Louisiana Politics.

NEW YORK, April u.
A New Orleans special reports that one
more colored member gone over from the
Packard to the Nichols legislature. Only
five more are needed. The color line is
breaking.
A special Gays it is generally conceded
that the commission will be unable to ef-
feet any compromise. The difficulty will
probably settle itself within ten days by
assertions from the Packard house. The
commission can have an administration
senator in place Of West if desired.
A special states that the commission de-
sired Gibson to communicate to Nichols
their desire that Packard be made senator.
The proposal excites indignation.
The Sun believes the commission will
report failure to compromise. and that
Packard cannot be maintained without
troops.

Meeting of the Rutland County Med
ical and Surgical Society.

A regular meeting of the Rutland county
medical and surgical and surgical society
was held at the Bardwell house in Rutland,
on Wednesday, the 18th inst. Vice Presi-
dent ]. N. Northop occupied the chair.
Puerperal fever and puerperal poritonitis
were introduced as subjects for discussion.
Drs. Ross, Sanford, Newton and Pond re-
ported Illustrative cases, giving their modes
of treatment. 1t appears that these dis
cases have been much more prevalent for
the past year than for several years previ-
ously, prevailing more in some localities
than in others.
Castro intestinal catarrh, or catarrh of the
stomach and bowels, now prevailing cpl
demically in the county, was brought be-
fore the society. DR.. Pond thought 1t had
made its appearance somewhat earlier this
year than usual. DR.. Fosburgh reported a
singular case that had come under his OBJ
servation.
DIR. Pond read very interesting paper
on the spbygmograph, an instrument for
measuring the variations of the pulse. He
exhibited to the society his newly invented
instrument and demonstrated its use in
diagnosis. 1t is very delicate instrument
and works with astonishing accuracy,
tracing every variation of the pulse occur
ring in forlieth of second, registering
the same on slip of mica, plainly before
the eye. Every condition OF the pulse in
disease is made conspicuous. He pointed
out the advantages OF this instrument in
diagnosing intercurrent inflammation Of the
brain long before it could be otherwise de-
| tected by any other means; also was able
to detect approaching prostration in grave
cases several hours before it could other
wise be discovered. DR.. Pond has been
investigating this subject for several years
past and has now brought before the med
ical profession the finest sphygmograph
that has ever been produced in this or any
foreign country. 1t is being adopted in
some of the leSding hospitals of America as
a valuable means of diagnoeif; and it re-
fleets great honor to the medical profession
of Rutland county.
Prof. A. T. Woodward of Brandon and
Dr.. E. A. Pond of Rutland were elected
delegates to the next meeting of the
American medical association.

"that Geo. w. Jewett came to death by
the explosion of hand grenade brought
to the office by Orvllle d. Jewett, and that

Great Mistake Corrected.

havn't got the consumption :" supposing
this Notwithstanding from the name
was only designed for consumption. What
fatal mistake. Did you not know that q
medicine that viii cure consumption, will
most certstulY and speedily cure cough,
cold, hoaIseness, or any throat and lung
trouble? 1t is an eXpectorant; it will not
dry up a cough Try it for asthma, bron-
chitip, Group and whooping cough. There
is no medicine that will give as immediate
relief, which IS guaranteed. 1t is perfectly

Chicago Hotels in a Panic.

CHICAGO, April IL.
Intense excitement prevails here among
the guests of large hotels, in consequence
of the Southern hotel at st. Louis. The
hotel proprietors are doing their utmost to
suppress excitement, by adding the latest
means of fire escape to buildings and en-
ploying special fire patrols to guard against
such accidents. One of the principal hotel
owners offers to expose any room in his ho-
tel to ignited combustibles in order to test
the absolute security of his house against
fire. The test takes place this week.
