Protection from Flies.

A contemporary records the discovery
of French pharmaceutical chemist who
has discovered a way to protect horses
from the attacks of flies, according to a
London medical paper. His invention
consists in rubbing the horse, especially
the parts most subject to the attacks,
with a little concentrated oil of laurel
There is not the slightest danger in its
use, and the cost is said to be very
small Another repellant suggested by
the same person is a solution Of sixty
grammes q tb 5 oz.) of assafetida in two
glasses of water and one of vinegar. If
horses be well washed with this, not a
fly will settle upon them, as the assafe-
tida drives them away. This drug has
no deleterious qualities as an external
application, and may be used unhesitat-
inUly

THE Davenport Go@ette, Gear organ,
says that Scott county will give fifteen
hundred majority for the Republican
nominees in October, if they are only
good and true men. Unfortunately, too
many of the men, of late years, who

been held in like estimate by the party
in other portions of the State, and the
case is not different this year

The dinner given by the Manhattan
Club in New York to FIX Gov Hen
bricks, previous to his departure for
Europe, afforded the late Mr. Tilden an
opportunity to ventilate his personal
griefs in being denied the Presidency.
He claimed to be the President de .jure,
and said in effect that there will not and
should not be any other politics in this
country until the "portentous wrong
of not placing him in the White House
is righted. He intimated with reasona-
bic perspicuity, that the only way to do
this is fer the Democracy to accept him
as a candidate in 1880. 1t is quite pro.
bable that he will not find the DemOcra
cy unit on this point; and it is not be-
yond bounds to say that the politics that
should consist of the claims and preten
sions of played-out political humbug
like Tilden would be the thinnest eve1
submitted to the American people.

THE question of who shall remain in
charge of the consolidated Pension
Agency at Des Moines, has been decid-
ed in favor of Gov. Cue, the incumbent
in that city, though Mr., Rich had the in

Congress, including both Senators. Gov.
Cue having possession of the Office at

For the Bulletin.
1t seems to me very strange that the
Democrats who went in with such a
vim = for the election of Tilden, and
made themselves hoarse in charging up
on his virtues, and rendered themselves
so exceedingly ridiculous by insisting
upon their old nullifcdtion doctrine of
" State rights" that it was only one of
the unconstitutional acts of the Repub-
lican party to keep troops in the South
in any way to interfere with their social
or political life; that now when Presi-
dent Hayes just carried out what the
Democrats demanded and Tilden's own
plan, that it should not speak in terms
Of high praise of the man. But no, they
still howl and try to make us feel that
in our choice we made great mistake
Perhaps we did; time will tell. We will
wait and hope on. S.
