SANITARY HINTS FOR THE SUMMER.

The heat of advancing summer, to-
gether with the moisture from frequent
rains and heavy dews, favors the in
creased production OF germs and gases
wherever decomposable matter isleft ex-
posed. Nothing which can undergo pu-
trefactive decomposition should be al
lowed to remain within the vicinity of
any human habitation. In order to
avoid the bowel disturbances which an
nually begin in this month and prevail
during the two succeeding months, strict
attention must be paid to the dietary.
Avoid all kinds of rich, greasy, or high
ly-seasoned food. Avoid foods, espe-
cially vegetables, which have become too
old, as sprouting potatoes. Especially
avoid unripe fruit. Family Health an

TO CURE A FELON.

Prof. Huter, of Berlin, cures bone
felon or whitlow by first probing the
swelling of the finger, making small
incision where the pain appears greatest.
The pain of the operation may be less
ened by the local application of ether or
inhalation of chloroform. The after
treatment is equally simple. The small
wound is to be covered with lint and car
bolic acid, and bathed morning and even
ing in tepid water. In few days it is
perfectly healed.

against another. And so il is seen that
all the lives were sacrificed, and all the
immense debt heaped upon the laboring
people for nothing;for the war could easily
have been averted, and the Union made
more permanent without it, by compro-
missing spirit.
Even slavery might have been abolished
without war, as it was done in the North
ern States. Ere this it would have dis
appeared from all the States north of the
Carolinas in the form in which it had
exis' ed. But these Northern tanatical
politico-religious leaders saw there was
immense sums of money in war and its
contracts, and in conquests and confisca-
tions, and through the sale of bonds I;
and hence their eagerness to commence
and continue a conflict, the northern peo-
pie little dreamed would be so terrible
in its results and so difficult TO terminate.
Ii was to be swift and short-done up in
sixty days. That was the promise of the
men who commenced it and land was
to rise so much in value in all the States
where slavery had existed, after it was
abolished, that the difference in the price
would more than compensate for the in
vestments in negro slaves. But we will
not rehash any more of these promises
that led and betrayed the people into
taxing themselves TO dea b, and that is
to saddle their poor innocent offspring
with grinding burden for half century
to come. 1t is sufficient for our purpose
to show that the fanatics are dissatisfied
with their work, and We choose TO do it by
calling attention to an extract from the
Richmond Dispatch in reply TO the at
tacks of northern papers. This article is
cut trcm the Philadelphia Press, and that
paper supplies a head to it NEW ENG
LAND TO BE DIsFRANCHIsED, in order
TO aggrayate the mater. Ii will be found
in another column.
Now we are opposed to all these violent
TRADES that the press of one section is
hurling at the other, and fear that they
can result in no good, and must do an
immense deal of harm. 1t is ut erly i'm
possible that the six New England States
should be allowed to govern the whole
country. Heretofore these States have
made the country subservent to their own
aggrandizement, and through legislation
a stream OF wealth has been poured in
upon them, the like Of which, Gin all its
various phases was never known to
civilization in any age.

Troublesome Trade Dollars.

The Hedfhen Chinee Mutiidting them
acih Pirate Chop Marks.
WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The fact that
yearly 35,0O0,000 trade eollaas have been
coined whose special value is some ten
cents less than dollar, has led large
number of soft metal men tn accept the
idea that the passage of law making
these dollars legal tender would recall
them from China and swell the currency
by an increase of some 30,000,000 of sill
yer dollars. The recent quotation OF
trades at Hong Kong at S2I cents, which
has been widely telegraphed, has gwen
further support TO this theory, but a let
ter received here from a well-informed
source in New York shows that the num-
Der of trades which can be recalled from
Hong Kong is really very small. 1t is
the practice OF Chinese bankers on re-
ceiving any foreign coin and ascertaining
its value TO put their mark or chop on il.
A coin so defaced would not ,.under our
coinage laws, be receivable as bullion. A
cable despatch received yesterday from
Hong Kong says that there are only 700,-
600 unchopped trade dollars in that city,
and the opinion is expressed by those best
able to judge that out of the 2S,000,0 900
or 3O,OOO,OOO Of them exported to China
in the last five years, all but 100000
or 100000 have been chopped, and
therefore, under any change Of our laws,
cannot enter into our currency.

SOMEBODY has been making money
by buying gold bullion and having it
coined free by the U. S. Mints, no
doubt. This work ng for nothing for the
gold miners and gold gamblers should be
stopped. We should not be surprised II
the Syndicate had been at it. Mr.. Coe.
one of the New York bankers, says that
during the rebellion, when the New
\ ork banks loaned the government $50
100000, in five million instalments a
month, that the first five million came
back to the banks before the second five
million was due, so that in fact they
loaned S50,00O,000 with only five mil
hons in gold. Perhaps the Syndicates
have been loaning Or selling the govern
ment gold in the same way.
