That Debate A
To the Editor Of the Ledger.

SCIoToVILLE, o., May IL g in
the LEDGER of April 18th a letter
from L. Gallaher, stating that Brother
Duncan had failed to give him the
postoffice address Of D. l.. Kincaid.
Mr.. Gallaher says II called for a rep
utable gentleman and Mr.. d. l..
kincaid is an entire stranger to me,
and l cannot find out where he lives
or has lived, where he labors or has
labored. 1 shall expect, before 1
accept him as an opponent, to have
the emphatic endorsement of the
Christian church of Mexico" The
above is the demand that Mr.. Gala
her makes. For his benefit I will
give him a few items. D. L. Kin
caid's ~postofice address is Scioto-
vile, Ohio. The Church of Christ
in Sciotoville, Ohio, will endorse him.
But perhaps Mr.. Gallaher will say,
"Who will endorse the church in
Sciotoville?" ID. L. Kincaid has
held in the last ten years ten oral
debates. One with Ramsey Smith
son, of Romney, Va. That debate
was held in Maysville, West Virginia.
In 1883 he held a debate with D. B
Turney, D. D., Of Bloomington, ILL.,,
at Duey, Illinois. In January, 1886,
he held a debate with G. W. Smith,
of the Baptist order, in Samath, Ills.
Mr.. Kincald has his letters of COM
incubation with him. Mr.. Gallaher
can see these if he desires. But per-
baps he will ask "who will endorse
the men that gave him his letters?"
The truth is Brother Duncan has
made Mr.. Gallaher sick. That night
mare is hard to ride. Confess that
you are already sick, that you are not
anxious to go into the ten acre lot
to scalp and decapitate Brother Dun
cans friends. Idon't care to cast any
reflections on. Mr.. Gallaher's ability,
but the public can already see that
Gallaher is already badly whipped.
Just look at the poor fellow! After
sixtee4 of Brother Duncan's articles
have been replied to by Mr.. Gallaher
he (Gallaher) calls out, "who will en-
dorse Duncan?'' Mr.. Gallaher, your
call is after the fight has taken place.
You should have called sooner; you
are too late. Endorsement BY a
church gives no man character, abil-
ity or good manners. 1 will meet
MIR. Gallaher if he says so just for
what he is. No endorsement could
make him an honorable disputant.
No man that can pervert the gospel
as he does and use the hard express
sions about an opponent that he has
about Brother Duncan will be a hard
man to handle in debate.
Yours fraternally,
d. l.. KINcAID, Sciotoville, o.

A building with a History.

Among all the buildings in New York
city to-day there is not another that has
so ancient and eventful history as the
Hall Of Records, or Registers Office, in
the City Hall Park. 1t was erected
about the middle of the last century,
when Broadway was a country road,
when the only theatre stood on the site
OF the present World establishment, when
Centre street was lake, William street
swamp, Canal street a river, and the
Bowerya lonely lane, running up through
huckleberry bushes.
During the Revolutionary war this
building was the chief British prison for
distinguished patriots. Here Captain
Nathan Hale, the intrepid Yankee, was
confined after his capture with plan of
the British defenses of Long Island in
his shoes, and in the public common
adjoining, exactly where the City Hall
now stands, he was hanged as spy.
Here that tough old rebel, Ethan Allen,
of Ticonderoga fame, was imprisoned
after his capture while trying to take
Montreal with thirty men, and his treat
ment and that of others caused the
building, which now stands near the
City Hall station of the elevated road,
to be regarded by the patriots with
adherence.
When the British evacuated New York,
in November, 1888, the jailer, Cunning
ham, having won an infamous reputa-
ton, was asked by his patriot prisoners +:
''What is to become of us?n
''You can go to the deuce!n shouted
Cunningham, as he flung the keys into
the middle of the floor and made off.
1t was forty OF fifty years after that be-
fore the bastile of the Revolution was
remodeled and the bell transferred to
the bridewell. 1t now rings prisoners
to rations and prayers over on Black
wells Island.

Japanese Lac.

The mysteries of the Japan lac have
never been mastered by European artists.
These men were craftsmen of uutiring
patience, and placed by the conditions of
feudal life above the needs Of mere money
making. They were often ennoblel and
always esteemed. They were the com
panions of Princes. They did not hest
tate TO lavish on a sword guard or an
ivory toggle, a screen, or a minute deco
ration of a sword hilt. all their artistic
genius in design and pictorial eff ct.
The modern lac is an ephemeral produc-
tion-thin in texture, with overlaid gild
ING Of effective but not solid character
It's panels and cabinets. rich with ircrus-
tations. are gaudy and ill-drawn. There
is nothing in which the collector so often
goes astray. The old japanese lac resists
heat and cold alike. Submersion beneath
the sea for months does not spoil it. IL
is built up slowly. aud defes centuries OF
wear. This quality of lac is little known
in England, and no representative, au-
thentioated aud signed collection such as
this has ever before been brought to-

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.

Seven Trifles Worth Remembering,
For the disagreeable sensation known
as heartburn, which so often accompa-
nies indigestion, saltspoonful of com
mon salt, dissolved in half a wine glass
of water, and drank, is as effective a rem
edy as a dose of saleratus water, and a
much pleasanter and safer one.
Rubbing n bruise in sweet-oil and then
in spirits of turpentine, will usually pre-
vent the unsightly black aud blue spot,
which not only tells tales but deforms.
When there is an unpleasant odor about
the feet, a small quantity of weak solu-
ton of salicylic acid in the footbath is a
sure destroyer of the offense.
Many Of the patent extracts and bitters
are compounded of an alcohol derived
from wood, and this is said to be pecu-
liarly dangerous form Of alcohol, capable
of producing very serious brain disorder.
One of the most trcacherous medicines
in all pharmacopeia is the hydrate Of
chloral which is so commonly used; cases
are reported where 200 grains have been
taken in safety, and other cases where
ten grains have proved fatal or afforded
only narrow escape from death by
timely aid and effort; this drug should
never be taken but with the advice and
attendance of physician.
Iron articles will seldom rust if they
have been cleanscd from oil by hot soda
water, and afterward dipped in hot lime
water and dried.
Collodion, spirits of turpentine, and
the common salve called oxide of zinc,
are each an invaluable remedy to APP
ply to burns and scalds before a physi-
clan can arrive to do better, if better is to
be done, and sweet oil and lime water
beaten up together make cooling and
healing ointment for them as good as any
medicament nown.-Hdrper'S BGsGr.

Hints to ConsnmptiYes.


Consumptives should use food as nourishing
as can be had, and in shape that will best
agree with the stomach and taste of the M
tient.
ut-door exercise is earnestly recommended.
If you are unable to take such exercise on
horseback or on foot, that should furnish no
excuse for shutting yourself indoors but YOU
should take exercise in carriage, or in some
other way bring yourself in contact with the
open air.
Medicines which cause expectoration must
be avoided. For five hundred years ply
sicians have tried to euro Consumption by
using them, and have failed. Where there is
great arrangement of the secretons, with
engagement of air-cells, there is always
profuse expectoration. Now Piso's Cure re-
moves the engagement and the arrangement
of the secretions, and consequently land in
this way only diminishes the amount of mat.
ter eXpectorated. This medicine does not dry
up cough, but removes the cause of it.
When it is impossible from debility or other
causes TO exercise freely in the open air, apart.
ments occupied by the patient should be SC
ventilated rs TO ensure the constant accession
of fresh air in abundance
The surface of the body should be sponged
as often as every third day with tepd water
and little soft-soap. (rhis is preferable TO
any other) After thoroughly drying, use
Cod-Liver or Olive is the best. This keeps the
pores of the skin in q soft, pliable condition,
which contributes materially to the unloading
of waste matter from the system through this
organ. You will please recollect we cure this
d sease by enabling the organs Of the system
TO perform their functions in a normal way,
or, in other wolds, we remove distractions,
While the recuperative powers of the system
cure the disease.
We will here say n word in regard to cough
In the forming stage, where there is no con.
stitutional noticeable disease. A cough
may or may not foreshadow serious evil; take
1t in its miidest form, to say the least, it is
nu s9nce, and should be abated.
cough is unlike any other symptom of dis
ease. 1t stands a conspirator, with threaten
ing voice, menacing the health and existence
of vital organ. Its first approach is in whis.
pers unintelligible, and at first too often un-
needed. but in time il never fails to ma Q itself
understood-never fails to claim the attention
of those on whom il calls.
II you have a cough without disease of the
lungs or serious constitutional disturbance, so
much the better, as Il few do .es of Piso's Cure
Will be all you may need, while il you ro far
advanced in Consumption, several bottles may
be required to effect a permanent cure.

gether and tie in a cloth, allowing suffi-
cient room for the pudding to swell.
Then plunge it into boiling water and let
it boil briskly for from four and half to
five hours or until done.
JUNKET.-A plain junket is made by
warming two quarts of fresh milk until a
very little warmer than when just from
the COW; pour the milk into large orna-
mental bowl or dish in which it can be
brought to the table, and while the milk
is warm, STIR into it two tablespoonfuls
of prepared rennet; stir gently for two
minutes, then set away in cold place.
1t will soon become a solid, sweet curd.
Serve by dipping the curd out in large
slices with small, fat ladlc or broad
/ spoon. 1t may be eaten with rich cream
alone, or with cream and powdered
/ sugar.
