Poison IvY.-The following is said
to be specific against the poison ivy
quite common in all parts Of the coun-
ny: Bromide should be iisolved in
olive oil, cosmoline or glyeerine, in
the strength of ten to twenty drops of
bromine to an ounce of oil, and the
mixture rubbed gently on the affected
part three or four times a day. The
bromide is so volatile that the solu-
ton should be renewed within TWEEN
ty.four hours from its PREPARATION
The eruption never extends after the
first thorough application, and it
promptly disappears within twenty
four hours if the application is per-
sisted in, and the patient is entirely
cured.

Most farmers have noticed that IN
fattening swine, especially when they
are crowded rapidly, they always
appear weak in their hind legs, and
sometimes lose the use of them en-
tirely. An intelligent farmer says
that he and his neighbors have made
q practice of feeding bone meal in such
cases and find that q small quantity
mixed with the daily feed will pre-
vent any weakness, and strengthen
the animals so as to admit of the
most rapid forcing. AS bone meal is
known to be preventative Of Grip.

reasonable that 1t also should be a

COMMUNISM AND THE NATIONALS.

"Kearneyism,r rs II Is called on the Pa
cific slope, is not such q frightful bug-bear
after ALL II was strong in San Francisco
and weak in the rural districts. Like the
labor riots of the East, and Communism the
world over, 1t thriycs only in the thickly-
settled communities, where poverty, crime,
and ignorance are brought into immediate
contact with wealth, extravaganza, and the
tyranny Of capital. In the country, where
capital and labor 20 hand in hand, and in
prosperous communities, where the equali-
ties of life exist, an even and peaceful tenor
of society is preserved. But, after all, this
development contains no element of perma-
nence In the first place, 1t is vague in its
declaration of principles the only object
it seeks being maniiestly the gratifica-
ton of personal wants and physical
needs, and it has no basis OF solid
and progressive merit beyond those wants
and needs. 1t assumes too much, for it de-
clares that the wealth of the country is the
aggregation of robbery, and that all office
holders are thieves. This assumption is 20
violent and so repugnant to the better in
stincts of mankind that it finds only
casual response, except among the vicious,
the idle, and the scheming demagogues.
But it is an assumption for the existence of
which the Democracy, and particularly the
| Opposition press of the country, is in II
great measure responsible. 1t found its
origin in the unreas enable and untruthful
assaults of those agencies upon Republican
legislation and administration. The land
has been deluged for years with these
slanderous assaults, and in turn the RepuL-
licans have not been guiltless Of adding to
the general dstrust by rejoining in kind. 1t
has therefore, become popular, even among
those who are now loudest in denunciation
| of Kearneyism or Communism, to charac-
terize both of the prominent political parties
of the day as corrupt and incompetent.
These denunciations, supported, as we have
said, by the personal wants and physical
needs of the disquiet element of our citi-
zenship, have given birth not only to the
movement of which this ignorant and un-
lettered REARNEY was the front, but also to
the National party. Very naturally, con-
sidering their conception, the results OF these
two births will harmonize toa great degree,
and under the name Of the Nationals, which
is an organization, has formulated platforms,
and does seek to accomplish some definite
although ephemcral and denagogical object
the country will feel the influence of lie
lceting power. OF itself, however, Com
munism in whatever guise it may come
can accomplish nothing lasting outside oI
the great cities, crowded as they are by dis
contented, criminal and idle voters. The
idea of continued prosperity and politica,
success following from the profane and ig'
norant leadership of such men rs KEARNEY
is is sheer nonsense. BY the time the cam
paign of 1850 Is begun things will hav,
again settled down to their natural condi

AFTER all the furry following from the
exposure of Minister DEICHMAN's mis-
doings, he Is to be retained in Office, and
allowed to sail for his post Of duty without
being subjected to an official investigation.
This would be considered q somewhat re-
markabe thing IL II were not for the fact
that DEICHMAS is civil-service reformer
Of the purest-or filthiest--water. 1t is
known that he prepared and submitted to
the President draft of message to Con-
gress on civil-scrvice reform, and that he has
otherwise made himself familiarly useful at
the Executive Mansion. This fact probably
serves to make him impregnable to oil cap
tious newspaper assaults and newspaper
charges against his character as man.
Hereafter when any Stalwart desires i'm
munity, in the estimation Of the Admins
tration, from current slnnder no matter II
It may be based upon suspicious facts, he
will write draft of a message on Concilia-
ton, or on any subject foreign to the honest
purpose of the Republican party organiza-
ton, and send it to the President. 1t is
true that DEICnMAy was not Stalwart
when he did all this; and II is also true
that the success he attained in doing II may
not always follow as natural or consistent
consequence of so doing; but it will be
worth while tempting the Administration
with the DETCHMAN precedent.

SOME Of the Dolefuls begin TO predict
that the Nationals will hold the balance OF
power in the next House. They base this
prediction on the assumption that the Ad-
ministration has disgusted many Republi-
cans with Its peculiar and variegated policy
or policies, who will join the Nationals as
their only political refuge, for they will never
join the Democracy, and, at the same time,
that the Democracy has driven many of its
adherents out of its ranks who will never
join the Republicans. There is not as much
meat in this suggestion as there is in a
quarto dictionary, although, like that rather
disiointed literary production, it contains
words that may be put together as the basis
of good or bad advice.

WHILE the press and the public has been
lulled into sense of false security, imagin-
ing that the defeat of the KIMMELL quo
,rdrrdnto bill was the last of MONTGOMERY
BLAIR, that irrepressible wire-puller has
been. quietly at work arranging for his
nomination for Congress in the sixth Mary
land district. On many accounts it is to
be hoped his arrangements will succeed,
mainly because he will prove to be another
fire-brand in the event of his election in the
House, and finally because he will con-
tinue to be, as he always has been, friend
of the District of Columbia. If we are to
have a Democrat in the House from our
neighboring Maryland constituency, let us

THE evident design of the Democracy in
its efforts to foment discord between the
rank and file Of the Republican party and
the Administration is to bring about con-
dition of affairs that will permit the easy
and peaceful installation Of TILDES when
"HAyEs is bounced" by Congress-if it ever
passes into Democratic control They fancy
that the Stalwarts, who compose the over
whelming str, myth of the Republican party,
will abandon the President to his fate If he
becomes much more unpopular, and allow
the defense of his title or occupancy of his
Office to be made by the handful of namby'

. In view Of the fact that vacancy may
soon occur in the membership of the Su-

the President will so 80 far as Alaska to

THE New York Tribune admits the viola
ton of the civil-service rules in the New
York custom-house removals, and then it
goes on to say, practically, that If the Stall
warts do not make too much disturbance
over the matter the Republican party in
New York will be the gamer. In other
words, the injured parties in this case are
expected or advised to kiss the hand that
smites them, or there will be trouble in the
camp. We are inclined to the belief that
this advice will not be meekly followed.
This turning the other cheek also" is all
very well in theory, but it gets to be mo-
notonous after frequent practice, and the idea
is involutary that it is cheeky, so to speak,
on the part Of the Administration to keep
up the practice. 1t is about time the Pres
ident should be made to understand that
