Several years ago thcro was floating through the papers an account of some cures that had been effected by the use of elccauipanc root boiled In sweet milk. Recently Mrs. Jane G. Swisshelm has published a long letter, giving fbrther accounts of the remedy and relating a number of cures effected by it. Mrs. Swisshelm writes as follows : "In Chester County, Pa., lived a German named Joseph Emory, who used to be sent for, far and wide, whec any one had been bitten by a rabid animal. He went to his patient carrying something, understood to be ' a rnnt whinh ho himnnlf ilnrr in thn nnnila 1 , ?o ? . ,r?- Ho milkod a piot of - milk fresh .-from the cow, put the root inio^itf boiled it, ghfe \ it to tho patiout, tasting; made-him fast of- 1 tor takiiig it ; gavo a second and third dose ( on alternate days^and never tailed in effecting a cure. In some way the secret transpired, and the root was known to bo ele- 1 campanc. "Tho story curront in the country was 1 that an old German made the discovery in the days of Penn, and applied'to the Penn- 1 sylvnnia legislature for a grant of $300 for 1 making his secret publio. His offer was 1 treated with contempt, and he resolved that * his knowledge should die with him; but a ( druuken son knew it, wrote out a recipe, j making a number of copies, and tried to ( sell them at one dollar apiece. He only ( succeeded in selling two, one of theso to the man who made such effective use of it. So ^ well did he establish the local reputation of his specific, that in his neighborhood folks , wore not afraid of mad dogs. His reputation was parallel to that of Dr. Marchant, of Grcensburg, to whom every one iu this part of the country used to go or send for when kitten by a mad dog."The integrity and intelligence of my informant arc beyond question, and I regret that her love of privacy should prevent her giviug the weight of her name to her conviction that it isan unfailing specific for hydrophobia. "The people of Chester Valley are not as a class likely to be misled by superstition, and it was a general or uaitefsal belief that Jacob Emory never failed to prevent or cure ^ BydrS^ijobia? " In ?too case tile spasms bad begun before the first dose was given, and. ^ the patient rocovcred. 1 "Ihe medical properties ot elecampane j are very powerful. Milk itself is a specific i for many poisons, aud while the medical ^ faculty kuow no cure for this terrible disease, v wo should open every aveuue of light iuto j the dark subject." j Mrs. Swisshelm says she has forgotten t the exact quantities to be used, but thinks it was two ouuccs of elecampane root to be . boiled iu a pint of new milk, aud to be ta- j ken iu the uioruing aftor the patient has > fasted all night. Ho is to coutinue fasting ( after taking it, and the dose is to be repea- ( ted three times on threo successive morn- j ings, as soon as possible alter the person has ( beeu bitton. -^-r-( -- ( ' The following letter, from a well known j citizen of Columbus, Ohio, appeared in tilfc* n. ..i .1.. . " ui mat tiijf, ictuiHij . I "The communication of Mrs. Swisshclm , iu reference to.the Chester Valley cure for , hydrophobia, and printed in the Dispatch j of Friday last, deserves more thau ordinary attention. Permit mo, therefore, to supplement it by statiug the following facts : ( "Several years ago a dog afflicted with ( hydrophobia was seen to bite a number of * hogs aud cattle belonging to a farmer then residing in eastern Ohio. A neighbor who formerly resided in Chester County, Pa., , prevailed on the farmer to try the identical remedy?elecampane. It was an easy matter to administer it to the hogs in milk. It was given to the cattle by drenching.? Not one of the animals so treated became iijjlictcd. If the same dog had not bitten a large number of animals belonging to neighbors, and which, receiving no treatment, became rabid iu a few days, it might be assumed that the dog was not afflicted with hydrophobia. "The plant mentioned is indigenous to this country, and every person who owns land should nave tut is ot it growing upon their premises, and tho root^should bo kept by druggists everywhere, for it appears to be a specific for rabies." To Fkbd Corn Stalks.?In this paper, last week, allusion was uiado to corn stalks, as being half as valuable us the grain.? This is the way tho American Agriculturist says they must be fed : "Cut up in a fodder cutter with rollers that bruise theui?fret with water and sprinkle with meal." Hut stock will not oat old dry com stalks, such as Southern farmers may take up by wagonloads in their fields during the winter, no matter how they are prepared. To be utilized, they must be cut and cured well, while there is juice in them. ..Did you ever notice this remarkable pe')l>ib'fiaiiA),cJ'r expanding power - '-ooie.untract them? Editor Southern Cultivator.?The large outlay of capital for work-stock, and the unavoidable heavy expense of feeding and inaintainiugthcui, is probably the greatest obstacle to the profitable, successful culture of cheap cotton. This fact will be acknowledged by all practical, experienced planters It is safe to cstimato the cost ot feeding an ordijary mule or horse, at one hundred dollars a year, if kept exclusively upon coru and corn fodder?the great reliance of most planters for food for work stock, with very little variation the year round. Ouo peck of corn and six lbs. of fodder daily, (the usual feed,) will reach the above figures-at the present prices of tbeses articles. ThLy it the average yield pcY ft We,* btftmr -rii<w impoverished cottoa lands, is tbc total ptTQiuct of ten or twelve acres of a well-culiiratcd crop. 'Tis about tho averago cash ralue of tho auimal himself, aud almost twice the amount rationed in nifcat aud bread, to tho hand that follows hiui. There s doubtless no greater extravagance, if not lotuul wasto^ ib uirour Southern agricultu al System, than this exclusive corn and fodler feeding, not to speak of the' injury ind cruelty to the work a'nitnal, aud in the ;nd it absorbs the marjin of profit in the proluction of a money crop. Whilst these articles of food are absolutey necessary to be produced, and it is safest to have them in abundance, as sure and :crtuiu for a provision supply, tbey can be ?reatly economized, and also "disposed of at ;ood prices, by a judicious use of green soilng, which will also add much to the ht^th tnd longevity of stock, aud enable them to iccoinplish as much if not moro work. To the great assistance of the planter in >ur favored warm climate, comes tho long ist of pcrcnniul and annual plants, that fill lp nearly tho whole year, reducing the drain ipou the corn-crib'to just one-half if not 088. aud maklner the nlnnf?r n rpIIap ' o r >f a Luycr of com.

' With a continued feed of *a very ittle corn per day, stock will be, must be, leultluer, and endure equal hard work.? dixiug food in this way gradually at first, with free access to salt and pure water, the vliter for many years can exhibit a healther record, and a reduced mortality among lii work auiuials that will compare with the reatuicut of any good graiu aud stock raiser ?keeping my auiuials up the whole year, lud giving them the greatest variety ofgrceu ood, instead of the great risk of pasturing.

'Tis upon the principle of the Gcrmau and English mixed crops of winter yetch and oats. Prepare a rich piece of laud by thorough breaking in early, spring lud about the first or middle of May break igain, broadcast two bushels per aero of ionic good running pea, (Clay-bank or Others), broadcast over this six pounds per ?cre of Egyptian or cat-tail Millet, harrow in well, and smooth or roll for the scythe. They both start together under the warm ami Thn niillnf Ic ilufufPorl Kit* aP #1%/> size to cut, and it supports the pea which clambers over it. This produces the richest mass of vegetable matter I've ever seen, and can be cut till the vines arc too woody aud hard, extcudiug even to middle of October. The othe^.aarioties of millet mature loo early and arc too feeble to support the vines. IlnvtT never estimated the uumbcr of tons per acre this mixed crop will produce on rich soil thus treated, but believe it will eclipse anything yet fairly tried. W. B. JONES. Birdavillo, Gi^. April 2d, 1877. IIow to Select Good Flour.--? In selecting flour first look to the color. If it ij white, with a yellowish straw color tint, buy it. If it is white with a bluish cast, or with white specks in it, refuse it. Second, examine its adhesivness?wet and knead a little of it between your fingers ; if it works soft and sticky, it is poor. Third, throw a little lump of dried flour against a smooth surface ; if it falls like powder, it is bad.? Fourth, squeeze some of the flour tightly in your hand ; if it retains the shape given by the pressure, that, too, is a good sign.? It is safe to buy flour that will stand all these tests. These modes arc given by all old Hour dealers, and they pertain to a matter that concerns everybody?the staff of life. fc L~ _ - -y-r ..ijyxii: GO BACK!

'Although Russid has two million armed men she will not fiud her road to Constantinople strewn with roses. Every str?am of water will be a thorn and every hamlet a thicket. The Turk may be cruel and vicious and uncivilized, but it canuot in truth be said that he is a coward.

'/All through the insurrectionary struggles of the past two years 'he fighting material of the Turk has been thoroughly tested, and has been proven to bo of a superior and remarkable quality.

To look into the faces of so many of those who largely represent the commercial and manufacturing interests of those great sections, the States of Ohio. Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois, is an opportunity we heartily enjoy and the value of. which we all, I am suro, fully appreciate. 1 While looking over the register at the Charleston Hotel this morning one of your party enquired of the clerk if anybody was , in the city from Spartanburg, statin that he ( and his brother left there iu 1810, nearly ( twenty years beforo your humble spearker , was born. Both of these gentlemen desire to visit the old laud. What chances, sir, have been wrought since 1819! Not a foot of railway iron was thcu laid in the United States, uor for years after that period.? 1 Among the earliest started was in that day 1 known as the old Charleston, Cincinnati and Louisville Railroad, a link iu which line we 1 o.rtt_Uflw etmggling to build. This was over ' lorty years ag<>. bince tlieu, sir, thousands ' of miles of railway have been constructed, 1 and your great VVcst uud Northwest has ' become a net work of iron roads. Your cities have been rising up like giants, and many of them quadruple in population and wealth any ol those on our Atlantic coast. For these forty years we have been travel- 1 iug over the two sides of a triangle to our suioko houses and corn cribs in the West , and Northwest. Other lines fioui other sections have been built and iu operation for years at enormous outlays of money nuu cf- ; fort. Words nre good enough and, well spoken, are cheering; but you business men well know the greater value of pocketbooks , in accomplishing great works. There is no substitution for them. We thank you for your congratulations that we are frco oik*c i more, even though our freedom has come through an ordeal that has made us too poor comc. , Poor as we arc, we arc nearly ? vcr the mountains which have separated us like an insuperable barrier, and although we have climbed slowly and feebly, yet what we have done bus been well done, and the most gratifying thought is that tnus far our work is about paid for. We have not waited for help from your great States. In our .veukness wo have shown strength enough to scale the Blue liidgo and offer you a line that passes that mountuiu range without a single tunnel and at a cost per utile nut equalled, the topography of the country considered, on this Continent. Nothing, gentlcincn, would give tnc greater pleasure than to have the gratification of returning you home through the centre of our State, via Ashcville, direct to the City of Cincinnati. We cannot do so to-day, but we confidently pledge you, if you devote a.sixteenth of the eo*t of your g.cat and creditable ''Cincinnati1 Southern" line to our project through the Cumberland Gap, or via Ivnoxville, we will invite you to repeat this visit, before the close of 1878, to the City of Charleston, not by the way of the Chesapeake aud Ohio, but by the cheapest, most direct and practicable route lroui your great and growing section to the South Atluntic Coast, that can or ever .rill be constructed. [Great applause.] Youthful Follies.?Times like these not only present to the people the necessity of economy in dress, table fare and other over taxed luxuries, but they also present to parents the power and law they should oxereise in regard to their children. Some idea, in particular, should be included in the minds of the older sons or hopefuls, in regard to the needless expenditure of money for cigars, strong drinks and unnecessary outlays, which are considered by many us necessary to hold one's place in society's fashionable foolishness. Many a piomising son has been bereft of a considerable fortune, a home and friends, by the social glass, excess in tobacco, and over-dress beyond one's moderate income. To such we would give brief advice. Live within your income: abandon the foolish and unnccesKsirv cigar ; give over to less wise brains the houor (?) of performing in society that which j is beyond your means to do; livo the life of honor; guard against temptations in all their minutest forms, and when success has crowned your efforts you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you honored the parents who ushered you into existeucc; and when the lamp of life has burned out, the honor of a son's most noble aim will furnish peace and happiuess to his relatives and friends.

Those who make a specialty of poultry breeding are careful in this matter, and'such facilities arc so oasily had as to be within the reach of all. Iu relation to setting the hens the Poultry lKo/7</says : We always choose the evening?after dark?as the best time to set hens. If they arc young fowls you canuot be assured that they will be steady sitters upon their first attempt at this undertaking, however earnest they may seem at the outset. They should therefore be placed upon artificial or valueless eggs at the beginning. : say three or four days, to ascertain if they ' reallv "mean business" when thev nnnenr 1 * j rr inclined to follow the motherly instinct, then give thoni the eggs you dosirc them to hatch, oDtl you will be more successful, generally, than if you ueglect this kind of trial at the o itsct. Gapes in Young Fowls.?In a recent conversation with nu experienced chicken grower, he informed us that lie had bccu very successful in conquering gapes in young fowls by tho application of air slaked lime. As soon as a manifestation appears, he confines his chickens in a box, ono at a time, sufficiently largo to contain the bird, aud places a coarse piece of cottou or linen cloth over the top. Upon the top of this he places tho pulverized lime, aud taps the screen sufficiently to cause the linio to fall through. This linae dust the fowl inhales, causing it to sneeze, and in a short time the causo of the gapes is thrown out in the form of a slimy mass or masses of worms, which had accumulated in the windpipe and smaller air vessels. This remedy he considers superior to any ho has over tried, and he seldom fails to effect a perfect cure. . Feeding tiie Old World.?New York, May lif.?1'ivc steamers sailed tor Europe to-day, viz : City of Richmond and England for Liverpool, Cauada for London, Anchovia for Glasgow, and Khein for Bremen.? All the vessels go out full, nud the exportation of food is about equal to that of former Saturday's shipments. It is stated at the shipping offic jb that a quantity of freight offered will have to lie over until Dext week for want of room. The shipments of grain aggregate 108,000 bushels ; of choeso there is nearly 25,000 boxes. The exact number of pounds of fresh beef cannot be obtained from the lists of cargoes, as some have bceu shipped by tous in weight, and others by tens in measurement On one vessel 100 tons in weight have been shipped ; on others 1.500 tons in measurement, and on another 2.OOOquartors, averaging 200 pounds each. The aggregate shipment of beef, however, fully equals that ' of last Saturday I " ton," who is evidently a close observer, says in a letter from New York to the Daubur^f Neici: I wandered two miles aloug Broadway.? I notioed that uion walked less hastily than they did two or three years ago. They were not rushiug from storo tostoro with fat wallets and- iinportunato accouuts. They slouched easily along, with a sort of sailor's roll, and scorned to have little to do. Boys were uo longer tacking to avoid brusque men. Clerks stood in storo windows twirling their whiskers. Windows of gun aud pistol stores wcro not patrouizcd by gaping crowds of countrymen. There was much moving out of tenants, and a few pretty damsels stood hesitating in front of photographic grtie Hoc, wandering which artist they would putronizo. Vrctty wagons*wcro displayed, but few were there to buy. In front of some of the ribbou stores there wore lady gazer dra .'nz from putc curiosity.? Stewart's had no jam in front of its wido loors. Men's clothes seemed poorer; there were ragged edges to vests, aud boots, once shiny, were greyly ovcrlaping their soles.? Perhaps girls flirted more, bccauso they had nothing else to do; but the men who had ;imc to ogle theui had no money for ice ;rcam saloons. The bars wcro not so busting, aud tlio cheap restaurants contaiuod a jrcater number of people than the dearer >ncs. I thought there wcro fewer applo itbnds. Buttou-holo bouquets brightened fewer lappels, and the picture and musio . ?torcs woro vacaut. Where crowds wero most to be expected, in the carpet aud fur niturc stores, there was a lack of people.? The old street, onee crur.v as bedlam w:m ilmost as quiet as the streets of a Southern jity. No grass grew among the stones, but die sparrows had uo one energetic enough to disturb theui while they were stealing stray bits for their nests. It was cvidcut that we nro living in hard times. Bold Thick.?The "swell uiob" of Loudon perpetrate robberies with the moat singular ingenuity aud address, and appoar never to he at fault. A ludy alighted at a bank, asccuded the steps aud entered tho vestibule and presented a check to the paying teller, received a very largo amouut of bauk notes, which she deposited in her purse the steps ot the bank iftthout his hat, wearing spectacles and having a pen behind his ear, said : "Madaui, we havo forgotten to tako tho uuinbcr of those notes. Will you allow me .to take them off?" She l^ricd him the mrtcs aud he nsccudcd the ' tho bank and entered the building. Tho lady having waited soino time, finally returned to the bank and soon ascertained that no pcrsou had been authorized to ask for the notes. Affecti.no Sight.?A correspondent, who writes from Vigo, Spain, says : In the neighborhood of lyuistcrrc, bctwccu the fishing villages of Bayona and Corunna, after stormy weather, pieces of wreck aro continually being washed up, and sometimes the bodies of the drowned. A notable instance occurred after the storms of January, when a quantity of bodies were thrown out by the waves at Muros. Among them were the corpses of two ladies, one poor crcaturo still holding in her arms her dead child.? The fishermen say they were well dressed and fair, and supposed them to be English. Accounts of tho wrecks nro rarely if ever published in the native local papers, and where all on board havo perished are ucvor heard of iu England. Advice to Young Men.?Never affect to be other than what you urc, cither richer or wiser. Never bo ashamed to sav "1 don't know." Never be ashamed to say, when applied to for time or moucy, "I cannot afford it." Once establish yourself and your mode of life as really what they are, and your foot is on solid ground, whethor for the gradual step onward or the sudden spring over a precipice. From these maxims we may deduce another?learn to say "No," with decision, whenever it meets tcmptatiou. 'Yes'; with cnution whenever it implies a promise. A promise once given is a bond inviolable.? A man is already of some consequence in the world when it is known that we can implicity rely upon him. How frequently in life have we seen such a man preferred to a long list ot applicants for souio important charge; ho has been lifted at once into station and fortune, merely because he has t.ni? roniit.ntimi?t.hnt. wh?n mm Kn 1 - ?V ' v""v "" knows a thing, ho kuows it ; ami whcu he says ho will do a tiling ho will doit.
