How to Kill Fleas.

"A notable protector became notable
by one project only, which was a GER
tain specific for the killing of fieas; and
it was in form Of q powder, and sold in
papers, with plain directions for use, as
followeth The flea was to be held, con-
veniently, between the fore-finger and
thumb Of the left hand and to the end
of the trunk, or proboscis, which pro-
trudeth in the flea somewhat as the
elephants doth, very small quantity
Of the powder was to be put from be
tween the thumb and finger of the right
hand. And the inventor undertook,
that if any flea to whom his powder
was so administered should prove to
have afterward bitten a purchaser who
used it, then that such purchaser should
have another paper of the said powder
gratis. And it CHANGED that the first
paper thereof was bought, idly as it
were, by an old woman and she, with
out meaning to injure the inventor or
his remedy, but Of her mere harmless
ness, did, innocently as it were, ask him
whether, when she had caught the flea,
and after she had got it as before de-
scribed, if she should crack it upon her
nail, it wonld not be as we'll. Where
upon the ingenious protector was 50
dumbfounded by the question, that,not
knowing what to answer on the sudden.
he asked, with truth, to this effect, that.
without doubt, her way would do, too.

A Visit to Mrs. WaIWOrth.

The Saratoga correspondent of the
Louisville Courier-Journal gives the
following pathetic account of the suf-
rerings of the mother of Frank Wal
worth ''When l first arrived here /
called upon Mrs. Walworth, but did
not see her then, as it was only few
days after the funeral of her mother.
l have seen her since. She told me
that her mother never recovered from
the shock she sustained after
seeing Frank last Christmas. Mrs.
Walworth looks as though she had SUI
fael until there was nothing more left
in the cup of sorrow. Her eyes look
scorched; the burrows upon her brow
are Like enlarged veins. but she is quiet,
patient and above fretting. Once a
month she visits Frank at Auburn, and
said while she and Frank were dis
tressed when he was moved from Sing
Sing to Auburn. that they were soon
reconciled. and find that the officials
connected with the latter prison are
superior men to those at Sing-Sing.
She told me thai Frank was made very
comfortable in the hospital, and she
had no complaint against any
one. have seen now what
in books are called martyrs.
When in the future, this great tragedy
is mentioned, those who have seen this
heroic woman will remember the sword
that pierced her soul even through the
love she bore her son. Her heart will
not break while Frank lives, and should
he become an imbecile through the un-
necessary harshness and injustice with
which he has been treated. that mother
will watch and tend him so lovingly
that he will never know all the trouble
and anguish she suffers. May every
man who, through the medium of the
press, dares to intrude upon the sacred
grief Of these two, be called upon to en-
dure just one of the thousand pangs
they have suffered for years. The press
leaves no loophole of escape for the
wife whose husband is fiend. If she
silently suffers Until she is murdered,
or some Of her relatives save her from
this fate by numbering her prosecutor,
she is lectured as to how she might
have ayerted the calamity. If she does
appeal to the law, and her wounds are
exposed to the curious. unsympathizing
world, she is informed that by this
course she has lost all claim upon the
consideration and compassion of those
who read of her trials, and she is be-
rated for lifting the veil and exposing
the norrid deformity of him who should
have been her lord and prophet.
''Some may say am bitter. If am
it is because have read and seen some
thing Of these Wretched, wretched
! cases."

POLITICAL MOVEMENTS.
Ohio Democrats.

The Democratic State Convention of
Ohio nominated the following ticket:
For Secretary of State, VIM. Bell Of
Licking.
For School Commissioner, c. S. Smart
Of Pickaway. t1a
For Judge Of the Supreme Court, w.
}. Gilmore Of Preble.
For Clerk of the Supreme Court, A.
Green Of Cuyohaga.
For member Of the Board Of Public
Works, Martin Schiller of Ross.
THE PLATFORM.
1t declares adherence to the
ancient Democratic principles of
securing equal rights and exact justice
to- all men. and ito all the. states and
communities of the American. people
Of maintaining the independence of the
coordinate departments Of the federal
government, the legislative, the execu.
tive and the judicial, condemning all
encroachments Of either upon the func-
lions. Of. the others; and resisting every
attemptsto usurp any of the powers re-
served .kys the constitution to the States
respectively, and to the people thereof
Upon the currency question il is de-
clared that the volume of currency
should be regulated by the necessities
Of business and all laws interfering with
this, its natural, regulation are vicious
in principle and detrimental in effect.
Sound policy and justice require that
not less than half the customs dues
should be payable in greenbacks. Be-
lieving that better system of supply
ing sound currency can be devised, it is
advised that national bank circulation
be withdrawn and its place supplied
with government legal tenders.
1t is reiterated that the $50 bonds
were payable in legal tenders
pledging the faith Of the nation to pay
them in coin, is declared to have been
an unnecessary and wicked sacrifice
OF the interests of taxpayers for the
benefit of untaxed bondholders. The
exemption of public bonds from taxa
| ton is pronounced unwise and unjust.
The present tariff laws are denounced
and revenue tariff favored.
An exercise Of all constitutional
powers is demanded to remedy the ex-
listing evils arising from combinations
of transportation companies to increase
the cost of transportation beyond q
fair remuneration Of carriers.
Land grants are opposed; the home
stead law approved; the attempted
press gag law Of Congress is
denounced; equality in the law is
commended, but the proposed civil
rights bill denounced and declared to
be in conflict with constitutional law
of the State providing for separate
schools for whites and blacks; and a
constitutional amendment esta bllshing
the one term principle is favored. An
amendment Of the State constitution is
favored which would authorize the pas
sage Of license laws.
Finally the Republican party is de-
nounced for its extravagant and defec-
tive financial administration, for it's OPP
preston Of the South, and for maintain
ing in office men who are incompetent
and corrupt.

Correspondence Chicago Inter- ocean,
CUSTER BLACK HILLS EXPEDITION,
In CAMP AT CUsTER's PARK,
DAKOTA TERRITORY, Aug. I, 1874 }
They call it a ten dollar diggin S, and
all the camp is aglow with the gold
fever. In previous dispatches and let
tiers have told of the discovery, but
the place then hadn't reached the dig
nified name Of a ''diggin's," and only a
few little yellow particles had been
washed out of painful of sand. This
is the first opportunity our miners
have had to make really fair test of
the "color," and it has yielded them
abundantly. They scraped little
along the bed of brook till they got
the color, then with spade and pick be-
gan to dig beside it a hole about as
long and wide and deep as human
grave. From the grass roots down it
was ''pay dirt" and after dozen pans
or more had been washed out, the two
persevering men who will be the
pioneers Of new golden State came
into camp with a little yellow dust
wrapped carefully up in the leaf of an
old account book 1t was examined
with the microscope; was tried with
all the tests that the imaginations of
fifteen hundred excited campaigners
could suggest, and it stood every one.
1t was washed with acid, mixed with
mercury. cut, chewed and tasted, till
everybody was convinced and went to
bad dreaming Of the wealth Of Cresus.
At day-break there was crowd around
the ''diggings,'' with every conceivable
accoutrement. Shoyels and spades,
picks, axes, tent-pins, pot-hooks, bowie
knives, mess-pans, kettles, plates, plat
tiers, tin cups, and everything within
reach that could either lift dirt or hold
it was put into service by
THE woRsHIPERs OF THAT con. GOLD.
And those were few who didn't get a
''showing''-a few yellow particles
clinging to globule Of mercury that
rolled indif'erently in and out Of the
sand. Officers and privates, mule
whackers and SCIENTISTS; all met on a
common level, and the great equalizer
was that Insignificant yellow dust.
The most excited contestant in this
chase after fortune was ''Aunt Sally -
the suffer- colored cook, huge noun
tain Of dusky flesh, and 'the only
white woman that ever saw the Black
Hills" as she frequently says. She is
an old frontiersman. as it were, having
been up and down the Missouri ever
since its muddy water was broken BY a
paddle wheel. and having accumulated
quite q little property. had settled down

THE PLATFORM.
Declares in favor of the resumption
of gold and silver as the basis OF cur
rency; the resumption of specie pay
ments as soon as possible without disas-
ter to the business interests of the
country, by steadily opposing imitation,
and by the payment Of the national in
debtedness in the money of the civil
lied world.
Second. Individual liberty and oppo.
sition to sumptuary laws.
Third. Rigid restriction Of the gov
eminent, both State and National, to
the legitimate domain of political power,
by excluding therefrom all executive
and legislative intermeddling with the
affairs of society, whereby monopolics
are fostered, privileged classes aggrand-
ICED and individual freedom unnecessa-
rily and oppressively restrained.
Fourth. The right and duty Of the
state to protect Its citizens from extOr-
ton and unjust indiscrimination by
chartered monopolies.
A substitute for the first plank, pro-
posed by seven members of the COM
mittee was rejected-24l 20 311. 1t
favored the restoration Of gold and sill
yer as basis of the currency, and the
resumption OF specie payments at the
earliest moment practicable, without
any injury to the business interests of
the country.
Resolutions were also adopted de-
nouncing the present system of pension
agencies, and asking an increase of pen
sions so that no ex-soldler should be
compelled to seek refuge in soldiers
home.
