PARASITES IN THE HUMAN EAR-A
young man named Henry Futcher ap-
piled to DIR. Linde the other day asking
for relief from a terrible pain in the side
of the head which was driving him al
most to distraction. His head was swol-
len and the blood was slightly oozing
out of his ear. He said he had suffered
terrible agonies, and thought the Difficult
ty was somewhere in his ear. The doc
tor examined the ear and observed some
thing wiggling far in towards the drum
Dipping feather i'm Carbolic acid he
inserted it in the ear, and was surprised
to see n live maggot hop out. He then
injected some acid. killing the remain
ing maggots, which tumbled out where
he could reach them with pinchers, and
in this way he removed seven large mag
gots of peculiar kind. They were a.
bout half an inch long and an eighth of
an inch thick, larger at the head than At
the tail, and formed of & succession of
rings. Examined under n microscope.
the maggots were found to possess three
sharp horns in their heads. with which
they dug their way into the flesh. They
had dug in the err considerably, and
were piercing the drum. In fact Flutch-
er had been unable to hear with that ear
for some time. The pain caused by
these animals was almost unbearable,
and yet the real cause had not been sus-
pected The doctor has made inquiries
and searched authorities. but is unable

blown in the ear. He has preserved the

to pay tribute to the East. Every
farmer, mechanic hnl luborcr in West
Virginia are taxed something to pay
the interest on these bonds.
The Democracy says this is all
wrong, that one portion OF the couu-
try should not be made to pay tribute
to another. That these bonds should
be redeemed in the currency Of the
country and thereby stop the interest
The Democratic party says contract
the bonds, curtail The bonds, redeem
the bonds, hut increase TIC currency,
On the other hand the Republican par
ty says increase the bonds and curtail
the currency. This is the issue before
the people Of Ohio, initiation or con-
traction.
The policy Of the Republican party
is to make the rich, richer, aud the
poor, poorer. It's to make the West md
South pay tribute to the East. 1t, i.
to tax the property and labor Of the
South for the support Of the govern.
luent and the boniholders. and to Gx'
empt from taxation the property
(bonds) Of tue bcndhOlders who reside
chiefly in the East.
The policy of the Democratic party
is to tax all sections Of the country
alike-to redeem the bonds in currcn.
cy whenever it is lawful to DO so and
thereby save millions every year tt
the government.
The policy of the Republican party
has nigh brought ruin, stagnation Of
business, and bankruptcy upon the en-.
tire country. The people now de-
mand change aud the great lights Of
the Ohio Democracy arc at this time
pointing the WY to relief, which is,
TO contract the bonds and increase the
currency -ChaHcston Go Wicr.

The Question OF the Day-Iniiation
or Contra ction.

The issue in Ohio between the Dem.
ocrats and tho Republicans is Ma
tiopal question. The contest is wax.
ing warmer and warmer, and all parts
Of the country are taking the deepest
interest in tho political questions now
agitating the people of Ohio.
The Republican party is advocating
o policy that suits the bond-holders
and money Gloss.
The Democratic party is ad vocating
a policy that suits the great masses Of
tho people and especially the produc.
irg and laboring classes.
The contest is decidedly sectional 10
its character. II is tho West against
the East It is the farmer, mechanic
and day laborer Of Ohio and other
western States against the bond.holder
Of. New York and New England. And
how has this contest become sectional ?
In this way. During the war New
York and New England chiefly fur.
nishcd the United States Government
with army supplies and received bonds
70, these supplies and thereby became
boudho!hers. This horde Of army
contractors constitutes a powerful cle-
ment in the Republican party. In
fact the money interest Of tho country
is on the Republican side, and this
party for The last ten years has con.
trolled the legislation Of the country,
and has made oil laws regulating the
currency, national banks. finance, tar
if, revenue. &c. What has been, and
still is, the policy Of tho Republican
party? 1t has been, and is, to pro-
mote the interest Of the bond.holdcrs
md the money power of the East at
the expense Of the farmer and laborer
Of the West and South. Ono instance
will suffice to show the policy Of the
Republican party. During the war
an act was passed authorizing the is.
sue Of five hundred million bonds dc.
nominated fve.twentY bonds. They
we're so denominated because they
were made payable twenty years after
date, yet tho Government had the right
to cali them in and pay them oil q. any
time after five years from their date
The interest on these fyc.twcpty-
bonds was payable in gold, bu, moth
ing was mentioned in the act of Con.
gross, rs to how the principal was 10
bc paid, whether in gold or currency.
These bonds were sold for green.
backs, and other currency Of the Uni
ted States and used to pay debts con-
tracted by the Government during the
war.
The Democratic party contends that
tho fivc.twcuty bonds should be re-
deemed by the Government, in cur
rcucy-that the interest on said bonds
should be paid in gold. rs required by
an act Of Congress directing the issue
of the sal bonds. But that the princi-
pal Of the bonds should be paid in cur
rcncy. The Republicans in 1869 dc.
clared by act Of Congress that 10th the
principal and interest on these bonds
should be paid in gold.
A bOndholder pays no taxes on bis
bonds and gets his interest annually

ing hair checked, and badness often,
though not always, cured by its
use. Nothing can restore the hair
where the follicles arc destroyed, or
the glands atrophied and decayed;
but such rs remain can be saved by
this application, and stimulated into
activity, so that new growth of
hair is produced. Instead of fouling
the hair with a pasty sediment, it
will keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of,
and consequently prevent badness.
The restoration of vitality it gives

the formation of dandruff, which Is

Free from those deleterious sub.

not harm it. If wanted merely for

THOSE FALSE ALARMS.


From the various alarms Of fire given on
Monday night one might have readily
imagined that incendiaries by the score were
on the wing, and that the town was doomed
| to destruction. The tiremen hearkened to
| those alarms given up town, and on arrival at
the sta ion indicated as the scene of con-
Migration found that it was all hoax.
The matter began to grow serious, as this
thing of being continually on the alert and
half the time on the roll would eyentuate
in the utter exhaustion and consequent pros
tration Of the entire Fire Department, where
fore Chief O'Connor intimated TO a policeman
or two that there would be paid the sum Of
ten dollars for the detection and capture Of
the flcetious individual who had been indug-
ing in false alarm amusement.
From that instant the alarmist was doomed,
for the peelers skipped off to the various
alarm stations in that section of the town and
laid for the unknown as it were. Near one
o'clock, an alarm was turned on from box 30,
corner Of Camp and Melpomene streets, and
fastening forward, officer J. Fordyce found
one WIN. J. OConnor, police officer of the
Sixth Precinct, standing at the box.
Fordycc essayed to arrest the young man.
who Immediately produced his revolver, and
fired two shots Fordyce was persistent
however and advancing eventually per-
suaded O'Gonuor, by the flourish of an equally
formidable armament, TO surrender. He was
then locked in at the Pacaner Station, and
taken yesterday morning before Judge Evans,
of the First Municipal Court. O'Connor is a
fireman, aud could not have been actuated to
this freak by any other motive than pure Gus
sedness.

THE FUNDING BOARDS ACTS.

or the bonds funded Monday by the
Funding Board there were about 5000, DOC
old bonds and about $500, 600 of the subsidy
bonds issued by the State to the Chattan ooga
Railroad, for the road completed from this
city to Donaldsonville.
A number OF warrants issued since January,
1874, were rejected which action on the part
of the board is, to say the least, peculiar,
when it is remembered that warrants Of pre-
cisely the same kind have been received and
funded.
Louisiana Levee State eight per cent bonds,
of which there were one million, issued by
Madison Wells, when he was Governor, were
also rejected, there being an injunction
against them which is not likely to be
raised.
A large number of bonds sent here from
Europe and New York were funded, and the
new bonds are to be sent forward by mail as
soon as they are obtained.
The new bonds are at about standstill at
