Diphtheria and Scarlet Fever
The prevalence OF the two diseases above
named in any community, naturally causes
alarm and anxiety among parents, and the
question is frequently asked, what is sure
preventive against these dreaded diseases
A reliable correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Ledger writes as follows on the subject:
"a year or two ago our housemaid, after a
days sillness-tever, throat obstruction, etc.
went to bedabout noon thoroughly sick. Our
doctor in the afternoon decided that she was
suffering with diphtheria. Toward evening
my youngest child, about years old, who
had been ailing somewhat all day, mani
tested the same symptoms, and also became
quite sick. On reaching home at night at
once placed In tumbler enough black oxide
OF manganese to cover the bottom to the
depth Of half an inch, and added sufficient
common muriatic acid to form thin paste.
Stirring this mixture with glass rod every
few minutes, and holding the tumbler at
arms length to avoid direct inhalation of the
fumes given off, walked slowly through
every part OF the house, leaving the windows
open at the top and bottom to provide the
free circulation of air, and not forgetting the
cellar.
Next day the housemaid attended to her
usual work, and the child showed no signs
Of Ill health. l spoke of the circumstance
to my brother, and, some time after, his
child, who had been playing with neigh
boris child not fully recovered from scarlet
fever, became sick and showed the early
symptoms of that disease. My brother
adopted the measures had employed, with
the same results, the child being quite well
the next day. Since then other persons to
whom l suggested this simple preventive
have tried it and found it effective |
have used it whenever any member of the
family has manifested any of the symptoms
which usher in any one of the many dis
eases, and my children, in their eighth and
sixth years, have not as yet suffered from
any ordinary diseases of childhood"

A Spanish CITY at Night.

AS the shades of evening descend,
this whole street, illumined with lamps,
torches, and parti-illumined with
lanterns, becomes a fairy scene. The
cafes are then crowded to repletion :;
youthful eyes flash love at each other
over glasses of snowy Horchatas old
men sip their spiced cognac and dream
of the isles of blessed, and fiery politi-
tians rave and stamp and seem ready
to tear each other to pieces. Here a
group of artists discuss picture there
a couple of padres are trying their hands
at cards here is youngnailitaire, fresh
from Madrid. covered with spangles and
as gay as peacock ; and there in that
corner-can you believe your eyes i
the veritable old beggar that you just
saw in the street, investing the piesta
that you gave him in a nightcap of invig-
Grating cordial. Every rank in society
is represented every variety of color
and costume flashes out beneath those
brilliant lights, while your ears are
assailed by the din of voices, the tink-
ling of glasses. the sharp click of the
dice on the marble table, intermingled
with the strains of delicious music.
This is De las Siarpes by night. Would
you not like to see it It is phantas-
magoria of splendor; it is babel of
confusion it is page from the "Arab-
ian Nights Entertainments supple
mented by sundry passages from the

A Solid Bank.

Speaking of stock matter, says New
York letter-writer, it may be noticed
that Chemical Bank shares have reached
81, 78O, this being the highest quotations
of any banking house in the world.
When one considers that the original
price Of these shares was $100, the pres
ent figures show very handsome ad-
vance. Sixty years have elapsed since
manufacturing chemicals and was deep
ly disappointed when it proved failure,
The experiment sunk $780, 600, which in
those days was equal to $1,000,O 900 at
the present time. An apparent misfort-
une, however, often proves real bene-
ft, as was the case in this unsuccessful
enterprise. The latter had a banking
privilege which Mason determined to
turn to account He abandoned the
chemical scheme, but continued the
banking privilege. The capital was only
$500, 900, but under good management
it has accumulated surplus of $4,000,-
600, which is actively at work. The re-
suit is dividends of 25 per cent. per
quarter and the present astonishing quo
tations. John Mason was the dry-goods
colossus of his day, and left large fort
une. His nephew. John @. Jones, was
President of the Chemical Bank for
forty years. He died not long ago in a
good old age, leaving an estate worth
$2,00O,000, most of which had been
made by buying business paper, in
which he was an expert. Jones saw
Chemical shares reach $1,000, which
some considered the extreme of their
possible valuation. There are, however,
no more to be had even at the last quo
tations and it is now probable that they
will reach $4,000.

The Depredating Oyster Fleet.

NORFOLK, Va, February 9-At a
late hour last night the only intelli-
gence received Of Governor Cam
erons expedition against the depre-
dating oyster feet in the waters of
Rappahanock River, was the report
of Captain Bloodsworth, Of the Bal
timore freight steamer, CASTOR,
which came down Chesapeake Bay,
yesterday.
The CASTOR passed the mouth of
the Rappahannock at - o'clock, at
which time, Governor Cameron's s
steamer, louisa, had six oyster
schooners in tow, and at some dis
tance up the river was the steamer
supposed to be her consort, Vic-
toria J. Reed. No other oS ster men
were in sight, and as two steamers
effectualy blocked the river, it is
presumed that the rest of the feet
had been driven up the river, where
they will no doubt be captured.
There were no indications at that
time of any fight having taken place.

take early measures to remove
and prohibit poligamy throughout
the United States.
Both were referred to the COM
mittee on judiciary.
The morning hour was dispensed
with at 1895, and the House went
into committee of the whole on the
immediate deficiency bill, which
makes an appropriation of $l,822, ,983.
Over the clause appropriating
$4,000 for the construction of
vaults in the treasury and sub
treasures, quite an interesting dis
cussion arose upon the silver ques-
ton.
Mr.. Hewitt, of New York, made a
vigorous attack UPON the standard
silver dollars, characterizing it as
a cheat and fraud and fiat money, in
it's worst and most repulsive and OF
jectionable sense, and asserting that
it rendered all commercial transac-
tions cheating transactions.
Mr.. Stephens, of Georgia, and Mr.
Marsh, of Illinois, defended the sil>
yer dollar, declaring that it was the
true unit of value They character
lied the act of 1873, as an act pass
ed for the purpose of degrading sill
yer, and Marsh declared that the cry
that the standard dollar was fraud
ulent. was false in fact and untrue
in principle.
Mr.. Springer, of Illinois, offered
an amendment for the issue of cer-
titicates of silver bullion; but it was
ruled out on point of order.
On q point of order by Mr..
Blount, of Georgia, the clause for
the payment of six hundred dollars
extra salary to the Deputy Commits
sioner of Pensions, and five hundred
dollars to the chief clerk, were ruled
out.
After discussing the clause rela
tive to rebuilding the Jefferson
school building in Washington, the
committee rose and reported the bill
to the House, when it was passed
and the House adjourned.
