A "Confederate Brigadier' Rules

The Boston Herald, an Independent
Republican paper, very truthfully says !:
Malone evidently has his thumb on
the Republican "msjority" in the Senate.
They have got their committees-he
means to have his Secretary and Ser
geant. Many Of the Senators would
like to end the deadlock and proceed
to business. But it is mo CO." Cor
ham and Riddleberger are the issues
upon which the fate of parties and the
affairs of government tnrn. The calam
ity which Senator Conkling copjured up
in bis Brooklyn speech has come to
pass. A Confederate brigadier" die
tates the policy Of the government
And on this noble issue Massachusetts
Senator says bis party will stand "till
the crack of DOOM" If we were in an
election this month, we fancy the obedi-
ent subjects of King Caucus would hear
the crack.

I'd Harrer Up Your Souls till You
Couldn't Sleep for Two Weeks.

An Arkansas settler thus describes in
the Free Press the lager as it prevails in
that State :-"Gentlemen, let me harrer
your souls with few timely remarks.
Your Michigan ager is grasshopper, and
one dose Of ky-neen knocks 'er dead. Out
in Illinoy the ager is bigger-about like
squirrel. In Missouri she's about the size
of a woodchuck, and when she strikes down
in Arkansaw she's wolf three feet high,
and seven feet long, and built to take hold
like thousand buzz-saws. Great slams
but what tussels I've had with that ere
critter! Say, did you ever ride in one
boss wagon over a stone-quarry Was
yer ever seated on the top rail of fence
when hurricane moved it at the rate of
six miles minnit? Did you ever have a
cyclone pick We up and mop ye over forty
acres of river bottom, wollop We through
ten acres of woods, and use We for tool to
knock down hundred acres of cane brake?
Well, that hain't the ager-not the Arkan-
saw kind it's only the first faint prelimi-
naries'
He stopped to relight his cigar. and then
continued:
Il hain't long to live and I don't keer
to stretch the thing any. Tellin' the truth
has allus been my strong pint, and allus
will be. Maybe yell git an idea of the
Arkansaw ager when l tell We that l once
unlimited both shoulders in shakin, and it
was light shake at that When I had
one of my reg'lar double-back-action shakes
l could jar a jug of whiskey out Of the
crotch of a tree twenty yards off. Nobody
dast pile up cord-wood within half mile of
my cabin, and that's solemn fact. | de-
voured ky-neen just as you would cat corn
beef, and my hull system got so bitter that
dog who smelt my leg did not get the
pucker out of his mouth inside of ten days,
Gentlemen, l do not wish to prolong this
agony. Ny failin' is CAB Fust | know
I'll jump the ager and begin on Arkansaw
shelters, and when got thar I'd harrer yer
souls til ye couldn't sleep for two weeks:
We will now have some Ticker, and ] will
then seek few needed reposes."

SUPPLEMENT TO THE DEMOCRATIC ADVOCATE.
Curing a Cold.

\ medical journal tells how one man was
cured of cold He boiled little worm
wood and horehound together, and drank
freely of the tea before going to bed. The
next day he took five pills, put one kind of
plaster on his breast, another under his
arms, and still another on his back. Tn
der advice from an experienced old lady,
he took all these off with an oyster knife
in the afternoon, and slapped on a mustard
poultice instead Then he put some hot
bricks to his feet and went to bed. Next
morning another lady came in with bot
tie of goose OIL and gave him dose of it
on quill; and an aunt arrived about the
same time with bundle of sweet fern,
which she made into tea, and gave him ev-
cry half hour until noon, when he took
big dose of salts. After dinner his wife,
who had seen fine old lady of great ex-
perience in doctoring, gave him two pills OF
her own manufacture about the size OF
walnut, and of similar shape, and two Ia
blespoonfuls of homemade balsam to keep
them down. Then he took half pint of
hot rum, at the suggestion of an old sea
captain visiting in the next house. and
steamed his legs with an alcoholic bath.
At this crisis two of his neighbors arrived,
who saw at once that his blood was out Of
order, and gave him half gallon of spear
mint tea and big dose of castor oil. Be
fore going to bed he took eight Of a new
kind of pills, wrapped about his neck a
piece of flannel soaked in hot vinegar and
salt, and had feathers burnt on a shovel in
his ROOM He is now cured, and full of the
deepest gratitude.

not going to be bossed any longer by his

':Mrs. Topnoody, Mrs. Topnoody!' Mrs;
T. came out of the kitchen with drop of
sweat on the end of her nose, a dishrag tied
around her head, and rolling-pin in her
hand. "Well, sir" she said, 'what'l you
have?" Topnoody staggered, but braced
up. Mrs. Topnoody, | want you to un-
derstand, madam and he tapped on his
breast dramaticalIy--"I am the engineer of

you? Well, Topnoody, l want you to I'M

and he meekly inquired if he could render
any assistance in the housework.
