An effectual remedy for smallpox is said
to have been recently found by surgeon OF
the British army in China. The mode of
treatment is as follows: When the preced-
ing fever is at its height, and Just before the
eruption appears, the chest is rubbed with
croton oil and tartaric ointment. This causes
the whole of the eruption to appear on that
part of the body, to the relief of the rest. 1t
also secures q full and complete eruption.
and thus prevents the disease from attacking
the internal organs. This is now the estab-
lished mode of treatment in the English army
in China, and is regarded as perfect cure.

IAN Indian Correspondent writes to Naturel


There is popular belief that it is danger
ous to sleep in full moonshine, as it is sup
posed TO produce some injurious effect called
moon-stroke. A clear sky admits of rapid
radiation, and any person exposed to such
radiation is sure to be chilled by rapid loss of
heat. There is reason to believe that under
the circumstances paralysis of one side of
the face is sometimes likely to occur from
chill, as one side of the face is more likely
to be exposed to rapid radiation and conse-
quent loss of its heat. This chill is more
likely to OCCUR when the sky is perfectly clear
and in full moon. have often slept in the
open air in India on clear summer night
when there was no moon, and although the
first part of the night may have been hot,
yet towards 9 or o'clock in the morning
the chill has been SO great that have often
been awakened by an ache in my forehead,
which as often have counteracted by wrap
ping a handkerchief around my head and
drawing the blanket over my face. AS the
chill is likely to be the greatest on very
clear night, and the clearest nights are likely
to be those on which there is bright moon
shine, it is very possible that neuralgia, pa
ralysis, or some other similar injury, caused
by sleeping in the open, has been attributed
to the moon, when the proximate cause may
really have been the chill.

THE Vicksburg Herald calls for an

luton will be introduced to ask the
president why troops are quartered in
Mississippi in a time of profound
peace. There are troops at Vicksburg,
Port Gibson, jackson, Summit and
Holly Springs. Why are they here =?
There is no more use for them here
than there is for them in the most
peaceable county in any Northern
State. Peace reigns supreme, the Leg
islature is in session, the constitution,
the reconstruction acts, and the laws
are fully respected, and the people are

of life, yet these soldiers are quartered
amongst us under no orders whatever.

that he wrote back to his superior Off
Ger to know if he had not mistaken his
instructions in going to Port Gibson.
Yet the soldiers still remain there, and
in other portions of the State. What
they are here for, and how long they
are to be kept here, are questions that
should be at once satisfactorily answer
ed to Congress by the executive. Ifthey

ence the presidential election, the soon

Almost every man and boy thinks

(Juglans nigrd) is hardly ever treated
right, and is when rightly preserved
one OF the best OF all nuts. 1t is com


monty left too long IN the hull after it
is ripe. Sometimes it Is allowed to
lie for long time on the ground in
its thick moist hull till the kernel goes
through a kind of change that makes
it lot only unpalatabble, but unhealthy


Hence great many persons have an


idea that this nut is strong and hard to


digest. But it should be gathered i'm


mediately after it is ripe, and not


allowed to remain in the hull. 1t


should not even be allowed to remain


on the tree till it falls itself, but as


soon as the kernel Is ripe take it off


and dry it quick and it is very differ
ent nut from what is commonly found.
The kernel is white and delicious, no


strong fat taste, and has delicate
flavor that is hardly surprised by any
nut. And then when thus treated
there was little cracks in the hard


shell that make it easy to crack out
the kernel. These little cracks are
formed by the sudden drying.


There are great differences in differ


ent trees as to the size and quality of
fruit. There is a tree near Duncan's

bears fruit of uncommon size and
quality. We have thought it worthy,
