Appeals And yet it is in
your eyes, a fearful thing for Re
adjusterS to attempt to have a
change made so that a new Su-
preme Cour.; should reverse an old
one.
Bro. Button Gays the Legi8la-
ture are usurpers, and the people
will turn them ont hereafter
Why Bro. Button, can this be you?
At what fountain have you drank,
that you have renewed your lost
confidence in the people Did
You not last November republish
and endorse the letter of McCau-
ley, avowIng that the people +
not capable of ruling?
The VRGINIAN alludes to the
divergent views taken by this Leg
islature and the one of 76-7.
Very easy explained. The one of
76-7 was a Funding Legislature,
and was afraid to trust one whom
the people would elect as theirsuc~
cesscr, and they attempted to fasten
their successors as nearly cut as
possible.
And now we should like your
attention Bro. Button a moment.
Having played this game by the
Legislature Of 80, what was to
be the next card of the Fundcrs?
Simply this: Elect a Funder Gov
ernor, who would overthrow the
work of the next Legislature and
as its predecessor had declared it
should not meet again, its game
would be mp, and the people foiled.
II you can get this Legislature
out of the way next winter, You
can boast that You and your friends
have destroyed their session of IS
II, and yOu car take another turn
of the screw on thoen 800 lands.
You have things now in so heauti>
tul a fix for your view of the case,
no wonder you wish legislation
now brought to a dead halt. You
complain that last session was
wasted. Who wasted it but the
powers with whom yOu sympa'
rhize Readjusters can say;
Shake not thy cory locks at us,
thou carst not say we did it."

Ponds Extract,

Among the many excellent Family Medi-
cines which have from time to time appeared
before the pubic, there is not one 30 generally
useful. so simple, aud so truly curative as
Ponds Extract. A glance over the long cata-
logue of ills and diseases which it Is reputed
to cure, will coaYince us, if any faith can be
placed in human testimony, that this is one of
the rarest and most useful medicines, II not
the most truly valuable remedy ever made
known. For nearly thirty years it has been i'll
extensive use among the people and profess
sion; and though its claims have been thou
sand times subjected to searching scrutiny,
yet in every Instance these claims have been
triumphantly vindiOated. Tho people, to
whom, from long use and experience it has
become Indispensable, have universally given
1t their approval; and the medical profession,
though generally slow to admit new medi-
cine, or TO indorse anything but their own
practice, have in thousands Of instances
adopted it, and not only use it freely, but
cheerfully recommend it. Like a true friend,
the more we use it and know it the better We
like il.

sons in the intensity Of bodily pain
ave recourse to the use of morphine for
relief, and in this manner the habit
slowly aud surely ehiolds them in its
serpent coils until they are finally be-
yond all hope OF restoration.
Among the Chinese population OF Cali
iornia, pure opium IN the bOlus form Is
smoked IN pipes, and even some Amer
lean habituates are in the habit OF using
che drug in com bination with their
smoking tobacco. The opium smoker oil
the Celestial Empire frequently becomes
such slave to his pipe, that, like the
victim OF intemperance in our own
land, he will sell himself, body
and soul, for the qualification
Of bis appetite. Among the
white habituates, however, opium
is taken in other forms and in different
manners. The most popular prepara
tious are morphine in solution and the
pure drug in The shape of pills. Another
mode Of placing the system under its
influence is by the hyperdermic syringe,
| whereby solution OF morphia is in.
jected beneath the skin of the arm
and, strange as it may seem, this ia 8
habit which it is said is rapidly increas
| ing even among the professional anC
| literary men OF this country.

TIE USES OF THE LEMON.

AS writer In the London Lancet re.
marks, few people know the value Of
lemon juice. A piece of lemon bound
upon a corn will cure it in a few days;
it should be renewed night aud morn
ing, A tree use Of lemon juice aud su-
gar will also relief a cough. Most people
leel poorly in the spring, but II they
would eat a lemon be ore breakfast every
day i0r q week-with or without sugar,
as they llke--they woulI tild it better
than medicine. Leman juice used ac-
oording to this recipe will sometimes
cure consumption; Put q dozen lemons
into cold water and slowly bring to
boil; boil slowly until all
the juice is extracted; anu
sugar 10 your taste and drink. In this
way use one dozen lemons day. IL
they cause pain, or loosen the bowels
TOO much lessen the quantity and use

and then begin again with dozen a
day. After using i've or SIX dozenlhe
patient will begin to gain flesh and en-
joy food. Hold on to the; lemons, and
till use them very, freely fer several
weeks more. Another u g for lemons is
for refreshing drink in summer, or in
sickness at any time. Prepare as di-
rected above and add water and sugar.
But in order to have this keep well, after
boiling the lemons squeeze and drain
carefully; then to every hall pint OF
juice add one-half pound of crushed
sugar, boil and stir a leS minutes more
until the sugar j. dissolved, skim care
Iully and bottle. You VIII yet more juice
from the lemons BY billing them, and the
preparatiGn keep better.
