HARPERs' WEEKLY very pertinently says that
if the most formidable objection that could
be made to the administration of Gen. Hof-
man were, that he goes to Saratoga and
dances quadrilles, and if this appalling fact
were repeated day after day in every form,
it would be tolerably clear that nothing Sc
we're could be argued against his conduct of
affairs. The incessant twaddle in the Demo-
cratic journals about the Presidents sum

absence of any serious complaint

To PREVENT THE SPREAD OF SCARLET FE-
vER.-Dr. Budd, of Bristol, has published
an account of his method for preventing the
spread of the scarlet fever, which ought to
find a place in every school and dwelling
house throughout the country. For nearly
twenty years the doctor has practiced the
method, and with entire success his expert
ence may therefore be trusted ; and We find
that the Registrar-Genera has published his
approval thereof f. he sets forth all the
precautions that ought to be used to prevent
the spread of infection, and shows that If
these are attended to, the disease may be
cured in a comparatively short time. and
without harm to other inmates of the house.
To counterfeit the diffusion of the poison in
the dry scurf from the skin, he anoints the
whole body, including the scalp, with olive
oil twice a day, beginning when the dry
eruption appears, commonly about the fourth
day.

Snow Sheds on the Central Pacific
Railroad.

Abiding to the covering of the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad with sheds to keep
snow from the track, the Virginia City
{ (Nevada) Enterprise, Of the 24th ult..
says:
"Much shedding is being done on the
Summit, and, should there be no bad
storms, it is expected that all the worst
part of the route through the snow belt
will be rooted in. These sheds are most
substantially constructed-strong enough
to allow an avalanche to pass over them
without damage to either roofs OF frames.
They are not, where constructed OIL
mountain sides, and intended as 4 pro-
lection against snow slides as well as the
natural fall of snow, such simple struc
lures rs the name would lead one to sup
pose, but area series of strongly framed
timbcrs, with strong beams set in the
rocks and fastened with huge spikes, and
melted sulphur poured round them,while
over all, resting upon huge timbers,
reaching from the side of the mountain
down to and over the track, is the roof.
with its strong and smooth covering OF
heavy sheet iron. 1t is confidently an
ticipated that these sheds will resist and
carry over the road any rush of snow
that may come"

Partisan Grief

On the ebay of the dead,' when all
Paris visits the cemeteries, in one OF the
secluded valleys young lady clad in
black was kneeling upon tomb with 4
wreath of immortelles i'll her hand. Not
far from her, on another tomb, was mid
dle-aged gentleman of some fifty years.
The grief of the young lady was silent
but her neighbor wept aloud. The for
mer got up to leave, and in doing SO hel
cloak brushed against the gentleman
He turned round and looked up it was
the lady's husband! The encounter was
awkward. To the question respecting
her mission, to the cemetery, the inscrip
ton on the tomb, "Allred, born 1S40
died 1862" was the sole answer. Cross
examination elected the facts that Alfred
had been the lady's lover, but had dice
before she had seen her husband. 'But
what tomb" she inquired in turn, "werc
you visitingI' This was a poser The
inscription above the grave which the
gentleman had come to visit was
blanche" His was precisely a similar
case to that of his wife. The two quit
ted the cemetery, agreeing to come again
the next year.

Consumption.

A writer in the Atlantic Monthly gives
some startling evidence to prove that
consumption is mainly caused by the
dampness surrounding the abodes of
those attacked by the disease. He says
that extended and repeated observations
in England and Massachusetts, show be-
yond doubt, that other things being equal,
consumption among the people is in di-
rect proportion with the moisture of the
localities where they live. He thinks
that consumption is in no ordinary sense
hereditary disease, and believes that
with proper precautions in building hou-
ses in dry places, and in draining wet
places where houses are already built,
this terrible disease may be robbed OF
full one-third of its victims. at once, and
may be eventually hanished from among
men entirely.
