certify as follows: One of my daughters,
aged II years. had chills and fevers every other
day, and her stomach was so completely de-
ranged that she could keep on it neither water
nor any kind of fsod, however light. She re-
manned i'll that condition eighteen months, and
could find no remedy, no physician to cure
her. 1 then concluded to take her to the
Pointe-aux-Loups Springs, kept by Mr.. Cart,
and after having used these waters in baths
and otherwise during nine days, she left radi-
caliy cured, and has always enjoyed good
health ever since-that is, since about year.
One of my children had his head almost
covered with ringworms and he was cured at
the same Springs in few days.
/ certify also to have met several times at
these Springs, several acquaintances of mine,
who had been cured of various skin diseases.

An affecting incident took place at the Cath
olic Church, in onr town, on Sunday morning
last, during High Mass. A young but delicate
looking priest, stranger, had just delivered
an excellent sermon, and was in the act of
proceeding with the ceremonies of the Mass,
when he suddenly tainted away and fell at
the foot of the altar. Restoratives were soon
applied, with such salutary effect that in a
very few moments, he expressed himself able
to proceed with the service, and bravely did
90 to the end. The incident brought so Wv
idly to the minis of all present, the selfim-
posed priyations and sufferings of this class of
Gods ministers, that not one, We trow, of all
the vast congregation thronging the Church
on that morning but felt his heart GO out in
sympathy and love to the self-sacrifeing
young stranger who is SO unselfshly devoting
his life to the service of his Maker and the
salvation Of his fellow-men.

DEATH TO THE CoTToN WoRM.--As the cater
pillar has made it's appearance in several por-
tioHs OF this parish, as well in other sections
of the State, we conceive that we could not
lay before our readers matter of more interest
than certain modes sanctioned by science and
experience for destroying them.
An intelligent gentleman who has lived in
the southern part of Texas informs the Shreve-
port Times s'that he has seen the practice of
building fires at night, in and around cotton
fields, for the destruction of the miller, put
into successful operation there" The Times
says .ft will not do to argue that the millers
are in too great numbers to be destroyed.
They are greatly disproportioned to the num-
ber OF worms, for it has been estimated that
one miller win produce three hundred or more.
Any planter going though his cotton win be
should generate such vast quantities of the
caterpillar. These facts considered, the plan
is certainly worth trial.
Another: Prof. Rily, of st. Louis, says in a
report to the indianapolis Agricultural Con-
gress
Now, it has never been my fortune co ex-
pertinent in cotton field but from my expe-
Fience with Insecticides in other fields, feel
quite assured that, by a proper use of Paris
green, the cotton warm may be mastered.
Paris green, or Scheeles green, contains o
varied proportion of arsenious acid, and is q
deadly poison; but the manner in which il may
be used to counteract the cotton worm, rem
ders it perfectly harmless. If the green is
pure, which can generally be ascertained by
the brightness and intensity of the color, it
may be mixed with thirty parts of -four, plas-
ter, Stacked lime or ashes, and still be tho
roughIy effecfual. The least possible dusting
of this mixture upon the plants win be the
means of destroying all the worms upon them,
without the least injury to the plants them
IN the morning while they s1 wet with dew.

No Politics.
From the N. o. Herald, Aug.

from the N. o. Herald, Aug. IL
All the innumerable recipes for the restora-
tien of the prosperity of our State and city,
include, as one of their Ingredients, an entire
abandonment of politics. Every specific de-
pends upon this abstinence, mainly, for its
efficacy. The man Tho permits his mind to be
at all concerned about the individuals who for
their actsl are to rule and govern him, or who
does not consent to every form of corruption,
oppression and dmisgovernment; who even pro-
tests against the extortion of ali and more
than the earnings OF his industry, by horde
of rapacious plunderers called officials; who is
incapable OF withdrawing his mind from these
petty A'0stbIes-is past recovery or cure. There
is no remedy which his constitution will bear.
He should be treated as o leper, separated
from the healthy portion OF the community,
and left to his fate.
What we want to operate on, to exemplify
our powerful and never-faihng specific, is the
sound basis, the els BaedicdtriE natnfg of that
powerful self-ecntrol and fortitude which can
bear, with philosophical resignation, all the
ills of the worst form and administration of
government and cultivate the most enduring
patience under such wrongs and expressions
as have driven all other people to madness,
revolution and expatriation.
This is what is daily inculcated by persons
who set up for reformers and redeemers of our
people. This is the policy and wisdom en-
bodied in the frequent counsel "to ignore poll
tics and politicians !; to let government and its
administrators take care of themselves; to
bend all our energies to the several secular
and industrial tasks; to go to work, dig the
soil, pick moss from the trees, hoe potatoes,
make palmetto hats, gather blaekberries, or
engage in any other equally useful and pro-
ductive labor, and all will be well with u.s.
Why need we trouble ourselves, If the accu-
mutations of all this industry are swept away
by the politicians at one fell swoopa Can't

Wasting the Vital Forces.


 The fact that two successive Vice Presi. dents have suffered from strokes of paralysis, both of whom are rigid teetotallers, is at once an evidence that excessive indulgence in alcoholic drinks IS not the principal cause of the increasing prevalence of such ailments, and a startling indication of how common they arc among men who are subject to se- we're and continued mental strain. It is pro- per that the newspapers should turn aside occasionally from discussions of politics and business matters to arouse such of their read ers as are living too fast against the folly and danger of doing so. The warnings may not often be needed. Men seldom dread an evil which they have never experienced. But il the brainworkers of all kinds, including the restless, oyertaxed merchants, manufactur- CTS, bankers, etc, can only be induced to step out of the rush and whirl of business long enough to take an account of their mental stock and vitality, and note whether they have lost or gained as compared with year or five. years ago, definite good will have been accomplished. The man who finds himself drawing upon his reserved vital force from day to da-who no longer enjoys refreshing slesp or sound digestion needs to hold up. He IS going too fast, and is dis counting drafts on bis future enerRies at n rate which may prove ruinous.-Philsdel- phis Press.

Stock Raising.

A friend. T. J. w., living on Salt River, writes us that he has a relative in California who has large herds of cattle, and finds his range is getting too small, and wishes an swers to the following questions
 What is the price paid in Prescott for beef cattle7
 What is the price paid far stock cattle7
 Is the range in the vicinity good d7
 Is water abundant SWould butcher shop furnishing A. No. beef pay in Prescott7
 As letters containg similar enquiries arc frequently received at the MINER office, we answer this one in print that all may have the information who read the MrsrR;
 The average price paid for beef cattle Is about four cents, currency, on the hoof or six cents on the block. Stock cattle srs worth S20 to $50 per head, according ts age and quality. The range everywhere in the vicinity of Prescott is good grass grows to the tops oi the mountains, and cattle do we'll the year round.
 For four years past water has not been abundant in the section around Prescott, and the watering places in the immediate vicinity oftown which proved permanent during the season of drought just ended, are mostly taken up and occupied by settlers. On the head waters of the Santa Maria, which emp. ties into the Colorado, say 30 to 50 mile. west of Prescott, in the country recently oc. cupied by the Date Greek and walapai In. dians, there is good range and permanent water. East of Prescott, on the Agua Fria on the Verde, around San Francisco noun, tains, and on the headwaters of Salt Rive, there are immense tracts of country, we'll va tered and afording as good grazing ground as there is in Arizona.
 There is one butcher shop in Prescott and one peddler of mutton, and hunters keep s supply of yenison, antelope and other game in the market. There is now water enough p almost any portion of .Yayapsi county, iol large bands of cattle.
 The question of location Is one which tbs MIsER cannot give advice on, except in gen ers' terms, There Is plenty of room here and the best course tO parsae is for settlers ol stock men-to choose for themselves, by closer vshon made in person.
