HOW DIPHTHERIA WAS SPREAD.
(St. Albans (vt.) Messenger ]

lSt. Albans tvt.) Messenger
A few weeks ago a little girl in St.
Adams. who had just recovered from
diphtheria. was taken by her parents to
visit family in a neighboring town
She slept with the children in that fami-
ly, and shortly afterwards three or four
OF them were taken with the malady.
and some have since died. The father
permitted relatives and friends to visit
them, and the result is several cases in
the neighborhood. They had public
funerals, even keeping the remains oil
one child an unusual time. waiting tor
the other one to die. so as to bury them
together and this also spread the con-
tagion. The physician was not power
fully impressed-as some physicians
are not-with the contagious character
of the disease; therefore he did not
take the necessary precautions tor the
protection OF the neighborhood or OF
his own family. and the result is that
one of his own children has died and
the other is seriously i'll. A lady who
went to one OF the houses to robe the
victims for the grave has called at the
houses in the vicinity where there are
children, without any change OF her gar
ments or any attempt at distinction
and has fondled the children in these
families, apparently in utter ignorance
of tn" danger to which she was expos
ing them.

THE WILD GEESE.
Immense Flock of Them Wending
south.

(From the St. Louis Republican, DeS. 7rh.
An immense flock of the Canadian or
wild goose was seen flying over the city
yesterday afternoon from the nor,hward.
They were vending their flight in a
southeast direction, evidently following
the direction of the wind. They were
in such unccunted numbers that their
flight over the city lasted about an hour
and half--irom 8 to 4-3U p. M, and
they were watched by hundreds OF peo-
Pile The advanced guard. headed by
their leaders, moved in the shape OF =
wedge. the sharp point forward, but
those following in the rear seemed badly
demoralized, and the movement was
much scattered. They flew over at y
great height, looking more like strag-
Cling flock OF hilarious crows. and some
say they resemble more the black brant,
smaller variety than the wild goose.
| The migration southwark OF these fiocks
at SO late a season is an indication that
they have fingered longer than usual in
their northern haunts on account OF the
mild weather, and only started on their
southern trip when warned by the hard
frosts that the lakes and streams will
soon be frozen over. They spend the
winter in the warm regions OF the south

THE PLACE FOR REDRESS.
ISt. Louis Evening Post !

There abides in the republican breast
a faint hope that the party OF sectional
hate and Capitalization may succeed in
1880. through a systematic firing of the
northern heart and the dIsatfection in
democratic ranks occasioned by the
finance question. 1t is only through the
latter that its ascendancy by q plurality
can be accomplished; and if those dem
ccrats who switch of after vain theorists
and political adventures in an insane
desire to relieve the monetary distress
of the country, do not wish to see the
country remanded back to the party tha,
is responsible tor all the ills from which
they seek relIei. let them return to the
old fold. The democratic party is the
only medium through which redress ii
all that affects the material interests o
the states may be attained

AN ENGLISH CRISIS.
What II Noted Pork Packer Thinks
OF the Financial status OF
Great Britain.

Especial Correspondence of the Enquirer.1
NEW YORK. Dec. 12:-Iesterday
had long talk with MIR. Armour, of
Armour. Piankington & Co.. the largest
pork and provision dealers in the United
States. Mir. Armour has Just returned
from England, and he is filled with
alarm at the distressing financial status
OF Great Britain.
What is the matter over there ?"
asked.
"a general financial ruin stares them
in the face all over England. Ireland and
Scotland SAID Mr.. Armour. Banks
and individuals are failing everywhere.
The newspapers do not tell half the
story. The English people are in a
dreadful condition. Manufacturers are
running behind. the tenants cannot pay
their rent, real estate has shrunk in
value and cannot be sold at any price,
the mechanic is idle, and the farmer is
poor.
Why can't the farmers pay their
rents? ?"
"Because their crops do not pay
Prices for farm products are so low
that the farmer only makes enough to
i've on. The 100000 land owners are
out in the cold They cannot collect
| their rents nor sell their land. and many
seemingly rich families are actually sui,
tering from poverty.
What makes provisions SO low?"
| The splendid crops made on thl:
side. The fact is, the United States
having no large army to take away
the laboring men, is making more pro-
visions than the whole world can eat
We are putting wheat in Liverpool a

Now, how can the English farmer stant
this? He pays rental on land wortt
5000 to $500 an acre The lowest farm
lands rent for $40 an acre per annum
The average yield OF whea, is thirteel
bushels to the acre, worth-say $l3
Now, how can that farmer pay his rent
Then they used to sell their pork tor l;
cents per pound: and how can they sci
it at 81 cents and live!'
Then cheap American provisions ar
running the English farmers 2"
Yes. They are bucking their $50
land against our $50 land. and the re
suit is the $500 land is tumbling. Th
shrinkage is awful already. They ar
just going through what We have gon
through, or rather they are fixed as W

''They have no remedy. They are

"What do you think will be the end
