The New York Sun of the 12th til- |
timo seems to understand our senior
Senator, judging from the following:
Hippie Mitchell, in his speech in
the Senate defending his scheme to se­
cure a new land grant for tho benefit
of Jay Gould and the Union Pacific,
admitted that the country was thor­
oughly sick of the system of subsidies
to railroads. Hippie also condescend­
ingly remarked that the universal pub­
lic sentiment was “in a great measure
well founded.” We are truly delight­
ed to hear Hippie say this. He is a
statesman of such gigantic stature, ami
up to tho time that Mr. Thompson, at 1
present member of Congress from ■
Pennsylvania, helped him out of that
good old Commonwealth between two I
days, he had earned a character so |
stainless that wo were ror.lly not quite 1
sure that the people of tho United
States were right iu withholding the '
public property from the Goulds and
the Scotts and the Huntingtons until
this welcome sentence had fallen from
the lips of Hippie himself. But doubt
is past now. Hippie has it, and, being (
sure we are right, wo shall still go
ahead.
But, aftpr all, Hippie has a strange
way of showing his faith. The fruits
that he brings forth are meet for any­
thing but repentance. He doesn’t be­
lieve in subsidies; he thinks that the
public sentiment against the practice
is, “as it were,” just. But the purb
Hippie proposes, iu that very breath,
to confiscate about five million acres i
from lands once granted to the North- 1
ern Pacific, and make a grant of them
to Jay Gould, or to somebody for Jay
Gould, on tiie sorry pretence that they
are to used to build a road from Port­
land to Salt Lake. Now, Mr. Hippie,
if he lives weeks longer, muy learn
that, in addition to the sentiment
against subsides, there is also a very
general sentiment against Jay Gould
and all his works. This, like the oth-
tr, is, “as it were,” just; or, in the
phrase which Hippie seems to prefer,
it “is in a measure, well founded.”
He might just as well pause before
he butts against the stone wall. If
Hippie should unfortunately collide
with an immovable body, and knock
his brains out, the enormous quantity
of them flying about would produce
something like the rcjKirted rain ot
uncooked flesh In Kentucky. We re­
ally trust that Hippie will be preserved
to us. Since the prostration of the ex­
cellent Mr. Patterson of South Carolina
we can Dot possibly spare Hippie. He
is now the only surviving specimen in
good condition ot the Cameron school
of Pennsylvania statesman. We trust
the people of Oregon will perceive the
necessity of returning Hippie to the
Senate, and we earnestly advise Hip­
pie himself to see that Mr. Gould pays
cash to cover election expenses as be
goes along. He ought also to !>e more
circumspect as to the manner in w hich
he serves Mr. Gould.
Thompson’s
resolution, looking to the forfeiture of
the whole Northern Pacific grant,
would undoubtedly prove a very effec­
tual method of removing all danger of
the Northern line competing with the
Union Pacific. But Hippie ought not
to have got Thompson to offer it.
Thompson is well known as Hippie’s
other self, and if the resolution passes,
and the people of Oregon find them­
selves deprived of even the sickly
prospect of a railroad held out by the
Northern Pacific, they may get sure
about it, and remund Hippie to private
life.

said
to be a good Judge of beverages, of
which he is a temperate but critical

lie should express the indignation that
he felt on reading a New York firm’s
panphlet on adulterations. The au­
thors deal iu preparations for making
all kinds of wines and liquors. They
-ay that good French brandy can be
made of forty gallons of alcohol proper­ I
ly colored, one quart of glycerine, and
two ounces of “our brandy oil.” They
add: “To imitate any particular bran­
dy add a small quantity of the kind to
bo imitated.” Whisky may be made
in about the same way with “our whis­
ky oil.” This is the receipt for sherry:
“Four ounces sherry oil, thirteen gal­
lons pure spirit proof. Mix and twen­
ty-seven gallons cider, fine quality;
one gallon white syrup. Three to five
gallons of good foreign sherry added
will improve.” A decoction of malva
flowers is recommended for the color­
ing of port. Mr. Beecher gives his
own opinion as follows: “The pur­
chaser of pure foreign and imported
liquors ought to understand that it is
simply impossible to buy a pure native
wine outside of the country where it
is made; that in London alono there is
sold every year more Madeira than
the whole island of Madeira produces;
that in one season, In a single city of
this country, there was sold as much
California wine as the whole California
coast produced; that a brisk trade is
driven in chamgpague corks and im­
ported bottles, which are required to
do service over and over again year
after year; that the Custom House
mark is no guarantee, for by laws of I
Great Britain the adulteration of liq­
uors is allowed iu bond; that the im­
porter’» assurance is no guarantee, for
the wines exported to the United
States are doctored with alcohol before
they leave the country where they are
produced.”

A M i le ’ s W onderful T rick ­

marked a six-footer in Arkansas, as he
cracked his whip at market, “I’ve got
a mule at home which knows as much
as I do, and 1 want to hear somebody
«ay Pm half a fool.” Noone said
and he went on. “I’ve stood around
here and heard men blow aliout kick­
ing mules till I’ve got disgusted.
When you come down to kicking, 1
want to bet on my mule. A friend
came along and took dinner with me
the other day, and, as ho seemed a lit­
tle down-hearted, I took him out to
see Thomas Jefferson, my champion

how the mule would flop his feet
around, and he said he would like to
see a little fun. He’d passed his whole
life in the S >uth, hut had never seen rt

time at kicking. “Well,” he said, af­
ter borrowing some tobacco, “I took

up agin a hill, gin him a cuff on the
ear, and we stood by to see the amuse­
ment. It was a good place to kick his
durnest, and what d’yes’pose he did?
In ten minutes by the watch he was
out of sight. In five more we oould’nt

and sneer, and asked: “Does anybody
think I’m lying?” Would I lie for one
mule? Right here under my arm is a

A R emedy for B urns . —At a re­
cent meeting of the Massachusetts
Dental Society there was an announce­
ment by Dr. G. F. Waters, of Salem,
ui a very simple and easy remedy for
burns and scalds, which seems, to us
worth setting before the public, since
Dr. Waters tested it before the as­
sembled meeting. The remedy con­
sists simply iu covering the burned
or scalded part with the common bi-
carlronate of soda, found iD almost ev­
ery house keeper’s pantry—the ordi­
nary “soda” used in cooking—and then
cover that with a wet cloth. The se­
vere pain is said to Ire immediately
relieved, and the burn rapidly heal»
without leaving a sear—urlesa it be
a very bad burn. Dr. Waters subjected
himself to a severe test iu the pres­
ence of the meeting; he poured boiling
water upon one of his wrists, till the
flesh near the surface was “cooked,”
—then he applied the soda and the wet
cloth, and the pain ceased as if by
magic, and all appearance of the burn­
ing^ was rapidly effaced. Summer is the
season of the year for the trouble so of­
ten experienced by visitors to the sea­
shore and hills—especially by the la­
dies—known a9 “sunburn.” It is a
caugfc of much suffering, and the ordi­
nary applications of “cold cream,”
“rose cream,” glycerine, etc., are but
little avail. We have been told that
thia application of soda immediately
destroys the smarting of “sunburn,”
and rapidly changes the red burn to
the normal healthy complexion. Such
