OPIUM EATING.
Experiences of CONFIRMED Opium Eater.

ITO the Editor of the Daily Grophtcl
Severely wounded during the war
of the rebellion | became an opium
eater Cor rather laudanum -drinker)
nearly ten years ago. From thirty
drops in twenty-four hours L rose to
thirty ounces in the same period. l
verify believe that gallon would not
kill me now. A month ago my daily
quantity was ten teaspoonfuls Cor Ii
oz) j; now | take but three teaspoon
tul-, and am hoping to still further
r. duce that quantity without un>
PLEASANT effects. That shall take
some laudanum daily during the
rest of my life L truly believe, for
my stomach has become used TO IL
and will not do without some of the
drug. My hopes are to get to one
teaspoontul Cot so drops) morning
and evening
You will ask how this wonderful
reduction has been made. will say
to you and to the suffering army OF
opium. eaters that this has been doIe
by simply giving up the use of all
stimuli ints, and more particularly of
coffee. When pour devil takes lau-
danum with the hopes of ending bis
life and discovered before it is too
late the physicians administer strong
coff Q as an antidote. 1t therefore
stands To reason that no opium-eater
should use coffee, or he will take
more of the drug to Offset the eff9ol
of the coffee. During the past five
years only hoped that | could some
day reduce my daily quantum to one
ounce (seven teaspoonfuls, or 420
drops). Such an event feared could
never be real eel. Now, as l have
stated, I get along nicely on three
teaspoonfuis, $50 drops, and expert
ence no uneaslness, no sternutation,
no yawning, and el1ep well at night
In fact, feel more drowsy evening
than formerly on an ounce daily.
The expense of Iau ianum to me
for the past ten years has been very
great. OF course | buy in consider
able quantities at some reduction
from the retail prices, and 1T bias
averaged me an outlay of ten doll iro
per month for this article. L dared
not take a trip to Europe or far
away, for l should need a large guam
ity for my voyage, to say nothing
of the annoyance and expense ct
passing samo through various from
tier custom houses. Now | see my
way clear to be freer man.
Please to publish this oxpe' fence
to the world through the &C lumns OF
The Daily Graphic. Let opium-eat-
ers give up brandy, whiskey, and
above all coffee. Many a time when
| have drank too heavily at night |
have required ne-glassful of liu-
danum in the morning to bridge over
the bad feelings | experienced and to
set up again for business. A dread
ful bondage it is, and many poor
fellow-more to be pitied than bIam-
ed-suffers from his slavery to opium.

How to Make Chicken Salad.

Take eight large pullete, or two
turkeys, and boil till we'll done !:
pick out ali the bones, skin, and fat !;
cut up the balance into small pieces,
and set 1T aside. Boil one dozen eggs
hard, let them cool, then separate
the whites and yolks. Mash the
yolks very fine, and chopping the
whites very fine, sat them also aside.
Get a very large fiat dish, put in the
middle OF it the yoIks of the eggs and
four large tablespoonful of mixed
mustard. Have by you one plat of
strong vinegar (from your spiced
plokle-pot Is best) and a large bottle
OF pure olive oil. Pour little oil in
the mustard, and with q silver fork
rub it in till smooth; then q little
vinegar, in which has been melted
two good tablespoonful of salt; then
oil, etc, alternating oil with vinegar.
and each time rubbing it in TIL well
mixed. When you have mixed the
whole bottle of oil and pint of vine
gar, and it is smooth, like butter.
then add q heaping teaspoonful of
Cayenne pepper, one ounce of black
pepper, and three ounces of celery
seed, rubbed fine in q mortar. Have
ready IS much celery as you have
fowl, cut up in pieces one-quarter of
an inch in length mix carefully to-
gether, and pour the dressing over
all. Serve in glass or china bowls.
The above quantity is enough to
provide for a party of eighty or one
hundred persons.

How to Prepare Poultry For the
New York Market.

Messrs. Rhodes &c S,rver. produce
commission merchants, &c Whitehall
Street, New York, published a cir.
cular of instruction for preparing
poultry for their market last year,
which was found to contain SO many
valuable hints, and was so highly
priced by poultry dealers, that they
have thought well to revise and re-
print it; making few alterations
which experience has shown to be
necessary. We give the revised cir.
GUAR in full. Any information in re-
regard to market, ETC., not found in
the circular, may be obtained by
writing to the firm:
Secure plump, well-tatted birds.
Bleed them in the mouth or throat.
Scald enough to make the feathers
come { # easy; pick both feathers
and pin-feathers all off nicely, taking
great care not TO bruise or break the
skin in any way. If one or two of
the lot should accidentally get bruis.
ed or have the skin broken, sell or
use at home, as they will hurt the
sale of the whole lot. Leave all the
entrails in, and heads and feet on
Immediately after they are dressed,
dip once or twice In hot water, and
then 10 ice water ; then hang them
in cool place, where they will dry
off, and get stiff before packing
Pack in boxes or barrels, in nice
clean rye straw if this cannot be
OBJ aimed, dry oat straw may be used.
Be sure and pack solid, 30 they will
not brUise in transit. Pack with
breasts down. Poultry prepared in
this way always finds a ready mar
ket, while poor, halt-dresse1, sweaty
Caused by packing while warm
and bruised lots, will not sell we'll al
any time.
Many farmers make practice CT
feeding their half starved fowls all
they wilt eat just before killing, and
then send them away to market with
full crops, in order TO get the price
of poultry for corn. In this they
make a mistake; the crop being
swollen to ab unusual size, turns
black after being packed awhile, and
not only shows clearly the dishonest
intentions of the packer, but Injuries
the sale of the fowls q great deaI
more than is gained in weight. Feed
meal only, for at least two days be-
fore XII ing. Remember, it is the
appearance of goods that sells them.
Mic. large, plump, fat turkeys,
ducks, chickens, or geese, always
bring outside prices.
When is the best time to ship
This question is often asked. We
answer: any time after cool weather
commences. But if sent for the
holidays, have them here at least
three days before Thanksgiving
Christmas, or New Years. Keep
largest turkeys for New Years ;
geese sell pest at Christmas"

The He R A Id.
The Crop Movement For 1874.

rp,or, the Milwaukee Journal Of Commerce.
AGAINST the course of the Mllwau-
kee Journal of Commerce, in counsel
ing farmers not to send IN their
wheat too fast upon an unremunera-
tive market, there have been urged
these two objections :.
l. It has kept farmers from reailz-
ing comparatively good prices this
season in order to be obliged to take
worse prices next season.
2. It has kept back the movement
of wheat so as to derange and dis
tress all business interests.
Both of these objections are
proundIess, as we can easily show.
We main ain on the contrary:
l. That, by their regulation of the
movement of wheat in the northwest,
farmers have maintained the price
At very nearly q remunerative figure
and have kept it from gong fully
twenty cents lower
2. That the crop movement this
fall has been as large as the interests
of general trade have required.
Those who dispute this latter propo-
sition do not realize what the move.

has been.

Vice President Wilson's Views the Recent
Elections and the Issues Involved

A reporter had an interview with
Vice President Wilson, since the
election, who said that he had never
spoken with the President on the
su bjsct of a third term. He said
that he did not consider that the
result of the elections indicated
thorough or permanent revolution 10
public opinion, or that this result
torshadowed the conclusion Of the
next presidential campaign, but the
republican party, to regain what 1T
has lost, must adopt wise and lib
eral. high-toned policy must crowd
it's ranks with all the worthy elc
ments it car secure, and it must be
careful not to aleniate any good men
from the party. Above all, it must
put the best men forward. Mr.. VIII
son attributed the causes Of the de-
feat of the republican party to dir
satisfaction among the unemployed,
the burden which the Louisiana mat.
ter has been to the Farty, and the
third term question. On the latter
question no said with emphasis
For my part, would oppose with
all my tIength the election of any
man TO q third term, were be the

TO avert it, lain and direct viola
ton of the constitution ; violation
that should be ackno wIedged and

other means to save the country
should any man be chosen to third
term. These elections have settled
that question for the next hundred
years. Equal rights must be main

as generous policy as possible. and

leges to the small NUN Der OF souther-

As to the result of the Massachu

liquor interests, and the losses in the
congressional districts were occasion.

general causes for the republican de-
