DIPTHERlA.

Here is a diptheria remedy extract
ed from the Belfast, Ireland, Witness.
1t is certainly simple enough. If it
is indeed what is claimed for it, it
ought to be widely circulated
Should you or any of your family
be attacked with diptheria, do not be
alarmed, as it is easily and speedily
cured. When it was raging in Eng
land few years ago. I accompanied
DR.. Field on his round to witness the
so-called wonderful cures" he per-
formed while the patients of others
were dropping on both sides. The
remedy is SO rapid it must be simple.
All he took with him was a powder
of sulphur and quill, and with these
he cured every patient without ex-
ception.
He put a teaspoonful of -four of
birthstone in a wine glass of water,
and stirred with his finger instead of
a spoon, as the sulphur does not read
lily amalgamate with water. When
the sulphur was we'll mixed he gave
it as gargle, and in ten minutes the
patient was out of danger. Brim-
stone kills every species of fungus in
man, beast and plant, in a few min
utes. Instead Of splitting out the
gargle, he recommended the swallow
ing of it.
In extreme cases, in which he had
been called inst in the nick of time,
when the fungus was too nearly closed
to allow the gargling, he blew the
sulphur through a quill into the
throat, and after the fungus had
shrunk, to allow of it, then the garg-
Cling. He never lost patient from
diptheria. If patient cannot gar
gle, tako live coal, put it on a show
ell, and sprinkle teaspoonful of -four
Of birthstone upon it; let the sufferer
inhale by holding his head over it.

Discharging a Conductor.

Robert Criswell, the man whose wit
gave the Oil City Derrick its funny repu-
tation, played heartless joke on Gin
cinnati car conductor for rudeness.
Criswell was going home on the horse-car
in question, and it was crowded inside,
so he loafed on the rear platform. The
conductor told him to go inside. Girls
veil said he didn't care to go inside,
but the conductor insisted, and loudly
threatened to put him off. Everybody
began to look at the dispute, but Cris-
well saw nobody that knew him and
determined to have his little joke. The
conductor yelled: Come, young fellow,
get inside, or I'll bounce you clear
across the streetr Criswell turned on
him and said, in n severe manner: my
man, you don't know who | am, but
I've had my eyes on you for several
days. There are too many conductors
like you on the road, and we are losing
friends every day because our patrons
are insulted by conductors who are Doors
and rufians. Now you can pull the
bell cord ard let NE off But you need
not take out the Car to morrow; there
will be a man to take your place. When
you take the car in tonight turn over
your bell. punch and ask for your time.
That will settle it," Taking p menta !
note of the number of The car, he waited
for it next day, and there was a new
conductor. The newspaper man asked:
"Where is the conductor who was on
yesterdayP" oh" the new man said,
"the blamed old fool tried to bounce a
director last night, and he got fired"

A House OF Gold Bricks.

There is q certain brick building in
Cheyenne, not thousand miles from
the Leader office, which is almost worth
its weight in gold. The bricks in its
walls are at least impregnated with the
precious metal to valuable extent. The
discovery was made accidentally by =
gentleman who has an office near by.
He frequently noticed shining yellow
particles in the bricks, and imagining
that the colors were gold, he took out
a brick from the wall for the purpose of
ascertaining the facts. This brick he
first pulverized and then "panned out !"
the colors. He could not get rid of all
the dirt, and concluded to send the
residuum to an assayer in Denver. In
few days the assay certificate rived
and showed that there was thirty-eight
cents worth of gold in the brick. The
gentlemen then took out two other
bricks in different parts of the building
and pulverized and panned them rs he
did the first. The same assayer gave his
certificate as follows: Sample No. |,
gold, forty-seven cents; sample No. Q,
gold, twenty-four cents. With remark
able secrecy the gentleman proceeded to
learn whence came the bricks. After
considerable inquiry it was learned that
the bricks were made in yard that was
formerly situated on Crow creek, near
Cheyenne, but which is now obliterated.
Further investigation, among the Oldest
residents, divulged the fact that placer
mining was at one time carried on along
Grow creek, but the miners thought that
the pay wasn't big enough, and they
therefore abandoned their claims. 1t
was near these claims that the brick
yard, mentioned above, was started, and
that explains how gold dust got into the
bricks.-Cheyenne (Wyoming) Leader.

CROSSED IN LOVE.

Mr.. Busby was sitting upon the
parlor sofa, in the dusk of the even
ing, holding Miss Lazenhys land,
which she was trying 10 draw from
his grasp. He had just proposed
and she didn't seem TO resi- ond very
heartily.
"Oh, say you will accept me Say

"And didn't you love any of the

it was. The first was Mary McDosh.
After l was engaged to her, | used to
90 round to McDosh's at night, and just

The PuIse.

Many erroneous impressions prevail
about the pulse as Indicative of health
or disease, a common notion being that
its beatings are much more uniform than
they really are. Frequency varies with
age. In the newborn infant the beat
ings are from l3O to l40 per minute; in
second year, from 100 to lis; from the
sey enth to the fourteenth year, eighty to
ninety; from the fourteenth to the
twenty-irst year, from seventy-five to
eighty-fve; from the twenty first to the
sixtieth year, from seventy to seventy
five. After that period the pulse is gen.
orally thought to decline, but medical
authorities differ radically on this point,
having expressed the most contradic-
tory opinions. Young persons are often
found whose pulses are below sixty, and
there have been many instances of
pulses habitually reaching 100, or not
exceeding fifty, without apparent dis
ease. Sex, especially in adults, influ-
ences the pulse, and in women it beats
more rapidly than in men. Muscular
exertion, even position, materially af-
fects the pulse. Its average frequency
In healthy men is, when standing,
eighty-one; when sitting, seventy-one;
when lying, sixty-six per minute; in
women of the same age and in the same
positions, ninety-one, eighty-four and
seventy-nine. In sleep the pulse is con-
siderably slower than in wakefulness.
In certain diseases, such as acute dropsy,
for instance there may be no more than
twenty or thirty per minute. Thus, one
of the commonest diagnostic signs is
liable to deceive the most experienced
practitioner.

Ut Is WELL KNOWN By MICRO

forms of life, yet life they have; thus you
may call them little living destroyers of

TAXING one consideration with an.
other, the British farmers lot has not
been happy one in. these late years.
This year matters will not be much
mended. His hay has been injured by
the heavy rains and consequent floods,
his wheat is light and discolored, his
cattle have in some instances been at
tackled by pleuro-pneumonia, and now it
is reported that his lambs are suffering
from scour and hoof-rot. Such disap-
pointments are enough even to shake
the sternest purpose and to cast gloom
over the most sturdy British yeomaf.

Hub. The third district is the one now
represented by Walbridge A. Field, repub.
lican. "A Vermonter by birth, and brother

mating Mr.. Morse and one Elk. Governor
William Castor. In the third district the
republicans wanted to re-nominate Mr..
Field, but he declined to be candidate,
and then at their convention they put in
nomination Hon. A. A. Ranney, another
Boston lawyer. Mr. Ranney is a native
of Westminster, Vt. He last Monday
sent a letter declining the nomination.
And it is very likely that the republicans
of the district now that the two Vermont

REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS.
The October Elections.

Next week Ohio, Indiana and West
Virginia vote. We expect Ohio to 90 re-
publican and the other two states to be
democratic. This expectation is in the
face of strong democratic claims that they
propose to take Ohio from us and also
opposed to the view taken by some san
guine republicans that we may get In
diana.
II is true that the democrats have made
n most desperate and cunning effort to
capture Ohio and that the republicans
have been little slow in their campaign
there. 1t is further true that should the
democrats carry both Indiana and Ohio
the latter by a majority of such size that
IN earnest effort could not redeem it in
neutrality-suspicious. prospects would
be dark enough for November.
But republican majority of the small
est kind even in Ohio and giving both
Indiana and West Virginia to the demo-
Gratis, leaves us with good fighting
chance OF winning in November for New
York as we look at it is the great battle
ground.
On the other hand if Ohio and Indiana
should both unexpectedly cast their for
tunes with the republicans we are in good
prospect of winning even should we lose
New York in November. Specuations
however will soon be reduced TO certainty
for next Tuesday the votes 90 into the
boxes in the states named.
Meantime it should be noted that the
Connecticut town elections Monday gave
results most encouraging to the republi-
cans. The state will be close but it looks
rs though Garfield is to carry it all right.
