A Large Loss to the Revenue.

Aspecial despatch from Washington
says:
From the day that the Southern
Democrats gained the ascendancy in
Congress they endeavored to have the
tax upon tobacco and all distinctivsly
Southern productions reduced. Gener
al Raum, Commissioner OF Internal
Revenue, insisted that if the Southern
plan should be carried out, there would
be loss of 81, 900, 900 to the revenue
annually. His predictions will be ver-
fled. The law went into effect July l..
The returns for that month have just
been tabulated. They show that the
actual loss to the Government in July
trom the reduction of the tax upon TO-.
bacco is $3.50, ,s77; that it is more than
three quarters of million for one
month; and if it should continue, as in
the ordinary course Of events it will
continue, uniformly Throughout: the
fiscal year, General Raun's prediction
of a loss of 50 600, 900 to the revenue
will be verified. Meanwhile the Dem
ocratic Congress has been rapidly in
creasing the expenditures and should
there be similar rate ofincrease at the
next session, deficit would be inevit.

New Medical Theory.

A Minnesota man writes to the Salem
MASS Gazette" as follows: "a dis
covery in the treatment of diptheria
has been made here. A young man,
whose arm had been amputated, was
attacked with diptheria before healing
took place; and instead of the matter
incident to that disease being deposited
in the throat, the greater portion ap-
pearpd on the wounded arm, and the
diphtheria was very light and easily
managed. His doctor profted by this,
and in his next case OF diptheria blis.
tered his patients chest, and on this
blistered part the chief deposits ap-
peared. This was also an easy case of
the disease. The theory of the doctor
is that diptheria usually attacks the
throat because of the thinness of the
lining Of the throat. Hence, when the
blister breaks the skin upon any other
part of the body, the disease appears
