The State of Indiana was shamefully
gerrymandered by the Radicals when the
Congressional districts were last laid off
Had this not been the case Indiana would
have sent a full Democratic delegation
to Congress and elected a Democratic
Legislature. So much for a dirty JOB.

AdnlteratIOn OF Lard.

A writer in the Pharmaceutical Journal
says that he lately obtained quantity OF
lard from respectable pork dealer. 1t
was beautifully white indeed, he had
never seen an article that looked better
His first trial of it was in preparing oint-
ment of nitrate of mercury. The color,
when the mercurial solution was added,
was the reverse of citrine indeed, decid-
edly saturnine, developing in short time
TO full slate color Surprised at this un-
precedented result, the usual precautions
having been taken as to temperature, &C.,
the lard was suspected, and on examination
was found to contain large portion of
lime. Some time after being in conversa-
ton with the lard renderer, hint was
dropped as to the relation of lime to color
when the information was confidentially
impaired that common practice among
lard dealers was to mix from two to five
per cent. of milk of lime with the melted
lard A saponaceous compound is formed,
which is not only pearly white, but will al
low the stirring in, during cooling, of
twenty-five per cent. of water So much
for appearances.

ButtermIlk a Proctor Of Long Life.

A French savant recently read paper
before the French Academy, in which he
adverted to the use ofIbuttermilk as pro-
moter of longevity. He said: Life exists
only in combustion, but the combustion
which occurs in our bodies, like that which
takes place in our chimneys, leaves a de-
tritus which is fatal to life. To remove
this, we would administer Tactic acid with
ordinary food. This acid is known to pos.
sess the power of removing or destroying
the inerustations which form ON the arter-
les, cartilages, and valves of the heart. AS
buttermilk abounds in this acid, and is,
moreover, an agreeable kind of food, its
habitual use, it is urged, will free the svs.
tenn from these causes, which inevitable
cause death between the seventy-fifth and
hundredth year.

Greasine Buggles and Wagons.

Greasing buggies and wagons is of more
Importance than some imagine. Many a
wheel is ruined by oiling too plentifully.-
A well made wheel will endure constant
wear from ten to twenty years, if care is
taken to use the right kind and proper
amount of oil but if this matter is not at
tended to, the wheel will be used up in five
or six years, or it may be sooner. Lard
should never be used on wagon, for it
will penetrate the hub, and work its way
around the tendons of the spokes and spoil
the wheel. Castor oil is good material
for use on an iron axle just oil enough
should be applied to spindle to give it q
light coating; this is better than more, for
the surplus put on will work out at the
ends, and be forced by the shoulders and
nut into the hub around the outside of the
boxes. To oil the axletree, first wipe the
spindle clean with cloth wet with tur-
pentine, if it won't wipe without it. On
buggy or carriage, wipe and clean off the
back and ends of the hubs, and then ap-
ply very small quantity of castor oil, or
more especially prepared lubricator near
the shoulders point.

Relieving Cattle Fed too much Grain


A correspondent of the Farmers linton
says have treated good many animals
for over eating, and / always give them
about quart or three pints of melted lard /;
it can easily be given them but using a
long-necked, stout glass bottle. Give no
water at ali for the first eight or ten hours
and then sparingly. If treated as above no
harm will result from the worst cases of
over-eating. Let the animal have moder-
ate exercise, but not enough to get sweaty.
t3- Q. M. Wyvell, of Portville, N. Y,
says that "cribbing" is not habit, and
that it can be cured without resort to the
celebrated neck strap. Let any one sufii-
GENTLY interested take the worst old crib
Der he can find, examine his mouth, and
ascertain whether the pressure is made
with the upper nippers, or both provide
himself with the necessary straps to lay
him down, secure him in an easy position,
take a small tooth-saw and open carefully
between the affected teeth well down to the
gums with small sharp knife loosen the
gums around the teeth, both inside and out;
and he has the poor fellow who has suf-
fered for years, cured Of his habit.

Raising Cabbage without TransplantiDr

A correspondent of the Western Rural
says have raised mine in this manner
Tor three years. / plant two Or three seeds
in each hill, about the usual time in setting
out cabbage. The weather and ground is
then warm and then they come qniclxly.-
When large enough to transplant, Iremove
all but one, transplanting into such hills as
have been destroyed by cut worms. 1 cul-
tivate and hoe twice thoroughly, and then
keep the hills clean and mellow. They
should be hoed every few days during the
season of tending the different vegetables

REASONS WHY THEY ONLY SHOULD BI


Their Reputation is Established. - Thousands
of testimonials have been received, showing
that these Powders have performed miracles in
curing cases of long standing, many of them
considered hopeless.
There is no Risk in Taking Them. - They
contain nothing injurious, and, therefore, cause
none of those lingering diseases so often the re-
suit of the many nostrums of the day. Physl-
clans recommend them as far superior to Qui-
nine, rany other known remedy, for they leave
the system in healthy state, and the patient
beyond the probability of a relapse
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITs. - The
genuine are put up in square tin boxes, with
"Thompson's Fever and Ague Powders''
stamped on the lid, and the signature of
Thompson g. Crawford on the wrapper.-
No others can possibly be genuine.

of Denver, with the st. Louis & South
Eastern Railway, the st. Louis, Kansas
CITY & Northern Railway, and the Kan
sas Pacific Railway, to take the party at
a little over half the usual rates, TO go
and return within ninety days. These
are good roads and every accOmmoda-
ton viii be extended by them to make
the trip a pleasant one to the excursion
lists. After arriving at Denver arrange
ments have been made 10 take the party
to the mountains, the mining districts,
the watering places and all the princi-
nal objects of interest in Colorado.
As this will be a season OF the year
when recreation is not only pleasant but
even necessary, the trip VIII offer an
oDportunity that. Is rarely met with,
both for pleasure and profit. The ticket
agents viii be here prior to that time 10

For the CITIZEN.

Mr.. EDTToR:-In your last paper
there was very sensible article in re-
gard to conventions in which the writer
reminded us forcibly of the days of
misrule when radicalism held sway in
Tennessee as it does now in Louisiana,
Askansas and other Southern States. It
does seem that the mere reminding us
of those facts, and the calling our at
tentiOn to those States and their present
deplorable condition, ought to be suf-
ficient to cause US to march together in
solid column to protect our interests
from the grasp of a party who have
stolen away not only the liberties, but
the property of the people of our sister
States, and who have plundered and
robbed in every conceivable way, until
they are now almost on the very verge
of ruin. Surely no good man in our
county or in our State would have Ten
nessee brought into the condition of
those States.
Then how shall we avoid that evil
have never been in favor of conventions
if we could avoid it in justice to our
selves as a people. But what else is
suggested by those who are opposed to
conventions? We answer nothing what
ever. No other means has been suggest
ed by which the party can be held to-
gether that is opposed to radical rule,
and we cannot afford to have radical
rule. If we do not have conventions
and nominate our candidates, and vote
for them when nominated, it just
amounts to surrendering half and per-
haps more than half the offices in our
State into the hands of the few radicals
in the country. Shall we DO that in the
face of what has been the history of
that party in our own State? Shall we
do it in the face of the history in South
Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana, Missis-
sippi, Arkansaw and Florida, whose
people are oppressed with burdens al
most too heavy to be borne, on account
of the pillage and plumber with which
those States have been cursed If we
do we are not worthy of liberty, and
are not fit to govern ourselves.
So hope our people will foregO their
little preferences and partialties for
any particular candidates, and will take
an interest in ascertaining the voice of
the people in the different civil districts
as to who is the choice for the different
offices, and that they viii send delegates
to the convention who aoiU cypress the
UOice of the districts they represent. If
so, then no one will have room to COM
plain, and no one can say that the con-
ventiOn was packed. If conventions
are properly conducted as they can be,
they will express the wish of the peo-
pie, and it is the duty of the people to
see that they do. A VOTER.

How true it is that a little act Of
kindness will often have rich reward
Many years ago a merchant took into
his house a poor, friendless, orphan boy,
and clothed and fed and educated him.
The boy grew to manhood, and the mer-
chant obtained him position in which
he rapidly rose to afiiuence. Years
afterward the merchant failed and lost
all he had. His family died, and he
was reduced absolutely to beggary.
One night, while soliciting aims from
door to door, he reached, without know
ing il, the house of the boy whom he
had befriended. Now marx the conse-
ouenee Of the generous act done by this
man in his days Of prosperity. That
boy, as he Eazed on his beneiaetor and
saw the degradation to which the once
rich and happy man was reduced,
remembered ali the kindness received in
his house, and all the love and sympathy
bestowed upon the friendless orphan,
and without a moments hesitation paid
a colored person seyenty-fiye cents 70
wheel the old man out to the Aims
house in push-cart!
