JONES T8. BROWN.
Mrs. Jones was standing in her backyard
feeding the chickens, when Stonewall Jackson
came running in, crying as though his heart
would break, and told her that Bill Brown
had slapped him for nothing. Mrs. Jones
never said a word, but she grit her teeth hard,
and went into the house to cut cabbage, and
chopped it so fine, thinking it was Bill Brown's
.head, that you might have sifted it through a
cobweb. While Jones sat eating his dinner
that evening, Mrs. Jones told him of the outrage
that had been committed, and asked him
what he was going to do about it. Jones
pondered. Bill Brown was fully twenty-one
years old, a shining light in the fire department,
pitcher in a base-ball club, and had
the general reputation among experts of being
a "good man."
Alter considering these things careiuuy,
Jones came to the conclusion that the best
course to pursue was "to treat Brown with silent
contempt," and so he told his wife, adding,
by way of parenthesis, "My dear, such cattle
are beneath our notice."
"All right, Mr. Jones," said Mrs. J., "if
you're not man enough to protect your family,
thank God! I've got a brother," and she
swept from the room with a look that Jones
knew only too well. He had seen that look
on his wife's face once before, when he brought
a friend home to dinner on washing-day, and
he knew it meant war. There was no help
for it; it dashed upon Jones with the swiftness
of lightning; there would be no peace in
the Jones family until the insult of the morning
had been wiped out with blood.
That night the boys were all sitting in a
neighboring beer saloon, and its genial proprietor
was telling them what he would do if
he got the nomination for alderman. This
gentleman, whom we will call Mike, because
that was not his name, was an ex-prize-fighter,
could barely write his name, and was in many
other respects especially qualified for an alderman.
He kept good beer, and offered it
with that lavish liberality and recklessness of
expenditure for which Vicksburg candidates
are famous. Jones came in, took his prorata
of beer, and sat himself down to meditate upon
the Brown affair. At last a happy idea
seemed to strike him ; he called for another
"ahoo-fly" arid rubbed his hands and slapped
his knees in gleeful anticipation.
At last he said to Mike, with a careless air,
"Mike, is Bill Brown one of your supporters
?"
"You can just bet your mucky muck on
that," says Mike; "there's a boy I do stand
solid with."
"That's strange," said Jones.
"What's strange?" said Mike, with that
uneasy, suspicious air so common among candidates.
"0, nothing," said Jones, mysteriously ; "I
don't think I ought to tell."
"Jones," said Mike, solemnly, "if you're a
friend of mine, you'll tell."
"Well, I will," said Jones; "but you must
keep it confidential."
"All right; go ahead," said Mike, very anxiously.
"Well," said Jones, I just came from the
Centennial bar-room, and heard Brown say
that von didn't know vour head from a 3hot
J J
guu; that he caught you, one day. reading a
newspaper upside down ; that he'd sooner vote
for the lowest down nigger in the ward than
vote for you, and that if you were elected, city
scrip would go down to 6ve cents on the dollar,
and taxes go up so high you couldn't
reach them with a balloon."
Mike put on bis hat and coat, and made a
bee line for the Centennial bar-room.
Jones went home and sat down on the front
gallery, smoking his cigar with that peace of
miud which only one can know whose bosom
is distended with the proud consciousness of
having done a good action.
About half an hour afterward he said to
his wife, who was sitting inside:
"Mrs. J., I don't think Bill Brown will hit
our boy any more."
"Why?"
"Come and see."
Mrs. Jones stepped to the window and
looked out. They were bringing Brown home
ou a shutter, with both of his eyes bunged up,
and his nose dripping blood at every pore.
Mrs. Jones turned to her husband, and said:
"Darlingcan you forgive me?"
Jones drew himself up haughtily, and replied,
with withering sarcasm, "Mrs. Jones, I
don't think I'm able to protect this family;
you had better send for your brother."
Mrs. J. was crushed.
A Slight Touch of Hell-fire.?A
young parson of the Universalist faith, many
years since, when the simon-pure Universalism
was preached, started westward to attend
a convention of his brethren in the faith. He
took the precaution to carry a vial of cayenne
pepper in his pocket to sprinkle his food
with as a preventive against fever and ague.
The convention met; and at dinner a tall
Hoosier observed the parson as he seasoned
his meat, and addressed him thus:
"Stranger, I'll thank you for a little of
that 'ere red salt, for I'm kind o' curious to
try it."
"Certainly," returned the parson, "but you
will find it very powerful; be careful how you
use it."
The Hoosier took the proffered vial, and
feeling himself proof against any quantity of
raw whisky, thought he could stand the "red
salt" with impunity; accordingly he sprinkled
a chunk of beef rather bountifully with it,
and forthwith introduced it into his capacious
mouth. It soon began to take hold. He
shut Mr pvpr nnrl Mr fpnfiirpa hpfrnn fr? writ.hp
denoting a very inharmonious condition physically.
Finally he could stand it no longer.
He opened his mouth and screamed "fire 1"
"Take a drink of cold water from the jug,"
said the parson.
"Will that put it out?" asked the martyr,
suiting the action to the word. In a short
time the unfortunate man began to recover,
and turning to the parson, his eyes yet swimming
in water, exclaimed:
"Stranger, you call yourself a 'Varsalist, I
believe?"
"I do," mildly answered the parson.
"Wal, I want to know if you think it consistent
with your belief to go about with hellfire
in your breeches pocket ?"
Some years ago, the writer was stopping
at a country village, in the southern part of
Indiana, when the Rev. Mr. R., of Jeffereonville,
came there to hold the Episcopal service.
There were two ladies there who belonged
to that church, and to aid him in the
vaar\r\rtaaa Via KrnnnKf vUh Kim frnm Kin

church, two young lady members. Everybody
attended meeting, of course, but few had
ever heard read the Episcopal service. At the
proper time, the four ladies, sitting together
on the front seat, arose and made the usual
responses connected with the service.
The next day I had business in a bouse
where were assembled a number of ladies,
and, noticing one old lady who had been at
the meeting, I asked her bow she liked the
preaching.
"The preaching was good enough," she replied
; "but did you ever see the impudence
of them women ? They stood right up, and
jawed at the preacher all the time he was
speaking."
He Wanted to be a Girl.?The following
story of a little boy, son of a professor in
a college, is told by a correspondent, who
writes that the little fellow, who bad been
trained for some time past to remove his hat
when he went into a house, came in one day,
and in the presence of his older sister, who
was seated in the room as just returned from
a walk, said to his mother, "Mother, I want
to die." "Why do you wish to die, Robbie ?"
"Because I want to go up and see God a little
while." "Why do you wish to see him,
ray son ?" "Because I want to see if I can't
be changed into a girl, so I can wear my hat
jn the house."

FENCE, ORNO FENCE.
In your issue of Wednesday, a correspouI
dent from WinDsboro, S. C., made inquiries
; concerning the working and popularity of the
! stock law, in Mecklenburg coufity. If you
I have not received the desired information, you
are at liberty to publish the following. He
! will find his questions answered in the order
I in which they are propounded :
1. The new law in Mecklenburg is increasi
ing the number and improving the quality of
I the stock.
2. The trouble and expense of keeping
stock during the winter is increased, but the
profits are more largely increased.
3. Farm tenants have no trouble in obtaining
pastures. Laborers living in the city,
and in no wise connected with farming, have
no pastures ; but have the benefit of public
pastures, at low figures. Those of them who
have good cows find them, as under the old
law, profitable. They are, in many instauces,
furnished pasturage free of cost.
4. The adoption of the law by single township
produces no complication or confusion ;
but its adoption by several townships, or a
county, increases its advantages and popularity,
and diminishes the expense of fencing.
5. The same provision existed with us, in
ftinninr* irk QII/IK fAWnoKinB Q Q ftrlnnt.Pf)
i Cgai <U lu ICUVIlIg iuouuu uunuuu^ ?' I
the law. There was but little trouble in making
contracts for the building of such feuce,
with either those favoring or opposed to the
law. The cost, including gates across public
highways, should not exceed one hundred doldred
dollars per mile, though with us in some
cases it has exceeded that amount. Contracts
were generally taken by those living upon the
proposed line of fence, at one dollar per hundred
for old rails, one and a half for new, and
three to five dollars for gates. Raising the
money to pay for the fencing has in some instances
been easy, in others difficult.
The adoption of the law has had the effect
of advancing the interests of the whole people
; has imbued the farmers with a progressive
spirit of improvement; makes the cultivation
of cotton less expensive, which will enable
the planter to pay larger wages to laborers
; has almost entirely relieved the tenant
from the burden of fencing; has made the
raising of hogs, cattle and sheep profitable;
has learned men to regard the lives and property
of their fellow-men, and thereby advanced
the cause of civilization. It has made men
more peaceable and better neighbors, and has
brought order out of chaos. After this the
first year, it will enable the farmers of Mecklenburg
to improve their lands to greater fertility,
by making compoBts and ploughing
more deeply, which in a few years would conduce
to their leisure and pleasure. In con
elusion, the stock law is giving greater satisfaction
to both whites and blacks, than its
most earnest advocates had predicted.
Mecklenburg hopes that the people of South
Carolina may obtain the same benefit from its
adoption. M.
HOUSEHOLD EXPENSES.
"We once heard two ladies comparing the
expenses of their respective families, which
were about the same size. One stated the
number of canned fruits and vegetables,
which were consumed monthly, together with
the amount of coal and kindling-wood used.
The other lady expressed much surprise at
the amount?her family was amply supplied
at a far less expense. "I am sure I don't see
how you manage it," said the other. "I go
into the kitchen every day," was the reply,
"and see for myself just how matters are progressing
there, and I do ray own marketing."
"Oh, dear me," said the other lady, "Anu
wouldn't stay with me if I should go into the
kitchen to look around. She comes to me
every morning with a list of things she wauts,
and I tell her to get them of the butcher and
grocer, when they come for orders."
.1 . n-u
Here was toe secret, ine one gave up me
entire management of the kitchen to her
cook, and she ordered her supplies without
knowing the prices charged or the exact quantity
given, and at the end of the month the
sum total was paid by the husband, who,
though he wondered at the largeness of the
amount, supposed that his wife knew what
was needed for the use of the family, and
paid it without grumbling.
The other went into her kitchen everyday,
and directed her affairs, instead of delegating
the cook to do it all; and by this means she
stopped many a leak, which if neglected
would in time deplete the fullest purse, and
~ ???* " m kl/\ Ani) f wiinfi r? hnohnM^l
| give Luc iuusl auiiauiu auu uuobiug iiuoumuu
good cause to grumble. She did not encourage
tradesmen to come to the house for orders,
but went out herself and purchased the
necessary provisions, choosing her own articles,
and waiting to see them weighed or
measured out. By thus giving it her personal
attention, she was enabled to live very
comfortably on a much smaller sum than it
cost her neighbor.
Hog Cholera.?Mr. J. C. Long, of Jasper
county, says : Years ago I lost thousands of
dollars' worth of hogs, but for the last six
years I have not lost any, and I have a remedy
that I will warrant. I have tried it in
thousands of cases, and never had a failure.
I am now engaged in buying lots of hogs
where cholera prevails; I bought two hundred
and fifty recently, and found no trouble
in curing them. My remedy is this. Make
concentrated ley into good soap by the usual
rule; take one pail of the soap to fifty hogs ;
put it in a kettle, add water and two pounds
of copperas, boil it; then add dish-water and
milk, or anything to make it taste good, till
you have about what the hog will driuk.
Place enough of the mixture, while warm, for
twenty-five hogs to drink, in troughs, in a seprt
wof a I Af Tnof mKon marl\r in 1 of f lia hnnra
Ol CMC lUlt U UOV H liV/U I VUUj bU t vu viiu nv/^u
in, scatter two pounds of soda in the troughs;
the object is to have it foaming as the hogs
come to drink. Be sure that every hog drinks
and if one will not drink, put him in the hospital
; and if you cannot get him to drink,
then knock him in the head, for he will give
the cholera to the rest. After twenty-five
have had all they will drink, let in twentyfive
more, and continue till the whole are
treated. The next day go through the same
operation. After the second day skip one, then
give for two days, and you may turn them
out cured. I generally give the same dose
once a week to my hogs. An important point
is to make the hog drink, and, if he will not
take it any other way, add new milk or put
in sugar.

when it is cold wash the skiu in it, carefully
squeezing it between the hands to get the
dirt out of the wool; then wash the soap out
with clean cold water; next, dissolve alum
and salt, of each half a pound in a little hot
water, which put in a tub of cold water sufficient
to cover the skin, and let it soak in it
over night or twelve hours; now hang the
skin over a pole to drain; when well drained,

"WAS NOT WITH THEM WHEN JESUS
CAME."
BY REV. ROBERT H. WILLIAMS.
These words are recorded of Thomas, when
Jesus appeared to his disciples after His resurrection.
What a difference that appearance
of Jesus made to the disciples! The
other apostles met Thomas, and believingly,
joyfully, hopefully, enthusiastically, exclaim
ed : "We have seen the Lord." But the absent
one doubted, and wanted evidence of the
minutest character, and declared, "Except I
shall see iu his hands the print of the nails,
and put ray hugers into the print of the nails,
and thrust mv band into his side. I will not
believe."
This scene is repeated in modern times
with similar results. Many are away from
the prayer meeting and other services of
God's house wheu Jesus comes, and those who
meet him are tilled with delight and hope;
and those who are absent doubt what they
hear of his presence, and question the evidence,
and will not believe until they receive
even more evidence than they can reasonably
expect.
Thomas wanted more evidence than the
others received. And so many in our day,
who are very forgetful of God, want more
evidence than others receive, and by refusing
what God in mercy bestows according to his
usual method, greatly dishonor God. The
great truth that God is in the ordinances of
his house is disesteemed, and being disesteemed,
it is soou disbelieved.
The prayer meeting is a sort of spiritual
index or thermometer of the condition of the
Church, and when the attendance is small, it
indicates a low degree of piety. And when
there is a low condition of religion among the
professed followers of Christ, there is but little
concern among the impenitent. What a
sad reflection it must be to think that by
neclect of God's bouse, we cherished and
cultivated skepticism in our own hearts, and
delayed the conversion of our fellow-men. If
we had attended faithfully the house of God,
we might have bad clearer couvictions of the
truth, and been the means of bringing blessings
to others around us.
But this is not all. The duties of religion
are related, and depend largely upon one
another. The neglect of God's house had led
to the neglect of other important duties. It
led to the neglect of the Bible, and family
prayer, and private prayer. Then besides,
we promised, among other things, that we
would attend to the public duties of religion,
when we were admitted to the church. We
may say with the Psalmist, "Thy vows are
upon me, O God." And we feel sometimes at
least, that when we have vowed unto God, we
should "not defer to pay it."
The Christian feels his wants as an individual,
and he goes to God in private with them.
The congregation, in its collective capacity,
has wants, which find their beBt expression
only when that congregation meet together
for worship. It needs love, and sympathy,
and unity, and enthusiasm, and hopefulness
in doing the Lord's work, and it best expresses
Wq rtnoiro finr thono vchpn nil ftrfi mfit. fntrfitbfir
for worship. Aud such services are of God's
appointment. And being his ordained means
for the benefit of the individual and the congregation,
we have reason to suppose, that he
will bless those who attend upon them in the
proper spirit.
"Pardon for Nothing."?Some time ago
when visiting an old man who seemed anxious
about salvation, I found great difficulty
in making him understand that pardon is the
free gift of God, through the precious blood
of Christ.
At last I said to him : "Now, suppose I
were to go to a shop, and buy something for
you aud pay for it, and send it to you, need
you pay any money for it?"
"No," said the old man, brightening up;
"it would be paid for."
"Need you make any promise to pay at
some future time ?" I then asked.
"No," he replied; "I should have it for
nothing."
"So," l'contmuea, "it is witn iorgiveness 01
siDs?the Lord Jesus has paid the full price
for it. He has had the groaus, the sighs, the
tears, the wrath, the paiu, the punishment,
yea, all that sin deserved. He bore it all.
He paid the whole. Yes, He bought forgiveness
with his precious blood, and now He
gives it as a gift to all who will accept it."
"Yes," said the old man, as his eyes filled
with tears, "I see it now; it is pardou for
nothing! Christ has bought it, and gives it
to me."
Dear reader, you may also believe that
Christ alone saves; that neither your tears
nor groans, nor prayers, nor works, can secure
forgiveness for you. Christ alone has secured
that hy the shedding of his blood, and you
must accept it in faith. "Believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved."
Water.?Some years ago a ship sailing in
the South Atlantic saw another making signals
of distress. They bore down toward the
sufferers, and hailed them.
"What is the matter?" cried the captain,
through his trumpet.
"We are dying for water," was the feeble
response.
"Dip it up, then 1" shouted back the astonished
captain, "you are in the mouth of the
Amazon river."
And sure enough, there those sailors were,
with parched lips and swollen tongues, supposing
that there was nothing but the ocean's
brine around them, when they were in the
mouth of the mightiest river on the globe,
with three hundred miles of fresh water all
around them.
Thus are we, poor thirsty souls, sailing on
the boundless ocean ol'God's love, heedless of
the Divine voice which saith, "If thou knewest
the gift of God, and who it is that saith to
thee, 'Give me to drink, thou wouldst have
asked of Him, and he would have given thee
living water."
Evil Example.?A man of cool head and
strong limbs was one day climbing a dangerous
precipice, and when he had reached one
specially perilous point, his heart grew cold
when he heard from below the voice of his
little son, and, looking down, saw the little
fellow clambering along the same path. The
purpose which was leading hira up that rugged
cliff was not so important as the life of
his son, and he promptly retraced his steps,
and his heart did not cease to throb with
alarm until he had led his little one back to
a place of safety, He never forgot the lesson.
Could each father remember that the footsteps
of their boys are just behind them, bow many
a sinful habit would be forsakon.
Happy Living.?The divine art of happy
living is to live as God's dear and blessed
child. Your Father is so rich that He owns
everything. He is so wise that He knows
everything. He is so mighty that He can i
do everything, He is so geuerous that He j
will not withhold any good thing from them
that love Him. He is so compassionate that'
He can never be iudiflferent to any pain or!
sorrow felt or feared by His child. Having
such a Father to provide for every want, you ;
ean surely dismiss all care, you can silence
every murmur, you can keep your heart in
perfect peace.?Rev. Dr. March.
'*? ; |
Look Outward.?We will not see much j
that is attractive and helpful by simply looking
towards. Standing at the mouth of a
cave and gazing towards its depths, we see but I
little aud cannot see far. It ia when we turn ;
the other way and see the landscape lying be-:
fore, all brilliant in the sunshine, that we find I
that which is worth our study. Let us look !
away from ourselves to Jesus, and studying
his person and work, we will be gladdened
with visions that will bring an eternal joy.-*-1

A Lion Story.?Some time ago, in Tunis,
a Sicilian athlete of Rinaldo's circus excited
general admiration by his manly beauty and
feats of strength. He was in the habit of
overcoming a lion during the performance,
which, however, was trained to succumb. The
Bey of Tunis, hearing of this, sent him an
offer of a thousand ducats if he would kill a
lion which he possessed. The proposal was
accepted, and on the day appointed the Bey
had a large company gathered around the pit
where the lion was kept.
The beast had been there three days without
food, and was furious. The iron door of
the pit opened, but instead of the athlete, a
trembling dog was thrown forward, which
timidly took refuge in a corner. The lion,
who was at a distance, turned in surprise at
the humble intruder. His tail ceased to lash
his side, his roars ceased, and he sat, with
paws extended, contemplating his victim.
Propelling himself forward upon his belly,
he finally made a spring. The dog, however,
who had watched him with a vigilant eye,
flnrnncr in the nnnnaite direction.
The liou seemed astonished at missing his
prey, but after rolling over a few times, made
another jump which was also avoided. Pity
for the dog induced the Bey to order a cord
to be lowered for him, and while the lion was
gyrating preparatory to a renewed spring, the
dog intelligently seized the cord with bis teeth
and was drawn up. As he ascended, the lion
sprang again, but was too late. At this moment
the Sicilian appeared, calm and fearless.
He was in rich circus costume, and carried a
heavy mace. He took his position in the
corner previously occupied by the dog. At
first the lion did not perceive him, but, on
turning, his eyes expressed a vague inquietude.
He slowly withdrew a few steps, watching his
enemy with a furtive and sidelong glance.
The Sicilian, on the contrary, looked straight
in his eye and watched every movement. The
lion evidently had misgivings, but impelled
by hunger, sprang upon the man with a terrible
roar.
The Sicilian slipped aside with agility,
and before the paws of the lion touched the
ground, a violeut blow from the mace upon
the head laid him insensible. The mace was
raised for the death blow, when the Bey interposed.
He offered the man another thousand
for the life of the beast. It was accepted,
and the lion was allowed to recover.
Mourning in France.?As regards mourning,
says a writer in Appleton's Journal, the
French are far more sensible than are we.
The rules of bowed shutters, and of wool and
crape habiliments of the hue of outer darkness,
donned for an indefinite length of time,
would appear absurd to this peculiarly intelligent
nation. Their rules on this head are
extremely precise, each shade and style of
mourning being severely regulated. A widow
must wear mourning for two years. She must
wear black woollen stuffs, with collar, cuffs
and veil of crape, for one year ; she must not
LTtycrr ur n i6 ucr nan, uuu one muoi ncm u
cap in the house during that period. At the
end of one year she can wear black silk trimmed
with black lace; this not very oppressive
custom is de rigueur for six months. During
the following six months all shades of violet,
gray aud lilac are permissible, after which,
her two-years' mourning having expired, she
can dress as she pleases. The mourning for
a parent or a child is to be worn for oue year;
six months of crape and bombazine, three
months of black silk and lace, and three
months of grays and purples. For a grandparenttbe
rule is six months, and for a brother
or a sister four months, the half of which
period only is to be passed in black stuff aud
crape. In deep mourning it is not considered
proper to wear kid gloves, cloth gloves being
considered appropriate; nor is any ornament,
even of dulled jet or Berlin iron, admissible.
When the head of a family dies, the servants
are put in mourning as well as the relatives.
Each servant receives from the heirs two complete
toilets, one for every-day wear, and one
for Sundays. Children under twelve years of
age are never put in mourning. Abstention
from society or worldly pleasures is marked
by the duration of the deep mourning only;
that is to say, for one year after the death of
a husband or wife, six months after that of a
child or parent, etc. it mignt seem, to our
exaggerated American notions of mourning
formalities, from the above rules, that the
French lacked affection as signally in all relations
of life as they do in the marital one.
Such, however, is not the case. The tie between
parent and child is a peculiarly close
and touching one among them. Not a lack
of affection, but a plenitude of sense, has dictated
the French regulations as regards
mourning.
The Laughing School.?Muggins is responsible
for the following: Young Pilkins,
who had just graduated from a medical college,
determined to strike out in a different
field from any that had been trod before. He
had read that laughter had been known to
cure desperate diseases, and his plan was to
establish the laughing school of medicine.
Novel idea, wasn't it? But, unfortunately
for the success of Pilkins' practice, he had
very queer ideas about what makes a person
laugh. He was called to prescribe for a man
who had the rheumatism, and he endeavored
to divert him by telling about the cases he
had known of men being crippled for life by
the disorder, ending with an amusing description
of a man whom rheumatism doubled up
in the form of a circle, until he died, and
they had to bury him in an enormous cheesebox.
To the surprise of young Pilkins the
man never smiled once, although it was a
i i 11 - ? A ? .1? ?*:?? i J
very laugnauie Hiury. .rviiuuior pnncut nau
bowel complaint, and Pilkina aat by bis
bedside for ao hour or more, relating humorous
incidents of the cholera of '34. That
man didn't laugh either, and Pilkins afterwards
said if he could only have got him to
laughing he would be alive now. He tried
his theory on a patient who was far gone
with consumption. He woald come every
day, and endeavor to get him laughing over
some facetious anecdotes about weak-lunged
men. He was really very anxious to save
that man, and he knew he could if he could
make him laugh once; yet the man grew
sadder and thinner and thinner as the stories
went on. But the man smiled one day. It
was when Pilkins told him he didn't believe
it was worth while to come any more, as he
didn't seem to be doing him any good ; and
after he had gone the man laughed right out,
and from that time began to get better. Pilkin's
theory was all right, undoubtedly, but
he didn't seem to have any judgment about
administering his remedy.
Sprains.?Hall's Journal of Health gives a
chapter on sprains, which may contain useful
hints to sufferers from them. Sprains or strains
of the joints are very painful, and more tedious
of reoovery than a broken bone. What we
call flesh is muscle; every muscle tapers down
to a kiud of string, which we call cord
or sinew. The muscle is above the joint, and
the sinewy part is below it, or vice versa, and
the action is much like that of a string over a i
pulley. When the ankle, for example is
"sprained," the cord, tendon or ligament (all
mean the same thing) is torn in parts or
whole, either in its body, or from its attach- [
raent to the bone, and inflammation?that is, j
a rush of blood to the spot?takes place as in-1
stantly as in case of a cut on the finger. Why ?
For two reasons, Some blood-vessels are ruptured,
and very naturally pour out their contents;
and, second, by an infallible physiological
law. an additional supply of blood is
sent to the part, to repair the damages, to
glue, to make grow together, the torn parts.
From this double supply of blood the parts
are overflown, ag it were, and push out, causing
what we call "swelling"?an accumulation
of dead blood, so to speak. But dead blood
cannot repair an iujury. Two things, then,
are to be done; to get rid of it, and to allow
the parts to grow together. But if the finger
be cut, it will never heal as long as the wound
is pressed apart every half hour, nor will a i
torn tendon grow together if it is stretched
upon by the ceaseless movement of a joint;
therefore, the first and indispensable step, in
every case of sprain, is perfect quietude of the
part; a single bend of the joint will retard
what nature has been hours in mending. It
is in this way that persons with sprained
ankles are many monthB in getting well. In
cases of sprain, then, children who cannot be
still should be kept in bed, and so with many
grown persons. The "swelling" can be got
rid of in several ways; by bandages, which in
all cases of sprain should be applied by a
skillful physician?otherwise mortification
and loss of limb may result. A bandage thus
applied keeps the joint still, keeps an excess
of blood from coming to the part, and by its
pressure causes an absorption of extra blood
or other extraneous matter. Another mode
of getting rid of the swelling is to let cold
water run on the part injured for hours.

THE TROPIC STOVE,
GREENSBORO. N. C.
THE COOKING STOVES manufactured atour
works in Greensboro, N. C.f give universal
satisfaction wherever introduced. They are made
of the BEST SCOTCH PIG METAL, with heavier
and thicker plate than any other Stove in the
market, and consequently will the longer withstand
heat and hard usage. They are of hand
some pattern and neat finish, and warranted equal
in every other respect to any Cooking Stove sold
in the United States, while it is confidently claimed
that they are the CHEAPEST. All the usual
pieces of ware and cooking utensils are furnished
with each Stove. An important consideration
with niirohaHftrs is the fact that our patterns and
sizes are never changed. Should a piece get accidentally
broken at any time, we can replace It at
the mere cost of casting. Not simply because it
is a home production, buton accountof its intrinsic
merits as an article of household economy, do
we ask the patronage of home purchasers. More
than ONE THOUSAND of these Stoves are now
in use, and among many others having them we
respectfully refer to the following: R. E. Guthrie,
D. M. Campbell, M. H. Currence, York county;
Mrs. Elizabeth J. Wylie, Chester; D. A. Gordon,
Gnthriesville; John A. Brown, Rock Hill; B. P.
Boyd, Joseph Herndon, L. M. Grist, Yorkville.
You can save the freight from the northern cities
and the dealer's profit, which is no small item,
by buying of us, and at the same time get a
STOVE THAT IS MORE DURABLE than those
of northern make. The following are our prices
