A CERTAIN CURE FOR CHILLs AND
FEVER years ago was travel
ing with very intelligent Kansas stock
dealer. In the course of e conversation
he remarked thnt in the early settlement
of that State he had suffered much, rs ell
early settlers always do in the West, from
this disease. He had used the ordinary
remcdies, largely composed Of quinine,
with the usual rcsults--curing, for the
time being, to return again in week or
two.
Being among some of the Indians south
of that State, he came across French
man who called himself doctor. This
man advised him to get an ounce of
camphor, all in one piece, il possible,
sew it up in n small cloth bag, hanging
it round his neck with tape, 40 it would
come at the bottom of the sternum or
breast bone, and securing it there with
another tape round the body, to keep it
in place. This, he said, would all evapo-
rate in week or Ten days, when he must
get another and use it in the same way.
Two ounces thus used, costing 20 cents,
would cure, he declared, the worst case
Of ague 80 it would never come back.
The Kansas man declared that he had
tried this remedy in hundreds of cases,
and had never known it to fail. Since
obtaining this information have tried it
many times, with the same results. So
simple and harmless a remedy ought to
be in general use.-Prairie Farmer.

Mrs. SENATOR GoRDoN.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Chicago
Times relates the following:
Some people were speaking the other
day ofthe regularity with which Mrs. Sen
ator Gordon attends the sessions of the
Senate, and the keen interest with which
she watches the debates. One of the
party said that she is SO devoted to her
husband that she goes with him every
where. During the war she took her
two little boys, one almost baby, and
lived with her husband in camp, follow.
ing him into battle, in fact, sharing all
the danger with him. She had an am
hulance at her service, and it was in this
that she used to follow him. When he
WAS so seriously wounded, she hnd her am
hnlance driven right into the hattle- field.
and had him pulled out from among
the dead and wounded and placed in the
am bulancc and she drove of with him.
All of this was done under the heaviest
| fire, and the cover of the ambulance was
pierced with bullet-holes. Some one
said to her: "How could you have the
nerve to do it 2" "Why," replied Mrs
Gordon, ~ did not think any more OF
it than should of pulling one of my
boys out Of the fire if he had fallen in

Is the next town on our route. Tonight

GRANT, FATHER AND SoN.-Royalty
is already partly established among US.
Hereditary privileges are coming in
vogue. A son Of Gen. Grant is accorded
privileges which would not be extended
to him but for the fact that he is sor of
Gen. Grant. Birth giving to him pcliti-
cal advantages over American citizens in
general.
In the army Frederick Dent Grant had
a!rcad been RAPIDLY promoted, not on
the ground of merit, but owing to the ac-
cident of birth. Now he has been grant
ed leave Of absence for two years. or as
some accounts say, for an unlimited time
to accompany his father on q govern
ment vessel to India, China and Japan.
His place. meanwhile, on Gen. Sheridan's
staff is to be retained for him.
Here is favoritism-nagrant favoritism
on account of birth. 1t is akin to an
hereditary nobility-a departure in the
direction of monarchial government.
We have no personal i'll will toward
this young man, but, we will spare no
one who stands in the sunlight of the vi
tai American principle of equality.
Yet out of this nettle danger will we
pluck the flower of safety. This unwar-
ranted favoritism to young Grant will
serve to make the very name of Grant
as the synonym of an upstart hereditary
nobility-hated and abhorred by masses
of the American people.-N. Y.Sun.

more than support himself. For a girl

Better wait until by economy he has

IF ne won't do that lie is selfish, and not
likely to make a good husband. If he
can't, then certainly expecting his salary
to support comfortably himself and q

for married life, but some home comforts

can officials when the District Court Wa
in the hands of their opponents. Last
year the Democrats, pro6ting by the
teachings Of their brethren Just over the
line IN Louisiana, planned to carry the
election by fraud, and thus get control Of
the offices This plan failed. The Re-
publican nominees were elected. By the
laws Of Texas the county Judge is made
a ministerial officer to count the returns
and issue certificates, but be has DO power
to act judicislly. The district Judge, who
is a Democrat, issued an injunction for
bidding the county judge to count returns
from one or two precincts. The county
Judge paid no attention to this, but count
ed the votes and declared the Republican
candidates elected. In the meantime,
committee Of Democrats procured dupli-
Gates Of the returns, threw out several
Republican precincts, and declared the
Democrats elected. Shortly after this
proceeding body of armed men sur.
rounded the county buildings, broke open
the Offices and installed the men declared
elected by the unofficial committee, and
the next day the Democratic Judge Of the
district court acknowledged these officers
as properly elected, aud they are no2
holding the Offices. This coup d'etat wss
reported to Gov. Roberts, but he has re-
fused to interfere. Elections appear to
have become a farce in Texas as in other
States of the South.-Boston Journal.

colored Republicans were forced TO leave

full investigation the correspondent has
written letters In which the report -

case, the writer asserts that the poll-tax
requirement. even after the tax is paid by
the colored man, Is used TO prevent hls
voting; that tissue tickets we're used ex-
tensively IN the late election in the district
represented By Mr.. Goode; that frauds
we're committed IN counting, etc The
