REMARKABLE LETTER From af' Gentleman Known and ‘Honored From the Atlantic to ~ the Pacific Coast,

I have tried all the reinedies that I conld find, bug without material or permanent benefit.

Hayes Interviewed on his Southern 5 Policy. f ;

CINCINNATI, Sept. 10.—A correspondent of the ‘Evening Times who interviewed President Hayes while en route to Fremont asked the President how ' he came to construct his policy, which was so seemingly at variance with his recent views while on the stump in his last gubernatorial campaign. Did it grow upon him gradually as the circumstances seemed to require? The President replied as follows: o : “Well, those views Legan to take form in ‘words of my letter of acceptance. I considered the situation of ‘things in the South; saw how impossible it seemed to restore order and peace and harmoeny; saw the violénce and bloodshed at their elections; how white republicans, as well as black, were shot down during their political contests, and I asked myself, why is.it, and-how long must this continue? Those men down south—the white educated citizens —are as good men as you- or I; they are Christians, not thieves, nor cutthroats, nor J’bandi‘ts, yet see. these things and tacitly approve of them. If they do not take ‘part in them, why is it and how long ‘will they continue? While thinking these questions over my 'mind averted to the scenes of the war, and an incident, the battle of Cedar Mountains, came to my mind. It was a hard fought engagement, and for a time we could not tell how it would end. We.‘ who were in command had determined that if a certain movement resulted in one way we would give certain orders; but if it resulted otherwise different orders would be given. "With" our field glasses we were watching the course of things. All at once I saw a commotion in the thickest ef the fray. The artillery had got to work; and were throwing shells fast and with unerring’ aim into the solid ranks of the enemy. Heads were being blown from their bodies, arms and legs torn from their sockets, and souls sent to one world from the other all unprepared, and yet I rejoiced and congratulated my brother officers that we were victorious. How could this be? Why was it? It was beecause we were at war. That one word solved in my mind the problem of the South. The people there were at war; there was contlict going on; the social and political relations of the people were not natural—not harmonious; there were disturbing elements among them, and whiie they were excited or were unduly active there would be conflict. - Let the causes of the conflict be re-: moved, and there will be peace, and ultimately harmony and prosperity.” “But,” said the reporter, “we do not see much disposition in the South to manifest a loving temper toward us of the North.” : .

The President mildly retorted: “How do you know? You form your opinions, no doubt, from veading the papers, but editors of newspapers do not always represent the popular general feeling of the people either north or south. I think most of the people in the South, as I know they are in the North, are more disposed to encourage fraternal, harmonious, social and business relations than the extremists who, unfortunately, too often get control of newspapers; but even these or most of them |will come around all right in time. ;

* The Demand for Wheat. Ohicago Tribune. The New York Z7émes, in drawing attentionto the recent articlesin the Tribune which made some valuable estimates on the wheat supply and the probable foreign demand for this year, makes some modifications of its own, which are worthy of consideration. Mr. James.Caird estimated that the amount of wheat that will probably be required by Great Britain wiil be 88,000,000 bushels, but other authorities have placed the British requirements as high as 96,000,000, and indeed this amount was imported by Great Britain last year in addition to the home product. The 7'ribune’s estimate was also based on the assumption that the foreign demand trom other quarters would be equal, and the supply from the Black Sea counitries would: fall off one-half; but the T'imes very justly points out that the foreign demand from countries other ‘than Great Britain will be likely to increase; that the deficiency from the Black Sea is likely to be more than one-half, and that probably the supply of other countries will fall short of the average. The T'ribune estimates were certainly . within bounds, and these possible modifications will only be the more favorable to American interests. If the crop shall preve to be as much as 325,000,000 bushels, ‘and there be a surplus of 111,000,000 (though this may be cut: down somewhat by an increased consumption at home), there is no doubt that, with the continuance of the Turko-Rus-sian war, Great Britain will take all the wheat we can supply at fair prices.

The Great Shoshonees Remedy Is an Indian vegetable compound,composed of the juices of a variety of remarkable medi€inal plants and herbs; the various properties of these differerent ingredients, when combined, is 8o constituted as td act simultaneously upon the Blood,Lungs, Liver, Kidneys, Digestive Organs, Nervous System,&c., restoring their functions to healthy action, and being purely vegetable, is as harmless as Nature’s own beverage. This medicine is a decided benefit in all, ‘and a permanent cure in a large majority of diseases of the blood, such as Scrofula, Erysipelas, Salt Rheum, Canker, Pimples, &c. In prescribing this medicine we do not claim that it always performs cures; but this we do say, that it purifies and enriches the blood, permanently curing a large majority of diseases arising from its impurities. It stands far ahead and unequaled among the hundreds of competing medicines of the day. It has stood the test of ten years, and is today more popular than ever. As a summer restorative it stands unrivaled; it enables the system to bear ug against the constant drain to which it is subjected by a high temperature. Persons who are subject to bilious Colie, Dysentery, Indigestion ete., ete., should take the Shoshonees Remedy. Price of the Remedy in pint bottles, $1; Pills, 25 cents a box. el _ Prelgar'ed only by FOSTER, MILLigonier by H. C. Cunningham.

While Hayes and his ¢rowd are junketing over the country in Tom Scott’s palace car, it is refreshing to note the fact that Gov. Tilden, in his European tour, has steadily refused every offer of free passes for any purpose whatever, He was proffered a special train to Dover and a free fpau on the steamer to Calais, both of which he refused, as well as public or civie courtesies, = e

. Cure for the Diphtheria. "Bo the Editor of the Cleyeland Herald. i A correspondent of a Victorian paper writes: “Should any of your family be attacked with the diphtp%w do not be alarmed, as it is usually and speedily cured without a doctor— When it was raging in England a féw | yﬁars ago I accompanied Dr. Field @n MWis rounds to witness the so-called “‘wonderful cures’ he performed. wiile the patients of others were drop on all sides. The remedy, (0 rapid, must be simple. Alllig= ‘with him was powdered sulphurage -a quill, and with these ,;,,%%; patient without excapb&h& :; 2 teaspoonful of flour of brimstone ifnto* a wine-glass of water and stirred it with his finger instead of a spoon, 88 the sulphur does not readily amalgamate with water. When the sulphur was well mixed he gave it as a gargle, and in ten ,minutes themﬁg - Was out of danger. Brimstone kills eyvery species of fungus in man,‘bégt"t and plants in a few minutes. Instead of spitting out the 'gargle, he recoms mended the swallowing of it. “Fn €S treme cases in which he had been ealled just in the nick of time, when the fungus was too nearly closing to allow the gargling, he blew the sulphate through a quill into the throat, and after the fungus had shrunk to allow of it, then the gargling. He never lost a patient from diphtheria. v “If a patient. cannot gargle, take a | live coal, put in on a shovel, and sprinkle a spoonful or two of flour of | brimstone at a time upon it; let the sufferer inhale it, holding the head over it, and the fugus will die. If plentifully used the whole room may be filled almost to suffocation, and the patient can walk about in it, inhaling the fumes, with doors and windows closed. The mode of fumigating a room with sulphur has often cured most - violent attacks of cold in the head, chest, etc.,, at any time, and is recommended in cases of consumption and asthma.”

Poor Opinion of Kansas. The Toronto G'nbe prints a long letter from an English farmer in Kansas. It is in the nature of advice to people contemplating removal to the States, and its burden is, “Don’t!” Kansas is very pretty to look at in summer, this homesick Briton says, but it is not nearly so pretty tolive in. He has tried it for ten years, and his eyes have been thoroughly opened. Itisa feast or a famine all the time. One year he has sold corn for ten cents a bushel, and the very next year has had to buy it for $2.50. Ifany farmer has made money at legitimate farming, he doesn’t happen to have met him.— Even ‘as a grazing country, Kansas isn’t what it was, and it is deteriorating every year. In the decade he has seen four crops of wheat winter-kill-ed,: and four seasons of grasshoppers —five, counting the present one. The hot south wind that blows during July and August is a sort of moonsoon, a 8 destructive as disagreeable. Then the ways of the natives are not as English ways, nor their morals as English morals. It is impossible, in this observer’s judgment, for old country people to become . Americanized.— “Americanizing,” he explains, “means sharpening up, and it means whittling down to the véry keenest point of polished, brazen impudence, if not of rascality itself.” We infer thatthe Globe’s correspondent has been unfortunate {)n his investments and with his neighors.

The Colored Brethren. Eokemo Dispatch. ; ¢ 5 Tt is evident that the lease the republican party has-for so long held on the colored race in America is soon to be broken and the voting of that people divided as is that of the whites on all questions of "public policy submitted to the votes of the people. At Columbus, Ohio, the other night, several hundred colored ecitizens met together and formally threw off the yoke of Radicalism by forming themselves into a democratic club and adopting the following resolutions: = i : S

“WIHEREAS, In our opinion, the socalled republican party does not recogniza equal rights to the black race, and ought from the faects to be called the Anristocratic party, because jealousy and hatred is the spirit and embodiment of thiat party; thérefore, Resalved, That the democratic party is the only ‘one that recognizes equal rights to all mankind, regardless of color or condition, and that we will by all honorable means work for the good of our race and the democratic party this fall, to secure the election of the nominees of that party to office by the use of the ballot box in this State.” i :

The Demand for Gold, Tnesday’s Chicq,go Tribune. o A dispatch received on ’Change yesterday announced that the large amount of gold withdrawn from the Bank of ingland on Saturday was on account of the German Government, and that an advance in the bank rates of discount might be expected. Every demand for gold for purposes of exportation, when of any unusual amount, has an effect on the rate of discount ‘at the Bank of England.— Germany has been for several years trying to collect gold enough to replace her silver. The déemand for gold. in exchange for silver has had the effect of reducing the relative value of the silver. If, in addition to the wants of Germany, Mr. Secretary Sherman shall try to gather between now and the day fixed for resumption that several hundred millions of dollars in gold he may need for that purpose, he wilt probably discover that if he can get it at any price he will have to offer. something more attractive than 4 to 415 per cent. bonds.

Ask Yourself These Questions. Are you a despondent sufferer from sick headache, habitual costiveness, palpitation of the heart? Have you dizziness of the head? Is your nervous system depressed? Does your blcoed circulate badly? . Have you a cough? Low spirits? Coming up of the food after eating? &c., &e.

' i Prayer and War. The press has done much to gi the public a false impression of fhe religious side of Jackson’s ché He was a member of the Presb - church, a strictly Christian, gentleman. But he wasn got nor Pharisee. e held his ewndevotion in secret. ema de of his religion, nor pressec eed upon Lany one; he was NOEEEEEEEIIN in very much in the dark as fo_ thelr ligious faith. The fact is this Preshy: terian elder, as he is sometimes calls d, became such by marriage. The first prayers said oveir*’{y,im‘;"weréi thosego .the pious Methodist mother—altho! it appears ﬁ&hhwnﬁ he was#n more pious than the average young, ‘man. When in Mexico he wa¥ nears ly persuaded to be a Romanist: He Aafterward was a member of the Epis‘copal chiirch and finally mtlag&mzn own in the Presbyterian church, to which ‘his wife belonged. When the Louisiana brigade applied for a chaplain he recommended that a priest be sent them, because a large majority were Roman Catholics.- His own devoutness was illustrated by the purity of his life, not by professions, and his faith and simplicity were well known to his troops. He often attended their services and prayer meetings, night or day, and kneeling in the midst of the same scarred veterans he had led in 80 many battles, he led them in prayer to the Lord of hosts. When he was thus in camp all:noise was hushed; dropping their cards, and all other amusements, old men and young gathered around him, standing ‘and kneeling with uncovered heads in sacred silence. A thousand hands would have been raised to smite the impious wretch who dared to scoff when Stonewall Jackson prayed.

Can This Be So ? The New York Sunsays that the argument upon the Florida case before the late electoral commission in Washington, Judge Bradley wrote out his opinion and his decision in full. He completed it at about 6: o’clock in the evening on the day before the judgment of the commission was to be announced, and read it to Judge Clifford: and Judge Field, who were likewise members of the commission. It contained first, an argument, and secondly, a conclusion. The argument was precisély the same as that which appears in the published document; but Judge" Bradley’s conclusion was that the voles of the Tilden electors in Florida were the only votes which ought to be counted as coming from that State.

“This was the character of the paper when Judge Bradley finished it, and when he communicated it to his colleagues. During the whole of that night Judge Bradley’s house in Washington was surrounded by the carrlages of visitors who came to see him ’aapparentlv about the decision of the electoral commission, ‘which, as we -have said, was to be announced the next day. These visitors Included leading Republicans as well as persons deeply interested in the Texas Pacific railroad schemse.” “When the commission assembled the next morning, and when the judgment was declared, Judge Bradley gave his voice in favor of counting the votes of the Hayes electors in Florida! The argument he did not deliver at the time; but when it came to be printed subsequently it was found to be precisely the same as the argument which he had originally drawn -up, and on which he had based his first conclusion in favor of the Tilden elec‘tors.” : : :

Water Drinking. Dr. Hall is .opposed to the immoderate drinking of water. He says: “The longer one puts off drinking in the morning, especially in the summer, the less he will require during the day. If much is drunk during the forenoon the thirst cften increases and a very unpleasant fullness is observed, in addition to a metallic taste in the mouth. The less a man drinks the better for him, beyond a moderate amount. The more water a man drinks the more strength he has to expend in getting rid of it, for all the fluid taken into the system must be carried ouf, and there is but little nourishment in water, tea, coffee, beer, and the like; more strength is expended in carrying them out of the system than they impart to it, “The more a man drinks the more he perspires, either by lungs or through the skin; the more he perspires the more carbon is taken from the system; but carbon is necessary for nutrition, hence the less a man is nourished the less strength he has.— Drinking water largely diminishes the strength in two ways, and yet many are under the impression that the more water swallowed the more thoroughly is the system *“washed out.” Thus the less we drink at meals the better for us. If the amount were limited to a single cup of hot tea or hot miik and water at each meal, an immeasurable good would result to all. Many persons have fallen into the practice of drinking several cups of hot tea or coffee at meals, out of mere habit. All such will be greatly. benefited by breaking it up at once. It may be very well to drink a little at each meal, and perhaps it will be found that in all cases it is much better to take a single cup of hot tea at each meal than a glass of cold water, however pure. © ‘

« VWithout a Newspaper. Cannelten Enquirer and Reporter. Nothing presents a sadder commentary upon the present condition of so-. ciety than the large number of families, both in town and country, but more especially in the latter, that subscribe to no paper of any kind. Hundreds and thousands of families are thus growing up utterly ignorant of what is transpiring in the world around them—ignorant of the mighty events of the day. But who can tell the vast amount of injury that is be- | ing inflicted on the rising generation —those who are to take our place in the busy world at no distant day—growing up without any knowledlg]e» of the present, or any study of the past, this ignorance, too being imbued into them by the sanction of those. who shoulg.»"ﬂgnd ?rubably do, know better, did'they only think of the injurious effect of their insane course, Let the head of every iami‘l_iyfthl_nk of this, and place in the hands of those for whom he is responsible the means of acquiring some knowledge of the .movi,ug, panorama in- which we act our different parts, =~ Satchels at F.
