The Blaine Slanders.

WHAT MIR. CURTIS THOUGHT OF THEM SIX
YEARS AGO, WHEN THEY WERE FRESH.
The Chicago Tribune reprints entire the edi-
toria from Harper's Weekly, May 13, 1876, on
the eve of the Cincinnati Convention of 1876,
reviewing the charges against Mr.. Blaine,
which George William Curtis, the editor of
Harper's, now makes his excuse for opposing
the Republican ticket. The charges were then
fresh, and the Weekly reviews them at great
length, telling in the following language how
they came to be published:
''The story Tagainst Mr.. Blainel has been
privately whispered, and there has been
conference of Republican editors at Cincinnati,
which ended by acquainting him with the ru-
NOR. Suddenly it was made public in Demo-
cratic paper at Indianapolis and in other jour
nails in other parts of the country Then, of
course, it was echoed and re-echoed through
the whole press. Mr.. Blaine instantly publish
ed an absolute and complete denial and, hav-
ing collected evidence that is apparently con-
elusive he made brief. clear, simple state
ment in the House, which was as thorough a
refutaton as was ever made, and, in the alb
sence of other evidence, leaves him unspotted.''
The Weekly next refers to the Little Rock
and Fort Smith charges, gives them in their
regular order, and then Mr. Blaine's answer,
and says 'the statement of Mr.. Blaine is sup
ported by unquestionable testimony and his
answer is full and satisfactory. He did not
wait for an investigation, but presented all the
facts in advance, and then invited congression-
al inquiry Summing up all the charges, Har-
pers Weekly then disposed of the entire ques-
ton in this frank and unmistakable language.
"If nobody now appears to justify this accu-
sation it must be considered merely one of the
reckless ISLANDERS to which every prominent
public man is exposed; and no charge that
may be hereafter made against Mr.. Blaine un-
accompanied by weighty testimony, will de-
serve any attention whatever"
,Nft ala a.. kl,uf
Harper's Weekly now offers as tine reason for
its refusal to support Mr.. Blaine.

Kerosene to Kill Insects. An Emulsion

Since the illuminating oil obtained
from petroleum, known in this country
as kerosene, and in England as palatfine
oil, came into general use, it has been
employed with variable success as an in
secticide. That it would destroy sect
life was long ago established that it
would also destroy plant life was some
times demonstrated i'll a manner more
convincing than pleasant. The oil in its
concentrated form, can be tolerated bv
but few plants The first improvement
| in its use was to add a very small GUAM
| tity to a bucket OF water, enough to make
| but a mere film upon the surface; then
| ditfuse it through the water by violent
stirring, and apply before the oil and
water had time to separate. This ans
wered fairly well, but was troublesome.
The next step was to divide the kero
sene, not by dissolying it. but by dif1'us-
| ing it in the form of an emulsion 1t is
well known that oils may be suspended
in water by means of gum, sugar, etc,
| and may be kept thus for some hours OF
| even days 1t has been discovered that
milk, either fresh or soured, is a cOnven-
lent medium to unite kerosene and
water Mix together kerosene and hall
as much milk, stirring them thoroughly
to form a cream-like mixture. When the
two are so completely united that no oil
is visible, dilute the mixture with twelve
times it's bulk of water, adding the water
gradually, and stirring thoroughly. This
| emulsion has been found especially use
ful in the treatment of the various scale
insects, so difficult to destroy by ordinary
insecticides, and is used for various other
insect pests. For trees use a syringe OF
force pump, and for house plants, often
| injured 10y scale insects, apply with a
sponge or swab. (American Agricultur-

THE FOAMY BEVERAGE MORE HARMFUL EVEN
THAN ALCOHOLIC LIQUORS.
"For some years past said an emf
nent physician of this city yesterday, "a
decided inclination has been apparent all
over the country to give up the use of
whiskey and othor strong alcohols, using
as a substitute beer and btters and other
compounds, This is evidently founded
on he idea that beer is not harmful and
contains a large amount of nutriment,
also that bitters may have some medici-
nal quality which will neutraize the al
cohol it contains.
"These theories are without contrma-
ton in my observation, and in the OBJ
servations of physicians and chemists
where ei, her has been used for any length
of time. The constant use of beer is
found to produce species of degenera-
tlon of all the organism, profound and
deceptlvt.' Fatty deposits, diminished
circulation; conditions of congestion and
perversion of functional activity, local
inflammation Of both the kidneys and
liver are constantly present lntellectu-
ally d stupor amounting almost to paral-
yslS arrests the reason, precipitating all
the higher faculties into mere animal
ism.
"In appearance the beer drinker may
be the picture of health, but he is in
reality most incapable of resisting dis
ease, Beer drinking in this country
produces the very lowest forms of inebri-
ETY., closely allied to criminal insanity.
The most dangerous tramps and rut1ians
with which this city abounds are beer
drinkers. Bitters is more dangerous as
a drink than alcohol. But beer is even
more to be feared as an agent Of evil and
destroyer Of health" n. y. Herald.

Lulu Hurst in Washington.
SCIENTISTS AND STATESMEN PUZZLED AT ii
MYSTERIOUS POWER.

SCIENTISTS AND STATESMEN PUZZLED AT HER
MYSTERIOUS POWER.
In response to an invitation from the parents
of the Georgia prodigy, says Washington
special of the 18th inst to the New York World,
Professors Hilgard and Taylor, of the Smith
sonian Institute, attended this evening seance
given at the Metropolitan Hotel, for the pur-
pose Of witnessing an exhibition of the powers
of the young woman. 1t has been claimed for
Miss Hurst that she is able to coin at will ner-
NOus strength sufficient to overcome the mus
cuar resistance of the strongest man. The eX
hibition was in the presence of Senator Ran
som, Congressman Reese. of Georgia. Congress
man Willetts and wife, Judge Harris, of Nir-
gin1a. Richard Townsend and IA number of
people prominent in Washington politics and
socially. The result of the performance was
sufficiently mystifying to make Miss Hurst very
popular with people seeking after the new and
uneXplainable.
In the clear light of blazing chandelier. in
the presence of about fifty watchful people,
the Georgia girl showed herself the possessor of
most curious strength. With her hands rest
ing lightly upon the handle of an umbrella
held by stout young man from among the
spectators she was able TO shoot the umbrella
through space by simple exercise of her will.
Congressman Reese, of Georgia, who is Il very
powerful man, tried to hold a chair in his arms
while Miss Hurst rested her hands lightly upon
it. The chair was forced down in spite of the
most violent struggles of the muscular Con-
gresham until 1t was about two inches from
the floor. Now push the chair down to the
floor cried Father Hurst. Mr.. Reese changed
his resisting powers and bore his whole weight
upon the chair without being able to make it
touch the floor.
This experiment was repeated with two
men, and then three tried to hold the chair still
under the touch of the young woman, but in
vain. 1t was tested in various ways. but no
one was strong enough to resist the so-called
force. Prof. Taylor and Hilgard refused to
personally take part in any of the experiments,
which were made under their inspection, and
could give no explanation of the peculiar pow
er displayed. There is no claim upon the part
of the Hurst family of any supernatural eX-
PLANTATION of the young wOman's powers. For
nine months she has been the possessor of the
nervous strength exhibited this evening. She
can raise chairs iii which stout men are seated
by simply placing her palms on the back
of the chair. This was done this evening
with various we'll known gentlemen who were
present. Miss Hurst is strong, healthy look
ing country girl. She claims to be in perfect
gale of spirits when exhibiting her strength.
She laughs nervously at every movement of the
strong men in their mad struggles to resist the
lightest pressure of her hands. Congressman
Blount, Of Georgia, who was present. thought
1t would have been most excellent thing if
Bill Morrison could have secured Miss Hurst's
support early in the session for his tariff bill.
