On Tuesday, the second instant, an
election for State officers occurred in
Georgia, and though complete re-
turns have not yet been received, the
indications are that the Democrats
have carried the State by a majority
varying from thirty to fifty thousand.
Only four counties out Of sixty-nine
heard from have given Republican
majorities.

The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1872-10-05

Honest James Graham, State Audi.
tor OF Public Accounts, who preferred
being thrown into prison for contempt
OF court rather than issue warrants fol
what he considered a fraudulent claim
upon the State treasury, has been re-
leased from confinement by order Of
the. Supreme Court. The claim which,
MIR. Graham refused to recognize was
one of the Board of City Assessors,
amounting, if our memory serves us
right, to over S85, 600, and was for
percentage upon assessments. The
Board of Assessors applied to the
Eighth District Court for a writ Of
mandamus to compel the Auditor to
issue the warrants, and the writ was
granted, but the upright Auditor per-
slstently refused to obey the order of
the court and was thrown into prison.
He was pardoned out by Gov. War
moth last week, but was again con-
fined, the court deciding that the
Governor had no right to interfere.
Mr.. Graham had appealed the case re-
garding the Assessors claim to the
Supreme Court, and that court or
dered his release until the appeal is
heard and decided. The firm stand
that "honest James, as he is widely
known, took in this matter, has proved
him to be a most exemplary public
official, like whom there is probably
not one III a thousand, and we think
the people will indorse the manner in
which he sacrificed his personal liber-
ty to protect their interests, by re-
electing him to the position to which
he is an ornament. Let honesty and L
conscientious performance of official
duty be upheld by all, irrespective of
party.

STAMM ERING

Stammering is due to unbalanced ac-
ton OF the muscles concerned in artlcula-
ton. This is why many persons who
stutter badly in speaking can sing with
out difficulty Singing, compared with
speaking, is as walking compared to
running. Some persons whose muscular
the case of many sedentary females, can
walk very well, but cannot run without
staggering. The athlete can run With
the same grace and symmetry of motion
that be can walk. In singing, the mo-
tons of the articulating muscles are
slow, deliberate and measured. In
speaking they are rapid, and if all do
not contract liz harmony, some will be
thrown into spasmadlc action. And
this is stammellng.
In some cases the tongue, and in other
cases the lips act systematically, produc-
ing the varieties OF stammerlng known
as lingual and labial. 1t is very easy to
understand that, if these defects are not
corrected in childhood, they become, by
long habit, very invetcrate in adult life.
Yet nearly all cases are durable by judo
cious training. But months OF patient
and persevering effort are usually re-
CURED.
The remedial plan consists essentially
in ascertaining what words or letters &C.
casion spasmodic action, and practicing
on them by pronouncing very slowly and
distinctly, as in singing, until the habit
of spasmodic action is overcome. The
patient must, on no account, utter a
sound hurriedly, nor until the mind has,
by deliberate exercise of will power,
got control of the muscles. A good elo-
cutionist may be Of great service to the
patient: but be must study the peculi
arities of each case, and not undertake
to manage all cases by routine, SCI

OFFENSIVE BREATH.

What is more disagrceahie than an of.
fensive breath? Perhaps flthiness of
person which would produce an unpleas
ant odor and unpleasant appearance IN
the eye; but we are speaking more of
persons of responsibility, who move in
good society. 1t is not very uncommon
for such people to haye breath So often
sive as to make their presence extremely
disagreeable. There may lie several eau
ses for this. but one of the more common
is decayed teeth and the want Of care re-
spectipg the cleanliness of the mouth
and singular as it may seem, one may
have an offensive breath and not know
it, and it is subject on which friends
are very reluctant to speak, so that one
may have bad breath for year and all
his friends be aware of it, and he not
konw it. Let US recommend to all per-
sons the propriety of keeping the mouth
clean. After each meal one should re-
move with stick or quill all loose parti-
cles Of food from between the teeth. and
rinse the mouth with water and soft
brush at night and in the morning, and
little nice toilet soap on the brush, may
be used. Nine out of ten who annoy
their friends with bad breath might OBJ
viate it entirely by following these direc-
tons in regard to the mouth. Science

MEDICAL HUMBUGS.

The cunning of quaeks is marvellous.
Their game is to play on human igno-
rance and credulity.s They not only sell
multitude of poisons as specifics for
diseases, but they make merchandise by
sophisticating air, water, and food and
in pretending to make Hygienic agencies
more Hygienie, as though God and ma
turo had blundered. Some spectators
in this line are advertising Compound
Oxygen and an enterprising individual
has just introduced "Vitogcn' as an i'm
provement on ordinary atmosphere
Becher says (the Beecher we mean) that.
in any system Of philosophy, it is always
a mistake to leave God out. And so in
any plan of medication, it is mistake to
leave nature out. Nature has surround
ed US with an atmosphere very well
adapted for breathing purposes. But no.
body can sell it. 1t will not bring pen

HYGIENIC PIE-CRUSTS-

A long trial proves the thorough adapt
ability Of oatmeal for that purpose.
Take No. l meal if possible, wet with
half its measure of hot water. 1t can
be easily rolled thin enough, 1t will
swell but little in baking. 1t is not SO
white as those pie crusts made of white
-four and to the unaccustomed eye not so
attractive, though that is a matter of
taste To my notion they are far pro-
ferable, even In appearance to the crusts
soaked in hog S lard, which here in the
city have earned themselves the sug.es-
tive soubriquot Of ''scrabs, and they
are certainly far more wholesome than
any shortened pie-crusts whatever. To
avoid the uncustomed appearance, how
ever, tarts, tart pies, and fruit and berry
pies Of many kinds can be made without
an upper crust can be removed after ba-
king. Black berry, raspberry, plum,
peach, grape, and many other kinds of
pies can be made in this way. The
crust bakes very quickly, SO that any
kind Of fruit that requires muck cooking
should be cooked before it is put In. 1t
also makes very pretty ornaments, cut
in various shapes, with cake cutters,
and laid upon the surface Of tart pies
is agreeable to the taste, and very few
persons would notice the difference when
made without an upper crust. As peo

versal intelligence of the lower classes OF
that city, Your cabman speaks to you,

fectly correct and grammatical German
your washerwoman' bill is model OF
neat and handsome penmanship and cor
rect spelling; your wifc's seamstress Is
able to discuss the latest publications,
the views in the political and fashionable
world, and examines the books on the
table with critical experienced eye. To
be sure, their universal intelligence has
a tendency to make ''the hewcrs Of wood

the cabby and the washerwomen make
up for the absence of ignorance by
pertness and independence of manner

degree in no other European capital
Yet the fact that they can all read, write
and cipher, brings the result of the

A NATION OF PIGMTES.

To the south of Kaffa and Susa, there
is very sultry an1 humid country. with
many bamboo woods, inhabited by the
race called Dados, who are no bigger
than boys ten years old, that is, only four
feet high. They have dark, olive color
e / complexion, and live in completely
savage state, like the beasts, having
neither houses, temples. nor holy trees,
like the Calais, yet possessing something
of an idea of a higher being called Yer,
to whom, in moments Of wretchedness
and anxiety, they pray-not in an erect
position, but reversed, with the head on
the ground. and the feet supported up
right against tree or stone. In pray
er, they say
Eyer. if thou really doest exist, why
dost thou allow us thus to be slain? We
do not ask thee for food or clothing for
we live on serpents. ants and mice. Thou
hast made u.s. Why dost thou permit
us to be trodden under foot?"
The Dakos have no chief, no laws, no
weapons; they do not hunt, nor till the
ground, but live solely on fruits, roots,
mice, serpents, ants. honey. and the
like. climbing the trees and gathering
the fruit like monkeys; and both sexes
90 com pletely naked. They do not mar
ry, but live the indiscriminative lives of
animals, multiplying rapidly, and with
very little parental instinct the mother
nurses her child for short time only,
accustoming it to eat ants and serpents
as soon as possible and when it can help
itself. it wanders away where it willard
the mother thinks no more about it.
They have thick, protruding lips, fiat
noses, and small eyes; the hair is not
wooley, and is worn by the women over
the shoulders. The nails on the hands
and feet are allowed to grow long, like
the tallons of vultures, and are used in
digging for ants and in tearing to pieces
the serpents, which they devour raw, for
they are unacquainted with fire. The
spine of the snake is the only ornament
worn around the neck, but they pierce
the ears wit a sharp pointed piece Of
wood.

THE BUSSINES OF CHILDREN.

The BUSSlN ESS Ot CHILDREN.
Children as well as adults should have
occupation. Idleness is an abominatiou
at any period of life, from the cradle to
the grave. For Satan finds some mis-
chief still for idle hands to do" Nature
knows nothing of idlers. If children are
natural why should they be- idlers.
Now the business of children is to
gro,0: This may be new theory,
startling innovation, revolutionary SEN
timent, but we think it is true. As we
look over the world we find that children
generally are put up to all other business
except growing. They are permitted to
grow if they can, but compelled to every
thing else The growing is secondary
and incidental when it should be prima-
ry and fundamental. Children are con-
fined six hours Gay in the school-room
under the delusion that they are being
educated. They may indeed learn to
repeat words and talk phrases. But all
the ideas they get at the expense of
bodily development are useless or worse.
They may recte all the books, from Al
pha to Omega, and y ct be knownothings
for al: practical purposes. Cultivating
the mind at tho expense of the body
was never done and never will be. All
attempts in that direction only dwarf and
enfeeble both. Science Of Health.

OATMEAL BREAKFAST CAKE.
This Is made of No. oatmeal, with
water enough to saturate it, and little or
no salt. Pour it into a baking tin half
an iuch or three quarters deep, shake it
down level, and when this is done it
should be so wet that two or three
spoonfuls oe water should run freely on
the surface. Put it in quick oven and
bake twenty minutes. Eat warm. 1t
will be as light and tender as the best
johnny cake, or else you have wet it
TOO much or baked it too long. This is
one of the most accommodating baked
dishes that can. be made. 1t will dc very
nicely with little longer time if the
oven is not quite hot. If it will no. bake
there at all, pour it into frying pan,
cover it close and set 1t on the top of the
stove, where it will even bake in fifteen
minutes. For hurried breakfast and
a,slow coal fire it is invaluable. Scarcely
any wholesome thing In the bread line
can be prepared more readily. 1t can be
made still thinner and baked quicker
1t is good either crisp or moist. For
emergency alone every housekeeper will
find it convenient to be able to make
this breakfast cake. Many use oatmeal
mixed with buck wheat, wheat or
corn for sriddle cakes. For this use
prefer it cooked fist. Take, say one
half pint of porridge or mush, dilfuse it
in one quart of water and add the wheat
meal, sitting it in and stirring it slow
