TIMELY UORDS TO MOTHERS.

Our Quaker friends in Philadelphia, always
foremost with useful practical advice and
help, have lately issued pamphlet addressed
to mothers on the subject of the terrible NOR
tality of late years among children during the
Summer months, and the means, aside from
| medical aid, of its prevention and cure. The
directions are drawn up by committee OF
the Obstetrical Society of Philadelphia, and
the names are those of men who stand
highest in their profession in the treat
ment of children. OF course these di-
rections are especially intended for the poorer
class, of mothers who are unable to fly with
their teething babies out of the foul air OF
town, OF to keep them under the constant over
sight of a skilled physician. The rules, like
all those most effective in Hygiene, appear to
an ordinary reader absurdly simple; yet it is
after all disobedience to the simple rules of
health and morality, for which, since the days
of lamenting jeremiah to the present time,
the people are destroyed. When the Philadel-
phia doctors urge upon mothers In cities dur
ing the Summer months the absolute ne
cessity of bathing the child by INNER
sion in the morning i'll tepid water
and sponging it at night, the rule appears so
commonplace an exigency OF decency that 1t
ia passed over with indifference, just as the
Syrian leper scoffed at the prophets orders to
wash himself seven times. "If he had hidden
" thee do some great thing, wouldst thou not
" have done it 7" inquired his servants. We
have q shrewd suspicion that the simple rules
even in regard to washing are neither known
10 nor comprehended by the majority of
mothers, or the wise old Quaker doctors would
not have issued them thus authOritatiyely.
We. therefore, make an abstract of them,
anxious TO do our part in averting the ter
rible doom of last Summer from the little
ones.
1. Perfect cleanliness is enioined in every
minute particular; the change of night and
day clothing, clean with each change.
Q. A bed or cot, apart from its mother, for
the child.
3. Plenty of fresh air. The baby should be
taken to the Park. the boats that ply up and
down the rivers; the shady side of broad streets
or public squares; kept carefully out of the
room where cooking or washing is going on,
and given plenty of ice water to drink.
A. The house kept scrupulously clean. Walls
white-washed; slops and garbage promptly
removed; and the air purified by carbolic
acid or quicklime.
8. The child, if sick, must be kept to the
mothers milk alone, or, if that prove insult
cient, to goats or cows milk. There is no
safe substitute for milk to infants who have
not cut their front teeth No child should be
weaned, as rule, until after its second Sum-
mer. The food which Nature has provided
will often save the life of child when every
thing else fails.
0. Without the advice Of q physician, no

Philadelphia in the matter of Summer

When we urged this matter on the attention
of our charitable women last Spring, and
contributions were proifered to us for the pur-
pose there was absolutely no one to whom
we could refer the givers who was ready
to further their object. BY next Summer we
hope this Obloquy will be removed from the
city. There is an asylum ready for every
form of adult disease; but the poor mother
who sees her child dying on her knees for
lack of a breath Of Gods free air, cannot
give it to him.

HOW TO CURE PHILADELPHJd.

Why cannot the Republican party of Phila-
delphia-if any of its once purifying and re-
forming spirit survives-be true to its ancient
traditions and purge itself of the evil agencies
which now control it7 This is question even
we at distance have perfect right to ask.
We recall the days, not very remote, when, in
the great struggle for freedom and, with it,
for the publication of the State, THE
TRIBUNE had no more Jealous and
faithful co0perators than the Republi-
cans of our sister city. We honestly believe,
at this moment, thoroughly in accord as we
still are on all economical questions, that our
voice of warning will be listened to. If in
this we are in error, no responsibility rests on
us. The Republican managers in Philadelphia
may be so far implicated in the schemes of
the offce-holders a. to be unable at this day
10 release themselves and do the duty of
patriotism. In that case we appeal to the rank
and file.

has been in Philadelphia, notorious and

An election riot in Mexico is something
serious. 1t is revolution. Such disturb
ance is pending in Nuevo Leon, where there
are three candidates for Governor. Inc ciu-
zens of Monterey who have portable property
are already preparing to decamp, for the hrst
act of a revolutionary junta is to levy forced
loan. Last year Trevlno and Quiroga headed
the revolution in NuevO Leon, and the Amerl-
can Consul at Monterey was put into the COM
mon iail for refusing to pay tribute to these
brigands The unfortunate people OF Mon
terey and Matamoros are compelled to live III

revolution they pack up and leave. This year

count says that the Prussian and English con-
suls have been instructed to regard the YES

more credible report comes from Berlin, in
forming us that the German officer, who cap
tured the insurgent ship, Vigilante. has been
ordered to release the vessel and explain
his action. AT the seat of the difficulty, how
ever. the disorder is widest; the latest news
promises naval engagement in the harbor OF

"Stone walls do not prison make, Nor iron bars
cage" sang the old poet, and the case Of Mr. John
Crane Of Massachusetts, would seem TO confirm TINS
philosophical view Of incarceration. Mr. Crane, Tor
rather loose proceedings in matter Of bankruptcy
was first sent to Fitchburg Jail by the United States
authorities, and passed two years in that strong
hold, without being obliged to work. and doing very
much as he pleased Afterwards, upon conviction
of fraud in State court, Mr.. Crane was consigned
for two years to the jail in East Cambridge. Here
he boosted that he never had key turned on
him." On the ground that they were necessary TO
his health. he was permitted to wear his mustache
and beard, while the faces Of common unfortunates
were shayen as smooth as a smelt. lie had plenty
of money and was permitted to keep it in his own
possession. lie went in and out Of the building as
he pleased, and there was nothing to prevent his
going out at night ii he wanted to. lie purchased
what he wished to cat and cooked it in the guard
room. He smoked though there was rule against
smoking. He gave oyster suppers to the officers
He is said to have lad all the wine and spirits when
he wished for and, in the goodness of his heart TO
have supplied it to the prisoners. An officer who
reprimanded him was threatened by this prisoner
with dismissal, and singuarly enough, he has since
been dismissed This is the story as we find 1t, and
a very queer story it is.

New-York tribune., 1873-07-29

The ways in which poor, harmless wives are de-
ceived by marbe-hearted husbands are many and
dreadful ;-and among the most dreadful cases OF
deception is this, which we gTieve to relate. An
Indiana wife. wearing only half a dozen pounds or
so of somebody el5e's hair upon her head, became
convinced that life wouldn't be worth having with
out the addition of a pound or two to the mass.
Acting upon this conviction, she soon, by series Of
conversations persuaded her husband that his life
wouldn't be worth having unless the said addition
were Immediately made. Captivating gracefully,
he sent home two "switches" from which the fair
lady was to make her selection But mark the
wickedness of this abandoned man! Before dis
patching them he carefully changed the tags upon
which the price was marked, putting the twenty
five dollar tag upon the ten dollar switch and cce
rersa After a strict and examination Of the
two switches by his trusting wife and all her fem
inine friends, the one marked S25 was naturally
enough chosen. And that wretched man, that pc
nurious fiend, exulted over his treachery to that
gentle lovely woman
