SUMMER COMPLAINT.

A PROTECTION AGAINST FLIES AND MosQUi-
ToEs.-A young friend of mine, severely bitten
by mosquitoes, and unwilling to. be seen so dis
figured, sent for quassia chips and poured boiling
water upon them. At night, after washing, she
dipped her hand into quassia water and left IT
10 dry on her face. This a perfect protec-
ton, and continued to be SO whenever applied.
At the approach of winter. when flies and gnats
get into houses and sometimes bite venom0usly,
a grandchild of mine, Is months old, was thus
attacked. i gave the nurse some of my weak
solution of qnassia to be left to dry face,
and he was not bitten again. 1t is innOcuOus to
children, and it may be a protection, also,
against bed insects, which have not had the
opportunity of irving. When the solution Of
quassia is strong, It is well known to be an act
i've fly poison, and is mixed with sugar to at.
tract flies but this is not strong enough to Kill

SYRUP FOR PREsERvEs.-Take eight pounds
of bright, New Orleans or sugar-house moiasses,
eight of pure water, and one pound coarsely
broken charcoal. Boil together for twenty min
utes, and then strain through a flannel cloth
folded double. Return the liquor to the kettle,
with the white of one fresh egg, and boil mode
rately till the syrup forms n candy of the desired
consistency, and strain again. This syrup is

for tarts and is preferred by many people to that
made of the best sugar. being less liable to candy

GRAPES AND BTIOUsNEss.-Grapes are rec
commended as cure for biliousness. This fruit,
by its agreeable acidity, acts on the system as
to relieve it of its bile and thus remove the cause
of symptoms enumerated, and that is ''cure."
The Immediate cause of all discomfort is "cOn-
finedD condition of the system; the seeds of the
grapes act as an irritant as they pass along the
alimentary canal and cause it TO water just
Ms the eye waters if hard substance touches it.
This watering dissolyes the more solid matters
contained in the intestines, washes" them out,
and the man is well. The covering of the grapes
should be chewed but not swallowed.

CUCUMBER PICKIEs.-A correspondent of the
Detroit Tribune thinks she has about good a
recipe for these pickles as can be found: "Pick
and wash clean, and put the cucumbers into
brine for twenty-four hours; take them out and
put them into vinegar Continue this until yOu
have enough to fill your jar; then take some new
vinegar, into which put a small piece of alum, a
little sugar, and a small bag of cinnamon and
cloves; boil in brass kettle; have the pickles
taken from the old vinegar and packed in jar
closely, aud covered with peach leaves. Pour
on the hot vinegar and cover closely, and place
in a cool cellar They will be ready for the table
in few days, and will keep till cucumbers grow
again."

states OF this union to-day, whom the
democratic party control absolutely ?
The republican party is the party of
foothold. The democratic party is
united in but one thing, and that is in
getting control of the government in all
its branches. 1t is for internal improve
ments at the expense of the government
i'll one section and against this in an
other. It favors the reputation of
solemn obligations in one section and
honest payment of its debts in another,
where public opinion will not tolerate
any other view. 1t favors fiat money in
one place and good money in another.
Finally, it favors the "pooling of all
issues not favored by the republicans,
to the end that it may secure
one principle, upon which the party
is almost harmonious unit,
namely, the acquiring control of the
government in all it's branches. I have

many who were against us in the war
and who have been against the republi-
can party ever since. They were in all
instances reasonable men. Judging by
what they said, I believe then and be-
lieve now, that they sincerely want a
breakup in this solid south. They see that
1t is to their pecuniary interest, as we'll
as to their happiness, that there should
be harmony and confidence between all
sections. They want to break away from
slavery, which binds them to party
name. and they want a pretext that
enough of them can unite upon to make
it respectable. Once started, the
solid south will 20 as kuklux-

those who start it will be surprised to
find how many of his friends have been
in favor of itfor long time and now only
been waiting to see some one take the
lead. This desirable solution can only
be obtained by the defeat and the con-
tinued defeat OF the democratic party, as
now constituted. ~
