Remedies for Sea-SiCkness IFrom the British Medical Journal.

i Many people, as soon as sea-siskness com- mences, have recourse to oranges, lemons, etc. Now, oranges are very much to be avoided cn account of their bilious tendency, and even the juice of 8 lemon should only be allowed in cases of extreme nausea Champagne, too, is very common reme dy, and, without doubt, in many cases does good; but this appears to be chiefly due to it's exhilarating effects, as, if it be discontin- ued, the result is bad, and 8 great amount of prostration fellows.
 Creosote is a very old but still very good remedy, and, in cases accompanied by great prostration, is very useful but, if given in the early stage of sea sickness, it is often followed by very bad results and even in creases the nausea.
 Bicarbonate of soda is used in slight cases as it relieves nausea and checks the frequent eructations which often follow attacks of sea. sickness but in severe cases it is absolutely useless, and, in fact, it very often prolongs the retching.
 A very good remedy in the earlier stages of sea sickness is a teaspoonful of Worcester sauce. How this acts cannot say but it, without doubt, relieves the symptoms and renders the patient easier. Its action is probably of stimulant nature.
 Hydrocyanic acid is of very little service, and most acid mixtures are to be avoided except that, perhaps, for drinking purposes when it is best to acidulate the water with a 6luat1 OI uyufOclIOrIC aclQ.
 Of all the drugs used, found the most eff fectual was bromide of sodium. When bro. mide Of sodium is given in doses of ten grains three times day, the attacks entirely subside, the appetite improves, and the pa tient is able to walk about with comfort
 In all cases of sea sickness it is very desir- able that the patient should take sufficient food, so that at all times the patient may be comfortably full for by this means over straining during fits of retching is prevented and the amount of nausea is diminished. The practice of taking small pieces of dry biscuit is not of much use, as, although the biscuit is retained by the stomach, yet the amount taken is never sufficient to comforta- ply fill the stomach. Soups, milk-puddiDgs and sweets are to be avoided, as they in crease the desire to be sick and are followed by sickening eructations. Fat bacon is easi- ly borne and does much good if only the pa- tient can conquer his aversion to it. When taken in moderate quantity 1t acts like g charm and is followed by very good results.
 But of all food, curry is the most useful in sea sickness, and is retained by the stom- ach when all other food has been rejected. Next to curry, would place small sandwich es of cold beef, as they look nice on the plate, and are usually retained by the stom ach.
 In conclusion, would advise that brandy should be used very sparingly, as, in many cases it induces sea-sickness and it's chief use is confined to those cases where the pros- tration is very great, and even then cham pagne is more effectual.

I The rate of taxation in the great city o X Boston this year is only $14 50 on $1,OOo l In New Haven it is $2o The highest rat, I ever known in Boston was $15 80. Tn. Boston Herald says: 'sThe valuation of ouI I city, which has appreciated by about $1O, COG, 900 over the estimate of last year. ii ] still greatly below what it was seven, e1gh, and nine yesrs ago. This change is chie11y found in ths depreciated estimate put upon real estate which is this year valued at fully 15 per can't less than it was in 1876. We
 are far from saying that the present estimate
 IS an uEHduly small one. for we are disposed to
 believe that in the year referred to valuations
 were grossly inAated for the purpose of keep
 ing down the nominal rate of taxation, and
 thas preventing the storm of popular indig-
 nation which would have arisen if the tax
 rate had been increased to $17 or SIS per
 $1, 1,ooo:" Judging from this the people of
 Boston would not be as patient under a s2o

 Of the four candidates examined for place
 in the Philadelphia postefice a day or two

 was brought in separately and subjected to rigid examination as to habits, former occu- pations, and reasons for having loft previous employment. The questions were asked in 8 pointed manner and nothing would do in an swer but the most direct, full and explicit statements. Finally the postmaster an- nounced his decision in favor of Pliny Locke. colored man, who was born in Philadelphia some thirty-three years ago. For the last few years he has been engaged as A school teacher. Previous to that he had been grad uated from the Institute for Colored Youth in Philadelphia; has had one years expsri- ence in the Freedmen's Bureau, nearly four in the Treasury department and a few months in the Freedmen's Savings and Trust company

A vine grower in Green Val Icy has vineyard comprising only twenty one acres, but these yielded enough to enable him to ship one hundred tons sf grapes to . wine cellar in Napa City and 5000 boxes of 35 pounds each to San Francisse, and still keep on hand ten tons for hisovn use. The grapes thus shipped by him ;soad fOF@3O per ton in Napa City and at i've cents per pound in San Francisco, -eiving him $5,1oo., The entire cost for growing and selling she fruit was $s3o, leaving him . net proAt of over $4 900, or more than $500 aa acre

A Road Through Kendall County.

From the BOerne Land Register.
The present outlook for railroad through
Kendall county is very fatering. The char
ter of the Texas and St. Louis Narrow Gauge
railroad calls for Kendall county. Its con-
nection with St. Louis has been completed, is
in running order as far as Lampasas county
and graded to Burnett. Bandera and Eagle
Pass are the next two places on the proposed
line penetrating into Mexico. San Antonio
is making an effort to secure this road and no
doubt it will be successful. Also knowing
the topography of the country between Bur-
net and Bandera, we feel confident that this
road will not be built as originally projected,
via Bandera, but be built through San An
