Charcoal for SICK Cattle.

Nearly all animals become sick from
improper eating. In nine cases out of
ten the digestion is wrong. Charcoal
is the most efficient and rapid correct
i've. 1t will cure majority of cases, if
properly administered. An example
of its use-the hired man came in with
the intelligence that one of the finest
COWS was very sick, ahd kind neigh
bOr proposed the usual drugs and pois-
ons. The owner being ill, and unable
to examine the COW, concluded that the
trouble came from some over-eating,
and ordered a teacup of pulverized
charcoal given in water. It was mixed,
placed in a junk bottle, the head held
upward, and the water, with its char
coal, poured downward. In five min
utes an Improvement was visible, and
in few hours the animal was in the
pasture, quietly eating grass. Another
instance of equal success occurred with
a young heifer which became badly
bloated by eating green apples after a
hard wind. The bloat was so severe
that the sides were almost as hard as a
barrel. The old remedy, saleratus, was
tried for the purpose Of correcting the
acidity; but the attempt to put it down
always caused coughing, and it did lit
tie good. Halfa teacupful of powdered
charcoal was now given. In six hours
all appearance of bloat had gone, and
the heifer was well.-[ Country Gen

Packing Butter.

A new method of packing butter 70,
the retail trade has been invented
whic promises to answer a want long
felt. The new process is described as
follows: "a firkin or barrel is pre-
pared by filling to proper depth with
strong and pure brine. The butter, as
| it is taken from the chIrn and prepared
for market, is carefully selected as to
color and quality, and inclosed in plain
cotton bags or sacks, weighing from
five to ten pounds each. These sacks
are placed in the barrel or firkin, fresh
and sweet, and as the brine completely
covers them, they can be kept in this
condition for any length of time, it is
claimed, without any deterioration in
quality" One great advantage that is
claimed for this new style of packing
lis, that dealers can take one or more OF
the bags from the original package,
leaving the rest safe under cover of the
brine and excluded from the air. The
bags are suited to to the retail trade, as
they are just about what is generally
needed for family use, but are at the
same time so conveniently arranged
that any smaller amount can be cut
from them in the handiest manner.
This is an experiment in packing but
ter, but is worthy of consideration by
retail dealers.-[B Buffalo Commercial
Advertiser.

The Topic of Conversation.

A writer in the Hearth and Home
agrees with many philosophers OF en-
cient and modern times that the
weather is very common topic Of con-
yersation. Repeatedly, he says, You
hear the gentleman saying, at is ex-
tremely hot this evening"" and the
lady replying, "Yes, think it is hotter
than it was this morning. to which
the gentleman assents, and says, "Bui
it was not SO hot as 1t was last night, u
to.which the lady assents, and says, All
it is as hot tomorrow, ] don't know
what shall do" to which again the
gentleman gives his assent, and goes
on to say, aBut I don't think 1t is pos.
sible for it to be hotter than it was yes.
terday,n to which the lady gives her
assents, and the subject is continued Of
some length. The writer thinks that
for 50 barren topic as this some other
should be substituted, and suggests that
arithmetical observations, for instance
would be better than meteorological.

The Philosophy of Marriage.

What Thodore Parker knew about
the "blessed estate of matrimony" is
told in this extract: "Young people
marry their opposite in temper and
general character, and such a marriage
is COMMONLY good match. They do
it tinstinctively. The young man does
not say, My black eyes require to be
wed with blue, and my over-vehemence
require to be a little modified with some
what Of dizziness and reserve.'s EWhen
these oppo sites come together TO be
wed they do not know Il; each thinks
the other just like itself. Old people
never marry their opposites; they mar
~ their similars, and from calculation.
Each of these two arrangements is very
proper. In their long journey these
two yodng opposites will fall out by
the ways a great many times; but each
viii charm the other back again, and
by and by they will be agreed as to the
place they will go and the road they
go by, and become reconciIed. The
man will be nobler and larger for be-
ing associated with so much humanity
unlike himself, and she viii be nobler
woman for having manhood beside her
that seeks to correct her deficiencies
and supply her with what she lacks, il
the diversity be not too great. The old
bridegroom, having a much shorter
journey to make, must associate him.
self with one like himself. Men
and women are married frac-
tionally; now small fraction, then a
large fraction. Very few are married
totally, and then only, 1 think, after
some forty or fifty years Of gradual ap-
proach and experiment. Such large
and sweet fruit is a complete marriage
that il needs very long summer to
ripen in, and then long winter to mel
low and season in"

TANsYs AND PEAcHEs.-A writer in
a New York paper recommends sow
ing tansy about the roots Of peach trees
as a means of preserving them. He
says he once knewa large peach tree
which was more than forty years old,
while several generations of similar
trees in the same soil had passed away
This led to an examination and a bed
of tansy was discovered about the trunk
1t was naturally inferred that the pres
ervation of this tree to such green old
age was attributed to the presence OF
this plant. It was decided to try the
experiment on others, and accordingly
a few of the roots were placed about
each of the trees on the premises, some
Of which gave signs of decay. Not only
has it preserved them for several years
but renovated those that were unsound.
The odor Of this plant, he says, doubt
less keeps off the insect enemies of this
kind Of tree, and it would have the
same effect on others, as the plum, ap-
pie and pear, as well as the sycamore
and other ornamental trees.

Seats or no Fares.


The Springfield (Massachusetts) Re.
publican of August 18th says: ga gen.
tleman from the West, who arrived in
this city yesterday, tells of an incident
which happened this week on New
York Central train, which may furnish
ahint to travellers hereabouts. Among
the passengers who got on the train a;
Utica, New York, were twenty-three
men who were unable to find seat
Among them was lawyer, who pro.
posed to the rest that all decline te
give up their tickets until iurnished
seats. The agr ;ement was made, and
when the Conductor came around he
found twenty-;hree gentlemanly but
very obstinate men, who refused to
give him their tickets unless he would
show them a place to sit. The Con-
ductor replied that there were plenty Of
vacant seats in the next car; but on In.
quiry it was aseertaiued that this was g
drawing room car, for which extrs
charge was made. So the twenty.
three men declined to bulge, and mat
ters remained in this unsettled condi
ton until the ears had gone long dis
tance. The Conductor finally induced
two dozen persons who had seats to gC
into thedrawing-room car, without extrs
charge, and then made a place for the
obstinate twenty-three, who then gave
up their tickets as they had said they
would do. Undoubtedly they had tbs
right fit, as the courts haverepeated
ly decided that passenger is justified
in refusing payment Of fare until tbs
railroad company gives him proper nc
commodations."

How TO GET RID Of SCFEHFLUoUs
FLEsH.-HalFs Journal Of Heath says:
''Not long ago a gentleman Of three
score, who had hardly ever been sick in
his life, thought ne was too fieshy and
began to Bantamize. He succeeded
famously, and boosted to his friends
that he had got rid of ten pounds in a
few weeks. A little later he was attack
ed with painful and dangerous mala-
dy, from which he has been suffering
for more than year. If a man can
sleep soundly, has good appetite, with
no unpleasant reminders after meals,
the bodily habits being regular every
day, he ad'better leave himself alone,
whether. .he is as big as hogshead, or
as thin and dry as a fence rail. Several
cases of Bright's disease have been re-
ported by medical men of reputation as
a result of practicing Bantam's plan,
for getting lean. The very best and
safest way to get rid offat is to work it
off. This may be aided by eating food
which contains large amount of nitro
gen and small amount of carbon. Nj
trogen food is that which gives strength,
power to work, as lean meats; carbon
aceous foods are those which make fat,
such as cheese, potatoes, rice, corn, peas
beans, tapioca, arrow-root, corn-starch,
milk, sugar, syrup, and oily and fat
food. Raw fruit and berries largely
eaten are great ends to reducing weight.
But, after all, the great reliance should
be on exercise and work in open air.

who performed greater feats than Wes-
ton, lost ten pounds in two or three
days walking, and was neverthe worse

the Presidency:
To II. K. Shackleford and Commit

preciating. He cannot carry this

A New York special to the Cincin-
natl Enquirer contains the above, and
adds: st1t is understood the choice of

O'Connor and Stephens are likely to be

Brighter Prospeets-ohio for Greeley.

We have news of much interest from
Ohio. The Liberals and Democrats there
have entirely recovered from the effects Of
the October election, and are setting to
work with energy and high hopes to carry
the election in November.
Had the whole force of the Democratic
party gone to the polls in Ohio the week
before last, there would have been Lib
erul Democratic majority of 10000 instead
of GRAET majority of 12,0OO or l5,00O.
There were great many Democrats who
took little interest in the struggle and al
lowed il TO go by default. II is known in
what parts and districts of the State these
Democrats are, and effective measures are
now being applied TO organize them and
bring them all into line for the great con-
test of the Presidency. Our friends are
full Of confidence that they will succeed
In this effort and that Ohio will give her
electoral vote 20 GREELEY and Brown.
II is perfectly certain that IL the mass of
the Democratic party really wish TO beat
GRANT and elect HORACE GREELEY they
can do so And If they wish TO beat GREE
LEY and elect GRANT that result is also
within their power. II will depend upon
them; and We are glad TO hear that in Ohio
ut least, where the Democracy have in
former times manifested more steadiness
aad more devotion TO principle than in any
other part Of the Union, they are now
getting ready to do their duty in earnest.
