Toe mast is said to be uncommonly heavy in Jefferson County. So great is the beechnut crop also that farmers find it profitable to bring it to the city and sell it to the grocers and confectioners like chestnuts. At Richmond, on the 15th, while serving a warrant for the arrest of John Stone, for stealing wheat, Deputy-Sheriff Stratton shot at him seven times. Three of the shots took effect, and then the rascal allowed himself to be taken to jail. A boiler in the Occidental Hotel, at Indjanapolis, exploded a few afternoons a ■jo, tearing out a side-wall and shaking the structure from turret to foundation. * The damage, considering the imminent risk, was light and no one was hurt The accident was attributed to low water.

After six months of married life he coolly deserted his wife and then sent her a letter informing her that his name was not . only not D. G. Biggs, but that he. had a wife and children elsewhere. It waa a cruel and heartless proceeding. While six men were carefully watching a store m Indianapolis the other night, having received information of a contemplated raid by burglars, a pair of sharp robbers succeeded in entering the store, and carried off a considerable sum - of money. The thieves were captured after leaving the place by the police, the private watchmen remaining in total ignorance of the burglary until morning. The Grand Lodge I. O. O.

Not long ago a man named D. Craft, residing at Lake Station, purchased of a druggist an ounce and a hall of worm-seed-oil to give to his four children who were troubled with worms. He administered it to all of them in doses of from four to eight drops three times a day, according to the directions pf the druggist. One of the children refused to swallow the medicine and was saved, but the other three died and were buried in one grave. DoctOmxliffer as to the power of the medicine, and at the inquest some testified that the doses were too large, while others insisted that they were not. No blame is attached to the father, but, ou the contrgiy, great sympathy is felt for him. The jjeople rather blame the druggist, who is thought to have been criminally .93*?-

Speeie Payments and the Debtor Class.

Yesterday we referred to the fact that of a currency at par with specie value would be highly beneficial to the country, bu they are jjereonally in debt, under contracts made m depreciated currency, ami specie payments would compel them to pay fifteen cents more on the dollar in satisfaction of their debts than they will have to pay if the currency remain at its present value. These persona are honest; they owe debts which are to mature within one or more years, and they shrink from any measure which seems to have the effect to add fifteen cents on the dollar of the-amount tney will hare to pay. It is easy to understand how personal considerations influence men’s votes and actions, and how men, however convinced of the general evil of a depreciated currency, object to being compelled to 15 per cent, for which they have received no consideration. Outside of the bankrupt and desperate speculators who do not want money worth even eighty-five cents, but who want it run down to fifty or forty cents on the dollar—and the lower the better for them—this objection to paying debts for which there is no consideration is the only one which influences thousands of honest and intelligent persons in opposing a resumption of specie payments. Can tills objection be removed by any measure which will facilitate specie resumption without disturbing existing relations between debtors and creditors, and which will not contract the volume of legal-tenders for the payment of debts? We taink such a measure not only practicable, but highly essential to any resumption of specie payments. Let Congress this winter enact: 1. That the holder of greenbacks, upon presentation of them to the Treasury Department, be entitled to receive in exchange therefor 4 per cent, gold bonds, of the denomination of SSO or SIOO, or any multiple of SIOO. 2. That these bonds, having thirty years to run from the date of issue, be made legal-tenders in the payment es all debts and contracts made before, say, the 4th of July, 1876. 3. That the legal-tender for all contracts made after that date shall be the coin of the United States, except when payment otherwise may be expressly stipulated. Here, then, we have the problem of specie payments solved without any disturbance of the relations of debtor and creditor. For all purposes of payment of debts the greenbacks in their new form of bonds will be available. The bonds themselves will, at present prices of money, be worth about eighty to eighty-five cents on the dollar in coin. The Government 5 per cents, are worth par, and the 4 per cents, would range from eighty to eightyfive cents. They will continue to be bought and sold as the currency now is, for the purpose of making payments of debt, and will pass from hand to hand as currency in all transactions over fifty dollars. For thirty years these bonds or the unfunded currency will continue to serve as a legal-tender for debts already contracted, and that period will cover all existing liabilities of individuals, corporations and municipal governments. No man or municipality will be called upon to pay debts in any other currency than that in which they were contracted. At the time by law for the beginning of new contracts under the coin le-gal-tender, there will not be the slightest difficulty in finding all the gold necessary. As we have repeatedly shown, the volume of currency actually handled in the payment of debts is comparatively very small. It is less than 8 per cent. The exchanges of the country are made by the transfer of credits through the agency of the banks. . The greenback currency and the legal-tender bonds will take the place, in the general business of the country, that the currency now occupies in the business of California. Greenbacks can be disposed of in Canada, England or France; that is, they # will be taken in exchange for gold at their current value.. A considerable proportion of the business of Canada is done in American currency. Canada will sell all she has for greenbacks—taking them at their market value. In California and on the Pacific coast the greenbacks are received in all business transactions for what they are worth in coin. Bo when gold and silver are made the legal-tender in all new contracts the paper currency will be used as now, except that instead of being the measure of prices it will be takeri'at its coin value. The currency will lose none of its purchasing power and will be relieved from most of its fluctuations when it passes into the shape of 4 per cent, legal-tender gold bonds. The only change will be that it will be received in the purchase of property and in payment of labor at its market value, which may be estimated at about 85 per cent., with a tendency to increase in a few years to 90 per cent. After the day named all new debts to or from banks will be on the basis of specie values; all new deposits will be received at their value in gold, and will be payable on demand in gold value; and, except in the case of old debts, the banks will practically resume specie payments without shock or difficulty. The demand for gold in the United States at present is almost limited to the sum needed for payment of duties, which is again paid out in the shape of interest on the public debt," and for transmission abroad to pay for our purchases and other foreign liabilities to the extent that our exports do not cover. The uses for gold in this country being increased, gold, übeying the inevitable laws of trade, will flow hither in sufficient quantity to meet all needful demands. We published a few days ago the fact that some of the New England cotton-mills have begun the exportation of their manufactures. A return to a specie standard would make the export trade general; the country would manufacture more, having the foreign market as weH as the domestic in which to sell. Instead of exporting gold to pay our foreign balances we would woolen cloths, and iron and wooden goods. The world will eorne here to buy, if we will only adapt our financial system to that of the commerce of mankind. We will have specie payments, leaving debtors and creditors to settle all existing contracts in paper; but for the new century we will begin on the healthy and permanent basis of speoie values, and contracts in honest money having a Vtlto.—Ckicayo Triune,

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Anne Page C axe —One pound of butter, two pounds of flour, one pound sugar; baked like ginger cake. Cor Game-—Nine cups of flour, four cups of butter, six cups of sugar, two cups of milk, three eggs, spice. . When blinds and doors do not close snugly, but leave cracks through which* drafts enter, the simplest remedy, recommended by Mr. Schuetse, Building Commissioner in Dresden, Germany, is this: Place a strip of putty along the jambs, cover the edge of the blind or door with chalk, and shut it. The putty will then fill all spaces which would remain open and be pressed out where not needed, while the excess is removed with a knife. The chalk rubbed on the edges prevents the adhesfon of the putty to the blind or door, which then can be opened without adhesion, and the putty is left in place, where it soon dries and leaves a perfectly fitting jamb. : ; ' - . . Cream Cake. —Make a batter of one cup of sugar, one cup of flour, twoeggß, four tablespoonfuls of sweet milk, half teaspoonful of the best soda, one teaspoonful cream-tartar or better, 6ne and a half teaspoonfuls baking powder. Bake this in three thin cakes on shallow pie-plates. For the cream take half a pint of milk and, scalding it, stir in two teaspoonfuls of corn starch wet with cold milk. Beat one egg and stir in with one tablespoonftil of sugar. Lay the thin cakes one above another when Cold, with the cold cream spread between them. Some would prefer the cakes made like sponge cake, to avoid the soda and cream-tartar. In cases of ordinary sore throat the simplest and best treatment is the wet pack, using a linen cloth wrung from cold water, and over this a knit or crocheted yard band, four feet long and four inches wide. Apply this two or three nights in succession, unless it is a very serious case, when the pack should be be kept on during the day. If taken off in the morning, wash the throat in very cold water and rub dry with a coarse towel and with the hand. This will prevent taking more cold. The more friction used the better; let it be a sort of squeezing of the parts so as to affect the deep-seated tissues. Sore throats may be prevented by these means from becoming chronic. —Herald of Health. Most of your readers have a coffee-mill in the Abuse. Most of them can get a little bag of wheat. Any sort of good wheat will serve them. The most of people can grind coffee at home. Anybody who can grind coffee can grind wheat in the same mill, and then the rest of the way to make a breakfast fit for an Emperor is very simple. When the wheat is run through the coffee-mill steep it in water; set it on the stove and let it burst its already broken sides all the afternoon, at convenience. The next morning cook it about half an hour, like any other mush, with plenty of salt. Set it on the table hot; serve with it a bowl of milk; or, still better, milk and cream; and there is the richest and most wholesome meal that can be produced. No tampering with sugar or anything else. After that there is no need of any beefsteaks for half a day or longer. It is called cracked wheat. It is the perfection of nourishment for work.— Cor. Cincinnati Times.

How to Secure Healthy Homes.

One of the most valuable and important papers read at the recent session, in Baltimore, of the American Public Health Association was by Dr. Ezra M. Hunt, on the general subject of securing health in the construction and warming of houses. The principle upon which the doctor lays most emphasis in his paper is this: “ Guard against stagnation either in air or moisture.” This principle must be borne in mind in every detail of house construction. In sinking a cellar, for example, the majority of builders pay very little attention to the amount of moisture* which exists in the surrounding soil. How many people who have the chance of doing so, think of Insisting on a thorough system of side-drains, and are fully awake to the danger of making their inclosed cellar simply “a large terminal drain” or “ an expanded partof a continued drain” ? But a properly-drained cellar is one of the most important requisites for health in a house. Another point to which too little attention is paid is the free circulation of air in the basement floor. Partitions are constructed without apy reference whatever to their influence in intercepting atmos pheric currents, and confined closets and middle rooms are thrown in to serve as “ hiding-places for contagion and foul air.” Handy conductors for the vitiated atmosphere thus formed in cellar and basement are found in stairways and dumb-waiters connecting with the upper floor, and the inmates are condemned to inhale the poison generated below, instead of the pure air, whose abundant supply they have unconsciously taken infinite pains to cut off. Dr. Hunt also lays considerable stress upon the necessity of avoiding the use of a too dense building material, or at least of so modifying that density by the proper use of porous mortar as to prevent it from interfering with the sanitary principles of house construction. On this point he lays down the salutary rule that “a house should be constructed of such materials as to admit air, and so arranged in all its parts as to promote the insensible motion of outside air through the structure. The arrangement of heating apparatus should be made especially, with this object in view. The doctor makes a strongplea for the liberal use of open fireplaces, and for careful attention to the securing of a thorough draft in flues. The prevailing vices of house construction tend to confine the function of heaters—in a hygienic sense—to the evaporation of moisture from the walls, to the warming of the stone and lime, in fact, rather than to providing a constantly-renewed supply of moderately-heated air for the dwellers in the house. The enervating character of most of our heating arrangements is well illustrated by a reference to the ease and comfort with which or e may ride in the open air, with a great-coat, at a season when it is found impossible to secure a comfortable bodily temperature in-doors. Thb New Sttle or BcHool, by Prof. W. P. Jones, Evanston, 111., where common-school, business and early college studies are taught in the duol tneth'id instead of la classes, receives the approval of business men and the best teachers.

Gentian was our grandmothers’ hobby for a tonic, and no bitter would be considered complete without it; hence it enters into nearly all. But experience has provid that it is injurious to the stomach if frequently used. A far better tonic is found in Chtarana Bitters. Butter and cheese are almost indispensable articles of food. Properly used, they are nutritious and healthy; but an inordinate use of either causes indigestion and dyspepsia. Parsons' Purgative Pills, judiciously used, will remove both of these troubles.

win be found to possess those qualities necessary to the total eradication of ail bilious attacks, prompt to start the secretions of the liver, and give a healthy tone to the entire system. Indeed, it is no ordinary discovery In medical science to have invented a remedy for these oompl sluts, which develop all the results produced by a heretofore five use of calomel, a mineral justly dreaded by mankind, and acknowledged to be destructive in the extreme to the human system. That the properties of certain vegetables comprise all the virtues of calomel without its injurious tendencies is now an admitted fact, rendered indisputable by scientific researches; and those who nse the Mandrake PBis will he fully satisfied that the' best medicines are those provided by nature in the common herbs and roots of the fields. These pills open the bowels and correct all billons derangements without salivation or any of Utc injurious effects of calomel or other poisons.
