bo far as heard from, the Advertising
Scheme of this enterprising Arm Is a dead
failure. At the tlrst glance at their propo
sition, we thought we saw some good
chances bristling out for some neighbor
ing journals, and we hastened to oall
attention to them. But It seems that all
of them don't want machines; and one of
them objects to anything—even “land,"
or well written "letter*," when they have
to lie paid for In its wares. ‘ In some par
ticulars we differ from some of the Press;
for we do waut land, much laud, and
don't care much If It is In the "Jarsoys,”
If It Is good—and for such stock we will
always try to find a little “space” In our
paper, for a trade. We are willing to
trade space somotimes—even withs clever
sowing maehlno man. But space was a
secondary consideration with Wlllcox A
Gibbs; they wanted genius and space, only
as a Hold for competing genius to sproad
Itself in—and It is for the genius, accord
ing to grade, that they propose to pay-
Now, while wo have the space, we disclaim
the genius; and those who have the
genius, ami decline to dedicate the space,
must iind "prizes” elsowhore—if they
can.

This new troupe will be hero on Satur

here, established a reputation so good,
that to simply announce their coming
would seem to bo sufficient, but we pub
lish a notice of them In another place, cut
from an exchange, that those who have
not seen them may know what is said of
them by tlioso who have soon them.
No small part of tho success of this
troupe may be attributed to tho admira
ble management of Wm. Foote, Jr., gen
eral manager, who makes his arrange
ments with a skill that donotos much ex
perience; and O. H. Carter, the stage
manager, who contrives to keep hls audi

Little Delaware Is without a penitentia
ry, and has never felt tho want of one.
Her inodes of punishment have been tho
whipping-post and pillory. For years
she has borne the taunts and jibes of the
country for adhering to this system. Hhe
has beard It denounced as "cruel," “bar
barous,” "unchristain,” and "disgrace
ful.” Thiß sort of criticism had no effect.
Delaware was willing other people should
entertain their own views, while she had
no Idea of departing from hers. A few
humanitarians in the State have so far
prevailed as to have a bill introduced Into
the Legislature providing for the erection
of a State Prison. It meets with strong
opposition among the people, who doclaro
that thore are not enough criminals in
the State to support such an institution,
and that the smallness of their number is
attributable entirely to the existing sum
mary and severe manner of chastisement,
Tills sort of argument has Its effect, and it
Is considered very doubtful if the bill can
pass. Certainly It will not, unless it can
be demonstrated to the satisfaction of tho
public that a State Prison can be mndo to
pay. Possibly If Delaware had a few of
our blackmailing gentry within her bor
ders to deal with, she would be still more
loth to abolish the whipping-post.— Call.

CITY MiI,CM.
City Mills sill flnu whit* Meal to-day,
at 80cts. sacks returned, or 65cts Backed,
and| branded J. N. Embry's Una Meal.
I make not this offer In a cut-throat, sar
castic manner, but In a defensive style. I
was told day before yesterday, that our
Eraptre'triend was offering Meal at fiActs.
I thought surely this was a mistake, but
Hind to my surprise that It Is n solid,
bonified fact. Yesterday as I was walk
ing thefstreet, I was asked time and again
what are you selling Meal at to-day? My
reply sometimes, was as low us any ono
else, and finally straight out, OOcts. Some
have said tome, what Is the matter wilh
you m'll men? Others have said, the
Empire Intends to run you out, Ac. I
will just say In answer to the various
questions and rotnai ks, that I did not go
into the milling business to run any
one out, or to light against any one;
but to make a good honest living
by bard labor. And farther If I felt
a little like lighting, I would not have the
Impudenco to challenge an "Empire";
but will sAy, if I must ettber llgnt or run,
lam a poor hand to run, so I will be
obliged to stand lirm, and struggle until I
am either overcome or win a victory,
unless we can bring about terms of peace.
I never was In favor of war, If it can be
avoided without compromising principles
or rights. In this case I feel that the City
Mill has as much right to sell Meal as any
mill in or around Columbus. I believe it
is the oldest mill of any other. When I
was a boy, thirty-live or forty years ago,
l used to come to Columbus, and remem
ber seeing a large sign about where the
North and South depot now is, with a
hand pointing up the river to City Mills.
What mill that has been reared in our
midst within the last fifteen years, has
any right to run us out? I believe it Is
universally conceded by dealers and con
sumers that the City Mills is now making
the best Meal by considerable odds of any
mill except our friend Gen. Chilton. I
will just say here that tho General and I
are good friends, and I have no disposi
tion or inclination to fall out with him.
When I first embarked in this businoss
the General met me on tho street, with a
smile on hls lace, and said he hoped I
would make my business a success. Amt
ho has on one or two occasions accommo
dated me to some corn, when my stock
had run short. It is well known that the
General's mill makes good meal, and thut
meal has been sought alter and known
by the name of Clapp’s meal. Our inten
tion Is not to make better meal than Gen.
Chilton, but to make as good as
his, or any one else. It is known by a)',
that as a general thing water mills make
better meal than steam. I could explain
this satisfactorily to all, but it would
require too much space for this article, so
1 will not attempt it now. It answers our
purpose at present to say that It is so, and
everyone knoics it to be so.
We will say in conclusion that wo hope
there will be no war between tbo Empire
and ourselves, for we feel unable to con
tend with an Empire. But if the war Is
forced upon us, we will havo to do as the
man of Macedonia did, when the Gospel
was about to lie introduced Into that
Kingdom. He cried to St. Paul In a vision
In the night, saying, “Come over and help
us." We will raise the Macedonian cry,
and say to our Merchants and Consumers,
“Como over and help us,” pledging our
selves thut you shall have Fine Meal,
Whito Meal, and Good Meal at Bottom
Prices, if we have to run day and night to
till your orders. J. N. Embry.

Treatment ol DipliiSierla.
A Chicago physician writes to the Tri
bune of that city an account of his treat
ment of diphtheria, as follows:
1. Immediately ou its appearance I
place the patient, if ho be an adult, on
twenty-grain doses of the derate dis
solved in hot water, and administered
every half* hour for the first six hours
after which the same dose every hour, day
and night, until the disease Is arrested.
The dissolved salt should be held in the
throat a few seconds before swallowing
it.
2. When tho ash-eolored spots begin to ap
poar on the tonsils and back of tho throat,
I touch them with a solution of nitrate of
silver of the strength of a drachm to an
ounce of water, applied by a camel's hair
pencil. A single application is usually all
that is necessary.
8. I keep the nostrils free, and cleanse
them from the obstructing secretions by
frequently injecting them with a satura
ted solution of the chlorate, applied warm,
and thrown up with sufficient force to pass
it through to the throat.
4. Lastly, I direct the patient to inhale
the vapor of hot water, medicated by the
addition of a few drops of fluid extraot of
stramonium, belladonna, and confum,
which keeps the throat moist, allays irri
tation, and acts as a sedative fermenta
tion within the windpipe.
This treatment, aided by strong,
flourishing diet—very salt beef tea- and
attention to the stomach and bowels, has
proven with me an absolute specific for
diphtheria. Although I treat great num
bers of cases, I have not had in my prac
tice a death from this disease in years.
In children the doses must of course be
proportioned to the age. For a child of 1
year and under, I give one grain of tho
salt, and add an additional grain to tho
dose for each additional year of age—
thus, three grains to a child of 3 years, live
to one of 5 years, and so on up to 20. The
doses must be repeated every half-hour
for tho first six hours, after which every
hour, as in adults.
In the treatment of disease experience
is the only sate guide. My experience,
drawn from the treatment ot a vast num
ber of cases of diphtheria, justifies me in
saying tiiat, if administered in proper
doses and persevered in, the chlorate of
potassium will seldom fail, and when it
fails in the hands <>f others it is because it
is not given in sufficiently large doses or
olten enough repeated.

The Minstrels ljut Night.
Florid* Uuton.l
Metropolitan Hall was densely crowded
lost night to witness the performance of
Jack Haverly’s Minstrels, and a better
satisfied audience has never, perhaps,
been gathered together In this city.
.Every part of the programme was carried
out perfectly, and continuous roars of
laughter greeted every comicality pre
sented. The musio was excellent, the
dancing superb, and the jokes fresh and
sparkling. Nothingstale and threadbare,
but much of genuine wit and humor was
presented, and after the performance was
closed the remark was repeatedly heard
among the dispersing crowd that a better
troup of minstrels had never performed
In this city.
In the first part Mr. Shepard sang a
sweet little song, entitled "Waiting, Essie
Dear,” and O. 11. Carter sarig tho “Beau
tiful Girl of Kildare,” both of which were
fully appreciated, as well as “Linger
Near Me, Darling," by Charles Wilson.
Tho numerous and comic songs by
Charley Boyd and Hank Goodman, the
end men, were very amusing, and the
audience was kept In continual laughter
by their comicalities, and the Skidmore
Guards brought down the house to parox
ysms of laughter.
The Cornet Duet, by Benjamin and Bar
nett, was exquisitely rendered and high
ly appreciated.
Frank West, with hls banjo solo, took
the house by storm, and was recalled
again and again. And Frank Goodman,
In original song and dance, gave the
greatest delight to ever) body.
The clarlonette solo, by Henry Pfaff,
was in the highest style of art, and show
ed wonderful skill on hls instrument.
Boyd and Wade were perfectly at home
In their clog-dance, and their “sketches”
were inimitable. And Shepard, In his op
eratic celebrities, was superb; and the
duet by Carter and Shepard was received
with great favor.
The closing extravaganza, as a finale,
left everybody to go home aching with
laughter, to dream over the fun they had
witnessed, and long for the coming again
of these Minstrels.

The Electric Plant of Nicaragua.
—A plant, supposed to be new, has been
found in Nicarugu, which, if what is said
ol it be true, it is a great vegetable curiosi
ty. It has been named ' Phytolacca
Electrica.” It is said to possess very
pronounced electro magnetic properties.
The hand is sensibly benumbed upon
touching the shrub, and the magnetic in
fluence is felt at a distance of seven or
eight Icet. The magnetic needle is sensi
blv perlurbated, becoming more and more
so'until it reaches the centre of the shrub,
when the disturbance is transformed into
a very rapid gyratory movement. The
intensity of the phenomenon varies wilh
the hours of the day, and at night it is
hardly perceptible. It attains its max
imum about 2,p. m. In stormy weather
the energy of the action is augmented.
No insects or birds have been seen on the
shrub.
