A SPECIAL telegram to the st. Louis
Republican ofyeslerday from Springfield,
said that in all probility there would be
no coalition effected between the Demo-
Gratis and the Independents, and that
this prospect had made the canvass on
behalf Of candidates more brisk.

"Farnsworth seems to be in the lead for
governor, with Brown close up. Palmer

run, and Allen and Glenn are bringing up
the rear for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. Doc.
N. X. Casey OF Pulaski seems strong,
with 4. L. Conkrite of Stephenson

A Hard Breakfast.

In ante bell,ln1 days an old fellow
named Thompson kept a hotel in Atlanta,
of whose quiet humor and frolic many
stories are told. But once Thompson
allowed himself, as he afterwards said,
to be caught mapping. AT all events he
met more than his match.
A wayfarer called very late for his
breakfast. The meal was hurriedly pre-
pared from leavings not over abundant.
Thompson, feeling that the meal was not
quite what it should be for public
house, made all sorts of apologies in an
indirect and roundabout way but the
guest paid no attention. He piled his
knife and fork in silence, not intimating
in the remotest manner that he recog-
nized the presence of the host. This
apparently sulky demeanor vexed the
landlord, and, probably smarting under
the knowledge that his table was not a
credit to bis house, he allowed himself
to become exasperated. In his wrath
he stuck his thumbs into the arm-holes of
his vest, and, swelling himself to his
utmost proportions, he exclaimed
"Now look here, stranger, confound
me if 1 hain't made all the apology
necessary-and more, too, considering
the breakfast, and who 8 eating it. II
you don't like my ways you can leave.
Perhaps you don't like your breakfast
Let me tell you, I've seen victuals ol

served, enough sight. +"
The wayfarer laid down his knife and
fork, wiped his lips with his bandana
and, looking benignly and blandly, he
said

"Well, I'm blamed, old boss, if yor

Diphtheria and Its Cure.

A small quantity of either sulphate of
iron, tannin, or chlorate OF potash, put
dry upon the tongue, and allowed to dis
solve there, once in every hour, have all
been found to be most efficient rem
edies in the early stages of diphtheria.
This terrible disease appears under three
varieties of forms 1st. There is a
fever, severe pains in the back, bones
and limbs, and very great prostitution.
There may be no soreness OF the throat,
but, on examining it, small white specks
will be noticed on the tonsils, but few
or none on the rest of the throat. These
cases will recover under any and every
variety of treatment in four to six days.
The great, but false, reputation of many
remedies and physicians is based upon
the necessarily favorable results of these
cases. I'd. Large patches OF false
membrane will be observed, both on the
tonsils and back of the throat; but the
glands OF the neck do not become swol-
len. The majority of these cases will
also recover under very simple treat
ment, unless the disease extends down to
the wind-pipe, which it rarely does. 3D..
True malignant diphtheria, with swelling
of the glands of the neck and under the
jaw; profuse and often offensive exuda-
tons in the mouth and throat; more OF
less discharge from the nostrils.
Chlorate of potash is disinfectant as
well as curative remedy, and, if given
pure and dry upon the tongue, every
hour, night and day, will rarely disap-
point the practitioner. A small dose,
every night, may act as preventive
remedy. Sometimes tannin may be
given more readily than the chlorate oi
potash. The sulphate of iron is rather
more irritant, and must be in smaller
quantities. The main points in the use
of the remedies are to give them dry
upon the tongue, and frequently and
regularly, both by night and day.

A Spiders Terrible Bite.

Fl. f. Jewell, son of the late John
Jewell, of Kiskatom, who was killed
while bravely fighting in Virginia dur
ing the war, and whose mother and Sis
ter live in Catskill, was recently bitten
by tarantula, or poison spider, in Ari-
zona, where his home now is. These
animals vary in size from dollar to that
of the palm of the hand, and the poison
of their bite is more fearful and deadly
than that of the rattlesnske, so that few
recover from it. Prussic acid and am
monia were injected into his system
through the wound he was filed with a
mixture of lard oil and brandy, so that
he was unconscious more that forty
hours, and was kept drunk six days to
counteract, by alcohol, the poison IN
time, blisters from it having come out
on his body. He writes that he is now
apparently free from the poison, but is
nervous and weak, as he well may be,
from the effects of the poison, or MS
forced debauch, or both. As Mr.. jew
ell is but 26 years old, and has strong
and vigorous constitution, it is hoped
that he will soon be well.-Hudson (N.

A Cats Deadhead Ride.

Last Friday, when the carmen were
examining the S:45 a. m. train on the
Lehigh Valley railroad at Bethlehem, a
black cat was found complacentfy sitting
on the rear platform truck, between the
springs under one of the coaches 1t
was evident her catship had come from
Philadelphia. The railroad officials tried
to drive her from her hiding place, but
puss held her own. The passengers all
siding with her, she had but little trouble
in remaining, and so rode peacefully to
Waverly, distance of 245 miles. At
each and every station between Phila-
delphia and Waverly numbers OF passen.
gers would get out, and with the loiter-
ers around the depot view the cat, while
the more charitable passed food to her,
which she ate with relish. At Waverly
the feline was removed from the truck
and put in charge of the drawing room

Fun.
AN Irishman, lately landed in New
York, was searching for two of his
brothers, whom he had not heard from
since they left the old country. One
day, while walking near locomotive
works, he arrived in front of large
boiler, on which was printed, in large
letters, "Patented 1870" On this
catching the eyes of the immigrant, he
exclaimed, "Hurrah 1 have found

A Daring Weasel.

A Bridgeport family were the recip-
tents of a singular visit few days
since. The lady, whose rooms were in
the third story. went into another part
of the house for few minutes, leaving
her infant in the room asleep, and her
pet canary upon the floor under his
cage, enjoying his morning bath. Upon
her return she found in one corner of
the room weasel that had entered
through the window in her absence, and
was engaged in making breakfast Of
the bird. The windows were open, but
the blinds we're closed, and the proba-
bility is that the little animal assembled
a tree near the house and sprang upon
the window-sill, forcing his slender
body through the spaces between the
Stats of the blinds. The weasel was
killed. The old ladies say that the child
would have been the victim had the
bird not been in the heroom.-NeW Haven

A Maine Mans Freak.

For sensation of the serio-comic or
der, the town of Saco, Me-, is now pre-
pared to furnish an excellent illustra-
ton. A young man belonging to the
United States navy returned home one
day last week, and, before meeting his
wife, learned that she was about to go to
the Centennial Exhibition with another
man. He Immediately plackened spot
on his breast soft coal, pierced vein
till it bled, proceeded to the
house with revolver in his
hand, eutered the family room with his
bleeding breast exposed, discharged q
revolver under his arm and fell to the
floor as if dead. There was great con-
sternation in the household for a few
moments, which was then followed by q
storm Of indignation at the fright the
man had caused.

GOING TO SCHOOL.
BY GEORGE COOPER.

He helped her over the meadow brook,
While her feet she timidly set
Twin lilies they were y on the mossy stone
With the cooling ripples wet.
They passed the brook and 1t seemed TO sing
With a sweeter, merrier sound,
As the two with their school-books wandered on
Ger the clover laden ground.
o little maiden how fair you were
With your eyes of heavenly blue;
And the dimples played on your cheeks, as play
On rose the drops Of dew.
As play on q rose the drops of dew,
When the breezes merrily blow
And your lips they were tints of the ripeninl
peach,
In the mornings ruddy glow.
Bare feet how they twinkled among the grass
Did you 4lnow whenever you took
The path for school, that he waited for you
By the w.llow-shaded brook?
Since then, the fragrant blossoms have come
To the boughs, all many time;
And bridge is over the brook that sings,
AS of old, its pleasant rhyme.
And two are straying upon the bank
AS pen these wandering words
And they talk of the happy school-day time,
And they watch the building birds.
But stream there is with grander how,
With a sterner, sadder song:
And lovers will cross to a different school,
And help each other along

Sow Wheat.

We would recommend our farmers
to plant q few acres 10 wheat, this
year, and try the experiment. AL
though We have no Flouring Mills in
this section, the wheat will make the
more nutritious bread without the
boiling, and the mills in common use
throughout the country will serve
the purpose until more complete ap-
paratus can be constructed.
1t is q curious fact, and one that
house-keepers may be disposed to
disbelieve, it is nevertheless, a fact.
that the bran rejected from tho -four
is nearly four times as nutritious as
the aour. "Wheat four" says a GEL
ebrated Chemist, "from tho Mill,
consists mainly of Starch, the blood,
flesh, and bone, forming materials OF
elements Of the grain, are rejected in
the bran, because Of the ignorat opin.
ions Of other generations" Accord.
ing to this authority, the bran from
the wheat, which is carelcssly thrown
away, is Of more importance than the
-four itself. Any farmer in this Sec
ton could plant three or FIVE acres in
wheat, and with a little care and at
tention, he would have sufficient for
all his wants. It is true, the bread
made in the manner spoken of above,
would not suit the fastidious tastes Of
house wives, who have been accus-
toned to bread blanc CONNIE Ia naige,
yet after they would set into the hab-
it Of using uubolted -four, nothing
would induce them to change, for or.
binary daily use. Tryi it.

Organization.

Time is passing, We are marching
on to important events, and still we
take no steps towards organization.
Is it possible that our people have
lost their interest in the importance
Of the coming election' Now gen.
tlemen of tho country wards, you
have as much at stake rs any Of US,
and as the complaint has been made
that the town always wants to con-
trole everything, and every body.
You can come forward and shape this
canvass to suit your own ideas, for
the "Town clique" has no disposition
to absorbe all the Offices, nor are they
disposed to undertake all the work.
There exist throughout the country a
feeling of antagonism to the town,
which is all wrong, and without any
just cause. The town does not de.
sire to arrogate anything to herself,
nor does she wish to dictate any
course Of action for the gentlemen Of
the country to follow, but she does
desire to see the party thoroughly or.
ganize and put on a sound footing,
prepared for the work before them,
and in expressing this desire, they
can all truthfally say, "They have
no friends to reward, nor enemies to
punish, in their own ranks" but are
willing to meet the gentlemen from
the country to freely discuss the plans
Of the campaign, allowing no selfish
motives, for moment, to tinge or
tincture their acts, and with an eye
single to the great aim in view, they
will work earnestly and harmonious:
ly to the final completion Of the task
set before them.
We would, therefore, beg Of the
country gentlemen to discard any
idea they may haze of the "town'
wishing to appropriate anything to
its self, for it is certainly doing a
great injustice. '
