OSmOse Plan for Blisters.-The re-
mOval of infilteration of the skin is
easily accomplished, according to NJ.
Ungerer. by Osmose. He had occasion
to prove this lately in having to treat
an extensive scald on the hand, which
resulted in large and exceedingly
painful swelling without wounds. Cold
water treatment for 12 hours did not
relieve the swelling in the least, and
the pain was almost unbearable when
the hand was removed from the water
only a few seconds. He, therefore
made diffusion experiment, dipping
the hand in saturated salt solution,
ard the success was surprising.
Though the salt solution had not the
temperature of the ice water, pain di-
minished almost Immediately, and in
4 hours blister and pain were both en-
tirely gone. The hand next day diff
fered from the other only by very
slight swelling aud redness.

BLACKBERRY FRrrTERs.-Are made by
mixing a thick batter of flour and sour
milk or cream as for pancakes, only
quite stiff. Ii cream is used, allow one
more egg than for sour milk, then stir
thick with berries. Have ready kettle
of hot lard, dip tablespoon into the
lard, then take out spoonful of batter
AND drop it into the boiling lard; the
grease will prevent the batter from
sticking to the spoon, and will let it
drop oil in nice oval shapes. Eat with
syrup.

Pitury, an Australian Rirdf to Coca.
Baron Won Muller, OF Melbourne, has
at length determined the botanical
source of the ''pitury," stimulant long
known to be in use by the aborigines
of Central Australia, and said to he of
marvellous power. After some years of
efforts to obtain a specimen, he has
with certainty determined them to be-
long to the order of DubOisia Hop
rOodii, bush referred to the order
sOlandeeG. In the australian Medical
journal, Baron Won Muller states that
the natives chew the leaves to invigor-
ate them during their long foot jour
neys through the deserts, Just as coca
leaves are used in South America. Ii
is carried about by them IN little bags.
1t is also employed to excite courage in
warfare. We shall probably soon hear
concerning its therapeutic qualities.

SCIENTIFIC.

Opposition to Mdchineru.-We are in
formed, says Capital and Labor, that in
an eminent coach building establish
ment, a short time ago, the principals
desired to introduce an American ma
chine for making the wheels. These,
of course, have TO be prepared and fit
ted together with the utmost accuracy;
and the machine in question secured
this so that any number of wheels could
be turned out strictly to gauge. Some
of the men engaged in this department
were ready enough to work the ma
chine, by which their own labor was
hghtened, and higher wages were Sc
cured TO them. But as the use of the
machine was contrary TO the trade
union rules, the men were ordered to
desist. The machinery was therefore
put aside. Since that time wheels
made by similar mechanism have been
imported from America, this being the
only way by which the public require
ments for light and strong wheels could
be met. 1t is curious fact that some
of the English carriages exhibited at
Philadelphia last year were mounted
upon American wheels which had been
sent over from the United States to
England, painted, and then returned
with the body of the carriages for eX-
hibition. We understand that large
numbers of wheels are thus imported,
which might have been made in Eng
land but for the insensate opposition to
the use of machinery.

AT A COUNTRY village church a few
Sundays ago, a clergyman from a dis
tance Officiated, as a special sermon in
aid of local charity was to be preached.
The reverend gentleman had selected a
hymn for the occasion, and when giving
it out, also named the tune to which he
wished it to be sung. There was, how
ever, no response from the organ
gallery, and, thinking the organist had
not distinctly heard him, he again re-
peated the name OF the tune. All eyes
were directed toward the organ-gallery
from which "clicking," "half-smothered
sound emanated. Presently the curtains
were drawn aside, and portly, red
faced person appeared, exclaiming, ''It's
no use, Eur, she won't go it! l tell you
she won't 60 it! The reverend gentle
man had not been informed that there
was barrel-Organ in the church.

BLINDS OR AwNINGs.-The Journal Of
Chemistry, in an article relative to
blinds and awnings, says that the Gus
tom which prevails with some house
keepers of closing doors and windows
in the early morning of hot day In
order to secure coolness Is most perni-
cious. The air thus obtained has the
chill and impurity of the cellar, and Is
not fit for human life. If people must
live indoors, the nearer their hablta-
tions approach the character of green
houses the better. The old-fashioned
rooted piazza is fast giving place, ex-
cept i'm houses for summer use only, to
the uncovered terrace. This latter can
be sheltered by Italian awnings from
the rays of the MONDAY sun, or from
the evening dews, or it can be provided
with light wooden frame work to sup
port canvas cover that can be easily
rolled back, like the awning over city
shop front. On the score Of expense
''ese useful devices are much more
economical than the universal blinds.
The first cost of the latter, with the
additional outlays for periodical paint
ing and repairing, will far exceed that
of their substitutes. 1t seems rather
absurd for sensible people to spend so
much money in making and glazing
windows only to spend great deal
more i'm devices for Obstructing them.
To TAKE Our GLASS SHOPPERS FROM
BOTrLEs.-Amateurs are often troubled
to do this in obstinate cases, and will be
grateful for the following practical
hints on the subject, condensed from
the Druggists Circulor:: "When only
water has been in the bottle, the best
way is to apply heat to the neck of the
bottle. To do this successfully, with
out breaking the bottle, the wick of a
spirit lamp Is trimmed so as to give a
flame of about the size of the neck of
the vial. The bottle is held i'm the flame
with the two hands and turned as
rapidly as possible, while its neck is i'm
mersed in the middle of the flame. From
time TO time the vial is taken out of the
fire, and the stopper tried. If it holds
fast, the bottle is heated again, without
loss of time, until the stopper comes
out; then bottle and stopper are allowed
to cool separately. The whole opera
ton takes generally from four to ten
seconds. In skilful hands it is invaria-
bly, successful in less time than il takes
TO explain the manipulation.

Mr., William E. Chandler, of New
Hampshire, formerly secretary Of the
national republican committee, and better
known as one Of the manipulators Of the
Florida vote in the interest Of the present
incumbent Of the executive chair, docs
not think as much Of that Incumbent as
he did. He says the sooner Hayes goes
over to the democracy the better, as he is
only an embarrassment to the republican
party" Nor did he seem particularly
pleased with John Sherman, as the follow
ing plain talk shows: A
tell you, every man who went down
to Louisiana 10 secure the vote of that
state for Hayes and then sanctioned the
abandonment of Packard is politically
damned. John Sherman is one of them.
Let mo give you bit of inside history.
About ten days before the count was fin.
ished In Washington some of us got
alarmed at the statements of Matthews
that Louisiana was to be given up, and We
determined that Hayes should be commu-
nicated with. We requested Sherman t.
write letter expressing our apprehension
and asking for an assurance Of the ground
lessness of Matthews assertions. Instead
of writing the letter Sherman set off fol
Columbus. When he returned we found
he had changed sides and had brought
with him a confirmation of our worst
fears"

The N. Y. Herald says
We will not venture to say that the

Morton, but its chances of life were GER

completing its work on the whole body.
The southern half of the republican party
is in a state of complete and hopeless
paralysis. There are sixteen OF the thirty
eight states in which the republican organ
ization has become extinct. Although it
may be premature as yet to say that the
republican party is dead there can be no
dispute or question as to its complete
death in sixteen states of the Union. 1t is
like a man whose whole left side is par
alyzed and his right side afflicted with
apparently incurable wounds. Aside from
the wounds how can this paralytic expect
to run q political race and win it? The
author of "Hudibras" gave his doughty
knight but one half of a pair OF spurs,
assigning as a reason that if he pricked
one side of his horse into gallop the
other could not hang behind. But the
converse of this grotesque maxim would
hold equally true, that if one side of the
steed stood still the other could not get
very far ahead. The same reasoning ap-
plies to a paralytic man or paralytic
party; and that the left or southern side
of the republican party has lost every vital
function is evident to those who will not
yet admit the death of the party as q

ed aud started for the same place along
with colored state senator Nash, and
United State Senator Patterson, indicted
for bribery and corruption il does seem
that the party is being rapidly thlnned out.
1t is no wonder these fellows don't believe
in the new Southern policy, adopted by
President Hayes in obedience to the will of
the people. One by one these roses fall
and as no others are growing to take their
places, the party in the South cannot long
stand this killing frost which Cancellation
brings iI its train. Somehow these fell
lows cannot appreciate policy which con-
ciliates the democrats into power and
themselves into the penitentiary. They
must surely be an unthankful race to say
the least.

A Perfect Toilet SOAP,

First among the requisites of the toilet is a good
article of Soap, but to procure 1t is not always
easy matter Many Of the most expensive Soaps in
the market are made from coarse and deleterous
materials, and their delicate colorng and fragrant
perfume too often conceal the most repulsive I'm
purities. The disclosures recently made public
regarding this subject positively startling and
deserve serious consideration. Scented Soaps are
now known to be extremely Objectionable, especial
ly If applied to the head injuring the hair, irrita
ting the scalp, and inducing severe headaches The
character ofthe ingredients may be inferred from
the statement of gentlemen who makes the scent

The difficulty of procuring perfectly pure arti-
Gle of toilet soap is at last obviated, however,
thanks to the enterprise and chemical skill of Mr.
B. I. Baobitt, of New York, the world-renowned
Soap Manufacturer whose immense establishment
is by lar the greatest of the kind in the United
States. The renown of Mr.. Rabbits various pro-
auctions has for many years been widely dissem-

crown to the numerous victories already achieved.

and for applications to the delicate skin of infants

THE contest for the political supremacy
of the United States senate which really
began 10 that body on Monday, and was
fought with such persistency all Monday
night aud Tuesday morning, away along up
to the hour for the meeting of another
days session, aud even beyond that hour,
without adjournment or allowing the pre-
Vious legislative day to expire, was one of
the most exciting in that body for many
years, aud resulted 10 "A victory for the
democrats. The question was upon the
resolution of Thurman to discharge the
committee on elections from consideration
of the credentials Of M. G. Butler, of
South Carolina, so as TO bring the matter
directly before the senate. This would
give his case precedence of Kellogg, Of
Louisiana, and this was where the fight
hogan. The republicans feared,-or, at
least knew, that should their opponents
succeed in getting Buffers case directly
before the senate. they could not prevent
his admission 10 seat, and he being seat.
ed, they believed all was lost to them-so
Tar as the future control Of the senate was
concerned. But if they could Iavert the
adoption OF Humans resolution, and so
prevent Buffers case taking precedence Of
Kellogg's, especially as the committee on
elections had, by strict party vote, re
ported that Kellogg was entitled TO
seat and Spofford was not, they could
still hope to retain control
Of the senate chamber,fOr there is but little
doubt that Kellogg would have been ad-
mitted, on the report Of the majority
committee. The prize OF contest was a
big one, aud the republicans, by every
6libustering move known TO old aud skilled
parliamentarians endeevored to avert the
disaster to their side OF the chamber. The
whole OF the Testimony in the South
Carolina presidential campaign was read,
with the evident intention of firing out
the democrats if possible-the republican
members relieving each other 10 reading.
1t was question of endurance, grit, stay
ativeuess, and the democrats stayed with
their willy opponents all night and all next
morning, and uptoR late hour in the after
noon, forcing vote finally, and achieving the
victory. The vote stood on discharging
the committee, yeas 20 to p nays. The
republicans, in the desperation of defeat,
managed to delay direct action by the
senate on Buffers credentials for one day
more by objecting to immediate considers
ton, aud Under the rules, they went over
until to-day.
