THE DEMOCRATIC NORTHWEST THURDsAY DECEMBER 81 1855
IneIden, of the FraneO-Prus.lan War.

Incident Of the franco-Prussian War.
We breakfasted on bit Of chocolate
cake and a sip of wine and a rank and
rough cigar, and after a tOilsome march,
broken by the chance that the telegraph
wagons happened TO be going our way a
few miles, we reached Gore some min
utes after 10 o'clock, and saw French
man hanging by the neck beside a well,
his breast torn by rifle shots-a CHASTITY
spectacle, to warn the people that they
must not pollute the water to prevent
the German soldiery from drinking it.
We pushed on, shade sickened by an
object SO repulsive. A beautiful bronze
figure of an angel, the signal of the
establishment of benevolent sisterhood,
appeared above low trees on the right.
There was q remote rattle of musketry
in the same direction, and occasionally
the grumbling, beyond wooded hills, Of
cannon.-Murat Halstead in The Cen

HINTS ABOUT BUTCHERING.-If the
hogs to be slaughtered are fed within
twelve hours of their killing, the food
is wasted, the meat will be more dis.
posed to sour, and it will be more diff
cult to remove the distendcd intestines
and take from them the lard. Nor is il
well to allow the swine to drink on the
morning of the day they are killed.
Hogs cannot be killed too quickly. The
more rapidly they are killed and the
blood out of them the better. A well
directed blow on the head, between
and just in front of the ears, will make
the animal unconscious; but the chances
of misstroke are so many, and as the
stroke makes unfit for use considerable
meat, this method of killing cannot be
recommended. The use of shot gun
is no better. The rifle is the weapon tn
use-a ball on the line from the base OF
the ear to the opposite eye produces in.
slant death and does not cause the waste
of any meat.

An exchange: Any man who thinks
that he would be seriously missed by
his community, if he should die or
move away, is hugging great big illu-
sion probably. Very few men are miss
ed by anybody but their nearest friends.
The wheels of business and politics and
social life keep going round just the
same when one after another drops out
of the game. No man is so big as to be
necessary to his town or his county or
his State. There is always some one tn
fill a vacant place.

A lady residing on Baker-st. received
letter from her sister, who is a nurse
in Michigan hospital, where diph-
iberia is now raging. She was advised
to burn the letter, but this she did not
do. The following day one of her chill
dren was taken sick with sore throat,
and died two days afterward. Two
children have since been taken i'll, and
little hope is entertained for their re-
covery.- Toledo Ne,0s.

A Table of Nutriment.

A pint of white beans, weighing one
pound, and costing Z cents, contains as
much nutriment as three pounds and a
half of roast beef, costing 87i cents. Of all
the articles that can be eaten, the cheapest
are bread, butter, molasses, beans and
rice. A pound of corn meal goes as far
as pound of -four. If corn and wheat
were ground, and the whole product,
bran and all, were made into bread, 10
per cent. of nutriment would be saved,
with much greater healthfulness.-

Republican organs have been making
futile effort to explain away the cause
of the Democratic gains in Ohio last
election.
But explain as they may the gains
remain, and stand as menace to the
Republican supremacy 80 characteristic
of the State for the past several years.
II the Republican party, with all the
influence of Presidential year, the
Doodle and other persuasive influence,
cannot bridge up the majority to 90, 900,
where are they going TO be in an off
year when their party, from the leaders
to rank and file, are quarreling over
the division of the spoils.
Democratic success is becoming ap-
parent. The people are becoming edu-
Gated to the issues and the spoil hunt
ers will receive strong rebuke next

Cleveland Press: The horrible i'm
passahle condition of nine-tenths of the
county roads in Northern Ohio ought
to lead to some measures of general i'm
provement. Every winter the condi-
tion of affairs is the same, but beyond
some momentary kicking nothing is
done. 1t is impossible for farmers to
reach town and equally impossible for
town people to get out. Such general
misery ought to cause an united move

A WARNING.

The modes of deaths approach are
various, and statistics show conclusively
that more persons die from diseases of
the Throat and Lungs than any other
1t is probable that everyone, without ex-
ception, receives vast numbers of Tuber-
Gle Germs into the system and where
these germs fall upon suitable soil they
start into life and develop, at first slowly
as is shown by slight tickling sensa
ton in the throat and if allowed TO con-
inue their ravages they extend to the
ungs producing Consumption and to the
Aead, causing Catarrh Now all this Is
dangerous and II allowed TO proceed will
In time cause death. At the onset you
must act with promptness; allowing cold
to go without attention is dangerous and
may lose you your life. AS soon as you
feel that something is wrong with your
Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, obtain a. bot
tie of Boschee's German Syrup. 1t will
tive you Immediate relief.

Lime water is one Of the most useful
articles to have in the house in case of

let ii stand quiet. In few hours the lime
will settle to the bottom, except what is
dissolved in the clear water above it, and
this walter will nearly always be Of uni
form strength. When used down SO it
cannot be poured of without stirring the
bottom, add more water, shake the bottle.
cork it we'll, and let it again settle for use.
Once year or so make up new lot as at
first. Lime the size of an egg viii be
enough for good many quarts Of lime

tie the contest of the railroad against the

which is now under advisement before
Judge Stone, who is not expected to give
his decision for couple of weeks. The
basis proposed was acceptable 10 Mr. Pc
terson, and he said last night he would
recommend his colleagues to accept 1t
at their meeting next Tuesday, at Prince
Frederick. Ii tits approved, the railroad
company will enter their suit against the
county as settled The road is entitled to
$137. 4S0 from the state, in part payments,
as the grading progresses by sections of
five miles, TO be paid upon requisition
of the commissioners upon the state
treasurer, who is to pay the money on the
warrant of the state comptroller. Thus
far the railroad has spent in engineering
expenses about $4,000, and in grading.

understood that the proposition agreed
upon is to pay part of the county bonds
when the grading is half done. another
part when it is finished, portion when
the ties are laid, and the balance when
the rails are laid.
Mr.. nj. G. Mengiss, contractor of the
Drum Point Railroad, stated yesterday
that he would put to work Immediately a

fPUBLIsHED BY REouEsT
There Is an unseen battlefield
In every human breast.
Where two opposing forces meet,
But where they seldom rest.
That field is yelled from mortal sight,
IT'S only seen by One,
Who knows alone where victory lies
When each days fight IL done.
One army clusters strong and fierce,
Their chief of demon form:
His brow is like the thunder cloud.
His voice the bursting storm.
His captains, Pride and Lust and Hate,
Whose troops watch night and day,
Swift TO detect the weakest point,
And thirsting for the fray.
Contending with this mighty force
l. but little band
Yet there, with an unquailing front,
Those warriors firmly stand.
Their leader is God like form.
OF countenance serene.
And glowing on his naked breast
A simple cross is seen.
Ills captains. Faith and Hope and Love,
Point 10 that wondrous sign,
And gazing on 1t all receive
Strength from source divine.
They feel 1t speaks glorious truth,
A truth as great as sure,
That to be victors they must learn
To love, confide, endure.
That faith sublime, in widest strife,
Imparts holy calm;
For every deadly blow shield,
For every wound balm.
And when they win that battlefield.
Past toll is quite forgot;
That plain where carnage once had
reigned
Becomes hallowed spot.
A spot where flowers OF joy and peace
Spriug from the fertile sod,
And breathe the perfume of their praise
On every breeze to God.
