4 STRIKE.

The New York Tribune calls the
Greenback--Democratic alliance a
''strike'' against capital and law.
This is we'll said. The National move
ment is simply the great strike of Il
year of two ago carried to the political
arena and the polls. Then the labor
,ers struck by violence and tore things
up. Now they are striking in a legit-
innate way, at the polls. Then, they
were like horses goaded and stung to
madness by the cruel treatment of
their masters, and breaking away and
smashing things. Now, they are Or
ganizing like men, and striking for re-
lief in constitutional way.
Strikes are just as right in principle
and just us legitimate as obedience.
Luther struck against the wickedness
and the superstition of the Romisl
church. The colonists struck against
the oppression and misrule of England.
The people all over the civilized world
are to-day striking against kingcraft,
priestcraft, churchcraft and whatever
"leprives them Of their liberty which is
their right. II capital is the Cypress.
or to-day, instead of kingcraft, let the
deople strike against capital, but let
the strike be legitimate and constitu
tiOnal and not violent. Away will
the ignorant fools, like Kearney and
Cohen. They are an i:jnry to the great
cause which demands relief in a legiti
mate way and will have that relief
BY all means let us strike. Life is .

or some clog. Strike and Rise, SHOULD

The prevalence Of this disease in
the State is calling forth some valua-
bic information as to it's nature and
treatment. Tie following taken from
All article in the Britannica Encyclo-
pedia, by DR.. Aftlick, is in point.
In the treatment of diphtheria regard
must be had both to the local and gen-
eral nature Of the disease. Probably
at the outset, when the local .manifes-
tations are but slight, the use Of nitrate
either III solid form VI Il strong sOlu-
ton to the parts effected, may be of
service; but after any considerable sur
face has been invaded by the false men,
brane, little good can be done in this
way. The forcible removal of the false
membrane is generally condemned, as
Il raw bleeding surface is left, upon
which the deposit is reproduced with
great rapidity. The oxidation, how
ever, tends to he cast off spontaneously
by a process Of suppuration, and us
favoring this and at the same time
acting us 4 soothing remedy, the in
halation of steam is recommended.
The employment in the form of spray
or OF washes or gargles Of solutions of
carbonic acid, Condy's fluid, perchlo-
|
of potash, is valuable i'll the way of
disinfecting the parts and subdune
the fetid eXlalatiOnS which are always
present. When the disease has spread
into the larnyx and tile breathing is
embarrassed, al emetic may be of use
in aiding the expulsion OF the false
membrane. In great measure however
the physicians attention must he d.

The effect OF the disease upon the pa.

FROM MURRAY COUNTY.


BoND1N, Sept. 81, IS.
Farmers have about finished making
hay. They are all we'll prepared for
the winter as far as that article of food
is concerned. Some OF us have been
engaged in establishing fire breaks
around our lands, which I consider Il
very Important matter and no farmer
in the country should neglect it for
various reasons. The prairies when
burned late in the spring will produce
u much finer quality Of grass and a
larger supply than it will when burned
in the fall. 1t also prevents the snow
from drifting to some extent, and, last
~, if we should need it to destroy the
hoppers In the spring, we have it.
Q. King lost horse few nights ago
by falling into an open well. Farmers
who have open wells about their prem
ises and loose stock around, should
''lOOk a leetle oud" for if 4 horse or an
OK goes down to the bottom of the well
to get a drink, they can't always get
back as easy as they go down.
A few of our farmers have done
their tllreshing. Wheat yields on an
average about ten bushels per acre;
some little more and some less.

We have Il question to ask tile news
papers of Worthington, especially the
journal. A few weeks since consider
able ado was made over q little indis-
cretion of two railroad boys while in
attendance at church in that place,
and that same week the Journal (espec-
ially) severely criticised the boys con-
duct, which in the end proved to be
grOundleSs charge. The Journal was
very quick to uphold the actions of it's
friend Burbcr in having the boys arrest
ed and in denonncing rOwdyism. Two
weeks ago tO-nig lit the streets of Wor-
thingtOn were the scene Of drunken
brawl. Two young men named Joe
and Will Loveless (brothcrs), and IL
jour carpenter became engaged in
dispute, which finally ended in a knock
down, with considerable profanity and
blackguardism mixed in. LII fact, for
Il temperance town, it was most dis
graceful scene. An attempt WAS
made by Marshall Chase to arrest the
combatants, but being drunk himself,
lie became mixed up with the crowd
and was knocked down by one Of the
Loveless boys, after which the latter
had everything their own way.
We scanned the Worthington papers
last week to find another article on
rowdylsnl. and Il sermon on morality
from the Journal. But not one word
WAS there to be seen in either paper.
Did the editors learn of the row, or
| WAS it because the participants were
town boys that no mention was made
Of the matter? Now if tie row had
been kicked up by two or three outsid-
ers they would not only have been ar
rested but would have received Il half
column puff in the papers. But per-
haps the wrong party was sent out
| to arrest the boys in this case. Pro-
| bate judge Rio d. Barber was the man
| to have yanked them into court.-St.
James Journal.
We said nothing about the matter
because we were informed by several
officers that it would be the subject of
judicial investi cation when the facts
would be developed and we could
publish Il report. This has not been
had, and up to date We have only street
I'll nors to the following effect: tina:
Joe Loveless and jour carpenter had
an alteration and Came to blows; that
Will Loveless had nothing to do with
it further than to attempt to take his
brother home; that Marshall Chase,
hearing of the difficulty, attempted to
arrest Joe Loveless and that Joe struck
him. AS to whether Marshal Chase
was under the influence of liquor, and
lis to which one of the boys was t.
blame for beginning the difficulty opin
ions vary. The st. James journal
ought not to put us III the same cate
CORY with the other Worthington paper
in these matters. For two or three
years we have had a monopoly of fight
ing rowdyism in Worthington, fac
which the st. James Journal ought tt
know. In the case Of Barber VS.. til,
st. james boys, the Journal very well
knows that we promptly denounced
the silly arrest and even gave the boy
full hearing by copying the Journal
article OH the matter. Please dom
say 1.-The two Worthington papers
any more. When you mean US, say So
and when you mean the other pape
Say so, too.

No wonder II half the world knows
how pleasant it IL to take an after
dinner nap, and what relief II Is to
the overburdened brain or stomach.
We used TO know lawyer who took
his nap every day, after dinner, II be
continues the practice he viii die an
old man. II there Is any one time
when a man Is forced TO exert him
self, whether in muscle or brain
labor, 10 Aork, It Is after the roon-
day meal. II all men could only
rest, not one hour, Int two boHrs.
and could put the extra time on the
closing hours of fhe day, what an
Improvement would be made In their
health! Whether he be a farmer or
mechanic, or professional man,
good rest after dinner leaves the
man in better condition for hard
labor than even in the morning. It
was sensible farmer who, In har-
vesi, always made an agreement
with his woFkmen to work ten
hours a day; and from twelve
O'Clock till two no work was to be
done, unless ia ease OF emergency
threatened rain, Or something that
required extra exertIon. The men
had glorious times sleeping under
the trees afteE dinner. They always
used up three-quarters Of an hour at
the table, aud then slept one hour
and quarter in the heat. Of the day.
The result was they were never over
worked, and tho farmer got more
labor from his men than did any Of
his neighbors from theirs, though
their men often worked twelve hours
a day. When two O'Clock. came the
hands were in good trim, completely
rested, and could do double the work
with more ease than IL they had
commenced work at one o'clock. A
single hours rest at the proper time
works wonders.

When Blondin came in 1859, he
had his rope stretched about q mile
below the falls, and even there Il was
200 feet long. On both sides Of the
river Enclosures were built around
the rope, into which ticket buyers
were admitted, and where the aero
bat had his dressing rooms. He was
10 start on the FIRST occasion from tho
Canadian side, and within the inclOs-
ure were a number of invited guests,
among them Henry w. Faxon, then
the local editor Of the Buffalo Repub-
&c. Faxon was wit OF moro than
local renown, aud Blondin had, for
some reason, taken , great liking TO
him. While FaxoD slood-laughing
and jesting as was his way-on the
edge Of the precipice overlooking the
river 40 feet below, BIondin appear
ed few feet behind. tI0 was about
to attempt the most daring feat upon
= tight rope that had ever been per
formed, and what took place win
show his iron nerve and reckless tenn
per. He saw that Faxon, gazing out
across the river was unconscious Of
bis presence. Motioning 10 the by
standers for silence by pressing his
fingers to his lips, he seized FaxOn un-
der both armpits and held him out
for a second or two over the verge.
Faxon must haveweighed 1B6 pounds.
His countenance when Blondin laid
hold OF him was irFadiatcd withmirth.
When Blondin drew him back and
dropped him on the green sward, he
sank there in heap, horror stricken
by shock from the effects 81 which
bis nervous system never fully recoy-
cred. In the next instant, Bloudin,
grasping bis heavy balancing pole,
danced out upon his ropo beyond the
fearful procipice, turning 10 enjoy tho

dignant friend with gesture indes-
criably entire. lilo then continued
