A locomotive with q raging wood
fire beneath the boiler, was dragging a
long train up heavy grade near Col
fax Cal, when the wire netting over
the smoke stack blew out. Instantly
stream of live Goals shot into ths air
and fell back upon the cars SO thickly
that there was great danger of a con-
fagrstion. The conductor stationed
5rakemen on top of the train, and Was
hoping to surmount the grade without
accident when, on looking over bis way
bills he discovered to his horror that
the car directly behind the locomotive
was loaded with gunpowder. He i'm
mediately uncoupled it, without alarm
ing the passengers, and while the 9TH
er cars stood on She grade with brakes
hard on, the powder car Was drawn
swiftly up the slope and left on side
track. The engine then returned and
took the rest of the train forward. The
conductor Charles Loughbridge, is en-
titled to public credit for bis calm
"""rage and sound judgment.

The Philadelphia Record OF Novem-
Der 20, 1882, says: The following rs
ceipt for dipbtheria is from ar English
doctor who never lost case when CIV
ing this treatment "One teaspoonful
sui phur in q wine glaa.ul Of water.
Stir with stick. not With metal. Use
as q gargle, allowing some pass down
the throat. When not possible to use
as eargle blow little powdered sui
phur through quill into the throat
This gives instant relief" 1t is now
known that diph;heria is caused by snl-
maIcuie just below the roots of the
tongue, and powdered sulphur is the
most powerful agent land least harm
lessl known. My own children had
the diphtheria-one of them severely
growing worse under the care of a good
physician. l suspended his medicines
and applied powdered sulphur on fat
stick IA ialr piuch, the child projecting
its tongue), just across the lower part
of the tongue. This gave immediate
relief, and after two or three applica-
tiOns the child recovered. In large
town in Western New York there was
IN epidemic Of diphtheria, and every
case was fatal up to the tine this rem-
edy was made known to the people
there, when only one child died of all
those who used it. have mentioned
it to others with like results. This
remedy should be made known in dis
tricts where diphtheria prevails.
