The news came last evening from
Austin that the credentials committee
of the judiciary convention at Austin
had reported to exclude both delega-

con testing for this cOunty's represen-

Onions Are a Cholara.fugc.

During the last epidemic Of cholera in
Eagland it puzzled the sanitary inspect.
ors of northern town to understand
Why the inhabitants of one cottage in a
certain row were not affected by the dis
case which was raging among their neigh
bors. Finally it became noticed that
net of onions was suspended in the for
hnate house, and on examination these
were all found to be diseased. It is also
related that during a former outbreak of
infectious fever in Somers Town and St.
Giles's, the French priests, who con-
stantly used garlic in all their dishes,
visited the worst cases in the dirtiest
novels with impunity, while the English
clergy who were similarly engaged, but
who did not eat onions in like fashion,
caught the infection in many instances,
and fell victims to the disease. Raw
onions contain an acrid volatile oil, sui
phur, phosphorus, alkaline earthly salts,
starch and free, uncrystallized sugar.
The fresh juice is colorless, but by ex.
posurc to the air becomes reI.-Loadoa

Little pigs are also great at com.
bined play, which generally takes the.
form Of RAGS. Emulation seems to
form part Of their amusement, for
their races seem always to have the
winning Of the first PLACE for their
object, and are quite different from
those combined rlshcs for food, or
cau>eieos stampcdeS in which little
pigs are wont to indulge. Racing is /
an amusement natural to some ami
mails, and, being soon taught by others,
becomes one OF their most exciting

Many horses, and all racing dogs,
learn to lie as keen at winning as

is all the difference possible between
