If you will stop all your extravagant
and wrong notions in doctoring your
self, and families with expensive doc
tors or humbug cure-alls, that do harm
always, and use only natures simple
remedies for all your ailments, you will
be wise, well and happy, and save
great expense. The greatest remedy
for this, the great, wise and good will

WONDERS OF TEMPERATURE.

Every one knows there is no such
separate existence as ''cold. Cold is
only an absence of heat, hence, when
we require great cold, we must use
some body which is demanding large
quantities of heat. Every solid, to be-
come liquid, absorbs large amount
of heat; this heat tcalied latent heat Is
so pre-occupied in keeping the body IN
liquid state that it can do nothing
else, and refuses to have any effect on
a thermometer placed in it. Just so
with steam. Although the tempera-
ture of the steam as it issues from the
spout OF the kettle is just the same as
that Of the water, yet we know that,
weight for weight, the steam contains
more than five times the heat which is
in the water. If then we require for
any purpose low temperature, we
must force some solid to become fluid,
or some fluid to become a vapor.
The confectioners apply this princi-
pie in making ''ices. The creamy
preparation, placed in a metallic vessel,
is immersed in broken ice mixed with
salt. Now it happens that, for some
unknown reason, salt aud ice so act up
on each other as to cause the ice to
liquify, but this it is unable to do un.
less it has heat; this it abstracts from
the cream, which consequently freezes.
Two pounds OF pounded ice mixed with
one Of common salt can reduce the tenn
perature below the freezing point OF
water, or if instead of the salt, three
parts of crystallized chloride of lime be
used, so low a temperature is produced
that mercury will freeze. Yet low as
we can get the temperature by these
freezing" mixtures, it is nothing to
the wonderful degree of intense cold
which the vaporization OF solid fluids
can produce.
There is every reason to believe that
gasses are in reality liquids in vapor.
Many of them, by being forced into
wrought iron receiver, by means of
forcing pump, can be liquitied. OF
course, when the liquids taken out OF
the receiver, and relieved of the enor-
nous pressure under which it existed,
it Immediately endeavors to return to
its gaseous state. 1t is in tremen-
dous hurry to do this, and seeing it is
unable to become a vapor without it re-
ceives a great increase Of heat, it com
mands all the surrounding bodies to de-
liver up their heat in the most peremp-
tory manner. Laughing gas, or nitrous
oxide, SO condensed under pressure OF
four hundred and fifty pounds on ev
cry square ince of the receiver which
hold the gas, and then liberated, can
produce temperature by its rapid
evaporation nearly two hundred de-
grees below the freezing point of water;
and, by causing this process to 90 on
under the exhausted received Of an air
pump, the greatest cold has been pro-
duced nearly three. hundred degrees
below the temperature of ice.
But perhaps most remarkable fact
is this: That it. is possible to
cause extremes of temperature to exist
in the closest juxtaposition. If some
Of the liquifed gas above mentioned be
placed in a red-hot' platinum crucible,
and then a. little water dropped on it,
the water will turn into ice. Imagine
freezing in a red,hot crncible; nay, even

Return or the Shooters.

The represen tatives of the Nevada
military companies who attended the
rifle tournament at Berkeley, Gala, ar
rived in Carson on the train yesterday
morning, those from the Comslock con-
| tinuing on homeward. Although re-
turning without victory, the shooting
done by our military will compare
favorably with that of the Californians,
and all things considered: we think
better. Tn the regimental contest, Of
which the First Regiment of California
was the winner, and in which eur rep
resentatives did not participate, the
score at the 200-yard range was 4l2,
and at the 500 396, making a total of
sos. AS comparison to show what
our people accomplished we have but
to state that while shooting i'm the State
match at the 2OO-yard range they
scored 40, and at the 500-yard 3Sl,
being total of 500, only eight points
behind the winning number of the
First Regiment of California When
we consider that regiment is COM
posed of ten companies, and that those
shooting in the winning match were
picked men from that number of COM
panies, and our Nevada men were only
representatives from four companies, the
showing made by our shooters is by no
means a bad one. 1t will be seen that
at the 2o0-yard range, with which the
Nevada men are familiar, they scored
seven points over the California score.

Music Hath Charms,

Deacon Parkinson, of the Carson Tri-
6mae, in commenting upon the matter
of music-loving rat having made its
appearance at Piper's Opera House,
says it is a thing not at all extraordina-
ry. He then goes on to tell that once
when he was down in Deme rara, South
America, feeling a little homesick, he
took his flute and played " Home, Sweet
Home" SO feelingly that over twenty
full-grown mice came and sat up around
him listening. We do not doubt the
fact, but still the rat at the Opera House
appears to be rather intelligent for this
latitude. They yesterday tried to
bring him out again by playing the
piano, thinking that it would probably
please him as well as the violin. They
hammered away on the piano for about
an hour, trying all manner of tunes,
but no rat came.' They had closed the
piano and were about to leave, when
all of sudden the rat appeared. 1t
came quite to the edge of the stage,
then sat upright and, displaying a bit
Of straw in its right paw, began saving
away across it's left forearm, thus say
ing as plainly as if in words that it
wanted to hear tune on the VIOLIN
Enterprise.
The above are very remarkable
stories, and as the canine generally fol-
lows the rodent species, we may appro-
priately mention peculiar feature con-
nected with our own Opera House, in
the way of coyote, presented by
Farmer Treadway to the Manager.
1t attends rehearsals, and at the close
Of each act is shown the bell-rope. At
the evening performance, when the
time arrives for ringing down the cur
tain, the coyote attends to that duty
without further instruction

No Change Needed.

The ''previousness" of American jour-
nalism was never better illustrated than
in the demands that are being made for
a body guard for the President, and
special legislation as to assaults upon his
life. The folly of the first suggestion is
manifest when one reflects that the Gar,
who was guarded as, perhaps, no man
ever was guarded, was dispatched by the
determined Nihilists. Spencer Perceval
was shot down years ago in the lobby of
the House of Commons, but no English
Minister since his time has asked for
platoon to protect his person.
The President needs no guards. His
chances of IMMUNITY from assaults are
greater than any mOnarch's, and the few
chances of danger he must take. If he
were guarded, presently his Cabinet
would want similar protection. Like
wise the Vice President, the Speaker Of
the House and other dignitaries, and if
allowed TO one it should be granted to
all. Our capital would become a camp.
The suggestion is preposterOus.
Likewise as to legislating so as to
prescribe additional penalties for assaults
upon his life. The President of the
United States is a simple American citi-
zen. If he is slain, his murderer, if re-
sponsible, should be hanged. If the
President be wounded and recover. the
penalty prescribed by the community in
whose borders the attack is made is a
sufficient punishment for the crime.
The suggestion Of Mr.. Conkling,
which portion of the press seems to
approve, in reference to this subject,
was bald subterfuge to permit him to
convey his delayed sympathy TO the
afflicted wife of the President But in
times like these the people need safer
counsellors than Mr.. Conkling. The
law that answers for the common citi
zen should answer for the President.
We need no change.

The Dem . cratic Nominee.

John w. Bookwalter, the Democratic
nominee for Governor of Ohio, is citi-
zen of Springfield, where he conducts a
large manufacturing enterprise, giving
employment to many hundreds of hands.
He was Republican until Mr.. Greeley's
candidacy for the Presidency, since
which time he has voted the Democratic
ticket, but has not taken a prominent part
in politics. 1t is claimed by the Demo
Gratis that Bookwalter will be tower of
strength with the workingmen of the
State. During the panic of 1873 and
the business depression that followed,
while other employers were cutting
down the wages of their employees,
Mr.. Bookwalter insisted that at such
a time the man who worked should
have more money for his work, and in
stead of reducing wages increased
them. His position in this matter and
others affecting the interests of working
men are known in every workshop in
the State, and it is claimed will make
him particularly strong candidate with
the men by the forge fires and in the
mines. Mr.. Bookwalter's campaigning
qualities are unknown, but the men who
know him best claim that his positive
elements of strength are ''his clean
record, great local popularity, and q
willingness to spend money literally to
further his ambition"

THE Boston YOU'VE WOMAN An
aged gentleman from the country, whose
own walk is as honest and sturdy as his
conversation, was much amazed yester.
day at beholding the appearance of a
Boston young lady. The fair creature
descended from horse Car almost at his
feet, teetered lightly on her toes thrice,
adjusted her arms like the plumed ex-
tremities of a trussed fowl, permitted
her hands to dangle as do the fore paws
of kangaroo. and sailed down the street
with sort of a willowy wabble which
set her head to bobbing after the fashion
of Chinese doll, her eyes the while
being set and anxious, and her whole
appearance suggestive of dislocatlon and
distress. And when one of our gilded
youth, in a coat with no tails to speak
of, and hat like a soup plate cooked
over his left eye, started after her with
arms and legs forming segments of
circles, after the approved traditions of
the chicken walk" he remarked that
he'd be revised if he could understand
what had got into the city folks. Boston
