THE Use OF PARIS GREEN.-1When the poison
is used, care should be taken that no stock of
any kind, Or even fowls have access to the
fields, nor to the vessels used for mixing; the
party mixing must take care not to have any
scratches on his hands, as minute particle of
the green will often cause malignant sores :;
the nostrils and mouth ought to be protected
as much as possible while mixing or applying,
particularly when used dry. The Galveston
Ners says that if any bad effects attend the
use of Paris green, the free use of milk is re-
commended as a beverage; but We have found
hydrated peroxide of iron Ia simple, harmless
remedy the best antidote Sores caused by
the green should be we'll covered with it, as
with an ordinary salve, and t>aspoonful, in
a wineglass of water, should,be taken twice
day internally while working with the green.

the million and milliard. The poison mixture
seems to be a success, and all admit that
wherever used and applied properly, it will
save the leaves from being destroyed. But
these worms are here in fall force and every
where carrying destruction with them, save
when they taste the Paris green or arsenic
mixture. One thing certain, next season,
when commenced at the first appearance of
the caterpillars, we are certain they can be
totally destroyed. The work commenced too
late this season to effect full destruction, but

SPECIAL NOTICES.
why Endure what is Curable :

what can't be cured must BE- endured" says
the proverb; but indigestion can be cared and
therefore IL Is the merest stupidity to endure it.
Dyspept.os have certainly a right to continue
dyspeptics TO the end OF their days IL they
choose, but as it is not supposed that any IA
tional being prefers physical torment to case
and health, the probability is that IL all suffer
ers from indigestion were convinced that
absolute, infalliblc remedy for their complaint
existed, they would with one accord resort to it.
We most emphatically declare that such
remedy does exist, and that its name is Hos
letters stomach Bitters. The record of its sue
cess extends over period of twenty years, and
Il Is fcarlessly alleged that during the whole of
that time IL has never failed to afford perma-
nent relief In any disorder or arrangement of
the stomach that was not organic, malignant,
and incurable. The testimonials that go to es-
tabish this fact can be counted by the thou
sand. Stomach complaints that had been asy-
gravated by n total disregard of all dietary
/ rules, and intensified and rendered chronic by
/ medicinal treatment or drastic purgation, have
| in hundreds OF instances been cored within
! three months by the systematic use of this cell
ebrated stomachic and Alternative. 1t should be
| remembered that weakness OF the digestive or
| gans involves many other ailments. Bilious
ness, headache, nervous debility, spasns, pal
pitation of the heart, rush OF blood to the head,
| na,,sen, vertigo, and sleeplessness are among
| its concomitants and results; and for all these
the great vegetable tonic is specific. 1t acts
| first ,ipon the stomach, and through the Stom-
! and tie bowels, It's general effect being always

A MoDoc PEAcE.-The Jackson
vile Times very justly boils over
with Indignation at the cowardly con-
duct of the Government in appointing
Peace Commissioners to treat with
the Modocs. That paper says: eve
don't want any compromise with red
handed murderers with arms in their
hands, dcfying the authority of the
government and threatening the lives
Of our citizens. We want a peace
conquered by our arms, or based up
on the unconditional surrender of the
murderers, to be dealt with according
to law. We desire that the Modocs
shall forever be removed from the
region in which they have committed
SO many hellish murders, and that
they shall receive the same treatment
at the hands of our government that
is meted out to other Indians-no
more nor no less" We concur with
you, Bro. Times. The best peace for
those cussed Modocs is piece of rope
about their necks first and a piece o.
ground six feet in length and abou,
two feet in width to the Indian
That is the abstract status of peace
ful redskin, and we are in favor of the
Modoc assassins of innocent settlers
occupying that status IN as short order
as nossihle.

THAT sweet-scented puritanical

Wilson, tried to evade the charges OF
his completely in the Credit MobiIier
scandal by swearing that his wife
bought and owned the stock and
drew the dividends. The federal
courts may let him off by viewing ii
in this light, but we imagine the peo,

thin to wash well, and that still the
