Simple Cure for Headache.

If the saying is true that "he who
causes two blades of grass to grow where
only one grew before is a public bene-
factor" how much more is he who dis
covers remedy for one of the most dis
tressing diseases that poor human ma
ture is heir toY Having been afflicted
for many years with the neuralgia head
ache, and after trying all the remedies l
could hear tell of without any benefit, l
had given up all hope of cure, having
had an elder brother die of the disease,
and being told by the doctors there was
no cure for it. 1 happily thought of
trying salt, and in short time was de-
lighted to see that it had the best re-
suits. 1t is now about two months since
l tried the experiment, and l have not
been troubled since with it,
Now / want to let the "whole world
and the rest of mankind" know the rem
edy, as it is so simple that any one can
use it. Take pinch of salt and snuff it
up your nostrils till you can taste it in
your throat. Do not blow your nose for
a considerable time, but, as the water
runs, snuff it up till you can spit it out
of your mouth. In changeable weather
or if you feel any returns of it, repeat
the remedy.-E1.

A Russian Romance.

We see it stated in an Albany paper
that one of the suit of the Duke Alexis,
who by chance made visit at police
headquarters, while viewing the faces in
the "rogue's gallery" was struck by the
face of one of the women in frame. He
knew the woman at a glance, and, on
pursuing his inquiries found that the
owner of the face was set down as Mad
anne Gratowski, which he thought was
an alias. She was arrested on the charge
of shoplifting at the stores of several of
our merchants, and after trial was sent
to Sing Sing Prison for three years and
six months. The distinguished foreign
er said the woman was native of his
country, that her name was Radetsky,
and she was the daughter of one of the
first families of the empire; and what
was more, since her departure, having,
by the way, eloped, her father died,
leaving her an immense fortune. The
chief-of-police recollected the woman
well, and her general description given
by the stranger corresponded with his
impressions exactly. The Albany Off
cials assert that the woman served out
her time at Sing Sing, but has been
arrested within a year at New York,
and is now at Sing Sing serving
out another term. The stranger made a
memoranda of all that the Chief said,
and informed that officer that he would
make the fact known to the Prince, who
was acquainted with the circumstances
connected with the case, and between
them an effort would be made to secure
the pardon of Madame Radetsky.

A Southern Fair,

The following graphic description of
a fair in Roanoke, Va, is from the Val
leg, of that locality:
Zone man had what he called warb-
lers. He said, Ladies and gentlemen,
this is a very dull day, and no donbt you
all feel rather low-spirited, but we will
try to get up something to enliven you
somewhat. have hero. a little instru-
ment which l call warbler. 1put it in
nv mouth 80, you perceive, and then can
initiate any kind of bird, from an owl to
an elephant. Now will initiate mock
ing-bird Pzeet, pzeet, pzeet, tweedle,
tweedle, quivo, quivO, twyit, twyit,
twyit, purtettettettle, &c Now l will
initiate sick chicken Queek, queek,
queek. Now 1 will initiate an elephant: :
rhzwert, yrogen, fregen, &c. Here they
are, ladies and gentlemen, whole men
agerie for twenty-five cents. Thank
you, sir; another man made happy for
life Who'll be the next customer!
Only twenty-five cents for a mocking
bird, poll parrot, q pussy cat, an ele-
phant, and great horned owl. Here
they are, gentlemen; call for what you
want, and hand up your money &c.
Another one had a round board painted
green lin honor of the people who pat
ronized it) stuck full of knives, some of
the knives being stuck to twenty-five
cent greenback. He said, Here you are,
boys; come up and try your luck-you
see those knives there. Here / have
some rings. You pay me twenty-five
cents and take these rings; you stand
here and pitch them at the knives stick
ing in that board, and you take every
knife you can put a ring on, and you
can get good knife, worth at least
dollar, for twenty-five cents. One after
another the green ones stepped up and
paid their quarter and did not get any
knives-till at last gentleman who had
seen such things before said, Il will take
chance He took nine chances (ffty-
four rings), and of the fifty-four he put
thirty-two on to the knives, when the
nan shut up his shop and moved away.
He said that man would ruin him so he
came to grief"

Extraordinary Freak Of Nature.

We have it from the undoubted au-
thority of highly respectable citizen
of Port Deposit, that negro appeared
at that place a few days ago who is most
singularly constituted in his "make up"
He possesses the power of changing the
location of his heart, and of doing some
other wonderful things with his internal
improvement. Drs. Evans, Broomall
and Shure examined him. He caused
his heart to drop down from its place
on the left side, then moved it across
his stomach, then up the right side and
across the chest, remarkiug--
"There, she's gone home :"
The doctors followed the heart in its
singular circuit, marking its pulsations
as it progressed. Then the colored
brother dropped his ribs then he put
his bowels in motion, causing tho whole
mass to revolve twcnty-one times. He
then suspended the action of his heart
the doctors not being able to detect the
slightest pulsatIon.
The negro is powerfully-built and
muscular man. He says he was born in
Italy shows scars where he says he was
opened twice by a doctor in Europe
DIR. Evans offered him one hundred dol
lars if he would let him go for him
again, but he said he believed he wouldn't
try that any more. The doctor made up
sum of money, and he went on his way
rejoicing, This is, perhaps, the most
wonderful case on record
The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1872-02-01
RIDGWAY, PA, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1872

hair, high and finely-developed fore
head, light hazel eyes, unusually mild in
appearance, good mouth, with a smile
so sweet, sad and innocent in its express
sion as to cause you to wonder what
crime he could commit that would send
him to the State Prison. Enter into
conversation with him, and you will be
still more surprised at his soft musical
voice, the childlike simplicity with
which he expresses himself, tho good
language he uses, and the absence of
every expression not in keeping with an
intelligent and pure-minded young
man
What has wrought this great change
Ask those philanthropic and Christian
ladies and gentlemen who visited, en-
couraged, instructed him in Jail, and
finally, by their influence, saved him
from the gallows. Thank God, we have
few of this same class in this vicinity
ladies of fortune and refinement, an
gels of mercy, who deem it q privilege
ty visit, advise, and instruct such waifs
of society as was this poor boy. Would
there were more of them The field
fer their operations is an extensive one
and their reward a crown of glory
For inasmuch as ye have done it unto
one of the least of these my brethren
ye have done it unto me-"
The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1872-02-01
Cooperative Housekeeping.

One of the latest schemes for social
improvement is proposed for plan of
cooperative hotels and homes. The
New York bachelor is, unless i'll really
affluent circumstances, really a pitiable
being. Three modes of life present
themselves to his choice-hotel, boarding
house, or lodging, with living at n res
taurant. The first is beyond the means
of all but the wealthy. The second is,
to those who value privacy and refined
society, open to objections too obvious
to require detail. The third, which in
other countries is a most agreeable mode
of life, is i'll many respects wretched. a
lodging house keepers manner generally
indicates that it is an immense stretch
of favor on her part to take dodgers at
all, and the attention bestowed begins
and ends with his room being fixed
up" in the morning when he leaves it.
Nor do the victims sufferings end here.
On leaving his room he has to seek
restaurant for breakfast, and has either
to go where the sight of the food placed
before him is calculated rather to de-
stroy than to promote appetite, or to pay
at rate more exorbitant than the his
tory of prices records
The cure for these really serious draw
backs to the agrceableness of life in New
York is to be found in cooperative
hotels or homes or, in plain language
clubs. There are, at this moment, one
or two institutions of this kind, of n
very superior class, in successful opera
ton here, whose members are provided
with the best Of food, prepared by
first rate coolSs,a amoderate price:while
the members can, if they desire it, obtain
excellent rooms and attendance at equal
ly low rates.
The establishment of dozen such in
stitutions would do more than anything
else to check the shameful cxtortion of
some hotels; and to induce lodging and
boarding house keepers to bestow little
attention upon their prey. A hundred
members, with an entrance fee of fifty
dollars, and an annual subscription of
thirty dollars, would, with proper econ
omy, suffice for start, and the money
would soon be saved by the diminution
of charges. Only cleanliness, comfort,
and good cooking should at first be aim
ed at ; pier-glasses and gliding might
come when they grow rich.

4 Curious Giving Of Names.

The naming of children affords little
scope for ingenious novelty, as a rule.
Ordinarily, parental couple will select
the old names that designated their an
cestors, and from John to Jerusha dupli-
cate dead generation as though to or
der. We know of one marked excep-
tional instance, however, and as such we
think it will interest our readers, whom
we ask to match it if they can.
There lived a man named Asa-which
name, you will observe, reads forward
and backward the same. By an odd CO.
incidence he married q woman whose
name also spelled either way the same,
for she was called Hannah. Now here
were two good old nominatives, relics of
forefathers and foremothers (why isn't
4" foremothers" an accredited word ,
without number, and they seemed likely
to be perpetuated, with possibly some
others, equally good and old, through
generations ad iafRitum. For when the
first child came it was boy, and they
proclaimed him Asa, at once, and when
the next appeared it was girl, and it
was another Hannah, as a matter of
course.
Then noting this backward reading of

A Temperance AnecdOte.

Speaking of temperance reformers,
some one tells good story at the ex-
pense OF one of the most ardent OF them,
a person whose whole heart was in the
work to such an extent that he hadn't
time to mend his fences or take care of
his farm. A distinguished temperance
lecturer was to address the citizens in
the town where the reformer lived, and
the latter took it upon himself to meet
him at the station, and take him home
with him to entertain him. The lee
turer was talkative and full of "the
cause" There, now," said he, as they
drove by handsome farmhouse, "any-
body can see at once that temperance
man lives there. Every thing indicates
it; there's thrift and industry and con-
tentment and no doubt a happy home
there. Isn't it so Z"
"Yes," was the reply, esquire -
is a temperance man, and has very
pleasant home and family"
II was certain of it," said the lecturer.
I" But here is a place." he continued, as
they came to an old house with dilapi-
dated fence and a neglected appearance,
THAT you'd pick out anywhere as tn"
house of a drunkard. See the old hats in
the windows and the broken-down fence,
and the neglected appearance every
thing has-you can't make any mistake
about such a place-it sticks out all
over it that it's the home of sot." He
was about to appeal to his entertainer
for the truth of his surmises, when that
gentleman pulled rein, and turning the
team up to the neglected fence, remarked
with something like sigh, Il live here. y
And what could the lecturer say? He
might have said, "Well, all signs fail in
dry time" but he didn't.
