The popular impression, strengthened by
some scientific opinions, that consumption
cannot be cured, has no doubt FASTENED the
death of many invalids, by depriving them OF
the consolation of hope. Persons afflicted with
pectoral disease should be supported by every
assurance of cure, not alarmed by the
gloomy, foreboding countenances of those
around. For our part, we do not believe that
consumption is incurable, and let physicians
theorize as they will, we have mass of evil
dence to prove that persons having all the
symptoms of consumption, cough, deep,
bloody expectoration, pain and oppression,
sore throat, diarrhea, night sweats, burning
fever. &C., have been permanently cured by
''Dr. Swayne's Compound Syrup of Wild

Upon the election in Louisiana this year
will turn, in all probability, the Electoral
vote of that State. The new Constitution
gives to the Legislature then to be elected
the right, at its discretion, to choose Pres
identential Electors. Whichever party
wins it will undoubtedly use that privi-
lege, for Louisiana politicians, on either
side, are not blind to the comparative val
ue of bird i'm the hand and one in the
bush. 1t is the opinion of leading repub-
licans in the State that the election can be
carried by proper effort, including a Wig
orous campaign, with prominent republi-
can speakers of national reputation.
We have never considered the reports
that the Governor and Council would at
tempt to count in a fusion majority of SEN
ators as having any reliable basis. There
is in our opinion only one argument that
favors the idea that they would take such
a course, viz that the democratic party
for several years has been prone. for what
appeared to be party expediency, to aban-
don the path which principle and duty
pointed out to them to follow, and to take
the other road--always however with dis
astrous results to themselves. The con-
stitution and laws are clearly against the
Governor and Council counting in anybody
except those who appear by the returns to
be elected. The Senate and House, not
the Governor and Council, are Judges of
the elections of their own members. We
presume the Governor and Council will
be governed by the constitution and laws,
and not by what irresponsible parties may
possibly desire them to do in defiance of
law and the oaths they have taken to obey
the constitution. Talk is cheap. The in
famous character of the job proposed may
not be considered by those who suggest it,
but the Governor and council will not fail
to consider well the position in which
they would be placed should they take a
step in that direction.

Egg Bread.-One pint corn meal, one
egg, buttermilk to make thick batter
BE sure to get the right quantity OF soda
and YOU will have a delicious loaf.
Apple Custard.-One quart of apples
mashed fine, four eggs, two cups sugar,
half cup butter; beat well; take whites
of two of the eggs, beat with sugar;
spread over the tops and place in the oven
again.
Indian Steam Loaf.-Two cups Indian
meal and one cup wheat -four, two cups
OF sweet milk and one cup of sour milk,
half cup molasses and one teaspoon of
soda; to be steamed three hours, and is
good hot or cold.
Red Indelible Ink. = One ounce of
green vitriol, one ounce Of cinnabar, good
hnseed oil enough to make it fluid, strain
it; the thick fluid which is left is used
for writing, with quill pen on cotton
goods; bleaching does not affect it.
To Drive Red Ants Away-Take the
flowers of sulphur and sprinkle it around
the place they frequent. Sage is also good.
Black pepper is good for the same pur-
pose; or this: one pint of tar in two
quarts of water in an earthen vessel in the
cupboard. When first mixed pour the
water on hot.
Hair Curling Fluid.-Use very weak
solution Of isinglass, which will hold the
curl in the position in which it is placed
if care is taken that it follows the direc-
ton in which the hair naturally falls.
One of the fluids in use is made by dis
solving a small portion of the beeswax in
one ounce of olive oil and adding scent
according to fancy.
Tomato Steak-Slicc fresh tomatoes
and let the juice drain off; have skillet
hot, and place your beefsteak in and broil
until about half done; then la. the sliced
tomatoes over it; season with salt, pepper
and butter drowned butter is best) cover
up and let cook till done; but if you like
steak rare done, you should season the
sooner, so that the tomatoes will have
time to brown nicely.
Southern Beef Soup-Boil a soup bone
thoroughly done, the longer the better;
one hour before serving put into one gal
Ion of soup one teacup two-thirds full Of
rice, one full of strained tomatoes, one of
corn, cut very fine (be sure to get tender
ears,) three or four pods of okra; cut fine
cross ways (the pods.) Some like few
slices Of onions, but that depends on their
taste.
English Pickle for Tougue-For two
tongues, make brine of two ounces of
saltpetre, half pound Of brown sugar,
one pint of barrel salt, one teacup of mo-
lasses, water enough to cover them. Let
them stand in a crock, well kept under
the brine. When ready to use boil two
or three hours; skin and eat cold. This
brine can be used as long as it keeps
sweet, and is good to keep hams or dried
beef in.
Furniture Polish. - Onc-half drachm
shellac varnish, one-half drachm rosin,
two ounces alcohol; dissolve add two
ounces cotton seed oil or linsccd OIL use
ten drops butter of antimony; shake and
apply with soft rag and rub briskly. This
will cost twenty-five or thirty cents, and
is excellent for soiled picture frames or
vanished furniture; but scratched var
nish can hardly be fully restored, except
by rubbing down and revarnishing the
surface.

In the morning, before breakfast, al
ways brush your teeth-tirst with water
only, then with powder Powder should
be used at least once day. Without
powder teeth cannot be kept clean. Using
brush with tooth soap, just before re
firing at night is a commendable practice.
To brush etlectually, place the upper and
lower rows Of teeth parallel to each other,
the points of the fronts touching; then
use your brush up and down the teeth be-
tween the gums, being not unmindful nor
fearful to brush as well the gums as the
teeth-thereby toughening the one and
cleansing the other. Your back teeth
need more brushing than your front ones.
Wisdom in this respect will be displayed
should you show a partial care for the back
and outsides of the rearmost teeth, above
and below. After each and every meal
use a quill toothpick, waXed silk floss,
and rinse the mouth with moderately cold
water. The intention is simply to re-
move food from among the teeth. De
composed, acidified food, animal or veg
etable, is the worst enemy Your teeth
have now to encounter. The enemy, the
combat and the prize are now before you.
