DR.. Felix L. Oswald says in Home and
Farm: Moisture, in the form of vapor-
bath is an excellent remedy for tetanus,
or lockjaw. The immobiIity of the jaw
is only the culminative symptom of a
complaint which might be defined as a
,rigor of the upper motor muscles. The
affection begins with a peculiar stiffness
in the back part of the neck, rendering
every sideward motion of the head pain
full or e N impossible; before long the
crampp,' VGensation extends to the spine;

bones were mechanically riveted, and
could be moved only by breaking force
if not by miracle. Yet steam bath,
or even wet pack in sheets drenched
with warm water, is 4. gaerally sufficient
to accomplish tha@ miracle. The com
bined influence of warmth and moisture
seems to relax the rigor of the muscles;
first the spine, and by-and-by the neck
and jaws feel the relief, and by continual
friction the danger of relapse can be
obviated for quarter of an hour, after
which the abnormal symptoms will be re-
duced to a lingering numbness, as after
stunning fall.

Republican County Convention.

The Republican executive committee
met last Saturday and called county
convention to be held in the court house
on Wednesday, September Is, to select six
delegates and six alternates to represent
this county in the State convention to be
held in Raleigh on the 29nd inst. II is
hoped that every township will send full
delegations and that Republicans favora-
bic to the call will he selected. 1t is
hoped that an intelligent and orderly
delegation will so up from every pre-
cinct, and that it will be evidenced in
this year that the rulfIanly, rabbling,
mob days arc past with u.s. Let contcn-
tious boIsterous factions stay at home.

Human Interest in Animals.

The interest which yearly increases in
horses and other domesticated animals
will be as much manifested as ever at the
summer resorts. Although attended with
much difficulty and annoyance, people
with horses of their own, used either for
the saddle or driving, try in-J9any in
stances to have them IeI he sea-
side or suburban places Arriors jelmake
their longest suburban 6 was crai that
they may have the enjoyment OF them.
To greater extent this is the case
with pet dogs, though many of the best
summer hotels and boarding houses OBJ
ject to receiving them, and there is
hardly hotel man who has not had to
meet and settle the difficult dog prob
lem; for while guests. as rule, object
to having miserable little whipper
snappers trotting and snarling around
the passages and seeing them, as
sometimes happens, brought into the
dining room, there are many persons who
think so much of their pet bowwows
that they will not go themselves where
their canine darlings are refused. 1t is
mainly in order to crafty the growing
human interest in the animal world that
at so many places of summer resort
special accommodations for horses and
other animals are being provided and ia
cilities increased for having them con-
tribute to the amusement of the great
crowds that congregate at these places.

a few minutes after 10 o'clock. last
Tuesday night, as many of our citizens
were retiring for the night, and VIC were
striving to prepare something for our

a rumbling noise which we thought to
be a passing hack, but it continued to
get louder until the windows ratified and
the house fairly shook. We went out
and found all the ncighbors inquiring
''Did you feel itl Did you hear it?' It
was an earthquake. About fifteen min
utes later slight shock was felt, but

To be a Roman citizen was great
honor and privilege. The Romans were
very liberal in granting this favor. First
they gave it to all the free men of Rome;

to all Italy; afterwards it was given to
many people in conquered cities and pro-
vinces.

How TO Maze Yourself U nhappy.

In the first place, if you want to make
poursef miserable, be selfish. Think all
the time of yourself and your things
Don't care about anything else. Have no
feeling for any but yourself. Never think
of enjoying the satisfaction of seeing
others happy, but rather if you see a
smiling face be jealous lestanother should
enjoy what you have not. Envy every
ono who is better of than yourself; think
unkindly of them and speak lightly Of
them. BE constantly afraid lest some one
should encroach upon your rights; be
watchful against it, and if any should
come near your things snap at them like
a mad dog. Contend earnestly for every
thing that is your own that may not be
worth pin. Never yield point. Be
very sensitive and take everything that
is said to you in playfuness in the most
serious manner. BE jealous OF your friends
est they should not think enough of you;
and if at any time they should seem to
neglect you put the worst construction
upon their conduct. Halls JournaI q

The area of practical agricultural lands
in this country is immensely extended by
practical irrigation. In all the Terri
tories west of Tooth degree of longitude
this method has added millions to the
value of the producing soils and wonder
fully extended their capacity. In Ari.
IONA, especially, irrigation is aiding the
rapid development of the Territory and
demonstrating its productiveness. The
practice is TO food small grain from
two to four times during the season.
Fruit and grass need less water. The
Arizona canal is over forty miles long,
and irrigates nearly 100000 acres OF
land. Other canals are now in progress
on the Lower ella which will irrigate
over 200,0 acres. In New Mexico,
along the Rio Grande, large canarwas
recently completed which is expected tc
bring more than 200, 900 acres into cul.
tivation. While these great water sup
plies are Of first-rate consequence to the
development of the rainless districts,
they are nevertheless the origins of gi.
gantic land monopolies.

Iron County register., 1886-05-13

the doctrine that the Senate has a con-
current jurisdiction in removals as well
as in appointments, although held by O
minority, is as old as the Constitution
The fourth point is that in 1879 Dem
ocra tic Senate through its Committee
on the Judiciary believed in the exist
ence of its right of concurrent jurisdic-
tion in regard to removals. The fifth
point is that Republican President in
1879 acknowledged the Senate's right
of concurrent jurisdiction in regard to
removals. The sixth point is a result
ant from the fifth, viz: That in 1879 q
Republican President and Democrat
ic Senate were heartily agreed in re-
gard to the fact that the Senate had
concurrent jurisdiction in regard to re-
movals, for the President complied
with the call of the Senate.
In the last place will the three men,
hers of Mr.. Cleveland's Cabinet who
in 1879 asserted the concurrent jnris-
diction of the Senate in regard to re-
movais show when, where, and how it
has since lost that right? An examin-
alton of these points will show that T.
c. is entirely frank. In conclusion,
please accept correction. You say,
"a Republican, even T. c., is not so
frank as we could DESIRE"
