We would direct the attention Of those re-

card of Mr.. Freisches. Mr.. F. has located
here for the purpose of conducting the paint
ing business, and Judging from various speci'

give satisfaction to those who may patronize
him. An inspection of a parlor recently re-
painted by him, under unfavorable circum
stances as to the condition Of the plastered

that he is master of his business.

aay-We take pleasure in calling the favorable
attention of our readers to the advertisement
of the New York Taibune, published in an
other column of this paper. The Tribune has
fairly earned in its best and broadest sense the
distinction of "the leading American news
paper" 1t leads in the promtness and COM
pleteness of its news, in the honesty and indie.
pendence of its policy, in the fairness and
ability of its editorials, in the fullness and
variety of its correspondence, in its literary
and scientific intelligence, in its thorough and
excellent agricultural department., and, in
short, in all which make up progressive,
fairsighted and liberal newspaper. The 4rI-
bune leads the entire press of the country.
The recent course of The Tribune toward the
the South and its political and industrial IN
terests has been marked by the same fair
ness and friendliness displayed by MIR. Gree,
ley from the close of the war. The impartial
and intelligent letters by Tribune corresp.on-
dents from Alabama and Louisiana did just
service in showing to the people of the North
the true state of affairs in those unfortunate
and slandered States, and in all questions af-
fecting the South. The Tribune is sure to
deal kindly and honestly. The Tribune de'
serves and should receive a wide circulation
through the South. Its terms are low and
its commissions to agents liberal. Read the

SALT WATER FOR THE EYEs.-Hany
persons are suffering pain from weakness of
the eyes. This sometimes proceeds from To-
cal inflammation and sometimes from other
CAUSES. Several persons who have been
thus afflicted inform us that they have de-
rived almost immediate and, in some eases,
permanent relief from the application of
salt water as IL bath; and where the pain
has been aggravated, from a compress sat-
naIated with salt water laid ON the eyes,
and renewed at frequent intervals. Open
ing the eyes and submerging them in clean
salt water has been found beneficial to
those whose eyesight begins to fail.

WEARING FLANNEL.-Th majority Of
,enul e are not aware of the beneficial eff
'ects of wearing flannel next to the body
10Th in cold and warm weather, as preju-
Iced people believe. Frequent colds and
constant hacking coughs have left me
since adopting flannel garments. There is
10 need of great bulk about the waist,
which condemns the wearing flannel with
chose who prefer wasp waists to health,
for in that case the flannel can be cut as
DOS ly fitting waists, always fastening at
the back. There are scarcely one of the
bad effects of sudden changes of weather
felt by those who wear flannel garments,
md mothers especially should endeayor to
secure such for their little people, i'll pref.
renee to all those snowy outside trimmings
which fashion commends.
REMEDY FOR BOILs.-Dr. Simon, a ply
sician Of Lorraine, gives a new cure for
boil$, namely, by treating them with cam
phorated alcohol. AS soon as the culni-
nation of the boil makes its appearance.
he puts Il little of the liquid in Il saucer,
and dipping the ends of the fingers into it,
;ubs tie inflamed surface, especially the
central part, repeating the operation eight
" ten times for about half minute. He
then allows the surface to dry, placing over
it a slight coating of camphorated olive oil.
He says that four such applications will,
III almost all cases, cause bois to dry up
and disappear; the operation to be per-
formed morning, noon and evening.
