A SIMPLE DIsINFECTANT.-The fol-
lowing, from the New York Herald, is
about as effective, simple and cheap a
disinfectant as we have seen suggested
''Chloride of lead is the most efficient
and the cheapest deodorizer and dlsIn-
fectant known; also, the safest for sick
rooms, water closets, cesspools, emf
grant vessels, and whether the sulphate
of hydrogen and ammonia exists or is
generated. 1t is this noxious gas, and
not caIbonic acid gas, that generates
typhus fever, dIptheria and most of
those fatal epidemics that fflict COM
munities. This poisonous gas is gener-
ated by the decomposition of animal
and vegetable matter, exhslations and
eXcreta from the human body, offal, etc.
"To prepare solution of chloride
of lead ON a email scale for family use,
take one eighth of an ounce of nitrate
of lead and dissolve it in one quart of
boiling water; then dissolve one ounce
of common salt in five gallons of
water, pour the two solutions together,
and when settled pour off the clear
mixed solution and keep we'll corked

to be in general use in England for
purifying sewers; also for destroying

In regard to the Houston quarantine
against Galveston, the Telegram says:
The Mallory steamer, now lying at
Galveston wharf, touched at this in
fected port on the last trip, but never
theless she is admitted TO the most IN
restrained communication with the
city, while the Morgan steamer, which
does not approach within five miles OF
Galveston, and Is loaded exclusively
for Houston and points beyond, IS to
be rigidly excluded by the Calves

business little. These Morgan steam

demic, piled between New York and
New Orleans. On the breaking out
of the plsgue, these ships, under re-
duirement from the Galveston health
authorities. were forced to be fumI-
gated, refitted and refurnished and
manned by crews who were not liaUle
to infection aud we're then transferred
to q regular trade between New York
and Bolivar channel, IN Galveston bay.
Several OF these ships were permitted
70 make these trips unchalienged by
the Galveston board, bat that tribunal
has suddenly awaked 10 the fact that
because these ships did formerly Tua 10
New o. leans, but are now running 20
Houston from New York, they are
therefore dangerous, IL not to the

financial health Of our sister city, and
hence they must be shut out By quar-

not be allowed 70 enter that port until

The naturalist, NJ. PlanchoD, in Re
Uue des DeUr Mondes, says that while
tie eucalyptus amygdalina attains to a
Insight of 145 to 1G2 metres - that is,
4?3 to 496 feet - the dome of the In
valides in Paris is only 105 metres
high, the cathedral at Strasbourg 142,
and the pyramid of Cheops 146. The
eucalyptus globulus, although not at
tanning to the height of the amygdali-
ma, is still taller than the celebrated
California tree, the Wellingtonia gil
gantea. 1t is cultivated on large
scale at the Cape of Good Hope, the
southern coasts of Spain and France,
the island of Corsica, and especially in
Algeria. In Paris it is customary to
place young specimens of the eucalyp-
tus N public squares as movable sum-
mer decoration, aud, so much is it ad-
mlred for its peculiar form and blue colo
or, that the people regret, as winter ap-
proaches, that the plants must be re-
turned to the greenhouse. In Valen-
cha, Spain, the usual name for it is the
fever tree. A few years ago, Span
ish gardener visiting Paris was shown
the eucalyptus as novelty; he re-
marked that it was already a popular
specific against fevers among the
peasants of Valencia, and that it had
been found necessary to place a guard
at the fever tree to prevent its leaves
from being stripped off by those who
would make use of them for their med
ical effects. 1t affords the rare exam
pie of growth indigenous to Austria
lis which has been established in
Europe, Asia, Africa and America, by
reason of its utility snd beauty.

We hear, not unfrequently, the AGE

lievers used as an argument for its
truth. The Roman Catholics are much
addicted to this sort of logic, and some
of the Protestant sects try TO lord Id
over Others for similar reason. Bud

be taken into account, the Buddhist
faith has more to commend il than any
Christian form of worship. It has ex-
listed almost $500 years, and ITS adhe-
rents are estimated in round numbers
at 400, 900, 000-more than one-thlrd OF
the whole human race. Originating in
Hindostan, it now has little hold there.

Infection and ContaS;on.

1t is much to be regretted that dur,
ing the presence and the frightful and
fatal progress at the South an South
west of disease like that Of yellow
fever, any opinion should be an
nounced by leading medical men, oil
any orders issued by professional
authority, which may in any way in
crease the panic already existing in
| places which are in communication
with infected districts, or the distress
of those who are endeavoring to es-
cape from them. Yet the orders ema
mating from the bureau of the Sur
geons General of the army and navy
are sure to do this. DR.. Woodwork
says: sin some instances it has been
carried inland with the people fleeing
from infected localities. II is capable
of being transported in the clothing OF
personal effects of passengers and sail
ors." And, although he admits that
yellow fever is not communicated
from the sick to the well," he ADDS
that the ''sick aud well arc dangerous
IS possible carriers of the poison germ
or miasm." In the next sentel &c
the same Is reiterated in an
other phrasIpg of the same doctrine,
namely: "All we'll persons whose
effects have been disiDfected may be
considered harmless after six or seven
days have elapsed from the time Of
leaving an infected district or vessel"
OF course nothing can be more true,
and it is quite as true without either of
the inconvenient conditions named.
The Surgeon General of the army pro.
poses to make the United States msil
service safe by disinfecting its mail
bags, etc. Even medical secretary of
the Mississippi State Board of Health
asks the Postmaster General to "please
stop all mail matters, except first class,
from all infected points in this State"
ave regard this as important to our
safety" To which the Postmaster
General, with military promptness, and
with the good sense Of first class"
sanitarian, replies: ''It is not desira-
BILE to direct the exclusion of any class
of matter from the mails because Of the
prevalence OF yellow fever"
1t is not necessary to go into the dis
cussion of the general question of the
contagiousness of yellow fever, for
that has been long since conclusively
settled by the highest and most COM
petent authority, contagion III this con-
nection being uetined by the English
Board of Health as ''the power OF
disease from the per-
son of an individual laboring under it
to that of another, whether by actual
contact, through the medium of linsn,
bedding or any substance whatever;
through the medium of the air in
room in which the individual labors
under the disease; the capability of
being propagated by means of excre
lions or exhalations from the bodies of
those affected; or, finally, by means of

Col. G. B. ZIMPELNAE is so closely
engaged with his new enterprise, put
ting his cotton gins in operation, that
be cannot be present to give sufficient
attention, as chairman Of the commit
tee of arrangements, to the Democratic
barbecue to be given here on Saturday,
fourteenth instant. Hence, at the re-
quest of Mr. Zimpelman, the Demo-
cratic executive committee has substI-
tuted Col. Galen Crow as chairman of
the committee of arrangements, Mr..
Zimpelmsn being his first assistant.
Since in all matters of public interest
Mr.. Zimpelman is a vigorous worker,
this is to be regretted, but the response
bility has fallen upon worthy shoulders.
Col. Crow fails in nothing he under
takes, and the people may be assured
that he will make the barbecue a COM
plete success. The chairmen of the vari-
Gus Democratic precinct committees in
the county are the associates OF Col.

Does the World Move ?

The Rev. John Jasper, of Virginia,
says ode sun do move, for in de morn
in it shines on dis side OBJ de hous,
Will in de ebenln on dat side ob de
hous. Now, eff he don't move, how
com he daI2" Notwithstanding Mr..
Jasper's logic, we believe the aoOrld
moves. When Mr.. Jasper's ideas con-
stituted the popular belief, people
thought that to die CT smallpox or
cholera was simply fulfilling one of ma
lures laws. Now, through vaccina-
ton, smallpox is averted, while chol-
era morbus, dysente.y (lux), and diar-
rhe4 are readily cured By the use of
DR.. Pierce's Compound Extract of
Smart Weed. Does not such evidences
tend to Prove that "tbe world moves?'
AS an external remedy for cuts, bruises,
sprains, swellings, bites and stings of
insects, the Compound Extract OF
Smart Weed has no equal. Veterinary
surgeons have also employed 1t with
marked success.

Encouragement for the Feeble.

So long as the failing embers of VI

into a warm and genial glow, just so
long there is hope for the weak and

Yes, thanks to its unexampled tonic
virtues, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
