DIPHTHERIA. A Sensible and Timely Letter from a Ikoctor. This disease is much more prevalent now than people are aware of. Hut the tact that a srreat many have it under the name of colds, sore throat, ulcerated sore throat,sympathetic sore throats and other simple names, proves that it need not. be fatal or very serious to the un fortunate person sick with it. There is always more or less danger Rttem ing it. But the danger is immeasurably less when it is known to be diphtheria and called by that name, than when it is yet in the premonitory stage, while the pa- tiont just infected with it is lazy 01 stupid, going about in a sort of shiver ing, dazed way, with no appetite and beieft of all animation In the season t . ••UIIUMIIVU M. U Ilix\j ovitov/u of miasmatic troubles it is safe always In to.have the possibility of diphtheria ,, mind, and to be constantly on the look out for throat nffections, that it may not be so fully developed as to be beyond remedies before its presehce is even sus pected. _ It is a blood poison, with more or less inflammation of the throat and membranous deposits on tonsils and palate. It is so si .w in its early stages that the patient is too frequently beyond human help before the friends are will- in R to beliove anything iB the matter, and then too little self-possession is left to mb anybody in behalf of the sick one. A few suggest ons. perhaps, will be ac ceptable in this very trying time. As long as the pulse is regular in its beats, do not mind about counting it too fre quently. Even physicians can merely surmise what the number of beats is to the pulse per minute of a new patient in health- There is always danger while it is variable. For several days the fever will be very high, and there is nothing so grateful as ice or water to drink, hot or cold. Baths arc in order —the sponge bath, or a full hath of eight or ten minutes, once in two, three or four hours, preferably oi pretty warm water; or a warm pack of from half to three-quarters of an hour, repealed once or twice a day, A pack is very soothing, and will often reduce the pulse twrnty to thirty l-eats per minute, and the temperature one or two degrees Hot water to hold ih the mouth, or to use as a gargle is also very serviceable. A compress of hot water constantly about the throat is necessary, idc oompres8 of hot water from and a wi | „„„ the arm-pits to the hips often sends a very restless patient into a dolightful sleep. The compresses should always be wrung out very dry, and covered with thick, soft, and dry cloths, Theeo should be retained, if agreeable to the patient, from one to five i ours, and re- peatod two or three times a day (twenty- tour hours). Never give stimulants. Whatever food is taken should bo in liquid form, such as beef tea, rich milk, grutl of Indian meal or oatmeal. 1 pre- i .\ n< y an mfial gruel made to the taste; while it positively nourishes, it also acts , , * , , * w J UV,U4 sauto, in iiidu fiv-vlj mechanically on the many inlktnod ‘ ‘ ching, oreviccs of the throat, stretching, oiling (in a certain sense) and cleaning! ns it desoends to give the stomach the impres sion of a good meal.

Months are often required to recover from diphtheria, ns scrofoloussores may follow, or paralysis, and affections of the kidneys. Tho throat and nose (if the latter is affected) should frequently be cleaned with a Bwnb or douche; no secretion should be allowed to remain long enough to corrodo and becomo an additional irritant. I mention this last as a most important thing in diphtheria, because so few realize the necessity of cleaning tho throat, or dare to do it. The suggestions given in this way must be incomplete so far as medicine is ooncerned, but I presume to say that if one-half the cases that dio had had no other treatment but that given in this article, the patients would have been saved to life and their friends — Ode.lvi.

A fruit-bearing tree bends; all the virtues are lowly. Love, faith, patience—these are the threo essentials of a happy life. Life is a long shipwreck of which the debris is friendship, glory and love. Auger is blood, poured and perplexed into a froth; but malice is the wisdom of our wrath. We measure minds by their staturo; it would be better to esteem thorn bv their beauty. The elephant is never won by anger; nor must that man who would reclaim a lion take him by the teeth. The intellect has only one failing, Which, to be sure, is a very considerable one. it has no conscience. Napoleon is the readiest instance of this. True dignity abides with him alone who, in the silent hour of inward thought, can still suspect, and still re vere himself in lowliness of heart. Though the word and the spirit do the main work, yet suffering so unbolts the door of the heart that both the word and the spirit have easier entrance. Lover, daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother; in those six words lies wnat the human heart contains of the sweetest, the most ecstatic, the most sacred, the purest and the most ineffable. Hanger from Stoves. Careless handling of coal stoves has proved fatal in a great many cases, the escaping gas carrying its deadly poison to inmates of houses. A paper wtiich appears to have given the matter con siderable research presents the follow ing valuable information: Some people through ienorance of the principles upon wtuch stoves are constructed, and equal ignorance of the process of combustion, Jive in an atmosphere impregnated wilh Dual gas. They become so accustomed to it that the peculiar smell of the gas does not attract attention. Ignorant, these people are also saving, and en deavor to keep a smoldering fire in or- der to save coal. So with draughts dosed, the coal is baked, not burned causing it to give off its gases, which do not rea illy burn and are not carried off b y t le usual channel. The only safety in i a fairly glowing fire and provisions lo? such draught as will carry off the gases, or such a fire as will consume tuem. But few furnaces have ever been constructed that do not throw into living rooms quantities of coal gas whenever the fire is stirred, or does not burn brisKly.

No, darling, you shall have many sleigh ridc3 yet before jou die.” "No, not many, i amnia; if J could have just one, it would be so nice." It was last Tuesday, and a little girl who had seen thesnow comeand gonitte times, lay dying in her humble home rn St. Antoine street Weeks nnd weeks the feVer had burned within her and its Htroe fire showed itself in the deep blue eyes and the lovely, innoc nt face. Tue mother, an ever-constant watcher nt the sufferer’s pillow, had never given up hope, but the child, with that knowledge which seems to come to all before doath, knew that she would never join her merry playmates over on the school ground. Day by day as the fever burned she had wished for the snow to come, and when the white flakes fell the other day tho loving mother changed the child’s position that she might, unwarn ed, catch the first glimpse of the fleecy snow. The child gazed out into the flurried air long and earnestly, and then when the pain made her writhe, she turned an appealing look to the sad faced mother, and said: “ But, mamma, I don’t believe I shall ever have another sleigh ride. Now promise me if this snow is on tbejground when I die you’ll have my coffin carried to the grave on a sleigh.” ‘ Why, my sweet child, why do you make sacli a request,?

Onr Southern Italy, While we are waiting to see rail way communication opened with those regir " ’ • • - - - gionsof New Spain which Dr. Oswald truly celebrates as “tho earthly Para- dise,” Florida, says a New York paper, J “ ‘ rlt does this duty as the Italy of America. Florida docs this duty very creditably, too; for though the "antiquo charm” of St. Augustine is more in the Imagination of visitors than in the quality of the Augustlnian architecture, the climate of the peninsula is delectable, and thous ands of invalids, tourists and families of wealth from the North bear witness yearly to its claims.

Ostrich Feathers. The war in South Africa between the Basutos and the English is likely to di minish very materially the stock of os trich feathers of tho world. Exactly over the ground where tho ostrich onco stalked the unbreeched Basuto now hurls defiance at, the English soldier. But what is curious about this strife, and its consequences, os far as feathers go, is that the Basuto country was the region from whence tho larger portion of the ostrioh eggs woro obtained. Os trich farmers further south bought these eggs, hatched out the birds in more civilized region, and raised them for their plumage. The strangest tiling, however, is where the Anglo-Basuto difficulty affects tho New York tin-man. As New York makes the most approved ostrich egg incubator, the demand was large and increasing, because ostrich chicks refused to come into this world unless duly born in a New Pork patent incubator. Now that actual war exists no more incubators are wanted at the Cape, for there aro no eggs coming to the ostrich raisers. What a Pig Picked Bp. A pig belonging to a colored man liv ing In Pike county, opposite Sparrow- bush, met with a singular adventure. The young rooter was doing some nasal plowing in a swampy pnrtof afield, and camo across a huge snapping turtle which was sleeping quietly on a log. Piggy didn’t know a turtle from a tea kettle, and he promptly put his nose under one side of the turtle’s shell and turned him over on his baok. The turtle was naturally indignant, and as the pig’s nose came near his head he fastened on it nnd settled down to busi- ness. The pig was frightened nearly to death and tried to run away, but, as the turtle was nearly as heavy ns the pig, the running away was slow. The squealing of the pig finally brought help, and the turtle was captured and found to weigh twenty-eight pounds. That pig cannot be driven toward the spot where he first met the turtle.—Port Jervis (N. Y ) Union. Drawing-room episode. Affable duchess, to amateur tenor, who has just been warbling , M.

The Now York fashion correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer writes that, on entering the dressing room of an actress friend at a theater, she saw spread out on a chair an elaborate dress of satin and velvet, a peculiarity of which was that all tlio bows and other ornaments woro nlready fastened in place, and tho garment was open in front hem, ' ■ from neck to I . though so contrived that tho junction would not be visible when worn. This arrangement was to avoid delay, and how tho actress mado a complete change of costume in less than five minutes is described as follows: “First, sho picked up a pair of gloves nnd began to put them on. At the same time her maid unhooked her dreRS from top to bottom with quick, deft fingers, and stripped oil'the whole gnrment in a twinkling. She seated herself and ex tended her feet for tho maid to take off the sho< s nnd stockings. The latter being stripped down over tho feet in n jiffy, diclosed clocked silk hose, so that tho fresh pair were already on. By the time the slippers were in place, the actress had got the last button of her gkives into its buttonholo. A minute and a half had elapsed. Then the maid took off several putt's and a bow from her miBtress’ head—her hair in the previous act having been simp y dressed —and put on a more elaborate blonde wig, fastening it in place with hairpins. Next, the actress stood up, and the maid swiftly put her into the dress that had lain on the chair. Ever? part of it fell admirably into place, plentiful hooks and eyes holding all together. Standing ill before a full length mirror she finally 1 T ( surveyed herself critically, at just three minutes and a half from the start. Half a minute more was employed iu putting additional rougo and powder on the face, nnd then sho was ready to go on the stage. Woman anil Ladles, In the days of our fathers, there wore such things to be met with as men and women—but now they aro all gone, nnd in thoir place a race of gentlemen nud ladies, or, to bo still more refined, u raoe of “ladles and gentlemen,” has Bprung up. • Women and girls aro among tho things that wero. But “ ladies ” are found everywhere. Miss Martineau wished to see the women wards in a prison in Tennossee, and was answered by tho warden: “We have no ladies hero nt present, madam.” Now, so far as the ladios were con cerned, it was very well that none ol them were In prison; but then it sounds a little odd—ladies in prison! It would seem bad enough lor women to go to such a place. A lecturer, discoursing upon the 1 -<• n> ixiustri ' - characteristics of women, illustrated thus: “ Who were the last at the cross? Ladies. W ho woro last at the sepul chre? Ladies.” On this rnodorru im provement we have heard of but one thing that beats tho above. It was the finishing touch to a mar- riitga ceremony, performed bv an ex quisite divine up to all modern refine ments.

He had been a lower or some time, but never quite persuaded himself to the point of popping the question, il dinn During the eventful dinner he learned from the person sitting next him that a rival intended to make an attack upon his Dulcinea’s heart. She was sitting at some distance from him at the table, and the rival was at her side. He was equal to the emergency, however, for tearing a half leaf from his note book, he wrote upon it: “Will you be my wife? Write your answer, yes or no, upon this paper and return it to me." Calling a waiter, the ingenious lover sent the missive to “ the lady in blue at the pnd of the table—be very careful.” The servant did as directed, but the lover in his anxiety forgot to send his pencil. The lady had presence of mind, however, and tucking the note into her bosom, said to the waiter, “ Tell the gentleman, yes.” A Desperado’s End. The quarrel between Comanche Jim and Kete Gray, at Walnut Ridge, Kansas, was over the division of some cattle which they had stolen. They agreed to fight a duel, and in the encounter which was conducted with all possible formal ity, J im was killed. Gray was arrested. When brought before a justice, he urged the chivalry of dueling, and the E crfbct fairness of this particular fight; ut the magistrate refused to release him. “Then I’ll release myself,” he said, and shot the sheriff, dashed through the crowd, and escaped. This happened several years ago, and was only one among similar passages in the life of a notorious border ruffian. His reputation has at last brou/ht him to death by a bullet. Being drunk, he jocosely struck Aleck Chenoweth, in a Clay county barroom. Chenoweth did not stop to discriminate between real and pretended anger, but shot Gray dead at once.

Jerry Greening, a noted hunter of Pike county, Pa., s'artod out on a grand bear-hunt, taking provisions lor a two days’ st-y The first day out he killed a fine four-pronged buck, which lie dressed nnd hung up in a tree out of read, of wild animals. He built a fire, a short distance from where he had hung the buck, and after eating a hearty supper rolled himself up in his blanket, with his feet to the fire, nnd was soon asleep. In the middle of the night ho was awnkened by n loud noise, and turning over noiselessly on his side he discovered a large bear trying to pull the buck out of the tree. Jerry grabbed his rifle, and, alter taking careful aim, fired. The bear gave a loud growl, and galloped off in the underbrush. In the morning Jerry saw blood-stains on the ground, and following the tracks somo distance, he came to the entrance to a cave in some rocks. In front of this cave was a large pool of blood, and the hunter wns convinced that his game was within. He procured a pine knot, out of which ho made a torch, and after tho manner of Irsacl Putnam, entered the cave. The entrance wns small, and he was obliged to creep in on his hands and knees; but as he advanced the opening grew lnreer, until finally, he could stand upon his feet. He was advancing cautiously when he heard a growl, and line the bear before he could draw his sprang upon from behind a huge boulder, knocking him down, nnd in flicting a severe wound in the shoulder with her claws. The torch which Jerry carried was extinguished, and tho "hi old hunter was lcit to fight for his life in total darkness. He succeeded in reaching his hunting-knife, and dealt the bear several vigorous blows in the neck and side wii.li the weapon. The blood from tho animal’s wounds spurted Into Jerry’s fnee, nearly blinding him. Tho bear relaxed her hold and nmle for the mouth of tho cave. Jerry followed, but in Jthe darkness was unable to find his rifle. Ho pursued tho bear, and just outside the cave nuother hand-to-hand conflict took plnce. Thesirugglo lasted bi half an hour, and after tho hear had nearly succeeded in stripping Greening i inflict of his clothing nnd had inflicted several more wounds, she was dispatched. Jerry procured another pine-knot and re-entered the cave and procured his riflo. In the farthest corner of the cave ho found two little cubs, not larger than kittens, which ho took home with him. The floor of tho cavo, Greening says, was literally covered with bones. A Surprised Dog. . At a certain club house in Boston there was kept in tiie billiard room a carrot which wns so tamo and such a favorite that it was not confined to its cage, but was allowed tho liberty of the room, and was ofton soin perched upon tho furniture, or wandering about on tho floor. On one occasion, when tho bird was seated in tho corner ol tho room, a gentleman, a Mr. B., entered, followed by his dog, whether a pointer or a set ter wo do not know. The dog, after a few moments, winded the parrot, drew on it, and finally stood fast. The bird, which had been up to this time, appar- - ,h( ently oblivious of the presence of the ca nine, now turned its head slowly, and in tones expressive of tho utmost contempt said, “ Go homo, you darned fool.”’ The dog stnrtod, looked, and then, turning tail, slunk out of the room. It is said, that although up to this time the animal had been a splendid hunter, he would thenceforth never point a bird.—Forest and Stream.
