T1oN FOR RHEUMATISM.

DR.. Playter, Of Toronto, gives the
following in the Canada Lancet: The
|patient was ordered to be insulated,
which was done BY placing the legs of
the bed-stead In four glass salt-cellars.
The next day he was decidedly easier,
and continued to improve rapidly, so
that he was entirely ifreeifrom pain in
three or four days more, and able to
walk about the house. The constitu-
'tional symptoms in this case were not of
ia very marked character. The hearts
'action was labored and irregular in the
beginning, but not 'auickensd; tongue
slightly ceated white, with thirst, but
perspiration not profuse; though these
symptoms, exceptipc the hearts action,
were gradually becoming more aggrsva-
tied up to the time when insulation was
tried. The patient had two previous
similar attacks, but of much greater
duration, and frem which he had en-
t!rely recovered. His father had suf-
fered from two or three very severe at
tacks of acute rheumatism. DR.. Play
ter adds: One such case does not
prove much IN favor of insulation
but the improvement in the one above
referred to commenced early, WIS
more rapid and decided than that OF
any other case of the like severity
which i have treated in a practice of
about fifteen years.

REylyrNG OLD ISSUES.

The editorial corps of the Register
are starting in on the division OF the
county again, and insinuate that the
SILVER STATE and all connected with II
favored that scheme, and knew all
about it from its inception. A more
glaring falsehood was never penned,
even by the notorious liar OF the Reg
lister. We have during the last three
months learned good deal OF the
secret history Of county division
and the men who took a prominent
part in it, and should an occasion arise
to render its publication necessary, it
shall be published. and the hypocrisy
of certain men exposed. County
division is as dead rs the Southern
Confederacy, and We do not want to see
it revived; but if it is we propose TO
tell all We have learned about it. and
give the plain unvarnished facts to the
public.
The corps also republish or
ticles from the SILVER STATE during
a local contest for the County Seat.
We might, if inclined to revive local
strife, which is happily ended forever,
refer to the Register, which was started
here in October, 1869. by the present
publishers of the SILVER STATE and
MS Bonnifeld. and show how well and
earnestly we fought for the removal of

SILVER CIrY.

Tue Avalanche of Tuesday has the
following relative to mining prospects
in Silver City:
Confidence is gradually being restored
among those who are posted in regard
to our mines, and glimmerings of II
brighter day are already beginning to
break through the clouds of dishearten-
ing gloom that have enveloped our
camp for several months past. The Orc
Elmo continues yielding magnificent ore,
and more of it than ever; the South
Chariot shows much better than when
the stock was selling at $I5 to $40 per
share; the Mahogany is known to con-
tain large amount of splendid ore,
and will soon be under way agsin the
new works at the Golden Chariot will
soon be in operation, and then chat
mine will contribute its quota to the
prosperity of the camp once more.
Aside frem these. arrangements are also
on foot to work and develop the En-
pire, War Eaele. Pauper and other
mines. Taken all in all. we regard the
general prospects of our camp decided
ly more encouraging than for some
time past.

AERO TERRESTRIAL NAVIGA-
TION.
Presidency

Our attention has been directed to a
machine which, if the inventors antic-
patious are realized, will prove to be
one of the most useful contrivances of
the present day.
Our friend intends travelling on An
ordinary telegraph line, so constructed
as to meet the requirements of his ma
chine, which is composed of cigar
shaped balloon, with sharp edges and
swelled body. SO as to catch the least
possible amount of wind. This is at
tached to the wire by means of hard
rubber sheavcs forward and aft.
Below the wire, and attached to the
sheaves. hangs the basket or platform,
with weight sufficient to counterbalance
the bucyancy Of the balloon. This
leaves little or no strain on the wire.
which serves chiefly to guide the ma
chine in its course.
The inventor intends using a sail at
present, and thinks he can run as near
the winds eye" as ship; but will
ultimately use steam, should his ex-
pertinent prove successful.
1t is claimed that as the machine is
suspended in mid air, the operator can
cross high mountain ridges with as
much ease as he can sail over level
plain. We are requested to omit
names; First-because no patent has
as yet been secured; and second-be-
cause the inventor is short of funds,
and will require several months to bring
his "flyer " to perfection.

The deep-sea soundings of Lieuten-
ant Bergman confirm the prevailing
theories concerning the cause of the
Gulf stream. At the depth of 1000
feet in the Straits of Florida, the tenn
perature is only three degrees above
freezing. while deep soundings ON the
telegraph route show a temperature CT
ten TO fifteen degrees below the
freezing point. Hence the warmer and
lighter water is from the Mississippi
crowded TO the surface, and is forced
toward the colder regions of the North,
while the denser waters of the North
dow south to restore equilibrium.

ONE of the features in the celetra-
ton of the Centennial will be the dis
charge of fifty thousands pounds of
nitro-glycerins at Hurl Gate, near New
York. Six thousand holes are now be-
ing drilled in the submarine rock for
the reception of the explosive material
which will be placed in the iron tnbes,
each of which will have direct battery
in connection. besides being connected
with the adjacent holes by means of
series of small tubes filed with nitro
slycerine. 1t is expected that the sim
ultaneous discharge of these blasts will
demolish two and half acres of rock.

A SUGGESTION.

Next year will be the one hundredth
anniversary of the Declaration of Amer
lean Independence. A Presidential
election will also take place that year.
Harmony should reign supreme
throughout the land and prevail through
and among all the States and sections
of the Union. Partisanism should give
way to patriotism, and no animosities
should be kept alive or engendered
against different sections of the coun-
try. To arrive at this condition Of po-
litical affairs, and in view of the fact
that the two great political parties of the
country are so nearly balanced that it
is impossible to foresee in whose favor
the scales will turn, would it not be
we'll te follow the noble example OF the
patriots of 1776 and run only one can
didate for the Presidency. There are
men Of ability, we'll qualified in every
respect for the position, who are not
identified with either of the political
parties of to-day, who would undoubt-
eddy accept fhe nomination, and for
whom sincere Democrats and Republic
cans could conscientiously cast their
ballots. A national convention to be
composed Of an equal number of dele
gates selected by both parties, with a
fair proportion of Independents, might
be called, and let the whole people
abide by their selection, and in the
Centennial year of Liberty-as in the
first-have but one candidate for the
Presidency.

1t is now transpiring that St.
Paul has number of college gradu-
ates, that can not earn a living.
Horace Greedy once said that there
were twenty thousand college gradu-
ates in New York, who We're unable
to make a living; and now a gentle
man in St. Paul, who is called in his
daily duty to inquire into the char
acter, qualifications and education
Of unemployed young men says:
"Among the hundreds who apply
every year to the writer for employ
ment, none are less in demand or
more helpless than those who have
spent their early lives in procuring a
classical education. For when thew at
last learn that they can make no prac-
tical use of their requirements, they at
the same time learn to their sorrow they
have neither the ability nor desire to
perform remunerative manual labor
Now we venture to say, that the
trouble with these young men. is not
that they have learned too much,
but that their education has been of
the hot house kind, and one sided
and full Of fallacies at that. Their
minds have been stuffed and crowd
ed, and their physical powers have
been neglected until all the vitality.
the animal spirit and vim, which
every man who is to successfully
fight his way through this rough and
tumble world must possess, have
been exhausted. Besides this, in all
probability, they have been taught
to look down on all manual labor as
beneath man Of learning; have inn
bibed the idea that to teach Greek
roots, to write dull editorials. to es-
pouse thecause Of some querulous old
sinner who enjoys the annoying
of the rest of mankind with vexa-
tious law suits, is more noble than
to assist the mighty Architect Of the
universe in making the plants and
trees to grow with greater luxuri-
ance, and to yield more abundant
fruits, more honorable than to assist
the Great All Father in the growth
and production of food tor His chill
dren,or to provide clothing or houses
for their preservation and protection.
The trouble is not that there is too
much education. Parents and youths
should learn lesson from this state
of things. Farm life has its hard
ships. but the farmer is never with
out employment, and if industrious
and saving is sure of an independ-
ence, and with ali its hardships it is
better than poverty. idleness or
starvation. Rightly pursued, it is
one of the grandest callings known
among men. yet the boy is sent off
to college with the view Of making
something more of him, and that he
may have an easier time than his
father. This idea needs to be for
ever banlshed from the minds of dot
ing parents.

A Few Pertinent Questions
from Wide Awake.

[ thank you for publishing my
last or first letter, and now seeing
there are no reciprocating responses
/ am induced to write another. AS
/ am an ardent advocate of the
Grange system, it must be about the
Grange. [ have been granger
almost three years, yet have not
received that benefit that | had
hoped for and the questions; what
IS the matter with the grange? and
what can | do? and such like are
constantly occurring to my mind.
This week the thought occurred to
me that we do not visit each other
enough either personally or collec-
lively. Now, I suppose that every
"granger" has perfect right to visit
or attend any grange that he feels
disposed. But how shall | know
when and where a grange meets. I
have often thought that 1 would
like to visit the Red Wing Grange,
as it ought to be model grange for
the County. But as you do not
publish your time of meeting, you
probably do not care about having
visitors. Now am taking the AD-
VANCE, supposing it to be a grange
organ, SO that I may find out about
the brotherhood, and you must keep
us posted. What are your terms
for publishing grange card for a
year?
l have understood since our elec-
ton of officers this year that the
Lecturers should not be merely
fgure-heads, but that they should
know and do their duty. 1t is get
ting toward spring and it is time we
heard from them. | suppose that
our lecturer is ready to cooperate
with any action that may be organ
lied, especially if within the county.
Now one question more: If a
grange should fzzle out, what can
amember do if he wishes to keep
with the order?
WIDE A. WAKE.
ANswERs-We commenced pub
fishing a directory of the time of
meeting of the Red Wing Grange,
and the County Council; last week,
and we shall be glad to announce
the time Of meeting Of other oranges,
whenever desired so to do, until we
get complete directory of all the
oranges in which the ADVANCE is
taken. We think the idea of neigh.
boring oranges visiting each other
as we'll as individual members visit
ing other oranges to be a good
one.
A grange should never be per
mitted to flzzle out, but if unfortu
nately grange should become sc
weak as to be unable to keep up its
organization, the National Grange
has provided way BY which it may
be consolidated with another grange

EDUCATIONAL.
EDITED BY COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT
OF SCHOOLS.
Parents VS.. Teschers,


from a teacher, it is hoped that the
Indifference complained of is not
general. 1t might be we'll for that
teacher to visit the parents of his
scholars and talk with them.1
One cannot teach long in our
country schools without being i'm
pressed with this fact that, that either
the parents have great confidence
in their teacher, or they think the
cause unworthy of their notice, We
love to labor under the impression
that it is the former but we are often
disappointed to find it otherwise.
1t is an acknowledged rule that a
man has an interest according to
the amount invested. And most
persons if unable to attend to their
whole business, personally, pay their
attention to that part that interests
them most.
Now from this course of reason
ing we are forced to draw this con-
clusion: that most parents are but
slightly interested in that which
should be the dearest Of all, the
training and educating of their chill
dren. And sometimes it is SO
strikingly manifest that we doubt
whether they would take pains
enough to hire a teacher and pro-
vide things necessary for a school
were it not for the honor come cted
with being an Office holder.
Wren we engage to teach a
school we suppose that we are to
have the patronage and support of
the parents, but when we find them
Indifferent to their own interests, it
is hard work if not an impossibility,
to arouse any interest in the chill
dren. 1t is fact that when the pa
rents are interested tn the education
Of their children, there is no trouble
about interesting them. But when
the parents make this interest a sec
ondary one, the children will imbibe
the same spirit And why should
they not? The parent enjoys the
fullest confidence of his children, as
they look to him for counsel and ad-
vice and if the parent allows any
slight influence or want to affect
their attendant at school, we can
expect no more of the child, as the
stream cannot attain to a higher
point than its source.

Suppose your future prosperit,

the work because you have placed

think that your responsibility ended
at the letting of the work, and would
you leave it unnoticed until he haf
performed his part of the contract
and comes to you for a final settle

You are building a structure thai
