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.

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

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.
If the person- is- pule; very faint, ami
pulse feeble, let him inhale ammonia Tot vt
few seconds, or be given a tablcspoonful of
aromantic spirits of ammonia (hartshorn)
in two taHespoonful of writer with a little?
sugar.-

Between 5.000 arid G,000 people per
ished in thk country last year, victims of
kerosene' oil a'ccrdei-tsv So said Mr. Ru
fus S. 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

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'. They can each con
verse with different persons on different
subjects at the same time, and are well in
formed and intelligent. This certainly is a
great curiosity, and it seems marvelous that
