Spiders webs.

1t may not be generally known that
cobwebs have been applied to various
uses. The delicate cross hairs in the
telescopes of surveying instruments are
fine webs taken from spiders of species
that are specially selected for their pro-
ductton of an excellent quality of this
material. The spider, when caught, is
made to spin his thread by tossing him
from hand to hand, in case he is indis-
posed to furnish the article. The end
is attached to piece of wire, which is
doubled into two parallel lengths, the
distance apart exceeding a little the
diameter of the instrument. As the
spider hangs and descends from this,
the web is wound upon it by turning
the wire around. The coils are then
gummed to the wire and kept for use
as required. a century ago, pair of
gloves and a pair ofstoekings were made
from the thread of the spider. They
were very strong, and of beautiful
gray color. Other attempts of the kind
have been made but with moderate
success.

success.

he water-cuTe, or hydropathy, owes
its origin to the fertility Of invention
ofa Silesian peasant, Vincenz Press
nltz. Having at the age of thirteen
sprained his wrist, yonng Priessnitz
intuitively applied it to the pump; and
afterward, to continue the relief thus
obtained, he bound upon itan Umscb-
lag, or wet bandage. Rewetting this
as it became dry, he reduced the inflam-
nation, but excited . rash on the sur
face OF the part. Soon after, having
crushed his thumb, he again applied the
bandage, and the pain once more sub
sided, but the rash reappeared. Te
inferred that the rash indicated an i'm.
pure blood and this conclusion was
strengthened by the result Of expert.
ments which he was induced to try mn
on injuries and ulcers in the case OF
some of his neighbors, since the rash in
some instances appeared after the treat
n1ent, and in others did not. Thus he
was led to frame for himselfa humoral
pathology of all diseases, and doctrine
OF the elimination of morbific matters
by ''crisis." According to this view,
the cure of disease is to be effected bv
favoring the activity OF those organs
through which the publication of the
system is carried ON, and, through a.
regulated and pure dietary and correct
regimen, preventing further morbid ac-
camulations. In his nineteenth wear.
being run over by cart, Priessnitz had
some ribs broken and received severe
bruises; on learning that the physicians
pronounced his case hopeless. he tore
off their bandages, and recovered under
the renewed application of the U9asch-
lag, and replaced his ribs by initiating.
the lungs while pressing the abdomen
against a window-sill. This incident
confirmed the idea, and initiated the
practice ofthe water-cure. DDzgtoos, |

In making this call for a Republican
State Convention, the State Central Conn
mittee realize the fact thatt much impor-
tance cannot be attached to preliminary
operations. This being a government of
the people, by the people, for the people, -
the agents or officers of the government
should be in accord with the people. Ac-
cOFIling to the general accepted plan of
selecting candidates, the first steps are ta-
ken in our primary, county and State con-
vcntioils. These form the ground work of
political organization upon which the whole
superstructure milst stand or fall. If hon
est men desire honest officials. is it asking
too much that they lay aside for day all
o. her business affairs and devote the time
necessary to select proper persons to attend
county and State conventions?
In view Of these considerations and of the
Important interests at stake we earnestly
appeal to all legal voters who are in SYM
p2thy With the principles OF the Republican
party, regar1leSs of personal likes and dis
likes to rally at the primaries, and see TO it
that none but true men are entrusted with
the business of preparing for the coming
political campaign: Select men who are
not only true themselves in the broadest
sense OF that term but men Of discernment
men who can and will chuose wisely for thu.
good OF the people in defiance of rings
and '-clEques.''
It Is unnecessary at this time to reiterate
In this call the principles OF the Republican
party: its glorious record is still fresh i'm
the memory OF an enlightened public it
ts sound upon all the great principles affect
ing our national existence it is the party
Of progress and development it exposes
corruption wherever found and inflicts pun
ishment upon conspirators, fearful and sud-
den, without respect of person or position

people without tTammel of creed or ism

A REPLY TO JEFFERSON DAVIS
Warren Lee Gross, OF Connecticut. Prcsi-
dent OF the National Union of Anderson
vile Survivors, has written a reply to
Jefferson Davis assertion that the NOR
tality of the Confederate prisoners in
Union hands was greater in proportion
than that of Union soliers Ill rebel pris-
ons. Mr.. Goss quotes the Federal War
Department figures, showing the total
captures of soldiers and citizens by the
Confederate forces to have been 1SS, ,145.
1t is estimated that of theese one-half
were actually confined in prisons. The
number of deaths in Confederate prisons
was 36,401. Consequently the percent
age of mortality in prisons was more
than 384, and the percentage of the en-
tire captures about 19a. The number
of captures by the Union forces was
476, 100; actually confined (the rest
being paroled or exchanged), 327, $40;
percentage of mortality in prison, 134;
percentage of mortality of whole numb
er of captures, 6a. Thus the mortality
i'll rebel prisons was about three times
as great as that in Union prisons.
