THE STING OF BEES A REMEDY FOR
1'al RHEUMATISM. h q ."fT

The Fr0eyerr Lz1nd.citcha tliek d ,Iticch en-
6iatt contains the following in regard to,
the euro Of rilcumatism' by the hnoaulsI ef
bee stfngs. The esorreslondent sayss "1'hSt

be unable to enjoy any sseep zor. rest for
the space of six inofiths, tI3s right arli
being almost lame, rfeventing the suffer
or from doing any household work, max
ing her even unable to dress or undrcs.,
herself, and havirg heard that i far
nler, quite incapacitated By fHieu-
niatism had been .sccidently stung by
bees, and thereby got entirely cured, no
persuaded his wife t., try this remedy, as,
tho pain from the sting of the bees would
mot he greater than that already suffered.
Three bees were therefore. laid and
pressed npon tho right arm for consid-,
'erable time. in order that the poison
bladder of the insects should entirely.
empty itself. The effect produce.f
was astonishing, as the lady, even on the
first night, was enabled to enjoy a long,
good sleep, the first time for at least six
months. the racking pain being entirely
gone. The arm was, of course, swoile1i
greatly in consequence of the sting, but
the swelling disappeared gradually upon
the application of some cooling lotion.
All pain was gone. the lame arm recov
cred its previous vigorousness, and not
the least sign of rheumatism has since
shown itself.

A SHOCKING CRIME.

Another child murder by a child dis
torts the annals of crime. Again it is
Boston. The Gallons, calculating delib-
crate way in which Henry Aekers, u boy
of twelve, killed u little son Of Mr.. Gro
min in his fathers house, exceeds in :rtroc-,
ity the Jesse Pomeyoy murder. The lit
tie fellow was but two years and eight
months old. The particulars Of the at
fair are contained in yesterdays dis
patches, but may he stated briefly: The
child and his sister, aged six. were de-,
scending the stairs when they were met
by Ackcrs. "I'm going to shoot ono Of
you," he said, and pulling ont n revolver
took q cartridge from his pocket, insert
ed it in ono Of tho chambers, pulled back
the hammer and took aim. The little
fellow moved to go down stairs, when
the assassin shot him. He lived but an
hour.
This act must remain a marvel of myss
terry. BY the human law crime consists
in intention. Criminal intent is often
inferred from some known motive. All
fact and PHILOSOPHY prove that without
some motive men do not commit crimes.
Sometimes habitual dcpravity supplies
Il motive in tho love of crimes. But
this assassin is himself child. He cam
not have learned to love crime from Bit
terness, enmity, ill fortmo in the world,
wrongs or rough usage that lead men to
harbor revenge against tho hanan race.
Will the time come in the march of dis
covery when such an act may be account
cd for 7 1t seems vain to grapbfc with
it in tho light of What we yet know
Ttem.

STATE OF LOUISIANA, EXECUTIVE DP'T.
.F- New Orleans, Oct. 16, 1876.
To the Hon. r. c. Mccormick, Secretary
National Republican COMMITTEE,
ss New York; ..re sa..
Afs Dear SRI wrote you last week
regarding the Importance ofgiving us
some assistance both in money and
speakers. A few thousand dollars in ad-
aition to what we can raise here (and we
are striving our utmost in this regard)
judiciously used eight or ten days before
the election, in my Judgment will enable
us to render the carrying of this state al
most certain. If we had eight or ten
thousand dollars it would make differ
ence Of five or ak the thousand votes. To
understand this, you must remember that
in this state there arc few te1egraphs
and fewer railroads, and half a dozen men
sent out ut the proper time aud in the
proper way to certain parishes, would
bring out votes which otherwise would
never be cast.
1t seems to me that as far as the North
is concerned, the battle ground is con-
fined to the states of Califorr ia, Connec-
| ticut, Indiana, New Jersey, New York
and Oregon, and in tho South to South
Carolina, Florida and Louisiana. have
NO faith that any other southern state
can DO carried for the republican party
| These may be saved. 1t seems to me that
California, Louisiana, South Carolina
Florida and New Jersey, or Connecticut
Louisiana, South Carolina and New Jer.
! sey, are essential to tho success of the
! ticket, unless you are certain Of New
York. I assume in these calculations
that Wisconsin may be classed as safe fol
| Hayes. 1, appears to me from every
point of view, true policy to direct every
| energy to carry South Carolina, Florida
and this State.
wish you would lay this matter DC
fore Mr.. Chandler and your committee.
wish also you would write me- confidenti
! ally it you agree with me shat it is ofvery
! great Importance that tho electoral vot,
of Louisiana be secured to say nothing
of tho two senators. We had assurance.
that Grierson's Cavalry (colored) wouit
be sent into this state If we could ge
| two OF three companies of this cavalI J
| and distribute them over the disturbed
parishes in North Louisiana, this in ad
dition to the other help have request
cd, wonld remove the'question of our car
! rying the state beyond the field of perad
venture. Very truly, yours,
! W.P. KELLOGG.

RUFFIANIsM IN NORTHEAST WASHINGTON
About 10 o'clock last night two ruffians made
an indecent assault upon party of cOlOred
women, while the latter were crossing a vacant
lot INTO A street southeast, between 9th and
It'll. The cries of the women brought to their
assistance Mr.. G. Cline and Mr.. G. W. BaSsett.
who laid hands on the scoundrels a square
from the scene OF the attempted outrage. A
struggle ensued. in which both Mr.. Cline and
Mr.. Bassett received injuries of a slight nature
from their prisoners, who made their escape,
doubtless carrying with them also evidences
of the tusSle.
