DIR. GEORGE r. SHEPHERD, of Hart
ford, Conn, says, in respect to the use
of hot water as a remedial agent
in the treatment OF inflammation of
the mucuous membrane: have used
hot water rs a gargle for the past six
or eight years. In acute pharyngitis
and tonsilitis, and in coryza, or cold
in the head, if properly used in COM
mencement of the attack, it constitutes
one of our most effective remedies,
being frequently promptly curative.
To be of service it should be used in
considerable quantity "a half pint or a
pint at time) and just as hot as the
throat will tolerate. / have seen many
cases of acute disease thus aborted, and
can commend the method with great
confidence

An Extraordinary Deception,

The playing of confidence games by
men for the good of their living bodies
is a common thing enough, hut the
late Samuel II. House, of Galesburg,
H., secured an unique sort of fame by
playing one for the benefit of his
corpse. He went to Eureka Springs,
Ark, for his health, appeared well,
and represented himself to be lawyer,
and, when his disease became aggre-
waited and death approached, called in
a lawyer and made his will. He gave
$4,000 to a woman in Missouri, large
sums to others, and made r.. ID. Mont
gomery, of Eureka Springs, tie execu-
tor. And on the strength of his
representations, he got Montg to
advance 1927 for the expenses of the
sickness and to buy burial casket,
and after House died the victim took
the body TO Galesburg with all the
honors. There he found that House
was an ex.convict without a cent, and
went home marveling at the ingenuity
of the man in providing for the trans
portation and care of his own body by
elaborate fiction.

PARTISAN POLITICS.

Party managers are in more trouble
this year about their own parties than
about their opponents. The time has
passed when the simple fact of being
on ticket insured the vote of every
member of the party to which the
ticket belonged. The differences
which affect personal feelings are so
slight that voters can no longer be
held to straight ticket by political
principles. Political qualifications
will. no longer tie the voters to men
whose personal character will not
stand investigation, and it is much
better that such is the case. The best
party men are those who insist on.
their party candidates being good men,
and there are so many Of that class
now IN each party that it is probable
that no convention will dare nominate
a mere wire-puller for any office, but
will choose candidates who will be
able to fill the offices to which they
aspire. and who do not entirely depend
on political services and opinions, but
have personal character and reputation
to recommend them.

THERE is enough doubt as to
whether the Ceur d. Alene mines are
really valuable or only pulled as a
stage and railroad enterprise to justify
people who contemplated going there,
in waiting for some assurance of
merit. 1t must, of course, be under
stood that there are many who, not
being able to pick up money without
work, will see everything through
darkened glasses and will send un-
favorable reports; but there are so
many Of these coming at present, and
none to the contrary, except from
interested sources, that surmise, at
least, is created to the truthfulness of
the first accounts of the wonderful
wealth of that section.

wIGGINS ON THE EATRER.

Ina private letter Professor Virgins
says: "As then indicated the Winter
of 1884 has been remarkable--at all
events in Canada-for its mountains of
snow. Floods have occurred of very
disastrous character, and the orange
trees were killed in Florida on the
very week / mentioned, namely, the
first in January. You will hear Of a
great storm at Halifax on the after.
noon of March 2Sth Ohis month";. 1t
will be very heavy in Great Britain on
the Goth. This will not, however,
equal the storm of March 18, 1885,
which will visit America on that
date" If Professor Virgins had lived
in Hawthorne during last Winter he
would have thought the weather bad
subject about which to make unpleas-
ant predictions, and if he comes here
next Winter, his mind will probably
get easy and he will cease alarming
the world with disagreeable anticipa-
tiOny.

THE Sheriff and some of the other
officers of New York have been in

The disease, it seems, RACES elsewhere
rs il does in Nevada, but public feel
ing is getting worked up and investi-
CATION and punishment is demanded.
Formerly prosecutions were deferred
through the fear officials had of
making enemies of the friends of the
culprits. The tide has at last turned
and the people now demand that guilty
county officers be punished. 1t is
only fair to the innocent that the
scrutiny of the law take the guilty from
among them and it is only fair to the
people that those whom they trusted
should be punished, that a warning
may be given against repetitions of
the same disgraceful breaches of trust.

THE CARSON AND COLORADO
RAILROAD.

The Carson and Colorado Railroad,
starting from the Mound House-a
saloon on the Virginia and Truckee
Railroad, a few miles from Virginia
City-and ending no man knows eX-
actly where, is a puzzle to the railway
world. The end of il, about 300 miles
from the beginning, is poking around
the sage. brush looking 70. new min

ing for a sleeping jack-rabbit. A Mr..
Yerington is the genius who superin-
tends the road, and guides the pros
pecting end Of it. d. o. Mills has the
pleasure of footing the bils.-San
Franciscan.
The Carson and Colorado Railroad
came poking along this way and
poked new life into the business of
this section. 1t then continued its
search for new districts, found those
near Walker Lake, on Mounts Grant
and Cory, and those in The ellis
Mountains, making it possible for
many men to probably work in mines
which were previously of no value, on
account of the expense Of transporta-
ton. 1t has gone on South, finding
new districts, and the more it finds the
better tor all this part of Nevada. The
opportunity to fling rather cutting
jest at II railroad was in this instance
little too much for the San Francis
can's sense of fair play.-Lyon County

PLAIN TALK.

Mr.. Morrison heard some plain talk
in the House Committee of Ways and
Means during the consideration of the
tariff question. One of 5000 working
men Of Youngstown, Ohio, who signed
n protest against "tinkering with the
tariff" said to the Committee: We
do not think it right for you to re-
duce us to the condition of the work.
ingmen of England. You cannot
reduce the tariff without reducing our
wages, and the agitation of the subject
makes our work unsteady. There are
1900 men in the works where | am
employed. Until this agitation began
we had work, on the average, about
ten months in the year. In the last
year we have had work only four or
five months" Another iron worker
remarked to the Committee: of free
trade is such good thing for English
workingmen, why are our factories
filled with them, and why do they tell
us that they sought homes here to
escape the dogs life they led in
EnglandY' 1t will be difficult to
satisfy workingmen if their wages
should be reduced.-S. r. Cal.
