Bismarck and Andrassy.

LoNDoN,Sep 90 "A dispatch from
Vienna says Andrassy met Bismarck
at the railway station and accompa-
MED him to his hotel. A crowd had
been assembled there some hours
awaiting the arrival Of the German
Chancellor and received him with
cheers. The Austrian press gave
Bismarck hearty welcome, not only
as a great statesman but as a warm
friend of Austria.
A Berlin correspondent reports the
German newspapers without excep-
ton hail the visit as the surest guar
antee of European peace. The semi
official Nor.h German Gazette ex.
plains that Austro. Hungary will find
this understanding between the two
powers to be the best safeguard
against Panslavism. Germany has
in it rear guard against coalitions
for revenge on Europe as an assur
ance of peace.
The National Zeitung expresses
implicit confidence in Bismarck's for.
eign policy, and points out the pro-
priety and necessity of the Austrian
alliance, and likens the occupation OF
Bosnia and Herzegovina to the an.
nexation of Alsace-L Lorraine. Dis.
cussions OF the new alliance occupy
the journals to the exclusion of other
topics.

Mr.. CHAs. l.. HARPER's re-nomi-
nation for the Office OF County Su.
perintendent was a matter of course.
lie has held the Office for the past
two years and the county never had
more popular Superintendent. His
popularity is, moreover, the result of
energetic and judicicus attention TO
the duties of his Office He has
given it his whole attention and no
corner where his services have been
needed has been neglected In one
respect he has pursued a different
course from most Superintendent.
Instead of spending his time in the
high and graded schools where
teachers are supposed to be at least
as competent in an educational sense
as any county Superintendent and
where visits would be regarded as
mere pastlme, he has made frequent
visits to the small and retired schools
where his help was most needed. The
people appreciate this fact; our at
tention has been frequently called to
it by the people whose interests have
been thus cared for, and they will in
turn remember Mr.. Harper on elec.
ton day.

IN CASE OF DEATH

the funeral should be conducted with
little publicity and without exposure
of the body, which should .rly be
placed in tight coffin with some oi
the disinfeetants above mentioned.
In no case should children be permitted
to attend such funerals. The neglect
of these precautions is known to have
been the cause of the death OF many
persons, in this State and elsewhere.
SUBSEQUENT CARE OF THE PREMISES
Rooms from which patients who
have had Diphtheria have been re.
moved should be thoroughly disin-
fected by fumigetion, and il there has
been any special malignancy Of the
disease, all paper hangings should be
removed from walls covered there
with; all other walls and all ceilings
should be freshly whitewashed, and
the woodwork and floors be thor
oughly scrubbed.
Sulphurous acid gas. or the fumes Of burns
ing sulphur, is an efficient, convenient and
inexpensive dsinfectant. Two pounds Of
sulphur will suffice for a room twelve feet
square and ten feet high. II needs but to be
burned in the room by putting it, in powder
or small fragments, on live Goals, in a safe
vessel all doors, windows, and other aper-
lures should be tightly closed during the
burning of the sulphur, and for several hours
afterward, and the room should then receive
free and prolonged ventilation.
GENERAL PREVENTATIVE MEASURES.
Finally, while isolation and disin-
lection should be thoroughly and
persistent in the presence and for the
restriction of Diphtheria or other
dangerous and contagious disease, it
should be remembered that no care
to isolate patients or to disinfect
premises already contaminated can
atone for the neglect of those precau-
tons which all experience has dem
onstrated to be capable of mitigating
the violence of, if not wholly prevent.
ing, contagious disease ofevery kind.
Cleanliness and purity of AR are
the deadly foes of all contogion. Pure
air pure soater and pure soil are cS
sential conditions of heahhful life, and
the surest safeguards against disease.
Secure dryness for every part of
your dwelling by thorough drainage;
secure cleanliness for every part Of
your premises by careful removal OF
all decomposing animal or vegetable
matter, by allowing no garbage heap
or cess-pool to remain near the house,
and by frequently cleansing and dis.
injecting the privy, the contents OF
which may at all times be kept en-
tirely inoffensive by the plentiful use
OF dry earth or coal ashes. In short,
let there be nothing left to pollute
the atmosphere or poison the water
supply. Let the sun and air have
free access to the house, and especi-
ally to the sleeping rooms. Secure
proper and well-prepared food, and
comfortable clothing, and "the pesti-
lence that walketh in darkness" and
revels in filth will pass you by seek.

doctrine, it says:
1t is to be regretted, we think, that Mr..
Davis touched upon this particular political
topic Of State rights. This topic has agitated
this country for thirty years, and no man in
this section of the Union can say This agita-
ton has resulted in any good to any Southern
State. As far as our observation goes, the
national Government is not preparing to as
sault any State, North or South. and we are
firmly convinced the South can let this ques !.
ton rest to the advancement Of her interests.
So long as the United States does not in
fringe more upon the rights Of States than it
is doing at present we need not feel called
upon to assert that there is an antagonism
between the central Government and the diff
ferent States
The Vicksburg Herald is the only
Democratic paper in the South that
dares talk in that way. But if you
should deprive the Democratic party
OF its "State-rights" doctrine, you
would destroy its only remaining
nest-egg in the shape of pretended
national" principles. Take that
away, and the rutiied old hen would
have nothing to sit upon but the bare

For, remember, boys make men.
Have you never seen grandsire,
With bis eyes aglow with joy.
Bring to mind some act of kindness
Something said to him, boy,
Or. relate some slight or GOODNESS,
With brow all clouded, when
He recalled some heart too thoughtless

They avoid the household, when
