Health and Disease.

We copy tho following from the
Scientific American:
We seriously question whether
thero is one half Of the diseases emu
| merated in any good work on tho
practice of medicine, which the best
practitioners dream of curing. They
simply let these diseases have thoir
course, taking care that nothing except
the complaint shall obstruct the pa
tient's return to health. Nature does
tho fighting with the malady, the physi-
clan sees that it is fair fight, and
that the recuperativo power of the
constitution shall not encounter bad
nursing, bad diet, bad air, nor tho
bad companionship of depressing
mental influences.
Physicians arc beginning to know
how little they know, which is long
stride toward national practice. They
are gradually relinquishing their faith
in drugs, and placing their trust more
and more in tho recuperative power
of their patients. LES calomel, rhu-
barb and jalap, and more pure, sweet
air, more good food and drink, moro
cleanliness and good companionship to
prevent mental depression and disc
couragement, with rest, are the medi.
oinos now fast becoming popular, and
they are gratefully received rather
than rejected by the sick.
The present state Of medical science
is the natural result of the general
progress of the time. Old supcrsti-
tions are recognized in their true
character through the light of modorn
scionoe. The microscope, the spec
troscope, the chemists .paraphernalia,
have given us some insight into the
oction of certain substances when in
troduced into the human system, that
shows tho belief in their efficacy to be-
unfounded. Empiric conclusions
must hereafter be of that positive
character which leaves no room for
doubt, and though sickness can never
be pleasant, the coming sick man need
nor fear that artificial horrors will be
added to tho couch of pain through
the administration of nauscating
medicines Of uncertain value, and tho
deprivation Of all external appliances
that can sooth and comfort and recon.
struot his shattered system. If he is
thirsty, he will have nico cool drinks.
He will have nice clean bed, we'll

ed with pure water. His room will
be thoroughly, ventilated disinfected.
Instead of depletion by blistering
bleeding and purging, he will be treat
ed to nourishing and easily digested
broths and viands, and regard will be
paid to what were once called his abb
normal cravings and desires.

Gen. Lengstreet's Position.

All uncertainty as to General
Longstreet's position has be,n re-
moved. He gees back on his March
letter in favor Of Grant and comes
out strong for Greeley. He says his
letter urging the reelection Of Grant
was written under the erroneous i'm.
preston that Grant agreed with him
In politics and was not responsible for
the conspiracy of the Federal officials
in Louisiana to supplant the Stats
Government, subvert the reeonstruo-
tion laws, and set up a new and un.
authorized government. Grants sub.
sequent course, however with refer
ence to Louisiana affairs, has, in
General Longstreet's opinion, drawn
an impassable line between them.
Accordingly an interview with Gen.
Longstreet is reported in tho New
Orleans Republican, together with
copy Of the resignation forwarded
to Washington by tho general whom
he gave up his Office of surveyor Of
customs at New Orleans. In his
resignation he put his decision on the
ground that ho could not cooperate
with or approve the attempts of
prominot Federal officers to break
down or interfere with the preroga-
tives of State, "unlcSs it be by law
full measures and for the purpose of
protecting the State in republican
form Of government" In Stating to
the reporter that he was for Greeley,
General Longstreet defined his post
tion as that of Republican, in favor
of State tights and opposed to State
sovereignty, which, though eonfound.
ed by many, were not Synonymous
but clearly distinct. Tho ore in
wolves the rights of the States in the
Union and under the Constitution as
au essential safeguard against cen.
tralization; the other, the right of
the States to quit the Union and be-
come independent Of the Constitution.
AS tho pra otioal question now was,
shall we change our form Of Govern
ment D.? General Longstreet believed
that the cnly way to hit the golden
mean between Capitalization and dis.
integration was by supporting the
Cincinnati platform and ticket ST.

Economy In Manure.

It should be a cardinal principle
with every farmer to economizc his
manure. Upon this depends his sue
CESS, and without 1t, his labors must
TO very great extent, be without
profit, il not attended with ab solute
loss.
Fit is necessary to have the barn.
yard on hillside, it is equally neces.
aary to have the lower side of it pro.
tected by wall, or some arrange.
ment by which escape of liquid ma
nure may be prevented. 1t is almost
equally important to have q spout to
convey rain water from the room of
the barn in some other direction
than Immediately through the barn
Yard.
1t is bad enongh that the manure
heap should be exposed to rains
which fall directly upon it, without
! adding to it tho droppings from the
roof of the barn.
If suoh improvident farmers were
to behold the actual value of the fer
tilizing material thus lost, rolling
from their purses in the shape of dol.
lars and cents, how energetically
would thoy labor to prevent this
waste.
The loss of single dollar would
stir them up to greater activity than
the direct waste of hundred times
that amount in form Of LIQUID manure.
Year after year, silently and steadily,
the golden streams are flowing from
their purses. Tell them of their
error, and they acknowledge it, but
rarely does it happen that, being re.
minded Of it in a friendly manner,
they make single effort to correct it.
How many are there who, after q
lifetime of unremitting toll, find them.
selves no richer in lands Or money
than when they began !
They cannot explain the reason.
Other causes may have led to such
discouraging results, but if the drain
Of liquid manures from their barnyard
had been checked whom they began
farming, very many Of these unsuc-
cessful ones would have been as
prosperous as their more proyident
neighbors.
Every farmer subscribes to this :;
he knows it we'll but thinks he can
do better, "under the circumstances"
than to let it 60. He thinks, if he
had convenienees, he would like to
try the effects of liquid manure but
"everything wants doing first" and it
gets neglected or if he had any vege-
table refuse at hand which he could
haul to soak up the waste liquid, he
would do that, but such waste he has
not.
Now, one of the very best things to
soak up manure is common clay. Tt
will pay any farmer we'll to haul clay
to his barnyard for its absorbing pro-
perties. When this cannot be had
tho washing of roadsides, cleaning of
bitches, or anything that comes to
hand may be used instead.
There are many otEer more COM
plicatcd ways of "making manure" by
chemical ingredients, but this SIM
pie one, which every one can under
stand. All it wants is the command
of labor, and this is the main point
in which 80 many farmers err.

all possible oneself, and let The crest

Grant RcnOminatCd.

The Philadelphia convention, as all
who have watched its manufacture,
have expected, has renorinated Grant.
The President just as much owned the
convention as though it had been an
other present, as indeed it was, from
office holders. There is not now, nor
was there ever, the least enth uiasa
for Grant among the people. The
Great office holder and Office seeker
has simply been nominated by a con-
vention Of cMce.holders and Office
seekers. We repudiato the nomina-
tion, and believe it will meet with o
defeat more thorough than has ever
been experienced by presidential
ticket.
Its success would be victory Of
all that is selfish, mean and degrading
IN politics. The influence Of Grant
upon public and private morality has
been great and pernicious, but we
trust not so spread as to thor
oughly yitiate tho conscience Of the
people.
The election of Grant would
strengthen every incompetent, reck-
less, dishonest adventurer and scala.
wag who has been lifted into place
and power by the social and political
Upheaval incident to construction in
the South. Such wretches woul6 feel
Themselves backed up by the success
of similar elements in the North, and
some who are now quaking in view Of
o speedy and deserved retribution
would be encouraged to sturdy effort
for retention of their aseendency.
1t may be that the developments Of
the next sixty days wiiE convince the
Republican party of the necessity Of
presenting another candidate. If we
are obliged to choose between Grant
and Greeley, will unhesitatingly sup
port the latter, as better man and q
better Republican. Should the
Democrats make a straight nomina
tion our course will probably be af
fected by it. Beouforf Rep"blican.

Remains Of Antiquity.

The remains of a number or ancient cop
per mines have lately been discovered on
Isle Royal, in Lake Superior. These mines
show undoubted proofs of having been
worked by race ofmen long since extinct,
and of whom we possess little or no know
ledge, other than that left behind by such
traces as are now being brought to view
here. Shafts of considerable depth, filled
up by the accumulated debris of ages, are
being opened, and in penetrating to dis
lance of 60 feet, tools of wondrous work
manship are produced, together with char
coal remains, which mark this as the point
where skilled artisans formed from copper
tools whose temper and durability would
astonish ingenious makers of such things
of the present age. Hammers and chisels
seem to have been the principal implements
for working this mine, which, together
with fire, reduced the ore to condition
which rendered its removal in detail east
~ accomplished. Finely tempered knife
blades have been picked out of the pit,
and granite hammers of such size as to
require the strength of no ordinary man to

Death Of Hon. Garrett Davis.

Senator Garrett Davis died at his home
in Kentucky, on Sunday morning last, in
the seventy third year ofhis age Mr.. Davis
was born in 1901, and while yet boy was
employed as writer for the County and
Circuit Courts of the District. Beginning
in 1888, he was for three successive terms
elected to the State Legislature; from 1889
to 1S47 he was in the lower house of Con-
gress, and since 1851 he had represented
his native State in the United States Sen
ate. His second term in that body would
have expired on the 18th of March next
Mr.. Davis was originally Wing, and was
one of the most intimate personal and po-
litical friends of Henry Clay, but at the
outbreak of the war he sided with the
South, though remaining in the Senate. A
personally upright and amiable gentleman,
holding fast to the landmarks of the past
as his guides for the present, and thorough
ly earnest in advocating such views in
Congress in the face of an overwhelming
majority, Mr.. Davis will leave behind him
the memories of an honorable public life,
and amongst the heartiest tributes to his
integrity and consciousness there will
be many from those who were always and
at all times his political opponents.

MARYLAND State Loan.

Hon. John w. Davis, Treasurer of Mary
land, announces that proposals will be re-
ceived at his Office until the 18th day of
October, next in accordance with the act
of the last General Assembly to create a
loan to provide for the payment of the
overdue debt of the State, and for exchang-
ing or taking up the sterling debt of the
State and issuing currency loan in lieu
thereof, and to bear an interest of six per
centum per annum, payable semi-annually,
on the first days of January and July in
each and every year, and to be exempt from
State, county and municipal taxation, and
redeemable at the pleasure of the State in
fifteen years from the date of its issue.
The act provides that the sterling debt
may be redeemed or exchanged at a rate
not higher than four dollars and eighty
four cents ($4.S4) per pound sterling.
The Governor, Comptroller and Treasur-
er of the State, by virtue of the provisions
of said act, have been authorized to sell,
from time to time, so much of this loan as
may be necessary to carry out the inten-
lions ofsaid act. Due notice will be given
to each bidder of the acceptance or rejec-
ton of his bid.
The act above named requires every bid
der for the loan to state in his proposal
whether the same is to be paid in cash, OF
in the bonds or certificates of Indebtedness
of the State. At the same time bidders
are requested to state whether they prefer
Registered or Coupon Bonds. On SO much
of this loan as may be. sold for cash the in
terest will begin at the date ofthe payment
thereof
This is good and safe investment, and
will no doubt be greatly preferred by ou1
citizens generally.
