CURE FOR NEURALGIA.-A
friend of ours who suffered hor.
rible tortures from neuralgia,
hearing of a noted physician
in Germany who invariably
cured that disease, crossed the
ocean and visited Germany for
treatment. He was permanent
Il y cured after short soiourn,
and the doctor freely gave him
the simple remedy used, which
was nothing but a poultice and
tea made from our common field
thistle. The leaves are macera-
ted and used on the parts affec-
ted as poultice, while a small
quantity of the leaves are boiled
down in the proportion of a
quart to a pint, and a small wine
glass Of the decoction drank be
fore each meal. Our friend
says he has recommended it fal
and near, and he has never
known it to fail in giving relief
while in almost every case it has
effected a cure. 1t is certainly
worth a trial.-Nor,cak Gdzette

a Oure for rheumatism

As so many are suffering
with rheumatism, | thought l
could do nothing better than to
give them a recipe that 1 know
Is good. In the spring and
summer of 1866, my wife was so
afflicted with it that she could
not use her right arm, and was
unable to raise herself up in
bed. We tried many liniments,
recipes and medicines, but to
no avail. Doctors said nothing
could be done, only to give it
time and let it wear away. One
day an old German Veterinary
Surgeon told me TO take equal
parts of the best oil of juniper
and spirits Of turpentine, and
apply it to the parts Affected
L did so, and in a few weeks the
rheumatism had entirely disap-
peared and my wife was well.
A few weeks later, while at a
picnic, she caught cold and was
soon as low as ever. Again
did we apply everything we could
get, galvanic batteries and ALL
We got the above recipe filled,
both the oil and the spirits being
as clear as pure water, and in a
few days she was again well and
has teenso for over two years. Al,

RENEWING PA1NT.-When
paint has an old, dingy look,
take a flannel cloth, dampen it,
and apply as much first quality
Spanish whiting as will adhere
to it, and rub the paint. But
little rubbing will be required
to removeall dirt and grease
Rinse thoroughly with pure wa
ter, and then rub dry with a
cloth. Paint thus cleaned looks
like new, and does not receive
such injury as from soap suds.
This process of cleaning is q
good one to perform before lay
ing varnish over old paint.

NEW TANNING MATERIAL,

New TANNING MATERIAL
A citizen in Vermont has made
a discovery in tanning leather,
which he claims will revolution
ize the business. The material
he uses is dye from forest leaves.
He has been experimenting
with leaves for the past two
months, and is entirely salts
fed. One ton of leaves will
tan as much leather as FIVE cords
Of hemlock bark, and will do
the work in one-half the time
BY mixing the leaves and bark
IN equal proportions, one-fourth
the time is saved. The leather
tanned by this process is
smoother, more flexible, and
yet retains the strength Of the
raw hide in a greater degree
than that tanned by bark.

THE GREAr S U

1t is useless t. deny that the political
leaders of the opposition in the South still
cling to the ideas which they held before
the war. They scout the doctrine oil
nationality. They hold on to the ultra
doctrines of the State-rights school with the
clutch of death. They denounce every
exercise Of Federal authority to punish
crime, to protect the citizen against out
rage, or to restrain oppressive and unjust
legislation by the States as ~usurpation and
tyranny. They cry out Capitalization "
when the government defines and gathers
up the powers essential to its W integ-
rity. Z.
These men believe in the doctrine oil
secession as much as they did in 1860. If
they had the power they would seeede to-
morrow. They would inau gurate war and
sabiugate the North. He who does not
know this is totally ignorant of the real spirit
ofthe Southern Democracy. And these are
the men who have the ear of Southern
audiences; who speak through the Southern
press, and who in public and in private spit
out their hatred and contempt for the gov
eminent of the United States. Numerical
ly they are not formidable, but they are
the teachers of a vast pupilage,
which, under their eorrupting influence,
bid fair to breed trouble in the future.
Astute, jesuitical, treacherons, concealing
their real aims under a show of boldness
and fairness, they have a dangerous influ-
ence upon the young and inexperienced.
Proclaiming loyalty, they denounce acts
essential to the very existence of the Gov
ernment. They hide their real sentiments
and purposes behind a profession of per-
sonal dislike. They claim to assault not
the Government, but the Administration.
They are willing to recognize the Federal
authority, but neither TIE President, nor
the marshals, nor the Federal judges must
do anything to maintain it. IL it is not q
mere fgure.head to the political structure,
they have no use for it. If it ipterpose. to

not see how greater and more manifest
committed in the last gubernatorial
in this State, did not work
equal forfeiture of self government here.
Sauce for the goose is prominently sauce
for the gander, in all political basting ; and
if an act of illegal voting in Pennsylvania
is so destructive of local self.government,
we cannot see how it should result in estal-
fishing the vital principle here in Virginia.
But the Wing undoubtedly means by
"sclf-government'' something entirely dlf-
ferent from the government of the people
possibly some %aristocracy which would
constitute itself the ~self.governing force in
the country. This aristocracy does not
exist in Pennsylvania, except IN such linn
tied force as to be thoroughly oyerborne in
a popular election, and hence, self-goyern-
ment is lost in that State. The same would
have been true here, had q majority of the
popular vote in 1859 been cast against th'
immaculate party now in power. instead o
being cast as it was, by means Of no small
frauds, for them. In other words, du'
reference being had to the Wings logic
Conservative majorities establish self
government, while Republican majoritie
utterly overthrow and defeat it!

Club of Pulaski county have authorized
their secretary to make the necessary ar
rangements for holding q convention OF the
farmers of the whole State, in this city, at
the time of the State Fair. \ resolution
was passed by the Club, providing that an
invitation be extended to other Farmers'
Clubs and farmers generally throughout the
State to send delegates to a convention to be
held at such time and place as might be
agreed upon, for the purpose OF organzing
o State Farmers Club, and that the papers
of the State be requested to give notice OF
the same and urge upon our farmers the inn
portance of such a movement. In pursuance
of this resolution the time and place fixed
upon was that of holding a State Agrlcul-
tural Fair in Richmond, October 29th
and prominent gentlemen in each county
have been invited to attend as repi esenta'
tiyes of their several sections, with o view
to a permanent organization of q State
Farmers Club. We hope the attendance
will be general on the part of our leading
agriculturists in the State, and that {
strong and influential club will be organized
whose future usefulness shall be common
