TO be ON the starboard side, and on re-
turning on the larboard, which will be

OF palliatives for seasickness there is
no end. Some travellers suggest the
drinking of a gobletful of salt water,
which will cause immediate vomiting,
but prevent the malady. Others recon-
mend vinegar for the same purpose,
while porter is extolled as gentle stim-
ulant There is fashion In remedies
for seasickness as for all other maladies.
Formerly it was the fashion TO take few
drops of solution of eamphor in ehloro-
form, both of these drugs being valuable
in ordinary cases Of vomiting, Then
came bromide of potassium, and now
ehloral and nitrate of amyl are declared
10 be sure cures. Chloral, given in doses
of from fifteen to thirty grains, is said 10
produce a tranquil sleep, on awakening
from which the patient, il not cured, is
in state of comparative comfort. The
Unsuitable thirst of seasiek persons often
causes the immoderate use of ice, but
this irritates the stomach and gives a
sensation as of hot iron on the throat.
OF all liquids iced champagne is the
best, in tablespoonful doses given every
ten or fifteen minutes.

Oxygen In the Sun.

Professor Horny Draper, Of this city,
had an enthusiastic reception in London,
the other day, when he brought before
the Royal Astronomical Society the re-
suits Of his Investigations rs to the pres
ence OF oxygen in the sun. In the paper
which he read DIR. Drawer mot many of
the objections urged against his theory,
and added numerous confrmatory proofs
10 those already published Of tho sound
ness Of his conclusions. His views were
strongly supported by some magnificent
photographs of the solar spectrum, which
were greatly admired by the English
Swans. The London Times paid the
professor the compliment of laudatory
column and half article, and summed
up in his favor as follows: eve think
that most Hpectroscopists will admit that
Professor Draper docs not pass beyond
the limits of scientific caution In claim
ing that the coincidence, shown in his
photographs, between the bright lines Of
oxygen and bright parts Of the solar
spectrum establishes the probability of
the existence of oxygen in the sun. The
burden Of proof, or, rather Of disproof,
should not fall on those who consider
that the coincidence may, after all, be
merely accidental. To us IL seems that
IL such evidence as Professor Draper has
obtained Is rejected, hardly any spectre
scopie evidence can suffice 70 prove the
existence of an element in the sun. We
certainly have not stronger evidence in
tho case Of sodium, elements which every
phySicist regards as present in the sun,
than Professor Draper has obtained in
the case Of oxygen" In the discussion
which followed the reading Of the paper,
Mr.. Raynard, Mr.. Proctor and DIR. Glad
stone warmly supported DIR. Diapers
views. DR.. Huggins was overwhelmed
with sense OF the conscientious care
which DIR. Draper had bestowed upon
the investigation, but suspended his
| Judgment until no had examined the
condolences by direct vision himself.
The only dissentient voice was that Of
Mr.. Christie, of the Royal Observatory.
who was afraid II they accepted DIR. ORA

bright lines upon il, and these are again
modified by dark lines. they would be
landed in absolute uncertainty as to the
suns composition, since they would not
be able 10 ascertain whether any Of the
ordinary dark lines were merely inter
spaces between bright lines, or were alb

WHAT THE BANK DIREcToRs sAY.-At q
meeting held day or two since Of var
ious bank directors of Portland, the
question arose as TO what was the reason
Of the increase Of their deposits. A
shrewd director solved the question by
saying that heretofore the people had
been compelled to pay % cents for lunch,
but since the opening Of the now famous
Pine Street Coffee House in Portland
they had been enabled to save is cents
on each lunch, and by this arrangement
they were enabled TO make both ends
meet, and put the extra money to their
credit in the various banks.

THE PATRON, and are raising clubs for
it. They prefer THE PATRON to the more
pretentious St. Louis 9ouraakof Agrical-

per, when he wants Grange literature, to
a halfraad-haf political or agricultural

Patrons and Oranges in Arkansas and
Florida will find it greatly to their interests
TO subscribe literally for The PATRON.
The, masses need light in regard to the
principles and measures of the Order, and
their practical work and progress. Give
them this light, and they will rally to the
Grange with all the old time enthusiasm
And there is no way to give them this
Hghtso promptly, effectually and cheaply
as through an honest, earnest Grange
journal, that is devoted exclusively to the
cause. No Grange could make a better
investment than to have copy of THE
PATRON sent regularly to the home OF
each one of its members. The price oil
subscription to clubs of ten is SO low, that
any Grange can easily take ten or twenty
copies. : We hopes that every Grange in
Arkansas and Florida will now be repre-.
rented on our subscription list. t.aa ~

- Thanks to the Grange, the farmers in
many communities have been able to re,
alize important financial results from CO.
operative effort. Prior to the. organ;za-
ton of Oranges 1T is true, that through b the
influence of other associations, some pro-
gress had been made, but it was con1par-
lively slow to what it has been since. The
advantage of united effort is best illustra-
ted by the purchase of any first-class made
stock, with the combined funds of the
members of the Grange for the use Of the
members upon certain conditions. For
instance, if a thoroughbred male animal
is purchased, let the farmer who has each
year the best accommodation keep 1t. and
be paid SO much month by others for SO
doing; or let each keep itin turn. Wheth-
er in the Grange or out of it, such friendly
relations of mutual confidence and help
fulness should exist, as would admit of
such plan being carried out in a manner
agreeable to every member interested.
There is no doubt that th6 so operative
idea could be adopted with profit in
great number of ways, for the. Society
would be able to procure the very best of
everything, white in many cases the cost
wouldotherwise prevent the purchase by
| individuals. The combination of capital
in towns and villages for purpose Of fsrnIu. mnIuu.-
tual advantages has always been more more
coif1tiion than among farmers, owing no
doubt tothe more Isolated condition Of
the latter classes and their methods Of
conducting their business In such q way.
that they have not considered as fully as
they should, the advantages that almost
invariably result from mutual co opera. era
ton The question OF how can we CO. op- ol
crate as members Of the Grange to better
advantage than heretofore, IS. one that
could be discussed within the gates to the
manifest advantage OF all concerned.-

The yellow fever prevails sporadically
at Havana, Cuba, and Santos, Brazil. and
epIde,nically at Port-au- prince and Mini.
agonne. At Havana, during the week
ending on the 18TH ult., there were eight
deaths from this disease, and twenty from
small pox. At Santos, the Belgian consul
refused to give clean bills to brig and a
steamer which cleared, the first for Bull
river and the latter for Liverpool At
Miniagonne number of seamen have
died. It Was reported that out of tweIye
cases on board the Italian bark Medoro,
eight have died. One of the crew of an
American schooner died on the sd ult., and
the vessel sailed for New York, having
on board another patient, who was con-
valescing. The yellow fever has made its
appearance at Port-au Prince, it is stated,
for the first time, in fifteen years.
