The SULPHUR Cure,

a few years ago, when diphtheria was
raging in England, gentleman accom-
panied the celebrated DR.. Field on his
rounds to witness the so-called "won-
derful cures" which he performed, while
the patients Of others were dropping on
all sides. The remedy, to be so rapid.
must be simple. All he took. with him
was powder of sulphur and quill, and
with these he cured every patient with
out exception. He put teaspoonful of
-four of birthstone INTO wineglass of
water, and stirred it with his finger,
instead of spoon, rs the sulphur does
not readily amalgamate with water.
When the sulphur was we'll mixed he
gave it as gargle, and i'll ten minutes
the patient was out of danger. Brim-
stone kills every species of fungus in man,
beast and plant in few minutes. In
stead of splitting out the gargle he re-
commended the swallowing of it. In
extreme cases, in which he had been
called just in the nick of time, when the
fungus was too nearly closed to allow
the gargling, he blew the sulphur
through q quill into the throat, and,
after the fungus had shrunk to allow OF
it, then the gargling. He never lost q
patient from diphtheria. If a patient
cannot gargle, take live coal, put it on
a shovel and sprinkle a spoonful or two
Of flour of birthstone at time upon it,
let the sufferer inhale it, holding the
head over it, and the fungus will die
II plentifully used the whole room may
be filed almost to suftocation the pa
tient can walk about in it, inhaling the
fumes, with doors and windows shut
The mode Of fumigating room with
sulphur has often cured most violent at
tacks OF cold in the head, chest, ETC., al
any time, and is recommended in caseI
OF consumption and asthma.

The Feet.

Many of the colds which people are
said to catch commence at the feet. To
keep these extremities warm, therefore,
is to effect an insurance against the
almost interminable list of disorders
which spring out of "slight cold. u
First, never be tightly shod. Boots or
shoes when they fit too closely press
against the feet and prevent the free
circulation of the blood. When, on the
contrary, they fit with comparative loose
ness, the blood gets fair play, and the
spaces left between the leather and the
stockings are filed with a comfortable
supply of warm air. The second rule is,
never sit in damp shoes. 1t is often
imagined that unless they are positively
wet it is not necessary to change them.
This is fallacy, for when the least
dampness is absorbed into the sole, it is
attracted nearer the foot itself by the
heat, and thus the perspiration is dan
gerously checked. Any person may
prove this by trying the experiment Of
neglecting this rule. The feet will be-
come cold and damp after q few moments,
although on taking off the shoes and
warming them, they will appear quite
dry

Texas COOnists.

Bishop Garrett, of the northern Texas
Protestant Episcopal diocese, delivered
a lecture in Philadelphia q few evenings
since on Texas. He spoke chiefly of
Northern Texas, because, in his opinion,
it was the best part of the Lone Star
State for immigrants, and because he was
more intimately acquainted with that
region. Between the Trans. Continental
and the Texas-Pacitic railroads is q
parallelogram of rich land, suitable for
pioneer farmers. A belt of timber land
runs south from Texarkana, the entrepot
of the two roads west of it is the agri-
cultural belt, and still further west is the
grazing land. The agricultural belt, 200
miles wide, and running the length OF
the State from north to south, appeared
to him the finest land in the world. 1t
has black, waxy soil, impregnated with
lime, free from sand, fifteen feet deep
and productive of the staples of both
North and South. But it is hard to cul-
tivate, and, therefore, some immigrants
despair. Thirty-hve miles or so away
from the railroad, land is cheap, and il
an Immigrant has money enough to buy
a piece, station himself upon it and work
hard he will soon come out master. But
the man who goes thither should have
his 81 900 when his foot is finally planted
upon the suitable spot. II he has the
1000, is industrious and sober, he will
be independent in five years. But there
are too many poor people there now.
Texas does not want absolutely pool
people. 81 would not advise pool
people, who have only money fol-
transportation" said he, "to go tc
northern Texas, fertile and promising as
the countryis." There are no charitable
abodes for the sick and unfortunate the
immigrant should not go to that State
unless he can maintain himself until g
foothold is established. Nor should any
man who drinks go to Texas. Whiskey
will not do there. Bullets are plentiful
for all but the sober, and if a man keeps
sober, Texas is as safe place for him as
Philadelphia. "If you cannot live
without whiskey, you had better not SET
your foot on Texas sell, " said the bishop.
The kind of men to go to Texas are the
sober, horney-handed ones, with little
capital. Tradesmen with 81 900 can
locate at Sherman, Fort Worth, and
especially Weatherford, further west,
and start up successfully, but no shop
clerks, with fine apparel and immaculate
choker, are needed. 1t is amazing what
interest the people now there take il
religion. They are keen, acute, and
remarkable good judges of a sermon, sc
that clergymen with empty heads ant
cold hearts will soon find that they are
in the wrong place. The bishop con
cluded by advising all who desire tt
immigrate to see 10 it that they get trust
worthy information of land and of lane
titles. No man should go to Texas
until he has counted the cost.

Andrew Johnson, it is said, preserved
all his papers, and died leaving them in
the upper story of shop in Greenville.
Throughout his life he carefully saved
all papers, and even took to Greenville
complete files of three daily newspapers
of New York covering his presidential
term. OF kilograms alone he must have
left more than bushel in compact
form. He saved them all none were
considered of so lktle importance as not
to be worth saving. He remarked once
how little space folded letter took up,
and what small trouble to save them,
and how important they sometimes
became.
