J'When It was raging jn England- a
few years ago, I accompanied Dr.
Field on his round to witness tho
8&callef wonderful cures he per
formed, while tho patients of others
dropped off on all sides. All he
took with him was powdered sul
phur and a quill, and with these he
cured every patient without excep
tion. He put a teaspoonful of flour
of brimstone into a wine glass, of
water and mixed it with bis finger,
instead of a spoon, as the sulphur
does not readily amalgamate with
water." When the sulphur was well
mixed he gave it as a gargle, and in
ten minutes the patient was out of
danger. Brimstone kills every
species of fungus in man, beast and
plant, in a few minutes. Instead f
spitting out the gargle, he recom
mended the swallowing of it. In
extreme cases in which he had been
called just in the uick of lime, when
the fungus was too nearly closed to
allow the gargling, he blow' the
sulphur through a quill into the
throat, and after the fungus bad
shrunk to allow of it, then the garg
ling." If the patient cannot gargle,
take a live coal, put it on a Bhovel
and sprinkle a spoonful or two of
the flour of brimstone at a time on
it ; let the sufferer inhale it, holding
the head over it, and the fungus will
die. If plentifully used tho wholo
room may be filled almost to suffo
cation, and the patient will be able
to walk about in it, inhaling the
fumes, with the doors and windows
closed. Tho modo of fumigating a
room with sulphur has often cured
most violent attacks of cold in the
head, chest, etc., and i6 also recom
mended in cases of consumption and
asthma." "Ex.
We regret that the Republican
State convention of Pennsylvania,
which met at Harriaburg on the 4th
insL, felt it to be its duty to instruct
its delegates to the uational Repub
lican convention to vote for General
U. S. Grant as the presidendial can
didate. The probable bad feeling
which this action will engender will
last to the end of the next presiden
tial contest, and by no light in which
we can view the subject is it calcu
lated to produce either good feeling
or harmony in the Republican ranks.
We can characterize this action of
tho Pennsylvania convention in no
milder terms than the unwise pro
ceeding of a body of men under the
influence of partizan office-holders
and office-seekers. Tho delegates to
the uational convention should bo
selected from intelligent, honest, in
dependent and fearless voters of the
states aud left free from tho influ
ence of any instruction, so that they
can cast their votes, after comparing
notes, for the best and most availa
ble man.
On the final vote in tho Pennsyl
vania convention to instruct the
delegates to the Chicago convention,
tho resolution for Gen. Grant was
adopted by a voto of 143 to 113
against.
Last week a lady came to St.
Louis who gave her name as Retta
Ilgenfritz and applied to Witten &
Helm, detectives, for employment,
claiming that she was a detective,
and from letters she bore and her
condensation no one could doubt her
profession. She was promised work
and went to the Garret House to
stop. She claimed to have been
married but had been divorced from
her husband. She stated she had a
little girl who was living with her
grandmother in Davenport, la. She
was a nico looking aud intelligent
woman, but from some cause un
known committed suicide by taking
morphine at her room at the Gar
ret House.
We have heard rumors for some
tim past that the U. P. intended to
abandon its route through Pierce
county to Niobrara, and now this
report seems to be fully verified.
The U. P. will now build from Nor
folk to Sioux City, and will com
mence grading just as Boon as spring
opens. This move, if carried out,
will be of incalculable benefit to
Boone county, for it will give us an
almost direct line to the great lum
ber district via Sioux City, and also
insures the Albion road as being the
main line to the Black Hills, placing
us on what is destiucd to be one of
the great thoroughfares of tho WeBt.

This is the way politicians are
trying to manufacture public senti
ment for honest voters. The Mary
laud republican committee sends
word to Pennsylvania that the nom
ination of Grant will be openly bol
ted. Similar throats are published
from promineut leaders in Delaware,
New Jersey and Massachusetts.
They might just as well go a little
further at once, and declare that
they will openly bolt the election of
any other republican, for in plain
English that's what theymean.
Last week a terrible snow and
wind storm Tisited New York. At

storm at several places along the
coast is represented as terrific, and
the buow fell in many places from a
foot to fifteen inches deep.

"Whatever they may say of Sena

the interests of his constituents and
his state, cannot be gain-said. Wher
ever there is a chance to score a
point for Nebraska, there Senator
Paddock may be fppnd."
