DiDhtheria.

The London Standard, Of recent
date, published the following:
Some weeks ago there was very
serious outbreak of diphtheria in the
neighborhood of st. Johns Wood,
Kilburn and Hampstead. Something
like forty or fifty cases are reported to
have occurred within few days, and
rs many as twenty have terminated
fatally. Strangely enough, the disease
did not attack the poorer and more
densely populated portions of the dis
trict. The majority of the sufferers
were children whose parents occupied
large and presumably well built houses,
commanding high rental. One of
the medical officers of the local gov
ernment is at present conducting an
investigation into the causes of the
outbreak, and he will, it is believed,
come to the conclusion that it was due
to contaminated milk supplied from
one particular dairy in the neighbor-
hood.
The disease is said to have first
showed itself in house where there
were several children but, strangely
enough, it attacked not the children,
but their mother. This lady noticed
in the morning, when presiding at the
nursery breakfast table, that the milk
smelt strangely. She tasted it and felt
even more doubtful. She refused to
let the children touch it, but impru-
IDENTIFY drank large cupful herself.
Two days afterward she was attacked
with diphtheria in a most profound
form, while none of her children suf-
fered. Whether this especial case is or
is not the instantia tampadis which
will guide the medical officer of the
local government board to the conclu-
sion he seeks would be rash at present
to conjecture. 1t is certain, however,
that contaminated milk is, next to inn
pure water. one of the most fruitful
sources of diphtheria.
At Weybridge there has been an out.
break as severe as that of st. Johns
Wood, and we learn that in between
twenty and thirty cases the sufferers
had all milk from one dairy. An in
spector came down, visited the dairy
in question and found that the mill
pals, cans and basins had been washed
and rinsed with water from fOu
well. Every housewife knows, ol
ought to know, how susceptible mill
Is to contamination. A few drops O
sour milk will pollute, or, as it il
called, "turn," the whole contents O
dairy. 1t is the same with thos
organic poisons which are the germ
of epidemic disease. The milk from
can which has been rinsed out witt
water from tainted well may, an,
often does, carry death into q dOzel
households.

Small Bills.

The statement telegraphed from
Washington last week to some news
papers, to the effect that the further
issue by the treasury department Of 81
and 81 notes had been discontinued, is
not correct. No orders whatever have
been given In reference to the further
issue Of notes of these denominations,
and all proper requisitions for them are
being filled, as usual, by the treasurer.
After January l, however, the issue of
national bank notes of the denomina-
ton of 81 and So will cease, and 1t is
probable that in order to force into
circulation the standard silver dollar
the issue of legal tenders of those de
nominations will be curtailed, il not
discontinued entirely. The national
banking act provides that not more
than one-sixth of the notes furnished
to any national bank shall be of less
denomination than SIS. and 1t further
provides that after specie payments are
resumed no association shall be fur
nished with notes of a less denomina-
ton than SIS. Under this authority
national banks may demand, and the
secretary of the treasury has no power
to withhold the issue of 81 and So
notes equal to one-sixth of their au-
thorized circulation. 1t is not likely.
however, that the banks will make such
demand, rs the amount of these de-
nominations issued to them has always
been considerably below the specified
limitation. According to the last re-
port of the comptroller of the curren-
cy, the amount of 81 and So notes issued
to national banks was only about
So. .000, 900, or less than one-eighth of
incorporation to which they are legally
entitled. The small amount of these
issues is attributable to the legal limi-
tation, but more especially to the time
and labor involved in signing them, as
well as to the further fact that legal
tenoer notes Of these denominations
can be readily obtained at the treasury.
The amount of United States 81 and
So notes outstanding November l,
1871, was $40, ,407 900, which amount
was nearly equally divided between
the two denominations. Including
national bank no es, the total amount
of 81 and 81 notes outstanding ON the
date named above was s55, 100000. The
act of May 81, 1873, prohibits the
further retirement and cane ,llation of
legal tenders. But that act does not i'm
pair the authority of the secretary of the
treasury under section 3,571, Revised
statutes, to prescribe the denominations
in which such notes shall be issued
That section provides that United
States notes shall be of such denomi.
nations, not less than 81, as the secre-
tary Of the treasury may prescribe"
With IA 100000 standard silver dollars
now in the treasury, and the mints
steadily adding minimum of g., ,O0O,-
900 per month, it is reasonably certain
that after January the secretary will
withdraw United States 81 and 50
notes from circulation ss rapidly as a
prudent regard for the public interest
and the conveniences of business will
warrant.

A PROCLAMATION.
During the past year the people of
the United States have been patient in
distress, steadfast in time honored in
stitutions, and hopeful of the final

thy and quiet self-sacrifice.
Now, therefore I, John F. Hartranft,
Governor of Pennsylvania, do appoint
Thursday, the twenty-eighth day of
November, 1878, being the same day
set apart by the President of the United
States, as day of thanksgiving and
prayer, that the citizens of this COM
monwealth may give thanks to AL
mighty God not only for peace and
reviving prosperity, but for the faith,
hope and charity which His spirit has
kindled in their hearts.
Given under my hand and the great
seal of the state, at Ha' risburg, this
ninth day of November, in the year of
our Lord one thousand eight hundred
and seventy-eight, and of the common
wealth the one hundred and third.
