The Only Remedy for Snoring.

There is precisely one remedy
for snoring, and it is to Sir Hum
phrey Davy that We owe its dis
covery. That eminent scientific
person ascertained that snoring is
duo to an abnormal vibration of
the cords of the larnyx, and that
this vibration occurs puly when
the surface of the larnyx has be-
come dry. A man who sleeps with
his mouth open until his larnyx
has become dry by contact with
the atmosphere is SURF to snore.
Sir Humphrey saw at once that in
order to cure a snorer his larnyx
must be kept moistened or relax.
ed. He found by experiments up
on q Methodist preacher of unu.
sual snoring powers that piece
Of CASTLE soap inserted in the
mouth Of the snorer effected an
instant cure and warded OF any
further attack Of snoring for at
least twenty.four hours. Repeat
cd applications of soap broke up
the habit Of snoring, and thus Of
fected q permanent euro.
According to Sir Humphrey Da.
w, CASTLE soap, which Is compo.
sed Of olive oil and soda, is decom.
posed the moment It comes in con.
tact with the human tongue, which
has q wonderful affinity for oxy-
gen. The olive.oil being thus set
free, 'lubricates and relaxes the
larnyx, while the sodium Is forci.
bly, expelled In the shape Of
strongly alkaline language by the
snorer, who awakens the moment
the decomposition of the soap be.
gins. 1t Is seldom necessary to
administer CASTLE soap more than
three or four times and the most
obstinate case Of snoring known
to medical men was cured with
six doses.
1t might be remarked that al
most any variety Of soap can be
used with benefit rs q remedy fol
snoring. CASTLE soap is, never
theless, much more rapid In It's &C
tion than any other variety, will
the solitary exception Of soft-soap
The latter however, is seldom
found outside of farm-houses, ant
its administration presents Ger
tain difficulties which win hinde'
1t from ever becoming popular

iii, FOntaIne / Cos Report for the
Memphis District.

Memphis, May S.-The cotton
crop report for the Memphis dis
trict, embracing West Tennessee,
North Mississippi, North Arkan
sas and North Alabama, to be pub
lished tomorrow by Hill, Fontaine
& Co., will say: There win be a
decreased acreage planted in cot.
ton in this district Of 1 per cent as
compared with last year. The
acreage in corn. however, shows
an increase planted of 2t per cent.
The weather has been most unfa-
vorable for planting purposes,
nearly all of our 29s correspond
ents reporting too much rain and
cool weather. The average date
for planting cotton in this district
is from April Goth to 9th; yet up
to May lst one-half of the land that
is to be planted in cotton had not
been so used, and as the weather
has continued unfavorable to date
for planting, the farming interest
throughout the district is therefore
fully three weeks behind time.
With fair weather from now on,
however, planting viii be pushed
with vigor, and the backwardness
of the season cannot be taken as
unfavorable for a good yield.
The aggregate of 29Sresponscs is |:
Acreage-Sixty.two report an
increased acreage planted in cot
ton, as compared with last year !;
76 report a decrease in the acre
age; 160 about the same; average
decrease 1 per cent.
Weather-Two hundred and
eighty.four report the weather
less favorable than last year; IL

A Certain Cure for HydrophobIa'

Littlo hOCk 0dlettesI
To the Editor: Having read In
your valuable paper Of o number
Of persons having been bitton by
a rabid dog, and knowing the anx-
iety of mind caused those persons
and their families, Of what horrible
deaths may be awaiting them In
the near future, I wish in the
cause Of humanity you publish this.
l have known of ifty cases of per-
sons being bitten by rabld dogs
in Montgomery county Pa, in the
last twenty years. and nota single
death resulted where this remedy
was used according to the direc.
tions, while those who refused to
take It, and had q "regular' attend
them. invariably died with the ra-
bies. have known of cases where
two persons were both bitten at
the same time, one took the rene.
dy and never suffered any Ill eff
fects from the bite, while the other
died with the rabies In nine weeks
after being bitten. l would earn
estly request all your half.milliop
readers to cut this out and pre-
serve II, for there is no telling
whom they will badly need 1t.
Take II ounces Of elecampanc-
root, grindlt fine "a coffee mill will
do), put the ground root in q pint
Of new milk, boil down to a half
pint, take it at one dose in the
morning, and fast say till 4p. m.
ofthe same day. Repeat this every
other day for three days, making
three doses In all. The last two
doses may consist Of two ounces OF
the root to the pint Of milk. II is
important that 1t be taken on an
empty stomach, also that nothing
should be eaten till from eight to
ten hours after taking.
I would also state for generalin.
formation in regard to the cure
that the remedy can be taken at
any time. Mostsof those bitten
took II Immediately after being Bit
ten. Others took II weeks after,
and still others not till the rabies
were present. In every casewhere
a patient was able to swallow a
cure was affected.

DEAR GENERAL.N-Several arti-

columns of certain journals in this

lead the public in reference to the

sailors. We respectfully suggest
that, as chairman of the Central
Committee, you give to the public
over your own signature, an Off.

connected with this worthy object.
AS ex-Union soldiers, actively CO.
operating with this movement,
and anxious for its complete sue

Mr.. L. Battencourt, now of this
city, but for years clerk In the
American consul's Office at Hav.
ana, said in an interview to-day :
" Gen. Badeau is probably the
most cordially hated person who
ever held an official position un-
der the American Government at
Havana, and II is to this fact more
than to any other that | attribute
his resignation. From the start,
he made q very unfavorable i'm
preston. He was pompous in his
manners, and instead Of being a
servant of the people, he made
Americans who had business with
him feel that he was doing favor
which placed them under everlast.
ing obligations to him. He was
severely criticised by the press,
and I do not believe he had q sin
gle friend, either among the for
eign or native population. On his
arrival at Havana, he opened a
very fine house, had AN elegant
coach, and sought to obtain en-
trance into society. On one occa-
sion he lssued over three hundred
invitations to a dinner, but not a
single person accepted, save those
whose official position made 1t in.
cumbent upon them to do SO. AT
ter that failure he closed his house
and made his residence at a small
hotel three miles from the city, to
which he frequently compelled
shippers and ship captains to 60
in order to transact business with
him.
The above greatly enhances our

New YORK, MAY 8, 1884,

/ gladly comply with the re.
quest contained In the above let.
ter, not only in Difference to the
wishes of Generals Aspinwall,
O'Bierno, McMahon and Mr.. Tan.
ner, but also because Of the gen.
eral interest manifested In the
subject itself. The leading facts,
briefly stated, are these:
First.-The movement to erect
a home for disabled ox.Confeder-
ate soldiers by voluntary contrib.
utions may be said to be sponta-
neous. 1t not only commands the
earnest sympathy and support Of
ex Confederates everywhere, but
Of the bravo men Of the Union ar.
my, from its great captain, whose
fame is known to all countries,
down to the priyates, who them.
selves, In some cases poor and
wounded, are sending as contri-
button TO this fund q part OF the
pensions paid them by the gener-
al government.
Second.-The statement that q
homo is not needed would per-
haps be sufficiently answered by a
reference to the long list of Union
soldiers who require and justly re.
ceive the aid of the general gov
ernment. That there are large
numbers Of ex-Confederates who
were also disabled in the war, aud
who are still living and will live
for thirty years to come is Of course
true.
Third.-lt Is scarcely necessary
TO state that the ex.Confederate
and ex- Union officers and soldiers
who have been placed In charge
of this movement are giving atten
tion, time and means freely to this
cause without salaries or perquis
ties or moneyed consideration o.
any nature whatsoever.
Fourth.-Thc contributions will
be deposited with the Centra
Trust Company, of New York
which has kindly consented to aci
as trustee, and will be paid ouI
only for the legitimate objects o.
the trust, and through the proper
banking aud business arrange
ments already perfected by gen
tlemen of the highest character o.
Richmond, and upon vouchers du
ly audited. Announcements viii
be made from time TO time through
the press Of all subscriptions, un
less requests are specially mad.
by contributors that their names
be not given to the public. II
such cases only the amounts viii
be made public.
Fifth.-When the brave men who
lost limb and health In the South
ern armies, and who win thus b,
sheltered In their old age, shal
have passed away, the home oI
homes will become institutions fol
the education and training of theil
children for useful occupations ii
life, who might otherwise become
through poverty and neglect, bur
dens upon society.
Sixth.-The primary object o
this movement TO care for thes,
brave and unfortunate men is ons
which must command the synpa
thy of all good men and women II
all onr land, but these homes viii
also be enduring monuments II
real peace and real union, as vel
as to the magnanimity of the vic
tors of the late war.
Seventh.-In order that thil
cause shall attain its highest ant
best results, II must find its ow1
support IN the hearts Of the peo
pie, and work It's way to success
BY none Of the ordinary methods
Of canvass by agents. or other
