Effect Of Salt on the Blood

DIR ST. vens, a Scotch Pity stefan
ard surgeon, saw a butcher Kill "a
pig. He observed that he stirred

a handful OF common salt TO il,

his curiosity. The butcher could
give no explanation OF tie pI.enoIr-
enon, except That it kept II trC III
jeilying and spelling.
The DIR. seized a vessel, canght
some blood, and made several ex-
periments by putting salt in it,
and found that the blacklist blood
was instantly changed to a bright
vermillion by salt. OH said he,
there is fact which may lead to
a practical rule. lie had OhServ.
ed in cases Of yellow fever in the
army, that the blood drawn was
very black and fluid, and Oh ad-
ding saltit became vermilIion, and
retained its freshness; whereas
putridity of the blood is one of the
characteristics of the yellow lever.
he therefore abandoned the usual
mode of treating it, and gave his
patientsa mixture OF various salts,
and in a very short time reduced
the mortality OF fever in the West
Indies from one III five tu one IN

Leading a Cow.

Every woman will~tcll you
that a man can be led easier by
putting an arm around the
neck than by pulling his h If,
but the writer never knew un-
til recently that the reason you
cannot lead COW behind a
wagon is because She objects 10
having her horns pulled. The
other day a red-shirted emf
grant passed through on his
way to Carroll county. His
family and household posses
sions were in a covered wagon,
10 the end Of which was fast
ened a COW. Behind, with Il
sharp stick, walked the emf
grant, giving her smart welt
occasionally when she hung
back. Every now and then she
would brace herself and stop
The team. and then, with unclclI-
cal language, he would beseech
her to go Oh, marking each iorci-
bic period with prod OF the
sharp stick.
The poor controlled her eyes
and rolled her tongue The
poor emigrant, too, Wds dusty
and tired, but his voice and stick
didn't fail him. She had sud-
denly halted the procession in
front Of the post-ollicc. End

his earnest entreaties, when a
man called ont 10 Red Shirt that
he Northumberland COWS worth

"Well, what are you going
10 do about it?" said Red Shirt.
"Why, just take the rope off
her hons and put it around her
neck, and she'll lead as quiet as
a lamb. If She don't IN follow
her mile myself"
The rope was changed TO her
neck, and the team stated
The cow gave a look OF sur
prise, and walked along.
We'll, that beats al, said r. d

The procession moved on to-

Small Hogs.

Some sensible feeder Of swine
writes: There is not one single
advantage to be claimed in large
hogs. There never was a mon
ster hog which did not make
the man who raised him pay for
every pound he weighed. They
They furnish no meat gratis, but
charge full price for every atom
Of their carcass. When siaugh-
tered it takes long time TO
get one cool to the marrow bone,
and when the hams are put in
salt, it is troublesome to finish
them to the centre. -Four hun
dred pounds live weight is as
large as a hog should be, in or
der to make good bacon. Over
this size, there is a loss some
where-either the feeder, the
butcher or consumer is beaten,
and as a general thing, every
one who has anything to do
with the big hog, will find, if
he observes closely, that they
are not so profitable as The
smooth, little hog Of only three
hundred and fiftypounds weight.
Small head, with little, upright
ears, and legs and feet delicate
TO perfection, are marks which
indicate the greatest amount Of
flesh for any given amount of
food consumed, and more rapid
ly draw the attention Of the
butcher.

Green Tomato Pickles.

To every gallon OF sliced tona-
toes add two tablespoons of salt,
and let it stand over night. Do
not pour off the liquor, but add
two-thirds of a pound Of sugar, one
pint grated horse-radish, two Ia
blespoons of mustard. Put a
weight on top and set near the
fire in a warm place until they
become sour. when they should be
kept cool. The juice of the toma-

No scum rises on the top, and

BROwNLOw's RECLAMATION.


Senator William G. Brownlow, Of
Tennessee, is evidently coming around
to the frame of mind in which he WIS
before the war, when he lectured in the
Northern States on the divine eharac-
ter of slavery. His declaration against
the civil rights bill is virtually a re-
cantation of his belief in the Republi-
can party. He sees, no doubt, that he
has gone far enough in his acceptance
of the extreme views of the Republi-
cans. The issue he makes is not a
practical one. No civil rights biz can
secure the co-education of the races in
any State, unless the traces" them
selves prefer to study their grammars
together. The whole issueis thorough
ly sentimental one. 1t is a pretext,
not a serious principle of political
divergence. Heretofore the Radical
Senators from the South have aban-
dOned everything to please the negro.
Now they find that there is another in
fuence to be concihated. Mr.. Brown
low, in taking this step, only justifes
our estimate of him as amanof unusual
shrewdness, who knew when to support
slavery and when to oppose it; who
knows when the negro influence is USE
full and when it ceases to have any
value. His declaration of opinions is
one Of the most significant events in the
now ripening canvass for the Pres
idency.

DISEASE AND REMEDY.

For the following good, hard sense
which every chronic grumbler IN tn,
South ought to apply to his own case
we draw upon the financial article o.
Mondays NeD York Tribune:
The complaint Of dizziness and mac
tivity in business enterprises has be
come web nigh universal, and many
people who do not look very far below
the surface of things are quite sure
that the whole country is very rapidly
"going to the bad financially and 9TH
erwise. But while the outlook is very
far from Jolly" there is still a
hopeful view of it that may be
taken, which arises from the fact
that thoughtful people have been look
ing after the causes which have pro-
duced the present prostration, and
which they find to have been the in
vestment of vast amounts of money
and labor in railroad and other enter
prises in advance Of the requirements
of the country; in overtrading; in all
sorts of wild schemes of speculation,
fostered by an inflated, irredeenlable
currency; IN the habits OF the people of
living more extensively than In former
times, habits which they formed during
the prosperous" times of the war. and
for a short time thereafter, and which
they find it difficult, or atleast unpleas-
ant. to drop. and in the fact that very
much too large a proportion OF our
people are engaged In exchanges, that
Is in buying and selling, or living by
their wits instead of turning their
talents and muscles to productive pur-
suits. Well, having discovered the
seat and cause of the disease, the next
thing is to find a remedy. Many of
our doctors of finance insist upon ad-
1ninistering an inordinate dose of infia-
ton to cure a patient nearly at the
point of death from having taken al
ready too much of that same medicine.
The hopeful view of the case arises
from the fact that the counsel public
opinion) called to deliberate upon
it are inclined to reject the pre-
scription. They recommend healthy
exercise In the open fields
and the workshop, in place of the pa
DER panacea. People must try to live
within their incomes; indeed, try to
earn a little more than they spend, and
To insure financial health to the cOun-
try It must be a real, not fictitious
earning. Actual productions, which
are the result of labor, only count as
wealth In making up the aggregate
statement. The dullest intellect can
understand that the country is no
richer because Jay Gould buys lO,OOO
shares Of North West Common at 40
one day. and sells it for 45 tie next, al
tbougb the transaction may improve
his Individual exchequer to the amount
of $4,000.
Our people are pretty heavily IN
debt Still, the Southern country is a
pretty large one, having much produc-
tive land, besides much more that can
no made productive by labor. Ii we
will make up our minds to earn every
vear 4 little more than We spend as we
rssd 10 do in the good old days when
dollars were real dollars, we will work
ont Of debt some time, without having
70 disgrace ourselves and our posterl'y
by reputation.

Disc.

DtSC.
Washington Special (day ls) to the St. Louis
Globe
Col. Forney has notable leader in
to-day's Press, which is claimed to pos
sess more than ordinary significance,
| from the fact that the editor has re-
Gently had several interviews with the
President. The article begins by ref
erence to the Arkansas matter. 1t says
that the President satisfies the people
there, but offends his friends here; and
it then goes into a discussion of South
EN- affairs. After describing the bad
government in South Carolina, the
trouble in Louisiana, ETC., it says:
"The peril of the South is felt in the
North; sympathy for the sufferings of
the Southern people begins to be COM
mon to all parties. We know how the
Republicans of the old free States re-
gard the situation, and we can readily
anticipate where it must end, unless
speedy rescue is found
1t then claims that the keynote is
sounded In the Presidents decision,
and asks if there is no way to apply
the spirit of this action to Louisiana
and South Carolina. 1t declares
Grant must take the bold initiative,
and adds: -..s
at may seem to be sacrifice, and
yet, boldly seized, the opportunity may
be salvation. An appeal to Congress
would be Just alternate. The crisis
In the South does not affect one race,
but both; not only one section, but all,
and to meet and master it all politics
and partisans should be boldly and
summarily set aside. The country GER
tainly would be honored by the attempt
of the Republican party, and one man
would be gratefully remembered-Pres-
ident Grant. Every honest man re-
CARDS affairs in the South with dire
forebodings, and feels the shadow of it
projecting into his own disc"
ut is for Republican President"
the Press concludes, Ito cut the gordian
knot by one bold and determined effort
for the relief of the whole South, and
once more save his country and his
party. His powers are vast; the states
manship to hep him ought to be equal
ly vast. Where there is much authori-
ty, there ought to be much genius.
Perhaps all that is needed is moral
courage, and that ought not to be
wanting in a citizen who broke down
the rebellion and forgave the very lead
ers he had conquered"
