Morphia and Tincture of Iodine for
 Neuralgia.

The following method of successfully treat ing that painful disease, neuralgia, is from the Dublin Medical P5ssS As corrollary to his remarks on the efficacy of tincture of iodine in the treatment Of neuralgia, M
 Bouehut adduced several cases from which it appears that when the remedy in its pure state has proved unavailng, the pain some times yields in remarkable manner when a certain amount of morphia has been added to the tincture. In this instance the spplica- tion IS not merely counter-irritant; indeed, in this respect the fluid would seem to have lost some of its power; its efficacy is chiefly due % the presence of the sedative, the in troduction of which beneath the epidcrmis is facilitated by the tincture of iodine. What ever explanation may be offered of the effects Of this mode of treatment, its beneficial opera tion is an unquestioBable fact, deserving of every attention. Thus, we noticed in NJ Bouchut's wards, little girl, who while re- covering from typhoid, became affected with neuralgia of the forehead and temples, pure tincture of iodine failed in relieving the pain. M. BOuchut ordered the brow to be painted over three times day with solution of half . draehm of sulphate of morphia in half an ounce of tiDcture of iodine, and a cure was affected in the course of three days The professor adopted the same method of treat ment in the case of lady, aged fifty-two, suffering from interscapular neuralgia, symp- tomatie os chronic pulmonary disease. Morn ing and evening sedatiye tincture was applied to the regions, and on the second day amend n'eat set In, and the neuralgia was altogether removed on the fourth day.

Growth of the Union.

The following table, while not in all re- spects absolutely accurate, is as nearly correct as the Census Bureau. from its present re- turns, can give them. Texas is put in round numbers, and is only given as an approxima- tion to the actual enumeration. The figures will be read, however, with general interest. They were prepared by tine Census Bureau for the Treasury Department, to guide the apportionment of the new currency among the States:

Ak acre contains 4,S40 square yards. A square mile contains 6i0 acres. A mile is 5,280 feet, or l,760 yards in length. A league is miles. A fathom is feet. A hand (horse measure) is inches. palm is 3 inches. A space is feet.

It. will be seen that Illinois presses Ohio very closely for the fourth place in the table of States, the Buckeye State leading by only ll2,0S6 inhabitants. Nevada shows the largest ratio of growth, after which comes Nebraska; but Kansas, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois and Missouri, have also increased very rapidly. The statement is highly satisfactory, as indicating the steady and permanent de- velopment of the Great West and its illimi- table rcsources.-S F. Gull

VITAL STATISTICS.
LIFE, DEATH, AND MATRLMoNY.

The Record Of Philadelphia for 1S6D-Annual
RcpOrI of the Health Onicer, showing tue
Number OF Births, Denths, and Marriages In
the City during the Year.
John E. Addicks, Esq. the Health Officer of
this city, has submitted to the Board of Health
his annual report upon the births, deaths, and
marriages registered in bis department during
the year ending December 81, 1867.
General sanitary Condition Of the City.
The report states that 'the general sanitary
condition of the city during the year will COM
pare favorably with that of any other of the
large cities the net deaths amounting to 13, 42S,
as our mortuary table will show, and II our esti-
mate of the population is near the correct figure
(say 800, ,000), we have only death In every 30
of the population, which is certainly a very
small death rate.
Among the registered diseases we find nothing
to attract any particular attention, or present
any form of an epidemic, unless 1t be scarlet
fever, which increased considerably during the
year, and reached the number 799, large in
crease over the previous year, and the highest
that had been attained since the year 1861, and
regret at the close of the year 1t was still on the
increase. We only had six deaths from small
pox, nine from sporadic cholera, and one death
from yellow fever, which was brought from New
Orleans for interment in this city
ut is highly gratifying we can present such
a favorable report of the health of our city, and
while our tables of mortality are correct, yet 1t
is to be regretted that those of our births and
marriages still remain defective, and will con-
tinue so until our community become awakened
to the importance of registration. We eXpe-
rience considerable trouble with large number
of the physicians in not receiving their returns
of births Mt the proper time, as our collectors are
compelled to call very often after their reports
without success, and in some cases are positively
refused; and at the close of the year 1t is with
great difficulty we obtain them, thus entailing
much additional labor on the officers and de-
laying the completion of the report Conside-
rable trouble is also had with a few of the cler-
gymen aDd aldermen, who neglect to report at
the proper time. Consequently we are com
PEELED to notify them, and then receive their
returns for the entire year, which also adds
much more labor, and which can be avoided
very easily If these parties would manifest the
proper interest in the workings of the law"
The Births of the Year.
The number of births registered during the
year was 1880, n decrease from the previous
year of 800 or 1'73 per cent. The number of
male births was 1861, decrease from the pre-
vious year of 127; the female births during the
year were S099, decrease from the previous
year of 172.
The following table will show the number of
births in each month, the number of colored
births, still births and twins:-

way will be we'll ventilated and lighted so that
its use will be pleasant aud healthy. q. 1t can
be constructed without interruption either to
the travel on the street or the convenient use OF
the buildings adjacent, and without occupying
the street for the hauling of the materials re-
quired from or to the work; and 1t can be built
without endangering any of the structures
along the street, and with arrangements for n
better location of the water and gas pipes and
sewers, and without any interruption of the
present connections. T. The route selected is
determined by the topography of the island. 8.
1t in no case occupies or Injuries any private
property, but in nearly all cases greatly enhances
the value of the property along its route. 3.
There are no difficulties attending the construc-
tion of the work which cannot be overcome with
engineering skill, and at a comparatively mode
rate cost. Finally, 1t meets a necessity in the
most complete and unobjectionable manner.
The estimated cost is from $l,600,0O0 to
$2,000000 per mile. The board thinks the
highest of these sums would in general be sulli-
cient to cover the expense.

Rudolph, the billiard champion of America,
offers to play three games with Roberts, the
senior ex-champion of England, for the cham
pionship of the world and $4,000, on the fol-
lowing conditlons:-If Roberts elects to play the
English game, it shall be for 1000 points; and if

MOB RULE.
| Particulars Of the Double Murder In Louisiana
| Horrible SCENES


Of the murder of Colonel Jones and his son by
the mob avengers of General Liddell's death, the
New Orleans Picdyune says
When the contest commenced the three were
in front room. The father, standing near q
bedstead, rested his wounded left arm on it, and
in his right hand held a revolver pointed at the
portal. The second son stood Immediately in
rear, with two revClvers pointed in the same
direction. The third son (the one who is now
in the city, was still further back armed with
one revolver. In the brief parley the younger
brother had urged the unhappy little garrison
to take a station up stairs, and the other two
insisted that if fire was used that course
would only lead to certain destruction and
all had best meet 1t boldly. The youth,
however, did not seem disposed to give
up all hopes, and before the assault had fairly
commenced, he retreated through a rear room
in the direction of the staircase. About the
time he had placed his foot on the first step,
there came a terrific banging at the door, appa-
rently with an axe. Hurrying up, he was
startled with crash the door had fallen, and
the horror which followed rivalled terrors of
hell itself A dozen shots in quick succession,
a tiendish yell, the groan of dying man, aud
the tramp of heavy footsteps. Men, like wild
beasts maddened at the sight of blood, rushed
in all directions. The older son, desperately
wounded, tottei ed out to the garden in the rear
only to have the remnant of life shot out of him
| by wretch (revOlver in hand), who stood over
| him as he lay gasping on the ground.
| The work of carnage was OF short duration;
| ten minutes completed the butchery below, aud
then rush was made for the upper story for
| the one more victim, beardless boy who re-
| mained for their hungry bullets. To leap to
| the ground and certain death, or present hi;
breast to the now ascending assassins, was the
/ thought of an instant. While the assaiants
| were yet on the stairs he concluded to dc
neither and sprang through front window
| where, grasping a ledge formed under the sill
| he swung himself out and hung suspended
| blood below, blood-thirsty enemies above. How
| long he remained there is better told by hi
hands covered with blisters and SO bruised anC
strained that even now they are nearly useless
| The room was speedily filed with men
Torches were thrust out almost over his head
hut thanks to their binding glare the victim
hung unseen. They evidently believed he hat
escaped. Parties were even sent to the river
but after a stay of perhaps fifteen minutes tn
i scene of horror was deserted

The Fire Department of st. Louis have
added a new leaf TO their laurels. A little after
midnight, on the 4th inst, fire broke out in a
liquor saloon. Through the smoke the figure
of, as was supposed, a negro was seen inside
standing with outstretched arms, as If imploring
aid A gallant fireman, seizing an axe, broke
the door open, and rushed in amid flame and
smoke, presently returning with the rescued
sufferer in his arms. The cheers of the crowd
greeted him as he bore his burden into the
street and attempted to set it down. 1t was stiff
and couldn't sit down: 1t stands to this hour in
was a wooden image of monkeyused as q sign

honor the man who risked his own life for the
sake of a man and a brother; and we really re-
gret that the object of such valorous zeal can
never give utterance TO gratitude.

l. F. Quinby aud John b. Jarvis, having been
requested as Board of Engineers "to consider
the question of subway under Broadway, in

the street from its present interruptions, and of
affording more convenient and speedy transit
for passengers and tor merchandise, without
injury to the property upon the line of
the street, or diversion of the established
classes of business thereon" have submitted a
report in which they say that Sub.Arcade Rail-
way, such as is proposed by the New York Ar
cade Railway Company, will accomplish the OBJ
jects desired, namely:-1. 1t provides pleasant
rapid transit for through passengers between the
lower and upper ends of the island, and a slower
but still speedy movement for the local passen-
gers. 2. IL provides cheap and convenient chan
mel for the conveyance of freight between the
termini of the steam railways, and large por-
tion of the business houses In the city 3. 1t

The Boston Commonwealth says:--"John
Bright intended to visit our country soon after
the surrender of General Lee, and had resolved
to come. Wise friends persuaded him to defer
his visit. He acceded to their request, as they
were Americans, and his personal friends. But
If he lives long enough to shape the government
of England, and retain a moderate share OF
health, John Bright is certain to tread the sane
tilted soil of our redeemed republic"
