THE STANDARD AND EXPRESS. PUBLISHED WEEKLY. VOL. 14. POET B Y . SONG OF TIIE MYSTIC. BY FATIIBU It VAX. I walk down the Valley ot Silence— p.wn lint dim, voice lens Volley—alone; Ami I hear not the voice of a footstep Around me—save God's and my own ; And the hitdi of my heart Is as.holy A- hovel - when angels have flo .a. l..mg ago—l was weary of voices Whose music my heart could not win ; 1, )ii»- siiro —1 was weary of noises That 1 retted my soul with their din ; Lons? ago—l was weary of places Where l met but the Human—and Kin. 1 walked thro’ the world with the worldly ; I 1 craved what the world never gave; And 1 aid: “In the world each ideal Thai shines like a star on life’s wave. 1 tossed on the shores of the Heal, And sleeps like a dream in the grave.” I And still did I jiluc for the Perfect, And still found the False will) the True; i 1 ought 'mid the Human for Heaven, Hut 1 canglit a mere glimpse of its Blue; | Ands wept when the clouds of Mortal Veiled even the glimpse from my view. And 1 toiled oil, heart-tired of the Human ; i And I moaned 'mid the ina of men ; '1 111 I knelt long at an Altar, Aml h ard a voice call me since then 1 walked down the Valley of Hileuee T Dial lies far beyond mortal ken. I Do you ask what I tumid in the Valley ? ’T is my trusting place with the Divine ; And 1 fell at the lent of the Holy, And above me a voice said : “Be mine ;” And then rose from the depths of my spirit j An echo “My heart t-liuil be thine.” |).» you ask how I live in the Valley ? 1 weep- and I dream -and I pray— But my tears are us sweet as the dew-drops i That fall on the roses of May ; And my pray’r like a perfume from censors, | A eeudeth to God night and day. In the hush of the Valley of Silence 1 dream of all the songs that I sing : And the music floats down the dim Valley | Till each tiuds a word for a wing. That to men, like the Dove of the Deluge, The message of Peace they may bring. But far on the deep there are billows That never shall break on the beach ; And 1 have heard songs in the silence That never shall float into speech ; And 1 have had dreams in the Valley Too lofty for language to reach. And 1 have seen Thoughts in the Valley— All, me! how my spirit was stirred! And they wear the holy veils on their faces, ! And their footsteps can scarcely be heard. They pass through the Valley like Virgins, Too pure for the touch of a word. Do you ask me the place of the Valley, Ye hearts that are narrowed by care? It licth far away between mountains, And God and his angels are there ; And one is tlm dark mount of Sorrow, And one—the bright mountain of Prayer. [From the New York World, 21, nit.] WATERING TIIE JUDICIARY. The comments of frightened Re publican journals upon the “Gran gers” and the deterioration of the ju diciary are very good as far as they go. Rut they are lop-sided. T.iere i is nothing very “new and startling” j in the circumstances attending the ! election of Mr. Craig to the Supreme : Court of Illinois, nor are the “absurd- ■ ity and deformity of the elective sys- j tern” alone to blame for that incident. | The case is far otherwise, and the true j sources of the evil must be looked for j much deeper than in the “Grangers” j pimple. If in point of fact the action | of the Granges is explained, flippant ly it may he, but at all exactly, by j the Cincinnati Commercial, when it! says that the farmers think they might as well own a few judges as any other organizations or corpora tions, then the attempt to elect a judge in the farmers’ interest grows out of a well-founded opinion that the judiciary has become altogether partisan, and if a judge is not for the farmers he is sure to be against them. Now, whence comes this sentiment, which exists in other States as well as in Illinois, and is a little more an- ; cient than the organization of the j Granges? Does it proceed from the fact that the elective system has giv- j i'ii us such judges as Barnard, Me-j Cunn and Cardoza, as the Nation i seems to think? Does it proceed; from the fact that the appointive sys-; tem has given us such specimens as Durell,Sherman, Busteedand Bond? Does it not rather proceed from the fact that for the last thirty years, and indeed ever since the anti-slavery ag itation began to culminate, there has been such a continuous cry forjudges who would ignore the statute and ad minister instead the “higher law” of the popular will, that we have ended by having a school of judges on the bench educated to the opinion that that senseless cry was the voice of a sacred oracle? Are not our chickens ! coining home to roost? The memory of Roger B. Taney j should lie heavy upon the consciences 1 of those who cannot sleep well of; nights because of Craig or because of; Durell. The just judge was long since without honor in this country j wherever the statute happened to be invidious, and the natural conse quence has long since ensued. To tlie new order of judges, obloquy is more painful than the sense of duty, and neither constitution nor statute are of any account in collision with the exigencies of partisan zeal or the temptations of personal greed. But these judges are our own creatures, and we must father their sins. Nei ther the elective system nor the ap pointive system is responsible for their existence, their errors, nor the had consequences flowing from them, but just our own bad passions and party hates and envies. It is impossible to look back at the events of the last twenty or thirty years without discovering how the deterioration of the judiciary has been brought about. The premium offered for corrupt judges has been too great. We hounded down every righteous judge who dared interpret the law in the face of our prejudices or in contravention of our impulses. We applauded and flattered eyery sycophant who ignored the principles of his profession in order to court our favor. When we had the chance we banished and expelled the righteous judges, and encouraged and advanced sycophancy. It became a good thing to be a sycophant on the bench, and righteousness was placed at a terrible discount. We “watered” thejudicia ry, in fact, to break a “corner” against us, and we watered it so heav ily that the stock has been worthless ever since. We began by persecuting the judges who were steadfast to the law. We insisted that a man should not cease to be a partisan, or else should cease to boa j udge. We demanded to have rogues in order that they might steal tor us what we could not acquire a bon ni'jrche. The judge who would betray tlie statute to suit his constit uents, must be expected to betray bis constituents to suit himself. We persecuted Taney and found grace and comeliness in the military commissions “organized to convict,” and in the admiralty and cotton-prize judges instructed to confiscate. We— a majority of us in the West, at least— thought it entirely proper for the President to “water” the Supreme Court with the weak, wishy-washy and wicked Bradley and Strong de coction, in order to reverse the decis ion of that tribunal upon the green back question; we thought Under wood’s justice in Virginia quite a neat contrivance: we did not repudi ate entirely Bond’s dragonade in the Carolinas, nor Busteed’s rag-and-bot tle shop of equity in Alabama; nay more, some ot us were willing to lin’d j excuses for Durell’s midnight usur pation in Louisiana. By what right, ! then, do such assume to condemn the ! farmers in Illinois as seeking to have on their bench what the politicians at Washington and the railroad men in New York and Chicago and Indi anapolis have upon their benches— subservient tools in the stead of im partial judges? If a party may have it bench, if a faction may have its judge, why may not Tweed and Fisk have their judges, too—if they can get them? The Chicago Tribune and tiie Nation are seeking in the hay stack for the needle that is sticking to their own sleeves. The judiciary is not corrupted and fallen because it is made elective, but because if has been forced to become partisan. A judge who will barter his convictions and opinion for the votes of 10,000 will burter it finally for the service or the money of one. The partisanship of the judiciary is a tiling created and a thing compelled by the Repub lican party, which, from its incep tion, was hampered by precedent and statute, and found it necessary in or der to make progress in the direction of its sentimental and sanguinary impulses to provide fitting tools to cut the Gordian knot of the constitu tion and the laws it could not unite. CARTERSVILLE. We spent a few days, not long since, in this truly flourishing, grow ing and enterprising town. Carters viile is the capital of Bartow county, situated on the State Railroad, about fifty miles above Atlanta. The growth of the village of a few years ago has been rapid as is attes ted by the well-developed and rapid ly growing town of 3,500 inhabitants to-day. We consider Cartersville a model place, a place that many more pre tentious corporations would do well to pattern after. Her people are en ergetic, live and full of go-ahead-a tiveness and common sense, in fact the very population to develop a country or build a city. For instance, the town is rapidly improving, its limits are swelling, its business houses are tiie most commo dious and elegant pattern, its resi dences are marvels of beauty and taste. In most places, with such prospects, the landlords would “kill the goose that laid the golden egg,” by exhorbitant rent. But not so in Cartersville. Rents arc reasonable, the best store houses renting from sls to $25 per month—residences in pro portion. The Cartersvillians are wise enough not to attempt to grasp all at once, they are satisfied with a reasonable interest on the invest ment of their means. Thirty-five hundred people do not alone signify Cartersville. Far from it. She is the Queen of the Etowah Valley, one of the richest and most fertile regions in varied resources in the South. r The Etowah Valley! No wonder the Red Men of the forest fought so desperately ere they reced ed from their patrimony before the inevitable march of Civilization. To appreciate this garden spot of Georgia, reader, of the piney woods, salamander till is, and frog ponds of Southwestern Georgia, you should see it. See it as it now stands dress ed in all its natural richness. See its fields of dark green corn, which easi ly yeild 50 bushels to the acre, the wheat now being harvested at the rate of 30 bushels to the square acre, see the oceans of clover, mingling its sweet perfume with the bracing mountain air, tho oats the hay, and lastly king cotton, the pride* of the South, and the staple product ofthese lower sections which averages about one bale to every four acres under cultivation, there a bale is made to every acre planted. If there were no other resources than those enumerated, it would be a great country. But the half is not told. Iron, the best and most useful of minerals, without which distance would be interminable—this pro duct ever in demand is lying in quantities beyond human computa tion right around Cartersville.* No less than five furnaces are at work putting the ore in marketable form. One furnace alone turns out thirty ton of pig iron per day, which is worth the round sum of S4B per ton at the fur nace. So much for manufactured iron. But we proceed—the demand does not rest, thousands of tons of the ore, just as taken from thegroud, is shipped to Chattanooga and other places. Now what does this enor mous trade suggest? The employ ment of hundreds of men and tne distribution of thosands of money. Near the town are also immense lime quarries where pure alabaster lime is manufactured and shipped at fine prices. Marble, granite, mica and needle ore, are among other sour ces of wealth that are being develop ed. And at Rockmart, down the valley, on the Cherokee Road, there I are immense quarries of slate— enough to supply the world. That too is being utilized and car loads are shipped daily. We have thus briefly summed up the varied resources of this portion of our State, and in doing so we have shown upon what the growing town of Cartersville has to depend. Com ment is unnecessary. The people of Cartersville are in i telligent and courteous. The socie |ty is par excellence. Good schools j and wealthy religious denominations ' are also to he found. ; The Standard & Express, is an able newspaper, which of- itself is a fair indication of the people it repre sents. We had the pleasure of meet ing Mr. Smith, the senior editor, and i found him to be an intelligent and | affable gentleman. To Col. Abb Johnson, Vice Presi -1 dent of the Cherokee Railroad, we j are indebted for courtesies, and a I pass over his road to Rockmart. SAMUEL H. SMITH & COMPANY, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 10, 1873. The Colonel is one of the leading citi- j zen.s in that section and is very popu- i lar, and from all we could learn, de-; servedly so. The railroad is narrow gauge from Taylorsville to Rock mart, but we learn it is to be widen ed at an early day. We formed ma ny pleasant acquaintances in Carters ville, among whom we may mention Messrs. Lovelace, Wilkes, Gilreath, George, and the gentlemanly agent of the Western and Union Telegraph Company. We shall bear them in kind remembrance. In conclusion let us say that as a summer resort, Cartersville possesses many attractions. Board cheap, water excellent, best society, and good health. HOW TO CURE COLD FEET. I labitual coldness of the feet means congestion of the brain and other in ternal organs thus unbalancing the whole circulation, and injuring every organ in the body. To prevent cold feet, have vour shoes or boots of firm thick leather, water proof, and be sure they are tight. Avery tight fit ting boot or shoe radiates the heat as fast as the boot can provide it. if the boot or shoe is large enough to admit of a good supply of air around the foot, the temperature will be much more easily maintained. Tight stockings and tight garters are also among the common causes of cold feet. But when the feet are cold at bed-time, in spite of exercise, arti ficial heat should be resorted to. No one should retire to bed with cold feet without provision to warm them. A hot brick wrapped in several folds of cloth, will keep warm all night, as well as bottles of hot water or bags of sand. These are better than hea ted flannels because they are more re tentive of heat. But if you are oblig ed to go to bed with cold feet do not draw them up to the body extend yourself at full length, and exercise the lower extremities by rubbing the feet together and passing them alter nately against the foot-board as though you were walking. In due time they will become warm, if you have blood enough to do it. To cure habitual cold feet hold them for five minutes in water as worm as can be borne without discomfort, then dip them in moderately cool water for half a minute and wipe dry. It is useful also, to follow the bath with a brisk walk or active friction. This should be repeated each evening at bed-time. — A FATHER’S ADVICE TO A BRIDE. Said a young husband, whose bus iness speculations were unsuccessful: “My wife’s silver tea set, the bridal gift of a rich uncle, doomed me to financial ruin. It involved a hun dred unexpected expenses, which in trying to meet, have made me the bankrupt that I am.” Ilis is the experience af many others, who, less wise, do not know what is the goblin of the house, working Its destruction. A sagacious father of great wealth, exceedingly mortified his daughter by ordering it to be printed on her wedding cards. “No presents, ex cept those adapted to an income of $1,000.” Said he, “you must not ex cept to begin life in the style I am able by many years of labor to in dulge ; and 1 know of nothing which will tempt you to try more than the well-intentioned but pernicious gifts of rich friends.” Sucli advice is timely. If other parents would fol low the same plan, many young men would be spared years of incessant toil and anxiety; they would not find themselves on the downward road because their wives had worn all of their salary or expended it on the appointments of the house. The fate of the poor man who found a linchpin and felt obliged to make a carriage to lit it, is the fate of the husband who finds his bride in po sessson of gold and silver valuables and no large income to support the owner’s gold and silver style. BOY UNDER A SPELL. There is a boy, says the San Fran cisco Figaro, in one of our schools who wears a green velvet suit, which is broken out with bell buttons. There is a great change in the boy since he commenced to go to school several months ago. He was then but a trifle better than an untutored savage, although we frankly confess that we didn’t know what an untu tored savage is. His first experience in school was a spelling lesson. While the class was going through the exercise, he sat on the platform, near the teacher and locked his hands across his knees, and watched the class very intently. The first word was Ransom. “By gracious,” said he drawing his teeth very hard. 'The teacher gave him a reproving look, and vventon —Multiply, “thun der and lightning, what a word,” he cried in a storm of delight. Again the teacher nailed him with a look, and proceeded—Osculation. At this he just raised himself up to his feet, and shrieked in a perfect frenzy of ecstacv, “By Godeys, gentlemen, just shove* your teeth into that.” This broke up the lesson. DIGGING OUT A WOODCHUCK.’ A minister going to dine after ser vice with one of his deacons, came upon the hired boy of his host dig ging at a woodchuck’s hole. The parson who was unknown to the boy checked his rein ahd accosted him with: “Well, my son, what are you doing there ?” “Digging out a woodchuck, sir,” said the boy. “Why, but don’t you know that is very wicked ? and besides you won’t get him if you dig for him on Sun day.” “Git ’im,” said the boy; “thunder! I’ve got to git ’im? The minister’s coming to our house to dinner, and we ain’t got any meat.” TIIE WILL OF A DRUNKARD. I die a wretched sinner; and I leave to the world a worthless repu tation a wicked example, and a memory that is only fit to perish. I leave to my wife a widowed and broken heart, and a life of lonely j struggle with want and poverty. I leave to my children a tainted name a ruined position, a pitiful ig norance, and the mortfyiing recollec ! tion of a father who, by his life dis j graced humanity, at his premature death joined the great company of ! those who are never to enter the I kingdom of God. A HAPPY EDITOR. Col. Sam. Smith, the local of the Cartersville Repress, who by the way is a heavy-set, sleek-iooking preach er of tiie Methodist persuasion, is now happy—immeasurably happy ; and it is all about “frying chickens.” They have made their appearance in his bailiwick, and with rapturous, joyous anticipation at the countless chicken feasts in store for him when he again starts out on his ministeri al round he, thus, in the 'fullness of his soul, exclaims: “The early crop of frying chickens is now in, and the prospect for good living is encour aging. A man with a good appetite and plenty of chicken ought to be drummed out of the country if he does not keep in a good humor.” I lappy editor! —happy Sam. Smith ! if he does not do full justice to the subject, tht'n all we have to say is, Methodist preachers have been most eggregiously slandered. —D illon Cit izen. Wjj Can’t Lie Out of It.”—The Milwaukee (Wisconsin) News of June 15th says: “1 won’t do,” was the cheerful de claration of a loud-talking, active Republican at Elkimrn, to the ven erable Senator Samuel Pratt, who had come up there the other day to attend the old settlers’ festival. “It won’t do, I tell you. Uncle Sam,” said the speaker, to try to lie out of Grant’s being drunk at Geneva. We all saw him drunk. Half the country saw him drunk. If it had been a small crowd of only 200 or 300 peo ple, we could have brassed it out and lied it down, Uncle Sam. But there were thousands there who saw him drunk—so drunk that heoouln’t walk straight—so drunk that he had to be helped into the cars. There wore to many of ’em saw it, Uncle Sam ;we can’t lie out of it.” Such talk in a crowd is not calculated to help the President along in the good opinion of the Wal w orth county peo ple who heard it. DEATH OF AN OLD RESI DENT OF DALTON. We regret to chronicle the death, at Clarksville, Ga., on Monday last, of Mrs. N. J. Hanks, consort of our fellow-citizen, Col. J. A. R. Hanks. She had been feble health for a long while, and was fully prepared for the “grim messenger,” having been a member of the Baptist Church for over a quarter of a century. A bet ter neighbor, a kinder woman to the poor, an humbler, purer Christian never lived. She will be sadly miss ed from amongst us. The grief stricken husband has the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community. Her remains were brought to this place on Wednesday morning and interred by the side of her father and mother. —Dalton Citizen llon. Tiios. Stocks.—Tho Greens boro' Herald is “pleased to chronicle the fact that Hon. Thos. Stocks has recovered from his recent illness.” He has more than lived out the three-score years and ten allotted to our race on the earth; but the churches might better spare many a younger man, and we hope tho time is distant when he will cease to “tab ernacle among us.” A German peddler sold a man a liquid for the extermination of bugs. “And how do you use it?” enquir ed the man after he had bought it.— “Ketch the bug, unt von little into his mout,” answered tiie peddler. “The deuce you say,” exclaimed the purchaser: I could kill it in half that time by stamping on it, “Veil,” calmly exclaimed the German, “dat ish a good way to, kill him.” Persons who call at public offices for special information , w r ho are cour teously entertained, and in whose be half the discipline and rules of the office are suspended, should have discretion and politeness enough to obstain from asking impertinent questions and prying into papers and documents with which they have no b usiness.— exchange. On Sunday last, about twelve o’clock, while a party of boys were passing through a field of Jonas Temple, near Buford, in Calhoun county, the entire party was pros trated by a thunderbolt. Eldridge Paul, a son of Mrs. Elizabeth Paul, a widow jady, was instantly killed, and the balance of the party—four of Temple’s boys—was rendered help less for some hours. A telegram from New Orleans says that it is not Gen Beauregard who signed the recent address in New Orleans to the people of Louis iana for a reunion of all elements fa vorable to the welfare of tiie State and the rights of the colored people, but a Republican politician of the same name, w ho is no relation to the former. Mr. Beecher’s last Sunday evening sermon strikes Dr. Chapin as a pret ty fair article of Universalism. “We have been seriously considering,” says the Christian Leader, “whether we might not make room for Mr. Beecher in our capacious fold.” A tea made of chesnut leaves and drank in the place of water, will cure the most obstinate case of dropsy in a few days.—-Medical Journal. Atlanta has discovered a mineral spring in the heart of the city. Its properties are identical with those of the famous Congress water. Chattaunooga claims that by the first of next year she will have at least $2,500,000 invested in manufac turing establishments. Tiie cotton seed of the South, which was once thrown away as worthless, is now worth $3,000,000 per year. j After the first of July all packages weighing over four pounds will be excluded from the mails. “A man can’t help what is done behind his back!” as the loafer said when he was kicked out of doors. Dr. Harrell, of Bain bridge, was bitten by a moccasin, but a free use of brandy savad him. Rev. Mr. Tyng objects to being called the Beecher of the Episcopal Church. Rev. Wm. A. Rogers, of Marietta, has been tendered the Prisidency of I the Dalton Female College. farm, Garden and InseMi REMEDY FOR CHOLERA. We publish the following remedy for cholera and other bowel affections, with tho hope that it may be the menus of doing good. We advise our readers to preserve the recipe, and keep the remedy on hand and have it ready for any emergency: THE SUN CHOLERA MIXTURE. More than forty years ago, when it was found that prevention for the Asiatic cholera was easier than cure, the learned doctors of both hemis pheres drew up a prescription, which was published (for working people) in the New York Sun, and took the name of “The Sun Cholera Mixture.” Our contemporary never lent its name to a better article. We have seen it in constant use for nearly two score years, and found it to be the best remedy for looseness of the bow els ever yet devised. It is to be com mended for several reasons, It is not to be mixed with liquor and there fore will not be list'd as an alcoholic beverage. Its ingredients are well known among aii the common peo ple, and it will have no prejudice to cohifiat; each of the materials is iu equal proportion to the others, and it may, therefore, be compounded with out professional skill; and as the dose is so very small, it may be carried in a tiny phial in the waistcoat pocket, and be always at hand. It is: Tinct. opii, Capsici, Rhei co., Ment-h pip., Camphor. Mix the above in equal parts: dose, ten to thirty drops. In plain terms, take equal parts tincture of opium, red pepper, rhubarb, peppermint, and camphor, and mix them for use. In ease of diarrhoea take a dose of ten to twenty drops in three or four tea spoonfuls of water. No one who has this by him and takes it in time will ever have the cholera. We commend it to our Western friends, and hope that the receipt will be widely pub lished. Even when no cholera is an ticipated it is an excellent remedy for ordinary summer complaint.— Journal of Commerce. HOW OFTEN '"SHOULD COWS ' BE MILKED. Regularity in the milking of cows is of as much importance as regulari ty in feeding them. In a state of na ture, the cow is relieved of its milk a great many times each day. A calf allowed to remain with its mother will help itself seven or eight times each day. Under such circumstances the udder of —•» ‘y““- smaii, unu it allowed to retain the milk secreted during twelve hours, i feverish symptoms are likely to be 1 produced. The practice of milking j cows more than twice in twenty-four j hours causes the capacity of the ud- j der to be greatly increased, and prob ably helps in mantaining the lacteal secretion long after pregnancy has taken place. When, however, by an artificial system, the cow has been enabled to retain her milk without inconvenience for twelve hours or so, she ought to be milked regularly ev ery day at the same hour. When the time for milking arrives, the ud der usually becomes distended to its utmost capacity, and if not speedily removed, the animal suffers consider able pain. Cases of fever, the result of allowing animals to remain too long tin milked, are, indeed, by no means of unfrequent occurrence. It is especially necessary to attend to this point for some days after the an imal has brought forth its young, for during that period very little irrita tion of the lacteal organs is likely to bring on that most fatal of maladies, fever. If milking be too long delay ed, nature will try to help the poor animal. An absorption of milk into the blood will to some extent take place, and that which remains in the udder will become deteriorated. — When neglect to milk a cow at the regular time is repeated several times, the secretion of the fluid is perma nently checked; and there are many cases where, by such neglect, an ani mal has become dry in less than a month.— lrish Farmer's Gazette. OAFS AS A MANURE. A Kentucky farmer writes: I have seen frequent inquiries how to re claim old and worn lands. A quick and cheap plan is to sow the land in oats as early as you can in the spring; as soon as ripe plow under; keep off all stock and you will have a tre-! mendous full growth of oats. Plow them under in October, or, if South, the first of November; then sow rye,, graze in the spring and feed down; when ripe plow under, and you will see one of the finest rye fields you ever saw; or, if you wish, sow clover on the rye the first spring; it is very effectual and cheap. I saw the above | tried in Tennessee when I was a boy; the land was so poor that the oats , did not exceed knee-high ; they were plowed under when ripe, and again, in November. The land was planted in corn the next year and made a large yield ; it was before the days of clover. I have tried it repeatedly since with good success. REMEDY FOR HEADACHE. Pains in the head arise from such a variety of causes that uo one remedy will answer in every case. But the following is said to be an excellent preparation, and from the simple na ture of the ingredients we think it is worth trying; Put a handful of salt into a quart of water, add one ounce of spirits of hartshorn, and half an ounce of spir its of camphor. Put them quickly into a bottle, and cork tightly to pre vent the escape of the spirits. Soak apiece of cloth with the mixture, and apply it to the head. Wet the cloth afresh as soon its it gets heated. NAIL,IN"*THE FOOT. To relieve from the terrible effects of running a nail in the foot of man or horse, take peach leaves, bruise them, apply to the wound, confine with bandage, and the cure is as if by magic. Renew the application twice a day, if necessary ; but one application usually does tiie work. It has been known to cure both man and beast in a few hours, when they were apparently on the point of hav ing the lock-jaw. This recipe, re membered, will save many valuable lives.
