CURE FOR DIPHTHERIA.-A gentle
man of this city. a non-professonal, has
prescribed for two families afflicted
with dyphtheria. and his remedy has
resulted in cures in both cases. In one
of the families three children were
afflicted with the terrible disease. The
gentleman says when the symptoms ap-
pear the room in which the patient is
kept should be thoroughly fumigated
with sulphur, the doors and windows
being closed; put the patient in the
room two or three times day, leaving
him there half an hour. The theory is
that the sulphurous acid fumes destroy
the fungi in the human body as readily
as they do the fungi that attacks vines
and plants. Large quantities OF sui
phur are used for this purpose in Eu-
rope. In the case of the three children
referred to above, cure was effected in
49 hours. The gentleman also suggests
that the plate on which the sulphur is
burned be placed for a few seconds
near enough to the mouth of the pa
tient to permit him to inhale the fumes.
The remedy is certainly worth trial.

The Racket Above.

Citizen Hans occupies lower rooms
in a house on Antoine street. There's
no one but himself and wife, ard when
evening comes and the night wind
means around the gables, he loves to
spread out on each side of the stove and
smoke his big pipe, and fall into q
pleasant reverie.
AID to dream of the hills of Bingen,
Which slope to the river Rhine;
OF eating his pretzels in Hamburg
And drinking the good Dutch wine.
All this would be very nice, but for
the family with seven children upstairs.
When the dusky shadows gather, the
children begin to play pull-away"
across the floor. When tired of that
they play circus and other games, and
Citizen Hans is interrupted in his rev.
erie, and knocks his left knee against
the hot stove, and cries out:
"Py dunders 1 moot oudt of dis

Last night, when the racket was at its
height, Citizen Hans rushed up stairs
and waded through the entire family.
After recovering from their surprise,
they rallied on the left center and
pitched Hans down stairs and into the
street, and he was throwing mud and
fighting like saw-mill when arrested.
"I expect dot schall go home and
moot oudt right away" he explained,
when the officer had finished.

How TO CHOOSE A HoRsE.-An Eng
lish paper tells us that the purchasers
of horses for the French army always
endeavor to obtain first look at the
animal when he is in the stable, noting
if the animal supports himself equally
we'll on all his legs, and, if one seems
to yield, especially examining it. At
tention is then directed to the large
ness of the pupil of the eye, which
ought to be more dilated when in the
stable than when exposed to light. AZ
ter the animal has been led out of the
stable, tue eye ought to be again ex-
amined to see if the pupil has been
contracted; if not, the sight is feeble.
Others, to test the power of vision,
feign to strike the forehead with the
hand. If the hollow over the eye be
profound and the temple grey, old age
is to be concluded. Wounds about the
temple suggest attacks of staggers; and
when the end of the nose presents cir
cular scars, it may be concluded the
horse has been twitched with cord to
insure his quietness while being shod
or having had to submit to some pain
full operation.

nal, this pen picture of Gen. Sheridan,
against whom a suit for destroying
Southern property after the war is now
in progress in New York: "The Hero
of Winchester" comes in quietly and
unattended. He is little undersized,
stocky and compactly bnilt. His face
is .bronzed, like one recently in the
wars. His hair is iron-gray, and cut
close. His eyes are large and protrud-
ing, with fierce glare, like one who
sees right through you. He wears the
nobby overcoat Of the season, patterned
after close fitting dressing gown, sin
gle breasted and coming down to the
ankles, buttoned from the throat to the
hem of the garment. Young lawyers,
young clerks and fast young men con-
slider this garment the style. The Cen
eral removes his overcoat, reveals the
black military frock coat, takes his seat
and pays soldierly attention to the pro-
ceedings.

Laughed Herself to Death.


One of the most extraordinary deaths
that ever was chronicled in this city
occurred yesterday, and is to-day the
talk of the town. The circumstances
are as follows: Mr.. Joshua Walker is o
respectable colored man, residing on
Fillmore street, and married a short
time since young woman of excel.
lent character and who was not quite
20 years of age. Joshua proved a
worthy husband, always looking after
the household comforts. Day before
yesterday he purchased some fresh
pork which he intended to salt down
for the coming cold weather. Yester-
day he went to the cupboard for the
purpose of obtaining salt with which
to make brine for the picking, and
took from a jar what no presumed was
the required article, thereafter pro-
ceeding to the cellar to use it on the
meat. His wife, Rosa, being about
her household duties, did not notice
what the husband was about, but when
she came down from the chambers
made the discovery almost Immediately
that Joshua had taken a quantity Of
granulated Sugar to salt the pork. She
did not rave and get mad, but possibly
had she taken that turn she would not
now be lying cold in death. Instead
she set out to hearty laugh, going to
the spot where her husband was. Her
laughter continued for some time,
there being not the least cessation.
She laughed and laughed and laughed,
her presumed merriment getting more
boisterous each moment. Finally the
husband became alarmed and sent out
for assistance, and soon his landlord,
Deacon Henry Hazard, arrived, wit
Messing in q few minutes the poor
woman's departure, it is hoped for the
better land. She had positively laughed
herself TO death. The husbands hor-
ror at this extraordinary result Of his
innocent mistake can be better imagined
than described. He was warmly at
tached 10 his young wife. and it is
fitting. in drawing the veil over this
terrible scene, to say that they were
both exceedingly worthy persons and
that the husband has the sympathy Of
scores Of people in this his hour Of
trouble.

SLEEPLEssNEss.-T Boston Journal
of Chemistry gives some hints to the
many persons who nowadays suffer from
sleeplessness. One of the most efficient
means of inducing natural sleep, it
says, is the application of mustard
plasters to the abdomen. Preyer, OF
Jena, advocates the administration of q
freshly-made solution of lactateof soda,
or of some milk or whey. Where the
sleeplessness depends upon brain ex-
haustion DIR. Hollis recommends the
administration. just before bed time, of
tumblerful of hot claret and water,
with sugar and nutmeg. The alkalies
and alkaline earths are useful when
acid dyspepsia is present. In hot
weather, sprinkling the floor OF the
sleeping apartments with water lessons
the irritant properties of the air, adding
much to the comfort of the sleepers
possibly the quantity of ozone is at the
same time increased. When sleep is
broken by severe pain, opium or NOR
phia is of value. In the wakefulness
due to neuralgia it is often better to in.
ject small dose OF morphia, hypodermi-
cally near the branch of the affected
nerve, than to administer it by the
mouth.
