not meet until December of next year.
Long before then specie payments will
have been resumed and the currency
question will be substantially settled. In
that ca-e the inflationists and anti-re-

for when resumption is once achieved
nobody will b- crazy enough to disturb

chase the Los Feliz ranch and thus

specially wedded to our idea, and
we freely concede the right of oui
people to do in the matter as may
seem to them best. IN no event
would we wish to see this ranch, OF
any other, purchased WITHOUT sub
mitting the matter to vote OF the
citizens. At the moderate price al
which the ranch could be pur.
chased now we would regard it as
an eligible investment even from 0
speculative standpoint. After ma

THE following note from the
Alta outlines pretty thoroughly the
a5surdity of those who suppose
that the Tammany defeat in New
York city is Democratic reverse.
The Alta says:


1t is amusing to read r reported
interview with Kearney, in which
he says he defeated TammaDy
in New York-that he advised the
"bone and sinew" to unite against
Tilden and Schell, and all the
blood sucking politicians and lech-
erous office holders. Considering
that Sly Sammy was up to his
neck in the anti-Tammany fight,
and won all the municipal offices
in New York, com mencing with his
intimate friend Cooper, for Mayor,
the advice of Dennis was very
vague, aud his claim to the credit
Of defeating Tammany will have to
be put on the shelf with his threat
to make Beacon street AMI the
Back Bay of Boston run with the
blue blood Of the aristocracy in the
event of the defeat of Butler. N.

A correspondent in Nature says
Wanting to Danish mice from pantry !
placed on the floor at night a slice Of
bread spread over with butter, in which
I had mixed threepenny packet of
" Battles Vermin Killer which contains
about grain OF strychnia along with
flour and Prussian blue. The following
morning wss reused by servant, telling
me that favorite skye-terrier was lying
dead. found that the mice had drag
ged the slice of bread underneath the
locked door, and that the dog had thus
got ut it and eaten part equal 10 about
one sixth of grain of strychnia; it lay
on its side perfectly rigid; an occasional
tetanic spasm showed that life was not
quite extinct. Having notes of the ex-
perimcnts made by direction of the Brit.
ish Medical Association last year on the
antsgonism Of medicines, and wherein it
was proved that fatal dose of stry CHINA
couldbe neutralized' by afatal dose
of ehloral hydrate, and that the minimum
fatal dose of the latter for a rabbit was
twenty-one grains, at once injected under
the dog's skin forty-6ve grains of the
chloral in solution, my dog being about
twice the weight Of rabbit. In quar-
ter OF an hour, fancying the dog was
dead, as the spasms had ceased and it lay
apparently ]ifelcss, moved it with my
foot, when it at once struggled to its feet
and shortly after staggered t. its usual
corner by the parlor fire; it took some
milk, and except for being quieter than
usuel, seemed nothing the worse for the
ordeal It has passed through. That the
fatal effects of poisonous dose of stryh-
MIA was thus counteracted so successfully
by what I say was poisonous dose
Of chloral, given hypodermically, is an
interesting fact verifying the experiments
alluded to. Without such experiments
on the lower animals, . medical man
might often be found standing by help
less to aid his fellow man under similar
effects of poison.

The London papers publish an account
Of what is known as the Walker substitute
for coal in the generation of steam for
locomotives or marine engines. This
plan, it appears, covers an arrangement
by which air is converted into hydro-car-
bon gas Of great heating power, and is
then stored in chamber subjected to con-
siderable pressure. From this 1t is forced
cut again through apipe, to the perforated
tubes, from which combustion takes place
in the furnace and by burning hydro
carbon with the gas---in a gaseous or
much divided state, without the adjunct
of external heat to gasify or divide them.
The heavy oils, in this divided or gasitied
state, burn over the CRATE in conjunction,
as thus explained, is regarded as one Of
extreme simplicity, and the practical ar
rangements are said to be equally so in
surfing certainty of operation, and in
fact, reducing the question of preference,
to one of cost and convenience merely
The comparison for storage room and
economy, in this case, is shown in the
following data, namely: that if the calori-
fic power of coal per pound be estimated
at 5000 calorific units, then that of liquid
hydro-carbon per pound must be taken
at $4,000 units, which gives an advan-
tage, weight for weight, OF 62a in heating
power, to liquid hydro-carbOn, compar-
ed with coal. Again, in the combustion
of coal, as carried cut in the usual COLI
struction of boilers and fire CRATES, only a
very small proportion of the heat theoreti-
cally evolved can be made use OF while by
the use of burning gas and hydro-carbon
in gaseous form, close home to the heat
ing furnaces, it is claimed that much
greater percentage Of useful evaporation
is secured.

'While Dr. Kennedy has proved himself an excellent physician, and discovered the most valuable medicine ever offered to an afflicted public, it must not be forgotten that he de- servedly stands second to none in this country as a surgeon"

 For instance, we would cite the case of MT, Abram Ellsworth, of Port Ewen, Ulster Co.,, N. Y., who had suffered for more than TWEEN TY years from the pain incident to .as. disease involving the greater portion of the left thigh bone, and during all this time he had been kept in blissful ignorance by the many doctors who had treated him of the real cause of his suffering He often expressed to the author of this article that he had not experienced the pleasure of one whole nights sleep in twenty years. Although cripple, and suffering pain and the inconvenience O carrying an almost useless limb, he has acquired competency far beyond what most of men would have done under similar circumstances. Mr. Ellsworth was induced to consult Dr. Kennedy, who at once realized the situation, and plainly and frankly told the sufferer that the disease had so far advanced toward the body that nothing was left for him to do but submit to amputa- l ton of the leg. Consequently, on the 18th of May, 1871, in presence of, and by the assis. tance of several medical gentlemen, Dr. Ken. nedy amputated the leg, about three inches be low the hip joint The hone was found to be perfectly rotten from one end to the other, and thus proved the correctness of Dr. Kennedy's diagnosis Mr. Ellsworth made rapid recov cry, and remains to this day the perfect pic ture of health s s@.-~e

 Dr. Kennedy does not hesitate to say that the happy result of this and other cases of 6 similar character was due to the use of the Favorite Remedy. It was this medicine that purified the Blood. It was this that regulated the Liver and Kidneys, and thus gave tone and strength, to the system which had become debilitated by the disease, and in this way pre-

 venting return of the disease which necessi tated so dangerous an operation.
