GOOD WORD FOR ONIONS.
They Cure Typhoid Fever, Pneuonia,
and Dropsy.

Mr.. John r. Cox, citizen of Balti-
more, publishes the following commu-
nication in the Baltimore American,
of that city:
"Sometime since a gentleman in
formed me that he knew of several
persons who had been cured of
typhoid fever, by the application Of
mashed raw onions to the feet. Two
patients were not expected to live over
few hours. Six large onions were
pounded to pulp and applied to the
feet Of the first patient. He was
relieved in short time and got
we'll. The second case was q few
weeks later and the result was equally
satisfactory. The first opportunity /
had tried it upon colored boy
during one of my visits to the house Of
reformation for colored children.
He was very i'll with typhoid fever. I
named the matter to General Horn,
who Immediately ordered the applica-
tion. In few hours he got to sleep !;
rested we'll and recovered. The next
opportunity was that Of a son of a
friend of mine in our city. I called to
see him on business when he informed
me his son was very i'll with typhoid
pneumonia. He had been delirious
for a week or more, and required
constant watching for fear he might
do himself harm. / advised him to
try the onions. He did so and thus
speaks of it; Immediately on it's
application he began to improve and
continued until he finally recovered" !"
Perhaps they might be efficacious in
other forms. The remedy is simple
and safe, and q trial in any case can
do no harm. They have cured
dropsy. Mr.. Ralph Brunt, very
respectable, reliable gentleman,
informed me that his wife had
suffered for long time with dropsy.
She was swelled from her head to
her feet. She was attended by
different physicians, who finally said i:
Mr.. Brunt we can do no more; your
wife cannot live. We can give
temporary relief by tapping her.
His wife declined the operation, as it
would but prolong her sufferings. At
this time his attention was called to
a paragraph in newspaper in which
a gentleman made the statement
that he had been cured of dropsy by
eating onions. His physicians had
told him that he could not live.
One day he wanted to eat some raw
onions and did 80. After eating them
he felt better and tried some more.
He then made it rule to eat six day,
and in a few weeks he was well.
He felt it his duty to publish it for
the benefit of others. Thus Mr.. Brunt
knew of it. He called the attention of
his wife to it. She was willing to
try it; did so, and at the end of the
week discharged her nurse, attended
to her household duties, and was
so reduced in size that her friends
could scarcely recognize her at first
sight. She lived for more than 80
years afterward, and died some years
ago over so years of age. If
foregoing proves the means of
benetitting anyone, the only regret I
will feel will be that I did not attend
to the promptings of duty sooner"

Big Newspapers and Pure Newspa

Big Newspapers and Pure NeWspa.
There are signs that the day of the
extravagantly big newspaper is pass
ing away. That these signs may not
prove delusive, is to be sincerely de-
sired. We never see one Of the big dali
lies of from twenty-four to fifty pages
without a feeling of disgust. The
most of the matter that these pages
contain is the purest drivel, unworthy
of moments notice, and much of it
is q sort of moral sewage, defiling
everything with which it comes in
contact. That it should have readers
enough to warrant its publication, is
serious reflection upon the intelligence
of the age. In the good time coming
the papers will be edited with the
most thorough and conscientious care;
and every paragraph in them will
represent sifted news or rational
discussion. The religious journals
ought to lead the way in this move
ment. They should seek to see, not
which can be the biggest, but which
can be the best.

FULTON'S FIRST TRIP.
The First Passenger That Rode on
His Boat.

There was one little incident in
Robert Fulton's life about which few
people know, and which never forgot.
1t took place shortly before the re-
turn trip Of bis famous boats voyage
by stream up the Hudson river. At
the time all Albany focked to the
wharf to see the strange craft, but 80
timorous were they that few cared to
board her. One gentleman, however,
not only boarded her, but sought out
Fulton whom he found in the cabin,
and the following conversation took
place:
"This is Mr.. Fulton, I presume"
"Yes, sir"
"Do you return to New York with
1--WE shall try to get back, sir"
Have you you an! any % objection to my re-
"If you wish to take your chances
with us, sir, I have no objection"
"What is the fare?"
After moments hesitation Fulton
replied, "Six dollars" And when
that amount was laid in his hand, he
gazed at it long time, and two big
tears rolled down his cheeks. Turn
ing to the passenger he said: "Ex-
cuse me, sir, but this is the first pecun-
iary reward I have received for all my
exertion in adapting steam to naviga-
ton. I would gladly commemorate
the occasion with little dinner, but
I am too poor now even for that. II
we meet again I trust it will not be
the case." As history relates, the
voyage terminated successfully. Four
years later Fulton was sitting in the
cabin of the "Clermont," then called
the "North River" "when gentleman
entered. Fulton glanced at him, and
then sprang up and gladly shook his
hand. 1t was his first passenger; and
over q pleasant little dinner Fulton
entertained his guest with the history
of his success and ended with saying
that the first actual recognition of his
usefulness to his fellow men was the
six dollars paid to him by his first
passenger.

No Matter What Prices are Quoted You We'll Always Be Lower
COHEN DRY GOODS co.

It lies upon the minister Of Christ
to care for the souls of his people from
house to house to spare no pains that
divine service be beautiful add rever-
ent; to afford to the young every
useful means of religious culture; to
move his congregation unto such good
works as lie to their bands; but 1t
is we'll for him to remember that
the most critical and influential event
in the religious work Is the sermon.
History bears unanimous testimony
on this point. When the evangel
ceased or fell into contempt, the
Church grew weak and corrupt.
When the evangel asserted its
ancient authority, the Church arose
and put on her "beautiful garments" 1"
No power in human experience has
wrought such mighty works as the
spoken word it has beaten down
impiety, taught Righteousness, given
freedom to the oppressed, and Great
ed nations. No one can exaggerate
the opportunity given to the preacher
when, on the morning Of the first day
of the week, lie ascends the pulpit and
faces the people who are gathered in
the name of Jesus, and wait to hear
what he has to say to them concern.
ing the things which are unseen
and eternal. Each man carries his
own burden of unbelief, sorrow,
temptation, care, into the house of God,
and the preacher has to harken to
them all for, indeed, the work Of the
pulpit in our day is not 80 much
to teach as to stimulate and encourage.
That minister who receives body
of people more or less cast down and
wearied in the great battle of the soul
and sends them forth full Of good
cheer and enthusiasm, has done bis
work and deserved we'll of the
people.

PEA VINE HAY.

The Way to Save 1t Fresh and Sweet.
For the benefit of amatur farmers,
send formula for a simple and sure
way of curing pea vines for hay.
1t was given to me by q practical
South Carolinian. By it I cured over
80 tons last year and have some three
tons now, fresh and sweet as when
drawn to the barn. Leaves on and
color green.
Cut after the dew is Of; let it lie
until next day. After the dew is off
rake into rows, and put into very
small heaps; let them remain until
next day. After the dew is off, turn
heaps over with hay rake; let them re-
main until next day. After the dew
is off, haul into the barn. Put in
to the barn in layers Of two feet and
sprinkle sault upon each layer, as you
would sow oats or any grain. Not less
than three quarts of sault, nor more
than four to one ton of vines
