The USES OF THE LEMoN.-Few
people know the value of lemon
Juice. A piece of lemon bound up
on corn will cure it in few days;
it should be renewed night and
morning. A free use of lemon juice
and sugar will always relieve a
cough. Most people feel poorly in
the spring, but if they would eat a
lemon before breakfast every day
for a week-with or without sugar,
as they like-they would find it
better than any medicine. Lemon
juice, used according to this receipt
will sometimes cure consumption;
Put dozen lemons into cold water
and slowly bring to a boil slowly un-
til the lemons are soft, then squeeze
until all the juice is extrac ted; add
sugar to your taste aud drink. In
this way use one dozen lemons a
day. If they cause pain, lessen the
quantity and use only five or six a
day, until you are better, and then
begin again with a dozen a day.
After using five or six dozen the pa
tient will begin to gain flesh and en-
| joy food. Hold on to the lemons.
and still use them very freely for
several weeks more. Another use
for lemons is for refreshing drink
in summer, or in sickness at any
time. Prepare as directed above,
and add water In sugar; but in order
to have this keep well, after boiling
the lemons squeeze and strain care
fully; then to every half pint OF
juice add one pound of loaf or crush
ed sugar, boil and stir few minutes
more until the sngar is dissolved.
skim carefully and bottle. You
will get more juice from the lemons
by boiling them, and the prepara'
ton keeps better.

The Proposed Reamposition Of the
Income Tdr-Nr. fuckers
Figures and Logic
THE INCOME TAX.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 39,-It is stated
that Mr.. Tu cker, of the ways and means
com n it ee, has prepared statement
classifying the internal revenue receipts
for 1875 for the different sections OF the
Union. From the table it appears that
there WIS collected in the New England
States $4,000 1000; the Middle States $24-
900 600; the N Northwestern States and
Territories S43 100000; thu Sonthsrn
Middle States, including Maryland, Ken
lucky and Missouri, sat, 900 900; the cot>
ton States $2,250,000, and the Pacific
States something over $3,000,00e. The
calculation is then made that according
to wealth the New EnSlrnd States should
have pal d S14 600, 900; the Middle States
S38. 500, 600; and that the Northwestern
States and Territories should have paid
only $27, 500 600, and the Southern Middle
Statef $11 500, 900, but according to the
ssme calculation the cotton States
should have paid ST, ,00O, 900. This calcu.
latiou is made the basis OF an argument for
the reimposition of the income tax, as
showing that in the East, where there Is
the greatest aggregation Of wealth; the in
ternai revenue rereipts are so much less
than in the South and the West. The fall
lacy of this argument consists in the assump
ton that the money collected in the Wes'
aud the South is really paid by the people
eli the two sections. The great bulk of The
revenue comes from whiskey and tobacco,
The tax on these ARTICLES is paid at the
place of production, but the burden, o
course, falls upon the consumer, and the
Eastern and Middle States, which buy th
whiskey and tobacco of the Vest and tn
South, therefore pay back to the seller tn
! tax which the government has collected. l
does not look as if internal taxation wa
very onerous in the South, when this cslcu
|, lation shows that in the nine States OF Al
ALBANIA, South Corolns. Georgia, Florida
, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansa
7 and Tennessee, only $2,25os 900 were paid.

LIVE FOR SOMETHING.


Live for something; be not idle,
Look about thee for employ;
Sit not down to useless dreaming
Labor is the sweetest joy.
Folded hands are ever weary,
Selfish hearts are never gay,
Life for thee has many duties
Active be, then, while you may.
Scatter blessings in thy pathway,
Gentle words and cheering smiles.
Better are than gold and silver.
With their grief-dispelling wiles.
AS the pleasant su nshine falleth
Ever on the grateful earth,
So let sympathy and kindness.
GLADDEN. well the darkened earth.
Hearts that are oppressed and weary
Drop the tear or sympathy;
Whisper words of hope and comfort
Give-and thy reward shall be
Joy unto thy soul returning
From this perfect fountain head,
Freely, as thou freely gives
Shall the grateful light be shed.

In fact, Mr.. Chandler's creed is not
half so interesting because of what it
does as because of what 1t does not say.
Mr.. Chandler, can If he will, tell very
interesting and very edifying story
about alleged corrupt bargains and con-
spiracies, and all that sort of thing, In
connection with the Presidential contro-
versy of last winter. He was one of the
'visiting statesmen who " ent South for
the purpose of supervising the work of
doctoring the returns in the "doubtful
States" Florida was his special field of
operations, and If he will sit down and
write out full, unadorned, and abso-
lutely truthful narrative of what he saw,
heard, and did in Florida last winter. he
will undoubtedly make contribution of
the first importance to our political his
tory. His letter to the New Hampshire
Republicans, which is now before the
public, Is not only absolutely worthless,
but it is absolutely ridiculous. Mr..
ChaEdler, doubtless, before he hurled it
regarded it in the nature ofa bombshell;
now that it has passed from his control
he will probably find that it Is a missive
of the boomerang order, which will do
more injury TO himself and friends than
it will to the President and his lmmedi-
ate baekers.-Teiegrdph. ..r-..

Slauahterina Sheep in Colorado.

Another wholesale Strengthening of
sheep, the particulars of which we find
in the Pueblo (Colo.) Chieftain, took
place Monday night Feb. Goth, at
Whites ranch, about six miles from
Pueblo. A flock consisting of about
sixteen hundred improved sheepbelong-
ing to Bartels brothers of Pueblo, were
on Monday evening, placed in the cor
raj as usual and the herder went home,
his house being located about a half
a mile from the corral. In the morn
ing he discovered that from seven to
eight hundred of the animals had been
killed during the night, some of them
by poison, while others were beaten to
death with clubs, their threats cut and
the flock mutilated in other ways. A
number were found alive with their legs
broken, horns knocked off, etc. Apor-
ton of the sheep were driven from the
corral down the river, where some sixty
or seventy head were found dead and
others still alive, though very far gone.
Some bran, supposed to have been mix
ed with strychnine, was found in the
corral and also some salt. From the
footprints found in the neighborhood it
is supposed that four men and a boy
were engaged in the work. AL wore
overshoes. They were trailed down to
the river but their footprints were OBJ
liberated by the feet of the sheep still
alive. The Bartels will lose about
