A NEW CHILL CURE.-The local
editor Of the Tere Haute Journal has
discovered a new cure for ague. Here
it is: To those afflicted with ague we
say emphatically, crawl down stairs
head foremost. Laugh at the idea if
you please, but, do your crawling
first; you can then afford to laugh.
just as the chill is coming on, start at
the top of a long flight of stairs, and
crawl down on your hands and feet,
head foremost. You never did harder
work in your life, and when you ar
rive ut the bottom, instead of, shaking
you will find yourself putting, red in
the face and perspiring freely, from
the strong exertions made in the eff
fort to support yourself.
1t will effect a cure beyond a doubt;
but whether from this cause or from
that, we will never tell you, nor need
you care to know. Try it. 1t won't
cost you near as much as quinine or
patent medicines, and if it fails it will
only do what they do every day. If
it cures, as it surely will, lay the facts
before our local scientists, and let
them discover the cause. At all events,
ye shaking sufferers, lay this maxim
to your heartss:o "Crawling down
stairs head foremost will certainly
prevent a chill"
The SUPREME BENCH VACANCY.-A
Washington special to the Cincinnati
EnQuirer says: The expected vacan-
cy Oh the Supreme bench, contingent
upon the retirement of Judge Nelson,
develops the usual amount of candi-
dates. The United States Senate has
at least three members, Conkling,
Howe and Edmunds, who have long
had aspirations in this direction. In
fortunately, however, these gentlemen
fall within a constitutional plohibi-
ton, they having been in Congress
while the salary of the Office was in
creased. The South comes to the
front with a formidable list, such as
Judge Durant Of Louisiana, Judge
Bond of Maryland, and Settle of North
Carolina. Judge Carter, of the Dis
trict Supreme Court here, has long
been an aspirant in this direction, and
he is sanguine enough to believe that
the friendship Of the President for
him is strong enough to make his own
foregone conclusion.
1t may be confidently asserted that
no Southern man will receive this APP
pointment, as the circuit over which
this judge presides is the most i'm
portant in the North, and the selec-
ton will undoubtedly be largely in
f1uenced by the wishes Of the New
York bar, which is the most directly
in Nelson's successor.

There is no mistake about it this
time. The New Orleans and Texas
railroad is going to be completed as
socn as possible. The election of ex-
Governor Sprague as president Of the
company seems to have given the road
an impetus which it has long needed.
