DIpTHERIA AND ITS CURE.-This singular disease has become so prevalent and has been so generally fatal that any suggestion in re- gard to its cure will hardly prove uninterest- ing, The Cincinnati Press says;
 "The diagnostc by which it is known from other complaints of the throat Is the formation of membrane which increases gradually until the patient Is literally stran- gled to death. It is sometimes accompanied by Liberation and extreme prostration of the entire system, and at others by neither of these symptoms, yet in either case it is equally fatal. To arrest the formation of this mem- brane would therefore seem equivalent to curing the disease, and this in most instances may be done in the following manner:
 In the early stages of complaint, which is always accompanied by a soreness and swell ing of the throat let the patient use sim pie solution of salt and water as gargle every fifteen minutes. At the same time moisten piece of flannel with solution of the same kind made as warm as the patient can bear it, and bind 1t around the throat renewing it as often as the gargle Is admins tered and meanwhile sprinkling fine salt be- tween the flannel and the neck. Use in wardly some tonic or stimulaut, either sepa- rately, or, if the prostration be great, use both together The treatment, as may be seen, is extremely simple, and, if used in the early stages of the disease, effects complete cure.

POETICAL.
LIGHT.

The following exquisite poem by WILLIAM PITT BANNER, was some years ago, pronounced by one of the most eminent European critics, to be the finest production of the same length, in our lan- guage:
 From the quickened womb of the primal gloom The sun, rolled black and bare Till wove him a vest for his Ethiop breast Of the threads of my golden hair; And when the broad tent of the Armament
 Arose on its airy spars, 1 pencilled the hue of its matchless blue And spanged it round with stars I painted the flowers of the Eden bowers,
 And their leaves of living green, And mine were the dyes ill the sinless eyes Of Edens virgin queen; And when the iends ant on the trustfu heart
 Had fastened its mortal spell In the silvery sphere of the first born tear To the trembling earth fell. When the waves that burst OCT a world accursed Their work of wrath had sped, And the Ark's lone few, tried and true Came forth among the dead; With the wondrous gleams of my bridal beams 1 bade their terrors cease, As l wrote on the roll of the storms dark scroll, Gods covenant of peace.
  Nights funeral shadow slept Where shepherd swains on the Bethlehem plains Their lonely yigils kept. When flashed on their sight the heralds bright Of Heavens redeeming plan, As they chanted the morn of Saviour born Joy, joy to the outcast man. Equal favor I show to the lofty and low, On the just and unjust l descend; E en the blind. whose vain spheres roll in dark
 ness and tears.
 Feel my smile. the blest smile of friend Nay, the tower of the waste, by my love is em- braced,
 As the rose in the garden of kings; At the chrysais bier of the worm l appear,
 And To! the gay butterfy's wings. The desolate morn, like mourner forlorn Conceals all the pride of her charms, Till bid the bright hours chase the night from
 her flowers,
 And lead the young day to her arms; And when the gay rover seeks Eve for his lover, And sinks to her balmy repose, 1 wrap the soft rest by the zephyr-1anned west, In curtains of amber and rose. From my sentinel sleep, by the night broodcd-
 deep,
 gaze with unslumbcring eye When the exposure star of the mariner Is plotted from out the sky; And guided by me through the mcrciless sea, Though sped by the hurricanes wings, His composites, dark, lone, weltering bark
 To the haven home safely brings. Iwaken the flowers in their spanged bowers, The birds in their chambers of green, And mountain and plain glow with beauty again, As they bask in their matinal sheen, C. if such the glad worth of my presence to earth, Though ftful and heeting the while, What glorcs must rest the home of the blest, Ever bright with the Deitys smile.

Prentice of The Louisville Journal, speaks thus to his readers: Those who think that in order to dress we'll it is necessary to dress extravagantly and gaudily, make great mis- take Nothing so we'll becomes true femi- nine beauty as simplicity. We have seen many remarkably fine person robbed of its fine effect by being over dressed Nothing is more unbecoming than overloaded beauty. The simplicity of the classic taste is seen in the old statues and pictures, painted by men of every superior genius as artists. In Athens, the ladies were not gaudily but simply array ed, and we doubt whether any ladies excited more admiration"

SKETCH OF A CHILD's ScHooL.-The children sang songs; they repeated long pass ages of poetry in concert; they went through the multiplication table to the tune of " Yan- kee DoodIe;" they answered with the shrill, sing-song voice of parrots all sorts of questions in geography; they recited passages of Scrip ture; they gave an account of the creation of the world and of the American Revolution they told the story of the birth of Christ and spelled words of six sylables; they added, they multiplied, theysubtracted. they divided, they told what hemisphere, what continent, what country, what State, what county, what town they lived in; they repeated the names of the Presidents of the United States and the Governors of the Commonwealth; they acted little drama of Moses in the bullrushes and they did many other things, till, all through the audience, astonshmept grew into delight, and delight grew into rapture.

GENERAL J4CHSON'S HIFE-HER LAST
 HOURS.

GENERAL JACKSON'S EIFE-HER LAST
 HOURS.
 The new volume of Mir Pa,ton's Life of Andrew Jackson" has the following account of the death of the Generals wife:
 'On Monday evening the evening before the twenty-thrd, her disease appeared to take a decided turn for the better; and she then so earnestly entreated the GraeEl O prepare for the fatigues of the morrow hy having a night of undisturbed sleep tas- l,cntcl at last, to go into an aljaaa m and lie down upon sofa The docrf aa. -...l iu the house Hannah and George were to sit up with their mistress At nine o'clock the General bade her good night, went into the next room, and took off his coat, preparatory to lying down. He had been gone but five minutes; Mrs, Jackson was then, for the first time, removed from her bed, that it might be re-arranged for the night While sitting in a chair, supported in the arms of Hannah she uttered long loud, inarticulate cry which was immediately followed by rattling noise in her throat Her head fell forward upon Hannahs shoulder. She never spoke nor breathed again
 "There was wild rush into the room of husband, doctor, relatives, friends and ser wants The General assisted to lay her upon the bed. Bleed her. he cried No blood flowed from her arm. Try the temple, doc tor Two drops stained her cap, but no more followed.
 '' It was long before he would believe her dead He looked eagerly into her face, as if still expecting to see signs of returning life. Her hands and feet grew cold, There could be no doubt then, and they prepared table for laying her out With . choking voice, the General said
 "'Spread four blankets upon it. If she does come to, she will lie so hard upon the table
 <" He sat all night long in the room by her side, with his face in his hands, 'grieying, sad Hannah and occasionally looking into the face, and feeling the heart and pulse of the form so dear to him. Major Lewis, who had been immediately sent for, arrived just before daylight, and found him still there, nearly speeches., and wholly inconsoabe He sat in the room nearly all the next day, the picture of despair. It was only with great difficulty that he was persuaded to take d little coffee
 And this was the way, concluded Hannah, that old mistus died; and we always say when we lost her, we lost mistus and a mother too, and more mother than a mistus And we say the same of old master; and many's the time we wished him back again to help us out of our troubles"
 "The remains of Mrs. Jackson still lie in the corner of the Hermitage garden, next those of her husband"

MORE ROBEREEs In KANSAS

The Bates county Standard fthe 18th, pub
lished in Putler Missouri and received lSst
night, has lengthy acoonnt Of another forsy,
made by gang Of some forty men from
Kansas, led by one Snyder, who figured large
ly under the notorious thief and cut throat
Capt Montgomery, during the 'saiDted' Old
Browns time in that Territory. We CON
denss the det1ils but give the specific facts
Three men of Missouri, Messrs, Bennett,
of Psrksville, Brown of West Point, and Bell
of Lafayette county, started over into Kansas
on the evening of the 9Th inst. after fugi-
tive slave, who was understood to be in the
vicinity Of Ossswstouie. Night drove them
into shelter, aud they obtained it with far
mer named Taylor. When all had retired.
and the weary travellers were about giving
themselves up to sleep, voices were heard
without, and the tramp Of many feet betrayed
the presence Of large company of men, who
soon demanded admission into the house. -
that the strangers be sent or brought out TO
them.
To save the house and property Of their
hest from ashes, and probably their own
lives, the Missourians surrendered, an dress,
ed and went out Once in the hands Of the
! Brigands, they we're compelled to suffer nn.a-
erous personal indignities' They brought the
very negro whom their prisoners we're in
search Of, and made him confront them, and
cast the lie in their teeth their hats and coats
we're taken of and given to hiu, and one OF
the men was compelled TO wear the black ras-
calls hat then the unfos 'unste men were de-
! Irived Of their Rrms-a brace Of Colts rovol-
yers each-and levy Of 6fty dollars was as
sessed to pay the negro expenses 10 Canada.
The horse Of one Of them was given the negro

aud the proceeds, We suppose, applied to
the "JayhaWk" fund. About seven or eigbt
hundred dollars worth Of property was
taken,

be done with tbe prisoners, part Of the band
being in favor ofhsDging; indeed some violent

THE sPEAISERsHIP.

On three occasions before the present, in
The history Of this country, similar dihcul-
ty has occurred in the election Of Speaker Of
the House Of Representatives. They have
all taken place within the last twenty years.
When no party has a clear majority this dih-
Guilty is unavoidable ani the organization
may be delayed long period.
The Congress which metin December 1892
was so nearly balanced that no organization
was effected until the Grst Of January, ls4O,
when the choice fell upon Robert NJ. 7, Hunt
er, then Whig, but before the session was
over he Joined the Democratic party, aud sup.
ported Mr. Van Buren for President, in the
election Of that year
Ten years afterwards, in lS49, no party
had majority Robert c. Winthrop was the
Wbig, and Howell Cobb, the present able
Secretary Of tho Treasury, the DomOora Is,
candidate. After balloting three weeks 1t
was found impossible to elect by majority,
and the plurality rule was adopted, which
declares that the person receiving the highest
number Of votes shall be deemed elected
whether he has the majority or not. Under
this rule Mr.. Cobb was elected, he having one
hundred and two votes TO Mr.. Winthrops
ninety-nine ...
In 1856 the balance Of power between the
Democrats and Republicans was held by the
Kuow NOthings. The balloting' continued
for eleven or twelve weeks, and no choice was
effected until February, 1856, when the pit
rslity was again adopted, and N. P. Banks
was elected by vote of one hundred aud
three to one hundred for william Aiken, Dem
OcrAt of South Carolina.
The present delay in the election Of Speak
er will probably be terminated as the LAST tive
ware, by the adoption Of the plurality rule,
unless, njeed, Messrs. Schwartz, Hickman,
Haskius, Reynolds, StrattOn, and II. F. Clarl
should vote directly for Sherman, which
would be sufficient to elect him. The adop.
zion Of the plurality rule would, necessarily
put the Black Republican nominee in thu
chair, and o vote cast in its favor would b,
nothing else than Q vote cast to elect hiu.-
