What the editor of the Chanute Dem.
ocrat lacks in sense he makes up in fury.
Witness the following blood curdling
effort of last week:
''When an election comes again for members OF
Congress the Republicans will find themselves
beaten and completely obliterated by the righteous
judgment and indignation of an outraged people.
Then woe to the mglcontents who call hard names
and utter all kinds of treasOrable words against the
just CLANS of the people, they must yield their
grip on the throats of the labOring men and step
60 wn and out.''
Really, the weather is too warm for
such "gOre."

LEADvILLE AND IT'S MINEs.-Although but
little over year old, Leadville, the centre
of business population for the new silver
mining district of Colorado, contains
already over ten thousand inhabitants,
whilst working in the mines or prospecting
among the hills there is said to be eight
thousand people more who look to Lead
vile for their supplies. This mountain
town, or rather mining camp, for. built up
with all sorts Of rude structures hastily i'm
provised, it can scarcely be called a town,
lies in the midst of the mountains l3, 500 feet
above the sea level. These mountains are
said to TEEN with argentiferous galena
(silver mixed with lead) and with carbon
ates of silver. They are already honey
combed around Lesdville, with holes and
shafts opened by prospectors and subse'
ouently abandoned; but sixty mines are
paying well, and some of them arc turning
out ore which is represented to be enor.
mously rich in silver. The value of yield
of silver up to August l, 1879, is put at ten
millions of dollars, but with the force now
at work the product is estimated at 8
million and ahalf of dollars per month
Three railroads are already pushing toward
Leadville' and one has gotten within thirty
miles of it. All the mountains not yet eX
plored are supposed to be equally rich II
silver. but the climate is so cold that th'
warmest underclothing and an overcoat arr
needed every day in the year, and the air i
so rarified that only robust persons cal
breathe it with impunity.

that she has been obliged to lodge them out

consisting of a dozen or so Baltimoreans
who had been recommended to 60 to thi:
lady's, arrived, and at once repaired to her
residence. 81 can give thee all board,
said she to the Marylanders, "but thee

The Christian Union says: "Shall there
be colored Bishop for the colored Metho-
dists of the North? That is the question
the Methodist press is agitating, and the
subject receives no little Importance from
the fact that in all probability next year
there will be an election of Bishops. The
Methodist Episcopal Church numbers two
hundred thousand colored communicants
among its membership, and it is felt in
some quarters that they ought to have q
Bishop Of their own color. The Methodist
favors colored Bishop, as, we believe, the
Independent does and so does the South.

TIE Use OF THE LEMoN.-There are three
ways of making lemonade. TO squeeze the
Juice into cold water-this is the shortest
way; or to cut into slices and let it soak in
cold water; or to cut it in slices and then
boil it. Lemonade is one of the purest
and safest drinks for a person whether in
health or not. 1t is suitable to all stomach
disease, is excellent in sickness. The pips,
crushed, may also be mixed with sugar
water, and used as a drink. We advise
every one to rub the gums daily with lemon
Juice to keep them in health. The hands
and nails are also kept white, soft and
supple by the daily use of lemon instead Of
soap. 1t also prevents chilblains. Lemon
is used in intermittent fevers, mixed with
strong, hot black coffee without sugar
Neuralgia may be cured by rubbing the
part affected with q cut lemon. 1t i:
valuable also to cure warts, and to destroy

A New WAY TO TREAT DIPHTHERIA-
Quite discovery in the treatment of diph-
liberia has been made here. A young man
whose arm had been amputated, was
attacked by diphtheria before healing took
place; and instead Of the matter incident
to that disease being deposited in the throat,
the greater portion appeared on the
wounded arm, and the diphtheria was very
light and easily managed. DR.. Davis, of
Mankato, prolited by this, in his next case
of diphtheria blistered his patients chest,
and on this blstered part the chief deposits
appeared. This was also an easy case OF the
disease. The theory Of DR.. Davis is that
diphtheria usually appears in the throat
because of the thinness Of the lining Of the
throat. Hence, when the blister breaks
the skin upon any other part Of the body
the disease appears there.-Minnesota lctte,
to The Salem Mass.,) Gazette.

PRESIDENT LINCOLN Hamlin of
Main, in a talk with correspondent of
the Boston Herald, says Of his relations
with President Lincoln: "When | was
elected to the Vice Presidency they told
me that there was well.preserved tradi-
ton handed down, and it was so, that only
one Vice President had ever got along with
the President, | said: We'll, don't know
Mr.. Lincoln, but mean to be the second
| Van Buren, was the first; he had always
amicable relations with jackson. l meant
that | would agree with Mr.. Lincoln.
| And, indeed, there never was any trouble !;
anybody could get along with him. After
got into my office, | found out why the
others didn't get along; it was just as clear
as a mathematical demonstration. The
people, you see, think the Vice President is
somebody of Importance, and, naturally, he
has a certain weight of character in his
party to get where he is. People come to
him, therefore, with that idea in theiI
heads. But he is really only contingent
somebody. He is president of the Senate
and will cast a party vote when it il
necessary. This everybody knows. His
only patronage is appointing his private
secretary. There it ends. And the Presi
dent never gives way, in the least, to hi
deputy. Consequently the clash, and tn
reason why they have never got on vel
together. But with Mr.. Lincoln it wa
very easy. We had intimate relations, AM

was holding back on his problems, and b
