Anecdote OF turns.

Andrew Horror and Burns were pltted
against each other to write poetry. An
epigram was the subject chosen, because:
as Andrew internally argued, sit is the
shortest of all poems." In compliment
to him, the company resolved that his
own merits should supply the theme.
He commenced

and he paused. He then said: "Ye see,
I was born in 1889 (the real date was
some years ear]ier) so I max that the
commencement" He then took his pen
in hand, folded his paper with a con-
scious air of authorship, squared himself
to the table, like one who considered it
no trifle even to write a letter. and slow
ly put down, in good round hand, as if
he had been making out a bill of parcels,

but beyond this, after repeated attempts,
he was unable to advance. The second
line was the Rubicon he could not pass.
At last, when Andrew Homer reluctantly
admitted that he was not quite in the
vein, the pen, ink and paper were hand-
ed to his antagonist. By him they were
rejected, for he instantly gave the follow

The History Of Diphtheria.

it .,8}i 60 gr}3Is1 5!E8 ttI
Diphtheria is believed to nave origi-
mated in Egypt, more than two thousand
$1,000 years ago. It prevailed in Egypt
and Asia Minor, to which it extended,
during the first five hundred years, and
hence was early called Egyptian or
Syriac disease.
Having invaded Europe, the disease ap-
peared at Rome A. D. $50; and being
akin to the plague, of which it may be a
remote modification, having had the
same origin, with some similar character
istics, and being like il and malignant
typhus highly contagious, the. disease, in
its fifteen hundred years transit on the
continent of Europe, affected mainly
rural districts and garrisoned towns. 1t
had extended to Holland, in which it was
epidemic in 1887 to Paris, in 1876; and
appeared in America It'll; it having pre-
vailed more extensively in France in 1918
and 1885, and in England and the United
States from 1856 to 1860, and more or
less since.
In our own country it has thus been
more prevalent during the past twenty
one years, from 1856 to 1877; and rural
districts appear to have suffered most
during the early part of this period,
probably on account Of a greater preva-
ience of marsh miasm, which, combined
with the animal, NAV generally, together
with the contagion, produce this disease.
But during the latter part of this period,
the rural districts, having been more
cleared up and drained, diminishing the
amount Of paludal ,poision, and country
people having learned, as we'll as those
in cities, to avoid, to some extent, the
causes liable to generate animal miasms,
our cities, or some of them, appear to have
produced nearly II not quite as MANY
cases of diphtheria as the rural districts
Syracuse. New York. BROOKLYN. Phila-
delphia, Boston. and many New England
and other cities having suffered more or
less from it during, 1876 and 1877. The vi.
tai statistics of Massachusetts for the wear
1876 shows dipbtheria occupies the
second place in the list of fatality, two
thousand six hundred and ten persons
died of the disease during the year in
that state, and only five thousand and
twenty seven of consumption. Whether
this may be an average for other states or
not, it's ravages have been fearful in many
parts of our own and other countries.
In both city and country, more cases
have occurred, other things being equal,
in warm autumal and winter weather in
damp localities, where the air is almost
destitute of ozone, powerful disinfect-
ant, and being saturated with moisture is
in a low or negative electrical STATE, thus
letting down the positive electrical con-

Cyclone in Pitt.

Although only partial reports are at
hand as we write, it appears our Pitt
county friends have suffered from a
terrific tornado, which descended from
the north west course accompanied by
dense clouds Of dust which almost
suifocated man and beast, In some
places, and by an extra ordinary fall
of hail, causing destruction to both
life and property. Numerous frame
houses and all sorts of fencing were
prostrated, the largest trees uprooted.
valuable live stock killed, and great
damage done to the growing corn and
other crops. In Plymouth a Baptist
church was blown down and other
houses damaged. On the large plan
tation Of Colonel Asa Johnson, just
outside of the town, all the negro
quarters, barns, stables and all out
buildings were swept away, and only
the strongest and heaviest portions Of
the stately mansion were left standing.
All that section Of country in the path
Of the tornado suffered similarly.
One correspondent writes from
Greenville -
The track of the storm was down
Grindle Creek. The edge of il passed
south Of the Tar, and only damaged
trees and fences and the growing
crops. But on the north side of the
river, it blew down houses, smashed
buggies, and | have heard Iha. one
colored man was killed. one gentle
man counted 800 trees IN his cotton
and corn. and - across his fences. A
tree broke the roof of one dwelling
house in two. We have not yet heard
all, and We fear We have not heard the
worst. The blades of fodder torn into
shreds, the corn on the ground in the
rain, cattle in the fields through the
broken fences and cotton torn and
twisted, are only part of the damage
done.
