The PolicelJ Jury.

NJ. J. Cunningham arrived from
New Orleans per bart Able last Tues
day, where he had gone upon duty as
. Committee of the Mass Meeting OF
the citizens, to present to Governor
kellogg a petition demanding the re-
moyal of four Of our Police Jurors
Tho success he had in securing the
appointment of two, W. A. Ponder
and r. E. Hammett, entltle him to
our hearty thanks.
tlc met in the Governors office, on
= similar mission, Blunt, Myers and
Boullt, Jr., and was unable to secure
tho appointment Of any other of the
four named by the Mass Meeting, or
in TACT any good citizen, who was
competent, on account Of the persist
ant opposition Of the above named
individuals. And the Governor ap-
points two at the suggestion of Blunt
and his friends; viz, ALT. Woodward
and G. Metoyer.
We have this to say in tile matter,
and we commend it to the considera-
ten of our people. Blunt has pro-
claimed that he would have nothing
to do with the Police Jury, that he
was pledged to reform, and all such
clap-trap mouthings, and the rery first
movement he makes is to interfere in
the appointments by the Governor,
and ratifes lis pledges of reform with
disgracefnl recommendation to ap-
point two unworthy persons. OF Aft
Woodward's honesty We have nothing
to say, but Of his being under the
control of certain individuals here we
fully know, and we make nothing in
the exchange Of him for any of the
colored men just resigned on the
score Of incompetcncy, for he is in
no way competent, being unable to
either read or writc and Is no tar pay
,er. Not possessing any of the re-
quiremeuts We demand, he himself
had the good sense to see it would be
useless to act, an1 promptly declined
to.accept the commission. Metoyer
the other appointee, is a villain Of
deepest die, and one who We think
reflects Mr.(' Blunt admirably-he
is tho individual that led the move
.ment attempting to gut a Christian
Church in this parish, and convert it
into a Radical Club Room, because
the minister of that church, saw fit to
oppose their joining secret societies
Of any Iyd, because it was in direct
opposition to tue commands Of the
church.
This is the character Of men Blunt
would take an interest in getting ap-
pointed, and none other, because fifty
persons were named to him in the
presence of the Governor, Republic
cans and Democrats, but honest and
capable, and he declined to take them.
So much for all Blunt, Myers, Boullt
or any of them may say. FIVE wish
reform we must bring it about our
selves, and two things We put our
foot fiat down on now and forever.
LIST. No more communication Off
cial or otherwise, with the Radical
leaders here in this reform movement.
I'd. The unequivocal rejection Of
Metoyer's appointment.
Reform must come from pure and
honest people, and we are but vast
ing time and rendering the honesty
of our purposes questionable, by com
mnhicating with the thieving gang
here.

THE INDIANS.

Expeditions Fitting Out to Meet the
Hostile Savages-The Sioux Reported
i'm Large Force Near the Platte River.
The news from the plains seems to indicate
that war between the whites and Indians is
inevitable, and the busy note of preparation
is heard all llong the frontier line. The
savages are represented by dispatch from
Cheyenne las red-hot-worse than in 1865"
Gov. Furnas, of Neb., is very much alarmed,
and went to Washington last week to pro-
cure arms for the citizens of the State.
He states that some II, 600 or AL 900 Sioux
are moving in southeasterly direction from
the Big Horn Mountain and Powder River
country, threatening the settlements on the
Platte. He is evidently seriously impressed
with the danger that menaces the people of
his State. The laws prohibiting such action
as he desires. Secretary Belknap was compel
led to deny his request, although he did so
very unwillingly.
An Omaha dispatch says: Arrangements
are IN progress at the Department headquar-
tiers for fitting out expeditions to the White
Stone and Red Cloud Agencies. 1t is believed
by well-informed officials here that, if the
soldiers cross the Platte, as they must neces-
arily do to reach the exposed agencies, there
will be fight. In that country there are
$4,000 Indians and about $4,000 Sioux. one in
five of whom is a fighting man. Well-inform-
ed officials are of the opinion that these In
dams can muster from 10000 to II 900 men.
Large amounts of ammunition are being ship
ped from the Forts Leavenworth and Rock
Island Arsenals to the various ports in this
Department. All post commanders have been
ordered to keep their commands in readiness
to take the field against the Indians on mo-
ment's notice..
A Cheyenne telegram says: "a war is in
evitable between here and the Sioux Indian
reservation. The country is rolling and fine
grazing. and there are not less than $4,000
head of cate there. but we would rather have
war than peace when We are robbed and muir
dered with impunity.'
LATER advices from the frontier indicate
that hostilities in the vicinity of the Indian
agencies are not so imminent as at first sup
posed. 1t is now believed that the hostile
savsges have gone to the Big Horn country.
to gain time for laying their plans for the
coming campaign. and to summon the north
ern nations to tteir assistance. The military
expedition now fitting out at Cheyenne will
march to the agencies, but it is not believed
they will encounter any opposition. 1t is the
opinion of many that the reports of depreda-
tions from the frontier have been grossly ex-
aggerated, that there will be no Indian war,
but that the Commissioners will settle the
matter by another treaty.

the war RACES at red-hot heat, many of the
saloon-keepers and druggists yielding without
Offering opposition.
At Manchester Iowa, the women last week
commenced praying and singing raid on the
saloons. The fever is breaking out in other
points in the State.
The temperance advocates in st. Louis are
preparing for a revival in that city ON the Ohio
plan.
Lincoln, the capital of the State. the women
are thoroughly organized, and few days ago
commenced work IN earnest, visiting saloons.
and praying for the rum-sellers to abandon
their iniquitous trade.
The fever is extending to the large cities.
In Chicago the Temperance people are talking
of organizing. In Indianapolis and Jersey
City the ladies have banded together, and are
visiting the large saloons, armed with prayer
and hymn-books.
The crusade has reached Rock Island and
Yorkville, Ill. In the former place forty-eight
saloon men have been indicted by the grand
jury for violations of the State law. If the
prosecution of these men fails to close the
rum mills, it is intimated that the women will
organize themselves into proper bands, and
will not rest till the cohorts of King Alcohol
have been routed. In Oswego, Kendall
county, the ladies have organized, and are
holding prayer-meetings in such saloons as
will admit them.
men are organizing for raid ON the gin mills.
The crusade has spread to Minnesota and
the temperance advocates of st. Paul. Mime
apolis and other towns are organizing for the
work.
Five saloon-keepers in Springfield. Ohio,
have been fined in sums of $50 to $3.50 each
for violation of the Adair liquor law.

Odd Phrases.
r.
Home.

The origin of the term su6-rosa, or
" under the rose," is said to be the fol-
lowing: Cupid gave a rose to Hippo
crates, the God of Silence, and from
this legend arose the practice of sus-
pending rose from the ceiling over
the table while eating, when it was in
tended that the conversation must be
kept secret. The explanation of the
origin of "By hook or by Crook is
that in the old time, persons entitled
to get firewood in the Kings forest,
were limited to such dead branches as
they could tear down with ga hook or q
crook, without hurt to his Majesty's
tree" In spite of his teeth origi-
mated thus: King John of England
once demanded of Jew the sum of ten
thousand marks, and on being refused,
ordered that the Israelite should have
one of his teeth drawn every day until
he gave his consent. The Jew submit
ted to the loss of seven, and then paid
the required sum, and hence the ex-
preston, :" in spite of your teeth"

Healing Lung Diseases.

We find the following reported, and
give it for what it may be worth. So
many cures for consumption have been
advertised that it is well to be skepti-
cal "Dr. William Kock, of Berlin,
well known to specialists from his inves-
LEGATIONS in the domain of surgery, and
from his treatise on gunshot fractures.
has discovered new method of treat
ment for consumption. It consists in
healing up the affected portions of the
lungs by injections of iodine, so as to.
check the process of fostering, which is
the origin of the disease. The treat
ment has been tested in the great hos
pitfalls of Berlin within a short time.
among others at the Royal Charity, in
the presence of the most eminent sur
geons. All the reports of the cases in
which this treatment has been admins
tered are favorable, and hold out a
promise of a complete cure. For years
DR.. Kock has been trying the expert
ment with animals, having tested it with
more than three hundred, at vast out
lay of time and money"

Ohio Men at the Head Of the Nation.

Ohio certainly has no reason to COM
plain of her representation in the high
places of the nation. President Grant
was born and lived most of his life,
prior to the war, in Ohio. The General
of the army, Sherman, is an Ohio man,
and SO is Sheridan, the Lieutenant Gen.
eral. Secretary Delano is citizen of
Ohio, so is Justice Swayne, of the Su-
preme Court, and so is Mr.. Schenck,
our Minister to England. The late
Chief Justice Chase was from Ohio, and
now the new incumbent, Chief Justice
Waite, is taken from the same State.
Thus Ohio men stand at the head of the
civil, the military, the judicial, and Dip
lomatic departments of the Govern
ment. Since the organization of the
Government, we doubt whether there
has been time when men from any one
State filled so many of the highest na-
tional positions. And there are still
several men in Ohio who would accept
office under the national Government
if pressed to do so.-Hearth and
Home.

Cure for Cancers.

A writer in ColemGn's Rural World
gives the following recipe for the cure.
of cancers
Take chloride Of zinc, blood root pull
verified, and wheat -four, equal parts or
quantities, worked into paste, and ap-
piled until the mass comes out. First,
spread a common sticking plaster much
larger than the cancer, cutting a cir
cular piece from the center of it little.
larger than the cancer, applying it,
which exposes narrow rim of healthy
skin; then apply the cancer plaster.
and keep it on twenty-four hours. On
removing it the cancer will be burned
into, and appears the color of an old
shoe sole, and the rim outside will APP
pear white and parboiled, as if burned
by steam. Dress with slippery-elm
poultice until suppuration takes place,
then heal with common salve. I've,
known the above to cure.

The Praying Hosts Rapidly Gaining
Ground I'm Ohio and Elsewhere-The
Crusade Spreading to Other States.
The crusade against the rum-mills in Ohio
and other parts of the West is spreading like
the Epizootic. The war has broken out in
Columbus, the capital of Ohio. A meeting,
attended by over three thousand men and
women was held in the City Hall. few even
ings ago, and arrangements made for stimuli
taneous assault upon the strongholds of the
liquor-dealers. At Ripley, the crusaders are
still moving On the enemy's works. At last
accounts only one saloon held out, and the
brave women had concentrated all their
efforts upon it, with encouraging hopes
of success. Many of the saloon
keepers who have been prayed out of
their business are leaving for Ger
many. At Jacksonville a movement
has been commenced against the gin-mills,
$40, 600 having been subscribed TO assist the
ladies' At Springfield, the women have de-
veloped q new plan of campaign. few of
the principal sample-rooms are designated,
and each is visited oy four committees. sing
ing and praying in quick succession Dinner
is cooked and eaten by the whole corps at one
of the churches, SO no time is lost. The
whisky ring has met, and resolved not to adj
NIT committees to the saloons any more
The saloon-keepers have raised fund
to carry on defensive war. They are bad
cot. but the women do not DESPAIR of ultimate
success. In Jeffersonville, Ind, the crusade
has begun in earnest and threatens to spread
across the Ohio river TO Louisville. Praying
and singing bands are holding forth IN
churches and saloons every day. Illinois, too,
has beer Invaded by the contagion. AT Dam
vile, Lexington, and other towns, the friends
of the Temperance cause are preparing for an
onslaught upon the common enemy. In Mil
waukee, and other points in Wisconsin, the
report comes that the anti-rum hoets are
marshaling for the fray.
The women of Hamilton, Ohio, are thor
oughly organized for raid on the numerous
saloons of that city. At Morrow. saloon
keeper has procured an injunction against
Mrs. Grimes and 159 other ladies, who, he al
leges, have damaged him to the extent of
$1,000. The crusade has struck McConnells-

The Wind Cutting Capers.

They have queer atmospheric pheno-
mena out in Colorado. Not long ago a
man was walking down Virginia Canon,
when he was surprised by a sudden
roaring sound, not unlike that made by
train of cars passing through tun-
mel. Stopping moment to listen, 81
whirlwind, apparently not more than a
yard in diameter, and travelling no
faster than spirited walk, picked him
up, as it were, and waltzed off down the
road with him. Its vertical force was
sufficient to invert the tails of his coat
above his head. Notwithstanding the
pockets were loaded with specimens of
silver ore, and at the same time he was
carried along for a hundred feet or
more, like feather, while under him
was a noise like that of an empty cart.

SHOCKING CASUALTY.
Twenty Werkmen Buried Beneath a
Falling Wali-Eight of the Number
Killed, and Eleven Badly Injured.

Killed, and Eleven Badly Injured.
Philadelphia has just been the scene of a
terrible and shocking disaster, resulting in the
death of eight human beings, and the maim-
ing of some dozen more. The lager-beer
brewery of Henry Muller, on Thirty-first and
Jefferson streets, fell with a tremendous
crash the other day, burying in it's ruins over
forty workmen. The fall Of the building was
caused by the immense weight of the ice
which had been packed in large quantities in
the upper stories. The walls bulged. and the
whole building, large brick structure, tum-
bled to the earth with tremendous crash.
The falling ice, ETC., crushed In the large
mash-tubs. containing above 1000 barrels of
beer which poured with great rapidity into
the cellar, almost drowning those who were
attempting to escape. Around the ruins were
gathered thousands of excited people, many
of whom were women who ran hither and
thither, wringing their hands and screaming
in the excess of their grief. The presence of
entire families, fearful of the safety Of their
bread-earner, and rending the air with their
cries of distress, added much to the general
confusion. When the walls gave way and the
huge structure came down upon the unfortu-
nate men, casting them with the ice, bricks.
and debris, down through the floors in the
sub-cellar beneath, their shrieks and means
were something appalling. A number were
killed outright, and others escaped death by
scarcely a hairs breadth. The living were SO
tightly wedged in between blocks of ice and
beams as to be unable to extricate themselves,
and by their smothered cries the operations of
those who came to their rescue were guided.
Some of the unfortunates waited patiently the
efforts of their rescuers, while others groaned
terribly calling on death to release them
from their sufferings. In all eight men were
killed. and eleven seriously injured.
LATER.-Later accounts from the disaster
are to the effect that twelve dead bodies have
been taken from the ruins that six others are
seriously and eighteen slightly wounded.

THE Athenians who put boy to death
for killing bird, because the act indi-
Gated cruel disposition, would have
dealt more harshly with Patrick
Naughton than did the Cincinnati Police
Court, which sentenced him to six
months imprisonment for burning a
dog. Naughton, an engineer on the
Little Miami Railroad, was standing
idly By his engine fire when the unof-
Tending brute was thrown up to him by
somebody. Holding the dog in one
hand, he opened the door of the furnace
with the other, and tossed the animal
into the flames. Then ne closed the
door. His excuse was that he was alb
sent-minded on account of the strike.
