scARLnr FEvsa. Notwithstanding the

SCARLET FEVER Notwithstanding the
frequent calls we have made upon the pro.
frssion to answer this quesion--why is moi
the scarlet fever managed with more success
than the bills Of mortality show il TO be, in
the United States ? il is again urged upon
the consideration Of practitioners. In Bos-
ton, in 1881, So persons died ofscarlet fever;
in 1882. l49 in 1888, 81 in 1884, %; in
1895, 46 in 1886. i6; in 1887, 80; and
in 1888. 81. In The month OF January last,
81 died. and up to February 20, present date
20 more have been carried of by this same
bosom ofdestriction. The malady has been,
perhaps, equally destructive in all the cities
and large inland towns on The seacoast, dur
ing the same years. Still we hear Of no
impi movements in Practice. There is plen-
~ OF hne-spi'n theory abroad, a quanium
sui OF which has been sent (yet unpublished)
TO our address but this is by no means sat
isfaclory. Till the mortality is actually les
soned by medicine, we shall be slow TO be-
lieve that scarlet fever is well treated. That
we might be satisfied that all human exertion
had been made to save patient-that all the
knowledge and all the experience OF gen.
tleman, who has lost as many patients by the
scarlet fever ms any man OF his age, had been
brought TO bear, we were lately invited 10
examine case. II twas precisely us repres-
ented; whatever others had given, was given
here, and the practice was as mech anical as
the operations Of carding machine. Eve.
Y thing operated kindly, and--the patient
died. Cannot some new rule OF practice
be devised, combining more advantages
than the old This is plain and important
quesiion--for there is an urgency a very
few, only, recover and therefore il is infer.
red that new mode of treatment is required

the vivid deluge poured

0r5s The J. w. Richmond has again re-
sumed her trips on this line, and will continue
them, at her old fare of So, as long as the pub
lie will sustain her which, we hope, they will
do as il is so evidently the interest Of all trav-
ellers that she should be kept on the route.
The monopoly company have also again put
one of their boats against the Richmond, con-
veying passengers for Sl,-hoping thereby to
deprive her of sufficient patronage to sustain
her, and to drive her offthe route. Those persons
who take advantage of this low fare, ought to
be willing to contribute something towards the
support Of the Richmond, as it is only through
her means that they travel so cheaply, and, il
obliged to travel, save at least three dollars on
single passage. We therefore suggest the pro-
priety and justice Of the passengers in the dol
lar boat, making contributions towards the
support Of the r. If every passenger we're to
give fifty cents only, which they can certainly
afford out of their savings, the Richmond would
be sustained without any doubt.
The best way however, is to go in the Rich
mond, and pay SO for your fare, which is a rea-
sonable and fair price.

Lnprored Light for Light Houses.-Sinee
the 1sf of April, the lamps which are used in
the lanthorn Of the Boston Light House, have
been filled with other material than oil. Wo
understand that gentleman Of this city, has
discovered mode Of manufacturing combust-
ble liquid. which will burn more brilliantly
than oii.--and which emits no smoke or gas
and, of course, whenever il is used, there is no
necessity to clean the glasses, and the light will
be AZ brilliant at 4 O'Clock in the morning as at
O'Clock in the evening. We learn that he
has made proposal to government, to furnish
material for lighting up all the light houses on
our. coast with brighter and more uniform
light than is the case at present, and at an ex-
pense, certainly not exceeding what is now
paid for oil. The experiment is now being
tried on the Boston Ligh, House, and thus
far il succeeds admirably, and promises 10 e.
DUAL in excellence, all that is claimed b, the
inventor. II is not likely. however, than any
charge will take place along our coast until the
experiment is fully and fairly tested.
