Ti vttt a "v Cokn-. Mr Lindsay, who
dates from Abinerdon. Va.. has been ad
virtiinT P-Vvntian torn, ami farmers
havt been baying it, paying fire dollars
for ton grains, sent in a letter. What
w as the trrc.it merit claimed by th ven
dor for the Iv.rypti.in corn pccu we Know
not ; hut or i ;ii"nlv the fanners aforesaid
have been a'dtf to discover none. The
experience of JStr. John W. McCue, of
Albemarle, is as follows : He planted
the ten grains in rich land half a mile
from other corn. Nine grains came up,
crowing each to a 6ingle straight stalk,
like other corn, and each having one
single ear of corn very indifferent yel
low corn. So ranch for Lgynlian corn
at live dollars for ten grain !
Colonel J. Marshall McCue, ofAn
crusta. whom we all know, had a simi
lar experience with Mr. Lindsay at live
dollars for ten grains. Now, Lindsay
presumes upon these grains of success,
nn.l tantalizes the cultivators of the
Egyptian with a further proposal,
through a pamphlet which comes along
with the corn, to cure any kind of dis
ease, and, furthermore, for twenty-five
cents to " srive instructions by which
the -'commonest metals can be convert
ed into "gold!" This Lindsay is a great
wag. Mr. McCue says he has learned
that L. is a farmer in easy circumstances,
living near Abingdon, and that lie re
sorts to these tricks upon the credulous
" merely for amusement." Now, he is a
capitol fellow this Lindsay. He has
certainly great talents. ITe should not
hido his" light under a bushel in the ob
scure part of the world from which he
dates his advertisements, but should
appear on a theatre more worthy of his
genius. Richmond Disjmtch.

Legislatures in the Eastern States are
all co-operating heartily in the effort to
restore choice varieties of fish to those
rivers in which they have been exter
iru'.vted through the agency of mill
dams and other artificial barriers. In
almost every State commissioners have
been appointed to study the habits of
fish in the ascent of rivers to their spawn
ing beds, and laws have been passed to
Becuro the pijeatory tribes in the rights
of propagating their specios. In Massa
chusetts, with the approval of the New
Hampshire commissioners, substantial
progress has been made by construct
ing fish-ways on the Merrimae River
at Lowell and Lawrence. That at
Lowell is of the kind known as the
" double stair," consisting of parallel
lines of tanks, each of which is twelve
feet square and a foot higher than the
one next below, all built of masonry
and timber, to resist the ice and freshets.
The fish-way at Lawrence is a kind of
sloping dam, twelve feet wide, with a
fall of one foot in ten, and intermediate
tanks in which the fish may rest. On
the Connecticut no fish-ways have yet
been built, but the proprietors of the
new dam building at Turner's Falls
have been notified that fish have rights
that must be respected, and a fish-way
at Hadley Falls is in contemplation.
The New Hampshire commissioners
have planted about 20,000 salmon ova
in the Pcmigewasset. These are ex
pected to hatch next spring.
Croup. In the early part of spring
many children dio of croup. In only
forty-eight hours it may carry a child
from perfect health to the grave. It
originates iu a cold, and in a majority
of the cases, is the result of exposure to
dampness, either of the clothing or of
the atmosphere.
Hall's Journal of Health says they
should be kept as warm clad, at least
until May, as in the depth of winter,
they should not be allowed to remain
out of doors later than sundown, when
they should be brought into a warm
room, their feet examined and made
dry and warm, their suppers taken and
then sent to bed, not to go outside the
doors until the next morning after
breakfast. During February, March,
and until the middle of April, especial
ly when snow is on the ground, chil
dren under eight years of age should
not be allowed to be out of doors at all
later than four o'clock in the afternoon,
unless the sun is shining, or unless they
are kept in bodily motion so as to keep
off a feeling of chilliness. The com
monest sense dictates the instant send
ing for a physician in case of an attack
from croup, but the moment a messen
ger is dispatched have three or four
flannels, dip them in water as hot as
your hand can bear, and apply them
successively to the throat of the child,
hot all the time, so as to evaporate the
matters, which, if retained, cause the
clocking up inside which soon stops the
breath. Hot water should constantly
De added to that in which the flannels
are thrown,, so as to keep it all the time
hot. Keep the water, from dribbling
on the clothing of the child, and see to
it that the feet are dry and Avarm,
Most likely the child will be out of dan
ger before the physician arrives, and it
is pleasant to be able to turn over the
responsibility o him. Loose couch
freer breathing and a copious discharge
01 pniegm indicate reuei ana saiety,
Peace or "War in Europe. An
almost universal apprehension seems to
prevail that a great war is imminent m
Europe. After the nine days' campaign
of last year, by which Prussia became
a first clas9 power, it appeared that
everybody was dissatisfied. Italy and
Prussia, thongh successful, had not
gained all they wished ; Austria had
lost on both sides ; France had gained
nothing, and Kussia nothing. But
when peace was established, all the
powers loudly proclaimed their desire
for permanent peace, and at the same
time set to work earnestly to augment
their armies and supply them with
needle-guns. This process of augmenta
tion has been going on, until the arma
ment is greater than ever known before.
and is quite aa expensive as flagrant
war. As an instance, oweden is men
tioned, which, with a population of five
millions, has a standing army of 500,
000 men. All the 6mall powers have
taken the alarm and fear being absorbed
or annexed, and hence their gigantic
preparations. But their augmentations
are only in ..proportion to their. more
powerful neighbors. If -war do not
come to relieve the situation, or unless
the nations of the earth come to some
understanding for the redaction of their
armies, universal bankruptcy must be
the consequence.'

the color and texture of polished ivory, removing
all discolonitions whether appearing us ireckles,

is especially successful in smoothing out the

It really adds to the softness and beauty of the
skin.

I have suffered so much from the various white
lotions, &c, which my theatrical profession ob

natural bloom and freshness to the complexion
