Typhoid-Infected MILK.

There has recently broken out in the west
end of London quite an alarming epidemic of
typhoid fever, which some of the physicians
ascribe to the milk supply. An English scien-
tific paper endeavors to connect the outbreak
of the disease in London with its appearance
in some of the rural environs which supply
the metropolis with milk and butter; and its
reasoning is very conclusive.
The source Of most of our epidemics lies in
the unwholesome food or polluted water con-
sumed in towns and villages; and especially
can many of the most fatal diseases be traced
directly to the sparkling, but ewage-poisoned
water of shallow wells.
Typhoid fever is we'll known to have its
habitat in the fecal matters which frequently
leak from the best sewers and percolate the
soil, defling the subterranean waters. Scien-
tific investigation has not yet been able to de-
termine how small and minute q quantity Of
this infection will suffice to poison a whole
neighborhood, whether liberated in the most
sumptuous and elegant quarters Of London
(where the interior of the houses is con-
nected with the sewer-pipes) or in the vicinity
Of the undrained and unscavengered villages.
The present epidemic of typhoid fever in
London commenced in July, in houses where
every precaution of cleanliness had been
taken. 1t was noticed by physician that
most of the persons attacked obtained their
milk from particular dairy; and upon fur
ther examination he became convinced
that the milk was somehow or other
contaminated with typhoid poison, and
was spreading the disease. Inquiry proved that
in June the owner of the dairy farm had died
of typhoid fever that this enteric malady had
prevailed in his family with other fatal effects,
and had also been rife in the villages near
his farm and in daily communication with it
The fact was also disclosed that the well, from
which water was drawn to wash the dairy
utensils, was itself the real drain of the
dwelling and farm yard premises, which fully
accounts for the infection disseminated in the
milk.
The HERALD has before suggested the sani-
tary dangers of using the subterranean springs
and wells in every locality near human habita-
tions. We have no doubt that the polluted
underground water of the small towns and
rural settlements in oil parts of the country,
and especially in the limestone regions of the
West, is chargeable with the rapid and fearful
ravages of such epidemics as cholera, typhoid,
and other diseases. Many suggestions have been
made to put these natural water supplies and
all wells under legal sanitary provisions; but,
while this may be done in cities and towns, in
suburban districts the only reliance is in the
good sense and public spirit of the residents

TIE APOLLO HALL DEMOCRACY have taken
the warpath, and are in hot pursuit of the
Tammany braves, whose scalps they declare
they mean to have in the coming election.
They certainly exhibited more dash and en-
thusiasm at their meeting 'on Wednesday
night than was to have been expected The
policy of exclusiveness adopted by the Tam
many leaders is not only calculated to keep
that party conveniently small" but also to
create an opposition Of much strength, and
infused with spirit of bitterness that may
render compromise hereafter impracticable.
The Apolloneons made strong point in their
resolutions in regard to the Comptroller.
Property-holders Of all shades of politics will
sustain them in their opposition to the
''penny wise and pound foolish" policy Of
that official. Meanwhile Tammany is silent
on the subject. This is ominous Of evil for
the old WiRvam.

THE YELLOW FEVER, it appears, is raging at
Shreveport, La, to such an extent that COM
munications with it from the neighboring
towns and cities are generally suspended The
fever, in short, at Shreveport, has assumed the
form of violent epidemic but from the re-
moteness of the town from our great lines of
trade and travel and from the lateness of the
season, we are, at least, encouraged to believe
that the disease will soon be exhausted on the
Bed River and that it will spread no further.

PuzzlIng People.

To show how easily the mind is puzzled
by any complication of statement, we
once propounded the following to a compa-
ny Of gentleman: A owes B $500 and ad-
mits the debt AS father dies intestate,
and BIS father takes the benefit of the
bankrupt act. Does this discharge AS
obligation to b? After no little considera-
tion of the problem several of the company
decided that it did 1t seemed to the friend
with whom we were arguing perfectly easy
for any intelligent person to throw out all
the latter items of the statement as having
no possible connection with the first, but
the test established the point for which we
were contending, that this could only be
done by a mental effort to which some
men were not equal at the moment the
question was asked If we had not wit
messed such exhibitions we should suppose
that question proposed by our friend at
Morris, New York, was designed as quiz.
He supposes the case of hunter pursuing
a squirrel which lodges around tree, and
as the man with the gun follows around to
get shot at the nimble game he is seeking
keeps always exactly on the opposite side
Of the trunk. Now comes the all-important
query: Has the gunner, having thus gone
around the tree, also gone around the
squirrel? The town from which the ques-
tion comes seems to have been divided as
to the true answer.

tB" A crime astonishing in its details, is
reported to have recently been COM
mitted in Ireland. A goods train starting
out from Limerick just before dusk, had
proceeded but few miles when it came to
a full stop. The astopished guard jumped
from his box and ran up to the engine, but
when he arrived neither fireman nor driver
were visible. The light of his lamp, how
ever revealed traces of blood and hair. He
at once searched the line on the back track,
and thus discovered first the drivers hat,
and next his dead body lying on the sleep
ers. Taking the train on to the next
station he reported the facts to the police,
who set out ON foot in search of the missing
fireman. They found him the next morn
ing in cabin not far from the railway,
and got possession of his clothes, which
were stained with evidence Of guilt. Over
come by his sudden discovery he referred
the death of his comrade to sudden quar-
rel caused by the drivers violence towards
him. Justice may find out the facts but
however the final strife arose, the incident
is one that fastens upon the imagination,
and must take its place among the most re-
markable class of crimes. Here, on an en-
gine speeding through the darkness, two
men suddenly fall into deadly feud, and
one, quickly murdered, is cast forth upon
the rails, while the other stopping the train,
flies for his life.

Such q Nose.

Stotesbury lost his nose in early life
during an interview with patent hay
chopper, but he succeeded in procuring a
wax nose of such marvellous construction
that only keen scrutiny could detect the
fraud. One night last winter, while Stot-
csbury was on his way to Miss Johnson's,
a tremendous fire broke out, and Stotes-
bury stopped to look at it. He became
deeply interested and drew quite near to
the flame. The heat was SO great that
Stotesbury's nose gradually softened, and
assumed something of the shape of raw
oyster. He did not notice it, however, but
went calmly onward to Miss Johnsons.
When he entered, the servant girl at the
began to laugh in most boisterous man.
ner. Stotesbury, indignant, pushed on
ward to the parlor, as he entered, Miss
johnson rose to receive him. AS she
caught glimpse of his nose she stopped,
looked amazed, and then buried her face
in her handkerchief in convulsion of
laughter. What is the meaning of this
extraordinary conduct, Miss johnson p" de-
manded Stotesbury. "Oh, Nh. Stotesbury,"
she said "please excuse me--but wha-
wha-what's the matter with your nose ?'
Stotesbury went to the pier glass, gazed at
the serious oyster on his face, jammed his
hat suddenly on his head, and fled from
the room. AS he reached the entry, he
found Miss Johnson's little brother just in
the door, and as that urchin perceived the
condition of StotesbuIy's face, he gave
one wild yell and shrieked, "Oh, Tilly,
come here, come here quick, and look at
old Stotesbury's nose y Then Stotesbury
emerged all at once from the front door and
went home. He is now wearing an India
rubber nose, and goes past Miss Johnson's
without ringing the bell.

Capt. jacks Theology.

Capt. Jack got off good thing just the
day before his execution. A clergyman was
engaged in explaining to him the immortal
ity of the soul and the consolation of Ieli-
gion to one in his fearful situation. He
told him all about Heaven, and what a
blessed place it was and how happy he
would be when he got there, where he
would meet many of his old friends who
had gone to glory before him, and how
much happier he would be in the next
world than in this one, and that instead of
suffering loss by the change he would be
the gamer, and that in view of the great
glory into which he was about to enter, it
was better to die and be translated into
Heaven than TO stay here in this wicked
world of sin and suffering. Jack listened
attentively, and when the preacher got
through said
"But are these things true you are tell
ing me?"
"Yes, every word told YOU"
"You are certain about them ?'
"Yes, sir, am certain. There can be
no doubt about It,.

The Greatest Discovery Of the Age I

HNHERE are no diseases so facilitating in
their effects upon the constitution as the
above, and none more difficult to cure by the
usual modes of practice. The Fever and Ague
Powders will effect cure in cases of the long
est standing, as we'll as prove q preventive in
the forming stages of disease. Being purely
Vegetable, they act with certainty on the dis
ease, totally eradicating 1t from the system,
and preventing return at any future period.
Why waste your money and health in trying
every medicine you hear of, when Thompson's
Fever and Ague Powders have never failed to
cure the Cbils In any case.
REASONS WHY THEY ONLY SHOULD BE
USED:
Ihetr Reputation is Established. = Thousands
of testimonials have been received, showing
that these Powders have performed miracles in
curing cases of long standing, many of them
considered hopeless. III
There is no Risk in Taking Them. They
contain nothing injurious, and, therefore, cause
none of those lingering diseases so often the re-
suit OF the many nostrums of the day. Physi-
clans recommend them as far superior to Qui-
the system in healthy state, and the patient
beyond the probability of relapse.
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITs. = The
genuine are put up in square tin boxes, with
"Thompson's Fever and Ague Powders''
stamped on the lid, and the signature of
"Thompson q Crawford, on the wrapper.-
