H0S CHOLERA CURE AND
PREVENTIVE.
TYilOMPTED by a desire to benefit our coun-
j try, and also to establish an important
fact in science, we have concluded to offer to
the public the above named remedies for the
- -lire and prevention of Hog Cholera. Medical
gentlemen of skill and experience began a se
ries of examinations when the cholera first
began in this country; after having performed
numerous post mortem examinations upon the.
bodies of hogs which had died of cholera,
and after great research and investigation to
determine the nature of the disease, led by
tbe lights arising therefrom, they undertook
tlie cure of the complaint by various retncdics.
They found several articles beneficial, but
success was not fully attained to until the
above named medicine was compounded, lac
medicine was not sought out for the purpose
of sole, but the great success attending its
”0 has induced them to Form a Company and
obtain a Patent, We offer it as being, under
the accompanying directions, fully capable of
arresting any epidemic of bog cholera, and
prompt in giving relief when properly admin
istered. We confidently believe that the rem
edy is a specific ; yet we do not recommend it
as infallible in all cases, though we have never
known it to fail, either as a cure or preventive
against the further spread of the disease when
used agreeably to the directions, not" ith-
standing those free troni the disease hate been
kept iu close proximity with those diseased.
It is a great Tonic, and will successfully
remove Mange, Sore Head and Vermin, either
of which will affect the health of the hog, and
stop his growth and development. Nothing
will make hogs so thrifty as this remedy. W b
offer no patent remedy for the cure of man,
but we think that the public will esteem us as
benefactors when they consider that we have,
for years, been investigating the discuses of
domestic animals, which form not only a part
of the wealth of tbc country, but afford sus
tenance to man. Allow us to add that hog
cholera, is but a mild disease when taken iu
its earlv stages with this remedy, which will
also remove worms from the bowels, and it
administered once.a ihonth by the directions,
will forever prevent any injuries from the Tri-
chi - Spiralis, which produce such alarming
symptoms in persons who eat tricliinous pot k.
Thousands of applications have been made to
the Patent Office Department of the United
States, in behalf of remedies to cure Hog
Oholera, but we, alone, have been able to pre
scut the unquestionable testimony necessary
procure the Relent now in our possession,
securing to us the right to compound and sell
this invaluable remedy.
Dr. H. Marshall is having these remedies
’ oreoared under his own supervision.

household chants of the hgjiveu on earth
in wlrch she dwells:
He wraps me round with his riches,
He covers me up with his care,
And his love is the love of a manhood,
Whose life is a living prayer.
I have plighted my woman’s affections,
I have given my all in all,
And the flowers of a daily contentment
Renew their sweet lives ere the fall.
And yet like an instrument precious,
That playeth an olden tune,
My heart in lhe midst of its blessings,!

To a day when beneath the branches
1 stood by a silent stream.
And saw in its bosom an image
As one scetb a face in a dream.
I would not resign his devotion,
No, not for a heart that lives!
Nor change one jot my eonditiou
For the change that condition gives;
l should mourn not more for another,
Nor more for another rejo ce,
Than now, when 1 weep at his absence,
Aud welcome his step and his voice.
And yet like an instrument precious,
That playeth on olden tune,
My heart in the midst of its blessings,
Goes back to a day iu June—
To a day when beneath the branches
I stood in the shadow light,
And heard tiie low words of a whisper
As one licareth a voice in the night.
Some Passages in the Life of Jefferson
Davis.
We take the following interesting re
miniscences of Mr. Davis’ adventures, as
■an army officer, from the Galveston News
of the 14th inst:
The regiment commanded by Colonel
Taylor was the 1st Lfc. Infantry, and at
tiie time when young Davis was assigned
to it, was stationed at Prairie Du Chien,
far removed from the border of civiliza
tion. Col. Taylor had been ordered to
keep open the communication between
Lake Superior and the Mississippi river,
and soon after Lieut. Davis joined him,
the sound judgment of the commander
selected the young man to superintend
the erection of Fort Winnebago, now in
the State of Wisconsin. A detachment
was placed under the command of young
Davis, and he was.sent forth through the
A Visit to Mr. Davis-
Mr. John D. Kelley, of Petersburg,
Va., is publishing id the Index of that
city a series of communications giving an
account r»f a recent visit made by him to
Hon. Jefferson Davis at Fortress Monroe.
Extended and discursive as these letters
are, wo would endeavor to copy them en
tire if they related chiefly to Mr. Davis’
condition, feelings or sayings. But Mr.
Kelley had a great deal to say himself
during the interview, on subjects foreign
to these, and occupies so much space in
reporting what he said and thought that
we cannot give the letters entire.
He found Mr. Davis in very feeble
health, but with a spirit unsubdued aud
mental faculties vigorous and unfailing
We make the following extracts from
Mr. Kelley’s narrative, as comprising the
most interesting portion of it that has
yet met our eye.— Columbus Enquirer,
To a suggestion that perhaps the ill
will manifested towards him by some
public men, might be caused by an unfor
giving spirit on their part, in view of
some offense given by him, he said :—
“That is quite probable. I have often
been too angry. Though generally tho’t-
ful and cautious—even tender to the fail
ings of others—yet when they crossed
my path in the shape of pretence, false
hood, craft or cant—then these thoughts
aroused bitter anger for the moment,
sometimes utter aiienatiou. Tniswasall
wrong. Oh! how public life blunts our
perceptions as to the higher delicacies—
tenderness, forbearance—putting the best
construction on the things, words and
persons they are capable of. I have erred
in this particular; but I had often great
provocation—never, however, have I ut
tered an angry, undervaluing, or denun
ciatory sentiment, without believing I
had good cause for so doing, and, iu most
cases, my country lias already, or will
hereafter find that I was right. I now
feel and acknowledge that I was some
times wrong as to the tone or coloring
of a phrase while under the excitement
of debate, as for instance: when Mr.
Johnson, alter the Mexican war, made
some remark derogatory of the West
that

nation among veteran soldiers who regar- J
ded him as a strippling, to provide suste
nance for his command as lie best could,
to prepare plans and drawings, and other
materials for the fort. Whilst engaged
in this, he was ordered by Col. Taylor to
communicate at once with a detachment,, oa , offease t0 iMr . Johnson,
at some point on Lake Superior, supposed | ^ dcd it as a sheer pcrS0 nality.—

of his command and an Indian guide, ^ °
fy them for that duty, or what was the
same thing, that untrained officers did
better than West Pointers. In the course
of reply I made use of this remark:
‘ Who would select a tailor to shoe a horse,
or a blacksmith to make a coat?’ This
with what he supposed a sufficiency of
provision, he set out. llis guide proved
incompetent, and soon deserted. Becom

To the query whether he had anything
to complain of in his present treatment,
he replied that he had not. The present
commander of the fort was a soldier and
to convey a half idea—not an adequate
one—of that touching scene.
The coming of the little child into the
inner casemate, and climbing into his
father’s anus, who had just leaned upon
the sofa, gave occasion to Mrs. Davis to
make some remarks about her other chil
dren. particularly those in Canada. Bish
op Green then remarked that he would
not have ventured to introduce the sub
ject, but as Mrs Davis had done so herself
he felt bound to say, as a Bishop of lrer
own chosen church, he did not think she
acted entirely wisely in sending her
children to a convent to be taught. Mrs.
Davis replied: “I was in Georgia and
had no money. No institution of my
own church offered to teach ray poor
children. One day three Sisters of
Charity came to see me, and brought me
five gold dollars, all the money they had
in the world. They almost forced me to
take the money, but I did not. They
then offered to take my children to their
school in the neighborhood of Savannah,
where the air was cool, and they could be
comfortably cared for during the summer
months. Then came an offer from a con
vent school in Canada, whither, when I
got permissiou from the Government,
which was not without great trouble and
difficulty, I took them. It is true, I do
not wish them to be Roman Catholics;
but then persons as good as they can pos
sibly be and become, are aud have been,
and, doubtless, will continue to be Roman
Catholics. These good people were the
first to offer me their help. I will never
cease to be grateful to them for it.”
Mr. Davis then added, “Bishop, there
never was more unanimity in any nation
of the world than there was in the South
ern Confederacy. It would be invidious
to single out an^ class of our people for
special praise. The churches and minis
try were all, or nearly all, entirely devo
ted to our cause; but, as I said before, if
it would not be regarded as invidious, I
would say that the Catholics of the South
were conspicuously devoted to our cause.
I could relate to you cases of great suffer
ing and trial to which they were subject
ed, and in no case did any of them ever
flinch. I will relate one case of an ex
traordinary kind (I must suppress this
story for the present—it shall be publish
ed hereafter, with some accompaniments,
if I live.) Besides, Bishop, Pio Nono
was the only Prince in the world that
really wished well to our cause and sent
us liis blessing. I cannot help liking
the Catholics. The happiest hours of
my life were once spent in a Catholic
monastery. By the wav* Bishop, I see
our church in the North is establishing
sisterhoods in imitation of the Catholics.
How do they work?”
“ So well,” said the Bishop, “ that I
intend introducing them into my diocese
as soon as possible. Indeed, there are
many good things and good people among
the Catholics, but I think, Mr. Davis, that
our church is good enough for us.”

the old soldier became deranged Irom

him. Ql'ten, when he spoke with the
most exerutiating paiu, he endeavored to
restore his companion by recalling his
wandering intellect to the scenes ot hap
pier days, and the very tears that were
started by such reminiscences were caught
upon the parched tongue and contributed
to the preservation of life. Ou the eve-
niag of the third day they found a small
pool of dirty water, where they lay for
hours. Young Davis had to force his
companiou to move by pointing a pistol
at his breast, and threatening to take bis
life. Fortunately in a few hours after

on the shore of Lake Superior, where
they obtaiued food. It was a long time
before Lieut. Davis recovered from the
effects of this trip, but he successfully
accomplished the object of bis mission,
and soon returned to his command, and
resumed the ordinary duties of bis station.

The Washington City National Intelli

Calhoun proclaimed the following “ great
truths.”
“ Emancipation (said that great South

statesman) itself would not satisfy these
fanatics ; that gained the next step would
be to raise the negroes to a social and
political equality—and that being effected,
we should find the present condition of
the two races reversed. They and their
Northern masters would be the masters,
and we the slaves; the condition of
the white race in the British West India
Islands, as bad as it is, would be happi

Chief of the Confederacy, was virtually

admitted to parole at once, but for the
malicious assassination charge, which no

A Man his own Grandfather.—A
European friend of mine related the fol
lowing story : I married a widow, who
had a grown daughter. My father visited
our house very often, fell in love with my
step-daughter, and married her. So my
father became my son-in-law and my stop-
daughter my mother, because she was my
father's wife. Some time afterwards my
wife had a son—he was my father’s broth
er-in-law, and my uncle for he was the
brother of my step mother.
My father’s wife i. e. my step-danghter,
had also a son, he was of coarse my broth
er, and in the meantime my grandchild,
for he was the son of niv daughter.
My wife was bit grandmother, because
she was my mother’s mother. I was my
wife’s husband and grandchild at the
same time. And as the husband of a
person’s grandmother is his grandfather.
I was my 5 own grandfather.—New Haven

Important to Farmers.
DECISION OF THE COMMISSIONERS OF
INTERNAL REVENUE.
The following decisions have recently
been given by the Commissioners of In
ternal Revenue at Washington. They
are important to farmers in so far as they
untangle some of the knotty points of law:
1. Fanners will not be required to
make returns of produce consumed in
their own immediate families.
2. The farmers’ profits from sales of
live stock arc to be found by deducting
from the gross receipts for animals sold,
the purchase money paid for tire same.—
If animals have been lost during the year j
by death or robbery, the purchase money ,
for such animals may be deducted from j
the gross income of the Farm.
3. No deduction can be made by the j
farmer tor the value of services rendered j
by his minor children, whether he actual-j
ly pays for such service or no. If his j
adult children work for him and receive | _
compensation for their labor, they are to j S0N ’> Es( f’ 1 e * nan > Georgia,
be regarded as other hired laborers in
determining his income.
4. Money paid for labor, except such
as is used or employed in domestic ser
vice, or in the tainily of the producer,
may be deducted.
5. No deduction can be allowed in any
case for the cost of unproductive labor.
If house servant or servants are employed
a portion of the time in productive labor,
such as the making of butter and cheese
for sale, a proportionate amount of the
wages paid them may be deducted.
6. Expenses for ditching and clearing
new land are plainly expenses for perma
nent improvements, and not deductable.
7. The whole amount expended for fer
tilizers, applied during the year to the
farmer’s lands may be deduc ed, but no
deduction is allowed to fertilizers pro
duced on the farm. The cost of seed
purchased for sowiDg or planting may be
deducted.
8. If a person fells timber standing,
the profits are to be ascertained by esti
mating the value of the land after remo
ving the timber, or from the sum thus
obtained, deducting the estimated value
of the land on the 1st of January, 1862,
or on the day of purchase, if purchased
since that date.
9. Where repairs have been made by
the tax payer upon any buiiding owned
by him, they are deducted from the year
for which his income is estimated.
10. A farmer should make a return of
all hia produce sold within the year, but
a mere executory contract for a sale, de
livery, either actual or constructive, is
essential. The criterion by which to
judge whether a sale is complete or not,
is to determine whether the vender still
retains in that character, a right over the
property; if the property were lost or
destroyed, upon which ot the parties, in
the absence ot any other relation between
them thau that of the vender and vendee,
would the loss fall.

Good Sense.—It will preserve us from
censoriousness ; it will lead us to distin
guish circumstances; will keep us from .
looking after visionary perleetion, and j
make us see things in their proper light.;
It wiil lead us to study dispositions, pecu- j
iiarities, accommodations ; Jo weigh con- ■
sequences, to determine what to observe, j
and what to pass by ; when to yield. It
will produee good manners, keep os from
taking freedoms and handling things
roughly; wiil never agitate claims of supe
riority, bat teaches us to submit ourselves
one to another. Good sense will lead
persons to regard their own duties, rather
than to recommend those of others.
