Said to be Sure Cure for Smallpox

1ssss w w ouAS SuAS
A correspondent OF the Stockton
(Cal) Herald speaks us follows con.
cerning the smallpox and its remedy
l herewith append ii recipe which has
been used, to my knowledge, in hun
dreds of cases. 1t will prevent or cure
the smallpox, though the pittings are
filling. When Jenner discovered cow.
pox in England, the world of science
hurled an avalanche of fame upon his
head, but when the most scientific
school of medicine in the world-that
of Paris-published this recipe as a
panacea for smallpox, it passed un.
needed. 1t is as unfailing as fate, and
conquers in every instance. 1t is
harmless when taken by well person.
1t will also cure scarlet fever. Here is
the recipe as l have used it, and cured
my children of scarlet fever, here it is
rs have used it to cure the smallpox.
When learned physicians said the pa
tient must die it has cured: Sulphate
OF zinc, one grain; foxglove (digitalis)
one grain; half teaspoonful of sugar
Mix with two teaspoonfuls of water
when thoroughly mixed, add four
ounces of water. Take teaspoonful
every hour Either disease will disap-
pear in II hours. For a child, small.
er doses, according to age. If counties
would compel physicians to Use this,
there would be no need of pest houses,
If you value advice and experience
Use this for that terrible disease.

DON'T talk about the Democrats
never being in power again, for in
1872 Greeley carried but half doz,
en- or SO States, the Senate and House
of Representatives were Republican,
and within four years the face of af-
fairs was entirely changed and Samuel
Tilden was elected-or to satisfy our
Republican readers, received at least
a heavy majority of popular vote
While there is life there is hope, and
the principles of the Democratic party
are as undying as the memory of the
American Revolutionary War.-Wel-
come.

A FISH of the sturgeon variety
about eighteen inches in length, was
recently given to the Superintendent
of all ice factory in Parkersburg,
West Virginia. 1t was placed in one
of the ice moulds and frozen in the
center of a huge cake of ice. This
block of ice was put in a public place,
where the citizens could view the fish,
frozen in the center of the cake. The
ice began to melt and it dwindled until
the body of the fish was exposed to
the air, while the head was still firmly
imbedded in the ice. The tail of The
fish was seen to move slightly as the
sun poured its rays upon it. Atten-
ton being called to the fact, the head
was carefully released from its icy
prison and the sturgeon placed in a
tank of water. 1t recovered COM
pletely in few minutes, and was ap-
parently as sound as ever.

EDWARD P. Wallace, the man to

bond after the beginning of the Re-
bellion was elected Tuesday for Pro-

Mich. He didn't enlist, but instead
sent the government all the money
he had-$1OO--as apresent, and, as Un-

shortly after, was sent to Mr.. Wallace.
He is the only man in the country not

DR.. Ernst Weissenbacher, professo

DIR. Ernst Weissenbacher, professor
of geology at Heidelberg University
Germany, tells an alarming tale OF
impending disaster to the town OF
Findlay, Ohio. He has been making
a scientific investigation of the natural
gas wells which underlie the town,
and finds that at a depth of about L.
200 feet there is an enormous cavern
filled With highly infiamEable gas un-
der tremendous pressure. Below this
are several strata rocks, perhaps mile
in thickness, and beneath the rocks is
fire raging at temperature of near,
ly $500 deg. F. From the tremendous
cracking, which the learned professor
distinctly heard by the help of dele
cate sound instrument, he Judges that
disintegration is going on with great
rapidity, and regards an early catas-
trophe as not Only possible but proba-

JUDGE Thurman closed the cam.

and review of his work makes an
interesting showing. 1t is eleven
weeks since he started out, and during
that time he has travelled nearly 54,-
600 miles. He has made eighty-nine
speeches of all kinds, sixty-five of them
being from the rear platform of the
train, which the judge called his /" NOV.

600 people face to face, while through
the medium of the Associated Press he
has reached hundreds of thousands
more. In view of the near approach
OF the judges 10Th birthday this is a
remarkable record, especially SO since
he is really in better condition than
when he started out on the campaign
In all his travels the Judge has beer

SOUTHERN INyENrIoNs-There wer.

SOUTHERN INvENTIONs.-There were
1892 patents issued last year, and OF
these but 1883 were granted to South
erners. Texas led the Southern States,
patent being granted to every 6,OO6
Texans. Florida came next. Missis.

was sufficient to stamp it as South
ern assault upon Northern prosperity
Perhaps if the Mills bill had borne the
name of Mr.. Scott of Pennsylvania il
might have become more popular il
the North.
1t would be good plan to humol
this prejudice in the next Democratic
Congress. If Colonel Morrison were
sent back to the House and made the
Chairman of the Committee on Ways
and Means, the sensitive Northern
heart might not be so easily fired as il
has been this year. He introduced
tariff reform bills in 1884 and 1886
and on neither occasion did the De.
mocracy suffer at the polls.
There will he material changes in
the distribution OF the electoral votes
before the next Presidential election.
The new census will make consider
able shifting OF power, rather to the
advantage of the Democracy, and the
admission of new States will help the
Republicans. The Dakotas, Washing
ton, Wyoming and Idaho will be Re
publican, and Arizona, Montana and
New Mexico probably Democratic.
Rhode Island will take her place by
Connecticut as doubtful State, if not
as certainly Democratic one. The
admission OF hitherto disfranchised ma
turalized citizens to the suffrage will
easily overcome the small Repub-
lican majority she cast last Tuesday.
The Democratic party has every
reason to look to the future with con-
fidence. The monopolist, pouring a
days wages of one of his men into his
wine glass and betting the savings of
a dozen toiling lifetimes on Il horse
race, has convinced his human ma
chimes that he is amassing wealth for
their benefit. But the pretense can
not be kept up. Before long labor
will demand a share of the plumber
that is said to be collected for its sake,
and then there will be an explosion.
A policy that is built on lies cannot
endure.
The Democratic party is right, and
sooner or later right will win.

A MAN won wager in Washington
a few days ago by lighting his cigar by
the aid of a lump of ice. He took a
piece of clear ice, about an inch thick
from the water cooler, whitfield it into
the shape Of disk, and with the
palms Of his hands melted its two
sides convex, thus giving it the form
of double convex lens or burning
glass. With it he foscued the suns
rays on the end of his cigar, thus
lighting it.

solid mountain of ore, containing
enough mineral wealth to pay the en-

Republican Manners.
Seattle Press, Nov. ..

Ex-Governor Watson c. Squire wa
selected to preside at the Republican
meeting held last night at Armor,
Hall. An informal nomination wa
made by the Marshal of the evening
General Trusten P. Dyer, and the uni
formed Republicans unanimously sec
Onded it. The selection was a mos
apprOpOs one from the standpoint O
the Republican leaders. Gov. Squire
is one of the wheel-horses OF the Re
publican party. No man stands high
er in its councils. No mans views
harmonic more completely with it'
doctrines. He is living embodiment
of Republicanism-good or bad.
Upon assuming the chair, the Cover
nor began to deliver q brief address
This is customary at all public gather
ings, the length of the chairman's ad
dress depending entirely upon the mo-
ment of the occasion. He, therefore
violated no custom nor propriety
Scarcely, however, had this able ex.
ponent of Republican principles ut.
tered half dozen words when the en-.
tire Republican audience broke forth
into wild cries for Allen. The chair.
man hesitated moment, and then at.
tempted to renew his address. But
these gently-bred Republicans would
have none of it, and at length he sat
down.
1t was an act which shocked all
sense of propriety. 1t was an act fol
which there can he found no excuse
" But" some one exclaims, this dem,
onstration of disrespect was meant as
a mark of disapproval of the declara.
ton of martial law issued by him while
Governor. Granted. But the un-
popularity of that act was we'll known
prior to his selection as chairman OF
the meeting. The discovery certainly
could not have dawned ON the audi
ence at the moment the Governor be-
gan speaking.
No. As touchstone of the temper
OF the people on the question of Chi.
nese labor, the selection was a most
admirable one. Had this meeting
been held at an earlier date, the exper.
iment might have proved a costly one.
The action of this Republican audience
was complete qualification of the ut.
terances of the Republican papers OF
this city. 1t clearly disproves the as
sertion that the Chinese labor ques.
tion is ga dead ISSUE"

A COUNTRY WITHOUT WOMEN. -
There is only one territory Of any size
and never has been but one, occupied
by any considerable population from
which women are absolu tely excluded.
Yet such place exists to-day, and has
existed for centuries. As far back as
history reaches, TO all females it has
been forbidden ground. This bache-
lor's Acadia is situated on plateau be-
tween the old peninsula of Acte in
the Grecian Archipelago, and the main
land. Here, in the midst of cultivated
fields and extensive woodlands, dwells
monastic confederation of Greek
Christians, with % converts, and num-
bering more than 1000 souls, and not
one of the monasteries dates from a
later time than the 18th century. A
few soldiers guard the borders of this
anti-female land, and no woman is al
lowed to cross the frentier. Nor is
this all; the rule is extended to every
female creature, and from time inn
memorial no COW, mare, hen, duck or
goose has been permitted to make ac-
quaintance with this territory.
