The reader will find the lnsido pages of
this paper unusually interesting and at
tractive to-day.
Our sympathiesaro tendered the propri
etors of the Hawkinsville News in the loss
of their office and fixtures by fire, on last
Wednesday morning.
President Arthur and party spent Thurs
day ami Friday in Savannah. They were
hospitably entertained by tiie good citi
zens of tiro “Forest City.”
The greatest victory the best man who
over lived has achieved, in the battle of
life, was when he said, openly and honestly,
I have done wrong, and ask forgiveness.
It is a duty every good citizen owes him
self and the State to cast a ballot, to-day,
for H. D. McDaniel for Governor. Cer
tainly every democrat should go to the
polls and uphold the Hag of Ids party.
Dr. A. W. Calhoun of Atlanta was chosen
president of the Medical Association of
Georgia at the recent convention at Ath
ens. Tiie next convention will be held at
Macon on the 3d Wednesday in April, 1884.
Gov. Boynton Issued ou the 18lh inst., a
fifty-thousand dollar bond of 50 years, to
tiie Trustees of the State University on the
Brown donation. Attorney General Clif
ford Anderson • advised the issue. Gen.
Toombs protested.
Princess Louise camo near being burned
up in her house at Bermuda, and lately her
estimable spouse applied for police protec
tion in Boston. It used to bo fun to bo a
scion of royalty, but now it is actually im
aginatively risky.
The new “Married Woman’s Property
-Vet” in England encourages a woman to
lend money to anybody except her hus
band. It enables her to sue him and to be
witness against him. It also renders her
liable to maintain both her husband and
her children.
Hawkinsville lias suffered from another
disastrous lire, cu the morning or the
19th inst, about 1 o’clock, by which eight
business houses were destroyed. Esti
mated loss about $30,000. Partial insur
ance, except two firms. Supposed to have
been incendiary.
There is a gentleman in Hancock who
says that he is to die on the first day ol
May next.—Ishmaelite.
Oh don’t dla then. The picnic parties
will be iu convention on that very day,
and it would be too utterly unfortunate
to have death and doughnuts-run anil
funeral—come so close together.
As soon as a young man and young
woman are engaged in Norway, no matter
in what rank of life, betrothal rings are
exchanged. The rings are worn ever af
terward by the men as well as the women.
The consequence is that one can always
tell a married, or at least an engaged man
in Norway.
Dr. Orr, in a s[>eecii before the Baptist
convention which met at Griffin last week,
said:
“Of two things theipoliticians may take
note; First, that it will bo popular to ad
vocate education for all the children of
Georgia. Second, the liquor traffic is
doomed, and they had better feet ou the
prohibition platform."
We have been taught to liate Wendell
Phillips, one of the pioneers of abolition
ism, but. the followlnfe will go far towards
reconciliation;
“Wendell Phillips’ wile has been an inva
lid tor over thirty years, and during all
'this time tiie great orator has been untir
ing in Ills attention to her. "No one but
you i:au know wtiat It has been to care for
her,” was remarked to him recently. “Ah !
No ono but me knows how good she is,”
was Iti^ heartsome answer.
The attractive advertisement of Talbott
and Sons, manufacturers of Englnts, Boil
ers, Saw Mills Ac., with headquarters at
Richmond, Va„ and Macon, Ga., will be
read with interest by farmers and machin
ists here and elsewhere. Ail persons in
terested in machinery and agricultural im
plements will do well to send to Macon for
a catalogue and price list. A close inspec
tion of their advertisement in another col
umn will put the reader in possession of
tiie ways and means to obtain the neces
sary information to direct them.

The Atlanta Evening Star thus alludes
to one of the old democratic panel or Geor
gia:
Hon. David J. Bailey, one of the most
learned men of our times, is still in Atlan
ta. Col. Bailey was a member of Con
gress in 1851, having defeated Hon. At>-
salom H. Chappell, the latter a Whig. At
the next election, still a Demi>crat, ho de
feated Hon. Robert Trippe for Congress,
and retired from public life in 185G. Col
onel Bailey is a gentleman of the old
school, and though his whited locks in
dicate old ago, lie is still vigorous and as
erect as an Indian of the forest. Georgia
holds few more gifted men than he, and
it is a wonder that he has been so long in
retirement.
Strikes.—What Is the meaning of the
strikes that arc constantly taking place
in the manufacturing establishments all
over the North if tiie protective tariff is
doing such wonderful things for them as
the protectionists are so porsistantly de
claring. Why the terrible scenes at
Springfield, Illinois, recently where that
guns, pistols and rifles were used and one
or two were killed and several others were
badly wounded. The strikers want better
pay, for clothing, living and everything is
so high they cannot live on their wages.
Wo think it is time for the Protectionists
tojjxplam those matters to the satisfaction
of the people, or stop bragging or the great
blessing their policy bestows upon the
operatives.
The fatal first ballot that caused the loss
of so much money was the result not of
the Constitution's table, but from Burke
and Hancock voting ten votes for Bacon,
when both had been instructed to vote dif
ferently—Burke for Hon. J. J. Jones and
Hancock for Hon. H. D. McDaniel. That
was what upset the table and turned some
men’s pockets wrong side oat.— Union f
Recorder.
Or course it wasn't the result of the Con-
stitution’s table. It grew out of Hie fact
that Bacon had more supporters than
Boynton iu the convention. The Hancock
delegates were not instructed to vote for
McDaniel. They were known to be Bacon
men and a resolution, strongly indorsing
his candidacy, was passed. Col. Jones
was not a candidate and the Burke dele
gates were Instructed for Bacon, in the
event the name of the former was Dot be
fore the convention. It is strange that
our contemporary should charge the up
setting of the Constitution’s table to a vio
lation of instructions by the Burke ami
Hancock delegates when the table in ques
tion gave those delegates to Baeon ! Too
thin, old gentleman, too thin .’—Telegraph
A Messenger.
Tho writer did not see the proceedings
of the Hancock meeting as published, and
was guided by a remark of a Hancock
man to the effect that the oounty was for
McDaniel, almost solid. But let It be as
our friend Lewis of the Telegraph and.Mes-
senger says, and the case is not altered.
The six votes of Burke county were sa
credly pledged to be cast for Hon. J. J.
Jones by a public meeting, and every man
outside of Burke county believed they
would bo so cast. Had they been given
to Mr. Jones instead of to Mr. Bacon, the
vote on the first ballot would have stood t
Boynton, 139 7-15; Bacon, 139 2-15; McDan
iel, 3611-15; Cook 14 1-3; Jones 6. Thus
Boynton would have got the highest vote
on the first ballot. Thus It will be seen that
had the result been this way, those who
bet on Boynton leading Bacon on the first
ballot would have won.
PROGRESS OF THE RIVAL PARTIES.
The people, since the war, have been
gradually and constantly growing sicker
of the follies and vices of the Republican
party. We want our readers to notice
that we seldom deal In glittering generali
ties. We rather think we can do that up
to the hub, if we try, but the times are
too serious for that. So that, as a general
rule, we now overthrow the romantic and
picturesque in style, and come down to
plain and honest statements of facts. Well,
let us see whether the statement we make
in the first sentence above, is true or not.
How will we arrive at the truth about it?
We know of no better plan than to go to
tiie polls to sustain the declaration.
In 18G4, the Republican vote for Presi
dent, was 2,21G,067; the Democratic vote
was 1,808,725—Republican majority 407,342.
Iu 1SGS, Republican 3,015,071; Democratic
2,7o9,liI3.—Republican majority 305,458.
Thus it will be seen the Republican major
ity was reduced 101,884.
In 187G, the Republican vote was 4,284,205,
the Democratic vote 4,508,447. Instead of
a Republican majority, the Democratic
majority was 224,182. We do not profess
perfect accuracy iu this last statement.
We saw the Republican vole put at 4,284,-
205. We knew that the Democratic vote
for Mr. Tilden was a K-w votes less than a
quarter of a million more than the vote
given to Mr. Hayes, anil hence put it at
tiie above figures.
In 1880, Mr. Garfield’s vote was 4,449,053;
Gen. Hancock’s, 4,442,035, only 7,018 votes
less than Mr. Garfield’s. But General
Weaver, tiie Greenback candidate, receiv
ed 307,30C votes. Mr. Garfield was there
fore elected by a plurality vote. It was
well known that the Greenbackers were
more favorable to the Democrats than to
the Keputilieans. Doubtless General Han
cock would have been elected if General
Weaver had not been a candidate. We
have no doubt, whatever, that he would
have succeeded over both, if he had not
been too partial to tho Tariff Protection
ists. He was a native of Pennsylvania, a
Strong protective tariff state, and proba
bly hoped liis native State would sustain
him. Now, during all those long years the
Democrats were gaining upon the Repub
lican protectionists. We ask then, what
sense is thero in tho cry or some of our
Democratic protectionists, that opposition
to protection will defeat tho Democratic
party in 1S84? If wo wished to destroy the
chances of Democratic success in 1884,
we could devise no better scheme to effect
it, than to mislead the Democrats in
to tho support of the Republican high pro
tective doctrine. Let common sense have
fair play.
THE TRIALS IN IRELAND.
•Too Brady was found guilty and sen
tenced lobe hanged on tho 14th of May.
Curley, who was tried next, was also con
victed by the jury, and sentenced to be
hanged on tho 18th of tiie same month.
They were convicted mainly upon testimo
ny of tiie informer, Carey. It has of
ten been said there is honor among
thieves. With more reason should there
be honor among men who have combined
together to protect their country against
their cruel oppressors. We do not justify
the acts ot men who form associations,
uuder oaths of secrecy, to rid their coun
try of tiie oppressor’s yoke, to the extent
of murdering certain parties who do every
thing in tlitir power to deprive then* of
their just rights and take from them tho
last hope or redress. Carey testified before
the court and jury, that he was one of the
prime movers in the murder of Mr. Burke,
but said he w as under compulsion. Pressed
to tiie wail by Brady's counsel, lie finally
admitted, that he was not under compul
sion w hen lie pointed out Mr. Burke to file
assassins and urged tiie murderers to re
member Unit the man clad in a gray suit
was Mr. Ruike. It was shown that he
was in tho cab that contained the men, that
lie w as the lirst man to suggest that dag
gers be used, and that lie afterwards sug
gested that those daggers, with which
tiie crime was committed, should be put
on exhibition as national relics. It was no
Wonder therefore, that Brady’s counsel
should denounce him as the murderer, as
tiie man whoso hands wore steeped in
blood. Who could believe such a villain
upon bis oath? If he was the prime mover
in the murder, if lie placed his deadly
eye upon his victim aud doomed hint to tiie
sacrifice, the illusive pretence of a patri
otic net in defence of his down trodden
country, is dissolved in his baseness as an
in former against ills friends and accom
plices. lie sneaks into the presence of the
officials, in violation of ids oath of secrecy,
and after obtaining a promise of pardon
for himself and brother, betrays them to
the vengeful minions of tiie oppressor.
Wo maintain that no liiglitoned civilized
government had the right to convict l.ra-
ily aud Curley upon the testimony of such
a scoundrel. He violated Ids oath of secro-
sy in the first place. He swore to a lie
when he said he was acting under compul
sion, anil had to admit it before tho court
and jury. What confidence can be putin
the testimony of Kavanah, who swore, in
the preliminary investigation, that he
drove Delaney to the scene of murder with
Carey and, at tiie trial, said, he had made
a mistake that it was Smith and not De
laney. There was no haste, nothing at the
lirst investigation to prevent his having a
peiTeet consciousness of tho parties in the
cab. He saw them get in and lie saw them
get out. Tho world will bo apt to believe
that Carey was the head and front of tiie
assassination and that he participated in
striking the blows that destroyed the lives
of Mr. Burke and Lord Cavendish. The
spirts of his victims, shrieking upon the
night winds, and their pale forms, marked
with blood, like avengers, have followed
him. He lias trembled ever since in fear
of the hangman’s rope. But tiie deed was
done. Somebody committed it, and the
frightened and cowardly wretch lias de
vised a plan to save his own neck from the
halter. Brady and Curley affirm their in
nocence. Curley when asked if he had any
thing to say why the sentence of death
should not be pronounced upon him, said:
He lia.il not expected any mercy frcea the
Court. It was very unfortunate, he said
that the Irish Bench was never without a
Norburg.'or a Keogh. He admitted that
he was a member of the Invineibles, but
declared that he was not in Phoenix Park
on the evening when the murders were
committed. Curley said that he loved his
country and could suffer for her. He
declared that the witnesses, who had
testified for the crown, had perjured them
selves. He alsoi said ho was a Fenian.
After being sentenced as tiie officers were
taking him from the dock he cried out in a
loud voice, “God save Irelaud!" If these
bravo and faithful sons of Ireland die up
on the gibliet, on the testimony of Carey,
it will put a stain upon the namo of Eng
land that time can never efface.

THE RECORD IN A FAMOUS GUBER
NATORIAL CONTEST.
The following nows paragraph iloating
about, and brought up in tiie Evening
Graphic or Macon, of the 15th iust., affords
the writer a text for the present week un
der the familiar head at tiie top of this
article. The paragraph alluded to is this:
“In the gubernatorial convention of 1857,
when Hon. J. E. Brown won as dark horse
on the twenty-first ballot, he received ev
ery vote, except one, and that one was
east by General B. W. Heard, of Washing
ton.”
Tho Convention above alluded to, to
nominate a candidate of the Democratic
partv of Georgia assembled at Milledge
ville, in the Old Capitol, Wednesday, June
24tli, 1857. Col. Eoaiax, of Muscogee, a
Bayard, so to 8|>oak, was chosen Presi
dent of tho Convention. The gentlemen
who were voted for for Governor, were J. H-
Lumpkin, H.G. Lamar, James Gardner,
Hiram Warner, Win. H. Stiles. The first
ballot was, Lumpkin, 112, Lamar, 97,Gard
ner, 100, Warner, 53, Stiles, 35. The strug
gle was kept up with the lirst four named
candidates up to and through Die 20th
ballot, which stood, Lumpkin, 1G3, Lamar,
175, Warner, 1, H. V. Johnson, 11, Wright
of Floyd, 5, John E. Ward, 3, Jos. E. Brown,
3. After this ballot, Mr. Hull of Clarke,
moved the appointment of a committee
of three from eaeli Congressional District
to “report a mode in which this conven
tion can bo harmonious, and a nonina-
tion be made.” The Convention adjourn
ed, on Friday, 1, p. m. to 2 o’clock, p. m.
to hear from the Committee.
At 2 p. m. the Convention met. lion.
Isaiah T. Irwin of Wilkes county. Chair
man of tiie committee of 24, addressed
the Convention, and submitted “as the
action of tho Committee, tiie unanimous
selection of lion. Joseph E. Brown, of the
county of Cherokee, for Governor”. The
Convention unanimously et. iorsed the
report of the Committee of 24. If “Mr.
B. W. Heard of Washington voted alone
against tiie report of the Committee” the
records di> not show it. There was no 21st
ballot, in fact there was no ballot on which
Hon. Joseph E. Brown “won as a dark hors.”
He was the child of compromise, and was
niado tiie candidate in Committee of the
whole. These facts are taken from the
record before me, and not from memory,
or hearsay, lion. J. II. Lumpkin was
the strongest man from tho start—but
liis fair eminence made him tiie point of
attack by the friends of every other as
pirant and he fell with all his antagonists
on that memorable day.
FI BE! FIBE!! FIRE!!!
The Dutchman who shouted the above
words in tiie streets of Philadelphia, 80
years ago, and when accosted by hun
dreds of excited people with tho inquiry,
"where is tiie lire?” replied, “in mine
plpee,” was a real benefactor to the city,
because the pimple saw what might have
been, and they went at once to provide
against a calamity by lire. Well, we
haven't had a tire in Milledgeville, worth
talking about, in a groat many years.
Whothor our good fortune is owing to
luck, or the absence of any machine to
put lire out, tiiis deponent saitii not words
to that point. But, we have been woiul-
eriuliy preserved against that one ele
ment,' thank God. But Providence will
not, anil ought, not, help people who do
not help themselves. When a lire comes,
and sweeps away a block of buildings, and
our pretty trees about of them, we meet
on the corners and talk about it. Every
man is in favor ot buying a steam fire
engine, some want two and a hook and
ladder company thrown in. The ashes
are hot til n-the fire is smouldering then,
perhaps over the charred bones of a young
man who ventured In too late—and ali
agree that it is the great need of the city
to have better facilities for fighting the
fire fiend. But just as soon as the ashes
get cold—the present danger forgotten—
men tel a [iso into their old negligent ways.
The city ought b> have a first class
steam fire engine. Not alone to protect
people’s property, but to reduce the enor
mous insurance rates put upon us now.
The little city of Hawkinsville, and tho
town of Waynesboro, a mere village, have
lirst class steam fire engines, and the pres
ence of the engine and its com pan v. makes
insurance L less there than in Miliedge-
vllleon similar property. Wo are going
too slow in this matter. We are grow
ing old Fogyieh in our ways, and if we
don’t mind the moss will cover us, and
we will rot.
SUNDAY TRAINS ON RAILROADS.
The writer will find opposed to his views i
on this particular subject, many men— I
some of them good men as the world goes. I
But no man who believes in the truths !
of Scripture, or in the laws of Nature, will !
dispute our proposition, Viz; that no
railroad train of any namo or character j
can be run on the Sabbath day without j
Incurring Divine displeasure. The lan- i
guage of the bible is plain—no man can 1
mistake it. IT it applies to one man, or
one business, it applies to all. Tiie com
mandment to keep tho Sabbath day holy,
is more marked, more prominent than
any other injunction in the bible. By the
word "holy” tho writer understands the
command thus—total abstinence from all
labor. If a man was caught plowing in
his Held on the Sabbath day, he would
be reported, and the Grand Jury of the
county would take cognizance of it prompt
ly. Then why should a railroad run its
cars, and compel its employees to work
on the Sabbath day, and bo less amena
ble to public opinion and tho aims of the
law, than the man who plows his horse
or mule on the Sabbath day ? Will some
body give us a reply?

A CARD.
Messrs. Editors Union &. Recorder:
Gentlemen :—Iu summing up tiie rea
sons why we should not have a Fire En
gine, the opposition claim that we have no
water supply, or at least so small an
amount as to render an Engine of no
value. Permit me to state that the city
has eight fire wells, built expressly for the
purpose, and placed in such localities as
will render them efficient, tiie entire bus
iness portion of our city being within easy
range of three of them; tiiat is, a fire in
any portion of our city where business is
transacted, can be played upon from three
of the six, with the use of one thousand
feet of hose, which distance, to a steamer,
is nothing. These wells also protect a
large number of dwelling houses, and any
one of them when kept in older will furn
ish one half hour steady play for any
steamer. No city in Georgia has such
a supply of water as will protect every
portion of it. Macon with its aivantages
of labor, has her disadvantages, in not
having water to protect every portion of
the city; yet not one of her merchants or
property holders would say, “we have
water only in a portion of our city, some
parts being unprotected, hence our fire
department is useless, do away with it.”
We have geutlemon, an ample supply of
water to do incalculable good, by saving
much, protecting more, and by lowering
the rate or insurance on all. Any expe
rienced Fireman will tell you that our wa
ter supply is equal to any city of its size
in the South. It is the duty of tlm Chief
to look as well to the condition of liis tire
wells as to his Engine, and if such is done
the house that is burning, when our water
gives out, no department could save, and
an efficient officer ere that time would
have given his endeavors to save sur
rounding property, and husband liis sup
ply for that purpose. Respectfully,
U. X. Whilden.

Messrs. Editors Union ,V Recorder:
Gentlemen: 1 beg your indulgence for
space to present one point, for tho consid
eration ot those of our business men who
seem opposed to the purchase of a Steam
Fire Engine, for the use of our city. But
ting aside the many ottier reasons for the
purchase ot said Engine, I ask these gen-
t.eiuen to look at the Insurance which, as
one of our most enterprising merchants
said was “the best protection against lire.”
Granted that such is the case, hut should
we not do ail in our power to secure the
lowest rates possible for lirst class Insu
rance? If so, do these gentlemen not know
tiiat in every ease where Fire departments
have organized where none existed tiefore
the Insurance rates have b**eu lowered from
V* to per sent?): Such are the facts, and
the proof can easily be given if the state
ment be denied. From investigation it is
known that the amount paid by the citi
zens of MilledgevlU for Insurance yearly
is fully $5,625.10 the average rate being 1%
percent.now suppose we place the reduc
tion in rate mane by the companies at an
average of ' 4 per c*'iit. which can undoubt
edly be obtained and the saving to the
citizons per year is $1125.00,and the man who
owns most will save most, but all will save
proportionally, who insure at ail. Now an
Engine can be had fully equipped inside of
four thousand dollars and five years tie
had to pay the balance after utilizing the
old fire pump aud truck, to pay a part of
first cost. In five years the amount saved
to our citizons from Insurance alone
would be $5625,00; cost of Engine say $4uuu,-
00 amount saved $1625.00. Investigation,
Messrs. Editors, will prove the correctness
of the above figures, anil should of itselt
do away with the opposition to such an
enterprise as lias been started. No better
iaxiv of young men are to be foiiud in a
similar organization in tho state than in
“Defiance,” of Milledgeville, and Milledge-
ville’s citizens should aid them in every
way and her council stand squarely to
them. Fireman.

INDIAN SPRING, GEORGIA.
A DISASTROUS FIRE.
Special to The Constitution.
Indian Spring, April 18.—At 3 o’clock
this morning tiie store of H. J. Lamar, in
ront of the Collier House, caught fire and
despite tho manful efforts of a large crowd,
who soon gathered, the building was soon
entirely covered in iiames. The Collier
house next ignited from the intense heat,
which, altogether witli the Lumar store,
iii less than two hours, was entirely de
stroyed. The vacant store of Mrs. Wright
led the iiames from Lamai’s to that of
Saunders * Lawson, both of which burn
ed. The bar and billiard sahMin af George
Collier, tho vacant store ef E. E. Pound,
together with another small building
south of Collier’s was burned also. Saun
ders * Lawson saved about all their
goods. Perhaps nbout ten per cent of the
Collier iiouse furniture was saved. The
postofflee with most of its fixtures were
destroyed. None, except H. J. Lamar
hold any insurance—ho about one-half..
The lire has been stopped and no further
damage expected. The total loss is esti
mated at $30,000. The people struggled
nobly to save tho property but had no ap
pliances for doing so and their only avail
able efforts were those made to extricate
goods from tiie burning buildings. The

A Distinguished Georgian Dead.
Pine Bluff, Ark., April 16.—Judge Wm.
II. Crawford died at 2 o’clock Saturday
morning. Ho was an eminent jurist, an
accomplished scholar, a planter, and a
Christian gentleman. His descent is illus
trious; his father was the late Wta. H.
Crawford, of Georgia, one or the purest
statesmen of modern times, who was Sec
retary of Treasury in President Monroe’s
Cabinet, and afterward, in 1828, was nom
inated for the Presidency bv t lie democrats
In Congress. This nomination was the in
auguration of tho caucus system of polit
ical management since grown popular with
political parties, and it was the beginning
of the memorable contest between Adams,
Clay, Andrew Jackson and Crawford.
Judge Crawford, In early life in his na
tive State, participated freely in polities,
and had a spirited race for Congress with
the late Hon. A. H. Stephens. The whig
party of the district was in the ascendan
cy, and Judge Crawford was defeated by
a small majority. He has been a resident
of this State, twenty-five years. He never
took any part in the politics of
this State, though often solicited to do
so, and devoted himself to his plantation
Interests and the care of an interesting
family. Occasionally as diversion from
plantation routine, and to accomplish all
the good he could in the absence of the
regular pastor of the Presbyterian church
of this city, he often occupied the pulpit.
Ilis sermons were characterized by pro
found biblical lore and masterly eloquence.
The doath of such a man is deplored as a

delphians Attempted to sell on our streets
some Cough Candy on which they had
willfully neglected to put the U. 8. Revenue
Stamps. Of course. Uncle Sam speedily
fined them and confiscated their stock.
Yesterday another chap thought to fill his
pocket witli sundry change by trading on
the wide-spread and well known reputa
tion of Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup. Armed
with a goodly supply of ills choicest “Hon
eyed Herb Drops,” cla I tiling them to be
“prepared by Dr. Bull’s orlgioai recipe,”
he takes his stand on one of the thorough
fares of our city, reasoning in this way:
Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup sells always, ev
erywhere, and to every body; ergo, these
“Honeyed Herb Drops,” made from the
recipe of Dr. Bull, will roll me up such a
nice little fortune that—this illusory day
dream is suddenly ended by the appear
ance on ths scenes of the representatives
of the genuine Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup.
Whereupon the fellow is compelled to beat
a sudden retreat and to leave his spurious
goods on the field. Moral.—Unscrupulous
dealers, and venders of fraudulent imita
tions, wifi find il quite as dangerous to in
fringe tiie Patent Rights of Bull’s Cough
Syrup, as terbresk the Revenue Laws of
Uncle Sam.—(Balto., Md. Sun.

The Scientific American, a vory reliable
paper, gives the following recipe as a sure
cure for corns. As the remedy is very
simple, if any of our readers are afflicted
with corns it would probably be well for
them to give it a trial: “Take one fourth
cup of strong vinegar, crumble it into
some bread. Let it stand half an hour,
or funtil it softens into a good poultice.
Th a n apply on retiring at night. In the
morning the soreness will be gone and
the corn can be picked out. If the corn is
a very obstinate one it may require two
or more applications to effect a cure.”
