n The committe of fools or lickspits, who
are called the Board of Managers of the Winnie
bago County Qll.) Agricultural Society, have in
yited JEFF Davis to deliver the address at their
Fair, and he has accepted. He can probably tell
them how to raise hemp and sour apple trees,
and to get the greatest amount of labor out of
niger on the least food. After this exploit the
Managers ought to see Naples and die.

The Pension FRAUDs.-A correspondent at
Oregon, Mo-, who claims to be, and probably is,
dsinterested in the matter, writes us that there
are two sides to the charge which we referred to,
against Clarke Irvine, for taking unlawful fees
for obtaining pensions and bounty. He says the
complainant is a man of poor reputation, and
that it is doubtful whether he can sustain his
charges; and that it if Irvine has taken unlaw-
full fees, it has probably been done under an
agreement with the other party, in consideration
of getting bad case through. We published
the statement as we found it in the st. Joseph
Gasette. The trial will probably decide whether
the charges can be sustained or not. But does
the law allow an agent to take advantage of q
persons necessities or the doubtful character of
his claim, to contract for exorbtant feel
And is it not fraud upon the Government to at
tempt to obtain a claim of doubtful legality or
justicef All that we know of Irvines operations,
is what two citizens Of this County have stated,
to the effect that he retained exorbitant and un-
lawful fees in their cases. We have heretofore
named the parties, and they can probably tell a
straight story, if summoned.

The Egyptian Army.

Col. S. II. Lockett writes from Egypt
to his friends in Montgomery, Ala: 81
brought quite number of applications
for service liz the Khedive's army when
I came. To all of these L have had to
reply that the Egyptian Government
has no desire to employ foreigners sim
ply because they are such. A few Amer
leans were wanted to fill certain special
positions, whose previous instruction and
experience would make them useful.
These positions are connected with the
staff departments of the army, and they
are nearly all filled. There are no for
eign officers in the line of the Egyptian
army-and they are not wanted. They
could not command the soldiers because
they do not know the language of the
country. Besides, the native officers are
now O well-instructed, competent set of
men. No man can be non-commis-
stoned officer unless he can read and
write, and the commissioned officers all
pass a rigid examination before appoint
ment. Gen. Stone, Chief of Staff, has
brought this about within the last six
years. There are now twenty American
officers in the Egyptian army. They
are partly engaged in the bureau at
headquarters here in Cairo, and partly in
explorations in the far interior"

An Iowa Half.POunder.

We record q little freak of nature, in
this county, which bids fair to rival ali
competitors in the dwarf line. On
Wednesday, the Oath inst, Mrs. s. M.
Dicken, living few miles east of Wa
verify, gave birth to girl baby that
weighed but half pound. It was
thought at first that it would not live,
bs1t on Monday last it was alive and well,
and kicked the beam with its clothes on
at less than pound. The child is per-
feet in all it's attributes, and it's head is
covered with beautiful black hair. It's
habits are excellent; it nurses we'll; en-
joys its nap; cries splendidly, and there
is general anxiety, not only by its pa
rents, but the whole neighborhood, that
its life be spared. It's wrists are not as
large in circumference as the smallest
finger on the hand of its nurse, and it's
legs are no larger round than the index
finger. The father OF rhe child is man
that weighs at least 175 pounds, and the
mother is a good sized woman. Their
previous child weighed fourteen pounds
at birth. Truly, this is strange freak
of nature, and it is hoped the life of
the little stranger will be spared to ex-
cite the wonder of the world, as it is
undoubtedly the smallest specimen of
humanity yet born, that has lived. It's
parents are farmers. -Du6uQue .NesDs.

A SMALLPOX Remedy.

A correspondent of the Stockton (Cal. }
Herald writes as follows:
I herewith append recipe which has
been used to my knowledge in hundreds
of cases. It will prevent or cure the
smallpox though the pittings are filing
When Jenner discovered cow-pox in
England, the world of science hurled an
avalanche upon his head; but when the
most scientific school of medicine in the
world-that OF Paris-published this re-
cipe AS panacea for smallpox, it passed
unheeded. It is as unfailing as fate, and
conquers in every instance. It is harm
less when taken by we'll person. It
will cure scarlet fever. Here is the re-
cipe as I have used it, and cured my
children of scarlet fever; here it is as I
have used it to cure small-pox when
learned physicians said the patient must
die. it cured:
Sulphate of zinc, one grain; foxglove
(digitalis), one grain; half teaspoonful
of sugar; mix with two tablespoonfuls Of
water. When thoroughly mixed, add
four ounces of water. Take spoonful
every hour. Either disease will disap-
pear In twelve hours. For child, small
er doses, according to age. If countries
would compel their physicians to use
this, there would be no need of pest
houses. If you value advice and expert
ence, use this for that terrible disease.
