Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1877-01-06

Since the result of the Presidential
election became a matter of doubt,
nothing having more important bear
ing upon the question than the follow
ing-from the Washington correspond
ence of the Philadelphia Times-has
been published:
The most significant declaration is
that of Chief Justice Waite, whose
opinions are not concealed on the
issue, although he has expressed them
with the prudence that becomes his
position. He is the personal and
political friend and neighbor of Gov.
Hayes, and all his sympathies are
naturally with the Republican candi-
date; but he has declared that the
result must depend upon the facts in
the disputed States, and that the
present aspect of the controversy
points very strongly to the election
and proper Inauguration Of Tilden. Il
is now we'll understood In political
circles here that the Supreme Court
cannot be trusted to declare Hayes
elected, strongly Republican as it is
and this development has done much
to demoralize the already weak Nor.
ton-Sherman leadership Gen. But
ler's visit here has also been dampel
to the Administration. He refuses t.
stand up to the Louisiana and Florid;
returns, and proposes to remand thu
election back to the people; but al
concede that In a new election TildeI
| would sweep the country like Whirl
wind, because of the very general con
viction that he was honestly elected
in November.

DTPHTHERIA.
The President Of the New York Board
Of Health on It's Causes and
Prevention


THE origin Of diphtheria," says
President Chandler, OF the New York
Board of Health, lis a mystery. Most
physicians, | believe, think that sewer
gases started it. 1t is a germ disease,
like smallpox. and is communicable.
1t often seizes robust children who, at
the funerals of playmates, or in school
or church, are exposed to its direct in
fuence.
THE diphtheritie poison, impregnat-
ing the air passages of the patient, af
fects the entire system. The air-pas-
sage impregnation speedily changes
into inflammation. accompanied by the
formation of membrane. Fever next
follows. The poison begins to act as
soon as it falls upon the tissues of the
air-passages, but doesn't sensibly af-
feet the patient until two to five days la
ter. Then he feels great prostration, his
throat is dry, and he has prickling
pains in swallowing. The throat red
dens, white membrane appears in
patches, and the glands swell. In fatal
cases the fever increases, the throat
Inflammation spreads, and general ex-
haustion follows.
The diptheritic poisons olings to
rooms and may occasion death months
afterward. Diphtheria prefers, SEEM
ingly, children between one and ten;
the average age of it's victims now is
about two years. Neither heat nor
drought, affect it. Cleanliness and
pure air everywhere in dwelling tend
to avert and mitigate it.
Where it exists no child should be
permitted to kiss strange children, par
ticulaTly when they have sore Threats,
or even to play with their toys. When
any child in a family has sore throat,
the other children should be kept rig
idly apart, in welE-ventilated rooms.
Every throat affection should be prop
erly treated. The sick child should be
watchfully Aursed in we'll ventilated,
suulit room.
Men who live on fifth avenue are as
tonished that their children die. 1t
is not ut all marvellous; half of the
houses there are not fit to live in.
One-half of their owners, l am con-
fident, have never been in their own
cellars. They fill their drawing-rooms
with satins and gliding, but give nc heed
to the drain pipes. Often So would
have saved loved child's life, if seas
onably spent in repairing a defective
drain-pipe.
"A few days ago went into the cell
lar of great brown stone house. The
current of the sewer gas, rushing d.
rectly up to the bedrooms, put out my
candle, and left me to grope my way
out in darkness.
I'VE have only one expert in plum
bers' work, and as the examination of
a single house takes an hour or two, he
cannot accomplish much. Men should
look to their own plumbing for them
selves.
IF the Beard of Health had hos
pital in which children suffering with
diphtheria could be isolated, it would
be the saving of many lives"

A Card to the Public.

For many years we have made two
medicines suited'to the ailments Of a
vast class of sufferers. Thousands of
cures have been made by them, and,
in fact, the word failure could not be
coupled with them. But within the
last two years cOunterfeits of our med
icines have sprung up, dangerous in
their close imitation of our Trade
Mark. To secure the people we have
placed upon each genuine box of Hol-
loway's Ointment the fac smile of the
signature of our agent, Mr.. Jos. Hay
dock. To counterfeit is felony. We
shall relentlessly pursue any one who
initiates this with the utmost vigor of
the law. We most earnestly beg that
the great mass of the American people
will aid US in our efforts to protect
their health, and help US in our task
of bringing these most unprincipled
men to the bar of justice. Uniformly
refuse to purchase Medicines purport-
ing to be ours unless Mr.. Jos. Hay
dock signature is attached to each
box of Pills Or pot of Ointment and
the end will soon be reached.
The public's obedient servants,

The Thief Of Time.

How many young men and boys
there are who can be seen every day
and night lettering upon our streets
and lounging about stores, and perhaps
saloons occasionally, who, if they
would carefully consider how many
valuable hours they are spending in
idleness, would seek to lead a life
more beneficial in present on future
results. Boy, did you ever think of
it? Do you realize the fact that an
hour each evening, spent In lounglng
in some saloon wastes in the course of
year three hundred and sixty-fve
hours, which, ifapplied to study. would
familiarize you with the rudlments of
almost any of the familiar sciences !?
If in addition to wasting an hour each
evening, ten cents is spent for cigars,
which is the case with the majority of
men nova days, the amount thus
worse than wasted would pay for ten
of the leading periodicals of the coun-
try. The qualification afforded by the
lounge in some saloon, or the cigar. is
not only temporary but positively
hurtful. You cannot indulge In them
without seriously injuring yourselves.
You acquire idle and wasteful habits,
which will cling to you and make you
their worse than slave each succeeding
year. You may in after life shake
them off and most bows look upon
them as temporary indulgencies, easily
laid aside at any time, but the proba-
bilities are that the habits thus formed
in early life will remain with you to
your dying day. Be warned, then in
time, and resolve that as the hour
spent in idleness is gone forever, you
will improve each passing one and
thereby fit yourselves for some profit
able calling in life, and live contented
and happy. This is good time to
turn over a new leaf and begin little
practical reform.-Linea (Ohio) DEM

by Democrats to protest against a
fraudulent OF irregular counting in of
a President. It has become known
that in several States and in many To-

voted for Hayes aud Wheeler have
determined to join in this protest and
demand fair play and an honest count.

ers from the cities who had entered
his woods with a perfect abandon and
slaughtered the squirrels in great num-

three squirrels, took them to a taxider-
mist and had them stuffed. He took
them to his woods and nailed them fast
to the limbs of as many trees in such

A FUNNY SCENE.-A very amusing
incident occurred on Fort Wayne
railroad train. Just before one of the
accommodations pulled out from the
station we'll dressed, respectable
looking individual, slightly the worse
for tam" entered one Of the cars
and approached lady who was occupy
ing part of seat and said
MADAM, Is thi (hic) is seat taken? p
mo sir"
Madam, may I 81 (hic) it down ?"
"Y es, sir you may"
The boosy individal took a seat
and in a few minutes the train started.
He sat seemingly contented and happy
for few minutes. All at once he
threw his arms about his fellow trav-
eler and kissed her vehemently several
times.
Several passengers in the crowded
car at this became greatly incensed.
The fellow kept up his loving method
of procedure and the lady appeared to
be resisting him as best she could.
Finally a number of the most deter
mined of the passengers made stimuli
taneous bounce for the boosy man.
One individual raised a window, and
it looked as if the fellow was going to
hunt terra f,'ma when he suddenly
seemed to take in the situation.
What does vi (hic) you fellows
want?"
The only answer was a more deter
mined effort to lift the speaker from
his place. Then the other occupant
of the seat turned and took part in the
| conversation.
Gentlemen" she said, this is my
husband"

The man and his wife had entered
the car before any of the other pas
sengers, and he had gone out for re-
freshments. When he returned, feel
ing very humorous, he addressed his
partner in such tone that everybody
could hear him, as though she was a
stranger, and that's what fooled them
