I'm Berlin Over Bis
marclx's ResignafiOn.

LONDON, 6ITll - Dc DciDH COlit-
spondent OF the Times telegraphs that the
resignation OF Prince Bismarck created an
excitement there which overshadowed the
interest taken in the English elections
Upon second thought, however, the alarm
which the announcement Occasioned sub.
sided i'm great measure, it being the
general conviction that Bismarck would
not actually retire and leave 50
much important work unfinished. His
threat TO do so is regarded as
an attempt to bring about certain changes
In the Federal Council. The correspond
ent says: "The Chancellor probably does
not care whether the proposed receipt
stamp tax IS adopted or nor. but its rejec-
ton affords him convenient opportunity
to alter state OF things in the Federal
Council which has long annoyed him; nor
can it be doubted That fundamental
change Of the Imperial Constitution affect
ing the Bundesrath is the real object he
has in view, and it can scarcely be doubted
that rather than pait with this altogether
indispensable prince the States will readily
consent 10 representation In the Federal
Council more in accordance with the prin-
eiple by which the popular deputies arc
sent up to tue RcchStag-tO wit, in pro-
portion to the number OF inhabitants in the
respective States"
A dispatch 10 the Reuters Telegram
Company from Berlin says: "In parlia-
mentary circles it is considered certain that
the Bundesrath will reconsider the bill
passed by that body imposing Imperial
stamp duties, and agree TO the views Of
Prince b smarek. The decision Of the En-
peror with regard to the latter's re>igna-
ton ha, not yet been made Known"

Signs of New Outbreak of MOham-
medau Fanatic SIN I'm Turkey.

LONDON, April 7.-The ConS.anIlnopIe
correspondent OF the Times says there are
signs OF new outbreak OF Mohammedan
fanaticism in Turkey. He cites an article
from paper known TO be in ultimate rela-
tons with the Grand Vizier, which de-
nounces Europe in bitter language as the
author Of outrases upon and prosecutions
OF the Mussulmaps IN Eastern Roumeia,
and invOkes a million culses upon such
civilization as that OF Europe. The CORE
spondent says that such language is sure to
Increase the assassinations Of Christians,
which are already frequent and unpunished.

found chlorate ofpotash highly benefi-
cial in all cases of a low typhoid charac-

juice Of lemons to be taken-by many
thought to be specific for diphtheria.
Should the system Of the patient be very

aconite; but I find more encouraging
results from the latter. As soon as the
urgent SYMPTOMS have subsidized I order
strycnnia, with or without nitro-hydro-

best tonic, but also preventing the pa1al-

The Treatment of DiDhtheria.

DR.. Thomas Quincy, senior physician
to the City Dispensary, London, makes
the following contribution to the Lancet !:
"Since have held the position of phv.
slcian to the city Dispensary have had
considerably more than one thousand
cases of disease Of the throat under nv
care, many of which, both in public and
private practice, have been cases of diph-
liberia. ABOUT this. by far the most Sc
rious disease Of the throat, we have
much to learn. The stiffness of the
neck: the disturbance of the circulation,
the rapid rise Of temperature, before any
affection of the throat is observed, all
point to its being blood poison calling
fol prompt decisive treatment.
''The two questions that arise when
called to case of diphtheria, as, indeed
IN all diseases, are: How does the disease
tend to kill the patient2 and, How does
sature cndeavor to rid herself of the dis
ase?
"Diphtherla tends to kill by suffoca-
tion and by its cxhAusting the vital en- :.
ergy. Suffocation may he either acct.

shuts off the supply Of air to the lungs.
Nature will attain the mastery over her
enemy if the strength be kept up and the
deposits arrested. With these points to
support are our great aim. To succeed
in this have adopted a respirator made
of the ordinary shape and size, the front
the being minutcly perforated. Inside of
respirator I have two or three perforated
plates inserted, between which
place common tow (not cotton WOOL;

the patient tire cf these, l use turpentinc

the mouth, and kept continually ap-
piled. My next idea is to provide the
patient with warm moist air. To do this
have two kettles of water kept boiling
on the fire; attached to the spouts of the
kettles have an elastic tube of IN inch

DRIVING HOME THE cows.


Out Of the clover and blue-eyed grass,
He turned them into the river-lane;
Oae after another he let them pass,
And fastened the meadow bars again.
Under the willows and over the hill,
He patiently followed their sober pace;
! The merry whistle for once was still,
And something Swallowed the sunny face.
Only boy! and his father had said
He never would let his youngest go;
Two already were lying dead,
Under the feet Of the trampling foe.
But after the evening work vas done,
And the frogs were loud In the meadow
swamp,
And stealthily followed the foot-path damp.
Across the clover and through the wheat,
With res0lute heart and purpose grim,
Though cold was the dew on the hurrying
feet,
Thrice since then he'd the lane been white,
And the orchard sweet with apple bloom;
And now when the COWS came back at light,
The feeble father drove them home.
For news had come to the lonely farm
That three were lying where two had lain !;
And the old mans tremulous palsied arm
Could never lean on sons again.
The summer day grew cold and late,
He went for the COWS when the work was
done;
But down the lane as he opened the gate,
He saw them coming one by one,
Brindle, Ebony, Speckle and Bess, =.
Shaking their horns in the evening wind;
Chopping the buttercups out Of the grass
But who was it following close behind?
Loosely swung in the id:e air
The empty sleeve of army blue;
And worn and pale, from the crisping air,
Looked out face that the father knew.
The great tears sprang to their meeting eyes ::
For the heart must speak when the lips arc
dumb,
Under tho silent evening skies
Together they followed the cattle home.
