Salt In Sickness.

In the milk diet that l recommend in

The most marked example of this want
of common salt have ever noticed has
been in surgical disease, especially in
open wounds. Without a supply of salt
the tongue would become broad, pallid,
puffy, with tenacious pasty coat, the
secretions arrested, the circulation feeble,
the effusion at the point of injury serous,
with an unpleasant watery pus, which at
last becomes mere sanies or ichor. A

all this, and the patient get along we'll"

Salmon Catching and Curing.

THE salmon factories" are peculiar
feature of the local industry of Columbia
River. The fish are caught in weirs, in
gill-nets, as shad are caught on the Hud-
son, and this is the only part of the labor
performed by white men. The fishermen
carry the salmon in boats to the factory,
where they fall into the hands of the
Chinese, who get for their labor dollar
day and "keep."
The salmon are flung up on a stage,
where they lie in heaps of a thousand at
a time, surprising sight to an Eastern
person, for in such pile you may see
fish weighing from thirty to sixty pounds.
The work of preparing them for the cans
is conducted with exact method and great
cleanliness, water being abundant. One
Chinaman seizes fish and cuts off his
head; the next slashes off the fins and
disbowels the fish; it then falls into
large vat, where the blood soaks out--a
salmon bleeds like bull-and after soak
ing and repeated washing in different
watts, 1t falls at last into the hands of one
of gang of Chinese whose business it
is, with heavy knives, to chop the fish
into chunks of suitable size for the tins.
These pieces are plunged into brine, and
presently stuffed into the cans, it being
the object to fill each can as full as posi-
BILE with fish, the bone being excluded.
The top, which has a small hole pierced
in it, is then soldered on, and five hun.
dred tins set on form are lowered into
a huge kettle of boiling water, where
they remain till the heat has expelled all
the air. Then Chinaman neatly drops
a little solder over each pin-hole, and
after another boiling, the object of which
is, believe, to make sure that the cans
are hermetically sealed, the process is
complete, and the sdlmon are ready to
take journey longer and more remark
able even than that which their progeni-
tors took when, seized with the curious
rage of spawning, they ascended the

Virus's Candidate.

Soon after the first inauguration of
Governor Seward as Chief Magistrate of
this State, Virus w. Smith, then and for
many years afterward potential man in
the Whig party of Onondaga County,
wrote to Mr.. Thurlow Weed, requesting
him to call upon the Governor and ask
him to appoint certain man as Indian
Agent for the Onondaga tribe of Indians.
The person recommended by Mr.. Smith
was we'll known to Mr.. Weed as one of
those fussy, meddlesome, maladroit, pesti.
lent fellows, nuisances to any party,
whose only power is power for mischief.
He was therefore surprised at MI. Smiths
urging him for the position, and thought
it could only have been done through ig.
norance of his character or misrepresen-
tation on the part of others. Mr.. Weed
accordingly replied, expressing regret at
MIR. Smiths request, in view of the OBJ
jectiOnable character of the candidate,
and begging him to suggest a more ac.
ceptable name. Next day Mr.. Weed
mentioned the matter to the Governor
(who was equally cognizant of the mans
character), and remarked that he had an.
swered the letter, and that action for the
present would be delayed. 1t was thought
that this would bring Mr.. Smith TO AL
bany to look after the matter, as it did.
On arriving he promptly called upon Mr..
Weed, who eXpOstulated with him as to
the character of his candidate. "Never-
theless," said he, eff you make it point
that he must have the place, why, have it
he must"
"Well, Mr. Weed, am very anxious
about it,"
But you know what bad fellow
he is ?"
Cant help it; he's my man."
but can't you give some eason for
your urgencyY"
"No," replied Mr.. Smith; Il do not
care to do that"
"But the Governor thinks badly of this
fellow and certainly some explanation is
due to him."
"Well, it's something I don't wish to
talk about"
"Why~
"Do you really want to knOw9"
"Certainly."
"Then, if you insist upon it, I'll tell
you. You know there are among the
OnOndagas two parties, the Christians
and the Pagans ~
81 am aware of it,"
"Well, my man is Leetle in favor of the
Christians The Pagans have found that
out, and, what is more, they have agreed
among themselves that the moment he
comes among them Mey'H kill himp
"Virus," as he was popularly called in
Onondaga, finally concluded, in the in-
terest of humanity, 20 withdraw his can
didate, and there was no assassination by

Cleansing Clothes.-Dissolve two
pounds of soap in three gallons of water
as hot as the hand can bear. To this add
one tablespoonful of turpentine and three
of aqua ammonia, the mixture TO be well
stirred. Soak the linen clothes in this
two or three hours, taking care to keep
the boiler tightly closed. Then wash and
rinse IN the usual way. Add for the sec.
ond use of the preparation, half as much
turpentine and ammonia as at first. Both
of these possess strong detersive qualities
without any injurious effect The smell
of both will disappear by the time the
clothes are dry. The use of this mixture
makes rubbing on the board unnecessary
and will not remove the color from

Robert BOnner's New York Ledger.

The Ne,D York Times of yesterday contains
the following just and appreciatlve editorial
notice:
The Nei0 York Ledger recently entered upon a
new volume, and the proprietor, Mr.. Robert Bon
ner, took occasion TO say few words TO his hum
dreds OF thousands Of readers. He tells them that
the liberality which has been shown in the past in
the management Of his paper will be continued
throughout the new year, that all the old favOrite
writers will continue TO contribute TO its pages :
that he will be constantly on the watch for "any
new developments Of real rising genius;' and thai
he Is determined to keep up the Ledger as " the
best family paper In the world"
That these pledges will be kept, Mr. Bonner's
well,known enterprise and high character afford
sufficient guarantee. He may fairly claim the
credit OF having established popular journal
which Is absolutely free from any moral reproach
or stain. In too many Of the trumpery journals
which have been set up in the vain hope of COM
peting with the Ledger, the lessons taught 10 the
young are OF the most injurious character. Pa
rents are depicted rs unnatural tyrants from whom
II Is duty and virtue to escape. A boy flies
from his home, meets with stranger OF bOundless
wealth and liberality, Is instantly adopted as son
and heir, and achieves exploits which rival all the
feats OF all the heroes known to history MANY a
boy has found out to his sorrow how little reese
wild and mischieyous stories represent the actual
conditions OF the battle Of life. Too often the
teaching Is even more perniciOus-yice aud
pronigaey are openly ineulcated. Mr.. Bon
ners Ledger has always been free from this
aOonilnable poison. Hence 1t has been, and
Y, freely admitted into thousands OF fami-
lies all over the country as compan-
ion and friend. No pr0fane word, no vicious
stories, are ever allowed to appear in Its columns
among It's contributors are some of the most
hghy'esteemed clergymen OF the day and many
OF the abest writer's In general literature II has
two columns every week OF replies TO correspond
ents, which are full Of practical good sense and
sound advice. In the number before MS questions
on great variety OF subjects are asked, from
knotty law points TO delicate subjects connected
with engagement and marriage and all these
questions are answered carefully and with great
good humor and worldly wisdom. In this single
number also there are eight different stories,
either continued or complete In themselves; ar,
tlcles by the Reys. Henry Ward Beecher and Dr.
Hall many admirable comments on topics OF the
day, and great variety OF useful and miscellane-
Gus reading. A better publication IL would be
hard TO find and while bearing our testimony 10
the fact that II well deserves the wonderful sue.
cess II has achieved In the past, may we add our
wishes for Its redoubled success In the future.

now is the history of Gideon, who was
not allowed to attack the enemy until his
army of thirty-two thousand men had
been reduced to three hundred. The
crusaders, however, had better not allow
the parallel to 60 too far, or they may
not have any army at all wherewith to
attack. Sad to say, yesterday afternoon

CORONER BoRowsKT yesterday held an
inquest on the body Of John Ryan, who
was killed in the MCGEE shaft OF the
Richmond mine last Saturday. The evil
dence showed that five men were work
ing together ION the lower level; that
when the proper time arrived three OF
these got on the cage and came to the
surface; that they told the engineer to
hoist the waste bucket; that without the
knowledge Of the engineer, two men re-
naming behind in the mine started up
on the bucket; that when the first sta
ton from the bottom (135 feet) was
reached deceased made an attempt to
jump off, but missing his aim was pre-
cipitated to the bottom, causing almost
instant death. 1t appears that it had
not been customary to hoist men on the
bucket above the station mentioned, and
it is the general impression that Ryan
supposed that the bucket was about to
stop its ascent when he made the fatal
leap. No blame can well attach to the
engineer, as he had not the remotest
idea that there was any one on the
bucket. not having been informed of the
fact, and quite reasonably inferring that
he was simply bringing q bucket of
waste to the surface. The Jury re-
turned verdict of accidental death
