From he Atchison Champion. !

The O.ka'oosa Independens says it is
charged that Leavenworth county will vote
almost solidly for Marc Parro,t, because he
hspp.us TO live there. We have heard this
ststsment made ~ others, and there seems
to Be come reason for believing it. Many Of
the people of Leavenvorth have got it into
their heads tina, Congressman is necf sssry
for the prosperity Of their town. D.acr n
Houston stated, af,er his defeat, that his
principal reason fer de iring to 90 to Coz
gress was that he wished t, promote the inter-
ests Of Leavenwo1th. And II tIi.is Pnro;,'s

in other parts Of the district to know il.
Marcus vas always . very exclusive person,
having higt toned ideas about his own i'm
portsnce, and thorough oootemp. for the
people generally. When he was in
Congrers he paid mt the leaft at

With the masses end no more interest il

We are inclined TO believe, therefore
that what the Independent charges is baset

take pains to see that he Is not elected.
The Champion is very much mistaken il
supposins ,ha. the people OF this county
will vote for any man became he happen,
to live ke:e. The fact that our people sen
twelve delegates u the convention for Phil

surprising still, the man who makes up the

Abbott, candidate fer Secretary Of State on
the reform ticket, and during the war .
prominent mem.er Of the Sons Of Liberty
in Indian, addressed the meeting. The
speech was mas of misrepresentation and
an insult to his audience. His intense
hatred to the Republican party arises from
the fact that he was prevented during he
war from killing sick and wounded soldiers

SWING.

Prof. Swing, in his sermon Of last Sunday,
which We find reported in full in the Chica-
go Tribune, treated Of Prof. Tyndall's recent
address The argument Of Prof. Swing is,
that the "theory Of material potency" does
not affect the fact of a soul, but only its Or
igin; that Tyndall's materialism does not
touch a single fact of the whole spirit world,
but is an inquiry how any fact ever came.

THE DUKES STRATAGElH.
A MILANEsE TALE.


The Duke of Milan-Gaeazzo named
supremely loved Correggia, widely famed
For every charm a maiden might possess;
And In her heart. she loved the Duke no less;
Though EACH awhile $50 cburlish Fate designed
To mar their bliss) knew not the others mind,
Rut hoped and feared in silence; till, at last
When many moon of trembling doubt was passed,
And Gossip vainly had essayed 10 seek
The cause of Galeazzos pallid cheek
And moody air---some ladies of the Court
Addressed him boldly thus las half in sport,
And half in earnest: -''Sire! we all can see
Yonr Highness il III love land now, that we
Nav pay our loyal service where the same
Il itstly due, we fam would know the name
0f hey1the happy lady Of your choicel"
Surprised abashed, the Duke, with faltering voice,
In civil sort such merry answers made
AS best might serve the question to eyade
In vain az one by one their weapons fail,
With fresh artillery they the Duke assai
Until, at length Ills clear the man must yield,
Nv clamor overpowered-or fly the feldl
"A truce-a truce - he cried, for mercy's sakef ~
Now-please you all! Ia banquet will make,
Such az will suit so fair company;
Come one and all, and see what you shall see.
To aid-perchance to end-your merry quest"
And all said i'--Correggia with the rest.
The banquet over, GaleaZzo set
Upon the board curious cabinet
In which upon panel, was portrayed,
In happiest art the picture Of maid;
Isome clever painters fancy.) There !" said he,
"All We who choose, my lady-lOye may see!"
Now. when the fair Correggia, lingering last
For fearfuIness observed that all who passed
The pictured girl, in silence turned away
As from face unknown,-in deep dismay
She took her turn to gaze; when, God Of Grace!
She saw painted image; but the face
Which her own features, radlantly fair,
Reflected, bushing. IN mirror there!
And so il was the two true loves were known;
And so il came TO pass that not alone
The happy Gaeazzo filed the Ducal throne!

How to Make a Mustard Plaster
How many people are there who really
know how to make mustard plaster?
Not one in hundred, and yet physicians
prescribe their application, never telling
anybody how to make them, for the sim
pie reason that the doctors themselves do
not know as a rule. The ordinary way is
TO mix the mustard with water, tempering
1t with little flour, but such plaster as
that makes is simply abominable. Before
it has half done its work it begins 10 bis
ter the patient, and leaves him finally
with painful, flayed spot, after having
produced far less effect in a beneficial
way than was intended. Now a mustard
plaster should never make a blister at all.
When you make mustard plaster, then,
use no water whatever, but mix the mus.
tard with the white of an egg, and the re-
suit will be plaster which will draw"
perfectly, but will not produce blister
even upon the skin of an infant, no mat
ter how long it is allowed to remain upon
the part
