THE BUSHRANGERS.

My story has one great merit it is
true. A simple narration, therefore, of
the following authentic events in con-
nectlon with two notorious Australian
bushrangers, Pearson and Rutherford,
may be read with some interest.
The scoundrels had short and not
very brilliant career, but the details
which l learned from eye witnesses, the
facts that came out in the police court,
where | had the painful duty to sit as
one OF tile committing magistrates in the
case OF one of them, and the subsequent
awful fate of the other, together make
up a record of crime not unworthy Of
reproduction and should this story
reach the eyes of any of those who were
concerned in it, they will pardon me for
adhering so scrupulously to the bare
facts and incidents that have not even
suppressed their names.
During tie terrible drought in De-
cember, 1868, OF which Australian
"squatters will have lively but bitter
recollection, so great were my straits,
that had directed two of my overseers,
James McNall and Harry Couch, to
brand and prepare some twenty thou
sand sheep "for the road," to travel in
search of grass and water, now getting
very scarce in my own country. The
drafting yards were at "Con's Hut" an
out-station about seventy miles from
Fort Bourke. Half mile up the War
rego river from this place was bush
public house, kept by one William
Shearer, fifteen miles further my Belalie
head station. For many miles no other
human habitation broke the dreary
monotony of what is termed in Australia
The Bush, but what in reality con-
sists of a succession of bare and parched
plains, intersected at long intervals by
narrow belts of timber or occasional
pine ridges. Suddenly the men were
disturbed in their work, as they after
ward told me, by the sound of several
shots fired almost simultaneously in the
direction OF the public house. To catch
their hobbled horses, saddle them, and
gallop off to see "what was up at Billy
Shearer's was the work of O very few
minutes.
Now what did happen " at Shearer's ,
l will describe by giving, as near at
memory will serve me, the substance o.
his evidence at the trial. He STATED
that about noon on this December day
he was standing behind his counter il
the bar, small room about ten fee
square, when party of men, consisting
of Sergeant McCabe, Of the New Soutl
Wales mounted police, McManus,
trooper of the Queensland force, ant
their black boy, the native tracker,
rode up, and having alighted, inquired
if anything had been heard of tw,

The Frightful Leather Disease.

"Do you know anything of diph-
liberia ?" writes Oliver Logan, from Lon
don. "Let me hope you do not 1t made
its first appearance only few years ago
at Boulogne, the favorite French water
ing place, and for some time went by the
name of Boulogne sore throat.
"Its special feature, and its most in
furious and dangerous one, is the exu-
dition from the in6amed parts of Shiny
substance which becomes at once thick
and leathery, like cutting of chamois
leather; hence, diphtheria, i. e., the
leather disease. Strangulation is the
always-imminent danger; but it is said
that sulphurous (not sulphuric) acid, if
constantly applied, both as an inhala-
ton and as spray, is certain specific
if taken in time. This acid is a germ
destroyer, and great success has attend
ed its use in diphtheritic cases in Eng
land.
"How came the grand ducal family
of Hesse to be attacked by diphtheria ?
You have heard the theory of the Ger
man doctors as to how it was propagat-
ed among the members of the ruling
family-mother, husband and children ?
By kissing one another. In any case of
sore throat kissing should never be in
dulged in, whatever the sacrifice to the
feelings. But how did it generate? ?
Undoubtedly by the miasma of obnox-
ious drains which underlie the old me-
dieval palace of Darmstadt, where the
grand ducal family have preferred to
live rather than in the modern and new
residence which has recently been built
for them.
"Beware Of foul drains. Every family
in every house should look into the state
of the drainage at least once a year.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1879-01-17

by kissing or otherwise was dangerous
and should be avoided, the doctor re-
piled, "Most assuredly the disease
might be communicated by a mother
kissing her child who has either scarlet
fever or diphtheria.
eff diphtheria complicates a case of
scarlet fever, does this necessarily make
the case fatal ?"
cit is severe complication, but by
no means necessarily fatal, as I've often
known cases to recover in which both
diseases existed. Last winter a young
girl of fourteen had diphtheria. After
the diphtheria was palpably subsiding
the child continued to have a very high
temperature, leading to the suspicion
that some other poison was disturbing
t. g system. Suddenly a very intense
form of scarlet fever was manifested.
The child was extremely i'll for several
days, and then, during desquamation,
the diphtheria again appeared. But
this young girl perfectly recovered.
Diphtheria, therefore, while causing
grave apprehension, should not be re-
garded as necessarily terminating fatal
ly. A child sick with scarlet fever in q
house which is exposed to sewage gas,
or in which there is defective plumbing,
would be likely to have the disease
complicated with diphtheria."
"Does the term scarlatina mean q
mild form of scarlet fever2"
"No; the two forms are precisely
Identical"
els scarlet fever always fatal dis
ease in women Just after confinement ?"
cit is not; but after confement
sometimes women are very susceptible
to the poison. 1 have always heard
physicians loosely say that under these
circumstances the women always die,
but this / know to be far from the truth.
A woman with an infant just born was
some years ago brought into one of my
wards in Bellevue hospital. The next
day scarlet fever appeared in her case.
Immediately had all the patients in the
ward removed and took every precaution
to prevent the spread of the disease.
This patient, whose system was COM
pletely broken down by want and ex-
posure, died within twelve hours after
the appearance of the eruption. Three
other women who we're in the ward
when she was brought in, and who had
recently been confined, were attacked
with the disease on the third and fourth
days after exposure. Two of these re-
covered. 1t is sing gular fact that neith-
er the baby of the first woman nor any
of the sixty or more in the hospital had
the disease. In private practice I have
seen few cases of scarlet fever in women
who had recently been confined, but
majority of these have recovered.

Caleb Cushing,

He knew everything in the encyclo-
pedis, and could talk about it, always
quoting authorities. He once talked
four hours with stranger, who in his
hearing said that believed in phrenolo-
ey. Once the publishers of the first
edition of Webster's Dictionary sent
him from Springfield a presentation
copy, requesting in return a critical
notice. Gushing, having plenty OF leis-
ure time, glanced at the first page and
found numerous mistakes ; he read the
second page and found as many more.
He read the entire book, and wrote to
the publishers that if they expected that
he was going to write complimentary
notice of book with 5000 errors in it
they were mistaken. The publishers Of
course found fault with his extraordinary
statement, and wrote back to the effect
that if he would prove this to the salts
faction of Professor Porter, of Harvard,
the editor of the dictionary, they would
believe him. Angry at this imputation,
he read the gigantic book over again,
and wrote out the 5000 mistakes and
mailed them to Professor Porter. Mr..
Cushing leaves no direct heirs. His
property in Newburyport is estimated
to be worth $50, 900. Besides this, he
owns large tracts of land at St. An
thongs falls, lin Virginia, and other
places. His total wealth is variously
estimated at from $500, 900 to $500, 600.

Papa's Letter.


l was sitting in my study,
Writing letters, when heard,
"Pease, dear mamma, Mary told me
Mamma mustn't be 'isturbed.
"But rs tired of the kitty;
Want some ozzer fng to do,
Writing letters, is 'ou, mamma?
Tan't write letter, too7"
"Not now, darling, mammals busy;
Run and play with kitty now."
"No, no, mamma, me write letters
Tan il 'ou will thow me how"
would paint my darling's portrait,
As his sweet eyes searched my face
Hair Of gold and eyes of azure,
Form Of childish, witching grace.
But the eager face was clouded,
AS slowly shook my head,
Till said, "I'll make letter
OF you, darling boy, instead"
So parted back the tresses
From his forehead high and white,
And stamp in sport pasted
Mid its waves Of golden light.
Then said, "Now, little letter,
Go away and bear good news !"
And smiled as down the staircase
Clattered loud the little shoes.
Leaving me, the darling hurried
Down to Mary in his glee;
Mammals writing lots of letters
rs letter, Mary-see ~
No one heard the little prsttler
As once more he climbed the stair,
Reached the little cap and tippet,
Standing on the entry stair
No one heard the front door open,
No one saw the golden hair
e, As it floated o'er his shoulders
In the crisp October air.
Down the street the baby hastened,
Till he reached the Office door,
"Ts letter, Mr. Postman;
Is there room for any more ?"
"'Cause dis letters doin' to papa
Papa lives with God, 'ou know,
Mamma sent me for letter
Does 'ou fink at tan go2"
But the clerk in wonder answered.
"Not to-day, my little man."
Den I'll find anozzer Office;
Cause must 60 if tan"
Fain the clerk would have detained him,
But the pleading face was gone,
And the little feet were Fastening,
By the busy crowd swept on,
Suddenly the crowd was parted,
People fled to left and right,
As pair of maddened horses
At this moment dashed in sight.
No one saw the baby figure
No one saw the golden hair,
Till voice Of frightened sweetness
Rang out on the autumn air.
Twas too late-a moment only
Stood the beauteous vision there;
Then the little face lay lifeless,
Covered DER with golden hair
Reverently they raised my darling,
Brushed away the curls of gold,
Saw the stamp upon the forehead,
Growing now 80 icy cold.
Not mark the face disfgured,
Showing where the foot had trod;
But the little life was ended
Papa's letter" was with God.
