Why 19 Strictly Pure
nVf White Lcad the best
T * ,/ * paint ? Because it
will outlast all other paints, give a
handsomer finish, better protection to
the wood, and the first cost will he less.
If Barytes and other adulterants of
white lead are "just as gcod" os
Strictly Pure White Lead, why sre all
the adulterated white leads always
branded Pure, or
"Strictly Pure
White Lead?"
This Barytes is a heavy white powder
(ground stone), having the appearance
white lead, worthless as a paint,
costing only about a cent a pound, and
is only used to cheapen the mixture.
What shoddy is to cloth, Barytes is
to paint. Be careful to use only old
and standard brands of white lead.
"Armstrong & McKelvy"
" Beymer-Bauman" "Fahnestock"

Sure Cure For Cholera.
The ravages of the cholera in France
and in other parts of Europe are new be
ginning to attract attention in this country
because the disease may find its way here.
Ia order that our readers may have a rem
edy which is highly recommended, and
that our physicians may be in possession of
the same, we publish the following for
for their benefit and the benefit of any one
who may be stricken with the disease.
Read it carefully and then put it away
where it can be had at a moment's no
tice:
"The following simple remedy was issued
in handbill form by the Hibemia printing
office, Dublin, Ireland, during the severe
visitation of cholera in 1830, and was the
means of saving thousands of lives. It
was also used with valuable effect in IS4S,
and no harm can be done by having it in
the house during the coming warm
months:
Dissolve one ounce of camphor in six
ounces of spirits of wine and give a small
bottle of it to an intelligent person in your
neighborhood who will undertake to ad
minister it to his poor neighbors when
they are seized with cholera or any of its
symptoms, without deviating in the slight
est degree from the following instruc
tions:
■When any person is seized with symp
toms of cholera, such as vomiting, purging,
sudden weakness, coldness, cramps or
spasm?, do not give them brandy or whis
key or any kind of medicine whatever, but
put them to bed at once, covering them
warmly, but not overloading them with
bed clothes, and as soon as you possibly
can let the patient take two drops (not
more) of the camphor mixture on a little
pounded sugar in a spoonful of cold or iced
water. In five minutes after let him take
the second dose of two drops in the same
way, and in five minutes more repeat the
same thing. He is then to wait ten or fif
teen minutes to see whether or not there
is a sense of returning warmth, with a dis
position toward prespiration and mauifest
decrease of sickness, cramps, Ac., when if
necessary, he must take two drops as be
fore, and repeat the dose every five min
utes until twelve or fourteen drops have
been taken. In administering this remedy
you must particularly obsrerve that if the
patient takes anything of any kind, except
cold or iced water while the medicine is in
tended to operate, its whole effect will be
destroyed, lor the least foreign medicine
neutralizes the camphor, which is given to
check vomiting and to produce a warm,
free perspiration. The use of cold or iced
water is on the advice of the late celebra
te a ar.d successful Dr. Piddock, of Lon
don who always allowed his patients to
drink cold or iced water, as it tends to pro-1
mote free perspiration, and also the abund-*
ant discharge of yellow biles.
The patient must not be allowed to rise
and expose him or herself to the slightest
I degree of cold and should not be torment-
I ed with baths, steamings or rubbing of any
kind, but permitted to lie still, as he will
fall asleep when perspiration comes on,
and after some hours will, with God's as.
sistance, awake well, though weak and
languid and perhaps a little feverish, in
which case he might get a dose, say a tea
spoonful of Gregory's powder or rhubarb
or magnesia, with a little peppermint wa
ter or weak salvolatile and water to wash
it down, but must be kept quiet, taking
only a little soup, broth or gruel for a day
or two.
Lord Ponsonby, writing to the bishop of
Derrv, stated that to his own knowledge
these camphor drops had proved to be cer
tain cure for cholera, both in Franco and
Germany, whenever taken in time, and the
cure is generally effected before it is possi
ble to procure a physician—that is in less
than an hour.
Pay of the President
There is a general UI«»L U*o
dent's salary of $50,000 a year is all that
he receives, and that, when compared
with the salaries paid the sovereigns of
Europe, this sum is not enough. This is a
mistake. In addition to his salary, the
president receives $30,004 to pay the sala
ries of his clerks and subordinates, llis
priyate secretary has $3,250; his assistant
secretary, $2,250; the stenographer gets
$1,800; each of live messengers $1,200, ihe
steward SI,BOO, each of two doorkeepers
$1,200, whilu other employes are paid in
proportion, down to tho man who takes
care of the fires, who receives SSG4. In
addition SB,OOO are allowed for incidentals,
suck as stationery and carpets, $12,500 for
repairs and refurnishing, $2,500 for fuel,
$4,000 for the greenhouse and $15,000 for
the stables, gas and other incidentals. In
all the president and his house cost the
country over $125,000.

Hero's something for the mathemati
cal sharps to puzzle their brains over. A
group of gentlemen were lately gathered
about the dusk ol u Washington hotol ea
gaged in earnest endeavor to figure out a
mathematical problem brought over by a
prominent momber of the New York bar,
who stands to lose SIOO on a wager if his
own solution is wrong. Here it is: "A
column of troops twenty-live miles long is
ordered to a point twenty-five miles dis"
taut. A courier starts simultaneously
with tho rear of the column and reaches
the head thereof. Returning, ho meets
the rear of the column where the head or
iginally was. Both tho troops and the
courier are to travel at a uniform rate of
speed. How many miles does the courier
traverse * It looks simple. The young
New Yorker said it was simple, and that
it didn't take a mathematical sharp to fig
ure that the courier journeyed an even fifty
miles. Tho man who made the bet with
him was a Philadelphian, and he called in
Professor Tliuuder, a teacher of 'mathema
tics, said to bo tho greatest expert in the
Quaker City. The Professor figured at it
awhile, and said it was plain that the cour
ier traveled over fifty miles, but just how
much more he wouldn't undertake to nay
off-hand. Tho man from Gotham was not
satisfied with Philadelphia professor's con
clusion, so on reaching Washington ho
hunted up Professor George Hill, the clerk
to the House irrigation committee, and an
expert in mathematics, who in turn, re
ferred him to Professor Woodward, of the
Coast and Geodetic Survey. His answer
was sent in and appeared at the bottom of
a long sheet of algobric equations. It was
60.3 miles. And still the New Yorker is
not satisfied. IJefore giving up tho SIOO
ho is going to have the opinion of tho Pro
fessor of Mathematics of Columbia College.
It will take no less an authority than that
to skake his belief in the correctness of his
owu ciphering, which he admits was not
done with tho help of quadratic equations.

Grewtorae Amusement.
A few years ago while six murderers—
Giblin, Packenham, Carolin, Lewis, Nolan
and Carleton—occupied the condemned
cells at the Ne* York Tombs they got up
a decidedly unique form of amusement to
while away the hours of a dull Sunday.
Giblin proposed that they try one of their
number byjniy, anil Carolin, who chopped
his unfortunate wife to death with a
hatchet, was jingled out to be tried. Old
man Packenham, who killed his wife with
a pair ol scissors, was made judge; Giblin
district-attorney. Carleton counsel for the
defense, and Lewis and Nolan the jury.
After the consent of Deputy Sheriff Cara
her was given the trial proceeded, every
part of the judicial program being minute
ly carried out, even to puting Carliton on
the stand to testify in his own behalf. De
spite the argument of Carleton that it
could only be manslaughter and not mur
der, the jury found Uim guilty without
quitting their seats.
The effect on Carolin, the deputy sheriff
said, was painful and pitiful to witness.
He never raised his eyes while old man
Packenham sentenced him to die on the
2Gth ol August, ISS9. From that day he
seemed to weaken and the authorities
were afraid he would break down com
pletely. Fathers Pendergast and Galenas,
with the sisters, who were daily in atten
dance, tried to comfort and rally him, but
without avail. The verdict of his fellows
had almost killed him.
As Giblin had been commuted and Car
leton was awaiting appeal, only Lewis,
Packenham, Carolin and Nolan were to
die, and the men drew lots to see who
would be companions on the gallows.
None of them wanted to die with "Nigger'
Lewis, and hence the drawing. Carolin
broke down completely when he found h«
had to go with Lewis, although the latter,
up to the very last moment, tried his best
to awaken some manly feelings in the
breast of the trembling wretch. Lewi -
crossed the yard to the scaffold several
times and asked Carolin to die like a lust
and not be a ear. But he was almost
dead when the rope was adjusted about
his neck.
