Sulphur is an excellent alternative and
antiseptic medicine for animals. but re-
quires caution in its use. Its effects are
diaphoretic-that is, to increase the sensi-
ble perspiration. This renders the skin
exceedingly sensitive to cold and wet,
and exposure to these suddenly checks
the perspiration. which may cause serious
mischief When sulphur is given it is
therefore necessary to keep the animal
dry and warm, or, at least, to avoid a sud-
den change of temperature. This medi-
cine should be given in moderate doses,
such As one drachm for a calf. sheep or
hog. and one ounce for COW or horse
daily or every two days for several days
The insensible perspiration carries of
much unhealthful matter through the skin.

The blood is the foundation Of
life, il circulates through every pan
of the body. and unless ii is pure
and nch, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
ii out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known. and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
BRowN's IRON BIrTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing ii, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and il will
nof blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi.

GUITEAU.
His Last Moments I'm the Cell and ON
the ScaffOld.

A special to the Cincinnati CONNER.
cial gives lengthy account of Guteau',
last moments as related by DR.. Hicks
his spiritual adviser. We clip the fol-
lowing:
"nid Guiteau say anything on the wa y

eyes, he spoke twice. Once when he
got to the steps leading down into the
corridor, where the scaffold was. He
said, in matter-of-fact tone, tell Crock.
er to move faster.' Ispoke to Crockel
and Croker did increase the rate ot
speed. He again spoke when going W
to the scaffold. He stumbled on the
first step. | seized him, partly to keer
him from falling, and he turned to me
smiled, and said to me, just as am say.
ing to you, my foot caught on the step.
On the scafold he was as collected and
as dignifed as any man could have been
He was perfectly cool, self-possessed and
deliberate. He read the Scriptures; he
delivered his poem just as he desired to
read it.
He wanted originally to wear white
robes. He thought that as Gods man
about to leave the world he ought to be
clothed in white robes. Failing in this,
he expressed the wish to go to the scat
fold in his white shirt and drawers.
From this notion he was finally persuad-
ed, but he would not wear his coat, and
insisted upon having white handker-
chief around his neck, and as far as pos
sible to have his clothes resemble white
robes. In the morning when Gen. Crock
er was in the Jail he said he wanted the
execution to occur as soon after 12
o'clock as possible, that the whistle at
the workhouse should be blown few
minutes before the time for the process
sion to start for the gallows, so that ev~
cry one would be ready. Guiteau said !:
II would like to give the signal myself
for the execution He told Gen. Crock
er and me that he would have sheet of
paper in his hand. and when he was
ready he would drop it; then Crocker
should give his signal for the drop door
to fall and he would drop down through
it. This programme was carried out TO
the letter, save when the time came he
could not find the paper, as his hands
were pinioned behind him. The blank
sheet of fooscap I had folded for him for
this purpose was found in his vest pock>
ct afterwards. Guiteau, finding that his
paper was gone, and he could not find it
exclaimed: DIR. Hicks, what shall l do,
l have lost my paperH l said take
this and handed him the manuscript Of
his prayer. He dropped it, and at the
same time exclaimed: Ready, glory
and as he did so Crocker dropped his
handkerchief, and Guiteau shot down
through the opening below.

The Mississippi Republicans.

A Washington telegram of the 22d
inst, to the Philadelphia Press, discours-
eth as follows regarding Mississippi Re-
publicans:
The Republicans of Mississippi des-
pite their defeat of last fall, are looking
forward with a good deal of confidence
to success in the coming campaign.
Their hope lies in an alliance with the
Independent Democrats and afiiliation
with other partias, notably the Prohibi-
tionists and Greenbackers, which, if sue
cessful, will insure q victory for a ticket
so constituted. There are nothing but
Congressman to be elected in the State
this fall, and Senator Bruce, in speaking
Of the condition of affairs to-day, said that
the Republicans had fair prospects of
carrying four OF the seven districts, and
were reasonably sure of two in any event.
He says that Lynch, who was recently
seated, has the confidence not only Of
the colored people but OF large share of
the better class of white people, and that
his denomination and election are GER
tain. The efforts of the Republicans are
now being put forth to secure declars-
ton from the House of Representatives
vacating the seat of Van II. Manning,
who represents the Second District, and
whose seat has been contested by Bu-
chanan, the Republican candidate.
Should this be done, an election for two
candidates for congress will be held this
fall in this district, at which Buchanan
will be a candidate for a seat in the pres
ent congress, and Chalmers the candi-
date for the Forty-eighth congress. Chal-
mers, after his election to congress,
changed his residence from the Sixth
District to the Second, which was once
his home, and has recently announced
his intention of running as an Indepen-
dent candidate. Assurances have been
received from Mr.. Chalmers that if elect
ed he will support the Republican party
in the organization of the next House of
Representatives.

Young colared man has been attached to
the ,lIege Tor number of years. and
is very nluch respected. He is an ex>
celent ball player, and the distinguished
Virginians did not raise objection on ac-
count of his standing as player but on
account OF his color. The KendaIs offer d
to pay the entire expenses of the highs
toned Virginians If they would play the
game, but they could not think OF touch
ing bali or bat that had been handled
by a "nigger." They offered to play un.
iii that man came to the bat and then
call the game and decide it in their favor.
The Kendalls very properly stood by
their mar, and so no game was played.
This is the first time objection has ever
been raised on the grounds of the Ken>
dall's.-National Republican.

woman,s smell and Taste.

The marked superiority of women over
men is on few points more remarkable
than in their superior powers of SMELL
ing and tasting. A woman will detect
the faintest odor of tobacco, when man
even non-smoker, often fails to discov-
er any symptoms OF it, AS with smell, SO
with taste. Women are marvelously
acute and fastidious in the matter OF
sauces and all havoring ingredients. This
faculty has been recognized in a most
pleasing manner by the composition of
the jury who had to decide in Paris on
the merits of the mustards OF various ma
tions. The mustard congress consisted
Of twelve gentlemen and an equal num-
Der of ladies. This arrangement, it is
stated, was owing to suggestion that the
palates of men vitiated by smoking,
whereas, women, who do not, as rule,
indulge in that pernicious habit were
likely to be better qualified to form cor
rect opinion on the merits Of the condi-
ments.
