Southern War CIaims-Hancock Sits Down on His Southern Supporters Would Veto All Southern Claims Legis- IatiOn.
 NEW YORK, Sept. ,24.-General Hancock has written letter on the subject ofrebeI war claims in reply to letter from Theodore Cook, of Cincinnati The correspondence is as follows:
 CINCINNATI, Ohio, Sept. 20, 1880. Generat ". s. Haplcock, Gooe'1or's Issaaad, Dear Sir enclose slips cut from the Gazette and Commercial of this city, both of them newspapers of large circulation and in f1uence in Ohio and Indiana, referring, as you will see, to the much-harped-upo sub ject in our politics of rebel claims. These newspapers and Republican stump speakers are constantly asserting that if you are elect ed President the claims of the disloyal people of the South for losses sustained in the war will be allowed and paid by the United States They further direct special attention to the fact that this charge has been made against the Democratic party and that you, its candidate for President, have not denied 1t. This war fare is made in all seriousness and maintained with great earnestness, and repeated day af- ter day in the press and in speeches. You are known to the country as frank, honest soldier. Now the representative of the Dem O. cratic party and having right to speak for it, whatever you may say the people will hear and believe I submit the matter to your good judgment as to what you should say, or whether you should make any public utterance at all. Very respectfully yours,

much Importance to be omitted. About
two miles east of here, in the foothills of the
Dragons, are some quartz veins that were
discovered about three months ago. Work
has been pushed on several of these quartz
veins until at the depth of forty feet veins
of sizes varying from two and half to six
feet in width, that are full of free gold,
have been laid bare, and the ore across the
veins have sampled as high as sl32 per ton
in gold, with little silver. Many speci-
mems from gold mines of Arizona have
given assays in gold into the thousands
at all depths. Before closing this letter
| must add word or two about the men
who are buying mines in Arizona They
are Eastern men, most of them from New
England and Pennsylvania. California is
buying but little. Eastern people have
shown superior Judgment, business
tact and shrewdness ia their operations,
while the "self-risers have wasted their
chances in plotting stock-jobbing opera.
tions. The Eastern capitalist came and
paid his grand cash, and secured rare
prizes. The "self-riser stands looking
on with one eye, while watching the Com
stock quotations with the other. They do
too much of their mining on Montgomery
and California streets. New England is
entitled to the credit of making this
country. The Eastern people have secured
nearly all the grand prizes in this camp.
The Oil City men are now the Richmonds
in the field and buying everything that
shows value, while the California capital
list comes with his little game to take a
deed of the mine, stock it, give the owner
part of the stock for his purchase money,
then 90 East and sell the rest. The miners
and mine-owners are dropping on this,
and hence a real California millionaire is
overlooked, while the Oil City gent receives
all the attention. SPICER.

HOT WEATHER DRINK.

During hot weather, and while engaged
in harvest operations, good deal OF liquid
is necessarily imbibed, for the pores are
open and perspiration flows out. The
question is, what is the best to drink
'sOn board steamers the tiremen employed
about the furnaces are sometimes greatly
exhausted by heat. Their profuse perspi-
ration renders large quantity OF water
necessary to supply the waste. The nges-
ton of clear water under the circumstances
appears to answer very imperfectly the
wants of the system. 1t seems to pass
through the circulation to the skin, perco-
lates as through sieve and flows over the
surface of the body in streams. A large
drink of cold, or even cool water, under
these circumstances, on an empty stomach,
is very dangerous, and liable to produce
death with almost the suddenness of an
electric shock. Great practical advantage
has been obtained by mixing fsrinaceous
substances, particularly oatmeal, with the
water to be used by the men employed at
this kind of labor. The oatmeal Is mixed
in proportions of three or four ounces to
gallon of water, and used according to in
clination by the tiremen and coal beavers.
1t might be difficult to determine why oat-
meal for this purpose should be better than
cornmeal, or buckwheat, or rye, wheat,
millet, ETC., but the firemen themselves
seem to think it has the effect OF making
them as strong as horses. We may safely
allow something for this sort of prejudice,
which we know to be very portent among
the influences on health and disease. The
peculiar aroma of the oats is probably as
ISOLATED with pleasant degree of stimula-
ton of the alimentary mucous surface in
such way as to promote its complete di-
gestion. 1t seems to fill the blood-vessels
without increasing the amount of cutane-
Gus exhalations. The men occasionally try
acid, saccharine or alcoholic drinks as SUBJ
stitutes for the oats, but always with un-
satisfactory results, except that they find
molasses and water better than clear water,
and they who are disposed to insist on the
excellence Of rum and whisky under all cir
cumstances petition for these, and expert
ence after each ingestion a momentary re.
lief, followed by additional profuseness of
perspiration and exhaustion.

TOMBSTONE old Eastern Nevadan
recently removed to Arizona, thus writes
to the Silver Reef Miner in regard to
Tombstone
This camp is Virginia City in EN- bryo,
and reminds one forcibly of early days on
the Comstock. All is life and hustle, the
saloons being crowded nightly by drinkers
and players, who gamble away or gulp
down their cash to the dulcet strains OF
banjo, harp and violin. Twenty cents
is all it costs to "smile." Many large and
costly buildings are in course of erection to
be occupied as hotels, banks, stores, sa-
looms, etc. We have an incorporated vii
lage, supplied with full set of officers.
The town is run on the high pressure prin-
ciple, and in point of business and solid
worth ranks second in the Territory.
Games of all descriptions are running in
full blast night and day, mostly confined
to two or three houses, which do land
office business. Land jumping has COM
menced and trouble may result. This is
the quietest mining camp | ever saw, but l
think it cannot last long, as the near APP
proach Of the railroad will fill the country
with all classes of the rougher types Ct hu-
mauity. We are situated thirty miles from
the Sonora line, and about forty miles
southeast of the Southern Pacific Railroad
at the crossing of the San Pedro. A branch
railroad will be built almost Immediately
from the Southern Pacific Railroad to
Tombstone via Contention and Charleston,
and telegraph line to tap the railroad is
contemplated. Two stages ply daily be-
tween here and the end of the track, car.
rying full loads. We are away up here
something over 1000 feet above the sea-
level-and in range of the gulf breezes,
which visit Us daily. Four dollars day is
the rate of miners wages, and there is
plenty of work. The country is full Of
tenderfeet, protesting to be miners, who
work about one shift and then get let out.

Useful Information.

To KEEP HAIR IN CURL have no
practical knowledge of this recipe, nature
having curled my hair for me, but ladies
who have tried it recommend it. Take a
few ounce seeds, boil them in water, and
add perfumery if you like; wet the hair
with this, and it will keep in curl some
time. The seed can be bought at drug
store for few cents an ounce, Gentlemen
who wear out their patience trying to
curl their whiskers and mustaches, will
please cut this recipe out and paste it on
their mirrors. d. V.
To REMOVE OLD PAINT.-A writer to the
English Mechanic says "The cheapest and
best solution that know of 1 accidentally
discovered, and it may be worth while to
tell how, though very likely some may
know of it. In trying experiments for
press copying some old letters, among 9th
ers I used successfully solution of one
tablespoonful of vinegar and one ounce OF
washing soda to half pint of water. A
little of this was spilled ON the painted
window sill, and in wiping it up the paint
came entirely off, leaving the bare board
quite clean. Try it; gallon will not cost
fifty cents.
To Boil A HAM.-Scrape well, and IN
less fresh enough, soak it for four hours,
then wrap in a coarse towel and place it in
kettle of cold water. Add handful OF
clean timothy hay, carrot, two celery
roots, two medium-sized onions, two bay
leaves. six cloves and little parsley and
THYME. If the kettle is of porcelain or
granite, or even bright tin one, put in a
teacup of good cider vinegar, but do not
! lya{41a tba
water to a boil and do not let it stop for
three or four hours, according to the size of
the ham. Leave it in the water until a
| little cool, then skin, trim and sift thin
layer of finely rolled crackers over it. Bake
for two hours in moderate oven. A poor
ham cooked in this way is made passable,
and a good one is rendered four-fold better
than by simple boiling.
CARE OF THE EYEs.-The care of the
eyes is urged by Arthur Chevalier in a new
French work. The use of the eyes, he
says, should be regulated by their strength,
and they should never be overtaxed. A
habit of resting them during work is re-
commended. Thus, in reading or writing,
stop from time to time, and allow the eyes
to wander over surrounding objects. To
persist in working after symptoms of IA
tigue appear is foolish. As soon as the
eyes begin to itch, or grow red, or any pain
is felt in the eyeballs, work should be dis
continued and cold water applied. Do not
pass suddenly from darkness into bright
light. All artificial lights are injurious.
The author adds: eff person cannot
tear himself away from close work he can
at least vary his occupation. Let him close
his eyes from time to time, and take a turn
around his room; or, what is better, take
a walk in the fresh air; this, even if it be
but for few minutes only, will do him a
great deal of good"

The Use of Lemons.

The lemon tree is native OF Asia, al
though it is cultivated in Italy, Portugal,
and in the south of France. In Europe,
however, it seldom exceeds the dimensions
of the smallest tree, while in its native
state it grows to over sixty feet in hight.
Every part of this tree is valuable in medl-
cine. though we rarely employ any of it
but its fruit, that is the lemon itself. And
every one knows how to employ this, as IN
lemonade To squeeze the juice into cold
water-this is the shortest way or to cut
it in slices and let it soak in cold water; or
to cut it in slices and then boil it. Either
way is good. Lemonade Is one OF the best
and safest drinks for any person, whether
in health or not. 1t is suitable to all stom-
ach diseases, is excellent in sickness-in
cases of jaundice, gravel, liver complaints,
inflammation of the bowels, and fevers.
1t is specific against worm and
skin complaints. The pippins, crushed
may also be used with water and
sugar, and taken as drink. Lemon juice
is the best anti-scorbutic remedy known.
1t not only cures this disease, but prevents
it. Sailors make daily use of it for this
purpose. Let every one rub their gums
daily with lemon juice, to keep them IN
health. The hands and nails are also kept
clean, white, soft and supple by the daily
use of lemon instead of soap. 1t also pre-
vents chilblains. Lemon is used in inter
mittent feyers, mixed with strong, hot,
black coffee, without sugar. Neuralgia
may be cured by rubbing the part affected
with cut lemon. 1t is valuable also to
cure warts, and to destroy dandruff on the
head by rubbing the roots of the hair with
it. In fact, its uses are manifold, and the
more we employit externally and internally,
the better we shall find ourselves. Natu-
raj remedies are the best, and Nature is the
best doctor, if we would only listen to it.
Decidedly rub your hands, head and gums
with lemon, and drink lemonade in pref
erence to all other liquids. This is an old
doctors advice Exchange.
