THE CURE OF DiniTlIERIA. Dr. K. N. Chapman, of Brooklyn, N. Y., has discovered an antidote to the poison of diphtheria, by which the percentage of deaths i3 reduced to less than one in fifty. Statistics show that the percentage of recoveries in cases treated under the usual practice is about thirteen, or eighty-seven out of a hundred sufferers succumb to the fell disease. Diphtheria first appeared in this country in 1853. Dr. Chapman, in 1859, lost several cases, and became distrustful of the regular methods. lie has been using alcohol in the cure of ship-fever, and he determined, though contrary to all rules, to try it iu diphtheria. "To his surprise, several of his patients recovered. lie then tried q'linht, and found it acted well, but not so quickly. At last he settled on a combination of the two, alcohol and quinia, and, with these remedies, he claims that diphtheria is more amendable to treatment than many other diseases. In an epidemic, such as diphtheria, all are affected by the morbid agent; but a few only yield to it. ' Mature, vigorous persons have vi tality enough to resist the disease. Children and weakly adults arc its us. ual subjects. Dr. Chapman considers that there is, almost always, supers added a local anil direct exciting cause, puch as defective exercise, improper diet, dark room3, damp houses, imper fect ventilation and poisonous emana tions from decomposing filth in privies, cesspools, scwei pipes, etc. To such agencies the strongest constitutions will soon succumb. The blood being deteriorated, its crasis is impaired and its vitality lowered; and then 'the sympathetic nerves, failing to receive due stimulous, waver in their efforts to carry on the animal functions. "All local treatment," he says, "is worse than useless. It exhausts the nerve force and induces greater injec tions of the blood vessels, thus favor ing the exudation. "Alcohol neutralizes the diphtheritic poisons, sets free the nerves ol animal life, subdues the fever and inflamma tion, destroys the pabulum that sus tains the membrane, cuts 6hort the disease, conquers its scquelre, and shields other members of the family irom an attack. Upon the subsidence of the fever, as is usually the case iu from twenty to thirty-six hour3, a purulent secretion begins to loosen the membrane, and soon, thereafter, to detach it in flaky, ragged fragments. This process tuay take place, and Re covery be possible, even when the larynx and trachea are implicated. The membrane is seldom renewed, when this secretion is maintained by a steady use of the remedy. Alcohol is as antagonistic to diphtheria as bella donna to opium, or quinia to malaria. Like .any other antidote, it must be given promptly at the outset, or other wise its potency will bo lessened, per haps lost altogether. "Alcohol does not act as a stimulant nor induce any of its ordinary effects. Enough may be given to cause pro found intoxication in health, and yet there exists no signs of excitement or odor in breath.." Quinia is m efficient alloy to alco hol. It energizes the ganglionic ner vous system, and thus enables the or ganism '-to right itself and resume its firoction. Dr. Chapman sustains his position by citing numerous cases in which this treatment was successful. He 6tates that, in his long experience, he only knew of one raae where a drunkard had diphtheria. lie generally gives the alcohol in the form of whisky. "WnAT Five Sheep Will Do. Five sheep will enrich an acre of old worn out mowing land in three years, so that it will produce one and one half tons of hay per year, for several years, by a light sprinkle of seed each year, sown in the early spring. Five sheep will produce manure in winter to the value of ten dollars, by giving them suitable bedding. Five sheep will get their living through the summer on one acre ot ground ; the pasturing ot same would be three dollars. Five sheep will raise five lambs, worth fifteen dollars. Five sheep will shear twer.ty-Cve pounds of wool, worth six dollars. Now, let us see how the account stands : G rou ml improveit ly the stieep run ning on it one year Vlu of mauure iu winter Five lmnl Wool SUet-p gettiug their living on the laud Si 5 oo 10 oo l. oo 6 oo 3 00 S4D 00 The above being credited to the sheep, let us see what it costs to keep five sheep through the winter.

It may le found lest, in some instances, to plough and seeJ ; that depends somewhat upon the condition of the god but I am now 6peaking of land with a firm sod, but bound out and run out as we- term it, and producing but n small quantity of hay.

The border barons of Norman blood, who took possession of this region forcibly when William the Conqueror became King of England, weie compelled to bem in the Welsh people by a chain of tremendous military castles. The saxons were under a like necessity in their day, but the fortres ses they erected to protect themselves from the Welsh were not very strong. They were usually of timber, with banks and palisades for further strength about the do mestic offices, and a moat arouud all, with no other wall than the mound thrown np in digging it Their structures were not enough for the Norman lords marchers ; in some cases they used the site of the Saxon fortress to build their stone castles on, but the site was all that bad value to them. Ih order to keep what they had forcibly seized, they must intrench themselves in strongholds capable of defying the most terriiic sieges, and which furthermore must be large enough to hold their families and retaiuers, as well as their warriors in enormous numbers. Hence the prodigious strength and extent of the border castles, whose ruins now make the country pictur esque, and which provoked from Dr. John eon the remark that the court-yard of a castle in Wales is capable of containing all the castles in Scotland. Hence the exten sive ruins of huge Caerphilly" (described in a former paper), of Raglan, of Chepstow, and of many" others which dot the land scape at intervals so frequent as to tell an eloquent story. It is difficult to compre hend, in these days of equality before the law, the estate of society which existed in roeuisBval times, when an absolute mon archy set up here in every little district, with a baronial castle for a center ; but one is amazingly helped toward such com prehensions by roaming about from one rnin to another, and discovering that it is actually possible to visit several within the limits of a single day. It is the statement of a romantic historical fact to say that the border bristled with these fendal vultures' nests ; but it makes the matter practical to a degree tiiat is positively sensational like a realistic stage effect to set out on a tramp over this storied land of the border barons, and iind that your first five miles brings you to Caldecot Castle, your second to Chepstow Castle, your third to Tintern Abbey (eloquent of the same talo the cas tles teil, though iu a different way), whence nine miles carry you to Monmouib, and seven more to Hagian, and that you have paused en route, and without pausing to look at them, the ruins of Peuhow. Pen coed, Magor, Llanvair, Diuham, Strigull, St. Briavels, tnd nameless others. In the small border county of Monmouthshire, which is not so large as Or.eida county in New York (a center of the Welsh in Amer ica), there are no fewer than twenty-five mined castles, besides many priories aud abbeys, each with its tale of battles, sieges, fortunes, during the centuries that stretch between the Norman Conquest and the days ef Oliver Cromwell. Of the least of these ruins many interesting pages may be written. JIagor and Pencoed stand within two miles of each other. Any where else but in Wales each would be a tourist's lion, which enthusiastic travelers would journey far to see. Wirt Sikes in LJarpers Magazine for January. TJie House that Jack Euilt. A 8 the occupatious and pleasures of child hood produce a powerful impression on the memory, it is probable nlmost every reader who has passed hisjin fan tile days in an Eng lish nursery recollects the delight with which he repeated that puerile jinglinp; legend, "The Ilonse that Jack Huilt." Very few, however, are at all awaro of the oiiginal form of its composition, or the particular subject it was designed to illus trate. And fewer still would suspect that it is only an accommodated and altered translation of an ancient parabolical hymo, sung by the Jews at the Passover, and com memorative of the principal events in the history of that people. Yet such is the fact. The original is the Chaldee language. To it is added the interpretation, as given by P. N. Leberecht, Leipsic, 1731. The hymn itself id found in Sophe' llaggadah, vol. 23. The final stanzas are these : 7. Then came the angel of death, and killed the butcher. That slew the ox. That drank the water. That quenched the (ire, That burned the start', That beat the dog. That bit the cat.,i That ate the kill, That my father bought For two pieces of money. A kid, a kid. 10. Then came the Holy One, blessed be He And killed the angel of death, That killed the butcher, That slew the ox, That drank the water, That quenched the fire, That burned the staff, That beat the dog, That bit the cat, That ate the kid That my father bought. A kid, a kid. The following is the interpretation : 1. The kid, which is one of the pnre ani mals, denotes the Hebrews. The father by whom it was purchased is Jehovah, who represent himself as sustaining this relation to the Hebrew nation. The pieces of money signify Moses and Aaron, through whose mediatiou the Hebrews were brought out of Egypt. 2. The cat denotes the Assyrians, bv whom the Ten Tribes were carried into captivity. 3. The dog is symbolical of the Babylon ians. 4. The staff signifies the Persians. 5. The fire indicates the Grecian empire under Alexander the Great. 6. The water betokens the Roman or the fourth of the great monarchies to whom the Jews were subjected. 7. The ox is a symbol of the Saracens, who subdued Palestine, and brought it under the caliphate. 8. The butcher that killed the ox denotes the Crusaders, by whom the Holy Land wa wrested out of the hands of the Saracens. 9. The angel of death signifies the Turkish power, by which the land of Palestine was taken from the Franks, and to whom it is still subject. 10. The commencement of the tenth stanza is designed to show that God will take signal vengea-.ire on the Turks, immediately after who overthrow the Jews are to be re Stored to their own land, and live under the government of their long expected Messiah.
