medicine without getting immediate
relief yet there are a great many poor,
suffering, skeptical persons going about
N streets with suspicious cough, and
the voice of consumption coming from
their lungs, that will not try it. If
Sou die, it is your own fault, as you
can go to the druggists, Addoms s.

any case. Regular size only 70 cts. s2tf

Some Valuable Hints.

an arrow" says the Persian proverb,
Never bathe or uncover the skin to
the cold air, or engage in violent exer-
Else. within half an hour of taking a full
meal before or after, ror drink copiously
of cold water, or eat nuts, candies or
apples within like proximity to the reg
ular meal, especially after it. 1t is bet
ter for morbid stomach to receive an
apple or any light morsel before going
to bed than to retire under gnawing
or exhausted sense Of that organ. The
popular notion is otherwise,
Debilitated people should never take
I cold feet to bed To those short of bed
clothing in cold weather it is worth re
membering that few large newspapers
or stouter wrapping paper, placed be-
tween quilts, will add the warmth Of an
additional blanket; or such paper
wrapped about the person beneath the
outer clothing possesses the same virtue.
Never read or sew with the light
shining full in the eyes. Read, if pos
sible, with the light falling on the book
over the shoulder, and never sit to sew
or read with two lamps or windows Civ
ing their light laterally, unless you want
TO ruin your eyes.
For cuts and other than ragged or
confused wounds, especially cold weather,
let the needle and thread be the ever
ready remedy.
Unless you be heavy beer drinker
or very scrofulous, most all wounds will
heal by what the doctors call "irst in
tention" that is, without Inflammation
and fostering If immediately the skin
he drawn together with needle
and thread. Accustom yourself to re-
sort to it for such purpose. Take a
fine cambria needle, and the finest white
silk you can procure; keep it ready
threaded and knotted. III no member
gets wounded you can try it once or
twice d year on the palm Of your well
hand to realize how little it hurts, or
for the fun Of the thing; and if you do
get hurt you will have it handy. Re-
member the scarf or outer skin Of the
body has no nerves, and SO is without
feeling.
Ii you get serious injury send for
surgeon; il small cut or wound grasp
the hurt with a free hand, to keep il
from hlesding, and Ego for your needle
and thread, then sew it up "ovcr and
over just as an awkward boy would
rent in his pants to hide ii from his
mother withdraw your hand from the
grasp Of the cut as the sewing proceeds,
put y dry rag around the limb or not
as you Ike, and in about four days
your wound III well never having
actually gotten sore in the process.
IL is the abrasion Of the lips of
wound, the introduction Of dirt and the
irritation and inflammation caused BY the
use, that produces the fostering and
soreness. By sewing up q wound all
this is avoided
The same treatment is efficient in the
case Of cracked, horny hands. In this
case lot a large needle with heavy linen
thread on d fine wax end be used to hold
Me cracked lips together, and the sore
ness md crack will disappear.
If YOU sleep on a lofty pillow with
your head propped up ut an angle Of
45 degrees, try the bolster alone, and
mark your sensations in the morning in
comparison. Some people use pillows
just wide and large enough to rest upon,
leaving the body lie perfectly horizontal
Others prop themselves up ais though
taking leave Of friends in death.

CONSTITIONAL CONVENTION.

1t will be seen that the Republi-
can Central Committee have issued
a call for party conventions 10 nomi
nate candidates for seats in the Con-
stitutional Convention.
This was not done until it becam 0
apparent that the Democrats had not
only refused all overtures that could
result in the election of partisan
delegates, but were working secretly
and underhandedly to further the in
terests Of their own party candidates.
Although the Republicans, on strict
party vote, are almost sure to elect
ten out of fifteen delegates, they
were willing and anxious not to en- =
gage in party strife but to Join in
electing good men for both parties.
In return for this, the Democratic
managers have pretended to con.
slider this proposition and at the
same time flooded the Territory with
a secret circular calling upon Demo
Gratis to maintain their party organi-
zation and see to it as far as lay in
their power, that Democrats were
elected.
Self protection has, therefore,
compelled the Republicans to do as
they have, and if they will follow it
up by nominating the best and most
competent men in the Territory the
people will sustain their action. -

AySIuILATIoN.-Now is the ac

ANNIuILArIoN.-Now is the &C
cepted time for newspaper men to
crawl into their respective abodes
and never display themselves or their
ire. provoking sheets tie the public
ra2e again. The squire, having
brought his spectacles from their
prominence on his forehead down to
the bridge of his nose, and gathered
his eyebrows into sCowl terrifying
to behold, pronounces this oracular
dctum in the plural language used
by "some pumpkins" as he terms
editors: "For eight or nine years
Of our life we have lived and attended
to our business, and not newspaper
printed within fifteen or twenty miles
of us. If we could then have had
such paper as the "ARGUs" to have
shown US our work, and to have
pricked us up little, the world don't
know what we would have done"
The pungent satire and halo Of con-
centrated wisdom which surrounds
the above, and insinuates itself be-
tween the lines thereof finds its only
parallel in the case Of the enlightened
inhabitants OF certain portion Of
the United States, who continued to
vote for old Hickory" Jackson for
President twenty years after his
death. Their several bumps of self
esteem were equalled in magnitude
only by their contempt for newspa-
pers, and they have left a solitary
record, bereft of emulation, until a
chord was struck in the antiquated
genius of to-day, vibrating back SEN
timents in glorious harmony with
their own. The only paradox in the
matter seems to be in the fact that .
public print was used to disseminate
this stupendous piece of intelligence
instead of allowing it to spread
through the more expedite and time
honored medium of the ncghborhood
tatrlers. But the sublimty of the
spectacle may be partially appre
ciated when we consider how very
much people have degenerated in
regard to newspapers since the good
old days of yore, when such frauds as
Webster's dictionaries were left in
merited obscurity together with their
strait-jacket rules. Despite all we
have said in the foregoing; in the
face of the squre's withering, blight
ing sarcasm, and although we may
present an unexampled spectacle Of
fool hardness, we have decided that
if the squire doesn't want the ARGUS
to "prick him up, and show him his
work" in the future, it will not be
safe for him to leave public nui-
sance (endangering human lives
without a remedy, until it becomes
our DUTY as journalist to administer
the lash.
