The Spread Of Diphtheria.

The unusually large number of fatal
cases of diphtheria, now occurring in
this city and Brooklyn, and in many
rural districts as we'll as in our larger
towns, call for special care and intelli-
gence In preventing the generation and
spreading Of this terrible disease. The
following statement of the symptoms of
disease, and the precautions to be taken
where it prevails, is being distributed by
the Health Department of this city.
Everybody should read it and attend TO
its warnings:
Cleanliness in and around the dwell.
ing, and pure air in living and sleeping
rooms, are of the utmost importance
where any contagious disease is prevail
ing, as cleanliness tends both to prevent
and mitigate it. Every kind and source
of filth around and in the house should
be thoroughly removed; cellars and foul
areas should be cleaned and disinfected:
drains should be put in perfect repair;
dirty walls and ceilings should be lime
washed, and every occupied room
should be thoroughly ventilated. Apart
ments which have been occupied by per-
sons sick with .diphtheris should be
cleansed with disinfectants, ceilings lime
washed and woodwork painted; the
carpets, bed.clothing, upholstered fur
niture, etc., exposed many days to fresh
air and the sunlight (all articles which
may be boiled or subjected TO high de.
grees of heat should be thus disinfected):
such rooms should be exposed to cur.
rents Of fresh DIR for, at least one week
before reoccupatiOn.
Whom diphtharis is prevailing, no
child should be allowed to kiss strange
children nor those suffering from sore
throat the disgusting custom of COM
polling children to kiss every visitor is q
wel-contrived method Of propagating
other grave diseases than diphtheria);
nor should It sleep with nor be confined
to rooms occupied by-or use articles as
toys taken in the mouth, handkerchiefs,
etc., belonging to-children having sore
throat, Group or catarrh. II the weather
is cold, the child should be warmly clad
with dAunels.
When diphtheris il in the house or in
the family, the we'll children should be
scrupulously kept apart from the sick,
In dry, well-aired rooms, and every
possible source Of infection through the
Dir, by personal contact with the sick,
and BY articles used about them or in
their rooms. Shouh Be rigidly guarded.
Every attack Of sore throst, cough and
ca&arrh should be It once attended to:

Of the retiring Repres entatives 81
were Democrats, l6 Republicans, land
three Greehbackcrs. The thrcc coun-
ties represented by Greenbatkers
were Grechnp, llancock' and Butler.
The two first elect Democrats. and
Butler elects Republican. On the
other hard the Greenbackers carry
Hopkins Galloway and Critteuden,
aud stili' hold the tort with three
lmriiibers. The Republicans lose five
of their sixteeni..members and gain
six from the Democrats, making with
the one gained from the Greemback-
ers, n net gain Of two in the House.
They make clear gain Of five in the
Senate, giving them total gain in
both houses Of seven, so far asheard
from, and a total membership of nine
Senators and eighteen Representa-.
tives. The Democrats it will be seen
have over three-fourths of the Senate
aud four-fifths of the House, and
while this 10 the case there Is no cause
for serious alarm. An occasional de-
feat stirs up the Democrats who
would otherwise grow careless. This
is evidenced by the tact that The Re.
pnbhcans lost nearly one-ihird OF
their membership IN the last Legisla-
ture. In several counties they slipped
their man in between two Democrats,
aud so al! things taken into consider
alton they have made no material
gains, except in the Senate. With
more than one.third OF the voters OF
the State the Republicans have less
than one.fiith Of the Legislators. This
does not look much like they were in
any great danger Of running the State
government for some time TO come.
Democrats must learn lesson from
their recent losses, though. and rouse
up and repaiF Hieh next time. The
Republicans can be routed and put 10
flight, even here in Christian county,
and faith. it must be done"

The Next Legislature.

The Republicans have made some
gains in the recent election, but they
are attributable to the apathy of the
Democrats and not to an increase IN
the Republican vote. Republicans, as
general thing, vote at cverv election,
aud by sticking together they work
in their men sometimes IN Democratic
counties. The Senate is composed OF
thirty-eight members, half of whom
are elected bienn!ally. OF those who
hold over the Dem crats have fifteen
and the Republicans four, OF the
new ones the Democrats elect four
teen and the Republicans fivo. This
is gain OF five, as all Of the nineteen
retiring; Senators were Democrats.
Only one Of the old Senators is re-
TUNED.
The House OF Representatives is
composed OF 100 members, elected
biennially. The reports of all the
counlivs ape not yet IN, but enough is
known 10 sum W the following facts l

him with the assurance that IN three
