PREVENTION OF BADNESS.

Some of the B5ethoGs for Avoidance
Rather than Cure,
One should watch for the first symptoms
OF badness, and endeavor to check it by
judicious means.
As dyspepsia is prevailing cause, that
! must be removed. If constipation be n
trouble, legitimate means must be adopred
OF bringing the alimentary canal into good
working order. Fruit should form a part
of the diet, winter and summer; the cold
bath should be taken daily, with now and
then 4 course of tonics. If debility be
present, the bitter vegetable tonics, syrup
OF the phosphates, and cod-liver oil will do
much good. In the debility of young men,
associated with nervousness, small doses of
the bromide of potassium may be taken
three times day for a month, in coniunc-
ton with the syrup. Sea-air and sea-bath-
ing do good
The bedroom and living-rooms gener-
ally should be extra well ventilated; the
mattress should be a hard one, and no
more clothing worn by day or night than
is absolutely necessary.
The scalp must be kept very clean.
Washing the hair once q fortnight. using
yolk of an egg instead of soap, and not
drying too roughly, will be most advan-
tageous. Afterwards a simple poinade
may be used sparingly.
a good hard hair-brush should be used
daily, TO thoroughly stimulate the scalp.
The following is useful application to
be used night and morning: Take of
tincture Of cantharides two ounces, dis
titled vinegar two and half ounces of
spirits of rosemary the same quantity, and
fill up to pint with elder-fower water.
Cutting the hair short does little or no
good, as badness is distinctly constitu-
tional ailment The head should never be
covered in the house, and just as seldom as
possible out of DOORS
A light, well ventilated hat is the best
head dress, 4 close-ftting cap the worst.
Does any one, l wonder, wear nightcap
in this nineteenth century? If So let him
burn it; if he values the health of his hair
and head he will Next to the folly of
drinking nightcaps GENES that of wearing
them. Verbum sap.
Actual badness is not invariably ire
mediabie, but as rule it is The same
treatment will prove beneficial, but even
stronger stimulants may be needed, and
before they are applied the scalp should be
| fomented with warm water
When hair begins to grow frequent
shaving does good But on the whole, as
regards badness, prevention is better than
cure.-CasselPs Family Magazine.

Filibustering Tactics Prevent Vote on
the Contested Case.

Filibustering Tactics Prevent a Vote on
the Contested Case.
Copyright, 1883, blythe California associated Pres
WASHINGTON, January 20th.-It was ex-
pected when the House met this morning
that the Carlisle and Thoebe contested cleo
ton case would be settled before adjourn
ment. The Democratic members of the
committee had determined TO leave to
Crisp, Chairman of the Election Commit
tee, the presentation of Carlisle's case, and
not take any part in the debate. Speeches
in abundance were anticipated from the
Republican side of the House, but nothing
that would materially delay the final de-
cision. Mr.. Crisp commenced the discus
sion, and members from both sides of the
chamber having made up their minds as to
how they would vote, paid little attention
to his argument. After the Chairman of
the Election Committee had concluded,
Lyman of Mississippi, Taylor of Ohio,
Lodge OF Massachusetts, and Thoebe. Car
lisles contestant made speeches which
aroused the attention ofthe House, Houck
of Tennessee, who appeared to be especially
enthusiastic, took part in the beginning of
the debate.
Mr. Lodge, who is member of the Ex-
ecutive Committee, contended that the affi-
davits presented by both parties to the
contest were ex parte, and not calculated to
give the House fair and intelligent idea Of
the issues in controversy. He said that if
the committee i'll the first instance had
decided not to take any further advance
than that originally presented he should
have voted for Carlisle, but those having
been opened to receive atfidavits respecting
fraud and collusion, he believed it the duty
of tie House to probe the matter to the
bottom.
During the debate scarcely any of the
members left the House, and when the
motion was put to appoint a select commit
tee to take evidence in the case it was
defeated by a vote of only 132 to 127 On
motion to declare Carlisle elected to the
seat the Republicans tilibustered and the
question went over until tomorrow.

Budding Oranges on Lime Stock

EDS. RECORD UNION In your issue of
January 14th appears the following
while down in Los Angeles recently, J. f.
Madden picked up pointer on orange
growing from Wad- Ell Ward, the celebrated
lecturer, who says that in Palestine they
first bud the orange on lime stock, and then
bud back on orange stock. In that way
they escape all pests, as no one ever saw
the scale on lime trees"
Permit me to say to all readers of the
REcoRD-UNIoN, and others contemplating
the culture of oranges and other citrus
fruits, that the fewer pointers" they "pick
up" like the above, from hyphenated lee
turers from the Holy Land the better it
will be for the success of their future enter
prises in this direction. ANY pomologist
here can point out to Mr.. Madden, Wad- El-
Ward, or any other person plenty of lime
trees ruined by the white and red scale,
d l am sure Mr.. Lelong, Secretary of the
State Board of Horticulture will fully cor
roborate my statement Besides, budding
as he suggests, would make the orange
much more susceptible 10 the cold and cli-
matte changes for all our semi-tropieal cit
rus trees. The lime is the most tender and
liable to damage from frosts. To all our
Northern Citrus Belt brethren contem-
plating orange culture | would say, bud on
the hardest acclimated seeding orange
stock you can find, then see to it that the
scale insect secures no lodgment in the or
chard, or If so promptly burn up every in
feeted tree where it stands, and the insect
with il, but don't you bud orange on lime
or lemon, for the scale loves them all with
love exceeding that of woman.

THE GRAHAM MURDER.
More Testimony Which Seriously Com
promises Cora Lee.

SPRISeFIELD (Mo.), January 2oth.-In
the second trial of Cora Lee, for completely
in the Sarah Graham murder, today,
Charley Graham testified regarding what
he saw between Cora Lee and Graham at
Elgin, Ill. At Washington, Kas., Graham
was manager of paper known as the
Morning and Day Of Reform, and Cora
worked in the office. His mother Sarah
Graham) managed the household. He had
seen Graham and Cora in bed together after
Sarah had gone down stairs in the morn
ing. He saw Mrs. Melloy in bed with Gra-
ham twice. He saw all three in bed to-
gether at Malloy's farm. The witness then
told at some length about going to Spring
.field, and mentioned that Cora asked if his
mother had come with him. When the
body was found Cora went to the well, but
did not want the children to go. He saw
Cora and Eta Malloy burning letters writ
ten by Cora to Graham.
On cross-examination the witness said
that when he and Roy were at the Malloy
farm, Graham told them to say they last
saw their mother in st. Louis He also told
them she was really in Pierce: that he
owned half the Malloy farm, and that as
soon as he could, at all, he would send for
her and send for Cora and Mrs. Malloy. He
also told witness of meeting Sarah in
Springfield, and when asked why the latter
and Roy were not taken to see her. said he
did not know she was going to be there.
Other witnesses testified as to suspicious
actions of Cora before and after the murder.

THE PREACHERS DAUGHTER.
How Pretty Brunette Won Skating



New YORK. January 19th.-Quite a SEN
sation was created yesterday at Prospect
Park lake, Brooklyn, by party of six
young ladies from swell seminary and as
many gentlemen from q business college
near the City Hall. 1t was nothing less
than n skating match between the ladies,
whose escorts acted as hackers and coach
ers. Each gentleman put $40 on his girl
winning. A course was marked out and a
fair start effected. The ladies were all from
high-toned families on the Heights, one of
them living within a stone's-throw of
George l. Seney's palatial residence. Two
are daughters of a prominent Brooklyn
divine, whose sermons SAVIOR of anti-Gance,
etc.
The race was for five miles, and, not
strange to relate, the keepers never seemed
to see what was going on. The racers at
first seemed bashful when the crowd
cheered, but after the first few laps they
swung along like professionals. At the
end of two miles only three competitors
were left. Four miles and half found
only two. These were the preachers
daughters. They kept at it with a will to
the finish. The elder sister was the win
ner by few yards. She is a handsome
brunette, whose brother is a noted amateur
runner. She made five miles inside of
twenty-five minutes.
The stakes, $50, were handed, over, but
she insisted that the money be spent for a
dinner. The hackers aud contestants with
the skates under their arms, repaired to the
Fulton, street Restaurant and made things
lively for q couple of hours. Last night
the Story leaked out, and the good folks on
the Heights are agitated beyond expression.

Settlers and a sherifi's Posse Meet with
Fatal Results.

Fatal Results.
SAN DIEGO, January 20th.-A telegram
was received at the Office of the California
Southern Railroad yesterday afternoon at 4
o'clock which gives the first reliable report
of an attray which occurred at 0ceanside
Wednesday afternoon. A rancher in MCosa
canyon, named J. a. Jones, went East a
year ago on business. During his absence
a family named Goen, widow with two
sons and a daughter, took possession of his
ranch, cabin and furniture. On Jones' re-
turn he instituted legal proceedings 10 eject
the parties. His title to the prOpertr was
confirmed, and on Wednesday, the 18th
inst, with Sheriff Breedlove and Deputy
Freeman and two citizens he went to take
possession.
The whole family of Goen faced the Off
GERS of the law with revolvers. Mr.. Breed
love snatched the revolver from Mrs Goen,
who was at the door. She seized gun and
shot him in the face In the melee which
followed citizen Reed was fatally wounded
by Percy Goen. The married daughter of
Mrs. oen was accidentally shot in the
neck by her brother, and fell dead. Free
man was severely stunned by blow on
the head. Percy Goen IS shot through the
head and arm fatally. His sister and
brother were dead when the officers re-
treated with their wounded, and Mrs. Goen
still holds the fort, declaring that she will
not leave the place alive.
No later reports have been received from
the ranch, but it is supposed that the sole
survivor of the family has cared for, if she
has not already buried the victims of the
tragedy. People living in the vicinity are
said to be tough lot of citizens, and Jones
is especially spoken of as desperate char
acter.
The county officials seem to know moth
ing of the cause, and, as usual, the Coroner
is conspicuous by his absence and useless
ness. He was last night repeatedly asked,
and again at o'clock this morning. to
meet the District Attorney at the Court
house at once so that action could be taken
in the matter, but at 3 P. M he was still ab-
sent. In all probability he will leave for
Oceanside on this evenings train and hold
an inquest at the scene of the tragedy to-
night
