Miss MOlIie Dinsmore, of Seymour, Ind.
Narrowly Escapes Strangulation.
SEYMOUR, Ind.-Miss Mollie Dinsmore,
aged Is years. popular and sprightly
school mistress, dismissed her pupils for
afternoon recess and sat down in the
school-room door to witness their sport.
Suddenly shrill alarm sounded from the
playground, and the valiant school-ma'a am
rushed to the rescue. When she reached
her retreating flock she was Mortified to
see very large black snake bring up the
rear of the column. Armed only with a
parasol, she made vigorous defense,
but the enraged reptile held its Wn, and,
taking advantage of sudden turn of
Miss Mollle to answer the call of one of
her pupils, it ran up her back, and in less
time than the story can be told 1t had en-
twined its shining coils around her neck
so tightly that but for the timely assist
ance of a young gentlemen who was
passing and promptly responded to the
frightened calls of the little ones she
would have strangled. The brave young
lady was prostrated by her fright and
the nervous shock, from which she has
suffered severely. The snake, when
killed, measured over four feet in length.
1t was black racer, variety that Is
usually considered harmless, and this is
the first instance in which one of its kind
has been known here to attack any
person.

The HOUSEHOLD.
FNDIyE Oh CHICoRY SALAD.

ENDIyE Oh CHICoRY SALAD.
Wash two heads of endive or chicory
well freed from the outside leaves; shake
| them thoroughly and cut them up. In a
| salad bowl put one tablespoonful of Tar
ragon vinegar, half teaspoonfuI of salt
and saitspoonful of black pepper. Mix
thoroughly and then gradually add three
tablespoonfuls of olive oil. Pear up the
mixture till the ingredients are thorough
~ amalgamated, then put in the endive
and serve.
RELIEF FOR TooTRACHF.
Spirits of inter mixed with alum and
applied to the cavity of the tooth affected
with toothache will usually relieve the
pain, even though the nerve is exposed.
1t Is best applied on a little cotton. If
the pain extends upwards to the eye, or
takes the form of neuralgia, procure some
horseradish leaves, take out the stems,
wet them, and apply on the face over the
seat of the pain. This will generally give
relief.
TO KILL MOSQUITOES.
Take lump of gum camphor about
one-third the size of an egg, place it in a
tin or iron vessel, and, in the room, hold
1t over the fame of lamp or gas, or
scatter it on the Goals. When fused re-
move it and the fumes will permeate the
room. If this be done an hour before re-
firing in the closed bed room, the win
dows can at bedtime be opened if neces-
sary, and the mosquitoes will not return.
CURE FOR FREoKLEs.
Horseradish grated into a cup of cold
sour milk-let it stand twelve hours, then
strain and apply two or three times a
day-will, it is said, remove freckIes from
hands or face in short time. Or, one
ounce of lemon juice mixed with quar-
ter Of drachm of pulverized borax and
half drachm of sugar, will also remove
them. Keep the lotion in a glass bottle,
corked tightly, a few days before using,
and apply to the freckles occasionally, and
they will soon be removed.
NATIONALIST SAUCE.
Twelve yelks of eggs, half pint
best salad oil, half pint of milk or cream,
half pint of vinegar, little salt, mus
tard, cayenne and WORCESTERSHIRE sauce.
Put the yelks of the eggs into stewpan,
gradually add the oil first (whisk quickly
while adding all the ingredients, to pre-
vent curdling), then the cream or milk,
and then the vinegar; place the stewpan
on small fire, and continue whiskeng
until the mixture becomes thick and
nearly boiling; be sure not to let it quite
boil: or it will curdle; put it into wide
mouthed bottles, we'll corked, and it will
keep any length of time, the salt, m u.s.
tard, ETC., should be first added to the
yelks.

WASHINGTON, January 9.-The for
nal announcement OF Secretary Lamar :
retirement from The Cabinet caused
much gossip about the Capitol to-day,
but the surprise was greater when II
was learned that the Senate judiciary
committee, by strict party vote. has
decided 10 make IN adverse report "H
his nomination for AS ocate Justice. 1t
WIS generally cunccdrd that !; minority
OF the committee would oppose him. but
he. as we'll as many OF his Senatorial
friends, supposed that ut least one Re-
publican member of the committee
Evarts-wnuld decline 10 be bound by
party ties. The friends Of Mr.. Lamar in
the Srnate are nevertheless quite conf
dent that he will eventually ne confirm
ed. as he will receive the solid Demo-
cratic vote and problhly three or Eore
uElicarS-Sawyrr, Steward and Rid
dlebcrSrr. This. OF course, will secure
his confirmation. Certain Republicans
who are leading the ol'pu> ion have pro-
posed diiat0ry methods and are urging
the majority TO hold the nomination in
committee throughout the pr, sent Srs-
sion. Th"rc are Republican Scnators
who are conscientious in their oppo>i-
ton, and have openly declared that they
propose to vote against him. hut they
are in favor of allowing the nomination
TO come up III executive session and
there dispose OF it finally, without any
further or unnecessary delay.

= There seems to he opposition on the
part of the republicans of the Senate
to the confirmation of Mr.. Lamar as
an Associate Justice Of the Supreme
Court. Mr.. Lamar has resigned his
position in the Cabinet, and the judi
ciary committee Of the Senate, by a
strict party vote, has decided to make
an adverse report on the nomination.
We cannot see what the republican
party hope to gain by trying to defeat
the appointment of Mr.. Lamar. Moth
ing can be argued against his fitness
for the place except he was confede-
rate soldier, and that cry is too old to
avail much even with the republicans.
He has put down his sword and en-
tered the Union, and service in the
confederacy is no longer a bar to fede-
raj appointments. And the republican
party can gain nothing by making a
fight on that line.

stitution Argues that cur banking sys-
tenn should be changed SO that land
would be good security and could be
taken as such by our national banks.
1t says, "If the land is not good secu-
rity for loan Of money III this coun-
try, then there is no hope for the
farmer. The government says 1T is
not, and permits its favorite financial
system to boycott land and land own
ers. This has been going on for twenty
five wears when there was no excuse
for it.
There is 10 effort to remedy the
wrong, and consequently everybody
wants to oppress the farmer. The
farmers can call halt if they will"
There is much truth in these observa-
tions, but what the farmer most needs
is to run his business on cash basis.
1t is quite true that the rate of interest
he pays when he buys his supplies on
a credit is so large that no merchant
or other business man would think Of
paving it.
In order to make farming profitable
there must he less buying on a credit,
it matters very little what the system
may be. But sometimes 1t Is necessary
for the farmer as we'll as other business
men, to get advances, either III sup
plies or money, in order to run his
business, and if his property happens
to be in land we do not see Why it
should not be taken for its true value
as collateral security as we'll as bonds
and stock or property Of other de-
scription.
Not only this, but when it thus be-
comes necessary to make loans he
should see to it that he pays a rate of
interest that is reasc ,able and one that
he is able to pay, otherwise he had
best not make the loan. No man can
borrow money to run his business and
pay larger per cent for the use Of it
than he can make out Of the business,
and farming is no exception.
What the farmer most needs is less
buying on a credit, and by proper man
arement make his business profitable;
for nearly every farmer, if he will, can
raise his supplies at home.

THE THREE C'S.

Col. r. A. Johnson, the general
manager of the Three Cs railroad,
accompanied by several officers of the
Of inspection of the whole line. They
company, has recently made a tour
were in Augusta on Monday and were
interviewed by the Augusta Chrontcle
which says, 1.-THE general scope Of the
investigations of these gentlemen is to
examine into the agricultural and in
dustrial resources of the territory
through which the road is to rum"
1t seems to US that this examination
ought to have been made before the
line was located. But it seems they
were highly pleased with the country
and its resources, and the work of con-
struction will be rapidly pushed. The
Chronicle further says, ''Fron what
can be learned it is not at all unlikely
that the projectors Of the road will get
all the money they want. 1t is the
current report that an English syndi-
cate will furnish very large proper
tioa of the capital required, and, that
the future of the road being now an
assured fact, ali that will be necessary
to get unlimited capital will be to ask
for it."
Of course the party was very favora-
bly, impressed with Augusta.
Of our division of the Three G's very
little is said, but what there is of it is
very assuring. The Chronicle interview
on this point is as follows:
"Col. Johnson, being asked how the
work Of construction was progressing
OF his road, replied:
LAS rapidly as the prudent use of
money will permit. Everything is
working along as smoothly as we could
wish, and it will not be very long De-
fore the three C's is in successful ope-
ration"
"How about the Augusta divi-
sion ~"
I've begin the middle ofnext month
to perfect the grading and finishing up
of the work of construction on the
Augusta division.'
We would like to see work COM
menced on our end of this line. When
it was reported some time ago that
money had been deposited in Bank in
Augusta TO pay the debts OF the old
company, We felt like work would not
be long delayed, but as Yet we have
heard of nothing being done.

was worked by three different tenants,
