Aneodotes of Jndge Blank A* an illustration of the wouderful cot' ersatiojal powers of Judge liiack, tui Erie gentleman who was acquaint ed with all the parties concerned tells the following interesting anecdote : During tho adminislration of Gov. Biglcr Henry L. Dietl'enbach was Superintendent of l'ublie Schools and ho and Judgo lilack were very inti mate friends. One summer day (lov. Dodge, of lowa, a prominent man at that time, being on his way home from Washington, stopped ofl'at Ilarrisburg nod walked up t<> the capital grounds to pay Supt. Dieffenbach a visit. While the two were seated near aw in dow in conversation a voice was heard calling from the walk below : "Dieffenbach! " The superintendent looked out and the voice continued : "Say, throw me down a chew of tobacco." A generous chew was cut oil", wrap ped up in a piece of paper and thrown out. As the party walked away < icii. Dodge got a goo be true: the Republic ans were good fellows; he would like to belong to them, and there was only one thing in the way. " If," said he, " there were no hereafter I would join the Republican party at once. Noth ing deters me but the fear of hell. The Origin of the American Flag. At Little Brington, a village near Northampton, England, is an old cot tage in which lived the ancestors of George Washington. It is a neat old place, hut with nothing remarkable ' about it, save it was the nest of the General's great forefathers. Above the entrance door, incribed on a stone slab, is the following : "The I/>rd giv eth and the Jxjrd taketh away. Bios-1 sed be the name of the Lord. Con tractus, lbO'i." Great Brington lies some couple of miles front the smaller village of that name, where is Wash ington Cottage. At Great Brington { there is a handsome church, remarka ble for the very complete and perfect series of monuments of the family of Hpencer. Htill more interesting, how ever, than these monuments to the ancestors of Lord Hpencer are the two plain slals that cover tho hones of George Washington's ancestors. The oldest of these is that with an inscrip tion on it to the memory of Lawerence Washington disccased in l'll9, leaving behind him eight sons and nine da ;gh ters. Two of Lawrence's children migrated to America; f'mm one of these George Washington was decern!- ed. The other incription is engraved on brass, beneath the Washington coat-of-arms, as follows: "Here lies ye body ofEliz Washington, Widow®, who changed this life for Immortallctie vc 19th of March 1022: as also ye Iwdy of Robert Washington,gentn., her late husband, second sonne of Robert Washington of Holgrove., in ye county of Norhn., Lsqe., who dopd. this life ye 10th March 1022, after they lived lovingly together." We hero see the origin of the American "star spang led banner,"fand of the stripes, for the coat-of-arms on this old brass appear three stars, with the bars or stripes Is:- ncath them. The sexton told ine that Charles Sumner had had a copy of < the larger slab made by the local mason, and that both he and Motley, the his torian, bad taken great interest in these arum and inscriptions. It is cer tainly striking to see those humble mementoes of tho ancestry of one of whom all English-speaking people are proud, in this old country church, lying near the splendid tombs of for gotten magnates. An interesting chapter might be written on tho ori gin'oftho greet llags of tho wo -Id. To trace them back to their sou. ces would often he no easy tusk ; hut that of the American Republic lies on the floor of Brington ('hurcli.

The only otbe • scclio i east of the Rocky moui :aitis, where they grew to any gnaw nuuntity was the country around Lake Erie, but "I late years tho trees have nearly all been destroyed by the "yellow. In this citv, they will not be at all mini- 1 erous, because more of tlieiu will be , shipped away then lias been custom ary and the railroads have made ar rangements to send them t" great' r , distances than ever before. loe rail : road companies themselves have be.

Alcohol as a Medicine. T> .V A *' Tf ■ ' /' ( .1 -' m's 'if, Tie- //. rn l l of HeollK, of New York city, prints a very sugge- ive article entitled "Substitutes for Brandy," by Dr. Ridge, of I/iiidon who bns lm. 1 large experience in the non-alcoholic treatment of disease in connection with the London temperance li -pital, in which, referring to the jirofound conviction in tie- public mind, includ ing, also, the medical profe-sioti, that spirits, and cqx-cially brandy, are oi great value in many diseases, both ! chronic nnd acute, h<* affirms that "in • fleet, other things h* ing • .pial, a p< r soti hn- a better chance of recovery without alcohol than with it." Heal - i -ays : " < >ne of the most easily re memlKTed rules is that when a suh-ti tute is required t r brandy as a nar cotic, apply warmth • xt'-rnnlly ; i when for brandy a* n so-called stimu lent, give hot drinks ii t rnailv." He adds; " As a-tinuletit pure and sim ple there is nothing nets so rapid!v and powerfully as hot water, milk and water, tea, etc., or non-alcoholic fieppcrmint, or ginger in hot water." ! The article, as a whole, is timely and valuable, and will help many, even of temperance people, to feel that they can safely dispense with alcohol,even as a remedial agent in sickness. De i thronned in this particular, alcohol | may then be much more readily and effectually banishes] as a beverage from the sideboard and the saloon. Bcarlet Fever Ifr/W to Copt >* ith the Ih.-.uinl DU'ir /ft Prevention end Cure. Krm Ih* PLiU K#ror!. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. In no way is tho wis dom of prevention more apparent than in dealing with disease. In these - advanced of medical science phy sicians are giving as much attention to the prevention of disease as to its treatment. It is with this end in view that they urge the importance of sani tary measures—the necessity of prop er ventilation, perfect drainage, whole some food and judicious clothing. But particularly are their efforts directed to the repression of contagious deseaa es, and especial I v to those which are incident to childhood. Among these 1 none is so much dreaded as scarlet ' fever, and justly, too, for none of the 1 eruptive diseases is so fatal in its re sults. It is, then, desirable that every one should know bow best to check its progress, nnd that they should faith fully and conscientiously make use of such knowledge for the protection of humanity. A writer in a foreign ' newspaper gives some rules calculated to limit the spread of scarle fever, i which appear to be reasonable. More- i over, their application in simple, anil may he carried out in Iho poorest house. His theory is to disinfect the patient instead of waiting until the bed, carpets, clothing and surround ing air aro impregnated with the germs of disease, lie says that first the congested skin should he kept soft and pliant,and should be soothed with warm baths. Hathing the child in water of u temperature of ninety de grees is recommended, which tends to cool the feverish skin and predisposes to sleep. At the same time it washes away the loose particles of skin, and prevents too free peeling by moisten ing the surface. After the bath a medicated ointment should Im? gently rubbed over the entire body. This lessens the production of scales and at the same time renders harmless those which form. As a formula for com pmfnding the ointment best suited lor this purpose, he offers the following : I Thirty grains of carbolic ncid, ten : grains of thymol, one draclmi of vase lino, and as mueh simple ointment as will make the whole up to an ounce. The odor of this is not unpleasant, while it retains its groasines.s lbr a considerable time after being applied. It should be smeared on in the morn ing, as well as at night, after the hath. As soon a- the patient F well < nough I we assume not until the tw> nty-fir-t ! day of the fever i- past -one or two washings in carbolic - >ap, in which process the hair should be included, is recommended. This, our authority -ays, will remove all trace- of infec tion. The bed and body linen should be put as soon as tin y are r- iie-vi <1 b mi i the person, in tub tilled with wat< r in which a large tablespoonlul > I mr | bolie acid lias b n di solved, ult< r j which they can be n m >v< d from tlm room and washed without dang" r - f spreading the disease t < otln rs. 1 his ue tho'l, says the writer, h.i- h- en I thoroughly Ic-tcd under the in 1 eru eiai conditions, which all indicate "that it i- p" -ihle t-i very materially limit the (amtagioiistit-- >f -earh-t fever hv -implc irnans, ami thus t ■ more or le.-s - >mj>l-t ly < ntr->1 tin spreinl of t lm disease.
