JOHN DILLON.

The Milwaukee Republican contains
the following account of John Dillon,
the we'll known comedian, who made one
of his earliest, if not his first, appear
ances on Watertown stage:
An exchange reports that John has
Just had another attack Of his cold COM
plaint," and that he has consequently
'jumped' an engagement. This time
John was taken i'll on the upper Michi-
gan peninsula, and the result has been
the breaking up of the company of which
he was the principal attraction. John
has probably succeeded in securing the
dissolution of more dramatic organiza
tions than any other man in the profess
ttion. Twenty-Five or thirty years ago
the Wisconsin circuit was almost the ex-
elusive property of Langrishe & Atwater
Dillon was the low comedian of the
company tn en-. Jack Langrishe (real
name John Folds), John B. Atwater,
and John Dillon (real name John Dill
lon Marrdn), married three sisters. Mrs.
Langrishe and Mrs Atwater are living;
Mrs. Dillon has been dead many years,
and since her death John has never been
himself. He has married three or four
times,-once at night in Ben jennings
saloon in Chicago, but he applied for a
divorce the next day, and in course Of
time secured it. His has been very
varied matrimonial and theatrical career.
His present wife, Marie Louise Dillon, is
ali estimable lady. But he has played
upon all sorts of stages-from grand
opera houses to four corners barns. In
1861, when Laura Keene produced the
first American spectacular success, The
Seven Sisters, at her own theater in New
York John was member of the compa-
nv and made a hit, but as usual, he
could not stand prosperity. He has
earned half a dozen Of fair fortunes,
but they have all gone the same way.
Commanding large salary or percentages
one season the next would find him at
work for the pay ofa competent proper
ty man. He has talents that have sell
dom been excelled on the American
stage, but he had prostituted them to
what has become an entirely uncOntroll-
able appetite. If he could ''brace up"
he could command as large salary as
as almost any comedian in America.
But he is another ''Fritz'' Emmett.
Jack Langrishe has bedn in the far west
most of the time for a good many years.
He has been manager of theatres in
nearly all of the more important mining
camps. Lately burned out at Deadwood,
he is attempting to inaugurate an ex-
tensive dramatic enterprise at Denver,
the success of which is not assured.
Atwater lives in Geneva, ILL.,, and is
wealthy, having made himself so by sew
eral ingenious inventions-he owns a
dozen or to of patents, some of them
very remunerative.
John Dillon's daughter Fannie, now
on the stage, bids fair to become an art
!st of more than ordinary ability.

THE TOY PISTOL.

From all parts of the country reports
come pouring in, giving tabulated state
ments of the number of children who
have lost their lives by the deadly toy
pistol. This is little implement, cost
ing from 20 to 80 cents, looking like 6
diminutive pistol. Above the small bar
rel little hammer, operated by spring,
is mounted, and the knob of the hammer
falls into a small percussion pan at the
right-hand side of the barrel A danger
Gus percussion compound is sold with
the pistols in the form of little paper pei
lets. When one of these little pellets is
placed in the percussion pan and the
trigger is pulled, and an explosion is
procured, and for some inexplicable reas-
on this murderous little toy has come
into extensive use during the past few
years as an aid in commemorating the
national holiday The explosive pellet
is made of preparations of gun cotton,
illuminate of mercury, chlorate of potass,
sugar and phosphorus and other COM
pounds
Considerable CONSERVATION has arisen
at the number of deaths resulting from
the trifing explosion caused by the use of
these toy pistols The wound is invaria-
bic inflicted between the thumb and fore
finger of the left hand by premature
discharge of the pistol. Most of the chill
dren whose lives have been sacrificed by
the use Of this fatal toy have died of lock-
jaw or "tetanus'' as it is termed scientific
ally As considerable time has elapsed
in the majority of cases from the moment
of the infiction of the wound until death
has taken place medical experts have
been, and are still, at a loss to know wheth-
er lockjaw which supervenes is a direct
and immediate result of the wound, or
whether the "tetanus," which is the prox-
innate cause of death is not to be traced
to an absorption in the blood Of the pois
onous ingredients of which the fulmina-
ting pellets are made. Tentanus is un-
happily no rare or unfamiliar malidy.
The name from 'teino''- q stretch RE
fers to that rigid and cramped condition Of
the muscles which is the most characteris-
tic symptom and which in sober earnest
is suggestive of rigor mortis. Hydropho
bia alone excepted, Dr. Russel Reynolds
says, "tetanus' is at once the most appal-
ling and most perilous of all spasmodic
diseases. Thirteen boys between the ages
of 10 and 16 years have died in Baltimore
during the past week from lockjaw caused
by wounds from blank cartridges discharg-
ed from miniature toy pistols All of the
wounds resulting in death were received
in the left hand, between the thumb and
forefnger. At last accounts thirteen
other boys were suffering from wounds
received in the same way-some having
lockjaw, and several were reported to be
dying. From all parts of the State of
Wisconsin reports are made of the deaths
of children from like causes, and in view
of the fatal effects Of the sale of these
death-dealing toys the community natur
ally ask whether the parties by whom
they were sold cannot be prosecuted for
manslaughter.

Farmers, when you harvest your wheat
the troublesome chinch bug will then
proceed to destroy your corn. We want
those who are disposed, to adopt
the following plan, if troubled by these
pests: Cut down three or four outside

field in row. The bugs will get in the
row and stay there, You can save your
corn by adopting this plan.

TERMS IN THE BULLETINS.

Some readers of the bulletins from the
White Honse are finding technical terms
somewhat new to them, and also the de-
tails of medical processes relating to
symptoms with which they are but i'm
perfectly acquainted
"What is tympanitis?" "What is per-
itonitis?" "How do the doctors find out
his temperature?" and so on. 1t will
serve popular measure to explain some
of these matters. The midnight bullet
in between Sunday, July 3, and the
morning of July 4, said, ".Some tympan-
tits is recognized" The meaning of it
was that the abdomen of the patient
was swelling up like drum, the swell
ing being due to an accumulation of air
or gases in the intestinal tube or else in
the peritoneum; and this is considered a
very unfavorable sign in injuries like
those of the President.
Peritonitis, which the doctors feared
also, is an inflammation of the peritoneum,
a membrane that envelops the intestines
and other abdominal organs, and gen
orally the interior of the abdomen;
peritoneum meaning therefore in this
instance a membrane that stretches
around and about the intestines. Infa-
nation of that membrane or "periton-
it's always marks dangerous phase OF
disease or injury from wounds.
The temperature of a sick or wounded
person indicates the presence or absence
of the inhammatory condition, aud, IN
cases like this, is watched with great soil.
citude. The temperature is ascertained
by placing the bulb of small thermome-
ter, specially adapted for the purpose, in
the mouth of the patient, or sometimes
under the armpit. The average natural
heat of the human body in good condit-
ion of health is 9S.5 deg. of Fahrenheit S
scale. 1t is usually marked on our ther-
mometer as "blood heat at the ninety
eighth degree. In very infamed condi-
tions the temperature Of patients has been
observed to rise as high as 1OS deg. in
children and 107 deg. in adults. Any
thing above 1O4 deg. to 1O5 deg. is regar-
ded as very serious by physicians, The
Presidents temperature has risen several
times to 101.9 deg, or nearly 3.5 deg,
above the normal or natural.
The fluctuations of the pulse are noted
carefully in the daily bulletins. In good
health, and when the body is quiet, the
natural beats Of the pulse of an adul male
are about 60 to 70 minute.
There are differences, too at different
periods of the day, the greatest frequency
of the pulse-beats occurring about the
middle of the day, and the least about
midnight.
Frequency of respiration is likewise
feature of the bulletins. Since he was
wounded his respiration has ranged iron
10 to "a breathings minute. In health
and when free from exciting cause, the
number of breathings per minute is from
IA to Is.
