A Cheap Disinfectant.

In these hot summer days, when there
is so much evaporation about buildings,
the following will serve a good purpose
Take of nitrate Of lead one heaped tea.
spoonful and dissolve in quart of boil
ing water; then take fouI heapod tea.
spoonfuls of common table salt and dis
solve it in bucket nearly full Of cold
water; now add the quart of boiling
water containing the nitrate of lead mix
up with a stick, and the article is com
plete. This puriiicator is useful to throw
into cesspools, water-closets, decaying
offensive substances creating a nuisance,
to neutralize the eliluvia from scarlet
fever, diphtheria, typhus and typhoid
fcvers, dysentery, smallpox in fact, in
all diseases of an infections or contagious
character. 1t is as clear as water, and
can be sprinkled around the room and
over the bed clothes occupied by persons
laboring under infectious or contagious
diseases. This disinfectant is equal il
not superior to chlorides, biomo-chlor-
alum, chlorides of lime and soda, and is
free from any unpleasant ordor. 1t is very
cheap, costing only about two cents a
bucketful, tho nitrate of lead can be OBJ
tanned at nearly every drug store, and
the salt being in every house costs almost
nothing.

THE pEmocRAr1o TICKET.

The ticket put in nomination BY the
county convention last Monday reflects
considerable credit on the county Dem.
ocracy. The candidates nominated rep
resent fully and impertially the true
spirit and principles of the Democratic
party. 1t is but right to expect that the
candidates nominated by the late con-
vention Will receive the hearty support
OF all Democrats and the hearty cooper
alton OF the disappointed. In the com.
ing contest 1t is necessary that we stand
together firm and united, all working
harmoniously for a common cause.-the
welfare Of the DemOcracy--and the sue
cess Of the ticket is assured. The per-
sonal difficulties which presented them
selyes and which had TO be overcome at
the past several elections has been the
means of reducing Democratic maiori-
ty OF six or seven hundred to question
able figures. We all admit of the in
consistency of such proceedings. We
have seen Republicans fill Offices that
should only be filed by Democrats in a
Democratic county. This can be avoid
ed in the future by the adhesion of all
Democratic voters to the Democratic
ticket. 1t is but just to the candidates
nominated and honorable to Democracy
that every effort be made to bring out
the regular vote and work up the old
time six Or seven hundred majority for
every candidate.

The New York star begins its second
year under the management of Mr..
Dorsheimer by doubling its size without
increasing its price. This is an assurance
either of great prosperity or of great
temerity. The Star is such an excellent
newspaper that we do not doubt its
enterprise is the result of popular ap-
probation. Its sales ought to double in
answer to its doubled size and outlay.
As the only straight Democratic daily
in Democratic New York it should have
an answering support.

Mr.. BLAINE and his friends have
reaped the fruits of their vigorous
campaign in Maine and have succeeded
in carrying the State for the Republican
ticket by about the average majority.
The vote is lighter and the majorit Y
smaller than it was years ago, but quite
up to the figurers of an ordinary off
year, if not little better, and with this
Brother Blaine should be content. APP
parently the Prohibition vote has not
exceeded that cast two years ago by the
Prohibitionists, Greenbackers and other
scattering forces. As regards individual
results, says the Philadelphia Times,
the only matter of general interest is the
return of Mr.. Reed to Congress. This
is as it should be. He is one of the
ablest men upon the Republican side of
the House, and his defeat would have
been a national loss. Perhaps there is
no other Maine man of whom so much
could be said
