A Cure for Diphtheria.

Scientific American: Take q
fiat iron and heat it a little in q
stove; on this apply a very little
pitch mot gas) tar; have the iron
hot enough to make a good smoke.
Then let the patient take into his
mouth the small end of a funnel, and
have the smoke blown through the
funnel into his mouth. Let the
smoke Ebe inhaled well into the
throat for a few minutes five OIL
six times a day. In very bad cases,
it might be well to use it oftener.
After this, let the patient lie on his
back, then break up small pieces OF
ice and put them in his mouth, and
let them go as far down to the roots
of the tongue as possible. When
they have dissolved, put in some
more; this will keep down the infia-
nation.

THE CIVIL SERVICE.
Will Hayes Revoke His Famous Or.
der?

Washington Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.
The President has been so
pressed by anxious Republican pol
iticians from Penn sylvania, New
York and Massachusetts to revoke
his civil service order, that he is re
ported to have relented at last, so
far as to allow a member of the
Cabinet print an explanation of it
in a Boston paper. 1t is under
stood that this explanation, which
Is to appear shortly, will be written
by Devens and printed in the
Boston Journal; that the substance
of it viii! be that the Presidentsonly
meant to prohibit Federal office
holders from controlling nomina-
ting conventions that they are at
liberty to do as much political work
as they please after nominations are
made, and that this explanation, or
rather revision, is TO be printed in
Boston, in hopes of saving Masssa-
chusetts to the Republicans, Penn
sylgania and New York being con-
ceded to be lost already.

Packard Stalks Behind Kellogg

The position assumed by the Re
publican majority in opposition to
the admission of Messrs. Spofford
and Eustis, the rightfully elected
Senators from Louisiana, at the
very outset of the present session,
necessarily pointed to the reopen
ing of the whole matter of the
Nichols Packard contest. The
Southern policy" of President
Hayes in It's true scope and spirit
embraced not only the domestic
freedom of the people of Louisiana,
but also the legitimate consequent
ces of that freedom, chief among
which was the right to determine
their representation in the United
States Senate. After the withdraw
al of the troops from the State and
the surrender and departure Of
Packard, il was taken for granted
that Spofford and Eustis would
take their seats as Senators, for it
was hardly questioned that the Pres
ident would have sufficient follow
ing among the Republican Senators
to render abortiYe any attempt on
the part of his opponents to OBJ
strnct the restoration of Louisiana
to her free relations towards the
general government in accordance
with the spirit of his Administra-
ton. The rights of Spofford and
Eustice are as clear as the claims of
Nichols to the Governorship, and
the converse proposition follows,
that if Spofford and Eustice may be
rightfnlly repelled from their seats,
then may the tenure by which
Nichols holds his office be again
called in question.-Knoxvi1Ie Tri6.

How to Dig Sweet Potatoes.

AS the time is near at hand for
digging sweet potatoes a sugges-
ton to farmers may be of much
benefit. 1t is this: Do not dig
your potatoes before frost. Let the
frost kill the vines thoroughly, and
then let the potatoes stay in the
ground a week or ten days, so that
the frost may be drawn by the earth
out of the potatoes. Take some
COOL weather to dry them, and put
them up carefully and you will have
good potatoes, free from rot as long
as they may last. The common
practice of digging potaJatoes be-
fore frost and putting them in heaps
before the weather becomes cold al
most invariably insures the loss in
part, if not the whole, of the crop.
The seasoning that they go through
in the ground after the frost has bit
the vines is very essential to the ma
turity of the roots as well as the
keeping them through the winter.
1t may also be added that potatoes
thus treated make the best Of seed.
as the frost does not injure their
terminating powers.

THE WAR IN TURKEY
Eighteen Thousand Men and Forty
Cannon Captured by the Rus
SLAMS at Aladja Dagh.

Eighteen thousand men and for
ty canon were captured by the Rus
SLAMS in their recent victory over
Ghazi Mukhtar. Turkish reports
of part of their army holding out IN
fortified positions on the Aladja
Dagh are unfounded. The Russian
loss in carrying Aladja Dagh is Of
ficially estimated as $l,44I killed
and wounded. The losses on other
parts of the battlefield are not sta
ted.
A Russian official dispatch, de
failing Fridays attack upon the
second Gravitza redoubt, says !;
"At the first attack the Roumanians
were repulsed before they gained
the redoubt. At the second at
tack, three foremost battalions
leaped into the trenches and vainly
endeavored to carry the redoubt.
They remained one hour in the
trenches, which gave rise to the
premature report of the capture OF
the redoubt. The Roumanians
! then Withdrew.

Death of Gen. Forrest.

Gen. Bedford Forrest, the great
Confederate cavalry leader, died at
Memphis at 1870 p. M. on Monday
last. He died at the residence OF
his brother, Col. Jesse Forrest, on
Union Street. He was the boldest
and most effective cavalry leader of
the late war, and was perhaps never
excelled in his peculiar field or roll.
He was firm, daring, quick, and
brilliant as cavalry leader, and a
most energetic, kind hearted, con
servative citizen. His death was
not unexpected. For many months
the telegraph has informed US daily
of his declining health, and weeks
ago his recovery was reported
doubtful. Peace be to his ashes,
and may impartial history yet give
him that justice which he failed to
receive while living as one of the
most honorable and kind hearted
as well as one of the most remark
able men of his day.

In the death Of DR.. w. T.. Nun
sey the country lost the greatest
preacher, in many respects, that
ever lived. He was comparatively
a young man, but he was infinitely
the most perfect painter of wierd
word-imagery in the pulpit the
world ever knew. His ideas were
expressed with a force that carried
absolute conviction, and clothed in
language that made sweetest music.
his fingers even talked and the deaf
could almost interpret his gestures.
His presence riveted attention, and
under the influence of his splendid
manners and language his auditors
were lifted out of themselves and
dragged by him into the far-reach
ing realms of thought, where he
materialized the most abstruse ideas
and problems of science so that the
people could almost feel them.
Munsey was the most prodigiously
powerful preacher, the most won
derfully gifted orator, America ever
produced He made himself from
the jump. He mastered complete
college curriculum in twelve months
without n teacher, and without
doubt it can be said that he was the
most finished scholar who ever edu-
Gated himself He killed himself
by over-study and severest mental
eXertiOn.

The bill of Senator Jones, of Ne

into dollars for his benefit, upon
the same terms and conditions as
gold bullion is deposited for coin
age under the existing laws, and be

Tr1DEN's OATH.
He Speaks in Response to a Sere-
made,
And Swears the Great National
Wrong Shall Be Righted.

New YORK, Oct. ELK Gov.
Tilden was serenaded last night.
In his speech he said: If our Brit
ish cousins find it difbcult to get a
supply of food, we have boundless
supply and a continent in which
are vast areas Of fertile soil adapted
to the use of agricultural machinery
and connected with the centers of
trade by great rivers, vast internal
seas and $4,000 miles of railway.
Why cannot the British workmen
have cheap food, our farmers good
trade and our carriers facilitate
this commerce. Commercial ex-
changes, it must be remembered, in
volve mutually. We must reform
and moderate our barbarous reve-
nue. system, and no. longer legislate
against the works of humanity and
the beneficence of God"
Mr.. TIlden endorsed the Demo
cratic State ticket, and said: 'This
election has some relation to ma
tional politics, in regard to which
you expect that l should make some
observations. You are aware OF
the result of the contest in 1876"
A voice-"You were robbed"
Tilden (sxcitedly)-"I did not
get robbed. The people got robbed
1t was a robbery of the dearest
rights of American citizens, tae
right of free government; the right
OF the people to govern themselves
and change their rulers at will. II
the American people lie down and
consent to sacrifice the integrity Of
their control over their own Gov
eminent, they will commit wrong
not only against themselves but the
people OF every other land. One
thing l promise-one thing l swear
before the assembled people OF
America swear that the Govern
ment of America will be restored tC
the people according to the idea OF
its founders"
