RAVAGES or DIPHTHERIA. lis Flirtifil RDTMW raaalna Aastetr MHUnU Mm-Wkat It U. Diphtheria in increasing to an alarming extent in sections of the United States. In New York the radical society have held a number of j meetings. At one of these a jnjx>r was read by I>r. M. S. Butties, netting forth his theory that diphtheria is a contagions disease and commences as a Kami disease, brought on by contact of a jwnaito, evolved from a patient already suffering from tire disease, with the mucus mem brane. These parasites or baeteriie, he argued, caused the falsa diphtheritic membrane. Bacteria force their wny into the biQod vessels and thcu the dis J ease becomes constitutional; it therefore becomes necessary in the tlrst place to destroy the parasite on its first lodge raeut and prevent if possible its absorp tion ; and if the ease has not been brought under the notice of the pUysieiau in time for this to be dona he must use antisep tics hi destroy tlis hacteriie which have alroa.lv entered the blood. For this pur pass Dr. Kuttles recommends the use of Smith's solution of bromine (page 482, IT.l T . S. D.) locally aud internally in dose* j of three* to five drops, in water, every two hours, which treatment woul.r undoubt edlv bring about favorable result*. He also recommends Una the lunUlk be frequently and tbopttghly svringql with a weaker snlutfiHT of the same. Tree patient should lie given milk, beef tea and other nourishing diet, lau-ge doses oL quinine might also be given twioo a day, morning and night, under kthis irvetMaent the doctor reported that he had iicK lost a single case. Dr. Dairs - . th night that diphtheria was thufesult of blood poiaoimig. and that itSwas infectious he thought there was no | 'voblc room for doubt He agraad w-.th Dr. Battles that the treat moot he submittal was calculated to be uioat effectual. For himself, however, he wks greatly in fai-or of giving chlor ate dnxHash, aud feeding patient on uourishitig diet, but giving frequent and large wn-w of milk. 1 Ha was of the opinion that the dis fat the disease was in a large ue to die filthy condition of ars, which wero, especially at of year, illy ventilated "and th the nnwholsaomc stench n the damp straw, which was remain in these moving pest ek in and week out without ged. Another element which causing the spread of the ill lie crowded state of the teru les, where but little, if any, s paid to hygienic conditions, ami u ino impossibility of the people | living therein isolating their children from others who were attacked. But the greatest of all disseminators was the public schools, where the ventilation and accommodations provided for the hundreds assembled are most disgraceful to the authorities. In fact, they may be ? considered under the present system as so many pest houses. What is needed 9 is the passage of a law by which every child shall he allowed so many cubic feet of space, similar to the system in foroe in England. The drainage of most of the schools he had fonnd to be very de fective, which was greatly aggravated by the inattention of the janitors or others in charge of the buildings. The eonae quenee is that all kinds of diseases arc hred and disseminated among the popua. j Dr. Pwscott agreed with Dr. Oarrisli, and cited a case which had occurred in New Hampshire under his own observe tioa. A public school there had been provided with earth closets, which, by the laziness of the janitor, were neglected so far that, instead of using earth as a disinfects t, he had used sawdust. The result was the air became foul and con taminated and the children began to be taken with diphtheria and trphoid fever. In fact a regular epidemic woke out in the school, and it was closed through the pupils being unable to attend on account of their sickness. The following resolution was then offered by Dr. Buttles and tuianimonsly adopted: Jte*otred, That diphtheria is contagi ons and should be treated on antiseptic and disinfectant principles, and can be readily controlled by proper medical treatment. Rapid Bleaching of Linen. According to the experience of some, time may be saved by bleaching linen by the following process: Rub the linen as it comes from the loom, in a dry con dition ( best on a table), with a brush, with a lather of soap made by boiling 1} pounds of soap for a piece of coarse linen,or one pound for a piece of fine, and , allowing it to oool; then cover the linen in a tab with a cloth. Prepare a lye, for a piece of linen, by boiling one-half a bushel of good sifted beech-wood , ashes in rain or spring water, and filter ing it through a Jye-basket, bring it to boiling in a clean kettle, and poor it i upon file linen. Cover the reasel well, so that the warmth and moisture msy be j retained as long as possible, and allow it to stand over night. Spread the linen on the grass in the morning, see to it that no spots become dry daring the day, and cover at night again with the boiling lye. Turn the linen on the second day, and expose as before, without allowing it to become dry, and steep it over night in weak hot soap-suds in a well-covered vowel. Wash oat the dissolved dirt in j the morning, and expose again, without allowing it to dry before evening, and then treat in the usual way until it is as white as may be desired; six to eight days often being sufficient. If necessary, however, the soaping and steeping may be repeated as before, when only two days' additional bleaching will be re quired. A French Story. A terrible a,T*ir occurred lately at a place near Bain ten, in Charente Inferie ure, where s man named Tarin, after nhooting at his father and his brother, set fire to their born and burned cattle and brandy to the value of 30,000f. He then retired to his house, loopholed the walls, and prepared to stand a siege. He had three guns and quantities of ammu nition. Five gendarmes arrived at full gallop, and Tarin killed one and wounded t wo. The two other gendarmes, aided by the peasantry, surrounded the house. Reinforcement* were telegraphed for, and before long brigades of gendarmerie arrived from Pons, St. Genis, and Haintes. under the command of a cap tain; the sub-prefect also repaired to the soene of action. For ten hoars a foroe estimated at 1,00) strong kept up a fire on the house, Tarin replying incessantly. Corporal Boucherio exposed himself for a moment and was shot dead. At last a navvy, an old soldier, volunteered to storm tho house, and he managed to get on the roof aud to pour a bucket of flam- . ing petroleum into the house. While accomplishing this Tarin wounded him slightly in ths forehead. The house was soon in a blaze, and the -vrnmin perished in the flames. : i Johnny's Essay on " The Tode."

HrUaadaa* Is Ike Weat-Caaiare si ike Jamr* Brothers. f For several rears past, say* an ex change, various Btatna in the West and Southwest have liocn more or leas cursed with petty lianditti. The*' disagreeable personages have lawn the topic of con versation among hundreds of lawyers, have thrown consternation into a variety of courts, and have done much to injure the reputation of the United States as a law abiding country. They have now and then distinguished themselves as the robbers of railway train*, ores the plun derera of weak and defenseless itnini grants. Sometimes tliev have dictated terms to legislatures, and at others have imprisoned snd plundered whole villages which were timorously subject to their lawless demands. Whenever and wher ever they have found a community with out the iiivvswy police to guard it* do main aud t maintain the ueeansarv se curity for life and property, they have enjoved an immunity which is without parallel in the history of Italy or Sicily. Their small brigandage has been the curse of * hundred otherwise prosperous localities; their exactions have hindered the grow th of a score of communities; their daring ami their impudence have st to scorn all the puny efforts of the (Brigands in Italy, who, influenced by hunger or by the desire for gain, have copied their tactics. They have con tinued their career of crime, fancying that justice was too wreak or too puerile to attack tliem. The James brothers, tvandits by pro fession, robbers by nature, aud \\ esteru bravadoes by reputation, have bean oon cerued in moat of the crimes at violence recently recorvted iu that section. Their lustory comprises a number of thrilling incident*, whose variety and horror aud boldness are nowhere equaled in the an mils of crime. They are first iletect.nl, in small predatory excursions in the wilds of southeastern Missouri and id northern Arkansas. Thev gradually in crease in boldness aud violence, and be gin a career chiefly distinguished by the plundering of railway trains, the robbing of whole regiments of tourists, and the sacking of Tillages. Ths gallows has but few terrors for them, although they sre threatened with it daily. The somber horrors of Mouaieur Lynch affect theiu but poorly; they scoff at vigilance com mit Ires, aud laugh at county authorities. Masked, aid armed with repeating rifles, they from time to time plunge down won the rich harvest a writing them in a Pullman car, much as the Bedouins of the desert pounos upon s caravan. They deal in death, and are prodigal of slaughter. The State authorities suffer the shame and ignominy attached to the doings of a few lionditu, aud are power less to oppose any decided obstacles to the marauders. Sometimes the popula tion of a whole county is held in abey ance by a few masked knights, who ride hither and yon heroically, their heroism being very* much heightened by the powerful adjuncts of a few shot-guns, bowis knives, and revolver*. Every one who has read the story of crime and violence in the Southwest, knows that these James brothers, wh<> have made whole counties tremble, and on whose devoted heads proclamation upon proclamation has been heaped by the Governor of Missouri ever since the daring exploits of the Gad's Hill train and the Hot Springs stage robbery, have been pursued pretty much in vain. ' Somehow or other, the army of detee- 1 lives dispatched from Chicago and other Western cities lias not succeeded in penetrating to the retreats of these mar velous freebooters. Now and then an adventurous detective, venturing too far into the wilds of unsettled countries, has been found dead in a sage-brush thicket, with his throat cut from ear to car, and liis lifeless remains, removed to Chicago, have served as a solemn advertisement to courageous folk not to interfere in the sports and spoils of a rough-humored gang, wliicli brooked no interference. But the detectives have been as de termine.! as the banditti for some montlir past. It therefore does not surprise us to learn that they have latterly been making desperate efforts in the neigli borliood of Kansas City, in Missouri, to capture tue famous Jamvs brothers, and to bring them within the walls of the penitentiary, wKieh position they would grace so eminently. It is said that a corps of detectives from the Western cities, intent upon glory and capture, recently charged and bombarded the house near Kansas City occupied bv the mother of the "James boys." They besieged it in the authorized, good old fashion, being folly convinced that the banditti were concealed therein. They threw grenade shells into the beleaguer ed house, killing some of the children within, and fired the mansion in several different places by means of Roman cau dles filled " with cotton saturated with turpentine." The detectives fought des perately with rifles and small cannon, and are reported finally to have won a complete victory over the banditti, bringing them wounded and prisoners cm a special train to Chicago. But it is needless to aav that this report lacks con firmation, ami that it is still undecided whether or not the dreaded James broth ers, who have disgraced American civili zation, and who may be said to be th terrors of the Southwest, are really) maimed and captured, or are still at large in the prairies of Missouri. Kansas, Ar kansas, and the Indian Territory, setting State, Federal and municipal laws alike at defiance. A Brief Temperance Lecture. i There is one man in Siuth Leaven worth who will forever have occasion to remember the terrible consequences of getting dead drunk in zero weather. His name is Joseph Barnes, he attended a party given at a neighbor'a house, ac companied by his wife. On their way home the woman discovered that she had dropped her apron, aud requested her husband to stay where he was till she went back and recovered the lost article. It was very cold, indeed, and when she returned she did not find her hnsliand where she had lift him. Supposing ke had gone to an ighboring saloon to get a drink, she went home without him aud : never gave his uddin disappearance a second thought Liil the next morning. As he bad not then put in an appearance she thought pas. ilily something might be wrong, and st u ted out in search of him. His wherea' rata could not, how ever, be ascertained. For two days and nights the search vas continued, and no trace of the missing one was fonnd till h crawled into his own home, in a most wretched plight, and with hands aud feet so badly frozen that they will have to be amputated. Barnes says that after leaving his wife j he went to a saloon and took two or three J ! big drinks to keep out the cold. After Eing out in the air again he did not ow anything till he awoke from his stupor, nearly forty-eight hours after wards, and found himself in a gully in a vacant lot, completely stiffened up, and it was with the greatest agony that he ■ was enabled to crawl on his hands niul ! knees to the shanty where he lived. The loss of hands and feet will be a terrible affliction to the suffering man. The Romance of It. A Rockland county (N. Y.) girl, who was recently " finished " at a fashionable seminary, has begun a diary. Her mis ; chievous young brother cut out the first entry and it got into print. Here is a i portion of it: " Sunday night.—lt has just struck twelve and I am still writing. What are these thoughts that surge across my heart ? What is this strange longing after the unattainable ? Ami ; what I really seem, or is it, ai it were, | not so much the infinitesimal as the un ! speakable ? Let me be calm. I have reread ' Don Juan ' to-day. Ah ! alas ! will there ever be anotbir Byron ? May i there not be somewhere, ooming toward ; me from the mist of the mountain top, | or the flowers of the valley, some sun crowned youth, who " A St* Fox. —One of the gardeners st Old Montrose has had a female fox in bis possession for eight or nine months back. It was secured by a chain and strong leather collar. "Die animal disappeared the other night, and it was discovered i that a male fox had got over the garden I wall, gnawed through the oollar and i carried off his mate in triumph, " t The Bennett Family. Why does not Jinnee Gordon Bennett get married f This is a question very frequently put, says a correspondent, and not unnaturally, since he is the only son of the founder of the Ht ralti, of the indefatigable man alio gave his entire life to the building npof that great news p|H>r. l*aragrpoint* ami HUTesjoud euU have laitoml diligently to answer the interrogatory, crediting hint with as many engagements as if lie were a t'hi nese army.

He i* quite old enough to lie a haslouid, tiring, I lielieve, thirty six, which is six years later than Vlatii thought to be the pro|e satisfied ever to get beaten; always trv to l*-at. That's what has built up the lit-rattL" Bennett, however, might naturally as pire hi the hand of a lady of social dis t motion aud wealth, being himself very rich, and enjoying whatever reputation his father gained for the nauie he bears. The elder Bennett never had, never oared for, auv acceptance by society. His early career had ostracised' him, snd he rather enjoyed his ostracism. His son has beeu held responsible for some of the paternal sins, and may not liave the entree to just the kind of society he cv ti The woman he might want an a wife might not want him; the woman who might want liim for a husband he might be unwilling to take. So, under the circumstances, wedlock would not thrive particularly in the //rrtiht estab lishment. There are unquestionably thousands of well-bred and charming voting ladies here who could not l>e brought to consent, connubially speak ing, to advertise in the New York lit raid. Bennett possesses energy, enterprise, pluck. If he be really desirous of trans forming himself into a hualauui and fath er ho will be pretty sure to accomplish it. Practical considerations ought ti> impel him. He has no near relatives, except his sister, Jennie Bennett, tim years liis junior. His demise would put the journal into the hands of strangers, and thus the solitary ambition of the departed founder of the Herald would bo frustrated—a cruel frustration, that would be enough to make him tum iu his grave-sleep, and rebuke from the tomb the tuemory of his neglectful, re creant and alisolutely unconutibial sou. Position in Sleeping. It is better to go to sleep on the right side, for then the stomach is very ranch in the position of a liottle tinned upside dowu, and the content* of it are aided in passing out by gra\ itation. If oue goes to sleep on the left side, the operation of emptving the stomach of its contents is morelike drawing water from a well. After going to sleep, let the laxly take its own position. If yon sleep ou your lsick, especially soon afti r a hearty meal, the weight of the iligestive organs and of the food resting, ou the groat vein of the body, near the tiackboue, compresses it and arrests the flow of the blood more or less. If the arrest is partial, the sleep is disturbed, and there are unpleasant dreams. If the meal lias lieen recent and heavy, the arrest is more decided, and the various sensations, such as fall ing over a precipice, or the pursuit of a wild beast, or other imjiendiug dangers, and the desperate effort to get rid of it, arouse us, and send ou the stagnating blood, and we wake in a fright, or trembling, or in a perspiration, or feel ing exhausted, according to the degree of stagnation and the length and strength of the efforts made to escape the danger. But when we are unable to escajie the danger —when we do fall over the preci pice, when th* tumbling building crushes us—wiiat then f Tliat is death ! That is the death of those of whom it is said, when found lifeless in the morn ing; " That they were as well as ever they were the day before;" and often it is added, "and ate heartier than com mon !" This last, as a frequent cause of death to those who have gone to lied to wake no mure, the writer gives merely as a private opinion. The jxwsibUity of its truth is enough to deter any rational man from a lat and hearty meal. TJiis we do know with certainty, and waking up in the night with imiuful diarrhea, or cholera, or bilious colic, ending in death in a short time, is prolmhly trace able to a late large meal. The truly wise will take the safe side. For jiersous to eat three times a day, it is amply sufficient to make the last meal of cola bread and butter, and a cup of some warm drink. No one ran starve on it; while a perseverance soon begets a vigorous appetite for breakfast, so promising of a day's comfort. Calling the Roll. The method of proceeding in the Uni ted States House during tho filibuster ing on the Finance bill, was as follows: Some one of the leading Democrats moved that the House adjourn; another demanded the yeas and nays upon this motion. Then some member on the Republican side demanded tho tellers on the yeas and nays. This is where the fun came in for tho Republican side. The Speaker asked if the call for tellers was seconded, and a sufficient ntimlicr of Republicans rose in their places. Ho teliers were then appointed and took their places before the HiK-aker's desk, anil the Democrats who desired the yeas and nays came marching down the aisles aud ji".*ociitoi and the clerliou, by a coalition 1 of tho Itenaicrala awl tolling Republican" of Annua t'amoroo. of la Crosse.

Tlie practical value of that wonderful invention, the aaiul bloat, lias now been demonstrated in such a variety of meUiods and applications as to admit of no doubt in regard to its permanent place in operative mechanisms. It re produces ou glass the finest steel en gravings, it carves Uie moot delicate de signs on cut glass, it engraves cameos, and it does in five minutes work which would take the most industrious stone cutter hours to accomplish—solid granite and marble diskolring before it quicker than snow melts in a hot ami. And all this ia Uierreult of the simple principle that aand will act on Uie surface of glass and other minerals, but not upon any vegetable or animal snltstance; so when a surface of glass or stone is jwrtly oov- , ered with paper, cloth, leather, grease, or ink, the sand will fali harmlessly away from the |jver, etc., but will ret into Uie mineral as certain acids ret into steel.

Business raqn, worn by care and sed- 1 entary habits, often suffer from constipa tion of the bowels, until the evil conse quences of such n condition are realised in extreme debility, nervousness and prostration of the vitia] energies of the system.

Pure blood is essential to sound health and long life. No chronic disease, sores, ulcers, skin eruptions, glandulous swell ings, discliar gee from the ear, sore eyes, sores or cankers in the mouth will ever appear if the blood is pure.

I A Balloon thiol. Perhaps the moat remarkable duel evsr fought took place in 1803. It was peculiarly French in ita tone, and eotild hardly liave occurred under any other than a French state of society. M. lo (trandpro and M. !e Piqtte had a ijuar j rel, arising out of jealousy concerning a lady. Tliey agreed to fight a duel to acttle their respective claims; and, in order that Ute licet of angry jawMUon should not interfere with the jn.ilshed elegance of tlie proceeding, Uey |oat- Ikuhhl the duel for a month, Ute lady agreeing to ttesfow her hand on Uie sur vivor of Uie two, if the other was killed; at all events, tin* was inferred by Uie two men, it not actually expressed. The duelists were to fight in the air. Two lialloona were constrwcted exactly alike. On Ute day denoted, La (i rand pre and hia second entered Ute car of one bal loou, Pique aud hia anoond Uiat of the other; it waa in the garden of the Tuileriea, amid an iiuuieuae concord of iqsH-tator*.

At Uie given signal the rupee tliat re tained Uie cars were cut, and tbe bal loons ascended. Tlie wind waa moder ate, and kept the balloons at about their original distance of eighty yards apart. ' When half a utile above the surface uf the earth a preconcerted signal for firing waa givnu. M. le I'ique fired bnt mias <*L M le (inuidre fired aud sent a ball through Le Pique's balloon.

The editor uf the Wurkinginan haa published an interesting estimate of the difference in the cost to couaomera of coal, if the reduetiou in wages now de manded shall take place. H ahowa that the ooat of production ia fur the skilled (contract) miner aixty aeiita per ton; un skilled labor, fifty two; other skilted labor, sixtt*-n; mat<*rial, forty; royalty or land rent, thirty-five; allowance for de preciation in work, etc., fifteen; railroad transportation, total, fit.2o. Oust of production inclusive of wages ia thus stated at 32.18, of which labor gets 31.28. Of Urn railroad jH.rUon, labor will get about fifty cents, not more. The hand ling of coal in depot at Philadelphia, etc., will not exceed twenty-five cents per ton. Aa these figures do not include profits, commissi. ma, or the last named labor, that must be added, if, says the editor, the muter and laborer trucked for nothing, the reduction would only be 31.12. lithe contract miner was paid by the week, 311 for every week in the year would only be 17-100 cents per tou. If the heaviest reduction token was en forced, it would give for tboae who are paid a certain price ae follow*: Miners, 311.44 for each week worked (the average being thirty-aix in the year) and for laborers, inside and outside, 98.68 and 38,80, or for the whole year, 38.86}, 9i.45j, 37.62J, respectively. A Crarl Mother. A curious scene, enacted in one of the village courts of tbe government of Ae tracliaa, ahowa the patnarelud manner ia which justice ia administered by tbe peaaanta among themselves, and the great need tin*re ia of education spread ing among them. A mother complained of her son's treatment, although lie gave her loaxrd and lodging and all she couhl want, and the son said that the mother's temper eras the sole cause of domestic scenes, and courted inquiry among his neighbors. The judge announced that a mother could nut he wrong; that obe lied a right to treat Iter aoti aa she pleas ed, even to brat him. The mother at once put this theory into practice, pulled out her eon's hair, and lieat him eo cruel ly tliat bystander* called her no mother, all this to the satisfaction of the judge, who objected even to Uie young man'a turning from tbe blows nboweredon him. At last tbe woman pardoned her son, and the story ends cllaracterieticall v with " but in what consisted the aun a fault no one ever knew." •• Probabilities" on w Year's Itaj. A Ht. laiui* girl describes the misery she endured receiving New Tear's calls. Among other things, she aava: " I think tlie first oue ' dropped in ' about nine o'clock. • Come early,' he asid, ' because he had to go out to tbe wcetern port of the town.' Find he imparted the start ling intelligence tliat tlie weather waa mausptciotta for calls, but he didn't be lieve it would rain, though he confidently looked for snow. Then he remarked tlud there were but few callers on the streets, but he supposed they would come later in the day. Then he took a glass of wine and a plate on hia two knees, spreading his feet to tiring hi* knees together. Then he wished me many happy returns, and then he left aa another entered. Over and over again the reif same platitudes, and Ivefore night 1 felt like a signal service bureau, and was so stuffed with weather that I was sick." Modern Women.
