ten days before. with considerable liberation He had
got IA comrado to surround the whole forearm at
with a thick paste OF peat mould which laid a
rough spnt of wood. When he came TO the clinic he
was in good general health and clearing of the
mould the found the wound to be healing
fully, without any sign OF snppuration. DR. Neuherg
was led this experience To investigate the properties
of peat mould and his conclusion is that peculiarly
valuable for the purpose of dressing wounds, chiefly
because Of its great power OF absorbing the products of
decomposition

1t is very easy to say that the coming contest
may place both Pennsylvania and New FORK in
the list of doubtful States, OF that it may even
put New-York IN the Democratic column.
There would be no more truth in that chan
there would be in the assertion that Republican
success in 1880 in Connecticut and Indiana
placed those States in the Republican column,
or that recent Democratic success in Ohio
assured that State to the Democrats or maze it
even doubtful State in 1894. We do not
believe either proposition to be correct. Con-
pecticut was carried by the Republicans on the
tariff question, and Indiana was won by al I'M
paralleed effort; while it is now quite
apparent that the Republicans let Ohio 10 by
default. We are of those who believe that II

Analyze these figures, and twill he found that

There is another possibility IN the fig

gress, is more to be dreaded than the
present loss of the control of the State Gov
eminent. The success of a third party in any
one of the Republican or in any two OF the
doubtful States as above divided might throw
the election of President and Vice-President
into the House which is to be elected this fall.
That is contingency no true patriot OF either
party cares to contemplate, and cannot with
complacency or satisfaction. But tho bare
possibility that such result may follow should
inspire every Republican to come forward in
the present crisis and cast his vote for Rcpub-
lican Congressman even if he is bent on scratch
