a Chill Cure.

The local of the Terre Hade Journal
has discovered new cure for ague. Here
it b. To those afflicted with ague we
say emphaticaily, crawl down stairs head
foremost. Laugh at the idea if you please,
but do your crawling first; you can then
afford to laugh. Just US the chill is COM
ing on, start at the top of a long flight
Of stairs, and crawl down on your hands
and feet, headforemost. You never did
harder work in your life, and when you
arrive at the bottom, instead Of shaking,
you will find yourself putting, red in the
face, and perspiring freely, from the
strong exertions made in the effort to sup
port yourself
1t will effect cu-c beyond doubt,
but whether from this cause or from that,
we viii never tell you. nor need you care
to know. Try it. II won't cost you
near as much as quinine or patent medi-
oinos, and if it fails it will only do what
they do every day. If il eures-as il
surely will-lsy the facts before our local
scientists, and let them discover the
cause. At all events, ye shaking suffer
ers, lay this maxim to your heart, crawl
ing down stairs head foremost will Ger
taialy prevent chill"

Uscc,, Eounehali Article.

Ammonia, or, asit is generally called,
spirits Of hartshorn, is a powerful alkali,
and disolves grease and dirt with great
case. II has lately been recommended
very highly for domestic purposes. For
washing paint put tablespoonful in 4
quart Of hot water, dip in flannel cloth,
and then wipe off The wood work; no
scrubbing will be necessary. For taking
grease spots from any fabric, ne ammo
mia, nearly pure, and then lay white.blot-
ting paper over the spot, and iron 1t light
ly. In washing lace put about twelve
drops in pint of warm suds. To clean
silver, mix two teaspoonsuls of aminona
in a quart of hot suds. Put in your sill
yer ware and wash, using an old nail
brush or toothbrush for the purpose.
For cleaning hair-brushes, ETC., simply
shake the brushes up and down in . mix
ture of ono tablespoonful of ammonia 20
ore pin, Of hot water, and stand them in
the wind or in no. place to dry. For
washing inger-marks from looking-gla.s ses
on windows put a few drops Of ammonia
on a moist rag, and make quick work
about it. If you vih yoW house.plluts
to flourish, put few drops Of the spirits
in every pint of water used in watering.
A teaspoonful will add much 70 the re-
freshing effects Of the bath. Nothing Is
better than ammonia water for cleansing
the hair. lneyery ease rinse 1ir the ~
monia with clean water. To which We
would only add, that, for removing ; sshe
spots, a mixture Of equal p't's Of ami
monia aud alcohol is lstter than alcohol
alone; anil for taking out red stains pro-
ducod by strong acids in blue and black
clothes, there is nothing better than am
monia.

"SllalaofuIIy Defeated

hAiA tl' dild 'lslAtN
We confess we do not understand why
il is that SO many Democratic papers, in
giving an account Of the situation"
should insist that we have been shame
fully defeated" We made the race up
on a platform that contained every Dem
ocratic principle that was at all practical
bic, and upon platform that contained
nothing anti-Democratic. II is true we
selected men that were once against US
on issues that are dead but they were
with US on everything that had practical
vitality. We lad just emerged from a
terrible civilwar; the South wanted peace;
she wanted a chance 10 repair her broken
fortunes; she wanted chance to recuper-
ate her last energies, and once more to
get upon her feet. To do this it was nee
essary to give her some friendly legisla-
tion. And to do this it was thought best
to ignore everything like political preju-
dice and select men vino wsssBsupposed
to be acceptable to the great mass of
Northern voters.
But it seems we were mistaken. Still
II was a movement instigated by pure
patriotism, and those who cheerfully sup
ported Greeley and Brown, can at least
have the consolation of knowing that
they did all they could for the restora-
tiou Of peace, reconciliation and good
government. And we believe those who
are oarping about an "ignominious fail
ure," are influenced more by wounded
party pride than by any just view of the
situation.
But suppose we had nominated a
Southern Demoerat2 1t would have
been proclaimed from every stump that
the rebels were trying again to get pos
session Of the Goyernmeut-and the
whole North and West would have been
conssliiated against us F.: Or suppose it
had boen a Northern Democrat? The
cry Of "copperhead' and "rebcl sympa-
thiser" would have been raised, and the
result would have been but little differ
ent. Or suppose the nominee had been
a Northern War Democrat ? Then those
Democrats who are so bitter against
Greeley, would have been driven to the
alternative of voting for a man who had
used his sword instead of his pen agains,
the South.
We most peremptorily deny that the
Democratic party has been "shamefllly
defeated or that it hes met with an zig
noninious failure" The past is strewn
thick with monuments attesting the glo-
rious truth that success is not always the
true measure Of the justness of a cause.

Romance wm Never Die.

Here Il the groundwork for Grst-
clsss novel. A blind man was crossing
Broadway the other day, when he was
on the point CT hoipgrun oyenhya a reck-
less eabdriyer, and At the risk Of her
own lie, beautiful young lady ran to
his rescue, and piloted the poor man TO
the pavement in safety. A rich baohe-
Tor saw the transaction. and stralghway
sought her out, was introduced, eorrted,
proposed, Was accepted, and mArried ths
heroine without loss Of time. The effect
of this has been wonderful. Hopeful
young ladies' can be seen standing in the
vicinity Of t.reet-crossings, with one eye
searching for stray blind men, and the
other on the lookrut for rich bachelor
for il would be an awful bore If they
should tackle the old bind man and have
the bachelor nowhere around

lie darted forward, scattering death on

the furious baud of red demons who con-
tended against the heroic little psrty Of
frontier women.
Headed by the traitor, the sayages
closed around the Spartan woman, and
the burly hand Of BacLwood5 Kit shot
forward to grasp the Lone Dove, for whom
he had risked biz IiCr. She shrank nom
him, Kissing the determined word "nev-
or " and her rifle few to her shoulder.
lie saw bis pofl, and with tiger.like
spring tried to avertit. But Beatrice
Lindaay was TOO quick for him; her fin
ger pressed the trigger, as his hand touch

shriek the william staggered back with a

He could not wait for the attack, and
therefore had stolen Charley Lindsay,
hoping the sooner to get Beatrice into
his power. He knew her attachment to

Charlie 10 the Indians, he intended tol
force the heroic girl to choose b .wecn
two dreadful alternatives-either TO be-
come his wife, or have the headless body
of her brother tossed over the palisade
some night.
His cunning, his judgement of human

fearful work of death. Once securely
fastened to the shaft he was thrown
around with fearful rapidity. As he
went over his feet and legs were tora and
mangfed by striking the roof, the floor.
and the top Of the grain elevators.
Hardly bone in his body was left un-
broken. lie must have made over q
hundred revolutions before the accident
was discovered and the machinery stop

most fearful speetaclos ever presented
was witnessed. There hung a man. Who
but few moments before left his fellow
workmen below, now mangled and dying.
with his 'fesh, bones, and blood strewn
around his feet.

other curious instance Of suicide. lie
had been living for years with his rela-
tivcs at Virginia City, Montana. It was
known that he had brought cord with
him from Germany years ago, and that
he always carried the cord in his pocket.
A few weeks ago he was missed from the
house, and was found in the barn. sus-
pended from the rafters, dead. lie had
used the cord which he had carried for
many years evidently for the purpose of
taking his life, but had never talked of
destroying himself, or explained to any
one why he carried the cord.
