The s.rnpa care.

The grape treatment has been employ
ed with favorable results by patients suf-
fering from bronchitis and consumption
in its pretubercular stages. tits especially
practiced at Moran, in the Tyrol, whittier
large numbers Of German, Russian and
Italian invalids resort 10 experience It,
benefits The patient begins by eating
one or two pounds of grapes each day,
dividing the quantity into three portions
one of when IL taken an hour before
breakfast another before dinner, which
occurs between - and 1 o'clock, and the
third i'm the afternoon or evening. After
two or three days the quantity Is increa--
ed by half pound daily until il reaches
three or four pounds. This amount Of
ten proves sufficient, the patient finding
as rule, that he gains in weight and
strength upon it. Chronic liver com-
plants, especially when due % excess iu
wine drinking, are, il is said, notably Zee
lieved bv this treatment, the potash salts
in the fruit supplying the element which
the wine loses in the process Of manuluc-
ture. Hepatic dr0psy has also been miti-
gated in this way. One feature in favor
Of the ''cure" is, that no exclusive diet
is prescribed. In fact, the grapes them
selves are so nourishing that other food
is scarcely needed.

CoRRECT SPEAKING.- advise all
young people to acquire the habit of corr
rect speaking and writing, and 10 abau-
don as early as possible any use Of slang
words and phrases. The longer you live
the more difficult the requirement of
correct language will be; and if the
golden age Of youth, the proper season
for the acquisition of language, be passed
in abuse, the unfortunate victim, if neg
lected, is very properly doomed to talk
slang for life. Money is unnecessary to
procure this education. Every man has
il in his power. He has merely TO use
language which be reads, instead OF the
slang which he hears 70 form his tastes
from the best speakers and poets Of the
country to treasure Up choice phrases
in his memory and habituate himself to
their use, avoiding az the same time that
nedantic precision and bombast which
shows the weakness Of vain ambition,
rather than the polish of an educated
man.

Try THE EXPERIMENT Thin out
the grapes--say every alternate bunch
where they are thlckly set, on one branch
or one vine, and see the difference in
the size of the lunches that are left on,
this fall when they ripen, over those on
vines or branches not trimmed and too,
take pair of fine pointed scissors and
thin out the fruit on punches, and see
the difference in size of fruit on the
bunch this fall If you want few
punches OF grapes for some extra occasion,
or to surprise your friends, or to lay on

deemed advisable in any County, for any
purpose, it can be freely obtained by a
written request to that effect.
Many other thoughts and suggestions
crowd upon US, but We are admonished
that this address is already sufficiently
extended. All that we have to say may
be compressed into the single admonition
that each man must do his duty.
As the hostile fleets of Great Britain
and France drew near to each other of
the coast of Trafalgar. each English eye
turned to the vessel that bore the broad
Pennant of Lord Nelson, to catch from
hun the watch-word of battle Present
ly there was signaled from his flagship
those immortal words" England ex-
poets each man to do his duty" AS they
ran from ship to ship the most tremend-
Gus cheers burst forth and rent the air.
Gray-haired veterans, who bore upon
their bodies the scares of many battles,
and tender boys upon whose cheeks still
fingered the down Of youth, alike caught
the inspiration and felt that the eye of
England was upon them. Those words
became immortal by victory, the mem
DRY of which will not die as long as the
English tongue is spoken, Or the English
language read.
Let US catch something of that noble
inspiration, and let the thought that in
this contest Mississippi expects each one
Of US to do his duty, brace up old age
to one more effort, nerve manhood to put
forth all its strength, and incite youth
to its noblest enthusiasm.
Respectfully,
JAS. u. GEORGE, Chairman.

that their wages be raised to 20 cents,
which was refused, and hence the strike.
This morning the miners in the shaft OF
the Cincinnati Coal and Coke Company
(BOrland's) also went out on q strike.
These men have been receiving so cents
per ton for mining, and asked an advance
Of 10 cents on these rates, which was re-
fused, and this morning they quit the
works. A committee had consultation
with Mr.. j. BOrelnnd this morning, but no

regard to the matter this morning, and
found the average, according to the pay

Some wOrkmen make considerably over
50 90 per dav, while Others run but
slightly over 81 90. The strike at Bor-
