WH1TEWAsH THAT WONT STICK.

There comes broadside Of abuse against
us for having republished certain acts Ct
Congress and the proceedings Of public
meetings in regard TO the Houmas claim.
It is signed P Winfree. We had dim
recollection of having read the obituary
! and perused the photograph OF person
of that name some years since, but pre-
sumo he is .edivivus, and has since con-
descended to bold position under Re-
publican Legislature as committee clerk.
This republication Of the brief Of the two
adverse authorities would show: !. That
the 2rwe Del:, was the enemy Of Shdell d
Go. ?. That the resolution Of censure was
0 political trick to inju.e slidell & Co.
With this we have nothing to do. We
have entirely verified our statement OF
traditions, and all the abuse OF a regiment
Of Wiufrees car not ''swear the seal off the
bond.'' There it is. The protest OF citi-
zens against the fraud Of their represen-
tatives-the repeal Of the act complained
of by them. So It rests and will remain.
The RErvBilcaN has undertaken 70 show
that tie frauds which have been pe.pe.
trated by the Fusion plunderers have not
had their origin since the war. They are
Of .emote and immemorable practice.
There are many other cases which all the
yituperation Of the Yesurrected strikers
can not deter the Republican from ex.
posing. The purpose is reform. and
to effec. this it has been necessary to show
the responsibility Of men without regard
TO party. In this purpose we shall perse.
we're. This ancient Whitewater Of ante
diluvian frauds may rest assured tia: his
task is beyond the adequacy OF his art.
The dark and damning stains Of domestic
rascaIty are SO burned and branded into
the history Of the past that they show
through the slang mixture which would
conceal them.
The acts of Congress which set up
false title. the petition of the people who
protested against it, and the act which re-
pealed it stands and will stand unrepealed
on the statute book. The whitewash OF
Ah-Win will scale off and disappear before
the beams and breeze of truth.

YANKEE INvENTIoNs.-An ipgcnius Yam
kee has proposed plan by which he offers
to warm Boston safely and cheaply. He
eIects enormous furnaces in some remote
locality, and conveys heat by means OF
pipes to all houses whose owners will pay
him his terms. Thus heat, as well as wa
ter and gas, will be laid on in well regu-
lated Boston houses, and the private stove
and the domestic furnace will be as obso-
lete as the old.fashioned pump and the
candles and lamps Of antiquity. Why he
should limit himself to supply hot air only
does not appear. Why does he not offer to
supply artificial iced air in summer time 7
what's there to hinder him from establish
q vast tobacco pipe, wherein the best Viz
gipia tobacco shall forever burn, and It's
pleasing fumes be conducted by supple
mentary lead pipes into every bachelor
private apartments? There lie really no
limit to the good things which might thus
be laid on in Bostonian houses, and the
day may yet come when the Boston citizen
shall havo hot and cold air, beer, coffee and
tobacco smoke supplied to every room in bis
house, by means Of pipes and faucecs.-

wrs not, then, surprised when one morn
ing a rather good-looking colOrcd girl was
brought to her for treatment. The trouble
was Of an extraordinary nature. The
friends of the girl were alarmed and
her acouaintances to the number of
about one hundred, besought the clairvoy-
nv 10 q ford her relief. The medium at
o. e brew herself into "the state" and the
white eyebrows Of her dusky audience
plotruded in ama7ement when it was an
nconced that the girl had swallowed q
snnke--that the dreadful conmotion felt
bel The waistband of the suffering pa
:ient was nothing more nor less than the
wigeling of an enormous serpent. APP
pearances favored the idee of the faith
Jul c'airvcyant. The troubled girl bad
grown to IN enormous size, and other in
dications showed plainly that no ordinary
disease had taken possession of her. TIE
Question arose, how did that dreadful
snake, unknown to the patient, ind its
way to Der stomach. But there IL was,
sure enough. And then the question forced
iiselfppon her friends how shall we relieve
her 2 This the clairvoyant promised TO do.
Her treatment was simple. The girl must
eat very little-in fact she must almost
starve herself, and the snake must be
driven forth by hunger. The treatment
was commenced. Little food was fur
nished, and the girl was made TO sit for
hours during the day and night with I,
pan of milk just in front Of her, placed
there to tempt his snakeship forth. But
he didn't come. The girl grew thin and
weak, but this time the wriggling monster
would NOT be tempted. His internal slash
ing around grew more perceptible as the
poor girl grew weak from hunger. HUI.
man nature could stand it no longer, and
the patient Iook TO her bed. Still the faith
full clairvoyent attended her, and the milk
dish was always near. The girl grew
worse, bat food was denied her, and the
snsk, was expected to leap forth at any
mom,nt. In fact, one bright-eyed little
colored girl declared that she saw the head
of the Monster dart out fiom the mouth Of
our suffering friend and quickly disap'
pear again. This was when no one else
was looking. One morning the clairvoy'
ant was called. Everything was commo-
ton in the house of the sufferer. The
snake had come during the night and cried
for milk the first thing. 1t was boy
snake, weighing seven pounds! The mat.
ter is kept profound secret. We hope
our readers will not divulge it.

BATHISG IN COLD WArER.-Nothing is
more common than custom Of many per-
sons to have cold water bath immediate

Del.cately organized ladies not unfrequent-

an impression that il invigorates the indi-

ton Of caloric or vital warmth in that way
has not only injured but destroyed more
than were benefited thereby. A reaction,
as IL is called, q glow Of warmth that sub
seauently follows, is direct draft upon
tbe system to meet sudden loss Of vitsli-
