Put all into common sized teacup, or
vessel which holds about four ounces,
and pour half full Of boiling water, stir it
well and then fill up with good vinegar.
Fit for use when it settles. Make swab
by cutting little stick about the size of
a pipe stem, notch one end, and wrap a
string Of cotton cloth around it, letting
the cloth project half an inch beyond
the end of the stick, so as not to jag the
mouth and throat, and then tie it on with
a strong thread.
Swab the mouth and throat well every
half hour if the case is bad. When the
patient gets better, every two hours; then
when better, every four hours, and when
still better, two or three times day, till
well, which will be from two to seven
days. Touch every affected spot, the
uvula, tonsils, and fauces, the whole of
the back part of the mouth, and top of
the throat, and let the patient swallow a
little of the wash each time you swab.-
Swabbing causes no pain, though the
patient will gag, and sometimes vomit,
but swab well and feeling of relief will
follow every swabbing.
Let every patient have separate swab
and wash, as the disease is undoubtedly
infectious. Keep the wash pure, pouring
what you see each time into another ves-
sci, and also wipe off any matter or slime
that may accumulate on the swab every
time you take it from your mouth.
Rub the following liniment Oh the
throat, outside, once every three or four
hours. and keep flannel cloth around
the neck till well.
Spirits of turpentine. ounce
Sweet oil Tor linseed oil) ounce.
Aqua ammonia (mix) ounce.
Shake before using each time.
Keep the bowels in regular order with
castor oil.
Keep the patient in the house, but
ventilate well. The diphtheria wash and
liniment will be found sufficient for all
cases if taken in time; and should you
mistake any other sore throat for diph-
liberia you will effect cure almost invari-
ably, as 1 use this for all common sore
throats. / never lost case, and many
have told me thatno money would induce
them, in these, "diphtheria times" to
be without the wash and liniment; and
when q soreness of the throat is felt, it is
used, and cure is always effected.

THE enormous award Of So, 500, 900
made to Canada on account of fish taken
by our fisherman in Canadian waters. is
now known to have been obtained by the
use of false statistics, presented to the
commission by the Canadian authorities
with intent to deceive. Figures may not
lie, but the same cannot be always said of
those who use them. The London Daily
News is so convinced of the fraudulent
nature of the finding that it suggests the
reopening of the question, and the re-
funding of portion of the award
Against auch proposition it might be
objected that our government has still a
large part of the Geneva award, which it
does not know what to do with, q circum-
stance which might indicate that the
award was too large. But the cases are
not parallel. The hitch in the distribu-
ton of the Geneva award came from a
doubt as to the propriety of making good
the losses of insurance people who receiv-
ed pay for taking risks, and lost. In one
case it is question what quantity of
fish was or might be drawn by Yankee
fisherman out of Canadian waters; but
in the other case there is no question
about the amount of American marine
property which British-built cruisers
sent to the bottom Of the sea.

4 NON-SINKABLE STEAMER FOR
THE FALL RIVER LINE.

New York Sun: Mr.. John Roach is
about to build an iron steamboat for the
Fall River line that is intended to be alb
solutely fire-proof and non-sinkable. He
said yesterday that the boat would be
395 feet in length, or nearly twenty feet
longer than the Bristol; made entirely of
iron, from keelson to hurricane deck;
with no hog frame, as in other boats, the
bracing and stiffening being made entire
ly of iron. There will be two distinct
hulls, as if a smaller steamboat was fitted
into the hull of much larger boat. The
hull proper will be divided into about
100 compartments abutting upon an iron
alleyway. Through this alleyway the
numerous compartments may be filled
with cargo, although the cargo of these
boats is usually carried on the main deck.
After being loaded the compartments
will be sealed up. In the room of the
chief engineer there will be thermomet-
ric dial connecting with every compart-
ment in the ship. If a fire should be
smouldering in one of them, it would be
known at once, and flooded by means of
an ingenious system of pipes that will
connect with each section.
Mr.. Roach said that the vessel could
be absolutely cut in two without sinking.
If she should strike a ledge of rocks,
tear hole in her forefoot and carry away
her forepeak, she might be backed off
and proceed or her journey as if nothing
had happened, She will be made SO as
to attain speed of twenty miles an hour,
and will be furnished throughout with
electric lights, and have accommodations
FOR 1900 passengers. The boilers and
engines will be built in an iron case that
will not touch wood work at any point
-.
New ORLEANS PICAYUNE, Stranger,
said the stage driver, s'this was how l
found out her speed: I was driving
| along the railroad track just as big load
of furniture started. The freight car
wouldn't hold it all, but they managed
to squeeze everything in except long
bar mirror, which they tied to the side
of the car. The mare saw her reflection
in the glass and thought it was another
horse squirting forth lead. You couldn't
have held her back with a steam wind
lass. She just laid back her ears and
snorted along like twenty inch SHE'LL
The passengers all began to get excited
They rushed out on the platforms and
began to make bets. The conductor
stood up on seat and began to sell
pools. The engineer pulled the throttle
valve wide open, and tore along at ninety
five miles an hour. Soon the marc was
abreast of the cowcatcher. At San
Bruno we had half mile the lead. Near
the Six Mile house the train was so much
ahead of time that it fell through an open
draw and everlastingly smashed up-72
killed and 1876 wounded. 1t was pretty
rough on the passengers, but then we
distanced the train, bet yer life. About
month after l sold that mare to her
present owner for $6O,OO0."

OH the terrible thought of being made
food for this, at any other time, cowardly
set of whelps! A thousand thoughts
crowded through my mind. Home and
friends, mother and loved ones whom l
had left far away and iourneyed to this
land of gold only to meet an untimely
end. l grew faint, and would have fall
en-, but the thought of my perilous posi-
ton gave me strength and nerved my
arm for the unequal contest.
With all the force l could muster, I
swung my gun right and left, striking
coyote every time, but without any ap-
parent effect; for as speedily as one would
fall back, two or three would crowd in
his place.
Some ten minutes I thus conbated my
terrible enemies, advancing backwards,
for I had dim hope that by this means
I might near the cabin of some miner,
who would come to my rescue, and still
the coyotes gave no signs of falling back.
I grew weak and faint; know not why,
but all hope seemed to haye fled, and
despair took possession of my soul.
My gun fell harmlessly from my hands,
and was Immediately trampled under
foot by the coyotes. AS if by instinct l
took one long step backwards, when,
heavenl the earth seemed to crumble
under my feet. 1 felt myself going
slowly, slowly, 1 knew not where. Was
I being devoured by coyotes? I tainted.
When regained my senses L found
myself lying in the water at the bottom
of an old shaft that had been sunk by
some prospecting party, and which was
probably thirty feet deep.
l could hardly believe my own senses.
I really was alive and free from danger.
No matter what predicament was in
now, 1 was removed from immediate
death, and I felt thankful.
With the exception of a sprained ankle
sustained no injuries.
The coyotes hovered round the mouth
of the shaft until morning, when they
disappeared, no doubt very much dis
gusted with their nights sport.
Early next morning my loud cries at
tracted the attention of a party of miners
on their way to work, when I was rescued
from my damp bed, and you may imag-
inc I felt grateful enough when I found
myself cnce more surrounded by friends.
