The population of United States
in 1870 was 3S,115,641. It is a
curious fact, if Hayes carries the
twenty-one States claimed, that
in 1870 they had 1876 .005 of
the population, or 8 little more
than half of the population of the
country. Grant had the electoral
vote of twenty-nine States in 1872,
and of twenty-six States in 1868.
Lincoln had the electoral vote of
twenty-five States in 1864, and of
eighteen Staes in 1860. The larg-
est electoral vote ever cast for one
man was for Grant in 1872.

Now came the last act in the cere-
monies. President Grant rose and
stepped to the platform. A tremea-
dous burst of applause greeted him.
He bowed slightly, and with military
stiRness, and, turning first to those
around him, then 70 the general audi
ence, said, In quiet tones:
Mr.. President and Gentlemen: ]

tional Exhibition closed.

Hawiey at the same instant, and turn

Hays will undoubtedly get the cleo

only canvass the gubernatorial vote.

SCARLET FEVER.

It is unnecessary for a child to die of
scarlet fever as it is that it should be
blind with cataract. Let US see At
any time before the body has finished it's
Intellectual struggle We are able to help
it, not by wonderful medicine, but by the
knowledge of anatomy, and the appli-
cation of a little common sense. We
consult the sympathetic nerve, and do
what it commands US to do. We must
give this child salt when it wants it; we
must give it acid when it has a fever
and anxiousiy Graves it-not vinegar, but
lemon juice, because the first coagulates
albumen, and the latter does not, on &C.
count of the amount Of oxygen it contains.
To initiate the soothing mucus in the in
testines, which is now wanting, and to
give some respiratory food at the same
time, we add some gum-arab;c. TO re.
store and relieve the injured nerve, we
apply moist warmth.
In practice we can fulfil all this with
the following simple manipu!ations
Undress the child and bring it to bed at
the very first signs Of sickness. Give it,
if it has already fever, sourish warm
lemonade. with some gum-arabic in it
Then cover its abdomen with some dry
flannel. Take well-folded bed-sheet,
and put it in boiling hot water wiring it
out by means of dry towels, and put this
over the whole, and wait. The hot cloth
will perhaps require repeated heating.
According to the severity of the case and
its stage of progress, perspiration will
commence in the child in from ten min
utes to two hours. The child then is
saved it then falls asleep. Soon after
the child awakes, it shows SLIGHT inclina-
ton for food ;help its bowels, if necessary,
with injections of soap, oil and water, and
its recovery will be as steady as the
growth of plant in the green
house if we'll treated.
OF course if the child were already
dying nothing could save it, or if it has
illusions in the lining Of the heart or
brain, it is much better that it should
die. But if the above is applied in due
time, under the eyes and direction of a
competent physician, I will guarantee
that mot one in a hundred children will
