DIPHTHERIA.

The following paragraphs are from an
article in the Springfield Republican, on
the nature and treatment of diphtheria
Diphtheria is disease which springs
from the growth of real fungus on
some of the mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn. more generally of the throat. 1t
may spread by contact of the mucuous
surfaces of a diseased with those of a
healthy person, as in kissing, and is, to
limited degree, epidemic.
From the local parts affected it
spreads to the whole body, affecting the
muscular and nervous systems, vitiating
the lymph and nutrient fluids, and pro-
ducing paralysis.
AS soon as the bacterium or fungus
appears in white patches on the throat,
it should no more be neglected than a
bleeding cash or broken arm, and there
is almost as little need of fatal termi-
nation of one incident as of the other.
1t has been found by actual expert
ment, both in and out of the human sys-
tenn, that this bacterium is killed by
several drugs, the safest and most GER
tain of which is chlorine water, diluted
with the addition of from two to four
times the volume of water.
This wash is harmless, even when
swallowed, and is pretty certain to ar
rest the disease. A well known physi-
clan in Springfield, who has pursued
this treatment for fifteen years. has

To keep the patient well housed and
warm, with additional flannel clothing
if necessary, and to keep the system
we'll nourished and the bowels open, are
matters of nursing ofted neglected I; but
with care in these respects and early ap
plicatlon of the remedies above suggest
ed, there is no need of the disease pro
ceeding to fatal termination, or ever
to the debilitating illness and painful
cauterizations which go together in it
later stages.

The mode of hunting which generally
prevails is that of still-hunting, or creep

MOOSE-HUNTING.

There are three modes of hunting the
moose, termed still-hunting, fre-hunt-

with the Indian, and is practiced from
his early childhood. 1t is not uncom-
mon to find little Indian boys in the
forest several miles from the wigwam,

Soeotoma was very expert shot, and

PLATFORM AND RESOLUTIONS OF THE CITIZENS
PARTY OF ORMSBY COUNTY.
We, the citizens of Ormsby County, adopt
the following as the platform on which with
out distinction of party, we propose to make
the ensuing canvass.
1st.-We are opposed to any repeal, mod
tication or change of the law taxing the not
proceeds of the mines.
2nd-We arraign the transcontinental
railroads for their unj ust and oppressive dis
ordinations in the matter of freights and
fares to and between points in this State, and
we demand prompt legislation by Congress
and the State Legislature for the correction of
those abuses.
3rd.-That the General Government should
Immediately take such steps as to absolutely
stop the further immigration of Asiatics to our
country; and that such Just and peaceful
measures should be adopted as may be appro
pirate and necessary to induce those already
among us to quit our shores at the earliest
practical moment.
4th.-We repudiate and denounce the doe
trine that any public officer may disregard and
ignore the pledges made to his constituents
and on the faith of which he was elected; and
declare that if such practice be tolel rated, it
will result III the destruction of representative
democratic government; and we declare that
no power exists which can relieve officials from
pledges made to the people previous to their
election.
h-That we view with alarm the increas-
ing and unceasing attempts of the moneyed
powers of the Pacific States to control the cleo
tions and shape the legislation of said States,
that the principle and practice are fraught
with danger to our Republican government,
and should be frowned down and resisted by
every individual who has at heart the welfare
of American institutions and the freedom of
the masses
9th Resided, That the stock brokerage
business should be regulated by law and the
security of the people be protected by proper
legislative enactment

Washington, November 1.-The scheme
for the transportation of coin in the third
class mail matter, which was made the subject
of discussion at two Cabinet meetings, and
which attracted the attention of the press and
public generally about two months ago, is
such theoretically, but practically it seems not
to amount to much. Only two efforts have
been made to test the praticability of the
plan. In one instance 81 900, 900 in gold
coin, put up in fourpound packages, was sent
third-class matter from San Francisco to
the East and on another occasion a smaller
amount was transported a shorter distance
No disposition har been manifested by private
citizens to take advantage of the plan
Probably it will never be popularized The
PostothCe Department can not afford to put
on the necessary guards, except when the
Treasury Department has large quantities of
gold to transport. Silver has never been sent
by mail, as the cost would be about equal to
express charges, while the Postoffice Depart
ment is not responsible for losses.

Mems Manners.

Men succeed in their profession quite as
much by complaisance and kindness of man
ners as by talent. Demosthenes, in giving
his well known advice to an orator-that
eloquence consisted in three things the first
"action," second "action," and third "ac-
tion lis supposed to have intended manner
only. telling preacher in his opening re-
marks gains the good will of his hearers,
and makes them feel both that he has some
thing TO say and that he can say it--by his
manner. The successful medical man, on
entering sick room, inspires his patients
belief in himself, and that hope which is so
favorable to longevity-by his manner.
Considering that jurymen are scarcely per-
sonfications unmixed with passion or pref
udice, barrister cannot afford TO neglect
manner if he would bring twelve men, one
after another to his way of thinking. Again,
has the business man any stock-in-trade that
pays him better than good address Aud
as regards the "survval of the fittest" in

" natural selection when the old motto,
Manners maketh man." decides the con-
test At least Wilkes, the best hammered
but ugliest man of his day, thought so. "I
am" he said "the uglest man in the three
kingdoms but if you give me quarter of
an hours start, will gain the love of any
woman before the handsomest." If kindli-
ness of disposition be the essence of good
manners, our subject is seen at once to shade
off the great one of Christianity itself. 1t
is the heart that makes both the true gentle
man and the great theologian. The Apostle
Paul-see speech delivered on Mars Hill
always endeavored to conciliate his audience
when he commenced addressing them. And
his letters as well as those of his fellow
apostles, are full of sympathy and consider

Employment for Women.

The subject of the employment Of women
is as vital to the rich as to the poor. Mr..
Emerson's remark with regard to the regu-
lation of the body holds equally for the
soul-he who is rich, and would be well, let
him live as if he were poor. We talk of the
lazy poor because they are burden to the
community are not the lazy rich, after all,
the rottenness at the core Every woman,
from the Queen on the throne to the little
Pippa who passes every day to the filature,
has her work to do, and is responsible for
the due performance of it. All service ranks
the same with God. All are servants equally
in his sight" What picture would the
life of the average woman of Fifth Avenue
or Beacon street present to us if we should
lay it down without exaggeration on paper
Her schooldays over, it is her habit to walk
into the breakfast-room at nine o'clock, just
from her bed her front hair twisted over
pins or bits of silk. She lounges, reading
the newspaper, chatting with others as pur-
poseless as herself, warming her feet or gaz-
ing out of the window, until eleven then
she retires to arrange her toilet for the even
ing, perhaps to examine clean clothes from
the wash, or perform some other household
duty-duties not to be omitted, but which
the economical woman Zone who has learned
the value of time) would have completed
before the day began; then she dresses for
afternoon calls, aud list in hand, descends to
the lunch table. Here nearly another hour
fades away before she begins her afternoon
round, fitting from house to house, cheer
fully chatting of the Shaughraun, Nilsson,
Kellogg-of everything, in short, which con-
Germs the shows of life but careful as one
walking over pitfalls to avoid every subject
of vital interest either TO herself or others.
Then, the visits or drive ended, she hurries
home in season to dress for dinner, and go
somewhere afterward, as if to exhaust to the
last drop her own vital strength and the
hours of the day. This little record is not
overdrawn. With certain notifications, this
is the substance of the life of wives and
daughters of well-to-do merchants in our
cities. These days are varied by certain
mornings given to music, and others to
painting. But how small the average of
those who achieve anything worth doing
A man to be a painter must not paint with
half his mind. The same law holds good
of the woman. Let every woman apply to
her own life the doctrine of selection. The
man is bred to do this. What is your son
going to be 4? parents are asked, aud boys
in the public school comfide to each other
the profession of their choice, No one asks
the girl what is to be her employment, what
she is preparing for. The days of her pleas
ant school life glide by one after another;
frequently no accurate scholarship has been
required of her; and when the routine stops,
she is without rudder and without aim
