In cases of illness where it is desirable
to stimulate perspiration, a vapor bath
may be improvised in the following man

water-over which the patient must be
seated in a cane-bottom chair-and use a
large blanket, which will cover him from
the shoulders to the floor for confining

" Never touch the bars, frog, sole or outer
surface with knife or rasp. Shoe with
light, thin shoes that allow the sole bars
and frog to be brought in contact with
the ground, and thus bear their due pro.
portion of the horses weight. Use small
nails, and not over five of them. Never
allow the points to be driven high up the
wall of the hoof For ordinary service in
the country during the summer months
use only tins which protect the toe, but
leave the entire ground surface of the

CAN IT DE TRUE?-Withn the last few
months considerable number of per-
sons have called upon DR.. Walker, the
proprietor of the popular medicine
known as VINEGAR BITTERs, and assured
him that, in their belief, his preparation
is an infallible antidote for rum and to-
bacco. The minute details which have
been furnished him forbid him to doubt
the accuracy of the statements. This
new claim of great remedy to the con.
fidence of the public will give a vast and
well-deserved impulse to its popularity.
Heretofore the BITTERs have been recog-
nized as a pure vegetable tonic and cor
rective, devoid of alcohol, and thorough
ly adapted to the cure of stomach and
bowel complaints, nervous disorders,
bilious affections, muscular diseases and
indeed majority of the ailments within
the reach of medicine; but if it will also
cure the craving for liquor and tobacco,
philosophers, statesmen and theologians
ought to unite their voices in its praise.
Can the good news be true? 1t is easy
to test the question. 8

able. The fact that fowls will die of old
age anyhow when five or six-at most
eight years old lin most cases)-renders
1t likely that a certain portion will die
annually at an earlier age. In conformity
with this idea, geese, which do not reach
old age Till twenty to 100 years, do not
drop of in the earlier years of maturity
to as great an extent as hens.
The moral of the above Is that novices
in poultry raising need not worry over
their ill-luck, or mistrust that their man
agement is any worse than that of their
neighbors, because perchance few Of
their fowls of two, or three or four years
old die every summer. 1t is to be ex-
pected unless the breed kept is uncom-
monty hardy and all the circumstances
are unusually favorable. Reduce the
death rate as much rs possible by hy-
gienic measures rather than by medi-
cine. Give plenty Of air and sunshine

WASHINGTON CITY:
........ January =, 1874.

The news comes from Texas that there is much
excitement in that state, owing to a decision OF
the supreme court to the effect that the recent
election, which was carried by the democrats,
was unconstitutional, and consequently null and
void. 1t Is said that the law passed by the last
legislature OF the state providing for the late
election was declared unconstitutional because
Ii specified that the said election should be held
on a certain day, whereas the constitution of the
state provides that call elections for state, dis
trict, and county Offices shall be held at the
county seats Of the several counties until other
wise provided by law; and the polls shall be
opened for four days, from O'Clock a.
M until O'Clock p. m. OF each day." The
point made by the supreme court of the
state may be well taken, but il is a sin
gular fact that the unc0nsttutonality of
the law of the legislature should not have
been discovered until several weeks after
the election. Governor Davis seemed TO have
no hesitation in approving the bill, and it is
not at all probable that the question Of the le-
gality Of this election would have been raised
at all had he been reelected. The fact is that
Gov. Davis would insist on fOisting himself upon
the republican party as a candidate for gov
ernor, against the protests of some of the best
men of his own party, who urged that only a
conservative republican could be successful. A
democratic majority of 10000 proved the cor
rectness of their predictions 1t intim ated that
the democrats who carried the state, and who
nave been making preparations to '.run it,"
viii not submit quietly TO the decision OF the
sspreme court and will resort to force to get
possession OF the state Offices. This would put
them in the wrong. They had better fight it
out legally.
