on he suggestion of General Pleasanton,
tried the following plan: Every other pane
of glass in one OF the windows of the patient :
ioom was removed and blue glass subsli-
iuted, and the patient required to expose her
back and spine to the action OF the combined
blue and white lights for thirty minutes each
day at the same hour At the beginning OF
the treatment she was unable to sleep or eat,
WAS in miserable cordtion and wasting
rapidly. At The end of ten days the pains
in her back were less, her hair had beg N
growing rapidly, and there was a marked
Improvement in her general condition. In
three weeks she was almost entirely well.

FREEDOMS RALLY.

Up, brothers, see the day star shines,
The night of iiscord fades;
Hope spreads her wings from northern pines
To southern everglades;
From eastern coasts that greet the morn,
To white robed cotton land
Prairles that wave their tasseld corn;
And fair Pacific strand
No more the sound of drum and ffe,
Calling for armed men;
Columbia claims in peaceful life,
The plowshare and the pen.
The Union flag is still up-borne
BY parrots brave and true;
And not single star is torn
From out its fl III of blue.
Well may the soldier yield the day
To labor's brawny arm;
The epaulette no longer sways
The workshop and the farm.
Then let our rallyins chorus rise
For freedom and reform;
Till light electric & Ids the skies;
lid factions binding storm.
May greed and pride, and lust, of power
From chairs of state depart.
While honest labor rules the hour,
And warns the nations heart.
No more the sound of drum and fife,
Calling for armed men;
Columbia claims. III peaceful life,
The plowshire and tho pen.

JOSH BILLINGS on LAGER BEER.

hav finally cum TO the conclusion that
lager beer Is not inoxc ,tiny
| hav bin told so by a Germ IN who sed he
had drank it all mite lony jest to try the ex-
pprimcnt, and was obliged to 90 home en-
tirely sober in the morning. | hlv seen this
same m IN drink sixteen glasses, and if he
was drunk he was drunk in Germ,n, and
nobody coall understand it. 1t is proper
enuif to state that this nun kept lager
beer saloon, and could have no objecs in
stating what was not strictly thus.
believe him to the full extent ov mi
ability. never drunk but three gl,sses of
lager beer in mi ife, and that made my he'd
ontwist as tho it was hung on the ead ov u
string. but was told That it was owing to
my bile being out of place and guess that
it waz so, for never billed over wuss thn
did when got home that mite. Ny wife
thot was going to die, AMI WAS afraid that
shouldn't, for it dill seem as tho everything
had ever elten in my life was cummn TO
the SUFFICE. and i do reilly believe that if
my wife hadn't pulled off mi boots i,st "a
she did they would have come laundering
up too.
O. how sick waz IA years ago, and can
taste it now.
| never had so much experience in so short
time
If emmy man shud tell me that lager beer
was not intoxicating, i shud believe him; but
if he should tell me that wasn't drunk that
mite, but that my STUN ,cl< waz only out Of
order, shud ask him to state over in few
words jest how nun felt and acted when
he WAS well set up.
If i wasn't drunk that mite had some ov
the most naturd symptoms that Il man ever
had and keep sober.
In the first place, it was about 50 rods
from where drank the lager to mi house,
md was over 2 hours on the road, and
had hole busted thru each one of mi plnta-
loon kneese, and didn't htve emmy hat, and
ried to open the door with the bell pull, and
hckupped awfully, and say every thing in
the room trying tew get round on the back
side ov me; and in settin down in chair i
dldn wait long enough for it to get exactly
under me when il WAS goin round and j set
down ii little too soon and missed the chair
,bout II inches, and couldn't get up quick
enough to take the rext one tn It come along;
md tha, amt all; mi wife said was as
drunk as Il beast, and as said before,
begun to spit up things freely
Ii lager beer is not Intoxicating. it used me
almighty mean, that know.
Still, hardly think ihtt lager beer is in
toxicl'ing, for i have been told so; and am
probably the only man living who ever drank
emmy when his bile was not plumb.
| don't want TO say anything against a
temperance heverge, but if ever drink any
more it will be with my hands tied behind
ne, and mi mouth pried open.
! don't think lager is Intoxicating, but if )
remember right, think it tastes to M like Il
glass with handle on one silc of it., full ov
soap snds, that pickle had beca put to-
soak in.

THE BURDEN OF IAXArGoN.- The Civl,
Service Reform Committee alleges lhatnncy
millions of dollars a,e annually $ oen from
the proceeds of collection before the money
is paid in the Treasury. For four years this
would of itself constitute II corruption ana
election fund of three hundred and sixty mil
lions of dollars. But Freeman Clark, for
merly L. s. Comptroller of the Treasury.
now Grant member of Congress from th'-
State, has reported the stealing under the
Federal government alone at nine hundred
millions. TO every one 1t all conversan
with Federal co:rnptions, This will seem a
moderate sum. In fact this sum was, ac-
cording to the T. S. Comptroller, stolen al
ready more than two years ago when he
declared that amount had been stolen.
Thus stealing to an amount sufficient to
have paid off one half of the public debt had
been made. Had the sum been honestly
paid into the Treasury, and honestly applied
to the payment of the public debt
The ann,al interest and the annual expeneeS
of collecting the internal revenue, with all it,
vexations and legions of harpies might have
been abolished; the income from duties woul
be quite sufficient to meet all just charges,
