^SIATIC cholera IN CHINA
Almost Every Otoe Cured With
PAIN-KILLER!!
Peak Silts : During a residence of some
ten vears in Siam and CUiua, as a missiona¬
ry, 1 tound your Paia-Ki lot a most valuable
remedy for that fearful scourge the Cholera.
Iu a lmit-istering the medic.ne 1 found it
most effectual to give a tea-spoonful of Pam
Killer in » gill of hot water sweetened with
su ar ; then, alter about fi'tceu minutes, be¬
gin to give about a tablespoon I ul of the same
mixture every few minutes until relief is ob
tained. Apply hot the applications stomach with to the Pain ex¬
tremities. Bathe the
Killer, clear, and rub the limbs briskly. Of
those who had the Cholera, and took the
medicine faithfully, in the way stated above,
eight out of toil recovered.
REV, R TELFORD.
Missionary in China
Dear S ns : Dicing a long ic Hence in
China l haw used your valuable I’ein Kil¬
ler, both in my own family and among the
Chinese, and have found it a most excellent
medicine. In the Summer of 1802 and 1803
while residing in Shanghai, I found it an al
m. at curtain cure for Cholera, if used iu
time. Indeod, using it in a g.eat many iu
stances, I do not remember tailing in a sin
gle case. For three years I have been re¬
siding in this place, more than fif y mi’c*
from a physician, and have been obliged of
t- n to fad upon my own resources in cases
of sicknva-. The Chinese come to us in
great jiumbcrs for mcdicLae and advice.—
Tin u,h wit ho it medical knowledge our¬
selves, Dio few- sniplo remedies wc can com¬
mand at e «o much in ndvance even of their
physicians, that we have almost daily appli¬
cations We allow them to come, because
it brings us in contact with them and opens
a door of usefulness. In diarrhoea, colic,
vomeiing, Killer choUr a , coughs, etc, your Pain
has been *,y chief medicine.

Those using Pam-Killer should etriciiy
obs, rye the fol owing dir- clious ;
At the commencement of the disease,
take a tcaspooiilul of the P* in Killer, in su¬
gar and water, and then hatha freely across
the s oniach and bowels w.tli the Pain-Kil¬
ler clear. bhould tbe d.nrrhea and cramp
con'iuuc, repeat the dose every filtccu miu
utis. In this way the drcadtul scourge may
be checked and tho patient relieved in the
course ol a very few hours.
N. B.—Ho sure and get the genuine ar¬
ticle ; i nd it is ret'ommeuded by those who
have used the Pain-Killer lor tho Cholera,
that iu extreme cates the patieul take two
(nr more) te .spoontrls instead of one.

Grange Secrets Revealed —
How Initiations are Con¬
ducted.
On being brougit into the ante-room
of the lodge (Greengrocer Touiplo, No.
101,) 1 was told that I had bet n bal¬
loted lor and accepted. My informant,
who was securely masked by what I al
terwards learned was a large burdock
leaf, perforated with boles for the cyrs,
told me that if I valued iny life it would
bo necessary for me to strip, As I did
consider that considerable worth to me,
and as he italicised bis. wishes by care¬
lessly playing with a seven-shooter,
I withdrew from ray garments with
eagerness. My masked friend then
furnished me with the regalia of the
first degree-called the ‘‘Festive Plough
boy”—which consisted merely of one
large cabbage leaf attached to a waist¬
band of potato vines, in this airy
costume I was conducted fo tho door,
where my companion gave three dis¬
tinct raps. (I was securely blindfolded
by binding a slioe of rutabage over each
eye.) A sepulchral voice flora within
asked : “Who comes ?”
My guida auawered, “A youthful
agriculturist who desires to become a
granger.” voice—Have
Sepulchral ? you looked
him carefully over noble
Guide—I have, gate-keeper,

marks ubout his person
Guide—I do.
8. Guide—The V.—What are they ?
candidate has carroty
hair, reddish whiskers and a turnup
nose.
8. V.— 'Tis well. Why do you de?
sire to become a granger ‘t
Guide, (am wiring ftr candidate,)—
That I may thereby be the better en¬
abled to harrow up the feelings of the
rascally politicians.
8. V.—You will bring in the can¬
didate. My worthy sitiplim, as you
cannot sec, I will cause you iO feel that
you are re C«ved at the 'cloor on the
three points ol'a pitchfork, piercing the
region of the stomach, which is to teach
you the three great virtues—faith, hope
and charity. ^|ehinciy. iu yourself, and char¬ hope
for cheaper farm
ity for the hghtniii||mil peddler. You
will now be hardened, and, in repre¬
sentation of the horse Y'egasus, will bo
tested as to endurance anil wind.

is also supposed to indicate the seat of

teacher hunted for braius with the

applied, as I said before, to the stom¬

the application is an agricultural one,

Origin of Familiar Words
The word ‘-quiz,” to uiakefuu of, or
poke fun at a person, was the coinage
of the lather of lliohurd Brinsley Sher
idan, at the time a theatrical mauager
in Dublin, At a drinkiug party with
his friends, ouo Saturday night, where
the couversation turned upon the sub
ject of words, he offered to bet the wine
that he could then and there coin a
word which would bo in the mouths of
all Dublin next day. The bet being
taken and the p rly dispersed, Sheridan
called up his runners and call boys,
gave them pieces of chalk, and ordered
them to ruu all over the city chalking
the word “quiz” one very door, shutter,
and fence they came to. This was
done, and as a mutter of course the
new word was in everybody’s mouth
the next day. The manager won his
bet, and the word is now in all respect¬
able dictionaries.

Methodist General Conference.
* The Louisville Camme, rial has this tq
say with reference to the Gpoer^l Con¬
ference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, to be held iu Louisville,
Ky, the first of May:
It will be composed of nearly fiyo buns
died members, half of them the most
di tinguished ministers of the denom¬
ination, and half its most prominent lay
members. The assemblage of the Con¬
ference will attract besides rnapy hup#
<1 reds of visitors iutciesed in its delib¬
erations, and anxious to see its mom i
bers. The whole South will send rep¬
resentatives to Louisville, and our city
is not likely again in a long time, to
have an opportunity to form and cement
so many valuable friendships as this
General meeting Oonfeienco will giv • opportunity likely for. The
is not to meet
here again for a generation. Its ses¬
sions are held only once iu four years,

odist Episcopal Church South, at (lip
time when the great division in the
Methodist Episcopal Church took plaoG,

Lo isville’s turn to ontertain another

the last General Conference of that
body, bold at Brooklyn, having provided
for such representatives. It would be
a gratifying coincidence if Louisvil)o,
which was the phice where the division
in this greatveligious body took definite
and prominent form, should be tho
place where a movemout for reunion
was inaugurated.

Kefiiudiug Hie Cotton Tax.
A Washington letter to the Louis,
vi 11 c Courier Journal says the friends
of the measure for refunding tho cotton
t ix are moving in Older to secure its
consideration at Ihc picsent session of
Congress. There session, is now, as conviction tliero was
at tlie list a strong
that this money was wrongfully and
unconstitutionally extorted from tho
cotton Statis at a time whan their
prostrate condition dictated a wholly
different policy.
The great difficulty in the way of
securing payment in tho last Congress
was the strength of the sectional preju¬
dice still existing against those iStates
for seceding fioni the Union ; but this
feeding would probably not have proved
sufficient to defcit the claim, if tho
friends of tho refunding measure had
been aide to agreo among themselves
about tho payment of tho money. Tho
associations of cotton factors who had
spout their time and monoy Washington in pushing
the claim in tho courts at
insisted that the money should be paid
to tho parties actually holding tho re
ceipts for the tax paid. Some of tho
planters were willing to let the matter
tike this course, but others urged that
they had really paid tho tax, as the
factors had deducted its amount on
paying them for their crops. At this
time several schemes aro pending, Ope
offered by Mr. Cooke of Georgia jure,,
poses to give the money to the State®
in which it was collected, which would
probably ba a very agreeable solution
of tho question to the negroized Legis¬
latures of Mississippi, South Carolina,
and Louisiana. Another bill, offered
by Mr. McKee, corresponds with tho
old bill of last session, which proposed
to pay the persons holding tho receipts itnposr
for taxes paid. In view of the
nihility of pasaing any measures unless
its friends arc all united, some of tho
most influential of tlm Southern repre¬
sentatives have been preparing a com' the
promise bill, designed to secure and tho
rights of both the planters equitable dtvis*
factors by promoting an refunded and it
ion of the sums to be ;
is under-tood that such a bill wilt be
proposeJ. It is certainly tbe only kind
of a cotton tax bill which has a possi?
bility of passing Congress.
