Red Pepper and Salt for Cholera
Scientific American.

A Massachusetts correspondent calls our atten-
ton to the publication, about thirty years ago,
of very successful cholera cure, introduced in
this way The captain of an emigrant ship, COM
ing from Europe, had lost many of his passengers
by cholera, although freely dosing all who were
sick with the remedies then usual. At last he
made prescription of his own-one tea-spoonful
of red pepper and tablespoonful of salt to half
pint of boiling water; this to be given as hot as
possible, to every patient when first taken. 1t is
said that this simple remedy acted as a charm,
curing all the cases on board that ship, and at
tanning considerable general popularity during
the time of that cholera visitation.

The widow of Gen. Custer relates that, in a
Dakota Indian dance, four-year. old boy was
brought to the circle by his mother and left to
make his little whrling gyraticns around the ring
of the dancers. 1t was explained that he had
won his right to join in the festivities of the tribe
Of the four Indians of a rival tribe left a bat
tlefed, one, though mortally wounded, was not
yet dead when the retreat took place. A squaw
melted the child to plunge knife into the
wounded warrior. As reward he acquired the
privilege of joining in all celebrations, and the
right to wear an eagle feather standing straight
from the scalp-lock of his tiny head. The moth
er's eyes cleaned with pride as she watched the
miniature warrior admitted among the mature
and experienced braves.

Did he Fire at the Train about o'clock
on Monday evening last, when the train on the
Western Maryland road which bore President
Cleveland from Gettysburg to Washington was
passing near Mount Hope Station, in this county,
some near the track fired three pistol shots in
quick succession the flash of the pistol having
been seen by persons on the train. The Wash
ington papers attempted to make sensation out
of this but it is not believed that any harm in
tended to the President or his party. The firing
was probably the act of thoughtless boy or per-
haps of man under the influence of liquor, who
thought he might create a small sensation.

John Splan, the driver. He drove scrub race
against a friend recently, who lost his hat when
about four lengths ahead Of Splan. Splan s
horse put his foot through it and it worked its
way up the horses leg, making it look like a
patent knee boot. Splan apologized, and taking
off his horses new quarter boots, presented them
to his vanquisher to square matters.

Seasonable Reading.-An exchange says
What follows here is very seasonabe bit of read
ing, but you will please take notice that it means
you exactly, not your next door neighbor, or that
family across the street "Scrub, clean and disin-
feet every closet and cellar with concentrated lye,
or something just as good. Whitewash thorough
ly cellars, hen houses and every other place that
can be whitewashed. Rake away rubbish, ven-
tilate and let the sunlight and air into all corners
and crannies. Battle your body and change your
clothing often. Eat healthful food, and live reg
ularly. Finally, keep your conscience clear, and
don't become scared, no matter what happens
Cholera deaths have come about from pure scare
fear. We may or may not have cholera in the
United States this summer, but in any case don't
lose your head. In epidemics there are always
those who move about in the midst of them, brave
" facing them, doing what needs to be done, and
never once taking the disease. They seem to bear
charmed lives. It is their strong fearlessness
more than anything else that saves them.

Buried Under Hundreds of Tons.-The
Mary land Central railroad met with another mis-
hap this week which considerably interfered with
the running of the trains. At early hour on
Tuesday night slide of rock occurred in the deep
cut on the south side of the Gunpowder, covering
the track to the depth of about twenty feet. For
tunately the discovery was made soon after it &C.
Cured and the work of removing it was at once
commenced and kept up night and day until the
track was cleared. Chief Engineer Peasants
says there were between seven and eight hundred
tons of rock in the cut, filling it full.

A Good Move.-The Belair Times of last
week says: "The Fallston Farmers Club, very
properly and commercially. is taking steps to-
ward preventing the pollution of streams in the
county with refuse from canning houses. This is
matter of Importance, not to farmers alone, but
to the community at large, and it is to be hoped
that the committee appointed by the club will not
relax their efforts until the health authorities
have taken such action as will effectualy put a
stop to this practice"

Where You Will Find It.-Last week we
had something to say about the pink arbutus and
this called forth the inquiry from young lady
who asks where she will be most likely to find it.
We will tell her:
Far in the depths of the mighty woods,
Where the swapping turtles run,
And the brindle cow in the branches broods
From the dawn to the set of sun;
Where the caribou and the panther fight,
And the hungry coyotes bark,
!, And the blue fox howls the livelong night
Near the den of the Boojum sark
Where the framptious Mugwump makes his lair
And the amorous guyascutis
His love song sings to the grizzly bear,
You'll find the pink arbutus.
P. S.-If you don't find it there, let us know.

Does It Mean Anything miss Hook, who
lives on the Pimlico road, Sd district, recently
hired man who applied to her for work. Short
ly afterwards she had the man to drive her to her
brothers, Mr. Johnzey Hook, who lives near
Sherwood. While there Mr.. Hook said to the
man that his was the name of the man who had
been charged with the murder of Mr.. Russell, of
Reisterstown, some time ago. The remark SEEM
ed to confuse the man, and the most singular
part of the affair was that very early the next
morning, after his return to Miss Hooks, he hur-
riedly left the premises, without giving the slight
est intmation of his intention to do so and leav-
ing some of his effects behind him We think it
would be well for the officers of the law to inves-
tigate this matter.

Rossville, 18th DESTRUCTION Thursday of
last week, three extensive woods fires occurred in
this vicinity. One in Middle River Neck commence
ing near Tower HILL and extending in south
easterly direction to the P. W. & B. R. R., and
along the line of said road for some distance,
damaging young timber and fencing in its course.
small barn, containing lot of of hay, also o
pen of hogs, were destroyed. The land over
which the fire spread is owned by DR.. VIM. H.
Mace and others. The fire was the result of care
lessness of colored man engaged in burning
brush. y
Also, one in Back River Neck, commencing
near the school house, and extending in south
easterly direction over the land of Mr.. Herman
and others, for a considerable distance. This fire,
too, was the result of careessness of some small
children playing with fire. The damage was
chiefly to timber and fencing.
The third one was north of the Philadelphia
road and west of Steamers run, and extending
in a northerly direction about a mile in length,
and covering an area of perhaps six hundred
acres ofland, owned by Messrs. Geo. H. Williams,
Townsend, Brown, Trump and others. Mr.. Will
liams lost quantity of cut wood and Mr.. Trump
had great deal of fencing destroyed. This fire,
it is thought, the result of the careless hand
ling of matches by a tramp.
The canning house, barn and contents except
the live stock, owned by Mr.. Beewig, and located
on the old T. L. road, south of the Blue Ball, and
intersecting the Philadelphia road, 81 miles from
Baltimore, were destroyed by fire on Friday night
of last week. One horse was badly burned. The
fire is thought to have been of incendiary origin.
The buildings were insured, but the loss is not
known. PRINCIPLE.
