A Cure for Sciatica.

4 correspondent, writing London Family Fair
says: "a cure for neuralgia aud seiatsca-and
as am told, unfailing one--is too valua-
BILE not to be recorded. An English officer,
who served with distinction in the with
Napoleon, was once laid up in small village
in France with a severe attack of sciaticia. 1t
happened that at that time tinman was be-
ing employed in the house where he lodged,
and this tinman having been himself a soldier,
took an interest in the officers ease, and gave
him the cure, which, in this instance, succeed
ed Immediately and forever, and which | am
about TO set down. Ii is at any rate simple
as to be worth a trial. Take a moderate sized
potato, rather large than small, and boil 1t in
quart of water. Foment the part affected,
with the water in which the potato has been
boiled, as hot as if can be borne, at night be-
fore going TO bed; then crush the potato and pat
it nn the affected part rs pOultce. Wear this
all night, and in the morning heat the water,
which should have been preserved, over again,
and again foment the part with it hot as it
can be borne. This treatment must be perse-
vered with for several days. 1t occasionally re-
quires to be continued for much two or
three weeks, but in the shorter or longer time it
has never yet failed to be successful.

AGAINST MOTHs.-Oil Of cedar applied to
chests and drawers will keep moths ont of
clothes, which have been kept twenty years
with no sign of moths abOHt them. Apply ear
" in the spring, and once or twice through the
warm season. The oil poured on paper and
rolled up 50 that the oil can hot strike through,
is the best way of applying 1t. Put it in the
bottom and at the sides, and if n deep chest in

does not grease the clothes, but may spot them
If not wrapped in a thickness or two of paper.
The tighter drawers and chests are kept shut,
the longer one application will continue effective.

Cumulative Evidence.

From all excellent article on
the liquor-traflic in the Journal
and Messenger, we extract this bit
of cumulative testimony:
ct is State evil. 1t smites the
State by laying its hand upon the
citizen, crippling his powers, rem
dering his labor unproductive, pau
perizing him, then handing him
over to the State as charge.
The liquor business breeds vice
and crime as certainly as carton
breeds maggots. 1t imposes taxes
upon the State by necessitating
the enlargement of it's courts, with
their increased expenses, the null
duplication of prisons, alms-houses
and insane asylums."

feats? The Reformation, the de-
struction of slavery and the over
throw of the rebellion, all prove
this. They all had their frst and
second Bull Runs. And so with
Prohibition. But they all tri-
umphed at last, and so must and
acil Prohibition triumph.
"For right is right since God is God,
And right the day must win;
To doubt would be disoyalty,
To falter would be sim"
And, mark the prediction; no
party can long triumph in this en-
lightened land of schools and
churches, and in this rapid adj
vance of general intelligence,
which, as distinct party princi-
pie and matter of distinct party
policy, champions the licensed rum
traffic. The thinking masses will,
sooner or later, rise in their might
and smite with the stroke Of ami
hilation, that traffic which steals
away, besots and converts into
paupers, maniacs and fiends, their
innocent boys, and burdens the
country with taxes, prisons and
crime"

CHARGES AGAINST DR.. DRYENFoRTH-AL-
LEGGED CROOKED WORK.
WASHINGTON, February 26.--The Senate
Committee on Patents to-day gave hearing
upon the charges OF corruption which had
been filed by patent practitioners who are
opposing the confirmation of DIR. Robert G.
DTyenforth, of Illinois, TO be assistant com-
missioner Of patents. DR.. Dfyenforth is now
che Of the judgcI on the Patent Board Of
Appeals, and was formerly primary ex-
smiuer of patents. The chsr~,es relate to
his administl -tion as examiner, and are
specific 10 character, alleging bribery
and tamI sring with the manuscript in
3 CA pending before him. The
committee has file of papers from the In
terror Department bearing upon the subject
OF the charges. The friends Of Dr.. Dryen-
forth allege that the opposition to his con-
hrmation springs from the influence of Com
missioner Marble, who desired TO have nom
mated a young man named Mason, now one
OF the primary examiners in his Office, but
was overruled by Secretary Teller and the
President. This action denying to the COM
missioner the right to name the princi.
pal member OF his perl )ual stsf in
his Office has been sharply commented
upon by persons representing Marbles inter-
est, and ii is claimed that the protest against
the confirm alton of Drye nforth is the method
by which this interest is seeking to keep out
of the position Of assistant commissioner q
man personally Objectionable TO the head oil
the Office. The committee has reached no
conclusion. A further hesring will be held
and Chairman Plat hopes to conclude the
matters before the 4th OF March.
