1t is extremely gratifying to note
the unbroken unanimity with which

tions and mass meetings have

Justly entitled. No purer public man
has ever held Office in this State. nor
one who has been more closely

all; for united with this devotion to

ability Of a high order, o ssgacious
and far reaching judgement which

Yellow Fever.

Correspondence New Orleans Times.
Now that it is announced that the
treatment of yellow fever is empirical,
it may not be out OF place to publish .
mode of treatment that has been prac-
liced since lS49, and particularly dur
ing the epbemic of 1853. and although
it has been applied to over 100 cases
by the writer, be has never failed TO
cure the patient.
Among others, particularly call the
attention of boatmen to the cases Of
John d. Hodges and Andrew K. Har.
Jfl, both Of whom ere cured by the
treatment set forth. The first symp-
tom Ct the disease is costiveness, the
second pain in the head, also in the
back, precisely as in fever and ague,
only more severe. The costiveness is
not always a sign Of fever, but in
rrery case that has come under the
observation of the writer, it has pre-.
ceded the pains in the head and back,
and my experience date back to 1888
Treatment begin by warm mus
tard aud salt bath of the limb, rub
hing them well to draw the fever as
much as possible to tie lower ex,rem-
iiies and away from the vitals, and if
the fever is increasing place q mustard
plaster between the shoulders as high
as possible to draw the fever from the
head, and another on the pit of the
stomach to draw it from the stomach
This is exterior treatment.
The interior treatment is as follows:
A beapiug teaspoonful OF grohnd
mustard and teaspoonful OF common
table salt well mixed in tumbler OF
warm water, given as in enetic, if the
first dose does not operate in ten min
utes give second, and in extreme
cases a third. When the vomiting
commences give as much warm water
as the patient can drink, so as to cause
the vomiting to be easy, until nothing
comes up but clear water. If but lit.
tie has been thrown up second vom-
iting may help. AS soon as the vcm'

of mustard aud salt in cold water as
a purgative, aud give the patient all
the cold water be wants to drink, but
carefully excluding draft, allow Q
free ventilation from one side of The
room. 1t may be necessary in ex
treme cases to give an injection to as
sist the action Of the purgative. The
action Of the emetic is to cleanse the
upper portion Of the bowels and the
purgative the lower. The mustard
acts as a counter irritant, and drive:
the fever from the bowels to the sur
face The salt purifes the poisonous
matter and acts as styptic, closing
the small blood vessels that line the
stomach, which, being cOrroded by
the poisonous matter contained there
ID, empty their contents iuto th,
stomach and produce the blact vomit
With this treatment. as soon as th,
bowels are opened, the fever begins
to abate, and in forty-eigbt hours il
will leave the patient very weak ant
out of danger Of relapse, unless h'
should take cold.

Is it not wonderful that no two
things in all this world are alike !,
Not even TWO blades of grass or two
leaves Of a tree. Twin children often

to show that be is himself and nobody

sure that be was delivering goods to
the right man, or asking the proper

Proverbs for Subscribers.

A wise son maketh q glad father,
aud a promptpaying subscriber
causeth an editor to laugh. 80. :
Folly is joy that is destitute Of

All the ways of man are clear in
bis own eyes, except the way the de-
linquent subscriber has in not paying
for his newspaper.
Better is q few with Righteousness
than q thousand subscribers who cheat
the printer.
Better is a poor man that walketh
in integrity. and pays his subscription
than the rich man who lelletb the COL

Judgments ar prepared for scorners

They blossom on their sprays;
They glad The borders with their bloom,
Aud sweeten with their rich perfume
The messy garden ways.
The dew that from their brimming leaves
Dnps down, the mignonette receives,
And sweeter grows thereby;
The tall Jnne lilies stand ancar.
In raiment white and gold, and here
The purple pansies lie.
Warm sunshine glitters over, all,
On dai-ied sward and ivied wall
On lily pansy, rose;
While fitting round eaah garden bed,
With joyous langh and airy tread,
A farer sunbeam goes.
\ little human blossom, bright
With childish, innocent delight
OF life yet in its dawn;
With sunshine prisoned in her hair,
Deep eyes un>hadowed by a care,
She sambos on the lawn.
She checks the igh, elastic tread.
And stays to hear, far overhead;
The arks song to lis Close;
Eyes shaded by two tiny hands
We pray God bless her as she stands,
Our litlc daughter Rose.
Yea, bless the Rose, dear God, since we
Have given :he Lily back to Thee,
That bloomed with her awhile,

For her dear sake, whose angel brow
Reflects Thine awful smile.

Our hungry, longing eyes can trace
The looks of one away;

A music wakes more sad than moan,
Or accents hnshed for aye!
