The Scarlet Fever.

It is as unnecessary for child to die
of scarlet fever, says Good Health, as it is
that it should be blind with cataract.
Let us see: At any tinfe before the body
has finished its Intellectual struggle we
are able to help it, not by wonderful
medicines, but by the knowledge of anal-
omy and the application of common
sense. We consult the sympathetic
nerve, and do what it commands US to do.
We must give this child salt when it
wants it; we must give it acid when il
has fever-not vinegar, but lemon juice,
because the first coagulates albumen, and
the latter does not OIL account Of the sur.
plus of oxygen which it contains. To
initiate the soothing mucous in the in
testines, which is now wanting. and to
give some respiratory food at the same
time we add gum-arabic. To restore aud
relieve the injured nerve we apply moist
warmth. In practice we can fulfill all
this with the following simple manipula-
tions: Undress the child and bring it
to bed at the first sign of sickness. Give
it, if it has already fever, nothing but
warm, sourish lemonade, with some gum.
arabic in it. Then cover its abdomen
with some dry flannel. Take well.
folded bed.sheet and put it in boiling
hot water; wiring it uut dry by means of
dry towels, and put this over the flannel
on the child's abdomen. Then cover the
whole and wait. The hot cloths will
perhaps require repeated heating. Ac-
cording to the severity of the case and its
stage of progress, perspiration will com
mence in the child from ten minutes to
two hours. The child then is saved; it
soon falls to sleep. Soon after the child
awakes it shows slight symptoms of re.
turning in lination for food; help its
bowels, if necessary, with injections. ol
oil, soap, and water, and its recovery vii
be as steady as the growth of a green
house plant. if well treated. Of course,
if the child was already dying nothing
could save it. or if it has effusion III the
lining of the heart or brain it is much
better it should die. But if the above is
applied under the eyes and direction of
a competent physician. will guarantee
that not one in a hundred will ever die
of scarlet fever know this will startle
some of my readers, especially those who
have lost children already, but / shall go
still further. l maintain that child
will never get scarlet fever if properly
treated. If child has correctly mixed
blood, it will not catch the disorder il
put in he'd with sick child. This is
still more startling, but nothing is easier
of proof.

TURNING OUr.-Gen. Mattoon, of Am
herst, Mass, formerly Sheriff of Hampton
County, on staring one snowy winter
many years ago to drive to Northampton
to open Court, met a team and shouted
to the driver, Turn out! / am High
Sheriff of the county" The man pulled
bis coat-colar up around his ears and re.
piled, 81 don't care who you are; | am
in no hurry" The result was that the
General had to unhitch and lead his
horse by, while the stranger went his
way. Meeting another team before
reaching Hadley, the Sheriff tried the
same game with better success, saying,
"Turn outl I am High Sheriff of lhe
county. If you don't I'll serve you as |
did fellow I met back here a piece" !"
The man unhitched in a jiffy, put his
sleigh on the bank, and let the Sheriff
pass, and, as he did 30, called out to him,
hWhat did you do with that fellow back
there7 "Oh,' said the General, he

VALUE OF THE OYsTER.-Gov. Kemp
er, of Virginia, i'll his recent message ad'
vises tax ON oysters, and to give all
idea of the value of the fisheries he says: :
The estimate heretofore placed upon
the annual value of the oyster fisheries
cannot be successfully assaulted. 1t has
been :,scertained that in the year 1869,
six thousand five hundred and TWO vessels,
of all kinds and sizes. with al aggregate
carrying capacity of eighteen thousand
eight hundred and seventy-six tons, were
engaged in taking and transporting the
oysters of Virginia to market. In 1873
the facts were derived from local ubserva.
ton, and published, that five hundred
thousand bushels of oysters were annual
ly sent to market from Chncoteague
Island aluhe; that they were sod at
from sixty.fve to ninety cents per bush
ell; and that the cost of planting, gather
ing and marketing each bushel did not
exceed All average OF thirty cents. II
would he needless consumption of time
to cite other facts going to show that the
annual value Of all the oyster fisheries ot
the State Ia not less than twenty millions

set in active and harmonious operation

cry of this Commonwealth. This, say,
is the sentiment of the colored man as
we'll as of the white man, and, if it could

T beg that you will exert yourself to
present these things properly before our

are incendiaries and office-seekers, who,
having no real concern about US, will
scoff at the appeal, but am sure that, if
the honest and true men of our party
could know but half our unhappy condi-

CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS who
are in the habit OF taking nip" low
and then should try the following cure for
drunkenness, which is recommended by
correspondent of the New York Sun J.
unless, indeed, they are As much attached
to the ardent as was the confirmed ine-
briate who was informed that the cure
for him lay in leaving off drinking, and
replied if that was the cause he didn't
want to be cured" The remedy, if it is
remedy, is simple, and costs nothing
but slight expenditure of moral force !:
"When a person finds that he must
have drink, let him take a drink Of
water-say two or three swallows-as
often as thirst or craving manifests itself:
Let him continue this practice. His old
chums will laugh; but let him persevere,
and it will not be week before the ap-
petite for any kind Of stimulant will
disappear altogether and water will be
taken to quench the natural thirst. fiat
any time the victims should feel a crav-

and obtain a swallow of water, and he
can pass and repass all saloons. When
he goes home at night he will feel salts
fed and be sober and have money in his

Substitutes for Coffee.

To show how different mems minds
naturally run in different channels On
slight suggestions, we will repeat an
amusing conversation we once heard be-
tween an Episcopal preacher and a bon
vivant. On the occasion spoken of the
Rev. DR.. - was the guest of a wealthy
planter who had All elegant residence
about two and half miles south ofSouth
Florence, and who was notoriously hos.
pitable in that hospitable section of peo.
pie. He always kept the best of wines
and liquors in his cellar, and never failed
to say "here goes it," 1t was in the early
part of the great war, when the scarcity
of coffee had put the people to trying
various substitutes.
Rev. D.-(stirring his coffee II see.
Mr.. j., people are now drinking good
deal of rye"
Mr.. J.-"Yes, sir, rye is very good. I
much prefer it to corn"
Rev. D.-"Neither do 1 like the favor
of corn. I've tried that"
Mr.. J.--"Corn does very we'll if it is
old"
Rev. D.-"Ah! does that make diff.
ference ?"
Mr.. J.-"Why, yes indeed, it is not
fit to drink under three years old. I
have taken quite fancy of late for ap-
Pile"
Rev. D.-"Apple? why I never heard
tha; it was made from apple, but am
told that the potato makes rich and
palatabe drink"
Mr.. J.-"And 1 never heard of that.
1t must he Irish. I think I must try
some. But after all there il nothing like
good peach sweetened with little
honey
Rev. D.-"With honey? why, that is
remarkable. While l am with you, if it
is not too much trouble to have it pre-
pared. would like to taste it."
Mr.. J.-"Oh, no trouble at all. Wash,
bring the peach and honey"
The decanters were brought. when it
was discovered that each party had his
mouth set for an entirely different bev.
erage, but mutual understanding was
reached. and Mr.. j. tried the peach, while
the parson stuck to the Brazilian berry.

The NEXT CoNaREss.-There will be
very little difference in the strength Of
the parties in the next Congress, and
party lines haseto be drawn very closely
in order to prevent the House from re-
lapsing into Republication and to keep
the Senate from becoming Democratic.
The Democratic majority in the House,
should the New Hampshire elections go
against US and the Returning Board
frauds in Louisiana and South Carolina
stand, will not be more than six or seven
votes. The detection of four men, or the
sickness or absence of seven, would make
the body Republican. 1t will be abso-
lutely necessary for every Democratic
member to remain at his post during the
whole session, or the most mischievous
consequences may flow from his absence.
Judging from the votes of the presen,
House it will be the strictest party ques.
ton only that will get "a full party vote.
There has also been great change in
the composition of the Senate. Four
years ago the Republicans had full
two-thirds majority in that branch of
Congress. Last year they had forty-four
Senators and the Democrats twenty-nine
a working Republican majority of fif-
teen. On the 4,h of March next the
Senate will stand: Republicans, thirty.
nine; Democrats, thirty-four; contested
seats, three. The contested seats are
from Louisiana and South Carolina.
With regardsto SouthECarolina, We think
it may be safely assumed that even if
General NJ. G. Butler is not admitted r
new election will be ordered, and this
new election is certain to result in a
Democratic Senator. We are equally as
firmly persuaded, says the Augusta
Chronicle and Sentinel, that the seats from
Louisiana will he awarded to the Demo-
Gratis. Such action would give the Re-
publicans majority of two, and if any
of the Liberals leave them, as they may
do, the Democrats will have majority.
1t will be close shave in both Houses
of Congress-

GRENEKER IN GR1EF.-We are con-
vinced that the entire press of the State
will sympathize most deeply wi h Col.
Thomas F. Greneker of the Newberry
Herald in the crushing calamity that has
come upon him. On last Saturday night
week his chicken conservatory was ell.
tered and three fine female chickens
stolen. Such an outrage rarely occurs
even in these degenerate days, and in his
paper last week the gray-haired, grief
stricken old gentleman pours out his sor-
rows with an eloquence of utterance but
rarely surpassed. Sympathy is won.
drous cure for suffering souls and hence
this lachrymal tribute-we mingle our
tears with his and think of "the other
heart that will ache" when its loss is
fully appreciated. We had hoped thar
at the next meeting of the Press Associa-
tion our good old friend would be free
from the bodily ills under which he has
suffered for months but now cloud has
settled upon his life which the touch of
time alone can dispel. Hear him as he
soliloquizes about his "rooster's reverbe.
rating thunder" and his "six lovely pull.
lets P'
The general public will not be sur
prised at our show of sympathy when we
say that Greneker loves fried chickens
better than any other dish prepared BY
human hands, and that the robbery of
his hen house has appealed directly to
the tenderest part of his heart-his stoln-
ach. So greatly has he been moved by
his loss that he has written stanza to
the three "louely pullets" he will zee no
more forever. If his muse will ever sing
at all it is when the chickens are wasting
away with cholera or when some impious
hand robs his henroost. "Pity the sor
rows of poor old man." Will Speights

Ancient frauds Was there ever fraud
like this? In all:previous ages fraud has
succeeded only because it has been
backed by the sword, and protesting peo-
pie have been powerless to resist the force
of armed battalions. Never before now
in the history of the world has fraud
succeeded against the conscience and will
