The most frequent imprudence in the
harvest field is the constant drinking of
cold water fresh from the we'll or spring
in copious draughts. This induces ex-
cessive perspiration, which in its turn
produces excessive thirst, and the result
is serious weakening of the nervous
system. Life, even without labor, be-
comes burden when every pore gives
out a stream. The salts of the blood
are rapidly washed in the flood of per
spiration, and tho system is depleted of
that which it can spare the least. This
can be obviated by simply avoiding ex-
cessivo drinking. A man may ride upon
n reaper or follow it binding for ten
hours without needing to drink more
than twice, if he will simply determine
to do so. We have done this repeatedly
without drinking, except at meal times.
1t is well to avoid the use of tobacco
while in the field, and by all means no
drop Of spirituous liquor should pass
the lips of n harvest laborer in our eli
mate while he is in the field. If one
must drink, cold coffee or tea without
sugar or milk is the best. This can be
drank when moderately warm without
nausea when water cannot. Hot tea or
coffee after dinner is both cooling and
refreshing. hG leaSG TWO nOufS rest
should be taken Mt noon, and from half
past eleven until half-past one is the
best interval. When the body is heated
by labor it is perfectly safe to cool it by
pouring cold water upon the wrists, by
which the temperature of the blood is
slowly lowered; but it is not safe to cool
the body by sudden exposure to cool
air in a shady barn or q cellar. Such n
course would be the greatest imprudence,
and almost certain to result in disaster


To cool off slowly is safe, and if one
should expose himself to cool draughts
he should put on extra clothing and
walk about meanwhile. At night, after
the work is done, and before retiring to
rest, the whole body should be bathed
i'll water slightly tepid, or ut least rs
warm as the air, and pure soap, and then
briskly rubbed dry with coarse towel.
This will bring comfortable and restful
sleep. Then clean undergarment
for the night should be put on, and the
dayworn garments placed to air and dry
ready for the next day. Cleanliness Of
person is one of the best preservatives
of health and productive of the greatest
comfort i'll the harvest season.

DR.. Luton, of Rheims, states that for
the last four years he has treated typhoid
by an absolute water diet. Nothing
but good fresh filtered water, occasion
ally iced, is permitted to be taken. At
first, he says, it is taken with avidity,
then in moderation, and ut last with
signs of safety; it is sometimes vomited
ut first, but is soon tolerated; OF the be-
ginning Of the treatment the bowels
may be little relaxed, but they soon
become moderate and less offensive, and
after time constipation may ensue.
The duration of this treatment depends
upon the progress of the disease; that
is, between four and five days of water
exclusively may b required, if the
fever be treated as whole, but three
or four days suffice if only the intestinal
element of the disease be considered.
A light alimentation may then be allow
ed--milk, unboiled, may be mixed with
the water and given by spoonfuls, and If
well supported for time, to be followed
by broth and soup. Under this treatment
the mortality is very low, no evil results
ensue, and serious complications, inclu-
ding visceral congestions and bed cores
at once disappear.

A young lady in Virginia writes the
New York Ledger long, confiding let
ter, expressive of deep anxiety springing
from source which is not only rational
in itself, but which must be applicable
to many cases besides her own. She is
in love and is engaged to be married.
Her suitor desires that the marriage
should take place the coming autumn.
She has no we'll grounded objection to
this except one: She is afraid her future
husband will be disappointed when he
finds out how little she knows about
housekeeping "and" she sensibly
adds, elf think he is dissatisfied, OF
course that will blight my happiness.
There is nothing" she continues, " to
prevent our being married at any time,
with this exception"


We think this is an obstacle of q very
serious character, and, as against an i'm
mediate marriage, Insufficient. No young
woman ought to get married until she
understands every department of house
keeping. And there is no excuse for
any one not understanding housekeeping
in all its branches. The only thing in
the way of learning is Incidence for
one opportunity or another can always
be found or made.


The advice we give to our correspon-
dent is appropriate to all other young
ladies similarly situated. 1t is to learn
all about housekeeping as soon as posi-
BILE. 1t is a kind of knowledge of which
every one may we'll be proud. There is
no art in which woman can be more USE
full.


Nor is it to be looked upon as a mere
ly humdrum, matter of fact business, by
any means. Far from it. There is good
nature, amiability, generosity in q good
we'll ordered house.


We would say to every engaged young
lady: If you wish to retain the love and
admiration of your future husband, one
important step toward it is to excel in
housekeeping.

The New York World says that Demo-
crat hates fraud, peculation and corruption as
the devil hates holy water. The hate, then,
of his Satanic Majesty for holy water cannot
be very deep. If his aversion to that fluid is
no greater than that shown by many Demo-
Gratis in Office to corrupt practices, he can bear
to be sprinkled with it every day. Let us see:


Two Democratic Councilmen of Baltimore
expelled for accepting bribes of $50 and 800.
And their plea was that, although guilty, they
were but pursuing the common practice of
Councilmen in that Democratic city.


Eight Democratic officials in Cincinnati in
dicted for fraud and corrupt management Of
the City Water Works, and the Mayor i'm
plicated in borrowing the city funds to pay
the expenses of his election,


Three or more Democratic members of the
Ohio Legislature exposed in selling their votes
upon certain pending bills for one hundred
dollars apiecel


The Democratic State Treasurer of Georgia
defaulter in a sum nearly approaching a
million!


Eight Democratic county treasurers in Ohio
proved to be defaulters in large amounts =
And Tweed in Jail, unable to find bail in suits
against him for stealing six millions from the
city of New York, with the World defending
him while the stealing process was going on! /!


Democratic Canal Superintendent McRae
indicted in New York for corruption in office!


The whole canal system of New YORK un-
der Democratic control, denounced by Gov.
Tilden as rotten to the core, tainted all over
with fraud, and the center of a complete sys-
TEN of stealing hundreds of thousands from
the State annually!


A fraudulent claim of $4,000 in which a
Democratic member of the New York House
of Representatives was interested, was point
ed out by Gov. Tilden in his message upon
canal frauds, and an item in the appropriation
bill to pay this fraudulent claim was signed
and approved by Governor Tilden who at first
denounced It,


Truly, the hatred of this party to fraud,

How do inflationists VINO are clam
orlng for an increase of paper currency,
account for the fact that banks and
capitalists are burdened with surplus
of cash on hand, and are loaning free
ly at rates ranging from two-and-a-half
to five per cent. per annum? If busi-
ness has become dull and depression
general for the want of an increas of
money, will Mr.. Infationist explain
why those who need more money do
not go into the market and supply
their necessities, while it can be done
at lower rates than ever before in the
history of the country? In other words,
cannot every business man in the coun-
try obtain just as much capital as his
business requires, provided he has the
necessary securities to offer? And if he
has not this indispensable requisite,
how else does he expect to obtain the
use of other peoples money, even if

was engaged to young farmer, and
had nothing happened would have
been married on last Friday evening.
The time for the marriage arrived, SO
did the bridegroom and invited guests,
but, strange, no bride appeared. Her
parents, supposing she was in her room,
went to the door to warn her that the
time for the performance OF the cere-
mony had arrived, when they found
the room empty. 1t was early evening
and not yet dusk, so they walked to
the window to endeavor to discover
the truant. The horror may be i'm
agined when they saw, rapidly disap-
pearing through the timber on the
creek bank, man carrying in his arms
the form of Il young girl, which, from
the dress, they Immediately recognized
as that Of their daughter. In an instant
the alarm was given, and the whole
party, well armed, started in pursuit.
Within few minutes they were with
in gunshot of the fugitive, but were
unable to use their weapons in conse-
quence of his shielding his body with
the loved form of the bride elect. The
young lover was almost frantic, and in
his frenzy appeared to have gained the
fleetness of the antelope, overtaking
the almost breathless abductOr, ne
seized him, and after briet struggle
wrested the girl from him, at the same
time discovering that the abductor was
a Cheyenne Indian who had been
around the neighborhOod for a year or
two. At the same time that the farmer
regained his sweetheart, the savage,
with an eel-like wriggle, escaped from
his hold and started on keen run
down the creek. The pursuers, how
ever, were too much for him, and one
of their number brought him to the
ground by means of well-aimed bullet
from needle-gun. 1t twas soon ascer-
tanned that the red man was only
wounded in the thigh. He was then
taken prisoner and lodged in neigh
boring bug-Out, from which, by some
means, he escaped during the night,
carrying the needle-gun iball in his
thigh, and has not since been heard of,
although diligent search has been
been made by the friends of the young

nitely postponed in consequence of an
attack of brain fever, the result Of the
fright she received.

Merely to make shifting of greenbacks FOL


the notes of the national banks, is a shiftlesS


measure. 1t will not make dollar more to


propel business with, nor puts dollar into any,


body's pocket. The loss in the taxes levied


on the banks because of the privilege OF CIR
culation, will, to large extent, offset what
could be reduced in interest by buying in the
bonds; and all of 1t would be spent years in
advance by the high premium which would
have to be paid for the bonds in greenbacks.
The rate is now from 120 to 122, and ia such
an operation would go much higher.


There Is no relief to people oppressed by
want of circulating medium in this shift
There is no increase of money to propel trade;
nothing to lift prices and start speculation;
nothing to make two blades Of grass grow
where but one grew before; nothing to put
money in anybody's pocket without work !;
nothing to make money more easy to borrow,
but, on the contrary, the shift would extin-
guish a great brood of local loan institutions,
and would tend to centralize money in the
East. What shall we say of these dema-
gogues who cry the oppression of the people
for want of money, and then only offer them
a swapping of one kind of paper for another
of the same value?


If more money is the thing, let them offer
that, and let it be not stinted by a niggardly
hand. If, with 800 millions, we are oppressed
for want Of the circulating medium, why not
offer US a thousand millions more of green
backs? Why tell US our sore need, and then
divert us with little joker shifting of one
kind of notes for another? And why stop at
1000 millions more? Why not start with
1000? If 1000 will start business, why not
have 1000, and send it booming? Can there
be too much of this motive power of pros
perity?


If the party which declares the need of
more paper money meant to carry its doctrin
into practice, and to give us as much as bust
ness will take, they would not stop to fiddle
with swapping one kind of bills for another
kind. Their proposing this indicates their
intention to divert the people without giving
them more money. If they meant to do this,
and set the printing presses going al the rate
which will carry out their doctrine, the little
amount of the circulation of the banks might
be left to take care for itself. It would be
mere bagatelle to the whole volume Of money
under such dispensation.-Cin. Gaz.

1t seems that a well-to-do settler near

toms. After lying in an apparently hope
less state for some days, he suddenly took
turn for the better, and made rapid re-
covery. Not long after he had returned
to business, he was much startled, on
opening an account presented at his Office,
to find himself charged with full set of

They came near having domestic trag-
edy in Council Bluffs, Iowa, few night
ago. A citizen of that place, being called
out of town by urgent business, bid tear
full and tender farewell TO his wife and babe
and started out. His mission was accom-
plished sooner than he anticipated, and
taking the evening train he arrived home
at about midnight. Going to his house
he quietly let himself in with latch key
and silently went up stairs. The gas was
burning low. but there was light enough
for him to distinguish two forms in bed,
where, according to his logic, but one
should be. Though half-crazed by the
sight, some remnants of GOODNESS remain
ed, and he withdrew to secure witness to
substantiate the statements he would be
compelled to make. After weary search
he found a policeman, and returning to
the house, stationed him at the foot Of the
bed. A motion of his finger and the gas
blazed at full head. and there, in the place
where he only of all men had Alright to be,
the agonized husband saw his mother-in-
law
