tells in the Chicago Medical Reuieao
of bis success in an epidemic of diph-
liberia by the use of iodine He has
treated 200 cases with but two deaths,
while before adopting this method he
lost one third of all his cases. The
treatment is as follows: The patient is
ordered tincture iodine in ten to twelve
drop doses every hour, well diluted
with water. so long as the fever lasts,
subsequently reducing to ten drops
every two, and finally every three
hours. Local applications are made
use of at the same time. These latter
should be made by tie physician at
least twice . day. For internal use
the dccolorized tincture is used. Bread

says, Mr.. Graham who became pastor
in October, 1871, is one of the hardest
working and most painstaking of our
ministers; and his pastorate has been
one of marked fruitfulness We hope
the golden anniversary of the organiza-

agcmen., of 800 miles of railroad con-
Meeting St Louis by a continuous route,
with the frontier of Mexico and the i'm
portant railway system now under con-
struction in that country. In order to
utilize the large proposed expenditure
of American capital in Mexico two
things will be necessary. One of them
is stable internal government, and the
other the abolition of the vexatious
Mexican tariff Revolution may be
needful to bring this about, and the re-
suit may be practical annexation-in
a commercial point of view-to the
United States. Without reciprocal free
trade between the two nations railroad
investments in Mexico will be little
short of worthless.

We said some time ago that we
thought itStrange that the expenses of
our national government were SO large
compared with those of the British
government, taking into consideration
the immense military and naval estab-
lishments of government, aud these
continual exposures of corruption in the
departments at Washington show
where the money goes to. The latest ex-
posure in in the post Office department.
where it seems the government has
been defrauded of several millions an
nuallv, by collusion between corrupt
officials and contractors in the letting
of distant mail routes, and the worst
feature of the whole business is that it
is shown that the corrupt officials have
friends among the members of both
branches of congress. of both parties,
who have undoubtedly shared in their
ill-gotten gains. This man Brady. who
has been invited to step down and out
of the 2nd Assistant Postmaster Gen
erals Office, has been in Office for five
years, having been appointed by Grant,
under whose administration corruption
seemed to germinate and flourish like
bad weeds.

TIE DRAMA.

''COnnie Soosah :" at tine Opera House.
In the expressive phrase Of stage vernac
ular Mr.. Charles Gayier's alleged drama
Of "The Connie SOosah'' may be do
scribed as decidedly "tart snap" The
story itself is not without interest, but it
has been treated with an awkward hand
and the amount Of romance, plot and
cOunterplot that are developed in its three
acts soon sour on an audience Of average
intelligence while the abundance ''scnsa-
tional - effects produced, apparently after
intense strain upon the resources Of the
author, frequently briu. it close to the
borders of the Mdicrous. George Clarke,
who played the title role IS passably
good Irish dialect actor. but the. life of
the play is Miss Jennie Yeamans, Il bright
little soubrette, who reminds one Of Annie
Pixley, and whose pretty face, jaunty
style and racy humor saved the perform
ance from the total wreck that frequently
threatened it. With fair voice and
undeniably timber foot this heroic little
lady attempted a. several stages of the
play to entertain the modest audience at
the opera house last evening, but her
praiscwOrthy efforts in that direction were
marrcd by the orchestra, who couldn't or
wouldn't como to time in spite of the re-
peated stampings of her saapely little foot
or the annoyed glanccs OF = pair Of uncOm-
monty fine eyes directed vainly toward the
unconscious musicians. All the same, the
audience Obtaired 4 pretty fair idea Of her
capacity when given half chance, and
applauded accordingly. The company re-
joices in the possession Of an exceptionally
cOld-blOoded villain, in the person
of Mr.. Hagan, who made people
shiver when he rolled his eyes,
but generally speaking the other members
of the company were poor sticks. The
piece needs to be sent to the workshop for
repairs, and ittle judicious pruning of
some Of the absurdities that constitute its
principal stock may result in making it pre-
sentable. n feature Of merit was the
DEVILS Basin scene, fine piece OF
stage architecture !; but faulty management
of it, as for instance when the realistic
waterfall would occasionally stop running
without visible cause, deprived it in a mea-
sure Of its full effect.
