Yuu ure called upon uiiee more, to make a stand iu defense of jour prin ciples. The party which, by its po litical heresies, plunged this coua'.ry into a bloody war, stands arrayed against you on precisely the grounds which it occupied in 18G0, and pro poses to reopen all the old contrd versies which it was thought had been settled by the war, and- it there fore becomes necessary to sustain at the. polls the governmental policy which has prevailed under a republi can administration. "An undeDIed and restored Con stitution," which is equivalent to the Southern demand for "the Constitu tion an it was." is what the Democ racy uf Ttginsylvania asks for in the recently issued address of its State Committee. It wants to ignore or rule out the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Con stitution, and restore the Constitu tion as it was before the war. It sets an a pietcnce that these amendments jare null and void, and if it should re turn to power we may naturally look for an attempt to enforce a relapse to the condition of things that existed prior to the Rebellion. The reeeut armed uprisings in the South, accompanied by numerous murders, outrages innumerable, open rt bellion, and the establishment of a reign of terror to intimidate the un armed and peaceful citizens, had the full sanction and sympathy of the Northern Democracy, and were plain ly but part of a' general plan to re establish the old order-of things. The part of the Northern Democra cy is to lull the people into a false security, and steal back into place upon false pretences, if possible. The part of the Southern Democracy is to set up a reign of violence, and by su:h an intimidation of the weak as will keep them from the polls, to in stal themselves into offiees to which they could never otherwise attain. The two work together in perfect harmony, and . their joint triumph would u;terly annihilate all the bene ficial results ofthe war. It is thu part of the Republicans of 1'eunsylvania to crush this conspira cy ny "thoroughly defeating those en laced In it, and ther can do this only by rallying heartily to the support of their Slate ticket, ana y coraiaiiy supporting their local nominations. so as to secure the election ci a large majority of the Congressmen and a decisive majority in the Legis lature. The people of Pennsylvania do not want to return to "a restored Consti tution." or the "Constitution aa it was." They do Dot want to come back again under the insolent rule of the Southern Oligarchy, or to put their varied and grand industrial in terests at the mercy of the free trade demacrorrues who control the Demo cratic party. But, stroDg as are their convic tions upon this subject, they can en force" them only iu one way, and that is at the poll3. They must elect men in harmony with tbeir well-known views and interests ; and this can be done only be securing a thorough de feat of the Democratic party. The last Democratic State Conven tion did not dare to open its mouth in favor of protection to American industry, or against the ratification of the Reciprocity Treaty, which is free trade in disguise. It had not the courage to take sides with the party ic other State? on those ques tions, and was equally cowardly in declining to take the other side. On the two great questions which involve t he material interests of the State, the prosperity of its people, and the de velopment of its wealth, it was as silent as the grave. No one doubts that its sympathies are with the ene mies of our material progress, and the rule is as good in this case as in every other "He that is not for us is against us." If, therefore, the people of Penn sylvania want to defend and promote the growth and the prosperity of their State, they will not entrust its desti nies to the hands of a party that dar not open its lips in their favor. The Democratic party of the nation is for free trade, and the out spoken part of it is in favor of repudiation; and it is for the people of Pennsylva nia to decide whether they will again permit such a party to control, and by controlling to ruin, tbeir fu ture prospects. The Republican party of the State has had possession of the Govern ment siDce 1SG1, and has proved in that time its claim to continued pub lic confidence. It has administered the Government honestly, faithfully, economically, and justly. The State has grown with rapid strides under its fostering care; the law9 are every where judiciously enforced; and it needs but the maintenance of the protective policy on the part of the N ational GoTernment, to secure our advance, at an carlr dav. into the front rank of all the States. AY Lea the ReDublicans assumed the reins of the State Government in 1861 they found a State debt of over ?10,000,OG0, and the bpeaking out of the Rebellion entailed an immediate addition to that debt of $3,500,000 for arming the people and defending the State, so that they began their administration wilh the burden of over $43,000,000 of debt. That debt bas now been reduced to $24, 000,000, a reduction in round num- bers of $19,000,000 in thirteen yeara, or $1,500,000 yearly. This reduction ESTABLISHED, 1837. PA.; 'WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21. 1874. has been accomplished by economy and honesty in the administration of the finances, and not by taxation. The State tax on real estate wa3 re pealed in 18G6, and that on personal etate.in 1873, bo that while the State is free from direct taxation it . is still rapidly and steadily extinguishing its debt. Tbi is a handsome record to pre sent, and io a complete answer to all the ridiculous charges that have been trumped up of corruptness and ex-, travagance. The State baa never been better or more honestly man aged under auy administration, and we point to thisrecoro, witn priae in the contrast it presents to the policy which, during the rule of the Demo crats, inflicted upon the State la debt of $40,000,000, accompanied by a heavy burden ot direct taxation. We desire to remind our Republi can friends that the Legislature to be chosen this fall will have in its hands tho election of a United Sta;cs Sena tor for six years. It is of the utmost importance, therefore, tnat ignoring all causes of local distraction, wey should unite actively, firmly and har moniously in behalf of their local candidates for the Legislature throughout the State. Every Demo crat elected to the Legislature in Re publican counties on a local issue, will vote for a' Democrat for United States Senator, and no true Republi can will, by his vote, render Bu'ch a result possible. . . u e also entreat our irienas io pay no heed to the attempt to delude them into the belief that the Republi can party is opposed to the new Con stitution. It was a uepuoiican State Convention which first demand ed a revision of the old Constitution so as to secure the suppression of spe cial legislation; it was a Republican Legislature which called the Consti tutional Convention; the Con3titn tional Convention was itself Republi- can: it was trie iteDuoucan vote oi the State which secured Ihe adoption of the new Constitution; and it was a Republican Legislature which framed the legislation necessary to carry its provisions into effect. The party re cord is too clean upon an tnese points to be questioned or doubted. The depression which has fallen upon the country in the past year has been palmed upon the Government and as the effect of Republican pol ler; but as the same depression was prevalent throughout Europe, it is clear that it must be due to other! causes. The country is already rap idly recovering frero its effects, a re sult which, when panics occurred heretofore, required Beven years to accomplish; and, as the only remedy which Democracy' offers ia free trade and a return to the destructive policy which produced the - ruinous revul sions of 1837 and 1857, the .people will find it much safer to trust to the policy under which the country 19 now recuperating than to fall back upon the exploded one that prevailed under Democratic rule. . We earnestly urge upon our friends throughout .be Commonwealth to wake up to tbe real importance of the pending election, and by energetic work to render certain a Republican victory. Such a victory is not to be won bv supineneas, and folding the bauds in careless neglect of thegreat issues at stake. Victory, if won, must be sought, and not waited for. Active, energetic, unflagging effort is essential to assured success. It is not in the power of tbe Democracy to carry this State of themselves, but carelessness and neglect on our part may aid them. Organization, work, and the culti vation of a spirit of conciliation and harmony where local differences have prevailed, will accomplish much; and we appeal to the Republicans of tbe State, as they love tbeir cherished principles, as they are devoted to the promotion of the material interests of the Commonwealth, as tbey value tne preservation "of the peace of the Union and its perpetuity, as they de sire tbe permineut establishment of the protective policy, as they value honesty, integrity and fidelity in their public servants, to put on a fresh zeal for their sacred and rigbteous cause, to renew their hearty devotion to their principles and tbe welfare of tbe country, and by a strong and de termined rally at tbe polls, to crn6h out at once the hopes of those who would light again the fires of rebellion at tbe South, and tba purpose to co operate with them which animates their Democratic coadjutors at the North. By order of the Republican State Committee. Russell Erhitt, Chairman A3! ADVESTIKE WITH A BOlE ELEPHAST. I bad been settled more than a ytar upon my conee estate in tne wild jungles of Ceylon, when one morning during the idle season, as I stood before my bungalow, gaping, stretching and wondering how I might best amuse myself lor a day, a coolie servant came np to me, heat ed and panting, and placed in my hand tbe following note : " Dear Sie : ill yon -come over at once to my plantation, anu join in the chase or bunt of a 'rogue' ele phant, which is abroad somewhere in this vicinity, aad committing sad dep redations, to the great terror of the natives, who fear him more than tbey do the Evil One? It is tbe doty of every man who can bring a good nerve and a nne, to turn out in de fense, to say nothing of the sport. Hoping to receive a favorable an swer through the bearer Monshee, in case you do not bring it yourself, I am. dear sir, Yours, most truly, Chas. IIoluxgswokth, Mango Hill Retreat" Nothing at the moment could have given me more pleasure than this in vitation to set off in qnest of a rogue elephant for the sport would cer tainly have the spice of danger so necessary to quicken the blood tbat had become too sluggish under the enervating influence of the (welter ing tropics. "Tell your master I am coming Monshee," said I, as I turned sway to get mv nne and ammunition (in cluding zinc balls, for lead is too soft Hbr an elephant bead), and order my horse under saddle in the quickest possible time. naif an hour saw me on my way to Mango Hill Retreat, distant ten miles, with three coolies running alongside and keeping pace with niy impatient galiop : and as I dash along let me tell you what the term "rogue elephant" mean?, in case ycu have never heard of it befcre. In tbe forests and jungles ot Cey lon at tbe time I lived there, there were hundreds ajad. thousands of wild elephant,.' which generally moved about in email herds, and were not usually dangerous to man, though quite destructive to proptrty so much so that tbe government had set a price upon the head of each. In herds, as I have said, these huge animals were but little feared, even by tbfrnatives : but it occasionally so happened, from what canse I bave never been able to learn, that an old tuster would become detached from his companions, And like a maddened human Malay, seemed to devote the remainder of his life to running a muck or, in other words, to attack ing aqd killing every living thing he could reach, whether man or beast; and all from pure, malice from an infernal fury that nothing but bia own death could appease. With one of these furious monsters abroad, no one was safe. Fences were no barrier to bis progress : a coolie hut might be crushed like a shell of an egg ; &i bungalow be brought crashing about tbe ears of its master; and even a whole village has been half destroyed and tb inhabitants put to flight by a single beast In the language of tbe country, this dangerous animal was termed a rogue elephant though mad elephant would bave been by far a more appropriate appellation. When one of these was abroad, it was the duty of every man, as this note to rue expressed, to turn out and bunt him to tbe death ; and I was now hastening forward to perform the part of a good citizen. When about half way between my house and Hollingsworth's.in a wild, romantic part of the country, just where tbe road or path I was pursu ing led down into a dark valley, across a bright stream into a st'ip of level jungle, the coolies running at my side suddenly stopped and yelled out in terror, pointing to some huge fresh footprints, tbat tbe rogue ele phant bas just passed. II ow do you know tnese impres sions were not made yesterday r " I inquired, stopping to examine them. See master," returned a brignt- eyed fellow, called Luneke, pointing to the bushes against which tne nuge body of tbe animal bad pressed ; him brush on dew." "Ah, verr true you are right Well than, he may be near: and Derhapa we mar meet and conquei him alone, which would be a triumph indeed I" " "Him plenty much savage fight like much devil," rejoined Luneke, looking timorously around at his timid companions, evidently willing to forego all glory which could only be gained at so much personal risk. "But I have my rifle," said I, "two barrels zinc balls and .1 am a pretty sure shot ; and if I can find him I am determined to try my band, devil or no devil!" Just at this moment as ii in an swer to my challenge, there came a loud, bellowing, trumpeting roar from the deep jungle before me, followed by the rustling, snapping tnd crash ing sound of aome tremendous body making a quick way through a dense thicket. "Him a coming! him a coming," cried the frightened coolies ; and they all suddenly vanished like the witches of Macbeth, but rather in a thick forest, than "thin air," leaving me to run -or stay, as inclination might prompt I must confess that inclination pleaded for an inglorious retreat, and my galltnt steed was evidently of the same mind, for be wheeled, rear ed, plunged, and would bave gone on like a shot if I bad not sawed him down to a fine dance. How could I shoot from tbe back of such a beast? Whiz ! flash t rush ! what is tbat ? A spotted deer passes me like a bolt of lightning, scared by tbat terriGc trumpeting, which makes even the boldest beast of the forest tremble. Shall I stand and wait tbe onset? for be is evidently coming this way, and will Boon be here. No, my horse ic too restive tbe ground too uncer tain better first get a vie-7 of the monster from tbe top of yonder hill. Away I go, horse and rider of one mind this time, and in a minute I have wheeled upon an elevation that overlooked the spot where I first heard the answering challenge of everybody's foe. There be comes, tusks first and huge ones too, show ing be is an old bull trunk np, trump eting out defiance eyes fiery red and awfully wicked, and tail lashing his sides in fury. Thank beaven there is some distance between us, and I have yet a chance of flight or fight "Better run much, else climb tree good deal, master," says a voice over my bead: and looking up in sur prise, I see Luneke snugly posted in tbe upper branches of a tall tree ; another glance showed Lis compan ions similarly situated to tbe right and left of him. If I fight tbe elephant I must de pend on mrself and horse, and eount nothing on my servants, or any hu man aid. Am I prepared for the risk ? I look down at the mad beast, and be looks up at me, and then with out half the consideration tbat I have taken in the matter, forward be comes, crusting tbe branches, snap piogathe smaller trees like pipe stems, bent on my destruction I It is a little too much of tbe dare ofthe bravado to suit my easily excited and not over amiable temperament; and bo, slipping down from my snorting horse, and passing the bridle over my left arm, I called out in defiance : "Come on, yon savage monster, and ret what vou don't seek. Be it life or death, 1 will bave one shot at you now, and then see who is lord of the forest man, with bis puny strength, and giant intellect, or brute, with his tremendocs physical power, and blind instinct H I aim at bis forehead, but wait for him to come near, with my frighten ed horse polling at tbe bridle and makiog my sight unsteady. On be comes, with bis mad rush and thun Meraid dering crash a ight to make any nervous man's heart flutter like a caged bird, and within twenty paces of me, b?ng ! go both barrels. He is bit in the bead, but not kill prf nn.l miiMr than ever with the sting of pain he flourishes his trunk, ! trumpets forth his wild fury, and in creases his speed, to reach and crash me lik'e a troublesome moth. There is nothing now for it but flight; a few eecoiids more, and he wiM be upon me, aud I shall be anions' the thiog3 that were! Fairly swinging myself upon my horse, with an agili ty" worthy of a Caruanche Indian, I gave my noble brute the spur and rein, and away we go over the hill at break-ceck speed; rocks, bushes, and trees not once considered in our race for life. Seeing my danger, the coolies post ed beyond the reach of tbe elephant, now shout and scream to attract his attention and draw him off from the pursuit. He hear3 the noise, glances upward with his fiery eyes, and turus to seek the nearest foe. The tree of Luneke receives his mat favor ; and rushing at it he butts it with an awful blow with his huge tusks a blow that jars and shakes it lik a small earthquake, makes every limb and leaf quiver, and almost" unseats the poor fellow, who clings to it with all his strength and hopes of life. Then he seizes it with his trunk, bel lows forth h'i3 rage, exerts all his mighty force, and bends and shakes it as I might bend and shake a birch; and then retreating to gather head way, he butts it again, ripping off the bark and goring it with his tusks, but failing to bring down his human P"!7 .. . . ' . . By this time ne seemsno cave lor-s-otten mo altogether. Rut I bave not forgotten him. Checking my horse at a safe distance, I proceed to reload my two barrels, with zinc balls, in the greatest possible haste and before he is satisfied to turn and seek another victim ; I spur my horse to a dangerous vicinity, get bim quiet for a moment, just in the nick of time, and blaze away again, directly at tbe monster's head. This time, thank heaven, my aim wa3 true; and both balls go through his thick skull, and sink into his brain. He stops, staggers, reel3 gets a dim view of me tries to make BUU1UC. imiitt bill's wfc.. totters and falls with a loud crash sending forth the wildest bellows of nam. and then lies so helpless on hi3 side that even a child need no longer fear him. A few half smothered groans, some convulsive jerks, a quivering throughout the great mass, and all is over the body and limbs grow still, and the furious, formida ble, dreaded rogue elephant is dead. No general, after a great victory, ever felt his triumph more triumph antly than I did, aa I quietly walked up, seajed myself on the dead mon ster of the wilderness, and received like a king upon his throne the con gratulations and praises of my joyful servants, who now gathered around me, shouting and dancing. Leaving the beast in their charge, I remounted my horse and finished ny ride, to Mango Hill Retreat, where I found Hollingsworth and I . some half a dozen others only wait ing my arrival to begin tbe perilous buot to which I had been invited. When I told them mj adventure, thev could scarce! v credit my story. and rode back with me to be convinc ed of its truth. The result made a great man of me in all my region ; and propably no one act of my life ever afforded me such satisfaction, taken in all its bearings, as my en counter with, and destruction of that savage rogue elephant. Pawtlnsfr 4lt Cwp le ft ta. lltatorle On the train the other day were a confiding old man and a very inno cent old lady. Ttey had passed five sixths of tbeir lives bidden away be hind ihe bills of Vermont, and were going to Western Michigan, on a visit to tbeir son. After skirmishing around the "old gentleman pitched into me about the crops, "sile" and the weather, and when 1 found how innocent he wa3, I gave him all the information I could. All -at once, as we rode along, the wife caught, bis arm and exclaimed. "Lookout, Samule, or you'll be forgetting the place where tbey fit" I he old man explained. He said that a young man who came down from Canada with them told him to look out for tbe battle-field of Brad dock's defeat a3 soon as he left De troit I was going to reply that the young man was a liar, but the old lady seemed to have set her heart on seeing the spot, and the old man wa3 bo anxious that I could not bear to disappoint them. I pointed out the "battle-field," and they pnt their beads out of tbe windows and took in tbe scene. "Think of it Hanner!' exclaimed the old man, as be drew in his head; "think of them Injuns creeping through tbe woods and shooting Mr. Braddock down dead!" "My soul!" replied the old lady, seemingly overcome at the idea, and she kept her eyes on the woods until I thought she would twist her neck off, We got along all right for about five miles more, and then tbe old man wanted to know if we were not down pretty near the old spot where Te cumseh fell. "Where what?" I yelled, and he said that the same young man bad informed bim that the railroad ran close to the identical spot where the great Indian warrior slept. "It'll be a powerful favor to me an' Samuel if ye'U point out tbe spot!" said the the1 old lady, placing her hand on mv arm. How could I go back on what that brazen young aad man said? The old folks had made up their mindrto see the soot and if I didn't show it to them they might worry for weeks and they might think the young man bad lied, or that I wasn't posted in the historic spots oi my own State. Lord forgive me, but about' a mile farther on I pointed oat a hill, aad said: "R.hlil the last resting place of the ereat Tecumseh!" "Think of it Hanner just think of Wh 6 it?" exclaimed the old man, there is where they gst bim?" NO. IS "Mercy? but it don't seem possi ble!' she ejaculated, and ehe bad to ge; out her snuff box before she could recover from tbe shock. The old gentleman said he bad a Lnarticular interest in seeing tne spot, because he knew the man who killed Tecumseh used to live ' right by him. "He must have been an awful In- 'jun'," broke in the old lady, "for the young man said be didn't die till they cut off his bead, and feet, and bands, and blowed the body np with a bar rel of powder!" I wanted to get away after tbat,fear- ing that something worse was coming she insisted on my taking a pinch of snuff, and so I kept my seat We were just bevond Brighton, when tbe old man came at me like a steamboat with: "Now, then, how far is it to the stop where they found the babes in the woods?" I wanted to get out of it, but bow could 1? That young man had deliber ately lied to those nice oid folk3, ana I hadn't the moral courage to tell ,hem so, and thus had to make a liar of mvself. It's awful to deceive . any one, especially a good old man, and a fat motherly old lady, on tbeir way to tbe tomb. "That's yes that's the spot!'' I said as we came to a dark piece of woods. "Think o' that Hanner!" be said, his head out the window, "think of them babes being found in there!" "Yes, it was fearful!" she replied "seems as if I could almost see them stubbing about in there now!" There was another historic spot of whfch the young man had told them, but they hadforgotton it, and I was never more thankful. They kept quiet until the brrkeraan yelled out, ."Lansing," and the old man popped up and exclaimed: "Lansing Lansing why.there 13 where they hung Tom Collins, ain't it?" . He explained that Tom Collins a Chicago desperado, bad murdered eleven old women, and drank their blood for his liver complaint nd af ter being hunted for milea and miles, had at length been captured at Lan sing, cut to pieces by an infuriated populace, and then left banging to a tree. I bad to point out the tree. It , - , , . I1" tre r the depot. tear the depot, and the tail of a kite had lodged in its branch es. . "There's where they hung him, Hanner!" said tbe old man, stretching bis neck. "And there's some o' his shirt left yet!" exclaimed the old lady, and as I backed out or tbe car tne gooa oia man was remarking that he was go-1 ing to aak the train boy if be didn't have tbe pamphlet of the life of Tom Collir8, bo that they could get furth er particulars.

I do not know that tile divine bard intended this remark to refer especially to Cooley's rooster, but it fits bim with a singular exactness. I do not know what the breed was Black Spanish, I believe but be was the most animated, earnest, whole souled, and vehement rooster auy where around. He turned out earli er and crowed louder than any other rooster in the State of Delaware, he could crow oftener in a minute He could hold on to tbe last note longer, and begin again quicker thai any known barn-yard fowl; and he would often wale up in tbe sight and emit half a dozen vociferous Bcreaebes in order to make Bure that be had not lost his voice since sunset V hen be began to run np the scale in tbe morning, be soon had every other rooster within ten miles bard at work, and I used to lie abed listening to the vocal contest, and observing bow Cooley's bird always got more noise out of his larynx than any other four of bis competitors. I shouldn't have minded it he bad been a little far ther off, and slept later. But when I live alongside of a rooster tbat is a cross between a fog-whistler and a steam coffee mill, the matter becomes serious. It was useless to complain to Coo ley about the chicken. He owed roe a grudge for banding bis balloon to slithers. So in defense, I procured about a dozen torpedoes and pasted them all over with flour. Then I strewed on a bed in my garden, whereon the bird was wont to dis port himself in the early morning. He crowed a good deal that morning be fore I cime down, but toward break fast time I noticed that his voice was some what softened, and bis vocal ex- trennent When I went out I found bim standing upon one leg, looking abjectly miserable, mov ing bis head from right to left aa if be had something on his mind, and I observed that the torpedoes bad dis appeared.

A couple of draro3tick3 were found by some body out in the tornpike, and a strsy gizzard was picked up in the grave yard, whil a few bloody feathers were scattered over Cooley's aspara gus bed, and that was all that was ever known about it When this meets Cooley's eye, be will nnder etand why that roos'er disappeared, and he bad better take tie news nmlr.

Mar k Twain recently sent the fo!- lowing letter as an excuse for not at. tending a Sunday school celebra tion. Hartford, Coxx., October 5,' H74. UUs A". IT. While-. Dear Madam I regret exceeding ly being unable to accept your kind invitation (also Mr. P. G. Duffy's) to be present at your commencement ex ercises, but the annoying and vexa tious illness which still hang about me, together with some bushiest en gagements, will prevent. The illness to which I refer is a severe cold which I took in New York last week during the lecture season. Perhaps the recital of how I tried to cure this cold may be of interest, and may serve instead of the few remarks vou so politely asked me to make to the friends and pupils. The first time I begun to sneeze, a friend told me to go and batbo. my feet in hot water and go to bed. I did so. Shortly after another friend told mo to get up and take a cold shower-bath. I did that also. With in the hour, another friend assured me that it was policy to feed a cold and starve a fever. I had both. So I thought it best to fill myself cp for the cold, and let the fever starve awhile. In a case of this kind I sel dom" do things by halves; I ate pretty heartily. I conierred my custom up on a stranger, whtf had just opened his resturnnt on Cortlandt street near the hotel, that morning, paying so much for a full meal. He waited near me in respectful silence until I had finished feeding my cold, when be inquired if the people about New York were much afflicted with colds. I told him I thought lb?y were, ne then went out and took in hU sign. 1 started up toward tbe office, an l on the way encountered another bo som friend who told me that a quart 'of warm salt-water would come a.s near curing a cold as anything in the world. I hardly thought I had room for it, but I tried it, anyhow. The result was surprising. I believed I threw up my immortal soul. Now, as I give my experience only for the benefit of" your friends who arc troubled with Uii distemper, I feel that they will se? the propriety of my cautioning them against following such portions of It as proved incfiU cient with me, and acting upon this conviction I warn them against warm salt-water. m It may be a good enough remedy, but I think it is rather severe." If I bad anotber cold in the bead, and there was no course left me to take either an earthquake or a quart of warm water, I would take my chances or the earthquake. After this everybody in tbe hotel became interested, and I took all sorts of remedies-bot lemonade, cold lemonade, pepper tea, boneset, stew ed Quaker, hoarhound syrup, onion and loaf-sugar, lemons and brown sugar, vinegar and laudanum, five bottles fir barsam, eight bottle3 cher ry pectoral, and ten bottles of Uncle Sam's remedy, but all" without effect One of the prescriptions given by an old lady was well, it was dreadful. She mixed a decoction composed of molasses, catnip, peppermint, aqua fortis, turpentine, kerosene, and vari owo.ber drugs, and instructed me to take a yiaeglassful of it every fifteen minutes, jl never took but one dose; that waseoQPgb. I bad to take my bed, and remain there for two or three days. When I felt a little Utter more things were recommended. I wa3 desperate, and willing to take' anvthing. Plain gin was recommen ded, then gin and molasses, then gin and onions. I took all three. I de tected po particular result, however, except that I had acquired a breath, like a turkey buzzard, and had to change my boarding place. At this new place thc-y suggested a new remedy to any yet tried. A sheet bath wa3 recommended. I biu! never refused a remedy yet, and it seemed poor policy to commence then; therefore I determined to take a sheet bath, though I had no idea what sort of arrangment it was. It was administered at midnight, and the weather was very frosty. My back and breast were stripped, and a sheet (there appeared to be a thousand yards of it) soaked in ice water wa3 wound around me until I resenib?eJ a swab for a columbiad.
