The New York Board of Health ascribes
the prevalence of diptheria in that city to
defective plumbing or drainage. But even
where the houses are properly drained and
ventilated, says the report, the careless
habits of many families are the easily
avoidable causes of much sickness. Kitch-
en- sinks and wash basins are neglected;
the sinks become clogged with grease, and
it is just as bad to have dirty water stand
in the trap as it is to have it stand in the
basin itself. All kinds of drainage OBJ
struction should be carefully guarded
against. Not only let out the dirty water
from bath-tub or wash-basin, but always
let clean water run through the drain-pipe
for little while, long enough to force the
dirty water out of the trap and to fill it
with clean water. These suggestions are
well worth attention, now that the season
when this terrible scourge is likely to visit
any family where neglect or carelessness
invites its appearance.

The Silver Dollar.

We are of the opinion that Congress
should not make any material alteration IN
the laws regulating our finances, and this
opinion obtains throughout the country
generally. The government has resolved
to resume specie payments, or rather to
redeem its notes in specie, on January
first, and tho banks of the country have
agreed to aid the government in its un-
dertaking. There seems to be no obsta-
Gle in the way to redemption, and no leg
islation is necessary concerning the cur
rency, except the silver dollar. We have
now two silver dollars, one of 4123 grains
weight and the other of 42O. The former
is termed the STANDARD dollar" and is
receivable for all public dues and is legal
tender. The latter, though intrinsically
more valuable, is called the "trade dollar,
but is not legal tender and was original
ly designed for foreign trade, especially
with China. The trade dollar, however,
has gotten abroad in this country, and by
reason of it not being legal tender, has
deprecated below the standard dollar, and
it has been a source of considerable an
noyance to the people. Its value is not
generally known, and holders of them have
often had to submit to discount of ten
per cent. in paying debts with them. This
inequality in the silver dollars Congress
should remedy, and the best plan, it seems
to us, would be for the government to re-
tire them and to issue in their stead only
the standard dollar of 4124 grains.

Report says that Miss Coffty was
one Of the most modest and sweet
tempered young women in Law
renee, Kan and that Mr.. Leeper
was a worthless, bullying fellow;
yet, when they married, it " as his
parents that objected to the union.
He lived with her only two weeks,
and then it was mutually agreed
that they should separate. The
bride assented quietly, saying that
she was pleased to be- rid of her
husband. He subsequently spoke
disrespectfully about her to his
friends. One evening he stood
jauntiiy in the door of the postoffice

In Naples recently every one has
been on the lookout for a great
eruption, and Prof. Palmier has
been SO tormented by kilograms
asking for Information, that he has
at length issued bill of health for
the mountain. The new mouth
which opened at the bottom of the
crater in 1872 has been active since
December, 1875. On May 2, 1878,
it gave indications of increased
activity, but what this partial
eruption will result in cannot
be foretold. A long time, how
ever, must elapse before the lava
will roll down the sides of the cone,
as the cavity of the crater is far
from being full. But should the
cone be opened internally by some
extraordinary eruptive force, the
lava will pour out in deluge. The
fire cannot now be seen from Ma
pies, as it is at the bottom of the
crater, and only it's rejection is
visible on the smoke.
