ism.

Mr.. Blaine's opinion of Know nothing
ism is no secret. He has declared it in
the history which he has recently publish
ed. In his first volume, page III. Mr..
Blaine said:
Thenceforwsrd new alliances were rapidly
formed In the South those Wings who,
though still unwilling to profess an anti
slavery creed, would not unite with the
democrats, were reorganized under the name
of the American party, with Humphrey
Marshall Henry Winter Davis, Horace
Maynard. and men of that class for leaders
This party was fou .ded on prescription of
foreigners, and with especial hostility to the
Roman Catholic church. 1t had fitful and
feverish success, and in 1854 50, under the
name of Know othings enrolled tens OF
thousands in secret lodges. But its creed
Was Maroon, its principles Tere thtiberat
and it's methods of procedure boyish and un-
dignifed. The great body of thinking men
in the North saw the real contest impending
was against slavery and not against naturali-
cation laws and ecclesiastical dogmas. The
Know Nothings therefore, speedily disap-
peared.
MIR. Blaine never was Nothing,
and his opinion of the organization is
found in the above extract, written at a
time when he was not a candidate, and
had no expectation or wish that he would
be a candidate for the Presidency.

HEALTH HINTS.

The best way to allay sunburn is to
battle the face in cold cream at night.
A little spirits of hartshorn applied to a
spider or mosquito bite will soon relieve
the pain and itching.
For eczematous sores in children and
old people, Doctor Duhring recommends
an ointment of five grains of iodide of
lead to the drachm of vaseline.
The habit of wearing handkerchiefs
and other coverings over the ears, so as
to press the external ears against the
head, is opposed on the grounds of caus-
ing deafness.
A pleasant remedy for cough is lemon
honey. 1t is made of the juice of three
lemons, one pound of sugar, quarter of a
pound of butter and six eggs. The mix
ture is boiled and taken hot.
Where there is any indication of bed
sores being formed, common buffalo
robe should be spread under the patient
with the hair side up, the under sheet
being spread over it next to the patient.
This is said to be far superior to cush-
ions, water pillows and pads.
Doctor Brandini, of Florence, says that
citric acid will assuage the violent pain
which is the usual concomitant of cancer.

under his dirty vest, the scallop just fit

pins fastened the paper to the card

One Of the Biggest.

Four years ago Fred Campbell was
down in the neighborhood of Smartsville,
to which place he was delivering a wagon
load of soda water. A man was with
Campbell. AS they were going along the
road by Moneys Flat they heard a noise
in bush fence on one side, and, looking
they saw the head of huge serpent
emerge from the fence. The snake was
a monster in size, and Campbell and his
companion looked closely at it. They
described the boy, about the middle,
to be as large as a flour barrel, and the
length of the snake was certainly over
fifty one feet. They ascertained this APP,
proxmate length by observing that when
the tail was just leaving the fence the
head of the serpent was near certain
bush, and the bush was about forty one
feet from the hole in the fence where
the snake broke through. The distance
was measured, but the snake was not in
a straight line between the two points,
tor it had the undulations that all SER
penis use to enable them to crawl
The big snake moved very rapidly to-
ward the Yuba river, and was in sight
for only some five seconds.
Before Campbell saw this monster many
persons had reported seeing very
large snake in the vicinity of Industry
Bar, at the junction of Yuba river and
Deer creek. Since Fred Campbells mar
rative every once in while we have
heard of persons seeing a great snake
somewhere on the line of one of the
branches of the Yuba. Near French
Corral, Frcemans crossing and other
places this kind of big snake has been
reported as being seen. The latest
account we have is from Dr. Holdsworth,
an excellent and truthful gentleman, who
resides at Milton, Sierra county. He
says that during the last snow storm he
saw track made in the snow as if q
snowshoe had passed along, but the
shape of the track and the route it fol
lowed showed that no human being
could have made it. About week ago
he found out what made the track, for
then he saw sporting in the water of the
creek, near where the tracks were, q
huge monster, fully twenty feet long,
which resemblcd a snake. We have no
doubt but the snake DR.. HoldsNo rtll
saw is the younger brother or younger
sister of the snake Fred Campbell saw
near Smartsville. We seriously believe
there is a family, so to speak of gigan-
tic indigenous serpents that inhabit the
banks of the Yuba river in the foothills,
and the higher mountain regions. Too
many have seen such things to allow q
doubt of their existence. -GraSs Vale,

The Loon.

This wild and solitary bird, once album
dainty represented in this region-in the
old days of the early New England settle
ments-is now but seldom seen on our
Connecticut rivers and lakes. 1t is still
occasionally met with, however, on some
of our Connecticut waters, as on Hartland
pond in West Hartford, Long Hill pond
New Hartford (whcre, few years ago,
on a low-water island, it was known to
rest), and other places in not much fire.
quented localities. DR.. Wood, of South
Windsor, shot one on the Connecticut
river opposite that place not long ago ;
but the loon is the hardest of all birds to
shoot. His quickness is amazing. He
will dodge rifle ball by diving after he
sees the flash, and this at distance not
greater than eight rods. The writer once
succeeded in hitting one with bullet at
long range by creeping through thick
cover toward a small and select company
of these wild birds that were having a
little picnic of their own in the water at
SUNRISE but unless they can be so taken
they must be shot, if at all, as DR.. Wood
shot his, by having his gun already aimed
at the probable spot where the loon will
rise, and firing at the very instant the
water breaks, even before the birds head
really appears.
Here is an account of the loon by tho
best observers of birds in America;
One of the strong and original strokes
Of nature was when she made the loon
1t is always refreshing to contemplate a
creature so positive and characteristic.
He is the great diver and flyer under
water. The loon is the genus loci of the
wild Northern lakes, as solitary as they
are. Some birds represent the majesty
of nature, like the eagles; Others its fe-
rocity, like the hawk; Others its cunning
like the crow; others its sweetness and
melody, like the song birds. The loon
represents its wildness and solitariness.-
