
and scandal a. naturally as an old
maid's.--Hour after hour, and
night after night they shove their
lazy carcasses from good.boxes to
counters and back again, n,il, like
setting hen whose feathers have
disappeared from long continued
incubation, these bulnmers find an
important part of their pantaloons
missing. Then, for night or two
there was a vacant place on dry
goods box. Then q curious ey-
might discover a lazy, disconso-
late looking chap tucked up in
bed, while his wife Was putting a
new seat in his trousers. Then
comes the temperance. Again
the worthless lounger begins his
halfhourly pilgrimages from box
to counter, and from counter to
nail key. And what an extensive
range of thought. and what emo
bling ideas occupy his time! Every
tale Of petty scandal. every little
fault Of neighbor, every misfor-
tune in the community is blistered
by these hegossips Has a lady in
crossing a muddy street, lifted her
skirt half an inch above her gait
ers, some of these human caterpil-
lars hare taken notice of the fact,
and learnedly descant on the size
Of her ankle and the number of her
shoes Smutty stories, vile jokes,
horse races and dog fights are
sandwiched in between the thick
slices OF town scandal.--Talk of
an old maids tongue! One of
these masculine, dry goods box
gabblers can utter more gossip in
one hour than a dozen spinsters
can in q week. The proper place
for an unmarried. man, evenings, is
from one 10 two feet according to
the length Of his army from his
sweetheart; and the proper place
for a married man, evenings, is at
home with his babies, if he has any,
and If he hasn't, he's "no count no
ar."--Guthric Vedette.

And with new energy pursue their gods;
Some will commence q course of vice and sin,

The French have always had
tendency to escape present trouble
by flying to evils they know not of.
and it is only strange that more of
their defeated generals have not
tried to evade the consequences of
their disgrace by suicide. But
only two or three have resorted to
that method Of securing oblivion.
during the whole war. General
Abel Douay killed himself after the
battle Of Weissenbourg. and Bour-
baki has tried it, but with doubtful
success. 1t is good sign of re.
turning reason. for all nations, ex-
cept perhaps the French, learned
some time ago to consider such
melodramatic performances as evil
denccs Of extreme weakness. The
courage that impels man or wo.
man to commit suicide, is no cour-
age at all.
