Outlying Himself.

The Washington National Republi-
can, the Presidential mouth piece. is
Just now engaged in lying against
time. the object being to see
how many filthy falsehoods can be
compressed into the smallest space in
the next twelve months. It is a SON
orous liar and as fully up to the bus
mess as Beecher was in the crusade
against the chastity of his female flock.
Even the famous Brooklyn scandal
trial, taking both sides of the uues-
can scarcely shows as many lies. out
lying and inIying lies; horizontal.
perpendicular, vertical, angular, ,spasmo
die, paroxysmal lies, as cram the col
umns of the Washington Republican.
Beecher's lies could not stuff anv of
his Plymouth congregation with more
supeEfuous filthiness than does the
Repu6t5ca11 seek to force down the
throats of its gullible readers. Posi-
bly, Beecher and Tilton and the coun-
sci and witnesses on either side, are
occasional contributors to the Repub-
Ican but they cannot, without out
side help, manufacture all the super
latlve lies which adorn the columns of
the Repubica'a; a generation of Radi-
cal officials could alone fill the bill.
"Ine proof of the pudding is in the
bag" and to substantiate what we as
sert, we quote here merely one line
Zone at a time is enough) which we
find in an article in the Republican of
the 2lst inst. on the "Southern Stu
alton, in which it says:
''In the issue of March 11tb, it was
claimed that there was in the South
an army of two hundred thousand
men, fully equipped and ready for
whatever might occur. There can be
no doubt that the number given was
too small. The organized military in
the South numbers not less than three
hundred thousand men, all of whom,
or nearly all, could take the field in
less than a week and short campaign
will make them veteran army, as fine
as the world has ever seen."
If the men who write such stuff
would only believe themselves, the lie
they tell, how happy life would be to
us all But they are manufactured
written and published for purpose
the purpose of either securing the
continued ascendency of the RepubG-
can party In power or in the event of
failure of such a scheme, to again
plunge the country into the throes of
civil war. The authors and instigators
of such lie are as great traitors TO
the liberties of the people as Beeoher
is to the virtue of women, the honor
of men, the sanctity of the marriage
relation and the written and unwrit-
ten laws of both God and man.

The sun Cholera Mixture.

More than forty years ago, when it
was found that prevention for the Ash
attic cholera was easier than cure, the
learned doctors of both hemispheres
drew up a prescription, which was
published (for working people, In the
New York Sun, and took the name of
sGhe sun Cholera Mixture" Our
contemporary never lent its name to
better article. We have seen it in con-
slant use for nearly two score years,
and found it to be the best remedy for
Iooseness of the bowels ever yet devils
ed. It is to be commended for sever
al reasons. 1t is not to be mixed With
liquor, and therefore will not be used
as an alcoholic beverage. Its ingredi.
euts are we'll known among all the COM
mon people, and it will have no preju-
dice to combat; each of the materials
is in equal proportion to the others,
and it may therefore be compounded
without professional skill; and as the
dose is SO very small, it may be carri-
ed in a tiny phial in the waistcoat
pocket, an9 be always at hand. 1t is:
Iinct. opI,
Capcici,
Rheico,
Menth pip,
Campho.
Mix the above in equal parts; dose.
ten to thirty drops. In plain terms,
take equal parts tincture of opium, red
pepper, rhubarb, peppermint, and
camphor, and mix them for use. In
case of diarrhoea take dose of ten or
twenty drops in three or four tea
spoonfuls of water. No one who has
this by and takes it in time will ever
have the cholera. We commend it to
our western friends, and hope that
the receipt will be widely published.
Even when no cholera is anticipated
il is an excellent remedy for ordinary
summer complaint.
