This is the season for croup-a dis
ease that requires immediate relief, and
one that often proves fatal where miles
have to be travelled for physician, as
in the country. The following very
simple recipe is recommended by the
Philadelphia Star, and in localities
where physicians are not near at hand
it would be well to bear it in mind /:
Take the white of an egg, stir it thor
oughly into small quantity of sweet
ened water, and give it in repeated doses
until cure is effected. If one egg is
not sufficient, second, or even third
one should be used.

becomes turbid on standing, owing to

house, is vessel clad from hull to top
mast in a thick coating of ice. She left
this port Dec. ., loaded with 10000
bushels of corn, sailing before pleasant
breeze, and with every prospect of a
successful voyage. Toward night snow
began to fall, and at dark q fierce storm
of sleet broke upon the vessel, covering
every rope and sail with ice. With
great difficulty the top rigging was Sc
cured, and then attempts were made to
take IN the frozen canvas. One sailor
ran promptly aloft, but in short time
was frozen stiff and motionless to the
cross tree. In lowering him to the deck
the mate and several men were badly
frost-bitteu. The insensible man was
revived little by vigorous and long
continued rubbing with snow, but his
legs are so badly frozen that his recov-
cry is scarcely possible. The storm con-
tinued with undated fury, the ice-clad
vessel sinking deeper and deeper, as the
waves washed over it. The course was
changed for Chicago, where the vessel
arrived on the evening of the 4th.
Every member of the crew, officers as
well as men, were moro or less frost
bitten, as each had taken his turn aloft
to watch for landmarks. As each came
down, he had to be rubbed with snow
to bring back circulation to his be-
hunted limbs. All of the men are
suffering intense pain, but, with the
exception of the one who was first fro
zen, are not fatally injured. The bark,
which is named the Board of Trade, is
now having the ice stripped off, after
which she will be laid up till Spring.

Pity and Politics.

The Prince of Wales is slowly strug-
Cling back to life, and the sympathy not
only OF the English people but OF the
world accompanies him in that weari-
some struggle. 1t is the long fight
against fearful odds which has enlisted
in his favor the plying regard OF all who
have heard of his danger. Had he sue
cumbed at once to the fever, there
would have been few words uttered in
his favor over his grave. A few phrases
asking for a compassionate silence, an
occasional arraignment of the Mon
archy for all that was Objectionable in
him, would have exhausted the extern
uating considerations which the utmost
charity of the world could bring for
ward. But while the kindly nature of
man remains as it is, it is impossible
that we can long watch a human soul
graphing with death, without at last
feeling our sympathies excited in favor
of the apparently weaker side. This is
not to be objected to. A common i'm
pulse that causes a world to forget its
prejudices in "a moment is too amiable
to be severely criticised. Even if it
makes men a little illogical, that is not
so bad as to be unfeellng.
The convalescent Prince is likely to
profit greatly by this suddenly aroused
movement of sympathy. By species
OF generous injustice which is perfectly
natural under the circumstances, the
fantastic calumnies which were SO rife
against him before his illness are now
likely to be balanced by resolute dis
belief in any accounts of his iailings.
The prevailing mode in speaking OF him
is to be not only charitable but kindly,
and it will not be difficult to imagine
the amusement of the epicurean young
gentleman when he reads, few weeks
hence, what manner of man his people
take MIN TO be. No man ever had an
easier popularity before him. The
simple hearts which have been giving
their thoughts and prayers to him for
the last month, can readily believe good
and hardly ill of him. From the cathe-
drals and hearthstones of England,
from the prayer meetings and pulpits of
America, and, most touching Offering of
all, from the affairs of the Parsees in
India, have gone up daily supplications
in alien tongues to different deities, for
the life and salvation of the stricken
Prince. People of all creeds love to
believe that their prayers are answered.
1t will be easy for the Prince of Wales
to convince these pious hearts that they
have not prayed in vain. He has only
to exercise little care and prudence in
his daily walk and conversation to make
his loyal people think they see in him a
living exemplar of the virtues of his
father, Albert the Good.-NeD York

End of the Cuban Rebellion.

A document has been issued by
prominent Cuban insurgents, who have

hundred others of lesser Importance. 1t
is dated Puerto Principe, and says: In
the future we will adhere to the throne
of Spain, and are now disposed to aid
the government. We nave seen our
illusion vanish, because the country
failed to support US, and foreigner
failed to aid us. The Government of

The election passed of very quietly in thif

beastly. The storm signals were set in the
morning. The sun took shelter from the weather
behind the clouds, and stayed thero ali dav
Mud Was plentiful everywhere. Tha walking
vas miserable, as everybody found who had to
tramp around town. In the morning there was
nothing cheering, and during the day there was
no excitement, and but little enthusiasm.
Epizooz kept the horses at home, and the streeta
were quiet and comparatively deserted.
Ihe public offices we're closed, and 30 we're the
saloons. Business Was generally suspended,
more, perhaps, on account Of the horse distem-
per than election. It was only around the polls
that anything like animation Was visible. There
we're the usual congregations Of ticket-ped1ers
and candidates, serving their country and them
eelVes, being particularly devoted to the inter-
ests Of the latter.
Besides the regular Liberal and Republican
tickets, there we're Temperance, Liquor-Leaeue,
Law and Order, and innumerable Aldermanic
combinations. It WAS difficult for the American
freeman, especially it be could not read, to vote
entirely in accordance with his p1econceived no.

There WAS no disorder and very little drunken
