effort be made to contradict everyone
who chooses to retail yarns of this

even more of sulphur, and an equal

A Cure for Diphtheria.

An English physician recently pre-
Scribed teaspoonful of sulphur in a
wineglass of water to be used as a
gargle. A correspondent applied flour
of sulphur on fiat stick to his own
children, who were desperately sick,
with immediate relief, and now the
editor of the Philadelphia Record
says:
= A gentleman residing in the north
ern part of the city, whose two little
daughters were dying last Thursday
of diphtheria, saw in the Record of
that day communication commend
ing the use of sulphur in cases of
diphtheria. AS a last resort he made
a trial of it, using washed flour of
sulphur, and applying it directly
to the membraneous growths in the
Threats of the children by means of a
common clay pipe. The effect was
almost magical. Within two days the
children, who had been given up by
their physician, had recovered

plication of sulphur is that it destroys
them. 1t is remedy easily tried, and

Whence comes it that painting, if
perfectly true to nature, possesses for
us in many cases extreme beauty,
when the original is commonplace
and unintereSting? A lover of art
painted hand. He win note the per-
lection q the flesh tint, the accuracy
with which each vein is ITjiIct eedd.-th
grace of every curve, and will say, as
the highest praise he can give, that il
seems like a real human hand, stand
ing out from the canvass. But, after
all, it is difficult to explain wherein its
especial beauty lies. No doubt the
skill of the artist who can note SO
accurately and reproduce the exact
features and details in the appearance
of hand eXcites marvel and admi-
ration. But in what, especially, con-
sists the beauty of the picture, when
the highest praise we can give it is
that it closely resembles Il human
hand: There is doubtless a certain
beauty in the human hand, but it
would seem to fall far short of and
differ from that unique, artistic beauty
which we perceive in the picture. If
any one who was gazing at the latter
with delight were suddenly told that
it was no picture, but, like Peg WOf-
tington's portrait, a real hand inserted
through hole in the canvass half its
charm would be gone. And yet the
curves, veins and flesh-tint would be
not one whit less perfect. We are in
clined to think that the true eX-

music. A beautiful melody, if heard
constantly, ceases to arouse any emo
ton. Our sense of the beautiful in
its regard becomes dulled. But we
sometimes find it is performed in an
unaccustomed way-for instance, by
an entirely new combination of in
struments-ou faculties become once
more stimulated by this element of
freshness and our enjoyment of it is
as keen as ever. This very thing hap
pened recently to the present writer,
who heard a beautiful air of Mozart,
whose charm he had deemed de-
stroyed forever by the agency of re-
peated barrel-organ performances, eX-
ecuted on mandolin and guitar by
Swiss peasants. And Just as the
novelty and cleverness of the per-
Torrance aroused, in this case, keen
sense of the beauty of the piece, so,
we suggest, is sense of the beauty
of the human hand. which has been
lost on account of our familiarity
with it, aroused 10y the stimulus
given to him who notes with admira-
ton the wondrous skill of the artist.
The hand itself really possesses all the
beauty of the picture, and doubtless
Adam admired it as much in nature
as we do in art. But to us it is too
familiar in nature to be appreciated
without some especial stimulus given
to our faculties. This we take to have
been Rants view when he said, with
almost epigrammatic terseness: "Na-
ture was found beautiful, when it
looked at the same time as if it were
art; and art can only be called beauti-
full if we are conscious that it is art,
and it yet appears to us as if it were

The Penitentiary MIDDLE.

Galveston Print.
The committee is expected every
day to report on the confirmation of
the lease made 10y the board with
MeSsrS. Cunningham X Ellis for lif-
teen years, at $4,000 per annunl, for
the two penitentiaries. The PROPOSE
ton made by Col. Nathan Patton to
double the bid, under the same condi-
ton, will necessarily color the report,
and perhaps control the recommends
ton of the committee. 1t stands to
reason that if the bid is regarded rs u
bona tide one, the committee would
be bound to report against coniirma-
ton of so losing bargain and in
favor of either, accepting Col. Pat
tons bid, or of opening the bids to all
corners.
The high character of the gentle
men who compose the board can not
prevent the Print from remarking
upon the extremely questionable
character of the transaction that re-
suited in the acceptance for so eX-
tended IA period a bid 50 VIGOROUSLY

transaction is questionable because of
its quasi private character. A matter
of such importance should have been
advertised long and well. 1t is ques-
tionable on account of its alleged
haste. An offer like this should have
been treated with the utmost deliber-
alton and should have challenged in
spection by its reluctant consent, like
that practiced by faithful auc-
tioneer, unwilling to sacrifice a
noble piece of property for Il
mere song. 1t is questionable,
since it looks as if the former
lessees were favored rs inside parties,
and all others formed an outside crowd
to be discouraged and ignored. The
transaction is further said to be ques-
tionable on account of the shape" in
which the call was made. OF this we
are not specially advised, and there
fore do not insist upon it. At any
rate, The Print holds that in matter
involving SO largely the interests of
the state, and the possible saving of
100000 to the people, it would be
eminently proper for the legislature to
refuse to confirm so bad bargain as
that made with MeSSrS. Cunningham
X Ellis, and to order new opening
of the bids, or an acceptance out of
ton. The objection that perhaps the
proposed lessee would not be able to
furnish security, is but bubble, as
the point of business could be ut once
settled by the demand.

Remedies for Emergencies.

Very few mothers are able to con-
troll their nerves so completely as to
keep from being startled when con-
fronted with cut finger dripping
blood and the loud cries that announce
a catastrophe. Sometimes she cannot
collect her thoughts sufficiently to re-
call any of the good remedies with
which she is familiar One way to
avoid this is to write out "a list of help
in trouble, and tack it upon the door
of your room, after the manner of no
tel regulations.
There is nothing better for cut
than powdered resin. Get a few
cents worth, pound it until it is quite
fine, and then put in an empty, clean
pepper or spice box with perforated
top; then you can easily sift it out on
the cut; put soft cloth around the
injured member, and wet it with cold
water once in a while. 1t will pre-
vent inflammation and soreness.
In doing up burn the main point
is to keep the air out of it. If sweet
oil and cotton are not at hand, take
cloth and spread dry flour over it. and
wrap the burned part in it.
1t is always well to have some SIM
pie remedies in the house, where you
can get them without a moments
