An angry controversy is threatnsd
over the question whether the great
bridge connecting New York and
Brooklyn shall be free. The Brook
lynites very naturally desire the bridge
to be free for the reason that their
property would be greatly enhanced in
value by affording residence room for
over-crOwded New York. On the other
hand. the New York journals for the
most part are in favor of imposing tolls,
on the assumption that otherwise the
bridge would insure almost exclusively
to the City Of Churches. Mayor
Edison and Comptroller, Campbell of
New York, contend that under the
act of the Legislature authorizing the
structure it cannot be made free, even
to foot passengers.

The saloons at Des Moines, Iowa are
still closed, with no present prospect
of opening The keepers have asked
the Council to grant the privilege to
sell whisky, in which case thew would
take out license. This would be in
violation of the State law and was not
considered by the Council. The
saloons have entered into a compact
not to take out licenses, hoping to
frighten the Council by the loss of
revenue. but the Mayor and Council
are firm. The probabilities are that a
limited number of the saloons will pay
the $1,000 license and open up.
A dispatch from Des Moines, Iowa.
dated May s, says that ffty-four
saloons have taken out license at $1,000
per year, or eleven more than when
the license was but $500.

The Elroy Tribune talks thus sensi-
bly, about buying goods away from
home: 1--WE see in many of our ex-
changes notices like this Send to
James Morgan, Milwaukee, for samples
etc People are advised to send here,
to send there, and to send everywhere
for samples and prices. Now, we
would as soon see you send to James
Morgan as any man away from home !;
but why send away? Go to any store
in Elroy, where dry goods are sold,
and see if you can't do just as well in
price and quality of goods and save
postage and express. We don't want
people to send away for printing, and
you don't want them to send away for
anything in your line; then why for
dry goods? The emily way to build
up thriving town is to patronize
home merchants, home mechanics and
home industries. /"

How to Cure Scarlet Fever.

A certain Medical Journal tells In
such novel way, how child was
cured of scarlet fever, by a certain DR..
Smartwesd, that We cannot do better
than quote it for the benefit of our
readers. Upon first seeing the
patient, he ordered some prickly ash
to be stepped and gave it in shape of a
tea every two hours, because as he
reasoned prickly ash bark is all covered
with pimplss and rash like surface
and one with scarlet fever should also
have rash upon the surface, therefore
he was bound to give prickly ash tea
freely. The patients eountenanee
locked somewhat yellow before the
rash appeared. Safaron tea is also
yellou-he therefore gave safaron tea
to the patient freely. He thought the
patient was suffering somewhat from
the effects of "a cold in connection with
the fever and to cure it he directed
some hore hound and NORWOOD to be
boiled down to tea and drank freely
till the patient went to sleep, The
next day he gave five pills-put one
kind of plaster on his breast, another
under his ARMAND an onion poultice
on his back. Under advice of an
experienced old lady he took all of
these off with an oyster knife in the
afternoon and slapped on a mustard
plaster instead. Then he put some
hot brick to the patients feet while in
bed and let him rest. Next morning
another old lady came in with bottle
of goose oil and skunks oil combined
and urged the DIR. to give it freely on
a quill-in order to help the threat,
and q good old aunt arrived about the
same time, with bundle of sweet fern
and catnip which she made into a tea
and the DR.. directed it to be taken
every half hour until noon, when
dose Of salts was ordered. After
dinner the patients mother had seen a
fine old lady with great experience in
doctoring on high street, who gave
her two pill Is Of the Dr's. own make
about the size of walnut and of
similar shape and two tea spoon fulls
of home made balsam or elixiryita to
keep them down, then he gave a half
pint of hot RUM at the suggestion of
an old river pilot who was visiting in
next house and steamed his leg. with
an alcohol bath. At this crisis two of
his neighbOrs arrived who saw at once
that patients bleod was out of order
and so the DR.. gave him half gallon
ct spearment tea and dose of caster
oil before going to bed. The DIR. also
gave eight of his new kind of "Smar-
weeds pills. and wrapped about his
neck flannel soaked in hot vinegar
and salt and kerosene oil, and had
feathers burned on a shovel in the
patients room. The patient is still
alive and his r~---ts aud rIIruus are
full of gratitude that he stood it
through Sc well, and the DIR. congrat-
ulates himself that be never lost case
of scarlet fever and upon being so
immense in the treatment of scarlet
fever. The parents can rejoice for
Joy now, and crushed onions are order
ed to make the tears flow"
