De ez serene ez May mornin. The
Dlmocratlc party alluz wuz owned by
the South afore the war, and the South
hez chattle mortgage onto it yit. Til
den ez just ez much our man ez he wuz
doorln the fratrisidle trouble, and eny
Congrls wich supports him we kin bet
our bottom dollar on.
Ihe moment it got noised abroad wat
we wuz considerin, the entire reform
poperlashun NV the Corners came rush
III IN with claims. Every man who lost
hill Nv potatoes, or fence rale, or q
chicken dovrin the unholy struggle, put
IN his bill, and for couple of days it
Wuz lively. Ez he'd to make out the
bills, OWN to the inability Nv the re
formers to write, charged EN- half q
dollar apiece. Iwood hev made good
thing Nv it eff the reformers, groanin
under the evils Nv tacksashen and an
lrredeemable currency, he'd happened
to hev he'd half dollors, which they
didn't.
The loosenis with which they made
out their claims astonished even me.
Men who he'd never owned even mule
put IN claims for a dozen bosses each,
oAo OI61lmS WuZ ul0Q 1OG onLlu C01CK6nS
and potatoes to hev fed Ireland and the
Yoonlted States for forty yeers.
The Corners and vicinity will receive,
ct the Reform party succeeds. nearly
million Nv dollars, wich will put us on
our feet agin, pertickerlerly ez we don't
pay dollar Nv the taxes fur it.
Now that this is ashoored, the Cor
ners will do good work for Tilden and
reform. Ez Kentucky is certin to go
right, anyhow, over a hundred of our
staunchest reformers hev volunteered to
go over into Injeany to vote in October,
for the moral effect of a sweepin tri-
umph in that state-that is, eff the
money is forthcomin to pay their ex-
penses. The Corners will go anywhere
of its expenses is paid.
Antlssipatln the eleckshus Nv Tilden
and the payment of the Southern war
claims, Bascem has extended our line
Nv credit at his bar. Thus some good
comes out Nv the struggle we hev
suthln tangible. Heven help on the
coz NV reform.

TiIden and Hayes Contrast.
From the Sioux City Journal.

Everyone must have observed the re
cent discussions in the newspapers of
both parties relative to Tilden's income
tax OF 1862, and also the listing of per-
sonal property by r. B. Hayes to the
Ohio assessor after the death of his un-
Gle Birchard. The one case came to the
knowledge of the public because Sam
uel J. Tilden had made two afhdavits
contradictory to each other; and,
therefore, he is a perjurer by
his own showing and by his
own cognovit. So Tilden's &C
cuser is really Tilden himself. The
other, in relation to Gov. Hayes, comes
to the knowledge of the public through
correspondent of the Chicago Times,
everywhere recognized as one of the
most disreputable and unreliable jour
mails in America. Voters should bear in
mind that this is the mode by which, we
may say, the inner life of the two candi-
dates for the Presidency has been re-
vealed to the people, Now, note the
difference in the action of these two
men, under similar circumstances, and
charged with similar grave crime
that of perjury.
Though four weeks nave elapsed
since the grave crimes charged IN
| the New York Times, Tlden has not

Why we Cough.

An Italian investigation nas been
studying the cause of coughs and has
come to the conclusion that they are
the result of the presence of a parasit-
ic fungus in the air passages. In Sc
we're cases the parasite multiplies and
takes possession of the lung cells.
Quinine is said to possess the power of
stopping the microscopic fungi, and is
therefore recommended as a remedy.
The Italian doctor has successfully
used powder composed of the chlor-
hydrate of quinine, one part; bicar-
Donate of soda, one part; gum arabic,
twenty parts. The soda is intended to
dissolve the mucus, the gum arabic to
increase the adherence of the powder
on the bronchial passages. The blow
ing in of the powder should take place
during a deep inspiration of the pa
tient, so that it may penetrate the
windpipe, the chief seat of the micro
scopic fungus. The remedy, what
ever may be the truth Of the theory
on which it is founded, has the merit
of simplicity, and if it's application
did little good, it could not do much
harm.

HOW to Breathe Properly.

Most people breathe properly, often
more by accident or instinct than by
design, but on the other hand hundreds
of thousands do not breathe properly,
while many thousands at this present
moment are suffering from more or
less severe affections of the lungs or
throat, owing to faulty mode of re-
spiration-in other words because they
breathe through the mouth instead of
through the nostrils. The mouth has
its own functions to perform in con-
nection with eating, drinking and
speaking; and the nostrils have theirs,
namely, smelling and breathing. In
summer time the error of respiring
through the mouth is not SO evident as
In the winter season, when it is I'M
doubtedly fraught with danger to the
person who commits the mistake. If
any one breathes through the natural
channel the nostrils, the air, passing
over the mucous membrane lining the
various chambers of the nose, becomes
warmed to the temperature of the
oody before reaching the lungs, but il
be takes the air between the lips and in
the mouth, the cold air comes in con.
tact with the delicate lining membrane
of the throat and lungs, and gives rise
to local chill, frequently ending in In
fammation. Many persons, without
knowing the reason why they are ben
Gifted, wear respirators over then
mouth in winter, if they happen to &C
out of doors. BY doing this they di
minish the amount of air which enters
between the lips and virtually compe
themselves to breathe through the nos
trils. But they could attain just the
same result by keeping the lips closed
a habit which is easily acquired, ant
conduces to the proper and natural wa.
of breathing. We believe that if PEG
pie would only adopt this simple habi
in other words, if they would tax
for their rule in breathing, "Shut you
mouth" there would be an intens'
dimunition in the two classes -namely
those of the lungs and throat. which
count many thousands of victims il
this country in the course of a singh
wear.

A Democrats Views.

Blanton Duncan, Louisville Dem
ocrat of some prominence as apolitician,
has written letter in which he ridi-
cules the idea that Tilden has any
chance of success. He says: 81 would
''rather have Mr. Cooper's chance, to-
Sc day, for the Presidency than Mr..
"Tilden's, loudly as his friends boast of
"his coming victory" AS an evidence
that his opinion is worth some
thing, h. says that as early as
the 9th of July, 1872. he
wrote an article predicting that Greeley
would not get more than 50 electoral
votes, which proved true, as he received
but 66.

Ex.COLONEL VALENTINE BAKER has
not decided to become soldier of for
tune as yet. The London Army and
Nauq Gazette says that it is not true that
he has joined the Turkish army, nor is
it at all likely that he will be called up
on to organize the Turkish cavalry, or
that he will command it. He has gone
toward, not to the seat of war, to look
around him and see what he can do.

THE CODE OF HONOR.
Two Hostile Meetings Yesterday.

There was considerable of stiff about the
streets yesterday over the report that there
was on hand two affairs Of honor to be settled
during the day. Fits not our province to push
our inquiries into private affairs, and so the
reporter of the BULLETIN did not seek to in
~esigate the matter further than to learn the
names of the parties and the result.
The first was fought in the press yard of the
Mississippi Press between two well-known
Creole gentlemen, with colichmards, and
after several passes, one was wounded in the
abdomen severely, the other in the arm.
The other affair was also between two we'll
known gentlemen, whose names we, for OBJ
vious reasons, do not desire to publish, aud
the weapons were short swords. One Of the
parties was wounded in the thigh slightly.
After these passages at arms. alb the parties
separated satisfied.

New Orleans the third Monday in February.
1t is stated that Bruce declines the Presi-
Dental invitation for q consultation with the

sion.
