TREATMENT OF DIPHTHERIA

This dread disease is prevalent in
many parts of the State. So far, Trinity
has not a case, although the neighb boring
Counties are all affl ic.ed, and it is liable
to os introduced here at any time. A re-
cent circular issued by the State Board
OF Health gives the following instruc-
tions relative to the treatment and pre-
venton of diphtheria
Upon the appearance Of diphtheria in a
family the precautions usually taken to
prevent communication between the sick
and the well in other contagious and in
fectious diseases should be observed. /.
None but the necessary nurses or attend
ants should have access TO the sick room
and visitors should not be received. The
patients room should be well ventilated; ;
wooden clothes, curtains, and if practicaI,
carpets should be renewed therefrom.
The saliva and expectoratlon of the sick
should be disinfected by placing in the
receiving vessels a solution OF chloride OF
zinc, in the proportion of half an ounce to
a gallon OF water, or the chloralum; a
solution OF permanganate Of potassia, six
teen grains to the ounce.
The clothes removed from the body of
the patient, as well as the bed linen, W hen
changed, should Immediately be dipped
in boiling water, 10 which may be prop
erly added to every gallon one ounce oi
sulphate of zinc (white vitrol, or half an
ounce of chloride Of zinc, or Condy S
fluid (psrmanganato of potassia, sixteen
grains 10 the ounce.
Children should not be perm itted to
attend at the hsuse in case of funerals oi
those dying of the disease.
Cleanliness in and about dwellings
draining off or providing a suita bic re.
ceptacle for the waste water, slops and
other substances accumulating in the
kitchen, the cleaning and dsnfection oil
cesspoos, sewers and privies.
Sulphate of iron (copperss) or chloride
oflime are proper disinfectants. Three
pounds OF tho former to an ordinary
bucketful OF water will commonly suffice
for single disinfection. The chloride oi
lime may be used in the same manner
about one pound ~ a gallon OF water.
In towns which rely upon wells for
drinking and culinary purposes, care
should be taken to avoid their contanin-
alton by contiguous cesspools and other
filth deposits. Lastly, when diphtheria
is suspected in a mem Der Of the fam lily,
send for tho family physician. and under
no circumstances rely upon the various
nostrums or specifics SO often published
in the newspapers, or recon- mended by
kind hearted but ignorant advisers.

canciss in that body caused by death.
For the place made vacant by the death
of the late Governor Haight. it is emin-
emily fit that friend of the deceased
should be selected, one who had his con-
fcence, knew his views, and had SYM
pathy with his purposes. Judge John
MeHenry, resident OF Alameda county,
a Democrat, a supporter OF the Non

Weaverville. September IA, 1878.

ALEX. AUSTIN, a prominent member
of the Big Board of Brokers, and ex- Tax
Collector of San Francisco, committed
suicide at his country residence in San
Matco on "Wednesday last. A San Fran
cisco dispatch of that date says: $50
far as the particulars are learned, it seems
that he got up about 8 O'Clock this morn
ing, went into the stable, and shot him
snlf through the heart with a six. shooter
Numberless rumors are afioat concerning
the condition in which he left his affairs,
and the causes leading to the suicide.
A lstin WAS supposed to have in his pes
session some 100000 of protested taxes,
which has been held by him since his re-
trement from office. He refused to pay
the amount into the city treasury until
the cases pending in the Courts 10 test
the validity of the protested taxes had
been settled. Recently a decision was
rendered under which it became neces.
sary for him to turn over the money
Immediately following this decision the
news WAS bruitod about the city that Aus
tin had attempted suicide at the Occi
dental Hotel. The rumor was denied by
his me iical adviser and friends, who al
legged that he was suffering from al atfsc
tion Of the brain, resulting from the over
upon the recent activity IN the stock mar
krt. Full faith was not accorded this ex-
PLANTATION of his illness, there being quito
general belief that the street version of
the matter was correct. Coupled with
the previous report, and now ginning ad-
ditional credence, are many rumors, the
general tenor of which is that the amounts
due for taxes have been dssipated by
losses in stocks and extravagance in liv-
ing expenses. 1t is held by some that
the funds in question were absorbed in
the Rslston failure. Whatever truth
there may be ia these reports, it is GER
tain that while Austin has always pro-
listed his readiness to turn the money
into the treasury upon decision o. the
suits, he has persisteatly declined to
state where the money was deposited. A
dispatch just received from San Mateo
says that Austin was in bed at the time
he shot himsof. and that no one was a
witness OF the deed"
A later dispatch says it is now definite
ly stated that Alexander Austin s recent
illness Mt the Occidental Hotel was due,
not to natural causes, but to a dose of
strychnine, from the effects of which
prompt medical attention relieved him.
He went to San Matco yesterday. On
the way he lie said 10 have remarked that
his attempt here was failure, but he
thought he could do better In San Matco.

Making Butter in Brazil.

There are four native modes of max
ing butter in the Empire of Brazil.
The first is by putting the milk in a
bowl and beating it with a spoon, as
you would an egg. The second by
pouring the milk into n bottle, and
shaking until the butter appears, when
it is removed by breaking off the top OF
the bottle. The third, where the dairy
is more extensive, is performed by fill
ing n hide with the milk, which is Justify
shaken by an athletic native at each
end until butter is produced. The
fourth, which is considered to indicate
vast progress over any of the proceed
ing methods, consits in dragging the
hide or leather vessel, filled with milk,
on the ground after n %galloping horse
until it is supposed the butter is formed.
The milk is never strained and the but
ter never washed.

"A Wall, o Lsrd, Around Us Build.

1t was a dreary November evening in
the year 1850, the same year in which
the brave and pious King of Sweden,
Gustavus Adolphus, had landed on the
German coast, to help his brethren in
the new faith, the German Protestants,
to defend themselves against the Cath
Ollie legions, who under their leader,
the cruel and heartless Tile, the des-
troyer of Magdeberg, had pressed them
hard and threatened to overwhelmthem.
Twelve long years already had this fear
full religious war ragged throughout
Germany. The soil was soaked with
the blood of the slain; the fields devas-
tated, the towns depopulated, and the
whole country sighed and moaned I'M
der the burdens of The chroni-
Giles of those times are filed with the
sad stories of atrocities and barbarities
committed by the armies on both sides
against the unfortunate inhabitants;
wherever these armies passed they left
a desert behind.
On this November evening there sat
an old woman in q farm house on the
outskirts of a Saxon village. Her son,
q young man of about 20 years, had
just brought home the news of a rumor
that had spread in the village, that a
detachment of the much-feared Span
ISL troops was approaching, and would
probably pass through the village dur
ing the night. Terror and anxiety
reigned. The young man besought his
mother to take refuge in a mountain.
But she demonstrated that they were in
Gods protection and that if he willed
it so they would be saved, and eXhort-
ed him to seek consolation in prayer.
She lighted the lamp, took her prayer
book and began to sing her favorite
hymn, ga wall, o Lord, around us
build" At this the son revolted, tell
ing his mother that by her foolish sing
ing and by the light of her lamp she
would certainly show the enemies the
way to their house and uselessly eX-
pose them. But she persevered and
continued to sing, "a wall, o Lord,
around us build"
The son grew angry, and scolded his
mother. GLOW can the Lord build a
wall around us? Stop that nonsense
mother, the time for miracles is past
1.-THE Lord can, if He so WILL" she
quietly answered, and continued to sing
and pray through the whole long night,
"a wall, o Lord, around us build"
When the morning broke, the son
took courage and went to the door; but
when lie tried to open it he found it
would not give way. a heavy snow
drift had obstructed it and perfectly
buried the house, concealed it from the
enemies, who, during the night, had
passed through the village, carrying
plumber and murder into almost every
house.
And so did the Lord "a wall around
them build. ia Tale of tho Thirty
Years War.

Bottled Bundle Bees,

No man can tell when ii boy of nine
or ten years is going to break out in Il
new spot. a Cass farm lad, who has
been noted for his quiet demcanor and
steady ways, all at once took Il notion
to hunt bumble-bees. lie armed him.
self with IA wide-mouthed bottle and
tramped over lots and fields and en-
trapped many q luckless singer. After
securing them he had no further pleas
ure except to see them crawl up and
down the sides of the bottle and wllack
their stingers into each other. lie was
out early the other morning, gathering
in the bees Willie they were benumbed,
and when he entered the house for
breakfast lie had about thirty great,
overgrown, wicked looking humble
bees. They were packed into the bot
tie, heads and tails and other ways, and
the father, catching sight of them,
spoke up:
"See here, boy, | don't want any
more of this fooling around after bees.
After breakfast you heave that bottle
out Of doors, and don't bring another
bee around this house."
The boy placed the bottle behind the
dining room stove. There was a gentle
hre, II the bottle had no cork. The
Family had got through the first cup of
coffee, when they heard something
going"
g-g"
The fire warmed the bees up and
they left the bottle to warm the family
up. 1t was Il business affair, and the
bees went in to do their best. The bow
slid ont at the first alarm, but the old
folks hourished their napkins until
sliding out would have been no good.
The old gentleman got a sting on his
left ear and another on his head at the
same second, while the old lady was
punetured in the shoulder, and yelled
murder" with all her might.
"Maul-manl 'em ~ shouted the old
gentleman, waving the butter dish
