THIRST QuENCHED WITHOUT DRINKING.

II may not be generally known to our
readers that water, even salt water imhi-
bed through the skin, appeases thirst
almost as well as fresh water taken in ward
ly In illustration of this subject CORE
spondent has sent us the follwoing abridged
quotation from a"Narrative of Capt Ken.
nedy's Losing his Vessel and his Distress
Afterwards" which was noticed in Dods-
ley's Annual Register for 1869: II cannot
conclude without making mention of the
great advantage received from soaking
my clothes twice day in salt water, and
putting them on without wringing. 1t
was considerable time before could make
the people comply with this measure. al
though from seeing the good effect pro-
duced, they afterward practised it twice
a day of their own accord. To this discoy-
cry may with justice attribute the preser-
walton OF my own life and six other per-
sons, who must have perished if it had
not been put in use. The saline particles.
however, which remained in our clothes,
became incrusted by the heat of the sun
and that OF our bodies, lacerating our skins.
and being otherwise inconvenient; but we
found that by washing out these particles.
and frequently wetting our cloths without
wringing, twice in the course of a day.
the skin became well in a short time.
After these operations we uniformly found
that the violent drought went off, and the
! parched feeling was cured in few minutes
after bathing and washing our clothes, and
at the same time we found ourselves as
much refreshed as if we had received
some actual nourishment. Four persons
i'll the boat who drank salt water
went delrious and died; but those who
avoided this and followed the above prac-
tice, experienced no such symptoms.

GoBBIING.-It is not that species Of gor-
mandizing known by the term "gobbled
up" that we proposed to speak about, but
of another species of gobbling by "The
Turkey of the toacn who "gobbles, COB
bles louder still,' as the day of doom draws
near. The " Turkey" is charged with cir
culating a statement that Mr.. William Tuft
is the coming man for the Aims House,
vice Mr.. Pluck, resigned-after the cleo
ton. Mr.. Tuft denounces the story as a
Turkey(to town yarn, without foundation 1t
proves one important point, however, that
the Democracy are getting ready for Salt

anybody and doubtless does him "pro-

A PILL FOR TAXPAYERS.

The inner feeling of the Democratic
leaders of Cecil county, is exposed by the
following admission Of the Editor and NJ.
d., Of their party organ in his editorial of
last week on the one per cent Jail fraud.
"That the Commissioners of Cecil county
have perfect right to ignore or reject all
under bidders, and award, not political
offices,-but contracts for public work to
party favorites." Or in other Words the
officials of Cecil county elected to their
respective positions to look after the inter-
ests of Taxpayers, have pc feet right to
squander the public moneys entrusted to
their care, for the sole purpose of award
ing political favorites. What queer doc
trine this is, to emanate from the pen of
the learned Editor and NJ. D., of the DEM
ocratic Finger Board to retrenchment and
reform. Taxpayers, and others interest
ed in your vain attempt to swallow this
pill, don't fiatter yourselves that, as an
"open confession is good for the soul,
you may be benefited thereby, for | fear
you will be sadly disappointed; there are
numbers who hold to the opinion, that
just at the precise instant after one human
being dies, another is born; and that the
soul of the deceased enters and anmates
the new born babe; but after particular
and extensive inquiry concerning leading
Democrats of Cecil county, | find that for
some hours previous to their nativity,
nobody died. l am very much afraid, gen
tlemen, that the close connection of your
party organ with the Elkton ring worms "
has completely demoralized its Editor; as
the above laundering confession is only
equalcd by his attempt on other occasions,
to convince his readers that Grants admin
istration is responsible for the present
financial panic, while they are confident
there are some things the administration
cannot do. Notably, it cannot prevent
stock iobbels and Democratic Editors from
being knaves or PREVIOUS.

THE PARKER GUN.-In another column
will be found the advertisement of the
justly celebrated Parker Gun of which Il
few words of it's history will be interesting
to Sportsmen. In 1865 while breech load
ing shot guns were in their infancy the en-
ergetic firm of Parker Bros. of West Meri-
den, Conn, of which the we'll known man
ufacturer, Mr.. Charles Parker is the head,
anticipated the wants of the Sportsmen
and commenced the manufacture of their
gun, since which time their motto has been
onward, and with firm and determined
perseverance, their success has been Won
derful, and to day their gun occupies the
most prominent position in the front ranks
of all breech leaders, and all sportsmen
who study their own interest will obtain
and examine their circular before purchas-
ing any other gun. The hundreds of testi-
monials from the best sportsmen given i'll
favor together with our knowledge of it,
justifes us in giving it our hearty endorse
ment as the best and most popular gun in
use.

AUcTIoNEERs TAKE NoTICE.-We clip
the following from the Liberty Banner,
Frederick county:
We understand that our County Court
last week decided point that particular
ly interests the auctioneer, the bidder and
the person making the sale. The case was
this: A farm was "knocked down. to
a bidder, who afterwards refused to com.
ply with the terms because no one but the
auctioneer bid against him. The case was
taken into Court. The auctioneer being
witness, testified that the purchaser state
ment was correct, and the Court declared
the sale fraudulent one and not valid.
The substance Of this decision is, in plain
words, that an auctioneer has no right to
'run up" property on bidder simply to
make good sale.

THE PENALTY FOR PETTY CRIMES.

In looking over the court proceedings,
the observant reader is doubtless often
forcibly struck with the penalty, so-called,
inflicted for petty larceny. Some poor
devil steals pound or two of meat, a loaf
of bread, basket of marketng-as one
Julia Hughs was found guilty of doing at
the last term-and many offences of this
class are disposed of at every term of court
in fact they make up the bulk of court
business.
The penalty inflicted for such offences is
term of months or weeks in the county
Jail. In the case of Julia Hughs, who had
an infant, and was recommended to mercy,
she was given six months in the county
Jail. This was indeed justice tempered
with mercy. In fact the sentence is all
mercy. An outcast on the eve of Winter
is taken from a howell and lodged in
warm, comfortable Jail, light, airy and
clean; fed with wholesome food, as much
as she requires, for six months in the cold,
inclement season of Winter, when her
child is at its most tender age, is charity
which few of that class of humanity are
favored with, without the aid of some petty
crime to open the door where plenty and
comfort abound. 1t would have been more
sensible to have sent this girl to the Aims
House, but that would not have been law
But our purpose in referring to this sub
ject was to draw the attention of our read
ers to the utter ineficiency of our criminal
jurisprudence to meet the requirements of
the age. Those petty thefts which clog
and hinder the business of our courts,
should be disposed of in less expensive,
and more expeditions manner. Empannel-
ing jury of twelve men to judge poor
devil for picking up a convenient basket of
vegetables, fat hen or some other appe-
tizing mosel, that accident places tempt
ingly near, is too ridiculous to be seriously
entertained in our present practical, adj
vanced state of society; and is only equaled
by the penalty which inhicts for term
of months, comfort and plenty, in place
of poor rations and worse shelter. While
the absurdity of this branch of our crimi-
nal-shall we call ECONOMY ?-is SO appar-
ent, the remedy for the evil is not clear.
But the philanthropy and experience of
the age, together with the great diversity
of occupations to employ the minds and
hands of men, should suggest a more SEN
sible and effective mode of dealing with
this class of criminals.

The Doctor of The Democrat perse-
vcres, l notice, in his effort to show how
your figures in Tile Wig are made to lie,
so far as they go TO show the extravaganza
of the ring wormed Democratic managers
of State and county finances. He has fig
urcd no little to prove that things are not
so bad as they seem to be, from your show
ing, and would like to convince himself,
probably, that taxes are as low as they
used to be under Republican administra
ton, but, being taxpayer himself, he has
a yearly reminder from the Collector of
the 3D. District of the vanity of such an
effort.
Just now, however, it is doubtless very
desirable that voters should forget their
tax-receipts, and be made to feel as COM
Portable as a good showing of figures can
make them.-" Hence, these tears

well known fact that, with basis of taxa
ton the assessment of 1867 one hundred
per cent higher than the Republicans had,
the per centage of taxation, ever since the
Democrats came into power in the county,
has been higher than it was under Repub-

ONE PER CENT.-The Doctor thinks one
per cent is an insignificant matter to talk
to the people about. Beside Boss Tweed's
"per cent it doubtless is, but the pile
which our "Elkton Ring" have to take
from is correspondingly small. This one
per cent so contemplate in Democratic
eyes amounted to the matter of thousand
dollars, which the stingy tax payers doubt
less think they could have used as advan-
tageously as any body else

FACTS WORTH REMEMBERING.

That the last Legislature of Maryland
cost $1SO,474, and $s5, 5s4 was taken from
the treasury which these appropriation
bills did not provide for.
That the session of 1864 cost SSS, SIT.
The reason why-the one was Democratic
the other Republican. A most excellent
and all sufficient reason for the difference.
That the county expenses under Demo
cratic management amounts to $780, 1000
more in six years than they did in seven
years under Republican control.
