\ W0man's Way OF Curing Diph,
iberia,

Diphtheria has ravagsd many house
holds in cities, and at presentis creating
sad havoc in certain districts, hence any
remedy suggested to stay the fell dis
ease will be eagerly taken advantage OF.
The scourge has been filling many
graves in Brooklyn, New York, aud re-
Gently the Board of Aldermen. ofsthe
City of Churches discussed the cause OF
the prevalence OF the disease and sug.
gested remedies. On Tuesday afternoon
a Pennsylvania lady living not many
miles from Pittsburgh sent comfnuni-
cation on diphtheria and its cure to the
lady named. She said she was the moth,
or of six children, all Of whom had been
afflicted by the dreaded disease, and
we're cured by the following remedy:
"Take slice of fat bscon-side meat
1.-The older the better; sew it on q soft
piece Of flannel; then saturate it with
coal (petroleum) OIL Place it on the
neck, having the meat reach from ear. to
ear. After pounding several raw onions
into poultice place enough Of the same
into the patients stockings to cover the
soles Of the feet and have tho patient
put the stockings on. The poultice must
be warm in order not to chill the patient,
The throat should then be gargled with
some tomato catsup, strong with red
pepper, salt and vinegar, or pepper, salt
and vinegar shaken we'll together will
do If the,palient is too young to gar;
gle, wet the throat with q few drops. IL
vomiting occurs, lime water, purchased
at drug store with directions, should
be given. Be sure to cause an irritation

JUST AFTER THE WAR.
A Good Story Told by Senator Vest.

Talking about these times right after
the war;" said Senator Vest the other
day to a reporter of the Washington
Capital, eve certainly did have a branch
of hell down in Shreveport. Such
reign OF terrorism I never expect to
witness again. The town was held by
colored troops. There were about 100
600 bales of cotton there at the time,
and orders had been issued against
smoking on the streets. Some of our
men, through force of habit, had forgot
ten the order, and three or four had been
shot down in cold blood for having a
cigar in their mouths. One day. as a
New Orleans packet came up to the
wharf, saw Major Dufile, Of the lost
cause, one of the brayest devils that ev-
er breathed, and he was evidently going
to land.
~ noticed that he was smoking rs he
jumped ashore, and / took the first
chance TO. inform him Of the order He
laughed and said: oh, pshaw. Thafll

women, but it won't do on me, Vest
/ cautioned bim again, feeling sure there
would be trouble in the camp if any OF
those darkey sentinels should see him.
We walked up into town, he smoking
all the time, and got along we'll enough,
till suddenly a big negro stepped out

musket about FIVE feet from DUTIES head

JAKE KEMPLE AT WASH

Bowed Out of Blafne's Office Very
Politely.
Washington Republican.

The following amusing incident is re-
lated by a prominent young Republican,
from West Virginia who has keen
sense Of the ridiculous, rich vein of
humor, and fine intelligence. This young
man had been strongly indorsed by the
leading Republicans OF his State for
position in the consular service. With
his gripsack stuffed with papers and let
ters setting forth his claims 10 considera-
ton, such as good character, talent, ora,
ttorical ability, campaign services rem.

early days of the present Administration.
Immediately upon his arrival he hied
himself to the State Department to re-
mind Mr. Blaine that West Virginia had
been "solid" for him in his Presidential
contest, and now she wanted to be re-
membered for it. The Secretary promis-
ed the young man an audience at fu-
Iture date. Days and weeks passed, but.
the future date promised seemed to have
been forgotten. e..z e4sSff
Strong in patience, but poor inS pock-
ct, the gallant young Republican went to
his home.

use bis own language, he proceeded to
the Department to see what prospect
there was for getting his grist ground.
He was ushered into the presence Of
the private secretary, Walker Blaine,
Esq., and the following interview took

Jersey City, Jan. 31.-An exhibition

exhibition was of a satisfactory nature.

The Commercial says: To produce
combustion, nothing more is necessary
than by means of an atomizer to
unite dry steam and crude petroleum,
only a common inch-pipe being used
for this purpose; one for steam and the
other for oil, with cocks to regulate
the flow. A junction is made within
six inches of perforated brick retort,
which the nozzle enters, and instantly
on the match being applied, the whole
interior of the furnace, an ordinary
reverbatory smelling furnace, becomes
intensely heated, so much so that all
exposed surfaces may be easily fused.
If applied to steam boiler on loco
motive or on shipboard, it is only ne
cessary to place retorts made of fire
clay, or crate bars, thus protecting the
boiler plates from injury.

Allen, members of the Ponca commits
sion, appointed by the president. The
report of the proceedings published this
morning does not accurately represent
either the substance or the significance
of the testimony given on that occasion
according to my remembrance of what
occurred, and is published without the
authority of the committee. These
gentlemen were called before the COM
mittee. as understood, at the sugges-
tion of the secretary of the interior.
who was present with his private secre-
tary and was allowed to examine them
as if himself a member of the commit
tee. The secretary brought with him
the manuscript copies of the report
made by the commission to the presi-
dent and the evidence taken by the
commission or what he represented to
be such, which reports and evidence are
not in possession of the state or the COM
mittee. When the members of the
committee requested to be allowed to
see these papers from which he read and
asked questions he refused to allow
them to pass from his hands. While
Allen was being examined, but two
members of the committee being pre-
sent, he repeatedly protested against the
unfairness OF being submitted to such
examination and against having his
answers as to the authenticity and signi-
ficance of certain selected portions of
the report and the testimony presented
out of the circulation to the whole,
taken as contradiction or impeach-
ment of his judgment in view of all
the information obtained by him as a
member of the commission. Allen was
not understood by me to criticise any
portion of the report as ''unfortunately
worded, % but when the secretary read
a certain portion of the report, giving
it his own gloss and, questioned Allen
about its meaning, he said If he had
written that portion of the report he
might have worded it differently but he
did not himself understand it as written
to have the significance which the secre-
tary attached to it. Subsequently when
the newspaper copy of the report was
handed to Allen he discovered and
pointed out that the secretary had
in his questions ommitted portion of
the paragra phi which was essential to a
right understanding of the remainder
and plainly justified Mr.. Aliens appre-
hension of its significance. All desire
to add is that the whole proceeding was
something entirely outside of all my
previous experience of the conduct of
congressional committee investigation
or Of the tolerated treatment of wit
nesses. (Signed) II. l.. DAWES.

Some unprincipled dealers, because
have been guilty of offering worthless
genuine Sulphur Soap-Glenn's by
name. Therefore the public should
guard against this deception, and al
ways ask for GLENN'S SULPHUR
SOAP, by its full name, and take no
other.
Read the following evidence from a
highly respectable source:
G. N. Crittenton, ESQ.,:
Dear Sir.-I have travelled for three
years for Messrs. Charles Scribner's
Sons, Publishers, New York, and de-
sire to inform you that l have used
your incompatible "Glenn's Sulphur
Soap" exclusively for about four years;
also have recommended It to very many
persons, and my constant experience
has been that it possesses all the medical
advantages that you claim for it. AL
to whom have recommended it say,
rs we'll rs myself, that it deserves its es-
tablished reputation as the best and
most efliicacious Sulphur Soap that can
be used for all skin cleansing, as well
as toilet purposes. Some unprincipled
drug store keepers have endeavored to
substitute other kinds of Sulphur Soap
for Glenn's-saying that they were
'.just as good, I" but having myself tried
other kinds, 1 find NONE are $50 good
or SO beneficial as the Genuine sulphur
Soap stamped ''Glenn's," whice also 1
have learned to observe always bears

prietor,'' on the packet. Yours

Jones and the chinese Treaty.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Senator Jones
arrived here to-day from Nevada via
New York city, where he spent yester-
day. His temperance in the senate
was hailed with pleasure by his numer-
Gus friends ON both sides of the cham
Der. He arrives in good time to par
ticipate in the discussion of the Chinese
treaties and in the proceedings of the
finance committee on the, funding bill.
Ex-Minister Geo. II. Seward is now
in Washington. He sneers at the i'm
migration treaty and argues that it will
be imperative on the ground that there
will be no possibility Of distinguishing
Chinese laborers from the exempted
class who will be at liberty to come for
purposes of 'scuriosity, etc.,
