CAMPAIGN THUNDER.

The gazette d BuHetU fired off its first
campaign ,quib on Wednesday in the shape
OF Il column article on the terrible Democra-
cy. This indicates to certain extent what
the tactics of the average organ will be from
now until the fail election.
The Ga-lttc d BU'le''a has evidently been
suffering from nightmare. 1t sees all sorts
Of things flying around, Just listen;
"a return to Democratic misrule means a
revival Of all the sectional chickering's of the
period preceding the war; it mean, clog to
the wheels Of industry; blight on the pro-
gr6ss Of the country, and the assumption OF
the confederate deb.. -
Both houses Of Congress are now under
the control of the Democrats. Has this re
suited in a clog to the wheels of industry
is there blight on the progress of the
country? Does not the Gq.eite d BuHefn
know that when that "traitorous Organizl
tiou' known as the Democracy, got control
OF the government, business began to revive,
ana that now every industry in the country
is booming? OF course it does. Democrat
ic "misruie saved millions Of dollars a year
es inauguralcl under the Grant admini.trd-
ton, and drove IRON office the thieves who
were saPping the life blood of the nation.
It brought to punishment the rascals who
were ieasting on spoil, drawn from the pock-
cts Of the people. 1t has brought peace
and quiet to the South, and the "bloody
shirt business has come to be such farce
that scarcely a reputable journal ia the
North will any longer repeat the absurd
campaign lies Of Democratic intimidation 10
the Southern States. Though there are "A
quarter of a million more democrats in the
United States to-day than Republicans, we
are called traitors while they are the iOy1'
peoph. If to deuounce the theft Of the Pres
ideucy, the trampiug on the Constitution
and the laws he keeping in office of known
thieves aud rascals the proposition to repeat
the abuse of Grants administration by elect
ipg him to a third term, be treason, then
make the most OF it.
The old cry about paying the confederate
bonds is too threadbare to notice. No such
proposition has ever been entertained for a
moment, and never will be, But we may as
well make up our minds to listen to all this
nonsense for some month"; to come. We will
no Goubt be told that not a drop of Demo-
cratic blood was shed in the late war; that
the election Of Il Democratic president will
rssul. in another con iederacy, &c, &c. But
no one will believe what they know to be
false and this kind Of campaign thunder
will be found, when too late, to have fired
the hearts Of all hyly loyal citizens with
the determination to wipe IRON existence a
party that has kept itself alive for years on
public spoilalion, trickery and iaIsehood,
and will result in the election and inaugu-
ration Of the man whom the Democratic
party shall name at Cincinnati for Presi-
dent of the United States

The circular Of the mercantile agency OF
r. G.. Dun & Co., for the first quarter Of
1850 is very encouraging. 1t says;
The failures for the first quarter of the
present year, number only ,432, with la
blities of only $l2,771O74, These figure.
are exceptionally small, and show a DE-
crease in the number of casualties of nearly y
one-half as compared with the first quarter
of any previous year since 1874 The liabiI-
tiles are less than they were ever before re-
ported in any quarter since the commence
ment of the publication of QucrteIly Re-
turns. 1t is a fact full Of significance that
the Indebtedness of failed parties, in the firsi
three months OF the present year, do not
equal one fourth OF the sum to which they
amounted in any first quarter in the last
preceding six years As time progresses the
figures relating to failures seem to Indicate a
steady continuance Of favorable condition.

Water as a Part of Diet.

The St. Louis Globe has published ex-
tracts from book entitled GLOW to get
Plump" by DR.. T. G. Duncan, showing
the necessity to the human system of
frequent draughts of water. DR.. Dun
can says that flew people appreciate the
fact that, as Dalton explains. water con-
stitutes in the normal human subject
about seventeen per cent. of the entire
weight of the body. The water which
thus forms part of the animal frame is
derived manly from without. It is ia
ken in the different kinds of drink,
| and also forms an abundant ingredient
III the various articles of food. Water is
abundant in the blood and secretions,
where its presence is indispensable in Or
der to give them the fiuldity which IS
necessary to the performance of their
functions. Water is, therefore, an essen
tial ingredient of the fluids, tor it holds
these solid materials in solution, and en-
ables them to pass and repass through
the animal frame. Water is al
so an ingredient of the solids-muscles,
tendons, cartridges, bones, teeth, glands,
skin, etc. It the water OF tendons, skin,
etc., become evaporated they become
yellow1sh in color, shriveled and unfit
for performing,th functions. This ac-
counts for the sallow appearance Of lean
people.
''With these facts before us" continues
DR.. Duncan, "We can readily understand
why person who does not take much
water except in foods is lean. Lacking
the necessary duidity, the functions are
all performed with difficulty. Many
cases OF dyspepsia are due to lack of
water. Many cases OF headache can be
relieved by increasing the fiuidity of the
blood. Many case Of functional palpi-
tation of the heart car be mitigated by
increasing the volume Of the circulating
fluid with an extra pound of water. l
generally order half pint of water, to
be taken four times day, early in the
morning, about 10 A. NJ, P. NJ, and be
fore retiring. forbid cold water to be
taken at the meals, for the reason that
the stomach is then at its highest func-
tional activity and cold lowers its tenn
perature and retards digestion. Warm
fluids, like milk and water, facilitate the
solution of the food and hasten it's as
similation. in some old dispeptics where
the food is slow of digestion have found
that glass of hot water, drank an hour
or so after the meal, will restimulate the
stomach to complete its work.

Fighting With an Oct0pus.

The occupation OF a diver is one that
offers but little attraction TO those who
by temperament have no fancy for ex-
plorlng the ''mysteries of the deep" It
is however, not so monotonous an en-
ployment as might be imagined, and
divers often meet with exciting adven-
lures while engaged in their labors. One
of these the other day fell to the lot of a
government diver in Victoria, Mr.. Smale,
while at work on the bed of the Moyne
river, at Belfast, in that colony. and from
the account he gives of 1t in the Mel
bourne Argus it must have 0een more
exciting than pleasant. Having thrust
his arm into hole, he found that cit was
held by something; the action of the
water was stirring up the clay, and there
fore could not see distinctly for q few
minutes; but when it did clear away
saw to my horror the arm of a large
octopus entwined around mine like boa
constructor; just then he fixed some of
his suckers on the back of my hand, and
the pain was intense. I felt as If nv
hand was being pulled 20 pieces, and the
more tried to take it away the greater
the pain became; and from the past ex-
perience knew this method would be
useless; but what was I to do lying in
this position2 l had the greatest diff
Guilty in keeping nay feet down, as the
air rushed along the interior of my dress
and inflated it; and if my feet had gone
uppermost I should soon have become
insensible, held in such position; and
also if had given the signal to be pulled
up the brute would have held on, and the
chances would have been that l should
have had broken arm. 7 had ham
mer by me, but could not reach down to
use 1t on the brute. There was small
Iron bar about five feet from me. and
with my feet drag ged this along until
[ could reach it with my lett hand. And
now the fight commenced; the more 1
struck him the tighter he squeezed. until
my arm got quite benumbed; after
while found the grip began to relax
little, but he held on until l had almost
cut him to pieces, and then he relaxed his
hold from the rock and pulled him up.
was completely exhausted, having been
in that position for over twenty minutes.
1 brought the animal up, or rather part
of it. We laid him out, and he measured
over eight feet across, and feel perfect

held down five or six men,

After that l grew calmer. There was
no more hope, and SO the quiet of despair
