POLITICAL GLEANTNGs.

The fact that on Monday, just after the
rumor was circulated of the formation of
an 'old citizens white ticket" Senator
Kellogg called on Governor Warmoth, has
given rise to many surmises and oonjec-
lures as to the object of the interview.
Some knowing ones pretend to see in it a
prospect for Republican consolidation, Kel-
logg to retire on guarantee Of the Senate ;
others pretend to a knowledge that the
Governor would listen to no proposals that
required even a quasi support Of Grant.
We see in it nothing but the customary ex-
change of social courtesies proper between
gentlemen Of high position, ner have we
been able to ascertain that there was any
other significance in the. call.
The topic of conversation around the
Pinchbaek headquarters on Dryades street,
yesterday, was the new combination ticket
of the Bourbons and Reforners. There and
at the various club rooms, and other places
of political gossiping, Republicans seemed
to regard it as calculated to drive every
element of their party together, declaring
that Kellogg, with Antoine for his speedy
successor, shall be carried "with a whoop"
into power, rather Athan such a ticket
should win. With the Legislature that
would thus 90 into power with Kellogg,
there would not be the remotest chance for
reform, but at whose door would lie the
blame
The Liberals evidently regard this ticket
as bluff to scare Governor WarmOth out
of the field, made by the members of the
two committees, who daily seeing their
strength diminishing, and knowing that
the rank and file viii all desert after the
result of the Baltimore convention is an
nounced, leaving them like generals with
out an army, felt the necessity Of desper-
ate step in order to gain some sort of recog-
milton from the young giant party that is
swallowing them up. The game won't win
they don't hold trump card.
Uncompromising, straight-Out Democrats
are wildly indignant. What right have
these committeeman to wipe out of existence
the Opera House ticket, and constitute in
its place hybrid affair not half SO popular
Is not Jumel tenfold more favorite than
old bennett land the query of a leading
Democratic politician, "Who the devil is
Lafargue p was wonderingly re-echoed by
dozen indignant bystanders-not one
present, by the by, ever before having
heard of him except the writer.
Whence.do these committees derive their
authority for making a ticket.l Did the
Ref Orm or Democratic conventions delegate
such powers Can the astute Mr.. Lasere
tell us if the Opera House convention did
not expressly refuse to confer such author
ity upon his select little body, when it
kicked out the conference report; and again
when it would not permit Carleton Hunts
whereases and resolves to be even read?
We do not believe Mr.. Lasere, at least,
thinks the people will have a close corpora
ton job of this sort thrust down th cir
throats, He is too shrewd judge of the
political disposition of our people and the
jealous regard they entertain for their
rights. 1t is therefore probable that he in
tends this move as little bluff at the
Liveral convention.

The Iberville Sonth saws :

We regret very much to hear that there
is no abatement of the charbOn on Bayou
Crosse Tete and Msringouin. The loss Of
stock has already been very great, and viii,
necessarily, cause falling off in the crop Of
that section Of the parish. Those who have
no means to replace the lost animals are un-
fortunate indeed, and those who can pur-
chase other stock fear TO do so at present.

Mr.. Bilhngs friends are smilingly rub
biDg their itching palms over the news
from Washington. Grant gave Murre Il a
three-hour interview at Long Branch, and
the documents he presented bore such con
vineing proof Of the corruption and dark
ways of Packard ct ais, in their man age
ment of the Baton Rouge convention, that
Grants sense of justice has been reused to
indignation heat, so that he has finally de-
termined to kick overheard the who le
caboodle, from brother-in-law down to
Sandy Packer, and by so doing reunite in
bonds of fraternal love, under the be-
nignant guidance of the smiling and gentle
manly Billings, every scattered fragm ent
Of the great Republican party.
Charming simplicity Hopeless credul-
ity The idea of Grant keeping about his
person anything like ''sense of justf ce, ?
or sacrificing one of his relatives for the
mere trife of running convention by
means of government funds and patr onage,
should be sufficient warrant for the inter-
diction of any one entertaining it.
And speaking of Sandy Packer reminds
us that he made raid upon the parish Of
st. John the other day and came to grief
in fact, the last we heard of him he was
playing checkers with his nose" at the
parish jail.
Be it known that the people Of st. John
Ego for Warmoth.D Under whatever name
or guise, the Governor has a pleasant SAVIOR
in their nostrils. Now, Sandy, as political
agent and emissary for the Customhouse,
from which he draws pay, determined to
reform the st. JohniUes, loading himself for
the purpose with red-eye, and a revolver
that is said to be something wonderful for
size and eomplexity of machinery. Find
ing the people would not listen to his teach
ings, nor have aught to do with those " no
sent him, Sandy waxed warlike, and threat
ened to -annihilate an entire community
with his portable "Gatling." Alas, that
such greatness should fall so low An ir-
reverent son of constable charged him
with carrying concealed weapons, and
Warmothean Justice, in default of bonds to
keep the peace, locked up this representa-
tive of the best government in the Gala
boOse.
The point in this little narrative is the
fact that men are kept draining the United
States treasury whose sole duties are to
electioneer through the State for the Baton
Rouge ticket.

A Cure for Blindness.

About year ago Professor Nagel. of
Tubingen, published reports of cases in
which he had, by the use Of strychnia,
restored sight to patients suffering from
decay of vision or from blindness. Strych-
mia, as is well known, is a deadly poison
but it has wonderful effect in stimulating
the nerves: and Professor Nagel found that
in diseases of the optic nerve, whether
functional or organic, its operation was
alike speedy and efficacious The quantity
used is Of course exceedingly small, one
fortieth of a grain. mixed with water, and
this solution is not to be swallowed, but is
injected under the skin of one of the arms,
which seems to render the result the more
remarkable. This remedy has been tried
by oculists elsewhere with marked success;
and among recent instances occurs naval
captain, aged fifty two, whose sight was so
much impaired that he required to be led
about. Within few minutes after the
injection, as above described, the fog which
darkened his eyes became less dense, and
an impression of light was perceptib!e.--
After three days use Of the remedy an
injection night and morning }, he could
make out the furniture of the ward with
sufficient clearness to guide himself about
without feeling; "and, on tho fourth day
of treatment, without help, he succeeded
at midday in walking alone through the
thoroughfares of the city to the home of
his family, mile from the intirmary, ~
May we not hope frem this experience that
henceferth the number of cases of blind
ness will be largely diminished CHAM

WEAK BACKS AND BAD SEATS.

The small of the back is the weak OF
strong point of every person. 1t is the
center of voluntary motion. Nearly three
hundred muscles are directly or indirectly
connected with the motions of which the
small of the back is the pivotal CENTER
Hence, while those who are strong, and
whose muscular system are we'll balanced,
know nothing of spinal weakness or verte
bral distortion, invalids are forever COM
planning of this part of the body.
One very prominent cause Of weak back
and crooked spines is, the unhygienic and
unauatomical seats and benches of our
lighthouses, churches and halls; Dor are
the seats and benches provided on steam
boats, railroad cars, or at stations or ferry
houses any better. 1t is impossible for any
person to occupy these seats long without
being forced out of shape. And when
school children are confined to them for
several hours day for months and years.
their backs will inevitably be more or less
weakened, with corresponding deformity
of body, for life.
If we go into private families, even into
the palaces of the opulent, we find the seats
made more for show than for use. Girls
suffer much more by using such seats than
boys, for the reason that boys are taught to
run, Jump and exercise themselves all over
and all though, while girls are expected to
keep still and be pretty.
1t is certainly one of the strange pro-
blems of the nineteenth century that no
parent, teacher, or mechanic will give any
attention to anatomy or physiology in the
construction Of seats for the human body.
Must our chairs, and sofas, and settees, and
divans, and tste-a-tetes, and pews forever
he dictated by fashion, and never conform
ed to nature? Must our tortured bodies
forever be compelled to shape themselves
to the seats, instead of the seats being
adapted to our bodies? Go through all the
great chair-factories of the country, and
you will not find single article that is not
put together in gross violation of the rules
of health and comfort. If some Cooper, or
Peabody, or Stewart, or Nanderbilt. or
Astor, would invest a little million of dol
lars i'll establishing an immense chairfac-
tory "on strictly hygienic principles he
would do more to improve human health,
promote longevity and remedy the back
ache, than any medical college in the land.

THE OLD MEMS GRANT MEETING.
BY JOHN L. YATES.

Well, wife, we've had meetin at the
school-house on the hill,
And was chosen chairman to keep the old
men still,
But found l could't do it; each man down
his cane would plant,
And shout with all the voice he had, " IN
goin' in for Grant,
We talked about the past four years, what
great things had been done;
How the nations debt had melted like the
snow before the sun;
We said to keep it meltin', do a better
thing we can't,
Than stick and hang together, and all go
in for Grrnt.
We looked through our spectacles upon the
Then drew the veil of charity DER giant
Summers acts.
We said, eve like you, Sumner, but go
your way we CAN'T
Then made the school-house echo with
rousing shout for Grant.
We didn't have much charity for Trum
bull or for Schurz;
They stand around the party gate, pair
of snarling ours;
Their speeches cannot harm us, nor make
Grant toe their mark;
He's an old Galena tanner and knows how
to handle bark.
We talked about Grants smokin'-we
thought that no great sin;
To vote that out of office we might vote
worse one in;
Anf, seein' we were smokers, 'twouldn't
do for US to rant,
So we lit our pipes together, and smoked
the health of Grant.
In the days of the rebellion none of us
could go to fight,
But we read from morn till evening how he
battled for the right;
He has been the Nations servant in the
days of peace and war,
And treason melts before him like the
smoke of a cigar.
After I'd adjourned the meetin, l gave
each friendly grip;
We every one, determined to stand by the
war tried ship;
We will not tumble over, we will not even
slant,
But put our canes down firm and strong,
and stand up straight for Grant.

How the California Fields are PlOWed.

The fields are plowed with what are call.
ed gang plows, which are simply four, six
or eight pillow shares fastened to stout
frame of wood. On the lighter soil, eight
horses draw a seven gang plow, and one
such team is counted on to put in $40 acres
Of wheat in the sowing season; or from
eight to ten acres per day. Captain Gray,
near MERGED, has put in this season !, 900
acres with five such teams-his own land
and his own teams. A seed sower is fast
ened in front of the plow. 1t scatters the
seed, the plows cover it-and the work is
DONE The pillow has no handles, and the
plowman is, in fact, only driver; he guides
the team; the plows do their own work.
1t is easy work, and a smart boy, if his legs
are equal to the walk, is as good aplow
man as anybody-for the team turns the
corners, and the plow is not handled at all.
1t is a striking sight to see ten eight horse
teams following each other, over a vast
plain, cutting Glands a mile long, and
when all have passed, leaving track, forty
feet wide, of plowed ground. On the
heavier soil, the process is somewhat diff
ferent. An eight horse team moves four
gang plow, and gets over about six acres
per day. The seed is then sown by a
machine which scatters it forty feet, and
sows from seventy-five to one hundred
acres in day, and the ground is then har
rowed. When the farmer in this valley
has done his winter sowing, he turns his
teams and men into other ground, which
he is to summer fallow. This he can do
from the first of March to the middle Of
May; and by it he secures remunerative
crop for the following year, even if the sea-
son is dry. This discovery is of inestim-
able Importance to the farmers on the dri-
er part of these great plains. Experience
has now demonstrated conclusively that, if
they pillow their lands in the spring, let it
lie until the winter rains come on, then
sow their wheat and harrow it in, they are
sure of crop; and the summer will have
killed every weed beside.

THINGS TO BE REMEMBERED.

Edward Everett became overheated in
testifying in 4 court room, went to Fen
euil Hall, which was cold, and sat in a
draught Of air until his turn came to speak.
"But my hand and feet were ice, my lungs
on fire. In this condition had to spend
three hours in the court ROOM He died
in less than week from thus checking the
perspiration. 1t was enough to kill any
man.
Professor Mitchell, while in state of
perspiration in yellow fever, the certain
sign of recovery, became chilled in mo-
ment, and died the same night
If, while in perspiration, or warmer than
usual from exercise, or in heated room,
there is a sudden exposure to chill, cold air,
or raw, damp atmosphere or draught,
whether at window or door, or street
corner, the inevitable result is violent and
instantaneous closing of the pores of the
skin, by which waste and impure matter
which was making it's way out of the sys-
tenn is compelled to seek an exit through
some weaker part. To illustrate. A lady
was about getting into small boat to cross
the Delaware, but wishing first to get an
orange, she ran to the bank of the river,
aud on her return to the boat found her
self much heated, fer it was summer, but
there was a little wind ON the water, and
her clothes soon felt cold, which produced
a cold which settled on her lungs, and
within the year she died of consumption.
4 Boston ship owner, while on the deck
of one of his vessels, thought he would
lend hand to some emergency, and pull
ing off his coat, worked with will until
he perspired freely, when he sat down to
rest awhile, enjoying the delicious breeze
from the sea. On attempting to rise he
found himself unable, and was so stiff in
his joints that he had to be carried home
and put to bed, which he did not leave
until the end OF two months, when he was
barely able to hobble down to the wharf on
crutches.
Multitudes of women loose health every
year, in one or more ways, by busying
themselves in warm kitchen until weary,
and then throwing themselves on bed or
sofa, without covering, and perhaps chang
ing the dress for common one, as soon as
they enter the house after shopping. The
rule should be invariably to go at once
into warm room, and keep on all the
clothing for at least ten minutes, until the
forehead is perfectly dry. In all weathers,
i1you have to walk or..ride on any occasion,
do the riding first.
