A SMALLPOX REMEDY.-A cores
pondent of the Stockton (Cal.) Herald
sent the following some years ago to
that paper II herewith append recipe
which has been used to my knowledge
in hundreds OF cases. It will prevent
or cure the smallpox though the pit
tings are filing. When Jenner discov-
cred COW. pox in England the world Of
science hurled an avalanche of fame
upon his head, but when the most sci
entific school of medicine in the world
that of Paris-published this recipe as
a panacea for small. pox, it passed un.
needed. 1t is as unfailing as fate, and
conquers in every instance. 1t is harm.
less when taken by well person. 1t
will also cure scarlet fever. Here is the
recipe as I have used it, and cured my
children of scarlet fever /; here 1t is as
have used it to cure the smallpox {;
when learned physlcians said the pa.
tient must die, it cured: Sulphate OF
zinc, one grain; foxglove, (digitalis,) }
one grain half . teaspo0nful Of sugar
mix with two tablespoonfuls of water.
When thoroughly mixed, add four
ounces of water. Take spoonful ev~
cry hour. Either disease will disappear
| in twelve hours. For . child, smaller
doses, according to age. II counties
would compel their physicians to use
this, there would be no need Of pesthous-
ca. If you value advice and experience,
use this for that terrible disease"

For the SPECTAroR.
JOhannah Granger.

Mr.. Editor It is within the memory
perhaps of the oldest citizen Of the
South River, when Cumberland VIII
liams bought In the city of Baltimore
three most excellent German emigrants
for the cost of their passage from Bre.
men to the United States. The most
prominent of these WAS the late Chris
tian Staubus. The subject Of this sketch
was the wife of Frederick Granger,
who survives her. She died on the
18th day Of December, 1881, In the
8Oth year Of her age, and was laid away
in st. Paul's church-yard (Staubus
church). She was born on the 8th OF
October, 1902, in Metzengen, Wurtem-
burg, Germany, was married in her
2Sth year to Frederick Granger of tho
same kingdom, and after burying three
children In the father.land, sailed for
the United States in 1S46, and after q
stormy passage of 100 days and many
bardships landed in New York, where
they lived four years. Through the in-
fluence of the talented and much-la-
mented German clergyman of the Meth
odist Episcopal church. the late Rev.
John G. Lyon, they found home with
the writer on his farm near Stribhng
Springs. Afterwards they lived with
in the same neighborhood, and Gerard
B. Stuart and J. Baker on South River.
During the war, one of their sons passed
through the lines, much to their sorrow.
and enlisted in the Northern army the
other was good soldier, and was badly
wounded in the Confederate service.
During all this time, the old people,
unable to speak English, had an anx.
ious and trying time. She connected
herself at IA years of age with the Lt1-
theran church, and for 66 years was an
humble, consistent Christian, an affec-
tionate wife and mother, and kind
neighbor and friend. For six years an
invalid from paralysis, she bore her suf-
ferings without q murmur. Her hus-
band, now 50, awaits the summons to
Join her. Three children, one In New
York who had not seen her for 80 years,
survive her. A FRIEND.

GARFIELD AND MAHONEIsM.-The
Washington Post publishes an article
on what it calls Gen. Garfield's views
as to the Malone movement in Virgin
ia. The statements made therein, ac-
eording to the Post, come from "a near
friend of the late President, and one
who, of all others, knew his mind and
Intentions" This is supposed to be
Blaine. The revelations are to this ef-
feet: "If Gen. Garfield had lived he
would never have aided Malone in any
way. He was SO utterly opposed to any
thing savOring of revolution that he
would rather have seen the Bourbon g
triumph for a time than have had the
republicans win such victory by Goa
lition with the dishonest money element
of the democratic party. Gen. Garfield
did not believe that the republican par
ty could gain permanent control In the
South upon such basis as was adopted
In Virginia In the last fight, where the
real issue at the bottom was q selfish
one, and where the victory gained fol
Malone the accomplishment Of selfish
ends. He believed in extending help
ing hand to every honest element of in
dependence in the South, but when II
came to striking hands with dishonesty
to wage war against honesty In order te
gain q merely temporary advantage
Gen. Garfield would have turned hi
back and absolutely refused to pro
ceed."
