The best "cure" in the world for ca
tarrh is accomplished by doing two
things-only two; it will cure three
cases out of four, infallibly: First, lei
your nose alone; second, avoid taking
cold. Catarrh is cold, settling in the
head or nose; and as long as it remains
there, preserves the lungs from danger
If YOU snuffle anything whatever up the
nose, in proportion as it arrests or di
mipishes the running from the nose, ol
ewes, or throat, it is certain to show
itself in the lungs, within very few
davs. and even in very few hours
sometimes.-[Hall's Journal of Health

DEHRA Doom, January 26.

Yesterday, at 1 o'clock, Mr..
Woodside, his daughter Maggie and
I, mounted our steeds for ride to
"The Robbers Cave" Ito which 1
alluded in the former part of this
letter. to meet some friends there.
We had q delightful ride of four
miles, part of the way through very
rough country, where the passes
were so narrow and steep we were
compelled to dismount and have our
horses led. When we reached the
place we found quite lively party
of English people, both old and
young, (for young people here new
or have parties, or anything of that
kind, alone--a young gentleman
cannot 60 out riding with a young
lady without someone older along
with them.) These friends were all
seated around the well-tilled cloth.
After we had finished our dinner we
prepared to explore the Cave. 1tis
not really a cave, but a very deep
tissue in the rock, about so feet
deep, through which a beautifully
clear, rapid mountain stream passes,
which is swollen as it progresses by
many little springs, triekling from
the rocks on each side. The rocks
almost meet over head in many
places.
Many of the young gentlemen and
ladies came prepared for wading,
but those who did not were carried
by Coolies in a kind of chair called
a "Daldy." l, for the first time
was transported, by two natives
with bare legs and feet, large cloth
around their lOinS, and turoans on
their heads. We got on very well
for time, but in one of the deepest
and most difficult passes one of the
men sank down upon his knees
He had great difficulty in regaining
his footing, but he did at last, and
did not get at all wet. We went
about half mile 1 suppose.
The only path was through the
middle OF the stream. Once Oh
twice the opening was wide enough
for me to get out of my "Dandy''
and walk for some distance. All

blILlnS on the moor. Ono OF tnem
played on an instrument which
looked like keg, with sheep skin
over the ends. She tapped on this
with the ends of her fingers as an
accompaniment to her voice. AS
most of the sounds were nasal, you
may imagine the music.
A woman much better and more
gaily dressed, sat by her and sang
with her. L found they were both
the wives of one man, and the for
lorn.looking one had been deserted
for the other, but they did not sing
any the less harmoniously on this
account. As we left the house we
saw all the ''gentlemen' of the feast,
under tent, smoking their pipes
and sitting around little charcoal
fires.
The natives think it very strange
that we have schools in America, in
which boys and girls are educated
together. My young Calcutta friend
asked me about our "lady lecturers. )"
Said he "saw in paper that a lady
had applied for the Presidency of the
United Slates!"
Some of the women l have visited
are very handsome. They have
very soft black eyes. They are
very anxious to learn English. 1
take an interpreter with me.
Ihave learned many things about
English customs 1 did not know be-
fore. There are many pleasant En-
glish people here, who are very
kind to me. 1 have on my table
invitations to two pic-nics for this
week, one from two gentlemen who
keep house alone, and have no 9th
er way of being hospitable. This is
for next Saturday, at a place called
the "Three Wells," a very beautiful
place near the Government Tea
Gardens. The other is from the
family of banker here, to go to
'The Robbers Cave" tomorrow. l
am told this is a wonderful place,
and 1 am delighted at the idea Of
going there. January is a singular
month for pic-nics, but the weather
is charming most Of the time.
Yesterday evening 1 dined at Mr..
Herron's, and after dinner we all
walked out to see large "Banyan"
tree, which is worshipped by the
natives. 1t is most wonderful
vegetable production to see-so
many trunks with only one top.
We crossed many rice felds, which
illustrate the passage, ,"cast thy bread
upon the waters and thou shalt find
it after many days" Ridges of
earth are thrown up in large
squares and these filled with water
then the rice is thrown upon the
water.
I also saw an illustration Of the
passage, "The OK knoweth his own
err" etc. One her dsman takes all
the cows out to pasture. When they
bring them home in the evening,
every one goes home to his owner.
We stopped on a little hillside
to watch the setting sun. The sky
was gorgeously beautiful, as the sun
disappeared behind one range Of
mountains, and it was beautifully
reflected upon the central range,
which is north of US. 1t seems
strange to think that as he sets for
me he is lust rising for you.

RATIFYING GREELEY.-On Friday last a
cal! appeared, signed Many Democrats for a
ratification meeting to be held at Dover on
Thursday, July 30th, at - NJ, to ratify " the
proceedings of the Baltimore Convention. :"
The meeting is to be addressed by eminent
speakers" The heretofore knowing ones in
party mOvements knew not from whence it
came aud inquired diligently of one another as
to its origin, and pointed ominously at the
signature, MANY Democrats The following
paragraph revealed the snake in the grass, viz:
1.-THE fitness of this call is shown by the fact
that those who have the control of our organi-
zation have already, in one way or another,
signified their hostility to the nomination of
Greeley and Brown. 1t is hardly likely they
will take steps to formally ratify it. We intend
to stand by our nominees at all hazards.
The ''Poles, or the young Democracy, are
looking to the control of the party machinery
in this county, and propose to take time by
the fore lock. They have had no hesitation
in accepting Greeley while they supposed the
Bourbon ring would not endorse him, as they
had said they would not. The breach between
the factions in this county is as wide as ever,
and this first opportunity for the "Pollies" to
show their hands has been promptly taken up.
Unless the point is conceded them on this oc-
casion there is little or no hope of unity Of
action. Those in the ring who have succumed
to "the voice of the people" affect unconcern
in the move, and ridicule its authority and its
importance. They ask, with touch of sar-
casm, who running it--where' the names p
