Chicken Cholera

The following is recommended rs IN
infalliblo remedy:
When tho disease makes it's appear
ancc, take fish.oil and grease the chick
ems we'll Oh the back, neck, and under
tho wings. 1t does not require much
oil to grease large flock, and if this
IS attended to promptly. you will have
no cholera. All, or nearly all, chick
ems that have the cholera are covered
with lice, which produces the disease.
These tho chickens eat. This remedy
has never failed to stop the disease
where it has been tried. It is worth q
trial by those who have chickens SUI
fering from this disease. Yours,

An Existing Race OF Pigmics.

DR.. Schweinfurth, who has travelled
in Central Africa, recently
entertained the Berlin Geographical
Society with I'LL account of a diminutive
race of men, the Acca, whom he takes
to be the originals of the Pigmies
celebrated in Grecian literature, agree
ing with Aristotle in the opinion that
the Pigmies of Homer and of Hero.
dotus were not altogether creatures of
the Imagination. DR.. Schweinfurth
made diligent inquiry, wherever he
went, rs to the existance of lwarfish
races of men. On tho upper Nile ho
was told of men not over three feet
in stature, wearing white boards, who
were skilled in elephant.hunting and
who sold ivory 10 foreign traders" But
it was at the court of Munsa, King of
the Mombuttu, that he first saw an in
dividual of this diminutive race. "Oue
morning." says. he, "the camp rung
with q Joyous shout, as my people
brought in II curious timid little man,
the palpable embodiment of myths
which have been current for ever, so
long" BY means of gifts and kind
usage the pigmy was induced to take a
seat, when he was measured and his
portrait taken. He stated that he was
tho head of u family, living half an
hours journey from the capital ; that
his tribe arc called Acca, and that their
country lies south of that of tho Nom.
buttu that they had been con-
quered by the latter, and settled in the
neighborhood of the royal resi-.
dence. His height was one metre
0hirty-nine inches), and albeit he had
a pendent belly and very slender
shanks, he performed incredible feats
of agility. On the next day several
others of his tribe. induced by the
promise Of gifts, paid our traveller a
visit, and they too were measured and
had their portraits taken. It is to be
regretted, however, that during the
entire three weeks stay of the doctor
at Munsa's court, he never had the
good fortune to see a pigmy woman.
But why did he not go to the settle
mcnt and visit the ladies' himself7
The Acca are noted warriors, not.
withstanding their diminutiye stature.
1t happened during Schweinfurth' s stay
at the court that King Mumery, es-
corted by several hundred Acca war
riors, paid a visit to his brother Munsa,
bringing him share of the plumber
taken in recent campaign. These
Tikitiki (men who understand war;
fought sham battles for the entertain.
ment of the traveller.
The only domestic animal among the
Acca is the common barnyard fowl, and
it is worthy OF remark that an ancient
mosaic at Naples pictures the pigmies
in company with such fowls. The
Acca are much superior, morally, to the
Bushmep, and are of great service to
King Munsa, who, in turn, deserves
the thanks of cthnologists for saving
from extinction so interesting race

placed at the sides Of the hive but if
you want box honey, or honey in the

Proposed Monument to q Temperance

has been made to erect q monument in
New York to the memory of Father
Matthew, the apostle of temperance.
The workers in the matter are a COM
mittea composed of members of the
different Father Matthew temperance
societies of the city. Once in a while
they put on moral squirt, but gcner-
ally they lie Inactive in the matter.
This is one Of the squirting periods.
Yesterday one of the numerous parent
societies discussed tho subject elabo-
rately, and resolved for the tiftieth
time to do something definite in the
matter: They resolved to appoint
general committee composed Of men,
bers from all tho kindred societies.
and to call mcetingof that committee
on Sunday next. This is a good work,
and ought to be pressed to completion.

Postal Cards and their I1se.

The enormous demand for the postal
cards, which has already exceeded the
expectations of the Postofice Depart
ment by more than ne-half, renders
any information regarding their use of
great importance to the public. As it
may not be generally known that any
,Uriti'g whatever upon the face of the
cards, except the necessary address,
subjects tho card to full letter postage,
the following communication commends
itself to attention, as it is in reply to q
question which but few people UNDER
stand.
lost OFFICE DEPARTMENT,
APPOINTMENT OFFICE,
WASHINGTON, D. c., July %, 1873,
SK:-In reply to your letter OF the
18th instant, have to say that any ad-
ditional matter other than the address
on the face of a postal card renders it
unavailable, except at letter rates of
postage. Very respectfully,
j. w. MARSHALL,
First Assistant Postmaster General.
I. NJ. james, Esq, Postmaster, New
York.
The construction of the law regard
ing the postal cards is further indicated
by the following extract from the Off
cial ruling of the Department
" The law authorizing the issue of
postal cards does not contemplate the
addition of any matter other than &,
communication which may be printed
or written with pencil or ink. If any
matter is attached to a postal card,
the card should be treated rs a letter.
and held for postage at the mailing
office, but reaching the Office of delivery
it should be treated as wholly unpaid,
and double letter rates collected on de.

supreme power of the State. commanding
what is right and prohibiting what is
wrong.
Now | think no one would doubt if the
Legislature were to submit to the people
of a county or township, or ward, the Ques-
tion whether murder should be punished
by imprisonment only. and let the people
vote capital punishment" or mo capital
punishment" that would be law, and the
Legislature would not delegate il to the
people. Does n law such as the one before
us differ from thisp ? Is it any less n rule
of civil conduct than that would be p 1t
seems to me that the question OF whether
there shall be license or no license is rule
of civil conduct, commanding what is right
and prohibiting what is wrong. 1t leaves
to the people TO decide what is right or
wrong.
The cases that are cited as overruling
Parker VS.. the Commonwealth are not oil
the character to which | have referred
they are mere acts of executive admins
tration. 1t was left to the people to deter
mine by vote where the county seat should
be. That could have been left to the couE-
ty commissioner to determine, or to the
courts, or the people,
So the question of subscriptions to rail-
road stock. II is not law. So whether
part of the surrounding country shall be
consolidated into the city, so with the To-
cation of public buildings. So the school
tax might have oeen left to the school
directors. These are all acts Of executive
administration, and therefore not law, in
the sense in which the term is used in
Parker VS.. The Commonwealth, and in the
sense in which it was decided that the Le-
gislature has no power to delegate its au-
thority, as think is done in this case.

SHORT ROAD TO MISERY.-Begin by
faucying that no one cares for you, that
you are not of use to anybody-a sort of
nonentity in the household, where your place
would not be missed, but easily supplied.
Reflect on your want of beauty, and lead
yourself to believe that no one can love a
plain face, or think you agreeable because
there are Others more charming. Fancy
that every one who looks upon you makes
mental comparison which initiates
against you in favor of some one else. I'm
agine that every word said in jest is only
meant TO cover a deeper and more painful
meaning-that every article of wearing ap-
pare you don is criticized and ridiculed.
DO all this, and your tendency to mOrbidi-
ty of feeling will so increase that in very
short time you will become one of the most
miserable of human BEINGS
