A STRAIGHTFOmVAUD MANLY LETTER RECOGNITION OF THE SOUTIl's PLACE IN THE UNION NO MORE BAYONT RULE POLITICAL REFORM. Hon. "William A. Wheeler, the Republi can nominee for Vice President, has ac cepted the Cincinnati nomination in the following letter : M alone, July 15, 1S7G. The Hon. Edward McPhcrson and others of the Com mittee of the Republican Xational Conven tion Gentlemen : I received on the 6th intft. your communication advising me that I had been unanimously nominated by the Xational Convention of the Republican party, held at Cincinnati on the 14th ult., for the office of Vice President of the United States, and requesting my acceptance of the same, and asking my attention to the summary of Republican doctrines contained in the platform adopted by the convention. A nomination made with such unanimity implies a confidence ou the part of the con vention which inspires my profound grati tude. It is accepted with a sense of the responsibility which may follow. If elec ted I shall endeavor to perform the duties of the office iu the fear of the Supreme Ruler and in the interest of the whole couu- tr To the summary of doctrines enunciated by the convention I give my cordial assent. The Republican party, has intrenched in the organic law of our laud the doctrine that liberty is the supreme, unchangeable law for every foot of American soil. It is the mission of that party to give full effect to this principle by "securing to every American citizens complete liberty and exact equality in the exercise of all civil, J political and public rights." This will be accomplished only when the Americau citi zen, without regard to color, shall wear this panoply of citizenship as fully and as securely in the cauebrakes of Louisiana as on the banks of the St. Lawrence. Upon the question of our Southern relations, my views were recently expressed as a member of the Committee of the United States House of Representatives upon Southern Affairs. Those views remained unchanged, aud were thus expressed : W'c of the Xorth delude ourselves iu ex pecting that the masses of the South, so far behind in many of the attributes of enlight ened improvement and civilization, are, in i i the brief period of ten or fifteen years, to be transformed into our model Xorthern communities. That can only come through a long course of patient waiting to which no tne can now set certain bounds. There will be a good deal of unavoidable friction, .which will call for forbearance, and -which will have to be relieved by the template, fostering care of the government. One of the most potent if not indispensable agen cies in this direction, will be the devising of some svstcm to aid in the education of the masses. The fact that there arc whole counties in Louisiana in which there is not olitary school house, is full of suggestion. We compelled these people to remain in the Union,- and now duty and interest de mand that we leave no just mean untried to make them good, loyal citizens. How to diminish the friction, how to stimulate the elevation of this portion of our country, ire problems addressing themselves to our best and wisest statemanship. The founda tion fur these efforts must be laid m satis- 'ying the Southern people that they are to stimulated by the recollection of its past achievements, remembering that, under God, it is to that party that wc arc in debted, in this Centennial year ot our ex istence, for a preserved, unbroken Union ; for the fact that there is no master or slave throughout our broad domaius, and that emancipated millions look upon the ensign of the Republic as the symbol of the fulfilled declaration that all men are created free and equal, and the guaranty of their own equality, under the law, with the most highly favored citizen of the land. To the intelligence and conscience of all who desire good government, good, will, good money and universal prosperity, the Republican party, not unmindful of the ira perfectiou and shortcomings of human or ganizations, yet with the honest purpose of its masses promptly to retrieve all errors and to summarily punish all offenders against the laws of the country, confidently submits its claims for the continued support of the American people. Respectfully, William A. Wheeler. Live Within Your Income. BLANK MORTGAGE F.t sali' at this Office If you earn but 1.50 a day make $1.00 pay your expenses. There is a young man in this city who is making but $'J a week ; he has a comfortable room with many books and ornaments, and he boards in a very re spectable house, dresses well, goes with good society and is popular. There is an other who has been ten years in a bank ; beginning at a salary of 500, he has re ceived almost annual advances until he now has $3,000 a year. And this man, so high ly favored, has never been out of debt. When his salary was $700 he lived on $800; when $1,000, he expended $1,300 ; when $2,000, he spent yearly $2,300, and now, at the monthly pay of $250, he frequently has small bills presented which he cannot promptly discharge and notes become due which lie canuot honor, lie lives in a com modious house, expensively furnished, keeps several servants, drives fast horses, and owus a yacht. In addition to all these crea ture comforts he has put a contract into the builder's hands for a sea-side cottage' to be ready for next season. To sit down at this man's dinner you would imagine he was a millionaire, so great is the display of silverware, and the indulgence in expensive luxuries. In conversation, a short time since, he expressed regret mat, wmic a youth, he had fallen into habits of extrava gance from which he has never been able to escape. From the first, to feel a want was to obtain a way by some strategy or other so satisfy the craving. There is everything in a young man be ginning right and disciplining the mind to do without what is not necessary. Every craving beyond your cash resources should be strangled at its birth. Ouce in the meshes of debt it is impossible to extract yourself; you get deeper and deeper into the net Eatins Fruit We hardly know how to account for the popular impression that still prevans m many rural districts that the free use of fruit is unfriendly to health. It has much to do with the scarcity of fruit gardens and orchards in the couutry. As a matter of fact, cities and villages are better supplied with fruit the year round than the sur- rounding countr I here are hundreds ot farms, even in the oldest parts of the land, where there is no orchard, and the only fruit is gathered from a few seedling apple trees grown in the fence-corners. The wants of cities are supplied not so much from the proper farming districts as irom a lew men iu their suburbs who make a business of nrrrtTcii-nr friiif fiir rreirkpf Tbr fSirniors P - . who raise a good variety ot small truit tor the supply of their own families are still the exception. The villager, with his quarter or half-acre lot will have his patch of strawberries, his row of currants aud raspberries, his grape vinos and pear trees, and talks intelligently of the Taricties of these fruits. His table is well supplied with these luxuries for at least half the year. Rut there is a lamentable dearth of good fruit upon the farm, from the want of con viction that it pays. It docs pay in per sonal comfort and health, if in nothing else. The medical faculty will bear testimony to the good influence of ripe mats upon the animal economy. They regulate the ss tem better than anything else and forestall many of the diseases to which we are liable in summer and fall. A quaint old gentle man of our acquaintance often remarks that apples are the only pills he takes. He takes these every day in the year when they tan be found in the market, and fills up the in tervals between the old and new crop by other fruits. lie has hardly scon a sick day in forty years and pays no doctor's bill. We want more good fruit, especially upon our farms, and t lie habit of eating fruit at our meals. This is just one of the matters Jn which farmers' wives can exert an in fluence. Many a good man would set out fruit trees and bushes if he were only re minded of it at the right time. One right time will be this autumn at least, in all but the very coldest parts of the country. few dollars invested then will bring abundant returns in from one to five years. It is more intimately connected with good morals than our philosophers think. With good digestion it is quite easy to fulfil the law of love. American Agriculturist. Arrest of Counterfeiters.- How to Treat Sunstroke. Sunstroke is caused by excessive heat, and especially if the weather is "muggy." It is more apt to occur on the second, third; or fourth thy of a heated terui than on thes first. Loss of sleep, worry, excitemen, close sleeping rooms, debility, and abuse of stimulants predispose. It is rnu'eh more apt to attack those working" in the sun, and especially between .the' hours of eleven o'clock in the li'oTnlng and four o'clock in the afternoon. On hot da-s wear thin clothing. Have as cool sleeping ro6ms sis possible. Avoid loss of sleep and all un necessary fatigue. If working in dobrSand where there is artificial heat, see that the room is well ventilated. If working hi ihti surf Wwr a light hat (not Mack; as it absorbs the heat) arid put inside of it ort the head a wet cloth or a large green' leaf ; frequently lift the h'at from the head and fee that the cloth is wet. Do not check perspiration, but drink what water you need to keep it ftp, as perspiration prevent? the body from being overheated. Have wherever possible an additional shade, as a thin umbrella, when walking, canvas or board cover when working in the sun: When much fatigued do not go to work; or be excused from- work, especially after eleven o'clock in the morning on very hot days, especially if the work is in the sun. If a feelrng; of fatigue, dizziness, headache or exhaustion occurs, cease work immedia tely, lie down iu- a shady and cool place; apply cold cloths to aud pour cold water' over head and neck. If any one is over come by the heat give the person cool drinks? of water or cold black tea or cold coffee,- if able to swallow. If the skin is hot and dry, sponge with or poor cold water over the body aud limbs, and apply to the head pounded ice wrapped in a towel or other cloth. If there is no ice at hand keep a cloth on the head, and pour cold water on it as well as ou the body.

Merrill, of Boston, id an' address before the American Chemical society on Thursdav night. Mr. Merrill contended that every larirp in the land when burning, iu a temperature of seventy-five or eighty degrees, oil of the igniting test required: by law 110 degrees is iu an explosive condition and uee'ds" but ignition in the' in the bowl to produce disaster. Many scientific men, the speaker said, had sup posed that the flash point was the point of safety, tut he demoirt rated by experiment to the satisfaction of h'rs aiSdien'ee that it is thirty or thirty-five degrees' below the igniting point. Oil after burning fifteen: or twenty minutes, will produce an explosive gas". It was zteo demonstrated that oil with an igniting point of 150 degrees is in explosive condition when- btrrrrcd inclosed as in lanterns on shipboard and in railway cars. Xaptha, the speaker claimed to be the most dangerous of all preparations of petf 'oleum. A sample of it at seventy de grees was subjected to the test usually applied by retail dealers to satisfy cus tomers. A lighted match was applied to' au open vessel of it without ignition takr ing place.' A small portion of it was put into a can, shaken itp aud a light intro duced, when an explosion! occurred, show ing that the stuff beomeS- explosive upon: mixing with the oxygen of the atmosphere.' The speaker claimed that oil should stand test of 300 degrees m1 order to be safe and that no device could be contrived which woukl remler safe the burning of an article inherently 6aiigerb?s. Where so much oil is burned, as there w m the' small towns and rural districts of the country not sup plied with gas, it is well to mind every word of caution uttered against the use of fare and prosperity are dependent upon true money as the basis of their pecuniary transactions, all demand the scrupulous ob servance of this pledge : and it is the duty t)f Congress- to supplement it with such le gislation as fhall be necessary for its strict fulfillment.

There should be the strictest economy in the expendi tures of the government consistent with its ef fective administration, and all unnecessary offices should be abolished.

Are Two Heads Better Than One ? In the redwoods, about ttfentv miles' from Petal uma, there lives a family who have a female child about eight years old,- which tjas two well-d-Veloped and perfectly formed heads and necks. According ta this- correspondent, the necks unite where the necks join the backbone , and from that point tVownward to all appearance it is the body of but one child. The two heads are called Dollie and Ollie. Dolle has rich brown hair, dark hazel eyes, and is a brunette. Ollie has a fair skin, auburn hair and litre eyes'.
