! Ordinances and Resolutions.
By Mr.. Mccartney
| ResOIred That transfers OF claims for SER
vices rendered by the employees of the vari-
GUS departments of the city government, as
| well as Of the Crescent City Police Depart
ment during the present year, be and are
| hereby made receivable out of the amount
| applicable for taxes of 1878 to the general
fund.
Resolred, That all ordinances or parts of
ordinances In conflict herewith be and the
same are hereby repealed.
Mr.. Brown objected to the resolution.
Mr.. Cavanac also objected and called utten-
ton to article 50 of the city charter, which
he said prohibited the diverting Of the funds
Of the government under penalty OF fine or
Imprisonment.
Mr. Mccartney denied that there was any
clause in the charter with which the resolu
ton would conflict. There was large
amount Of taxes due, which il paid into the
treasury would enable the government to pay
its employees who were In sore need just
now-funds If collected would go to the en-
ployees- then what objection could there be
to receiving the transfers of the employees
for taxes of 1878? The adoption of the reso-
luton would cause the value of transfers to
appreciate and thereby we would be spared
the humiliating spectacle Of seeing the police
to whom the city owed two months salary
already applying to the free market for the
food which was sent here for the sick and
destitute.
Mr.. Cavanac read the following from tho
city charter:
SEC. so. BE 1t further enacted etc., That it
shall not be lawful for the Mayor, the Coun-
Gil, or any other officer or employee of the
city to divert Or attempt to divert any
| moneys or credits of any particular or special
fund to any other purpose than that for
which the fund was originally intended. Any
Infringement OF this provision shall be pun
ished by a fine of not less than one thousand
nor more than five thousand dollars, or by
imprisonment OF not less than one nor more
than five years, and dismissal from office.
He stated that the resolution II adopted
would be null and could not be car
red into effect without endangering the
bondsmen of the administrators.
Mr.. Rengstorn stated that he would vote
for the resolution if it could be demonstrated
that it was legal.
Mr.. Mccartney replied that the Council in
1875 passed resolution, similar in it's char
acter by which unredeemed coupons of the
premium bonds were made receivable for
taxes of that year. If the present resolution

To PREVENT THE SPREAD OF TYPHOID
FEvER.--When typhoid fever appears in
a family it often spreads to several men,
bers, and 10 tenement houses, where there
are many families and much filth, the dis
ease may not be eradicated for months.
1t is now pretty certain that the poison
which occasions the spread of the disease
is found only in the discharges from the
bowels. tits exceedingly important there
fore that those discharges be disinfected
by carbolic acid or green copperas, so they
will not effect the air, or the privies or
the cesspools. Great care should be Civ
en- to the bed linen of the patient, and
cleanliness be practieed 1t sometimes
happens that the rains carry off the selu-
tons Of closets and cesspools into the wells
and springs, and thus affect the water aud
spread the fever in many directions IF
our readers will bear in mind these facts
when they have occasion TO practise them
much needless suffering may be prevented
and many lives saved.

HEALING RAW SURFAcEs.-Nearly
year ago, Dr. G. f. Waters, of Boston,
made the discovery that the bicarbonate of
soda, if applied to burned or scalded sur
face, promptly subdued the pain. He
performed somewhat impressive expert
ment, to prove his discovery; he scalded
himself severely, on a space seven CEN
timetres broad, all around his wrist.
The application Of the bicarbonate i'm
mediatcly relieved the pain: and if all
had gone well the burn would have
been cured in a week But the doctor
was careless; and permitted his cuff-but-
tons to catch and tear the blistered skin,
and further trouble of the same sort was
caused by friction on the edge of the cuff
The result was that while the rest of the
burn was soon cured, the part thus torn
became troublesome, suppurating wound
Studying the subject, DR.. Waters thought
that possibly vegetable albumen might an
swer the same purpose that animal albu-
men is supposed to, in the formation of
dermal scales. He proceeded to test this
theory by removing the scab from por-
ton Of the wound, drying the surface with
plotting paper, and then Immediately APP
plying the white juice of the common milk
weed (Asclepsas syriaca.) Space after
space of the sore surface was thus treated,
each portion being allowed to heal success
siyely before the next part was tried Ac-
cording to the depth Of the sore, the time
of healing varied from twenty-fOur to thir-
ty-six hours; but in each instance new
skin formed completely across. The Doc
tor states, as to this new discovery, that
the only essential point is to dry the
wounded surface gently and thoroughly
with blotting paper before applying the
mikweed juice. From the description, it
appears that after the juice was applied,
and while the healing was in progress, a
piece of blotting paper was also used to
cover the surface
