Horace GreeIy ON the Presidency,


ST.. LOUIS, December 26.--The latest
issue OF the Caucasian, published at
Lexington, Mo-, contains the following
letter addressed to it's editor:

DenGn, Lexington, NO.: Sir:-I have
yours of the 14th inst. [ have no doubt
that the policy which you suggest is
the one that your party ought to adopt.
They should have had Mr. Salmon p.
Chase In 1868. Then, as the result OF
that contest, the return of genuine
peace and thrift would have been pro-
NOTED. That policy gave you more last
year IN Missouri than could have been
achieved by party triumph. You may
err as to the proper candidate. / am
not the man you need. Your party is
mostly for free trade, and [ am fero-
clous protectionist. I have no doubt
that might be nominated and elected
by your help, but it would place us all
III false position. If [ who am ad
versely interested can see this, [ am
sur, your good sense will, on reflection,
realize that you must take some man
like Gratz Brown or Trumbull or Gen.
Cox, late Secretary of the Interior, and
thus help to pacify and reunite our
country anew. ...-....-.

This IS the season for croup-a dis
ease that requires immediate relief, and
one that often proves fatal where miles
have to be travelled for a physician, as
in the country. The following very
simple recipe is recommended by the
Philadelphia Star, and in localities
where physicians are not near at hand
it would be well to bear it in mind ::
Take the white of an egg, stir it thor
oughly into small quantity of sweet
ened water, and give it in repeated
doses, until a cure is effected. If one
egg is not sufficient, second, or even
third one should be used.

Perfect friendship is perfect freedom.

right to be cross and captious and rude.
Whatever it is right to be, it is right to
be toward your friend. If it is digni

age and moody, don't put restraint
upon yourself on account of your wife,
