aid writes:
!. herewith append a recipe, which
has been used, to my knowledge, in
hundreds of cases. 1t will prevent or
cure the smallpox, though the pit
tings are filling. When Jenner dis
covered the cow-pox in England, the
world of science hurried an avalanche
of fame upon his head !; but when the
most scientific school of medicine in
the world-that of Paris-pubiished
this recipe as panacea for smallpox,
it passed unheeded it is as unfailing
as fate, aud conquers in every in
stance. 1t is harmless when taken
by a well person. 1t will also cure
scarlet fever. Here is the recipe Ills
have used it, and cured my children
of scarlet fever; here it is as l have
used it to cure small pox; when
learned physicians said the patient
must die, it cured: Sulphate of zinc,
one grain; digitalis, one grain; half
a teaspoonful of sugar; mix with
two tablespoonsful of water. When
thoroughly mixed, add four ounces
of water. Take spoonful every
hour. Either disease will disap-
pea: in twelve hours. For a child
smaller doses according to age. Ii

The New York Times gives the fol-

The New York Times gives the fol-
lowing reasons why Americans should
expect good times:
l. Our population was neyerso large
as it is now.
2. There was never before SO much
land under cultivation in these United
States, nor such u large aggregate of
produce raised.
3. There were never greater facili-
ties for transportation.
4. Our wheat, corn, provisions, but
ter, cheese, petroleum, cotton, silver
and other products have been bringing
cash at fair prices.
There is plenty of money to be
had at a moderate rate of interest, as
soon as the owners consider it safe to
lend.
8. The hard times have been the
best times we have had for revivals of
religion and temperance.
z. The whole Nation has been prac-
tically. economiziug.
B. The state of exchange with other
countries in such as would enable us
to restore specie payments now if we
choose.
8. Our political troubles are over
and an era ofgood feeling is returning
60 this long. divided and distracted
country.
All these reasons combined lead us
to anticipate the return of good bust
ness generally, and gradual rise in
values of nearly all kinds of property.

BURFING A FORT.

Quite an original method of taking a
fortis described in Blackwood' 8 magazine.
In 1896, a large Russian army besieged
the Turkish fort of Azof, which was sit
lated on plain, strongly fortified, and
had a small but well disciplined garri-
son. No common approaches could be
made to it, and the Turkish cannon
swept the level with iron hail. In this
case the engineering skill of the Russians
was baffied, but general Patrick Gordon,
the right-hand man of Peter the Great,
and the only one for whose death 1t Is
said he ever shed a tear, being deter
mined to take the place at'any cost, pro-
posed to bury it with earth by gradual
approaches. He had a large army; the
soil of the plain was light and deep and
he set - 600 men to work with spades,
throwing up a high decentralization of
earth wall before them in advance. The
men we're kept in gangs, working day
and night, the earth being thrown from
one to another like the steps OF stair,
the top gang taking the lowest place
every half hour in succession. In five
weeks the huge earth wall was carried
forward nearly one mile, until it rose TO
aud above the highest ramparts, and the
earth began to roll over them. This
cansed the Turkish governor to hang ont
the white flag, and give in. Had ne not
done so, general Gordon would have
buried the fortress.

MISERS.
1reodotes Of Tteo Torsh ippcrs OF Nam
mon.

anecdotes Of Tteo Uorshippcrs OF Nam
mon.
The true miser loves to look at his
gold in which he finds more beauty than
elsewhere exists in the universe; conse-
quently, when Sir William Smith,
wealthy English miser, was, at seventy
years of age, deprived of his sight, he
felt it to be terrible afiliction. He
was persuaded by Taylor, the celebrated
oculist, to be couched who was, by
agreement, to have sixty guineas if he
restored his patient 10 any degree Of
| sight. Taylor succeeded in his opera
ton, and Sir William was enabled 10
read and write without the aid Of spec
/ tacles during the rest of his life. But
no sooner was his sight restored, than
the baronet began to regret that his
agreement had been for so large a sum ::
he felt no JOY as others would have felt,
but grieved and sighed over the loss OF
his sixty guineas. His thoughts were
now how to cheat the oculist; he pre-
tended that he had only glimmering,
and could see nothing distinctly; for
which reasen the bandage on his eyes
was continued & month longer than the
usual time. Taylor was deceived by
these misrepresentation, and agreed to
compound the bargain, and accept twen-
ty guineas instead of sixty. Yet Sir
William was an old bachelor, and had
no one to care or provide for. AT the
time Taylor attended him, he had a
large estate, an immense sum Of money
in stocks, and thirty thousand dollars in
the house.
When the government desired TO
borrow a large sum of money from the
immensely wealthy miser, Foscue, he
refused the loan on the plea of poverty.
Fearing, however, that some of his
neighbors, among whom he was very un-
popular, would report his immense
wealth to the government, he applied his
ingenuity to discover some effectual way
of hiding his gold, should they institute
a search to ascertain the truth or false
hood of his plea With great care and
secrecy he dug deep cave in his cellar
to this receptacle for his treasure, he de
scended by ladder, and to the trap
door he attached a spring lock, so that
on shutting, it would fasten of itself.
By and by the miser disappeared; in
quiries were made; the house searched;
woods explored, and the ponds were
dragged, but no Foscue could they find ;
and cossips began to conclude that the
miser had fed with his gold to some
part where, by living iacognito, he could
be free from the hands of the government.
Some time passed on; the house in
which he had lived had been sold, and
workmen were busily engaged in its re-
pair. In the progress of their work they
met with the door of the secret cave,
with the key in the lock outside. They
drew back the door, and descended with
a light. The first object on which the
lamp reflected was the CHASTITY body of
Foscue, the miser, and scattered about
him were heavy bags of gold and pom
derous chests of untold treasure can
dIestick lay reside him on the floor.
The worshipper of mammon had gone
into his cave to pay his sdevoirs to bis
golden god, and became sacrifice to his
devotion.

R.IICHENOUR'S PERIL.

Al Extraordinary Encounter Siagle-
Handed ,CiM Forty Indians.
The particulars of a desperate fight
between a doctor name Tichenour and
band of Sioux Indians, numbering about
forty, at what is known as the cone"
at the mouth of Sand creek, sixtv-fve
miles west of Ness POstoffice, Ness coun-
ty, in the western portion of the state,
were received at Fort Leavenworth last
week. The doctor and a companion
named Dicdenso were ont poisoning
wolves, and had built temporary dug
OUT in which to store their skins and
provisions. 4 few days previous to the
appearance of the redskins Dickenson
had taken the wagon and gone to the
settlement alter provisions. The doctor
was asleep in the, hut on the third morn
ing after Dickinson departure March A.
when he was awakened by slight noise
at the door. Think the intruder might
be some animal, he took bis gun and
went to the door. Upon opening it he
was confronted by burly Sioux brave,
but it still being dark he could only dis
tinguish the outlines of the form. He
demanded his business, when the brave
turned and fed and as the doctor step
] ped outside to get a shot at him he was
