-Four of Gen. Legitime's War ships Bonn
bard an Insurgent Stronghold.
On the morning OF Dec. 5 four OF Legl-
times men, Of war bombarded Cape Hayti.
The gunboats dropped anchor four or five
miles of the shore. lying broadside to the
town, and fired blank cartridges TO give
notice Of their warlike intentions. The
70: ciga Consuls in the city petitioned for
time TO get out OF the city. AMI we're given
thirty-siA hours. The people fled into at.e
hills. taking all the possessions they could
conveniently carry. loading their effects
on the backs of mules. and as the sup
ply OF pack-mules was limited to fifty or
sixty. fabulous prices were paid for their
use. The bamboo huts succumbed easily
to the shots from the boats: but the stone
buildings In the central and more elevated
portion of the town were not so easily de-
stroyed. the heavy walls resisting the ire
for several hours. Despite tho warning
they had received many Of the residents
clung to their habitations. In fact. it was
impossible to remove many Of the sick in
the city within the time allotted by Legitime.

Some Simple Remedies.

When stung by q lee or a wasp,
make paste of common Garth and
water, put on the place at once and
cover with cloth.
For O cold on the chest, q flannel rag
wrung out in boiling water and
sprinkled with turpentine, laid on the
chest, gives the greatest relief.
When a felon first begins to make
its appearance, take a lemon, cut off
one end, put the finger in, and the
longer it is kept there the better.
Often after cooking meal a person
will feel tired and have no appetite; for
this beat raw egg until light, stir in
o little milk and sugar, and season
with nutmeg. Drink half on hour be-
fore eating.
For burn or scald, make paste Of
common baking foda and water, apply
at once and cover with linen cloth.
When the skin is broken, apply the
white of an egg with feather; this
gives instant relief, as it keeps the air
from the flesh.
At the first signs of ring round, take
q cupful of wood ashes, put in q pan
with quart of cold water, put the pan
on the stove, put your finger in the
pan, keep it there until the water be-
gins to boil, or as long as it can be
borne. Repeat once or twice II nee
essary.
