How to Treat Fever,
The Howard Aseooiation of Now Orleans
have made public the following simple
pre|ari*il by a skillful physician of
that city, for the treatment of yellow fever.
They appear to Ire so well adapted to the
alleviation of fevers tfeoerally of u bilious
type-, ns to justify the opinion that they
might be advantageously followed in this
section, as well us whore yellow fever pre
vails. The treatment certainly seems to
tie a very rational one for fever In all its
stages, and where there in no physician at
hand to treat a case in hand, this course
might he followed with good results;
f If the jintient be taken with fever
immediately (one or two hours) after a
meal, give an emetic of mustard, salt and
warm water, one teaspoouful each of for
mer to tumbler of lost.
2. If tho patient has eaten more than
three hours previously, give a dose of
castor oil.
N. R.~lf the uttaek commences with
irritable storaoch. sbstitnte a dose of calo
mel and soda for oil, five graina each for
children, ten grains each for adults
8. If the skin is very dry, give hot foot
baths repeatedly, until perspiration is
induced.
4. If the skin is very hot, whether dry
or moist, sponge the arum, breast mid legs
under the covering with whiskey and water
frequently.
6. The first night of attack gives an
injection of 20 drops of laudanum or Hut
tv’s sedative should there lie rnfieh rest
lessness.
8. If the stomach remains irritable,
apply mustard plaster; if the irritability
continues apply fly blister.
7. If the urine is scanty, give water
melon seed tea freely —half a tea cmi full
every hour. It can bo taken iced if pre
ferred.
8. Keep a 000 l cloth to the head, if hot
or painful.
9. Nothing but warm or cold ten—green
orange leaf or sage—allowed sparingly,
with small pellets of ice occasionally or a
mouthful of cool water, for the first three
days.
10. After the fever has entirely disap
peared, chicken broth, beef ten, milk to be
given in small quantities, gradually in
creasing same as convalescence advances.
11. The patient must not be allowed to
■it up for a wefik, nor take any solid food
whatsoever for ten days after the attack.
A Dor Stealing Story.
The wife of n Loudon attorney lost a
favorite poodle dog, and in her distress
invoked the aid of her liege lord to re
cover the pet. Ho knew the head of the
dog-stealing fraternity professionally, so
Ijo sent for him and told him of his loss.
“Well, Mr. Q. 0.,” was the reply,
“I knows yonr dorg well, and I thinks I
knows how to get, it. But it’s a very wal
uublc dorg—will cost u lot of money. "
“How much?”
“Well, j 880."
“Rubbish."
But after a deal of altercation, Q. C.
agreed to givo £25, whereon his friend
aaid, “You're a gen'clman,” and the bar
gain was struck. “But,” was the adden
dum, “you can't have him for a few
days.”
“Why not?” inquired Q. C.
“Why, yer sees, Q. 0., yer dorg was
only sold fast Monday, to a fold gent for
twenty guineas, and as he's got to he
darned fond of him. wo feels bound to let
him have him a few days afore we tako
him buck again; ho must suinthiug
for his money.”
The dog came back in duo course.
The Bride Who said No at the Altar.
On Hhnday, as the Rev. Mr. German, of
tho United Brethren Church, in York,
I'enn., was conducting tho services at the
Union Church at Yooomtown, York coun
ty, tho sexton handed him a note. After
the sermon was completed the minister
announced he had tlio pleasure of stilting
that a couple in the congregation desired
to bo united in tlio holy bonds of matri
mony, and that the candidates should im
mediately present themselves. There was
a considerable flutter in the assemblage—
every eye staring around to see the happy
couple.’ After some delay a fine and bou
yunt couple came marching up the aisle to
the altar. The reverend gentleman imme
diately proceeded with tho ceremonv, and
the groom answered promptly: “Yes, I
will,” but to the dismay and astonishment
of tlio clergyman and tiie audience, when
it came to the bride's turn, she answered
just os promptly, “No, I will not,” and
smilingly left the church all alone, leaving
the half married man in a quandary what
to do. “Such is life.”
A Jurok Excited.—Recently a juror ap
proached a clerk of the Snprme Judicial
Court and stated that it would be impoaible
tor him to serve.
“Why not?” inquired tlio clerk.
‘ ‘Because I'm deaf, ” responded the juror.
The clerk lmd reason for incredulity,
md informed the deaf man iu a whisper
dint ho would report his case to the Judge.
I'urniug to his honor he said: “Mr. Biul
nan, of Manchester, desires to be ex
rased.”
“What are his reasons?" asked his honor
without raising his eyes from the paper he
rus reading.
“He says he is deaf,” replied the clerk.
“He is excused,” said tho Judge quick
y; “if he is deaf we don’t want him; if he
is a liar, we don’t want him."
Mr. Rail man is at home now. —Nashua
Telegraph.
The man, who answorod an advertise
ment to the following effect, says his ouri
sitv is satisfied:
“If you would learn how to make home
happy, send a postage stamp and twenty
five cents to I’. O. Box, No.—Ouieiunati."
He did send the necessary cash, and
soon received the answer;
“If you are os big a fool as we think you
must lie for giving us your money, you
.-an make homo happy by leaving it and
giing West by yourself.” —Hearth and
ome.
A Deaf Juryman.- The trail of the Cu
ban bank clerks in Brooklyn, New York,
bn the charge of stealing over one hundred
thousand dollars worth of securities, was
brought to au abrupt termination on Tues
day. After the testimony was all in and
the cose given to the jury one of tho twelve
informed his associates that- he oould not
sonaent to any verdict, and when asked
for a reason said he had not heard a word
of the evidence, as he was “stone deaf.”
Frightful Accident. — Charles Board
man. who has for some time past been
Adams Express agent on the midnight train
between Now York and Boston, was acci
dentally killed, Tuesday night, iu New
York. He had put his head out of the
door of the express car, when a horse cor
ran against it causing the door to Rlide to
with such force as to cut- his- head off, so
that it hung only by a little skua.”
Au Indiana woman threw a burglar
down stairs and broke his| neck, under
the impression that it was her hus
band.
Important Bankrupt Decision.
A Richmond dispatch of October 81st
says: In the United States Circuit Court
to-day, in the cases of Oeo. W. Dilland
and others, bankrupts, Judge H. L. Bond
rendered an important decision. The
creditors obtained decrees in the State
Court directing the sale of JDilhmd’s prop
erty. Afterwards Dilland filed a petition
in bankruptcy, and claimed tho homestead
exemption of 82,000, whfph exemption
was allowed in tho United Htates District
Court by Judge Underwood. The credi
tors then carried the ease liefore Judge
Bond by petition, und bo decided the fol
lowing points, which entirely reverse the
ruling of Judge Underwood:
1. When suits are pending in Htate
courts liefore the commencement of bank
ruptcy proceedings, if there bo no sug
gestion of fraud and no interests of gen
eral credit will bo prejudiced, the bank
ruptcy oourt ought not to interfere with
the jurisdiction of the Htate Court.
2. When a bankrupt has made a deed
of trust to secure creditors, he is not enti
tied to any exemption out of the property
conveyed until the deed is satisfied or ad
judged fraudulent as to creditors by Htate
court.
3. When proceedings in bankruptcy
were commenced before the passage of
the Act of March 8, 1872, the bankrupt is
entitled to such exemption only as is al
lowed by laws existing at tho time the pro
ceedings commenced.
4. The amendatory net, so far as it is
declaratory of the Act of 18(17, is void.
5. The rights of bankrupts and credi
tors are fixed according to laws in force
when tho bankruptcy proceedings com
menced, and no subsequent legislation can
affect them.
The Hired Girl.
There is one reason why we should re
gret to have the present troubles with do
mestic servants ended. It is because wo
men derive so much pleasure from discuss
ing the subject. Place two women to
gether, and it makes no difference whero
the conversation starts from, it will lie
perfectly certain to work around to tho
hired girl question before many minutes
have elapsed. We have seen an elderly
honse-keeper, which experience in con
ducting the talk in the direction, break
into a discussion of Pythagoras and the
doctrine of the transmigration of souls,
and switch off the entire debate with such
expedition that an unsophisticated listen
er would for some moments have an indis
tinct impression that the conversation re
ferred to the insufficiency of Pythagoras
us a washer and ironor, and to the ten
dency of that heathen philosopher to toko
two Thursdays out of every week. And
when a woman has on Unusually villainous
hired girl who burns up the coal, wastes
the butter, mixes her hair in the biscuits,
and stuffs her relations with sugar, it is in
teresting to observe how she glories in the
superiority of her sufferings to those of
her neighbors, and how, as she tells of
them, she gloats over her misery and feels
good about it. A woman who lias a re
ally competent servant is always in a con
dition of abject wretchedness on such oc
casions.—Max Adeler.
[From the Augusta Chronicle.]
The Centennial.
Philadelphia teems with as corrupt a sot
of rascally politicians as over disgraced any
city in the United States. The present
administration was elected by fraud and
corruption. At the last election tho vote
cast in the city of Brotherly Love exceed
ed that of New York while the popula
tion of I’hiludclphiu is at least three hun
dred thousand less than that of New York.
Voters were imported from neighboring
cities, false lists were made out, and tho
ballot boxes wore tampered with after the
closing of the various elections; all tho
managers and machinery of the election
being controlled and manipulated by the
Radicals, And this is the city where the
Centennial is to be held—the city from
whence issued the Declaration of American
Independence. Wo fail to sec the fitness
of tho place for the celebrated of tho hun
dreth anniversary of American Indepen
dence —unless it lie the kind of liberty
which tho Radical party gives to the
Southern people as now exemplified in the
States of South Carolina, Florida, Missis
sippi, Louisiana and Arkansas. If that be
its character, Philadelphia is a marvelous
ly proper place for its celebration.
Pioeon Catching in Michigan. —The
business of catching and fattening pig
eons has been reduced to a science, and is
clone on an immense scale in lonia county,
Mich., where two firms have now 2000
dozen. They arc caught iu nets, 450 birds
having been taken at one haul, this sea
son. The net is set up by the side of a
“bed," which is baited with wheat and
com, for some time before the season com
mences. The pigeons soon find these
places and flock to them in immense num
bers. When the time for catching arrives,
a man conceals himself daily in a bower
near the bed, from which a wire passes
to the net, and when a sufficient number
of the birds have come they are bagged.
After this they are confined iu feeding
pens and fattened. They areti.enjkilled and
packed— 80 dozen in a barrel and shipped
to New York, Boston and other cities.
They are now worth #2.50 per dozen at
the Hub.
A NqniJi Sacrifice.— Among the first
who hastened to the relief of the Shreve
port sufferers was a beautiful young lady,
of Philadelphia, who was willing to brave
even the terror of death to give aid and
comfort to the helpless victims of a terri
ble scourge. She was Agnes, the daugh
ter of a tJ. S. Naval officer deceased, and
was adopted by 8. and Agues Arnold, of
Philadelphia, when scarcely three years
old. At Shreveport her noble bravery and
devotion gained for her the title of Angel
Agnes. One night, while walking with a
sick child in her arms, she fell down a
stairway and fractured her spine, and died
in great, agony. Only a few days previous,
her intended husband, who had followed
her to Shreveport, died with the fever.
Both bodies will be brought to Philadol
pliia for burial.
An Alabama Farce.— Out of the pauie
Eufaula has managed to extract some little
excitement, with prospect of more:
During the panic the banking house of
Morton ft Son and E. B. Young V- Son
borrowed several thousand dollars of Eagle
und Phoenix certificates, the merchants of
Eufaula agreeing to take them.
E. M. Keits, who presides over the city
court, refused them, and ordered the Imui
kers to appear before him and answer a
charge of violating the law.
To this demand the bankers turned a
deaf ear, whereupon the negro Sheriff and
a posse of his own color raided upon the
men of money with the intention of carry
ing them away by force. Fortunately
they refused to bo arrested. The tan col
ored official when last heard from was pre
paring to send for troops.
