LOCAL. MATTERS.
TO SUBSCRIBERS.

This week we commence mailing
to our subscribers statement of
account, and will continue to send
them from day to day, until we have
gone through our whole list of sub
scribers. We hope that those who
receive bills will respond promptly,
for we need the money. We have
tried all other plans to collect our
money and have failed, and hope
now to be more successful. Promises
a:e very good thing in their place,
but they won't pay workmen, paper
men and type founders. 1t takes
cash to do this. Therefore We can
not carry Subscribers unless they are
more prompt in paying. Those who
do not pay up by the endof tho year,
will be dropped from the list, and
their accounts placed for collection.
We are determined TO have prompt
paying subscribers if we have to cut
our list down more than one-half.

 DPHTHFRIA.-Dr c. R. s. Curtis, of Quincy, H., reports in the Boston Med tcat and Surgical JOtynGt the results of the local use of decoction of leaves of black walnut in diphtheria. The reme- dy was chiefly employed as & gargle or applied with a swab to the throat and fauces. A poultice of the leaves was also resorted to in some instances. Dr. Curtis adopted the same remedy in con- sequence of the recommendation by Prof. Nelaton in malignant pu-tule. The use of the Gargle was unattended by discomfort, no patient objecting to 1t. Improvement in each instance was rapid, the ash-coicred spots disappearing.
 LIME WATER AND MnK.-Experience proves that lime water and milk are not only food and medicine at an early peri cd of life, but also at later, when the functions of digestion and assimilation arc feeble and easily perverted. A stom- ach taxed by gluttony, irritated by lm- proper food, inhamed by alcohol, enfee- bled by disease, or otherwise unitted for its duties-as is shown by the vari- ous sy mptoms attending upon lndiges. tion, dyspepsia, diarrhea, dysentery and fever-will resume its work, and do 1t energetically, on an exclusive diet of bread and milk and lime water. Abowl of cows milk may have four tablespoon fuls of lime water to 1t with good effect.
 COLD DRINKS. It Is true, remarks Dr. J. u. Hanaford, that certain per sons, or persons in certain conditions, cannot take very cold drinks at ur near the meal time without impairing diges- ton, since the stomach must be kept at about 95 deg. Fah that digestion may be reasonably successful Even slight depression in the temperature of the stomach is sufficient to arrest the diges- tive process, temporarily, at least, and, of course, derange the stomach. This class-small, 1t Is true-would be inju- dicious in the use of any cold drinks or very cold food, though it is by no means needful to use tea or coffee on this &C., count, since hot water. properly pre- pared, may take their places. The use of ice water. especially in the hot sea- son, when the system is so debilitated as not to be able to rally after unusual chill, necessarily following a copious drink of ice-water, must prove unfavor- able. It not only expels the natural heat of the stomach, but lessens the natural flow of the gastric juice-if it does not totally suspend it-on the sup ply of which good digestion must de- pend, in great measure. Indeed, the Influence of the use of very cold drinks Is to produce Aabbiness about the stom- ach, indigestion, 8 sensation of heavi- ness, tasting of the food long after 1t is taken. It ordinarily leads to the use Of stimulants to aid in diA Aestion, en- couraging intemperanee. In short, the stomach IS debilItated Oy such a course producing more or less dyspepsia.

Bill Yves Advice to Young Men.

Young man, what are you living for r? Have you an object dear to you as life, and without the attainment of which you feel that your life will have been wide, shoreless waste of shadow, peo- pied by the specters of dead ambitions You can take your choice m the great battle of life, whether you will bristle up and win a deathiess name and owe almost everybody, or be satisfied with scabs and mediocrity. Many of those who nov stand at the head of the nation as statesmen and logicians were cn e unknown, unhonored and unsung. Now they saw the air in the halls of Congress, and their names are plsstered on the temple of fame.
 You can win some laurels too, if you will brace up and secure them when they Carrie d and Dr. Tanner and George Eliot were all, at one time, poor boys. They had to start at the foot of the lad der and toll upward. They struggled against poverty ad public opinion bravely on till they won a hume in the annals of history, and secured to their loved ones palatial homes, with light ning rods and mortgages on them. So may you, if you will make the effort. Ali these things are within your reach. Live temperately on $9 per month. That's the way we got our start. Burn the midnight oil if necessary. Get some true, undetermined young lady of youl acquaintance to assist you. TeA her f your troubles and she will tell you what to do. She will gladly advise you.
 Then you can marry her. and she will advise you some more. After that she will lay aside her work any time to ad wise you. Ycu needn't be out of advice

The Albanians have always been a fierce and warlike race, and their Turk lsh conquerors were never able to bring them into complete subjection. About half the population of their country are Mohammedans, the rest being divided between the Greek and Latin churches. The conversion of those who profess the religion of the Arabian prophet has been very imperfect, and chiefly in- duced by political motives. Out of the same family, some will go to the mosque and others to the church and, with the Turks, in6del and Albanian are terms nearly syn ,nymous.
 The native Albanian is of middle stat ure; his face IS oval, with high check bones his neck is long, and his chest full and broad. His air is erect and majestic to degree that never fails to strike the traveller. He goes constantly armed, and there are few Albanians who have not, in the prime of their life, be- longed to some of the numerous bands of robbers who infest the mountains of their native country, of Thessaly and of Macedonia. This occupation carries with 1t no disgrace among the inhabl t.
 
 to mention circumstances which occurrt when he twas a robber." When the business becomes dull, the Albanian robber generally takes to military life, and it matters little to him under what flag he enlists. In the Crimean wal many Albanian chiefs fought in the Rus sian army against the allied forces oi England, France and Turkey.
 Unlike the Turk, the Albanian is gay, lively and active, fond of amusement, delighting in all kinds of entertainments As race, the men display greater de. gree of contempt for women than Ii usual even among the most barbarou. nations. They regard them rs inferior animals. and treat them accordingly But in the country dispicts of Albsnii, the women are not confined or yelled, 6, is customary in strictly Mohammedat countries.

The conglomerate maesof material has to be sorted by the wholesale dealer be- fore he can ship 1t 10 his customers. Upon the second floor of the establish mtnt were to be seen long rows of bins, each of which was kept for the slowing away of one particular kind of woolen goods. One was devoted to dark blue. another to red hannels, another to plaid lii.seys, and others to blue cloth, light cloths (gray and checked) mixed colors. standing side by side, were filed respect ively with white, gray and blue stock iugs-th ee ghastly and redolent collec- ,ions of discarded woolen footg, ar, which it was anything but appetizing to gaze upon. Piled on top of the bin was a bundle of hundreds of "army- blues military overcoats which had done their country good service, and finally pulled up in the rag house.
 "What do the cloth manufacturers do with the rags you sell them? ?"
 "They enter into the manufacture of new goods"
 "Shoddy?"
 "Yes, shoddy. Would you like to see some?"
 The reporter assented, and the rag merchant produced half dozen bundles of what seemed to be very fine quality of wool. Comment upon its excellent appearance evoked the statement
 can sell rags from which such shoddy as this made at 20 cents pound, and that at a time when wool is selling at 15 cents pound. This shoddy, which s. ( finest quality-all the better for having undergone the process of dyeing, etc. goes into the manufacture of all the best cloths now. A $l00 overcoat contains hoddy; so does the nobbiest suit of clothes that IS turned out by the most fashionable tailor in the city,"
 "Then tn heaviest swells wear par tially secondhand clothing without moving it?"
 ''Yes fair share of their clothes hsA gone once or twice through the hands Gi the peddler, the iunk-dealer and the rag merchant"
 "And when the clothes are worn out they start on the same round over again, I suppose? ?"
 Why not? The wool is good. The prejudice against shoddy is unreason. able /; altogether unreasonable"
 Chicago draws her supplies of rag from very wide range of country. The adjacent States-Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado, and even Utah have sent consignments on, and the range of supply is constantly widening so that there is no doubt that, eventual ly, situated in the center of the largest and most densely populated country il the world, Chicago is destined in tn, end to become the great rag-purchasine center of the universe.

 The Manifold Uses They Serve.

The Manifold Uses They Serve.
 tFrom the Chicago Tribune.l
 "There are 50,000,000 of people in the United States" said wholesale rag dealer to a reporter who had called upon him to obtain some information regard ing the business, "and 1t is safe to pre- sume that every one of them discards, on an average, five pounds of clothing every year. That gives us 1000, 900 pounds of rags to start with, Then there are the t. t.iloring establishments, big and little, whose cuttings are not much less in quantity in the aggregate than the cast-off clothes of the nation at large, while their quality, as rags, is greatly superior. Then there are car pets and bedding and curtains, and other domestic articles of cloth of some kind which make up a goodly bulk in the course of year. These different articles combined make up another 250,- 900, ,000 pounds Of cloth material which has been discarded from use and which eventually finds its way into the rag mans bale"
 While the. rag merchant was talking he led the reporter into the cellar of his four-story warehouse, and showed him that the place Was entirely tiled with bales of goods, ready to be shipped to woolen and paper factories of the East. He said that no one in Chicago outside of the business had any idee of its pro- portions and importance. The fact wasf that, outside of the staple products O the West, the rag trade provided the railroads with more work than any other branch nf march ou1iSa
 The first Hoor of the building was found to be occupied by ''paper stock, -the rags, etc., from which paper Is manufactured-and the second with woolen rags. Upon this floor is carried on the work of S, plrating tue various cloths, according to color and quality work which requires considerable skill and experience on the pat of the opera tors. But. before this branch of the business is more fully alluded to, an idea had better be given Of the contents of one of the bales of mixed goods as they are received at the Chicago establish ment. To attempt to describe the vari- ous articles to be found in one of the bales would be impossible. All articles of domestic use which are made from veg, table or animal fabrics are there, together with old hats, boots, paper, rubber shoes, and so on. A recent ex- animation of a 700 pound bale, how ever, showed the composition of its con- tents to be as folloWs
