A THOROUGHLY French story reaches
US from Alsace. The writer says:
"We have found out one very nice way
of annoying our oppressors. Very
many OF the Prussian officers have
little white dogs. We catch these little
white dogs and color their heads and
shoulders red and the hindquarters
blue, leaving a white streak in the
middle, thus joining the French colors,
red, white and blue. Then we let the
little dogs 20, and get around and hear
the Prussians swear. 1t makes them
very angry, indeed"

A COMPANY OF French glass workers
have located with their families in st.
Louis, where they propose to construct
substantial works for the manufacture
OF French glass. From the report SUBJ
mitted on the feasibility of the enter

chemical compound of silica, alkalies
and lime. to which are added metallic
oxides, to give the shade required BY
the trade. The silica in the state OF
sand is found in inexhaustib)e quantities
In the eastern part OF Missouri.

GUS power he skillfully led them over

when at dead fault would strike q

THERE is a good deal Of brass and
impudence in the resolutions OF the
Iowa Republicans, adopted at their
State convention on Wednesday. For
instance, these gentlemen cody assert
that "the Republican party is now, as
it has been, composed of the best and
purest political sentiment OF the coun-
try;" and actually applaud "the active
measures of the late Congress, in ferret
ing out and exposing corruption. The
Cleveland Plaindealer says: I'VE sub
NIT that party servility can 60 no fur
ther. Iowa is the banner State.
Some one evidently swings a long
party whip in that State, and
isn't sparing of it's application. The
mistake made by these Iowa gentlemen
was in making their flatteripg resolu.
tions specific in application instead OF
general. A general laudation OF the
Republican party was in the direct line
OF business, OF course, and was to have
been expected; but when they came to
instancing particular cases OF its e'h-
cheney for good, and were so unfortunate
as to cite "the active measures OF the
late Congress in ferreting out and
exposing corruption" they Immediately
pitched head foremost into the slough
Of absurdity. No honest man can now
deny that the tame pretence of the late
Congress OF Investigating" the frauds
of it's members, ending in nothing but
the baldest kind of whitewashipg. was
the most shameful fiasco on record:
The Iowa Republicans we'll attested
their loyalty" but alas they made fools
OF themselves.

A Cholera Specific.

From the New York Journal Of Commerce.
More than forty years ago, when it
was found that the prevention for the
Asiatic cholera was easier than the cure,
the learned doctors Of both hemispheres
drew up a prescription. which was pub
lished (for working people, in the New
York Sun, and took the name of the
"Sun Cholera mixture" Our contem-
porary never lent it's name to better
article. We have seen it in constant
use for nearly two score years, and
found it to be the best remedy for
looseness of the bowels ever yet
devised. 1t is to be commended
for several reasons. 1t is not
to be mixed with liquor, and there-
fore will not be used as an alcoholic
beverage; its ingredients are we'll
known among all the common people
and it will have no prejudice to combat
each OF the materials is IN equal pro-
portion to the others. and it may there
fore be compounded without profession
al skill and, as the dose is go very
small, it may be carried in a tinny
phial in the waistcoat pocket, and be
always at hand. 1t is:
Tinct Opii,
Capsici,
Rhei co,
Menth pip,
Campho.
Mix the above in equal parts; dose,
ten to thirty drops. In plain terms.
take equal parts tincture OF opium, red
pepper, rhubarb, peppermint and cam
phor, and mix them for use. In case OF
diarrhpa, take dose of ten to twenty
drops in three or four teaspoonfuls OF
water. No one who has this by him,
and takes it in time, will ever have the
cholera. We commend it to our west-
ern friends, and hope that the recipe
will be widely published. Even when
no cholera is anticipated, it is an excel
lent remedy for ordinary summer COM
plant. Preserve this paragraph.
