lots, Mrs. "a. - Stewart, the LoriIlards, the
Schemerhorns, the Lenoxes, Robert j. Liv-
ingston and Frederic Stevens, who is the
youngest millionaire on the list, and who oc-
cupies, on the corner of Fifty seventh street
and Fifth avenue, the finest private residence
in the city. 1t is singular fact that of all
the gentlemen We have named who, together
represent certainly between 800, OOO,-
0co and $15o,000,00o of real estate,
not one concerns himself personally
about municipal affairs. This reflection
addresses itself with peculiar force, not only
to milIionaires, but to our moderately we'll
TODD classes, and to all those who own prop
erty in the city. If sharp remedy is not
quickly applied to the present uselessly and
criminally extravagant modes of municipal
government, the profession of lnilIionaires
will soon become extinct, and the preserva-
ton of accumulated wealth at this centre
can be classed among the lost arts.

Diphtheria and it's Treatment,

From the Springfield (Ma s. Republican.
Diputneria is disease which springs
from The growth of real fungus on some
Of the mucous surfaces of the system,
more generally of the throat. 1t may he
spread by contact of the mucous surfaces
of healthy person, as in kissing, and is
to limited degree epidemi:. From the
local parts affected it spreads to the
whole body, affecting the muscular and
nervous systems, vitiating the lymph and
nutrient fluids, and producing paralysis.
As soon as the bac,erilm or fungus ap-
pears in white patches on the throat, it
should no more be neglected than bleed
ing cash or broken arm, and there is
almost as little need of fatal termina-
ton of one incident as of the other. It
mas been found by actual experiment,
both in and out of the human system,
that this bacterium is killed by several
drugs, the safest and most certain 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 arrest the disease.
The great cyclopsedia Of Zlemessen, on
the practice OF medicine, gives the high
est place to this method of treatment.
To keep the patient we'll housed and
warm, with additional flannel clothing
ii necessary, and to keep the system we'll

tiers of nursing often neglected.; but, with
care in these respects and early applica-
tons of the remedies above suggested,
there is no need of the disease producing
fatal termination. Or even the debilits-
ting illness and painful authorizations

to the origin of diphtheria, the weight of
testimony is that it belongs to the class
OF filth diseases, but further than that its
source is no. clear. Families which
would be scandalized at the suggestion
OF untidiness are attacked, while others
OF filthy surroundings escape. This sim
ply shows that our sense of cleanliness
needs cultivation, SO that we may dis
eliminate between what is offensive to
the system and what is offensive to our
falsely educated tastes. The farmers

Apropos OF the Sprague-Conkling
scandal, the writer knew n gentleman
in Dubuque, a prominent merchant
there, who was an intimate personal
friend Of salmon p. Chase, when the
latter was governor CT Ohio. One
night at a late hour the governor called
on this gentleman, and said that he had
a great favor to ask of him. 81 wish
you' he said, ''to get ready and take
the early morning train for the east, in
company with my two daughters, who
are going away, for l am determined to
break up this intimacy between Kate
and Mr.. Blank lnaming a Cincinnati
merchant), or else a shameful scandal
viii be set afloat; and If Blank appears
on the way, don't you let him come
near Them" The wife and friends of
the merchant were then getting excited
over the intimacy of the couple in ques-
ton. The gentleman did as the COVER
nor requested-met the young ladies as
II there a been no arrangement at
all, and became their chaperon for the
journey. The next day as the train
was rolling mp to the station ut Dun
kirk, New York, the gentleman saw
the dreaded Blank on the depot plat
form. If Kate Chase saw him she gave
no evidence of it. When the train
stopped the gentleman went out to the
fellow, called him one side, and told
him that IL he came near either of those
young ladies he would whip him within
an inch Of his life; and he stayed at the
side OF the man until the last car was
rolling past, when he jumped on and
left the scamp standing IN the plat
form. The "Ckase girls'' visited rela-
tives in Lockport, New York, where
the gentleman babe them goodbye,
and remained in that place and vicinity
several weeks, while the friend of their
father returned to Columbus. The
Cincinnatian never renewed his atten-
tions to Miss Chase after that. Had
he been a single man, there is no doubt
he would have married the governors
daughter, for he was a splendid looking,
talented man. And when Miss Chase
married Gen. Sprague, this friend of
Judge Chase's, then in Dubuque, de-
precated the match and said to the
writer that kate Chase will never be
contented with such a man as that, and
she'll see trouble yet" 1t seems that
his prediction has been verified.

TnE Washington corresnonden

The Washington correspondent of
the New York Sun says the republican
politicians were delighted at the culmi-
nation of the Yazoo county troubles, in
the shooting of Dixon, independent
candidate for sheriff, by Barksdale,
candidate for chancery clerk. The an
nouncement that the shooting was the
result OF a personal feud between the
W men, was not deemed worthy of
attention by the radicals. They claim
that this interesting episode of Missis-
sippi politics, will probably carry Maine
for the republicans and will also benefit
Foster immensely.

TIE trade In Manchester

Tn trade in Manchester, England,
Is in a bad fix. The Guardian, of that
city, thus reviews the state of things:
"At current rates, the demand and
supply are about equal. at very little
advance, more cloth and yarn would be
offered than could be readily taken of
the market In short, the market is in
q very sensitive condition. Meanwhile
q good deal of machinery is either idle
OF not working to its full capacity, and
there is certainly no inducement to in
crease the production. Buyers seem
agreed that steady buying from day to
day is best. 1t is affirmed that trade is
becoming more healthy, and that spec
nlation has all but disappeared from
the market. Two hundred Golfers EN-

why nve Did Not Keeps Hired

Why Eve Did Not Keep Hired
Girl.
A lady writer in one of our exchanges
furnishes some Of the reasons why Eve
did not keep a hired girl. She says:
There has been a great deal said
about the faults of women and why
they need so much waiting on. Some
one. Ia man, of course,) has the pre-
sumption to ask, why, when Eve was
manufactured Of q spare rib, a servant
was not made at the same time to wait
upon herp' She didn't need any. A
bright writer has said that Adam never
came whining to Eve with q ragged
stocking to DO darned, buttons to be
sowed on, gloves to be mended, right
away--quick--now!' because he never
read the newspaper until the sun went
down behind the palm trees, and in
stretching himself, yawned out: Isn't
supper ready, my dearP' Not he. He
made the fire and hung the kettle over
1t himself, Wen venture, and pulled
b radishes, peeled the potatoes, and
did everything else he ought to do. He
MIXED the cows. fed the chickens, and
looked after the pigs himself, and never
brought half a dozen friends to dinner
when Eve hadn't any fresh pomegran-
ties. He never staid out till IL O'Clock
at night, and then scolded because
poor Eve was sitting up and crying in
side the gates. He never loafed around
corner groceries while Eve was rocking
little Gains cradle at home. He did
not call Eve up from the cellar to get
his slippers and put them in the corner
where he left them. Not he. When
he took them off he put them under the
fig tree besides his Sunday boots. In
short, he did not think she was espec-
tally created for the purpose of waiting
on him, and he wasn't under the i'm
preston that it disgraced a man to
tighten his wife's cares n little. That's
the reason Eve did not need o hired
