EXTRACT.

Not content with rejecting all proposals
for peaceful settlement of the controversy,
cruel war of invasion was commenced by
the United States government which * its
progress has been marked by a brutality
and disregard of the rules of civilized war
fare, as stands out in unexampled barbarity
in the history of modern war. Accompa-
MED by every act of cruelty and rapine, the
conduct OF the enemy has been destitute of
that forbearance and magnanimity, which
civilization and christianity have intrOdu-
ced to mitigate the asperities of war. The
atrocities are too Incredible for RdTrdtion.

Small Farm MaXims.

/. Small farms are cheaper
and easier to manage than large
ones and pay better for the cap
ital invested. Therefore small
farms are best.
2. If YOU want to make your
farm pay, you must give it your
daily, personal attention. But
if your farm is too large you
cannot do this I; hence, as said
above, small farms are best.
3. If you don't want your
farm to run away, you must
stop the little leaks. We may
expect fewer leaks on a small
place than a big one ; hence a.
gain, small farms are best.
4. Feed your land we'll, and
it will feed you. 1t takes less
to feed a few acres than a great
many. So you see small farms
are best.
8. Ifyou would live long and
enjoy life, work a little, then
rest a little. But if you have a
large farm you must labor all
the time, Hence again, small
farms are best.
6. To raise big corn, you
must keep small grass. To
make small grass you must cut
often. So in this we find small
farms are best.
Z. If you have a good fence,
you need fear no loss by stock.
But fences are costly. Thus
once more we find small farms
are best.
5. If you want good roads,
and plenty Of schools, churches,
and mills, you must have Il
dense population. If farms are
large thisis impossible. There
fore, | declare small farms to be
the best.
Farms should increase in val
lie year by year. 1t costs less
to improve 4 few acres than a
great many. Here as before
small farms are best.--B. " j.,
RuraE Ckrolinian.

As nearly every city in Italy
is Infested with smallpox, the
American and British consuls have
very properly agreed to call et-
tention to the fact in their bills
of health; the reason that other
consuls have refused to do the
same thing is Ominous. They
think it unnecessary because the

Europe" In other words, it is
50 prsvale Mt In their several
countries that vigorous quaran-
tine is of little or no use. These

need be no "panic" on the subject,
however. 1t should be remem-
bered that at the worst the ave-

disease is only about one fourth or
one-fith of those attacked
though the deaths in the smallpox
hospital in London during fifty
years averaged about Thirty per
cent.--and that vaccination is on
the whole d complete security a,

KEROSENE CURE FOR CoNsUMr

KEROSENE CURE FOR CONSUME
TIoN.-Mr, A. H. Brown, of Neck
lenburg, n. c., informs the
Charleston Southern Home that
his wife had an affection of the
lungs, which threatend to end
her life very soon. On the 10th
of August she began to take ten
drops of kerosene oil on going to
bed, and kept it up until an en-
tire cure was effected. In two
weeks she began 10 notice a favo.
rable change, until complete
change was effected. He says
that others have tried it with
equally happy results.

Sleep for Children.

Halls Josr,dI Of Health says:
up to eighteen years, every child
should be allowed ten hours to be
in bed. They may not require
ten hours sleep, bnt time should be
allowed TO rest in bed after the
sleep Is over, until they feel as if
they had rather get up than not
1t is a very great and miscEievous
mistake for any person, old OF
young, especially children and fee
bic, sedentary persons, to bounce
out OF bed the moment they wake
up; all our instincts shrink from it,
and fercely kick against it. FIT
teen or twenty minutes spent in
gradually waking up, after the
eyes are opened. and in turning O.
yer aud stretching the limbs, does
as much good as sound sleep, be-
cause these operations set the blood
in motion by degrees, tending to
equalize the circulation; for dur
ing sleep the blood tends to stag

slow, and to shock the system by
bouncing up in an instant aud
sending the blood in overpowering
quantity to the heart, causing it to

Paragraphs about Mad
Dogs.

Az is very uiiuCON In the early

doubt, xiii the poor thing at once /;

tering and you from the harrow.
ing reflection that some human be.
ing has been bitten through your
neglect. Madness is not always
iraceable to dog having been
Etten 1t sometimes comes on
spontaneously. a friend of mine
once owned a favorite terrier,
which hal recently Uttered five
puppies, and as she was kept con-
stantly in his garden, she could
aot possibly have been bitten for
some considerable time. But she
suddenly displayed unmistakable
symptoms OF madness, and ran
up aud down the garden with the
saliva flying from her jaws, and
her head twitching from side to
side, as the heads of all mad dogs
do. This arises from the convul.
sive action of the muscles of the
shroat and back, which invaria-
bly, characterizeS hydrophobia-
III human beings, unhappily, as
we'll as III quadrupeds-und the
imitation OF which makes poison
ing by strychnine 30 painful to en-
dure and 30 horrible to see. -
Luckily, my friend himself was
the first to notice her, and his
first care was to close the doors
and order no one to 60 into the
garden.
| have known a child's arm
torn and bitten to the Zone out
rageousIy rabid, and the child did
not suffer more than it would
have done from any other injurY
of equal extent. There have been
frequent instances where a dog
has bitten a great number of hu-
man beings, and one has gone mad
while the rest have escaped; on
the other hand, | have also known
very slight puncture, from dog
not suspected to be rabid, bring on
the most deadly madness. The
treatment Of hydrophobia is just
as unsettled as is the action of
the disease itself.
AS a rule, a mad dog will not
go out of It's way to bite you. 1t
pursues a straight course, swapping
Mt every living object it meets.
4 friend of mine once passed, on
Il lonely country road, within II
couple Of feet of a dog which struck
him as having something strange
in lis aspect and movements; fifty
yards further on he encountered
two men with guns, who asked
him if he had seen dog; and on
being answered that he had, and
where, told him to thank God for
his escape, for that very brute was
raving mad, and bad bitten at
least dozen animals and two or
three men and children that very
morning. My informant almost
tainted with the shock which this
intelligence communicated, and
was greatly relieved to hear the
report of gun directly afterwards,
telling that the career of the mad
dog was ended.

If :" ifs might elect Horace Greeley
he wouldn't be compelled to keep his
seat, but could put it in the Presiden-
tial chair and he has already been elect
ed by the hopeful and ingenious arithma-
tician who presides over the logarithms
which decorate the columns of our
sprightly and enthusiastic contemporary,
the Carson Register. By the way, this
blessing in disguise business-one Of
the old, mouldy humbugs left to posterity
by the rebels-is the last ditch ''-the
sole remaining straw left to those dis
heartened Hagars who are wandering to
and fro inthe starless midnight of politi-
cal dispair, mourning because they can't
make a successful repetition of the old
experiment of putting new wine into old
bottles. The boon which this very cold
comfort of bedeviled and perverted Da-
boil constitutes, has no parallel in all
modern calculations unless it be in that
extraordinary process of algebraic gyinnas-
ties by which it was proven that the cap
ture of New Orleans, the fall of Vicks-
burg, the surrender of Fort Fisher, the
successful march of Sherman and the ca
pitulation at Appomattox Courthouse
were just 50 many actual g averages,
which, if kept up to the crack Of doom,
would see the Yankee invaders annih LA
ted and the greasy ghost of old Bob
Toombs calling the muster rolls OF his
specter slaves from the top Of Bunker
Hill Monument,
But these are infatuations-the mere
phantasmagoria of distempered and de-
lirous political vision-somethinS akin to
what is called an imaginary calculus =
.. method, as Webster describes it, . OF
investigating the nature of quantities
which are required to fulfill apparently
impossible conditions
We can consent to be defeated by 50 ifs

PRESIDENT GRANT TO THE VET
ERAN SOLDIERS AND SAILORS.

The following letter, manly in tone and
commendable in sentiment has been re-
ceived by Col. Dudley, Secretary OF the
Veterans National Committee:
LoNe BRANCH, September 9.
Dear Sir am in receipt of your letter OF the
18th instant, extending to me, by your committee,
a pressing invitation to attend the Grand Mass
Convention of Veteran Soldiers to be held in the
city of Pittsburg on the 18th instant. My desire
to attend and meet again so many old compan-
ions in arms is very great. but my Judgment
tells to leave the celebration entirely to those
whose motives cannot be misunderstood. Know
no class OF citizens better entitled to meet IN
convention and to have weight accorded TO their
views than the veteran soldiers who rlsked their
lives for the honor and perpetuity OF their coun-
try am sure your councils Will De marked oS
wisdom and patriotism, and that meeting OF 50
many comrades will be q joyous and advantage
Gus one. wish for you all that you expect from
your meeting, and only regret cannot be with
you on that occasion.
With great respect,
Your obedient servant.
L. S. GRANT.
1t will strike those who entertain a def
erence for the demands of good taste that
it is quite as much in accordance with
those demands for President Grant to
thus modestly decline putting in an APP
pearance where his motives for SO doing
would be misconstrued by his defamers,
as it was for Horace Greeley to make
hippodrome excursion through New Eng
land, seeking to surrender those States to
the Democracy and dsgorging, per order,
his life long professions in order to make
room within the limits of his capacious
nav for the political fodder provided at
