Under the caption Radical Scoundrels"
the Gazette INDUCES in general abuse of the
" Radicals"-that is the Republicans-and
especially of Mr.. James Woolley, whose
claim against the city for services rendered
as an accountant is the special occasion Of
the GdzetteS overflow. The answer to its
attack on Mr.. Woolley simply is that his
claim was left, by agreement of his counsel
with the City Solicitor, to three referees,
Edward Belts, Edward 7. BelIah, and Fran
els Barry, aud that, in agreeing to refer it
to three such men, MIR. Woolley gives con
elusive evidence that he believes it to be
just. The Gazette, in its abuse OF " truly
loyal Radicals" would perhaps include
Messre. Belts, and Bellsh, if not Mr. Barry,
bu5 the distemper of it's mind, or what an
swers TO chat designation, is too great for
its abuse to be worth attention.

Facts for the People.

| IAs the virtues OF medicines can only be ascer
tanned by careful observation it is to be regretted
that many of the drugs still prescribed by some
Physicians should retain place in our materia
medca. As an instance of this, that vile drug Bal
sam Copaiba furnishes example. About the year
1890 the Spaniards in the Island of San Domingo
having become afflicted with certain complaints
thought according to the prevailing notion at that
time, that the remedy might be found where the
disease originated, Under this impression Basam
Copaba came INTO USE but never has nauseatng
drug done injury, for it not only changes the
nature of the disease to dreadful state than
the original but it ruins the tone OF the stomach
and brings on Dyspepsia in its worst forms. To

THE PLAN OF ELECTING PRESIDENT.

THE PLAN OF ELECTING PRESIDENT.
Thereais some talk that the system of
choosing President by electors is cumber-
some and full of difficulties, and that the
plan of elecing by direct vote must be
adopted. This would be jumping out Of
the frying pan into the fire. If majority
Of the popular vote we're all that was
required, the Southern States would
have but one kind Of tickets. No
Republican there would be al
lowed vote, at all. The South would
roll up unanimous return, in the Georgia
style, and if the majority we're few mil
lions greater than the whole population of
the United States it could not be thrown
out, of course, any more than the shot gun
result in Mississippi. The only pro
lection that the Northern States,
where the elections are really free,
and express the desires of the
people, can have, is system of voting by
States, either in the present way or some
thing similar. The South's popular vote is
not only of no value as an expression of
what the people of that section really want,
but it is nowso entirely the product OF force
and fraud that it might be used, and
doubtless would be, for the enslsvement
Of the whole country. Any sort of re-
turn could be made up there by the men
who have successfully established the shot
gun plan of politics. In the present case,
we have fixed number of electoral votes
certain to be counted for the Southern
candidate but if the election were by
general vote, we should have an indefnit,
Southern majority reaching any size tina
might be needed to overwhelm the North.

4 GIance at Montenearo.

An English lady has been looking
about Montenegro, and her reports are
not very lattering to the insurgents.
Her sympathy is with them and against
the Turks, but the pictures she draws of
the people and their savage manners are
not very fascinating. They are heroic,
no doubt, and full of patriotism, but one
can hardly call them interesting, or care
to have them as intimate associates. She
found the women in Montenegro in an
utterly degraded condition, only two of
them able to read and write. These
were the wives of the Prince and of the
President of the Senate, and even they
have to do the HOUSEHOLD cooking and to
wait at table. The women in general do
all the hard work in the fields as well as
in the house, and the men touch none
of the burdens even with their fingers.
She saw women staggering under heavy
loads while the men walk behind then

grow unpruned will make trunks of enor-
nous size, and probably last fifty years,
while the same willows annually cut down
for basket-making purposes die out in
twenty-five, and hardly ever make a
trunk of more than a foot or SO in diam
eter. Knowing then, how pruning
weakens, We apply the knowledge to
hedge culture. We want to weaken it
after it has been made into a perfect
hedge, but not before. For a few years
we desire to give it all the vigor possible.
This is obtained by letting it entirely
alone. In this way the roots become very
strong after a growth of four or five years.
Then in the winter, or in the spring be-
fore the leaves have pushed, W. saw or
chop it off close to the ground. The re-
suit is mass of strong, vigorous growth
which surprises every one. 1t can be
moved into shape with a scythe the next
summer, and a perfect hedge is made at
small cost.

The Montenegrins.

The Montenegro mountaineer and
warrior is a man six feet in height with
grave, thoughtful face, singularly con-
trasting with his quick v gait.
He has high cheek bones, like an Amer
lean l. dian; his eye is black and pierre
ing, and his shoulders have a slight stoop
produced by constantly bending forward
as he ascends difficult heights. He is
perhaps the most agile human being on
European soil: there is no haunt of the
chamois which he cannot follow; and
even the goats sometimes hesitate to
go after their shepherds when there is a
dangerous path to be crossed. The Mon
%tenegrin wOmen are often the objects OF
pity to travellers, but they claim no SYM
pathy and acknowledge no hardships.
Their destiny is to work and to suffer.
They are not even welcomed into the
world, and the birth of a daughter is
regarded as a calamity. The girl grow:
up neglected and often Cursed. She
carries fagots of wood on her head that
she may earn a few coins to buy arms
for her brother. She has no youth, and
is old at twenty-five. She is married
young, and bears children while endur
ing labor in the fields, which would be
too hard even for strong men. The
woman urges the warrior to fight, loads
his guns, and dresses his wounds. Sht
is seldom beautiful of feature, and thu
coarse work which she performs soor
ruins her form.

We copy the following article in re-
gard to the death of Donaldson from the
San Francisco Chronicle, as a sample of
the sensational matter that newspapers
hard up for items will frequently publish.
Our readers will no doubt regard it as
somewhat "too thin"
Is Donaldson, the ~balloonist, really
dead? Such is the question under debate
among those cognizanto of the Professors
true character and selfish inclination, and
tits but just to affirm that a large majority
of persons knowing the man, give it to
be their deliberate opinion that although
the body of the unfortunate reporter, his
companion On his fatal voy-
age was found unidentified, and his note

corpse, Donaldson himselfis still aliveand
dwellingi in obscurity beneath IN assumed

nun invented as an attraction to his
show a marriage in mid-air with the
balloon, carrying the bridal party,
beneath Donaldson's management. On
this occasion the number of aerial voya-
gers seriously incommoded the ~aeronaut,
who, in anticipation of a disaster,
seriously informed them that in the
event of danger to his own life he would
be compelled to toss them one by one
out of the basket rather than have them
all perish. Now, neither has the corpse
of Donaldson nor the faintest yestige of
his balloon been discovered, and it is
impossible that all traces should have
persisted, when the body of the journalist
was found in good preservation so shortly
after the disaster. As clear demonstra-
ton of the Professor being in the land
of the living, it can be proved that a
lady to whom he is believed to have been
betrothed, incautiously admitted receipt
of letters from Donaldson long after the
alleged occurrence of the balloon catas.

Usefm Information.

THERE is a great deal of attention
given to what one shall eat during this
season of the year, and most generally
the green stuff from the gardens is looked
upon with fear. Even fruit is avoided
in many cases; water must be taken in
very limited quantities, etc. The truth
is that for persons in normal conditions
vegetables well cooked and ripe fruits
are the best food in this world, and pure
cold water is the best of drinks for warm
weather or any other kind of weather.
Eat and drink moderately at proper sea
sons and without fear, is a good motto
for all to follow.
THE custom of bathing in sluggish
streams after the days work is done is a
most pernicious one, and often laysfoun-
dation for incurable diseases. Often
boys are tempted to remain too long in
the water, and even in warm weather
come out thoroughly chilled; even then
if a good crash towel were employed in
stirring up the circulation upon the sur
face, much danger would be avoided
but more often the case is that no drying
is done at all, except the absorption by
the clothing. The malarious atmosphere
along the low lands breathed by persons
exhausted aud weakened by the hard
work of the day is very hurtful indeed,
particularly in places where fever and
ague is abundant. The only fit place to
battle is in the house with a tub of water
from which the chill has been taken, and
one can develop a ruddy surface by fric.

Frnif for. Fond.

Ifa child's digestion becomes impaired
and the gastric juice becomes weakened
or defective in quantity by overeating
or bad food, the whole alimentsry canal
becomes clogged and filthy, and furnishes
nests for such worms as will breed there.
In this weak condition of the system
they cannot be destroyed by the process
ofdigestion, and hence great harm comes
from them. Now, it is an interesting
fact that fresh, ripe fruit is the best pre-
v~entive for this state of things. DIR. Ben
jamin Rush pointed this out a hundred
years ago. He made a series of expert
ments on earth worms, which he regards
as more nearly allied to those that infest
the bowels of children than any other,
witha view to test their power of retain
ing life under the influences of various
substances that might be used as worm
medicines. The results proved that
worms often lived longer in those sub
staucesknown as poisonous than in some
of the most harmless articles of food.
For instance, in a watery solution of
opium they live eleven minutes; in
infusion of pink root, thirty-three min
utes; in claret wine, ten minutes; but
in the juice of red cherries they died in
six minutes black cherries, in five min
utes; red currants, in three minutes /;
gooseberries, in four minutes; whortle-
berries, in seven minutes, and raspberries,
in five minutes. From these expert
ments DIR. Rush argued that fresh, ripe
fruits, of which children are very fond,
are the most speedy and effectual poi
son for worms. In pratice this theory
has proved correct.

A SKETCH of notable visitors at the
Glen House in the White Mountains has
the following: Mr.. Charles Francis
Adams sits r~eadiDg-not the Springfield
Republican, but the New York World
on the other side of the table in the
"Gents ROOM" where I am writing. As
he gets older his remarkable likeness to
his father, John Quincy Adams. increases.
There is the same incisive nose, lipless
mouth, strong chin, ivory colored bald
head, with fringe of white hair around
its base and along its jaw. At the same
time it seems to be only a cast of the
cold Man Eloquent" There is wanting
all the fire, pugnacity and indomitable
will that carried John Quincy Adams to
the front in any representative body.
There is apparently not the slightest
trace of that fervid sensibility that sent
the blood all over the polished bald head
of the father, when he was aroused in de-
bate, until it locked like a pink and hard
ball. Fancy Charles Francis Adams, who
sits here so cool, impassive and entirely
respectable, in his dark coat and light
trowsers, tramping a couple of miles
through the wet grass before breakfast to
take a vigorous swim in the Potomac, as
was the wont of his father. He is quiet
and unasuming, but reserved and reticent
to a degree. The boarders here declare
that he has not uttered an audible word
since he has been in the house. Therei is
a Bostonian here by the name of Gardner
who is also preternaturally solemn and
silent, and the story goes that a well
known and rather fast New Yorker called
for his bill the other day, and declared
his intention to leave by the next con,
veyance. Said he to the landlord, emil.

THE most extraordinary balloon adj
venture on record has just happened to
the ~aeronauts of the Alexandra Palace
Company, London. Having attained a
height of eight thousand feet, they three
times crossed the Thames, and descended
in a large meadow near Ethan, Kent.
They were just letting off the gas when a
large bull charged them, believing furi-
ously. They threw the two last bags of
sand out of the car, and barely escaped
through the rising of the balloon. The
bull scattered the contents of the sand
bags we the ground, aud his horns, be-
coming entangled with the grapnel rope,
set the grapnel free, throwing one aero
naut out Of the car through the jerk.
Fortunately he succeeded'in clutching
the netting, and, with his companions
assistance, was hauled into the car before
it had assembled many hundred feet,
They then sailed away for a mile, and
descended in another meadow.
