THE CURABILITY OF CON SUMPTION. The popular belief iu the fncurahil itv of consumption now peenis to he on the road to complete overthrow. This change in sentiment has not been brought about by any new method in treatment, nor has there been a per ceptible enlargement in the number of the now living, who can claim that they have had, and that thev have re covered from this disease; but the evi idence upon which the revision in opinion is based, is even more conclu sive than that which could by any pos sibilitv be obtained from cither of these two sources. It is simply this, that pout mortem examination* have rc vr-aled the fact that pulmonary phthisis is a complaint of much greater fre quency than bus been commonly sup posed, and that multitudes of people have had the disease and have been practically cured of it, who have never so much as suspected the cause of their niness. In a series of examinations made some time since at the hospital at Edinburgh, it was found that the lungs of not less than one-third of those who died when over forty years of age were in a condition that could be ac counted for no other way than by the supposition than at some period in their lives consumption had existed, and had afterward been checked or cured. Portions of the lungs had been destroyed, but the cavities formed had been healed by the contraction and adhesion of their walls, or the dis integrated substance had been shnt in by the formation of a fibrous tissue. In the records of pout mortem examina tions at the Salpetriere Hospital at Paris, a similar experience is found, ex cept that in this case the age was ad vanced to sixty years and over, and of this class more than one-half were shown to have suffered from consump tion at some period in their lives. There may be nothing new in this to well informed medical men, but to the non-professional reader the information cannot fail to be reassuring. The dis ease is to a great extent hereditary, and there arc doubtless many people who every now and then are visited by the gloomy thought that they are liable at any time to fall victims to this deadly inheritance. If these can be made to believe that they have al ready passed through the ordeal, a supposition which, in the majority of cases, would probably be a true one, no slight addition will be made to the sum total of buman happiness. A COLORED man who had contracted a debt some years ago with one of our merchants came to town yesterday and called on his creditor. "Didn't you 'gplain to me dat if I settled dat account you would give me a 'lowance ?" said the darkey to the merchant. "Yes, I did say so, Sam," said the merchant. "If you are ready to settle your bill pow I will make a good allow ance," and the merchant waited for the colored individual to pull out his pocket book. ' Well, sir, I hasn't got de money jes' now, but I thought I'd come in and get de 'lowance; my wife wants a shawl." THE disease known as "mad itch," is really erysipelas, which is an inflam mation of the skin, accompanied with fever. In cattle the disease usually efTects the head and neck, and the irri tation is so violent as to excite frenzy in the animal. The cause is a diseased condition of the blood, which may arise from malaria, impure water, indigesti ble food, or from contact with diseased matter with open sores or wounds. The treatment is to clear the system with cooling purgatives, doses of sixteen ounces of Epsom salts are usually given, and to use antiseptic medicines, as hyposulphite of soda, in one ounce doses, continued for some weeks. The diseased skin may be washed with a solution of sulphate of zinc (white vit riol), one drachm to a ouart of water. —Out of season—An empty pepper box. —Thieves work on abstract princi ples. —Never keep a chalk account with a milkman. —The fancy penman's business is flourishing. —Women's silence is like gold— very scarce. —A petrified body indicates that a man is stone dead. —Flat irony—Knocking a man down with a railroad spike. —A deal of money has been made on the ryes in whisky. —"Up one day and down the next— The weights of a clock. —The greatest boon to the nnirnal kingdom—The baboon. —Were the dead languages killed by being studied too hard ? —The best way to snub a man of of doubtful credit is to take no noto of him. —The thin man who has fieen fat knows what it is to live in reduced circumstances. —lt must have been very slippery weather when the prodigal returned, a.4 it is recorded that the old man "fell on his neck." —"I alius takes things as they come," remarked the tramp, as he lifted the apple pie that had been left out of doors to cool. —"Py schiminy, how dat poy does study de langwidgcs!" is what a de lighted elderly German said when his four-year-old son called him a blear eyed son of a saw-horse. —A gentleman Iraveling in Ireland said to a very importunate beggar, "You've lost all your teeth." The beggar quietly answered, "An' its time I parted with 'ein, when I'd nothin' for 'ein to do." —When little Washington said to his pa, "I cannot tell a lie," the old gentleman turned pale with astonish ment and grief. "Why, you young rascal," he exclaimed, "that's the big gest one yet." —"lf Lincoln had not died," ex claimed a political orator, "what would he have been to-day ?" "Alive!" sadly ventured a timid-looking man on a back seat, and the tide of elo quence was momentarily checked. —"I wonder how the world will get along without me, when I am gone!" said a conceited man. "Well," responded a friend, "I'll tell you how you can get an id«a of it. You just go and stick the point of a needle in the ocean and withdraw it, and see how much its missed!"
