The Weather.
Wo are needing rain—a copious supply.
A dose investigator of nature and all her
works, tells us that when water, whether
rain or river water, is allowed to remain
stagnant, mosquitoes breed to an extrava
gant extent; but that when a heavy shower
or succession of showers fall, the water is
troubled thereby, the progress of the insect
from incubation to development interrupted,
and the “skeeter” falls still born. Ob, for
a good old-fashioned shower!

A Beautiful Incident.
The flag staff of a school house was struck
by lightning last Friday. Owing, however,
to the officiant discipline übd the admirable
self possession of the teacher, a panic (no
unusual thing in our public school*) was
happily prevented. The rooms on the lower
lloor aro connected with the roof by flues,
and in one of these the «deetrio fluid seemed
to collect in larger quuutiiios than in the
olhers. The scholars, who are young, were
fearfully alarmed. Somo of them rose in
their scats ready to run, and a stampede was
imminent. With u glance the teacher took
in the state of affairs, and instantly, and in
a cheerful voice, she started one of tho famil
iar little songs so well known in our primaries.
This simple expedient of the teacher acted
like magic ; their attention wns drawn from
the cause of their fears, her stimulated coiifi
deuce excited a real sense of security in
them, and their safety was secured.
t'eallnn I.cnte.
This old proverb, “Hasten slowly,” is
worthy of. consideration now-a-days. Our
people seem to forget its wisdom when
they rush through the streets in a gal!op t
when the mercury ranges from ninety to one
hundred degrees. They gain nothing by their
hurry, except to learn the truth of another
saying, “The more haste tho worse speed;"
for when they reach ilicir goal they find
themselves utterly unable to accomplish the
business which incited their journey. *
I‘crsonul.
There is a certain girl in this city who
talks so much, and knows all about every
thing that docs or does not happen, and
everything that is going to happen, besides
a good deal else, that it has been sug
gested that the Postmaster seriously eon
template tho propriety of taking the
letter list from the newspapers, and giving
it to her, on the ground that sho has the
largest circulation of any medium in town.
School Children.
Perhaps it may be superfluous to call
the attention of our teachers to the fact
that the enervation which the presont
warm weather produces upon the human
system makes continued and closo applica
tion to study incompatible with the health
of the young. Wc can not help saying,
however, that it is bettor, far better, to
forego their anticipated progress during
the warm season, than, by excessive stirnu
lation of their mental powers when the
physical system is relaxed, to render them
incapable of exertion when the elements
shall bo moro favorable to their progress. *
Beware of Benzine.
From the facility with which it removes
grease spots from fabrics, this substance lias
come to bo regarded almost as a household
indispensable. But few persons, however,
realize the explosive character of benzine, nr
the dangers attending careless handling of
the liquid. Being the most volatile and
inflammable product resulting from tho dis
tillation of petroleum, it vaporizes with
great rapidity, so that the contents of a four
ounce vial, il overturned, would render the
air of a moderate sized room highly explo
sive. The greatest care should be exercised
in handling this substance, in proximity to
fire, and it is important to remember that the
vapor escaping Iroin an uncorked bottle will
cause a flame to leap over a space of several
feet. *
Silver ( hange.
There are silver coins enough in the
country to serve the purposes of change. It
is not in circulation because it is not current
at its market value. It can not be exported,
like gold. Il is simply lying dormant
because there is no currency for il it in
true value.
A little monetary genius on tho part of
our retail traders would bring out all this
hoarded silver change to take the place of
the fractional notes. The currency rate for
gold has not varied far from $1.40 fora long
time. This would be a sale standard by
which to fix the current value of the frac
tional silver coins ; and if tiiey were current
at this, they would come into circulation.
Concert of action among our retail dealers
might give us this clean change, and drive
out the obi oxious fractional notes, which
have beeyi so largely counterfeited that there
is a genera! feeling ol uncertainty in regard
to them.
Satiirdny-Aftcrnooii SJol i<l« ys,
We notice that in -some o( thc principal
cities, many business men have agreed to
close their houses at three o’clock on Satur
day afternoons—to give re-creation to their
employees. Now, il our great wholesale
mercantile houses would adopt a similar
measure, employers, clerks, and all would be
greatly henefitted, and citizens would soon
adapt their wants to thc hours. Saloons and
cigar stands, newspaper offices and hotels
are about the only places that could not
make such a change. Men must drink and
smoke, must read ihe papers and lounge in
the bar rooms of hotels. Life would hardly
be worth the living without such articles of
prime necessity. So, mixers of brandy
smashes and whiskey punches, venders of
pipes and the fragrant weed, reporters and
editors, and hotel clerks, can have no hours
of recreation. No half Saturday holidays.
“Tbc man iti Ilie moon,”
This mythical individual has at length
been accurately described. A professor of
the mysteries of spiritualism recently visited
the moon, by and with the advice and con
sent of the ghost of Ben. Franklin. He says:
The anatomical structure of the inhabitants
of the moon is peculiar; they are, on tho
average, about three feet high, having very
large round heads, with a couple ol horns in
front, and something resen.bling human faces
on thc buck side of the cranium; they
always walk sidewise, like large odd looking
crabs, with the face turned over the ghoul
dors as they walk; they have very large,
protruding eyes, one on either side of the
nose, which is broad, snout like, and turns
up at the end; they wear clothes of an
exceedingly coarse and peculiar lend of
grass, only found in tho moon, woven to
gether by a very simple process, and they are
lon the whole a very intelligent race of oddi
ties, greatly given to the study of ineta
physics.

Train RCKiilaiiann.
It is not known where the following mani
festo came from, but it is emphatically good :
General Scckrixtenuent’s Office, 1
May, 1808. J
Rule l.—No train, alter this date, will be
made up of a greater length than the height
of the propelling power.
Rule 2. —In coming down heavy grades
(church steps, for instance) first class trains
will move as rapidly us safety will allow;
but all accommodation trains will proceed
slowly and stop frequently, to allow people
to step on the trains. Caution, however, is
necessary in starting up while people arc
so engaged, to prevent accidents.
Rule 3.—A1l trains to be held .up at
crossings. All empty “flats” standing on
the “sidings” at the time should be
switched off.
Rule 4.—When three or more trains are
proceeding in company, they should always
muve side by side, and on no account what
ever change ibis position. Trains ap
proaching from tho opposite direction must
keep out of the way. (This rule is impera
tive.)
Rule s.—ls it is desirable to attach a
“flat" to a moving train, speed should be
slackened and signals given by bowing.
The “flat” will respond by throwing away its
cigar, twirling its moustache, and elevating
its hat. The answering signal is a smile,
which signifies “couple on.” After ‘ coup
ling,” the combined train will proceed very
slowly—very. By order of
Fashion, President.

Phillip*’ Provision Exchange.
Cincinnati, June 19, IS6B.
Editor Xational Jtepublican :
Dear Sir—The market for provisions during
the past week has changed but little, prices re
maining about the same us last reported. The
demand has been entirely consumptive, specu
lators preferring to stand back until matters
culminate. Tho crops in tho South, at this time,
promise well, and should the worm not interfere
with tiio Cotton, large crops will be inado. Tho
Southern Wheat crop is safo and large. Corn is
promising as well us Cotton, and, with this com
bination, we may look for a good Fall trade in
provisions, as there is no extra supply South,
nor no largo Stock North. The market ctosos
quiet, but very firm for most articles.
KSS PORK has ruled at about S2B all tho
week, and closes steady at this for cash, though
1,000 barrels sold at $25.50, buyers option, July.
Extra prime pork, of which there arc about 1,00(1
barrels here, can be had at $24. No rumps at
any price. *
LARD is in small demand, and not saleable
over 17c for choice city kettled, though holders
demand J to j more, without realizing their
prices. Keg is scarce, and held at tUic. Lower
grades aro dono as avoll as greases, and prices
not qu rtable.
BULK MEATS have been in fair domand,
but buyers and sellers differ a little in their
views, consequently but little has been dono. I
quote the asking prices 12, 14, 15 and 15}c for
shoulders, sides, clear rib and clear sidos, with
buyers J loss. No hams in market.
BACON has been in but moderate demand to
fill small orders, but is, generally firmly held at
13 J, 165, and 17c, for Shoulders, Clear Rib, and
Clear Sides. There are no Rib Sides out of

L Rev. It. Telford, Missionary iu China, now
visiting his home in Pennsylvania :
Washington, Pa., June 25,1866.
Messrs. Perry Davis & Son , Providence, K. J..
Dear Sirs—During a residence of some ten
years as a Missionary in Siam and China, I fouud
your vegetable Pain Killer a most valuable
remedy for that feaiful scourge, the Cholera.
Iu administering the medicine, I fouud it most
effectual to give a teaspoonful of Pain Killer in a
gill of hot water sweetened with sugar; then,
after abont fifteen minutes, begin to give a table
spoonful ot the same mixture every minute until
relief was obiained. Apply hot applications to
the extremities. Bathe the stomach witli Pain
Killer, clear and 111 b the limbs briskly. Os those
who bad the cholera, and took the medicine faith
fully ill the way Btated above, eight out of ten
recovered. Yours, truly,
R TELFORD.
If an attack with Diarrhoea, Dysentery, or
Cramp Colic, don’t delay the use of the" Pain
Killer. Sold by all medicine dealers Price, 25
cents, 00 cents, and $1 per bottle.
Manhattan, Kansas, April 17, ISG6.
Gentlemen— * * “ I want to say a little
more abont the Pain Killer. I consider it a very
valuable medicine, and always keep it on hand.
I have travelled a good deal since I have been in
Kansas, and never without taking it with me,
111 my practice I used it freely for the Asiatic
Cholera, in 1819, and with belter success than anv
other medicine : I also used it here for cholera in
1855, with the same good result.
Truly, yours, A. HUNTING, M. D.
Swato, China.
Chole 1a; w* * 1 regret to say that the
cholera has prevailed here of late to a fearful
extent. For the last three weeks, from ten to
fifty or sixty fatal cases each dav has been re
ported. I should add that, the Pain Killer, sent
recently from the Mission Ilonse, has been used
with considerable success during this epidemic.
If taken in season is generally effectual in check
ing the disease,
Rev. CHARLES IIAKDINIG,

[From the Portland Monthly.]
Summer Complaint and Dysentery.
Bowel complaints seem just now to be the
prevailing element, aud any medicine timt is
everywhere acceptable,' and 'that is reliable, is a
very desirable acquisition. From what we have
seen, heard, and experienced, we believe Davis'
Pain Killer is this desideratum. For the best
method of using it, we quote from the directions:
“For common bowel complaints, give one tea
spoonful in a gill of new milk and molasses in
equal parts, stirred well together; lessen the dose
for children, according to the age. If the pain be
severe, bathe the bowels aud back with the medi
cine. This mode of treatment is good iu cases of
the cholera morbus, sudden stoppages, etc. Re
peat the dose every honr.
file quickest way I ever saw the dysentery
cured was by taking one spoonful of the Pain
Killer in one gill ot milk and molasses stirred
well together and drank hot, at the same time
bathing the bowels freely with medicine. Let
the dose he repeated every hour nntil the patient
is relieved.”
It every person who lias reason to fear this
disease would provide themselves with u bottle
of this medicine, and use as occasiou required, we
believe a great amount of suffering and sickness
would be saved. jel2—2m
