FARM AND GARDEN.
DRINKING WATER-A REFRESH.
HNCx REVERAQE

Drinking wine is habit; so is drinking
spirits, ale, cider coffee and water. The
last is though necessity; but TO drink
much is habit. Some people drink little
not because their constitutions require less
than others; it is their habit. These people
never perspire so much as those who drink
more. The more that is drunk, the more
water passes away, or the system would
suffer. As it is, the strain affects it. The
skin, the kidneys, bowels, lungs, all are
drawn upon. The result is, as may be ma
turally expected, exhaustion. For this
reason, the man who drinks much water,
particularly during the summer and in the
hottest weather, is less able to endure IA
tigue. The water is Of no benefit to him
that is, the excess. 1t must pass away, and
this requires an effort of the system, which is
the sweating process. Had he not used the
excess of water, he would not have per-
spired so; it would not have been there for
the system to expel. 1t is habit to drink
water so much; q false thirst is created.
We should drink only what is needed. The
habit of drinking more will soon be over
come, and the person will feel much strong
er, and more capable of bearing fatigue. In
winter, little fluid is needed beyond what
our food furnishes; in summer, some more,
but not much. DR.. Walter Lewis, in de-
scribiDg the ptecaution against cholera
adopted by the General Pos:ofice in Lon
don, says:
''The men employed in sorting letters
and newspapers suffer much from thirst, es-
pecially in hot weather, and consequently
drink much water while engaged in their
duties. Although the postoffice is supplied
with excellent water, much diarrhea was,
nevertheless, the result of this prac-
tice. To remedy this, the officers, clerks
and men of all classes have of late
been supplied from the medical department
with most agreeable drink, which not
only assuages the thirst, but has, moreover,
strong anti-dyspeptic and anti-diarrhea pro-
perties. It is called orangeade, and is thus
composed: Take of dilute sulphuric arid,
concentrated infusion of orange peel, each
twelve drachms; syrup of orange peel, five
fluid ounces. This quantity is added to
two imperial gallons of water. A large
wine glassful is taken for drsught, mixed
with more or less water according to taste.
The officers drink this with pleasure. 1t is
consumed in large quantities daily, and
am convinced it will be the means of ward
ing off great deal CT sickness"

Preparations for the Coming subilee

Preparations for the Coming Jubilee.
The committee on the National Peace
Reunion have made report which appears
in the Louisville papers Of yesterday.
They say.
The indications DOW are that there vii
| at least be 100000 strangers in the city
during the Reunion.
Carl Schurz not only promises to be
present and deliver an address, but he is
urging upon his audiences all over the
| country to come and meet us.
Horace Greeley has not yet responded,
but he will probably accent. Gratz Brown,
Banks, Hill and many of the most promi-
nent men of the country, have accepted the
invitations extended to them.
The stands for speakers, dining table and
main amphitheatre of seats will be COM
pleted by Saturday night.
In response to the suggestion of the Dec
Grafton Committee, preparations are al
ready begun for decorating many of the
business houses and private residences.
A large delegation will come from New
Albany and Jacksonville to take part in
the torchlight procession. They will pre-
sent grand spectacle with their torch
lights and transparencies crossing the IL
Illuminated bridge.
The committee having in charge the
grand basket picnic are making every pro-
vision for the comfort and pleasure of fam
lilies and parties desiring to attend the bar
becue.
The boats that ply between the ferry
landing and the Peace Reunion grounds
will start every fifteen minutes, and only
charge twenty-five cents for the round
tip.
The Villa Park Company, on whose
grounds, this side of the water-works, the
barbecue is to be held, have laid water
pipe from the water-w works by which to sup
Ply The ice-water tanks for the accomm0da-
ton Ofthe thirsty.
The Committee on Decoration are en-
gagged in getting up devices for ornamenting
the grounds for the day celebration and
adding beauty to the illumination at night.
Beef, sheep, pigs, turkeys, and chickens
are being forwarded from different parts Of
Kentucky to the Committee On Supplies.
All live stock goes to the Bourbon House
stock-yard.
Strangers coming to the Reunion can put
in all their spare time at the Exposition
and the Fair.
The illumination of the Ohio river
bridge, one mile long, with Illuminated
trains Of cars passing and repassing, and
the torchlight procession moving over it,
will be the grandest sight ever witnessed on
the Western waters.
The Greeley and Brown Central Club
have rendered their spacious hall in the
Public Library building to the Committee
on Invitation and Reception as their head
quarters during the Reunion.
The Greeley and Brown Clubs, and
other political organizations from a dis
lance, will be met by committees from the
Central Club of this city, and escorted to
their hall in the Public Library building.

A NEVADA PIONEER.
One OF Mark Twain's Heroes Inter.
viewed

NACWCus
Those who have read Mark Twain's ne W
book, "Roughing It," must remember the
account he gave Of "Old Abe Curry" the
pioneer of Nevada, and one of the most er-
ratio geniuses of the plains. This veteran
miner arrived III town yesterday. in COM
paDy with Adam Smith, of San Francisco,
and E. Shother, of Virginia City, all of
whom are delegates to the Grand National
Council of Red Men that is to be held in
this city on the 10th inst. Curious to see
a man who has been so much talked of and
written about, some ne wspsper men called
upon him yesterday, and listened to the
following talk:
"Well, so you've come to see me, have
you? / see that Mark has made me figure
in that last book of his. He is clever boy,
and used to like him very much when he
was out on the Plains. Always up to some
trick or other, he made good companion.
L went out to Nevada in 1853, and at that
time, what few settlers there were in that
country, were Mormons. Well, | hadn't
been there more than year or so when
they got wrangling with somebody or other,
and before they knew what was the matter
with them, they were all drove Into Utah.
little while after that silver was discover
ed, and pitched in with the rest and went
to mining. Afterwards the mine | owned
was known as the Gould IL Curry mine.
l went to work after that, making improve
ments, and building a penitentiary, and
more recently mint for the government.
III regard to politics l will say / am
Grant man. But the people ont my way
are about equally divided between Greeley
and Grant. Politics run rather high out
there once in while and sometimes things
get uncomfortably warm. Our editors gen.
orally are delightful class of men, but
some of them are regular black CARDS.
Once in while their papers will come out
with scorchjng editorial against some of
us, and not unfrequently against me. They
get all they want for the style of doing
things sometimes, and believe can par
ticularly remember of putting brace Ct
navies in my belt, and starting out after
one of them myself, one day. There is
nothing like taking the things cool.

ceedingly fine this year, and 1 never knew

to go to that celebrated Louisville Conven-
ton. But had to lay over at Evansville,
a little town somewhere up in Indiana, and
after spending a miserable six hours there
got an opportunity to get away, but was
too late for the Louisville Convention, and
so came right on to your city. like the
place very much, for it appears to be quite
lively and everybody seems to have some
thing to attend to. l shall stay here until

Buffalo, N. Y, Dec. Is, 1S70.-Dr. R.
Y. Pierce: For the past six months have
used your Golden Medical Discovery in my
practice, and in that time have tested its
merits in severe coughs, both acute and
chronic, in chronic diseases of the throat,
severe cases of bronchitis, general derange-
ment of the system, constipated condition
of the bowels, and wherever a thorough al
terative, or blood purifier, has been indi-
Gated. In all cases L have found it to act
gently, yet thoroughly and effectu2lly in re-
moving the various diseased conditions,
and bringing about a healthy action
throughout the system. Yours, fraternally,

A Small Hurricane.

About half past O'Clock, yesterday,
there was a miniature hurricane, which
seemed to be confined mostly to the Public
Square. For about a minute the blow was
terrific, and shutters, awnings, etc., were
Hopping about in the breeze as if something
terrible was about TO happen. About the
same time a whirlwind came in contact
with dozen or more hay wagons, and for
a moment vendors were fearful that they
would be left with empty wagons. Fortu-
nately it was all over in very short time,
aud that locality was as warm and placid
