The Rev. G.. Gnachtrip, of the German
Methodist Episcopal Church says that
he tried and found the following pre-
ventive and cure for small pox: Take
one grain sulphate of zinc and one grain
digitalis (or foxglove). Put this in q
half tumbler of water and place in a
pint bottle. Leave it stand twenty-four
hours. Then put in tablespoonful OF
Orleans sugar. Shake well and then fill
up with rain water. A tablespoonful Of
this taken every morning will prevent
the disease, even though exposed to it.
When the symptoms OF small pox, such
as headache, pain In the back and fever
comes on a tablespoonful for an adult and
teaspOonful for children every half
hour will prevent the disease.

very hard, may be made by mixing equal
quantities of finely sifted wood ashes and
crushed and sifted clay, and adding some
salt and sufficient water to form 1T into
a dough, with which the cracks are coated
when the oven is cold. If this cement Is
employed instead of clay In setting new
ovens, they will be almost indestructible.

In the course Of trenchant article on
South Carolina politics, the Charleston
Journal Of Commerce OF the 9Th inst
states the following severe but luminous
fact
With these grounds of encouragement. there
is another mighty reason for making a clean
contest In South Carolina. Strict organization
is necessary to prevent Decentralization and the
desertion OF Southern men. Renegade South
erners are our most dangerous foes because
they produce division among ourselves and
paralyze efforts for redemption. The chief diff
culties In rescuing Louisiana have arisen, nc'
50 much from the carpet -baggets and Negro
voters. as from the detection Of whites OF the
state, who have helped to tefrav her for profit
The worst enemies Of Louisiana have not been
Packard, and Kellogg and Waimoth. but Judge
DureI. VIM II. Hunt. Chief Justice Ludelina
and Gsn. James Lonsstreet These deserter7
have, by their support, assistance. advice. coun-
tenance, fellowship and following. given power
to the Others to effect Their nefarious purposes.

WANTED--AM NAN.

Editor Democrat-I have read with
mzch interest the communications
which have flom time to time appeared
In your own and In the columns OF our
other daily papers, urging the claims OF
this, that, or the other individual Tor the
nomination to the high office, and In
this campaign most important position.
of Governor. Permit me to give my
views OF whom the Baton Rouge Con-
vention should nominate, and what the
Office demands
hold that the Office Of Governor has
right to man. One In every sense OF
the word q man., An honest determined,
pure, fearless, unpledged man. One
who has no friends to reward for per-
sonal service In securing him the nomi-
nation. One who can neither be bullied
nor bluffed by show OF force; and who,
as the leader OF his people, will not
allow them to be- defrauded or cheated
OF their highest Office by any Re-
turning Board, or other fraud. A man
who will not compromise the right; who
will not make any doubtful alliances.
One who would hold the honor or his
State and the rights OF his people dear
er than his life.
Such man it is the duty Of the Baton
Rouge Convention to find, and call him
forth as the leader of his people In this
most momentous campaign. Holding
this view, / have contended that it Is
wrong for any man or set OF men to seek
the election OF delegates pledged to him
or them to be sent to the Baton Rouge
Convention. This is what your CORE
spondent Fair Play" some two weeks
since, called cant and sentimentalism
in politics. He may approve OF the
efforts being made to secure delegates
pledged to this, that or the other man
| do not l regret very much to see the
high office OF Governor, and especially
in such an issue as is upon us in this
campaign, brought down into the low
arena of parish and ward politics, and
held up as prize to be given in ex-
change for parish and municipal offices.
1t is because this has been done, or
because many think 1t has been done,
that there has been SO much talk again
OF % third party movement, and we are
again threatened with such e. division as
we had in 1872.
Because the great majority OF the
Democratic and Conservative party in
this city are not willing to see their
Centennial ticket OF "Tilden, Hen
bricks and Reform supplemented in
this State and city by a doubtful ticket,
organized in wrongful manner, by
selfish schemers for q ring.
The duty of the Baton Rouge conven-
tion is very clearly defined. not only by
the action Of the st. Louis convention,
but by the necessity of the case result
ing from the nomination by the Radi-
Gals of s. h. Packard. The State needs
as a leader man. The duty OF the
Baton Rouge convention is to find him
and call him to the 'front.' ID.

Either Grant or Bristow is Infamous.
When the committee propounded the
following questions to the ex-Secretary
'Do you believe the President was In
sympathy with the prosecutions Was
he In earnest with the work as yourself
Did he encourage you to be aggressive
after he saw what was tho scope OF the
raid on the distillers ?" Mr.. Bristow
hesitated aud then declined TO answer,
saying that he considered communica-
tions between President and his Cabi-
net privileged. Now, Mr.. Bristow re-
fused TO answer these very plain
questions, either because he could
not do so without eliminating
the President. or because he desired
falsely to create the impression that tie
President was opposed to the whisky
prosecutions. If he refused to answer
because the truth would show that the
President was opposed to the prosecu-
tions, there cau no longer be doubt OF
Glen. Grants corruption. If, upon the
other hand, the President really was In
sympathy with the prosecutions and
Mr.. Bristow refused TO answer the ques-
tions simply for the purpose OF creating,
without telling direct lie, the impress
sion that he did not approve raiding
upon the revenue swindlers, then is Mr.
Bristow very dirty fellow.
