Folly of Some Newspaper*. The “damphool” family can always be depended on to make themselves not only ridiculous but public nuisances Certain Republican newspapers that are defending the old school-book infamy, come under this designation. Their course in this matter and toward the Clay County miners will militate seriously against the Republican party in the next election. I will require all the wisdom and energy of the party leaders to counteract their foolDh • ness.—Evansville Journal, republican.

I have just discovered tiiat if any person subject top ’rkly heat in summer will hatho the places in a weak solution of saleratus water and dry them with a soft doth, and afterwards powder 1 mv, H.'i a powder made of ? mil i arts of fuller’s earth and Hee Hour, they will have perfect ease. It should be done night ami morning in the hot weather, and if a mosquito bites you, don’t try any heroic remedy, but simply apply a little cold cream, which somehow over comes the poison and irritation when nothing else will. I have seen children that were nearly wild with the irritation of many mosquito bites calmed in a moment by fir. appli cation of cold cream. Olive Harper.

Just think of it. Chil d ren starving to death in this land of plenty. Not las aiu e their parents are lazy, or will not work, but bn rii’i v.; th > “co il b'arons” of Illinois hnve locked the men out, and refuse to let them work. On F’v?L?y List, twin babies, O months old, starved to death at Spring Valley, Hl., the mot er was starving and co ’.ld give no sustainance to the infants or obtain any thing for them to eat. How long will, it lake of this kind of treati. c ■ L orn “barons” to turn the n't •;ng miners into communists.

United States Senator Evarts, it is understood iu North Dakota, wrote for a fee ol 1500 the draft of the con stitution which was handed in for the consideration of the North Dakota Constitutional Convention, and whose com pleteness surprised the rm in bers of that body. The coal operators of Win ois, refuse to arbitrate with the miners they have locked out. The miners must work at thestarvat on rate offered, or starve to death without* work. They have accepted" the latter plan as the easiest. The baby King of Spain had fouateen doctors lhe last time he was sick.
