Our Real Interests.

July 25th. 1881.
Mr.. Editor AS the time for our prima-
ries is drawing near, all of us watch with
interest the different candidates as they ap-
pear before the public and express their
views in regard to the questions which now
command the attention of every good and
true citizen in our county. 1t behooves us
then, Democratic friends, to be on the qui
ctOe, as there are and will yet be men who,
though they promise much, perform but lit
tie, and are ever willing to take the advan-
tage of a generous public and deprive them
of what is lawfully theirs. Let us have men
who especially favor local option and pub
lie schools. About the only benefit we de-
rive from taxation is the meagre schooling
we obtain from our schools for our little
ones, and which for number of years has
been meagre indeed. | would say nothing
derogatory to the present incumbents, but
would say let us vote for no man who has
not at,cays been friend to the advance
ment of education.
We find among the candidates for posi-
ton many who profess great interest for the
advancement of our county's welfare, but
in reality are working for their own at the
expense OF people who, for the most part,
are good and sincere citizens.
To the teachers of our schools would say
You have it in your power, to some extent,
to decide who shall hold your destiny in
their hands. Look then to your own inter
est, vote for no man who is an enemy to
education, exert your influence with your
friends and you will yet see the day when
to be teacher in public school of Mont
gomery county will be an honor, which
only good, industrious teacher can enjoy.

Members of the company were on a visit of
inspection last week and carried off many
fine specimens of gold. 1t is said that a
ledge has been struck, which yields very
large percentage of gold. The company
has discovered the means of saving the sui
plnrets separating it, by which means the
profits win be greatly augmented. You
may yet hear of an Eldorado in old Mont
gomery, as they are making preparation to
increase the facilities. You shall hear again
shortly.

On the wings of seraph she scared TO the

And tender affection could bring no relief
Thou hast found it in Heaven with angels

Whose soft, loving bosom now pillows its
child
We weep not, dear mother, though short

Thy Saviour has won thee and called you
away;
Thy dear ones embrace thee in love ms Of

Thy sorrows have ended and thy trials are

Enraptured in glory with joy and surprise;

animal, recovering itself, set upon the
10y with true feline grit, and the next
moment they were engaged in lively
tussle, while little Chic ran back and
forth shouting for help at the top of her
voice.
The woods resounded with the con-
fused medley. Jad now found that he
must fight fer his life, and with another
desperate blow he again stunned the
creature, and, before he could recover,
the resolute boy despatched him.
Dropping the hatchet, Jad threw him
self on the ground, painting and ex-
hausted. Poor little Chic now came
timidly forward, trembling and casting
frightened glances at the animal, as if
she half expected it would even now
leap upon her.
90 Jad = cried the little girl, seeing
the boys tattercd frock, "you must be
awful hurt And, oh, see your arm"
"No, I amt hurt, neither" declared
Jad, stoutly, sitting up, mot much, any
way. That's only a little stratch |"
regarding his arm ruefully.
1t was a pretty big one, however.
Binding some birch withers firmly
about the creatures hind legs, Jad, with
little Chlos assistance, dragged him to
the house.
"My patience alive~ cried the mother,
running to the door, as she caught sight
of the children. "Jad Dunlap you ven
turesome boy where did you get that
wild cat ?"
"He got into our trap, an then run
off up tree with it, and Jad clim' up
after 'im," little Chic hastened to
explain. 81 told him not TO-" she
added, seeing the gathering reproof in
her mothers eyes.
"And you got well scratched" said
Mrs. Dunlap, turDing Jod about and
eyeing his frock and bleeding arm. 81
guess twill learn you to let wildcats
alone !"
"He won't eat any more of my mink,
anyway" muttered Jad.
He did not get much sympathy from
his father, either, who chided him
severely for his want of prudence, and
bade him be more cautious in the future,
about attacking such animals.
1t took long time TO heal up Jad's
lacerated arms and shoulders, and it was
number of days before he got over the
soreness and lameness enough to visit
his traps. However, Jad was not troubled
again that fall, while two more mink
were added to his little pile of furs
which he sent on his fathers load down
to the settlement" not long after.

A New TxhiInrnting Snhstance.

DIR. Luton. of Rheims, France, calls
attention in a French medical paper to
the exhilarating properties of the tine
ture of ergot of rye when associated
with phosphate of soda, The circum-
stances of the discovery were as follows:
A woman of sixty-two, at the infrmary
of the Maison de Retraite, in Rheims,
was receiving tincture of ergot of rye for
disease in the knee. Fearing an un-
favorable turn, the doctor thought to
strengthen the action of that medica-
ment with phosphate of soda, and &C
cordingly combined little of the two
substances in quarter Of glass Of
sweetened water. The patient, about
three-quarters of an hour after taking
this, surprised the inmates by bursting
into loud laughter, without obvious
reason, and this continued for more
than an hour, with brief intervals. The
laughter seemed to be associated with
merry ideas, and to indicate kind of
intoxication. For some time after it
died down the woman was in great
spirits and good humor. DIR, Luton had
not witnessed the scene, but the con-
sequence to the patient being good, he
administered the substance again, and
hi rd time, observing the same effect.
The experiments were further repeated
on seven or eight women and girls, with
like result In the case Of men, the
action Of the substance is less marked;
it appears only in coloring of the face,
giddiness and slight headache. The
effects in question have probably u
common origin, IL is thought, with those
from eating rye-broad when, in rainy
years, the cereal contains as much as
Ave per cent. of ergot. A sort of intox-
ication is produced, which the consum.
ers by no means despise,

The Rev. Dr. Theodore Cuyler writes
of visit to Bethlehem in the New York
EomgeLiSt as follows We set our faces
for the pools of Solomon, halting few
moments at the tomb of Rachel by the
roadside. The small structure was
crowded with Jews, some of whom were
phylacteries, and all were wailing, as
they wall beside the remnant of tho
temple walls. One old woman was weep
ing and pressing her withered cheek
against the tomb with as much distress
as if the fair young wife who breathed
out her life there forty centuries ago
had been her own daughter. We found
the enormous pools of Solomon (the
longest of which measures $50 feet in
length we're about half filled with pure
water. We rode beside the aqueduct
that leads from them all the way to
Bethlehem. Down among the bleak
and barren hills we saw the deep, fer
tile vale of Urtas, filled with gardens
and fruit trees. 1t is cultivated by the
European colony planted by Mr.. Mes.
hullam. For half hour We feasted
our eyes with the view of beautiful Beth
lehem perched on its lofty hill and sur
rounded by olive orchards. SO many
new edifces have been erected for con-
vents and other religious purposes that
Bethlehem has almost modern look.
As we rode through its narrow streets
we saw no Ruths, but an ancient Jew in
turban, long robe and flowing beard,
quite answered to my idea of Boaz. We
rode to the conventadj Joining the Church
Of the Nativity, where rather jolly
looking monk furnished us an excellent
lunch. He then took us into the ven
erable church that covers the subterra-
mean chamber in which tradition has al
ways held that our blessed Lord was
born. The chamber is probably rem
nant of IN ancient khan once belonging
to the family of Jesse and King David.
l expected to be shocked by sham
mockery when / entered the church,
but feeling of genuine faith in the
locality came over me as descended
into the rocky chamber and read, around
tho silver star, the famous inscription in
Latin, "Here Jesus Christ was born Of the
Virgin Mary" The three-fold argument
for the authenticity of this site is drawn
from unbroken tradition, from the fact
that Bethlehem has never been over
thrown in sieges, and from tho other
fact that Che learned 81. Jerome lin the
fourth century, was so sure of the site
that he came and spent his long, labo-
rious life in the cavern close by the
birth spot of our Lord l entered with
deep interest the cave in which this de-
vout scholar meditated and prayed and
wrought tho Vulgate translation of
Gods word. My visit to the Church of
the Nativity was ten.fold more satisiac.
