Semetiling Worth Knowing.

Every- little while we read in the papers of some oqe who has stuck a rusty nail in his foot, or knees, or hand, or some other portion of his .body, and that lock jaw resulted therefrom, of which the patient died. If every person was aware of a perfect remedy for all such wounds, and apply it, then all such reports must cease. But, although we can give the remedy, we cannot enforce its application. Borne will not employ it tiecause they think it too simple; others will have no faith in it when they read it; while others think such a wound of small account, and not worth fussing over, untill it is too late to do any good. Y-ct all such wounds can be healed-without tiie fatai conselKiencos which follow them. The remedy is simple,, almost always on hand, and can.be applied by any one, vtnl wlmt is better, it is infallible. It is simply to smoke tlie wound,-or any bruise or wound that, is inflamed,,with burning wool or woolen cloth. Twenty minu es in the smoke of wool will take the pain out of rhe worst wound, repeated two or three times, it will all y ilie worst case of inflammation arising from a wound. People may sneer at the “old man’s remedy" as much as they please, but when they ■ are afflicted, just let them try it. It lias saved many lives and much pain, and is worthy of being printed in letters of gold and put in every home.

To Ohio Democrats, Greeting. 1 The following is the greecing which our State Central Committee send to the gallent Democrats of Ohio: Inl.iahapoi.is, I hd., July 26, 1879. To the Democratic Centred Committee of the State of Onio: Gentlemen —The Democratic party of Indiana bear grateful memory of I the aid and comfort sent from Ohio- ! in past political contests in this | State. While our struggle for political ascendency was still in doubt, your distinguished citizens and orators came to our assistance. The ascendency of our party oeing now assured, we have time to remember our obligations to the Ohio Democracy, and 10 gratify our anxious desire to repay past favors. Our two States lie in the same zone of Agriculture and commerce, and our political interests and sympathy are common. Like our river they commingle and flow in the same direction. Even in a local political struggle our sympathies and good wishes would be with the Democracy of Ohio. But iu a campaign like that upon which you have now entered, the result of which may determine the political campaign of your State, and of the Nation also, we fell a deep and peculiar interest. For nearly a fifth of a century the Republican party has contested tiie administration or the General Government. For the first fifth of that period, while Lincoln lived, it was to some extent guided and influenced by his great spirit, but since that time it has forgotten country and extolled party, and has beeu governed solely by base - partisan desire to maintain its own supremacy at whatever cost. Its unholy mission is to engender sectional animosity, and thus maintain power through a “Solid North.” In its greed of power it squanders the fruits of the war. When the people uprose against it three years ago, and by an overwhelming rote decreed that its corns; of iufamy shall cease, it defeated their will by a fraud t) which, iu unmitigated and shameless infamy, history furnishes no parellel. That party is deliberately seeking to perpetuate its power by destroying the National welfare of the Southern States, and while its ruthless oppression has forced those States into combined opposition to its destructive sway, it seeks to alarm aud embitter the North by false and groundless fears of a new rebellion. It marches under its detestable bloody symbol aud deprecates a “Solid South,” though both North and South may thereby become involved in th« common ruin. Iu your gallant struggle to overthrow this party of fraud, plunder and crime, may Heaven prosper you. In this struggle you have our fullest sympathy auc our hartiest wishes for your success, and whatever of assistance the Democracy of ludiana maybe able to extend to you is at your disposal. With great respect we are, etc., B. C. Shaw, Chairman. James H. Rice, Secretary.

The respect shown the union soldier by the Republican party is not as sincere as iu profession, and tiie recent action of Mr. Secretary McCrary is confirmatory of this declaration. For some time there has beeu employed in the office of the Quartermaster General tiie widow of Colonel Long, of the United States Army. Colonel Long, in a fit of temporary insanity some years ago. committed suicide on account of the intense suffering he had daily to bear from wounds received iu battle. His widow last week was summarily turned out of office, and with three children, is thrown upon the cold charity of the world. Ihe contrast to this picture is vivid. In the office of tiie Public Printer, the patronage of which is distributed by the Republicans is the widow, daughter,sou and son-in-law of Colonel Yager of Mississippi, who some years ago, in tiie streets of Jackson, assassinated Colonel Crane, of the United Mates Army, who at the time commanded the military forces stationed at Jackson. And yet another instance of Republican ingratitude to the soldier: A few days ago Jasper W. Johnson was appointed by Secretary McCrary to a first class clerkship in the War Departmen, and to make room for him a union soldier was dismissed. Johnson turned up here during Bristow’s administration of the Treasury Department, and was sent by Bristow to Cincinnati as an Inspector of Customs, to aid in fixing up the delegations for Bristow’s Presidential candidacy. For this service he was paid S9OO. Since then ho lias been floatin t about Washington after the manner of Micawber. He finally made it appear by some method of reasoning, peculiarly his own, that he had helped Hayes after Bristow’s chances had faded, and he is now turned in to feed at tiie public crib while the union soldier, whose place he takes, is turned out to grass.

The New York Sun refers to Gen. Hancock as a Democratic candidate for-President, thusly: “There are many strong points in his favor. A. West Pointer, and au officer of hitch rank in the regular army, he is yet an upholder of the as’eendency of the civil over military authority. His published political letters, so fat as the sentiments they express are concerned, might have come from the pen of Thomas Jefferson. Efforts have sometimes been made to produce the impression that they really did come from the pen of Jeremiah S. Black. We have good reason for believing this is not true. But even if it were, it would detract little or nothing from the merit of &en. H ncock, for if the sentiments did not originate with him he is entitled to the credit of having adopted them. Were not most of Washington’s state papers substantially composed by Hamilton? And has that circumstance dimmed in the least tiie lustre of Washington’s renown? But we believe Hancock wrote his own public communications, because we have seen private letters in his own hand quite as strongly expressing the same views. Gen. Hancock may, therefore, be set down as a statesman of the sound Jeffersonian school, As a soldier and a citizen Gen. Han cock is without reproach. He is said to be personally popular with the thousands who have served under him. It is not unlikely that before the nomination he will be a good deal more talked about than at present.” When a Republican talks about dangers from the “solid South,” take what' he says with a large grain of allowance. When the South was solidly Republican there was no complaint from 'that side, and the plain truth is that it became solidly Democratic because the Republicans stole instead of governing down there; auil the people, who have anything left tobe stolen, have the same dislike to see the carpet-baggers return to power which honest citizens of New York would experience if it were proposed to re-establish the Tweed ring. —New York Herald.
