SMITHS E-BUnDER.--Mr. Della
Woodland has exhibited to us q very
novel and useful device for lighting
fires. 1t consists of a small piece of
fire brick attached to a wire with q
wooden handle, fitting into tin tube
or case, containing coal oil. The fire.
brick when not in use, is of course sus-
pended in the kerosene, and is sufi-
GENTLY saturated, when needed, to burn
with a steady fame long enough to
kindle any ordinary fire. Mrs. Moses
Hurd, formerly of this place, is the
agent for Oregon and Washington, and
Mr.. Woodland is authorized by her to
take orders in this place, We predict
ready sale for this useful little. article.

WANT WE PROPOSE TO DO.

We believe that the time has come
when an oarnestand united effort should
be made for the preservation of our To-
cal interests. The exigency is impor-
tant, and demands individual effort.
Soon the provisions of the bill author
izing county aid in building railroad
will become absolute, and the herculean
efforts of our Delegate in Congress and
all the labor incident to thorough cam
vass of the county to obtain favorable
vote, will be lost, unless the people
manifest more life, spirit and enthusi-
asm than they ever have before on this
Or any other subject.
To aid as far as lies in our power the
advancement of our beautiful little
town, We propose to issue, on or about
the 2Sth inst, daily newspaper, to be
called the OLYMp1AN, and devoted espec-
tally to those interests. The proprietor
ship OF the new journal will be held
jointly by the publisher of the Courier
and ourself, and no labor or expense
will be spared to make it fair repres-
entative and advocate of our town and
people. 1t will be furnished to sub
scribes at Is cents per week, and ad-
vertisements will be inserted at the low
est living prices.
While we regard the enterprise
somewhat as an experiment, and while
it is designed more to promote great
public good than to subserve paltry
selfish purposes, we expect that the
public will appreciate the motive which
prompts the enterprise, and accord q
liberal support. We want q large list
of subscribers and several columns of ad-
vertising, and if these with rigid econ
omy barely pay the cost of publication,
it shall be a fixture for at least six
months. We are content to work for
the interests we hold in common with
the people, and to rise or fall with them.
This enterprise is not inaugurated to in
terfere with any other mans business.
Every journal has its appropriate orbit,
and it would lie folly for it to attempt
to describe any other circle. Live and
let live" shall be our motto, and to
furnish creditable daily newspaper the
constant aim of the publishers.
We shall enter upon the enterprise
at the earnest solicitation of several of
our business men. We invite others
during the coming week to express their
opinions on this subject, or to make
such suggestions as they believe will be
of service in fully occupying the field
of operations chosen for the DAILY
OLYMp1AN.

AS some Of our people are suffering
with this disease, we give tAe following
from Halls Journal of Health, for their
benefit: To cure fever and ague. take
twelve grains Of c%uiEine at one dose
about an hour before the chill is ex.
peeted. Just oDe week from that hour
take another twelve grains of o%uinins.
The disease will seldom return. This is
the dose for an adult. Children should
take smaller doses, according to age.
The reason that decided doses of quinine
cure fever and sgue seems to be that the
disease receives a shock which breaks it.
Small doses of q%uinine Only hold it in
check during the time the medicine il
being taken; as soou as it is suspended
the disease usually returns, Hence the
popular notion that the q~uinine only
feeds" the disease. The FAULT is not
with the medicine, but in the manner OF
administering it. While we do not be-
lieve in encouraging the employ ent of
medicine, we are bound to say that qui.
nine, periodically administered has
proved the only dead shot for fever
and sgue in our practice.

this will be understood to have made uD

thing in Rachel was the way in which
she looked at you. Beneath the rounded
arch of her eyebrows and in the depths
of her deep and gloomy caverns her
black eyes seemed to slumber under
their long lashes; bat on a sudden the
eyelids would lift, the eyes flashed like
lightning, and darted like the thunder
bolt. Nothing, by any possibility, could
be more sudden or more terrible. The
forehead seemed to glow, the word rushed
from the lips, and the audience trem-
bled. What was it that produced tbia
extraordinary effect? What, indeed?
Her eyes had opened, her mouth had

gestures we're all quiet in the extreme.
But then her smallest word was like a
blow, her least gesture told, and her look
ives far more powerful than if IL had
been more violent. And the same thing
with her voice. No shouting or noise
but subterrarean explosions, distant
thunder rolling nearer and nearer, and
at last exploding through the clouds in
thunderbolts which never missed their
mark, and-more important stin-Beyer

Indian Sweating Trea.ment.

Letter to Detroit Free Press
While coming down the Rosebud
through the deserted Sioux villages.
noticed the remains Of a great mgnv
sweat or medicine tepees, or lodgee.
which shows that tho Sioux must have
had a great many wounded 10 the Bose
bud and Little Horn battles. Their
treatment for sickness or wounds consists
almost entirely il the sweating process
very much like cur modern Turkish
baths. The sweating treatment is per.
formed by placing the patient-uo mat.
ter what the disease may be-under a
small wickeswoFk frame, covered almost
alright with skins. Hot stones taken
from a fire near at hand are then passed
in to the patient, who places them in a
small hole in the ground ia the center of
a sweat house or tepee. A pail of water
is then passed in aud poured on the al
most red-hot stones. From this an al.
most %suff0cating hot steam arises, which
soon produces a profuse perspirauoa.
The patient is then taken out and
plunged in the cold running stream near
at hand, or in winter rolled in q snow
bank, the patient all the time being in q
nude condition. This treatment is. Of
course, as a rule, fatal in smallpox or
@fevers. 1t may be termed heroic.
