A Sovereign Remedy for Smallpox and
Scarlet Fever.

About two years ago The Record made
known through its columns a smallpox sDe-
cifc which had been given to the public by
correspondent of the Stockton (Cal.) Herald,
who declared that it had been successful
used to his knowledge in hundreds of cases,
and would prevent smallpox, OF cure it even
though the pIttlnCs were filling. The recipe
was originally published panacea for
smallpox by some of the most scientific schools
Of medicine in Paris. 1t is claimed TO be OF in
fallibic efficacy. It IS a cure also for scarlet
fever, and is harmless when administered to
well persons. Following IS the prescription
Sulphate OF zinc, one grain fOXgloye dig
italis), one grain half a teaspOOnful of sUg-
ar mix with two tableSpoOnfulS Of water.
When thoroughly mixed add four ounces Of
water. Take spoonful every hour. The
disease will disappear in twelve hours. For
children smaller doses should be given &C

A subscriber of The Record called at this
Office yesterday with a slip cut from the is
sue Of this paper which contained the recipe
above given, and stated that the preparation
had cured his child of smallpox IL one dav
The remedy appears 70 be precisely the same
as that now being dispensed to scores Of peo-
pie daily at St JOseph'S Orphan Asylum, at
the corner Of Seventh and Spruce streets. in
this city, and which has been found remark
ably efficacious. Mother Gonzaga, the ven
cradle head Of the instution, who is busily en-
gagged in cOmpOunding the medicine, has been
member of the Order OF Sisters Of Charity
for dfty-fOur years, and Is now the Mother
Superior Of the order in this city. She states
that she received the specific from Father
kenrich, OF Germantown, some ten years
ago, who first had it from French physician
who discovered it during the prevalence sf a
smallpox epidemic in Paris, where it had
been used with great success. When the Sis
ter first began to make it she voluntarily sent
a bottle or two to families that she knew
were suffering from smallpox the result
was so surprisingly beneficial that the report
rapidly spread, and in a short time the news
was known all over the neighborhoOd. Sew
eral priests in the city have not only recon-
mended it, but announced to their cOIgrega-
tions where it could be procured, and the ad-
ditiOnal publicity thus given has necessitated
the constant labor Of all the Sisters in the
work OF preparation. It is made in a large
copper vessel which'hOlds eight gallons and
not tinfrequently twenty gallons day are dis
tTibuted. ANY person can procure it, no dis
tinctlCn being made on account of religion.
IL IS given free where persons are unable to
pay, nut those who desire can make a small
Offering in return for it. 1t is the custom Of
the Sisters to send out printed prayer and
a small scapular of the Sacred Heart with
each bottle. Many cases of cure are recount
ed by people in the vicinity, and the Sisters
say that in no case where il has been used
has it failed to give the best results.-Phild-

The outrageous and plundering River
and HarbOT bill, after having passed the
House by the well-knewn and corrupt
practice Of ''log rolling" was loaded
down in the Senate by additional appro-
priations amounting to about q million
OF dollars, and passed that body finally,
on last Saturday night, By vote Of 30
yeas TO y nays. If Mr.. Hayes had only
backbone enough to put the unsightly
bautling in its little bed with his veto
for a covering, he would receive the ap-
plause Of the whole country. That
however, would be expecting too much
OF good thing from such a source, and
he has no doubt already made himself q
party to the fraud by giving the bill his
approval In the final throes Of its pas
sage through the Senate, Judge Thur
man and Mr.. Wallace vigorously and
eloquently protested against its passage
as whole, and pointed out the down
right robbery and glaring fraud on the
public treasury of many Of its features.
1t was alike creditable TO both OF these
Senators thus to mark the closing hours
OF their terms in Congress by sternly re-
sisting such giant wrong, FOR the per
petration of which both Democrats and
Republicans in Congress must be held
equally responsible.

TO-DAY at noon Rutherford B. Hayes
reti-es from the Presidency, the powers
and duties Of which he has been exer-
cising and discharging for the last four
year,, although he was never elected to
the Office by the people. II one could
for a moment throw out of view the
base and infamous methods through
which Mr.. Hayes was elevated to his
high position, there would be a feeling
OF e. least some satisfaction in commend
ing certain OF his official acts and in ex-
pressing a kindly approval Of some of .he
features Of his administration. This,
however, is simply impossible in the
face Of the ever present and over-shad-
owing fact, that from the beginning to
the end of his term he was nothing more
than Presidential impostor. But be-
ing even so, justice demands the ac-
knOwledgment that his administration
Of the affairs Of the country has been
conspicuously exempt from the corrup-
tions and scandals Of the last four mem
orable years Of Grants disgraceful rule
The peculiar position which Mr., Hayes
occupies before the country at the close
OF his official career may be said to be
identical with that OF an old line Whig
Governor OF Kentucky who was unequal
to the occasion, as described by shrewd,
intelligent darkey Of that State when Re
said Of the outgoing executive 'De

Two years ago Andrew G.. Curtin ran
for Congress in the Centre district, and
was defeated by Seth H. Yocuu, the
Greenbrck-R Republican candidate. Cur
tin contested Yocum' right to the seat,
but being unsuccessful, Yocun held the
fort. Each Of them filed his bill OF
campaign expenses with the Committee
on Elections, the respective amounts of
which we cannot state, but in the sun
dry civil appropriation bill, which pass
ed both houses a few days ago, the large
sum of SS, 900 was allowed to each by
way of reimbursing him. Under this
state Of the case, where is the man who
wouldn't like to be defeated for Con-
gress, and then pocket IS, 600 as a SOL
ace to his wounded feelings, or, what is
still better, to hold his seat, as YOcum
did, at a salary of g. 600 year ana
have IS, 900 thrown in TO cover expenses =?
This is undoubtedIyag a great country, and
to run for Congress and be defeated is
becoming nearly as big a thing as to
run and be elected.

For the second time during the ses-
sion Of Congress Bow closing, Morgan
r. Wise, who represents the Westmore-
land district, was instrumental with 9TH
ers, on ThErsday night of last week, by
their absence from the House, in leaving
it without quorum for the transaction
of b4siness. Wise, together with the
other members who absented themselves,
was hunted up and captured by the Ser
geant-at-Arms ut the White House,
where he was dining with Hayes, and
brought before the bar of the House TO
state his excuse for being absent. hr.
Klotz. the Democratic msmber from the
Carbon district, listened to what Wise
said by way Of palliation, and knowing
that he was lying, asked him through
Speaker Randall whether when he (Wise)
was about to leave the House he did not
say that he was hungry and was going
to the White House to get his dimes,
and that he WISE didn't care conti-
about it. Wise, in reply, said that Hayes
had invited him to dine with him and
that he had done so, but repudiated the
language imputed to him by Klotz. Mr..
Manning, of Mississippi, however, on
being appealed to by Klotz, declared
that he was present and heard Wise use
the language charged by Klotz, thus
putting Wise in very ugly predicament.
The House, however, saw proper to ex-
cuse him instead Of imposing fine on
him. Morgan II. Wise must be very
important man at Washington when he
is invited to come at late hour of the
night in full dress to dine with r. B.
Hayes. But such is the life of great
man like Wise. He was a laughing
stock when he represented Greene coun-
ty in the Legislature, and he still holds
his own in Congress. And yet he repre-
sents the wealthy and intelligent district
composed of the counties Of Westmore-
land, Fayette and Greene.

THE English suffered most disas-
trous defeat on Sunday last at the hands
Of the Beers in South Africa, nearly all
Of the British troops engaged, amount
ing TO between seven hundred and
thousand men, having been slaughter
ed, and Gen. Sir George Colley killed.
Gen. CoIley was the cOmmander-in-chiet
Of the British fore es in their operations
against the Beers, whose Dutch ances-
tors eu-igTated to that part Of Africa
and established 4 prosperous settlement,
of which the English government is now,
without any cause except her own sweet
will, attempting to appropriate to her
own grasping use. Gen. COlley, who was
only forty-Gve years old, was one of the
most distinguished oficeTsia the British
army, and like so many other brave but
unfortunate men who have done some
Of England's best fighting during the
present century, was an Irishman, hav-
ing been born in the county Dublin.

DURING one OF his recent flying visits
to Paris, Mr.. Parnell had interviews
with Henri Rochefort and Victor Hugo,
both of whom are avowed revolutioniSts
Rochefort is also a rank communist and
was prominent among the bloodthirsty
scoundTels who inaIgurated reign Of
terror in Paris after the defeat Of Louis
Napoleon by the Prussians at Sedan.
This alliance, or association, Of Mr..
Parnell with French revolutionists has
caused a good deal of unfavorable com
ment in Ireland, but Mr.. Parnell insists
that he went TO France, as he had gone
to America, to enlist the aid and SYM
pathy OF the whole nation, and not any
perticulsr section of it. Archbishop
McCabe, OF Dublin, the Catholic Pri-
mate Of Iceland, regards any afiliation
with such Raen as Rochefort as an insult
and an indignity to Ireland in her pres
ent struggle, and in a pastoral address
issued on SuBday last, refers to the mat
ter in the following pointed language:
"we should p-sy with great fervor for our
country, over which the Almighty has per
mitted sore trials 10 fall. Her history is still
20 a great extent a record Of sOrTOws. But
calamity more terrible and humilistiug than

WE notice that 3 great many proprietary
medicine men are advertising in such man
Ber KS to lead the public and particularly
the retail druggists. to believe that the sale 81
their goods is SO great, that unless their or

THE effort made last week in the SEN
ate by few OF the moral, high-toned
Republican members Of that body, to
raise a committee for the purpose Of in
vestigating the constitutional right OF
Eckley B. Coke. OF Luzerne county, to
his seat, proved most miserable failure,
only fifteen Republicans voting for the
resolution of inquiry, and Mr.. Coke was
sworn in by Judge Pearson. The two
Republican Senators who took a con-
spiouous part in favor of the investiga-
tion were a. J. Herr, of the Dauphin
district, and a. Wilson Norris, Of the
SixthPhiladelphiadis both OF whom
are noble specimens Of '-sawdust'' re-
formers. Herr took Cameronism and
all that the name implies as naturally
as an Indian takes the small-pox-was
counsel for Kemble and bis corrupt lob
by agents in the Pittsburg riot cases,
and was specially prominent in urging
their release by the Pardon Board.
Norris is light weight statesman just
budding into usefulness as a reformer.
and would have voted for John Welsh
for United States Senator, a man who
deliberately headed a movement after
the Maine election last September to
raise an enormous fund for the express
and avOwed purpose Of cerrupting the
voters Of Indiana into the support OF
the Republican Stale ticket in October.
Herr and Norris are nice brace of
christian statesmen as they might
be called. to asSail the honor and repu-
tatiOn Of such a man as Eckley B, Coke,
the latchets of whose shoes they are un-
worthy 10 unloOse.

CURED BY FAITH.-A special correspond
ent Of the Philadelphia Times, writing from
Damascus, Pa, Feb. Goth, says: Miss Lille
Tyler, a relative of Mr.. William Tyler, the
postmaster at this place. has been an invalid
for upwards of six wears. Doctors have
termed her complaint heart disease. She
has been treated by some of the most noted
medical men in this country and has used all
kinds of medicines she could hear of with
no relief. About month ago Miss Tyler
heard of lady living in Connecticut who
cured long-standing diseases by prayer. A
letter was sent to this lady and an answer
received from the worker Of miracles appoint
ing the day and hour when Lille and her
friends should engage in prayer for her res
tOratiOn to health. The day came at last
and the invalid's friends gathered at her bed
side. This was about week ago Miss
Tyler was. at the time, too weak TO raise her
head from the pillow, and the company pres
ent included her uncle ard aunt, Mr.. and
Mrs. Nathan Tyler and her pastor, the Rev.
Thomas WescOtt. At the appointed time
the young lady and her assembled relatives
engaged in prayer. As remarkable as it NAV
seem, before the hour had elapsed the young
lady was sufficiently recovered TO sit up in
bed and has been rapidly improving ever
since. She is today in such an improved
condition that she is able to ride out, and her
relatives are convinced { hat her complete
cure will result. Considerable excitement
prevails In this immediate neighborhooG
over the strange cure.
