Cure for Chichen Cholera,

Mr.. Joseph Stout, of Carroll county
gives the following remedy for chick
en- cholora, which he considers per-
feet cure:-"Take a hadful of white
ork bark and boil it in a quart of
water to make a strong. decoction.
After it cools mix with the liquid
corn meal to the proper consistency
to make dough for feeding, and
give to the fowls. Mix a teaspoonful
of Cayenne pepper to two quarts of
the feed. The fowls will eat this
mixture readily" His theory is that
the cholera is species of diarrhoea
and the bark and pepper acting as
astringents cure the complaint.

NUMBER is.
The Mississippi Murders.


H. V. Redfield writes as follows to-
the Cincinnati Commercial: 49, "
Mrs. Chisolm, in a letter giving
some of the details of the Kemper
county massacre, says that the Brit
ish subject, Mcclellan, who was kill
ed, had always refused to be natural
lied and become citizen of the Uni
ted States, "because it was not strong
enough to protect its citizens" Now
that Mcclellan is in his grave, BUTCH
cred by the mob at the time Of the
general killing, there is grim iron in
the old Scotchman's objection to be-
coming citizen of the Uuited States.
Living in Mississippi, he had amply
opportunities tosseea at what cheap
rate human life is held, and he had
no inclination to become citizen.
This man does not appear to have
beer especially obnoxious to the mob,
he was killed because he wetlld not
get away from the Jail door and al
low Chisolm and his family to be
slaughtered. Upon being ordered to
stand aside, he replied that he had
been put there by the Sheriff to guard
the Jail, and he would do it with his
life. Then he was shot down like
dog, and the way cleared for the
massacre of the family. None ofthe
other guards seem to have made a
show of defence.
Surely the old Scotchman's obiec-
ton to becoming citizen of the
United States seems we'll taken. The
graves of the Chisolm family is @
monument to the fact that this Gov
erment does not protect its citizens
or attemps to punish murders. It is
month now since the slaughter and
nothing is done about it. The local
authorities will not do anything and
the General Government cannot. It
is contrary to the Constitution, you
know. Can we wonder that McLel-
Ian objected to become a citizen of q
Government which neither protects
its citizens when alive, nor Furnishes
their murderers when dead.
1t is said that the British Legation
at Washinton will demand of the
Government an investigation Of the
manner of McLellan's taking off.
hope they will. Imagine such a
massacre in England and nothing
done about it!

Now, if the population of the State
be 1,070,120 souls, our people pay
SS,500,960 for liquor. about Sl,0O0,0O0
for education, and for their religion
S269,S30 that is, they think eight
times as much of whisky as they do
of education, and thirty two times
as much of whisky as they do of
Christian faith. This is a most hui
initiating confession for us to make,
and yet We are compelled to admit
its truth, for what people give their
money for they certainly appreciate.
Let us now compare the cost of spir-
itu0us liquors with some of the great
farming interests of the State. There
are 100000 bales of cotton grown in
North Carolina annually. These
bales will average 400 pounds /; at 10
cents per pound this cotton will
bring So, 900, ,0@-all the cotton grown
in the State won't pay her liquor
bill by $500 $3.50. The wheat crop of
the State amounts to 2,254, ,641 BUSH
els. at So bushel all the wheat of
the State won't pay for about half of
our liquor bill. The corn crop, which
is .1S, ,454, ,541 bushels, at 60 cents a
bushel, will bring but one third
more than is expended each year for
that which impoverishes the State,
increases her taxes and degrades her
people.-h0Jeigh ~ C) Observer.

MR.McvEAGH PUTS IN a REJOII DER.
PHILADELPHIA, Iunc 6.-Mr.
Wayne McVeagh furnh he'd the
following letter in reply to General
Butler to the press this evening:
Gen. B. f. Butler, Washington, d. c. !:
l fear you have overworked your
inventive faculties, for your long and
labored letter of today shows signs
of falling powers, and will go far to
destroy that reputation for effective
scurrility which you have so sedu-
lously fostered. The issue between
you and me was at your own seeking
and is so plain that you cannot OBJ
scure it by any amount of misrepre-
sentation, however irrelevant or
vulgar. You deliberately wrote and
publish concerning me four sheer
falshoods without particle of foun-
dation for any one of them. There
upon promptly put you on the ma.
tional pillory with a very legibIe
statement ofyour offences upon your
| forehead.
AS you have endured your punish
ment for an entire week, and now
virtually confess that every state
ment made by you was untrue,
have no objection to your getting
down, but you must not suppose that
l placed you there in resentment
only. My chief purpose was to ex'
hibit you as warning to younger
men by showing them that, in spite
of great ability and energy, you have
become the leper of our politics, by
reason of the general conviction tina
you habitully disregard the eight
and ninth commandments. That pur
pose has been fully answered by the
comments of the country upon oul
character, and l have no further in
terest in the matter. will not ever
take the trouble to deny any new
falsehood you may think it to you
advantage to indite about me, fo
those who know me will not believe
anything you say against me, anc
thoes who know you, of course. swill
not believe anything you say against
anybody.

John Wasson, who would have been kicked out, had it not been for the in- tercession, in his behalf, of R. C. McCor- mick, who is indebted to WasSon for num- crous sickening puffs. We know WaSson he is carpet-nagger; has been on every side of every question; cares for nothing but money; has no honor; no friends here or elsewhere; no regard for the welfare of this Territory and no higher motives than to pander to those in power.
