The Smyth and Bland Readiusfers
and the Public schools.

On the 30th OF August the Readjusters
OF Smyth and Bland counties met IN (Ou-
ventiOn at Marion 10 nominate candidate
for the House OF Delegates, and, among
other resolutions, adopted the following !:
ave reatlim our sympathy for the pub
lie free schools Of the state, and we con-
graduate the people OF Virginia upon the
increased success and prosperity OF The
schools since honest Readiuster govern
ment has prevailed"
Bland gave Cameron a majority OF 40
out of $50 votes, and Smyth gave HIM
majority Of AS ont OF 1881 votes, 30 that
the RCadlusie Outnumber the Democrats
IN the two counties about two 10 one; and
II there are any two counties in the State
in which the Readjusters have had an OPP
portunIty 10 prove their attachment TO the
public schools they are Smyth and Bland.
But let Us see how they have proved their
attachment TO them. The population OF
the two counties combined is little
more than one half greater than the
population o. Portsmouth. and the value
Of taxable property in them for pub
lic-schOOl purposes is little. more
than double that Of Portsmouth, and
yet we find that the strong Readluster
county OF Bland taxed itself only 1909. 10
last year TO keep up the public free schools,
and Smyth taxed itself only S3,475.O3 for
the same purpose, making a total OF only
S4,7Sf.ls, while the Democratic city OF
Portsmouth, with half their taxable value
and twO-tDirds their population. taxed it.
self S5,902.94, or - per cent. more than
the keadiuster counties which profess
such profound sympathy for the public
free schools.
Sympathy for and interest in the main
tenance OF the public schools is best evil
denced by going down into your pockets
and raising money 10 keep them going.
Furthermore. the schools In Bland were
kept open only 400 months, in Smytb 5.i5
months, aud In Portsmouth 10 months.
Now, who are the best friends OF the
public schools, Readiusters or Democrats
These statistics are taken from the Nir-

(By telegraph TO the DisIatch.l
ST. LOUIS, September 1l.-Mcagre infor-
nation, through police sources, was fur

avenue. made a murderouS assault upon
his brother-in-law about 1880 O'Clock,
firing several shots at him. All Of the

sing then fred two shots at his wife, both
OF which struck her, inllcting dangerous
wounds. The Infatuated man then escaped
from the house and eluded pursuit for an
hour, when he was found in the garrett OF
his house with his throat cut from ear to
ear. but not dead. He was taken to 4 dis
pcnsary, where he attempted to explain his
acts. but could not talk on account OF his
wndpipe being nearly severed. He was
then taken to the hospital, where his
wounded wife and brother-in-law had nj
ready been taken, and where they now lay
in very critical condition. No eXplana-
ton Of the affair has vet been obtained;
but ii is supposed to have originated In q
family quarrel and in a iii OF insane ieal-

Cracked earthenware should never be
used for domestic purposes. II Is 4 safe
rule in good housekeeping to break any
fractured stoneware to pieces and render
them quite untitled for any employment as
utensils. In paper read before the
Academy Of Sciences, Paris, NJ. K. Pey-
russon demonstrated very clearly how the
germs of cholera, typhoid-iever, and SINH
lar diseases may he preserved and commu-
nicated by even the slightest crack or fis-
sure which may be caused by very trilling
accidents TO crockery and faience.
A thirty-years' investigation OF the sub
iect has convinced NJ. V. Burg OF the etfi-
cacy OF copper as preventive and cura-
tive Of cholera. The metal absorbed into
the system, he says, acts as an almost per-
feet prophylactic, the exceptions not being
more numerous than in the case Of vacci-
nation in defending people from smallpox.
Among other precautions he recommends
the external application OF copper IN the
metallic form. the burning Of dichloride OF
copper In alcoholic lamps, wine mixed with
the natural mineral water OF st. Christian,
and the use OF vegetables rendered green
by sulphate 81 copper.

Tic Maidstone.
ALLEGED CURE IN INDIANA.
ITerrc Haufe Exnrooa

Friday afternoon Mr.. Padgett and wife.
accompanied by their niece, n child OF
eight years, arrived in the city from Wash
ington. Ind, and went TO the residence OF
Mrs. Taylor. No. $50 north Ninth street.
Their mission here was TO have Mrs. Tay-
Tor apply her maidstone 10 the child. which
was supposed 10 have been bitten by q
mad-dog. The child was the posses
sor OF small dog. a great pei.
About week ngo the dog went away, but
returned in few DAYS. The little girl was
very anxious about her pet, not knowing
where il was, and when she saw it ran to
play with it. The dog. always kind be-
lore, sprang at her and bit her in many
places, nearly tearing the clothing off her
BODY. Her screams brought assistance,
and the dog was beaten of. 1t was noticed
that 1t frothed at the mouth, and ran around
IN circle. II was concluded that the dog
was mad, and il was killed. A physician
was called and the wounds cauterzcd.
Some one mentioned the Terre lIautc
maidstone. and il was determined to
bring the little girl to this city.
The little ones hands and arms were al
most black from cauterizati0n. Mrs. Tay-
Tor scraped the flesh above one OF the
wounds till the blood flowed. The stone
was then put on and bandqged TO- the arm.
In an hour the bandages were removed, but
the stone was still, adhering. The baudages
were again put on. The stone was applied
little after o O'Clock on Friday morning,
and adhered till 10 O'Clock i'm the evening.
The virus drawn from the arm soaked
through two thicknesses OF cloth. After
the stone dropped of il was placed i'm warm
tx-af ff.C.,ttf<f.t.- .1..f,.1
OF the basin being covered with virus.
After it was cleaned it was applied again,
bat would not adhere. The child was pro-
nounced cured, and was taken home yes
tcrday morning.
Madstones are very rare, and very few
ere known TO exist. There is a maidstone
in Dcs MOines, Iowa; Keokuk, the same
state; ono in Louisville and one in Tay-
loryille, III. Many people doubt their eX-
iStcncc. The writer has heard many peO-
pie who considered themselves well IN
formed deny that there was such a stone.
But almost every one in Tcrre Hautc
knows that there is one in Tcrre Haute.
and have heard Of the many wonderful
cures it performed. Where the mad
stones come from no one seems to
know. Their DOSseSSors are not able
~ zen. All olu IHutiu ChI'i salu tIdt
madstOnes were found in the StomachS
of extremely old buck deerS. The one in
the possession Of Mrs Taylor has been in
her family for eighty years or more. It
was brought from Virginia to Kentucky
in the early days, and from Kentucky to
this city. Mrs. Taylor knows nothing Of
its ori9in. This stone is not very large, is
square, measuring about three eighths OF
an inch on each side II is porous. and
when applied TO the wound the virus
passes through it into the bandageS. 1t
has never been known to fail when applied
before the person was attacked by hydro
phobia II will sometimes cure after the
patient has had slight commissions, but it
will not always DO so.

10 the Editor Of the Dispatch:
The people Of this vicinity had the plea

Every one present was highly enthused by

planned the platform Of the Democracy IN
q manner that was easily understood by all.
You can rest assured that the voters OF
Swift Creek are solid for Democracy.
Those who last November cast their votes
for the Republican party regret now their
action in so doing. They cannot stand
the little underground "metamorphoser"
any longer. for in following him they have
often found themselves lost. lie holds the
bait in front of them, but when they adj
