specifies the ratio of representation,
the disposition ofa one-half, ,three-iifths,
and four-ffth fractional ratio in any
county, prohibits the division of any

only forty-nine Constitutional districts

the latter are in majority. But the

The anti-free pass bill, says the

in the House yesterday. The Consti-

cess of legislation to enforce the con.
stitutional prohibition. The Members
generally are more prompt to use a free
pass than to pass an anti-free pass bill.

Prevention end Cure.
PROM the Philadelphia Record.

FROM the Philadelphia Record
An ounce Of prevention is worth a
pound of cure. In no way is the Wis
dom of prevention more apparent
than in dealing with disease. In these
advanced days of medical science ply
sicians are giving "a much attention
to the prevention of disease as to its
treatment. 1t is with this end in view
that they urge the importance of sani.
tary measures-the necessity of prop.
er ventilation, perfect drainage, whole.
some food and judicious clothing. But
particularly are their efforts directed
to the repression Of contagious deseas-
es, and especially to those which are
incident to childhood. Among these
none is so much dreaded az scarlet
fever, and justly, too, for none of the
eruptive diseases is so fatal in its re-
suits. IL is, then, desirable that every
one should know how best 10 check its
progress, and that they should faith
fully and conscientiously make use Of
such knowledge for the protection Of
humanity. A writer in a foreign
newspaper gives some rules calculated
to limit the spread Of scarle fever,
which appear 20 be reasonable. More

entitled Substitute for Brandy by
DR.. Ridge, Of London who has had
large experience in the uon.alcohojc
treatment of disease in connection
with the London temperance hospital,
in which, referring to the profound
conviction in the public mind, iucIud.
iug, also, the medical profession, that
spirits, and especially brandy, are Of
great value in many diseases, both
chronic aud acute, he affirm, that "in
effect, other things being equal, a per.
son has n bctcr chance OF recovery
without alcohol than with it, lie al.
so says One Of the most easily re-.
mcmbcrcd rules is that when n suh.ii.
tute is required for brandy as mar.
cotic, apply warmth externally 4:
when for brandy as a so.calIed -limu.
lent, give hot drinks internally" He
adds As a .t.mulcut pure and sim.
pie there IL nothing acts SO rapidly
and powerfully as hot water, milk
and water, tea, etc, or nou.alcoholic
peppermint, or ginger in hot water"
The article, as a whole, is ii nelly and
valuable, and will help many, even Of
temperance people, to feel that they
can safely dispense with alcohol, even
"a a remedial agent in sickness. De.
thronned in this particular, alcohol
may then be much more readily and
ctIectually banished as n beverage

Anecdotes of Judge Black

As an illustration of the wonderful
cor ersatio nal powers of Judge Black,
an Erie gentleman who was acquaint-
ed with all the parties concerned tells
the following interesting anecdote
During the administration of Gov.
Bigler Henry l.. Dietlenbach was
Superintendent of Public Schools and
he and Judge Black were very inti-
mate friends. One summer day Gov.
Dodge, of Iowa, n prominent man at
that time, being on his way home from
Washington, stopped oHat Harrisburg
aud walked up to the capital grounds
to pay Supt. Diefienbach visit.
While the two were seated near win.
dow in conversation n voice was heard
calling frorl the walk below:
"Deilenbach
The superintendent looked out and
the voice continued: : SAY, throw me
down n chew of tobacco -
A generous chew was cut of, wrap.
ped up in piece Of paper and thrown
out. As the party walked away Gen.
Dodge got a good view of him. lie
was large plain looking man care
lcssly dressed, and was in the act of
throwing the paper away after hav.
ing put the tobacco into his mouth.
"N,ho is that man ~ asked the
General, when the figure had gotten
far enough away rs not to overhear.
"That is our Chief Justice, Jcremi-
nh :. Black was the reply.
Gen. Dodge took another look at
the retiring form and said
"Well, YOU must be pretty hard up
for Chief Justices in this state
an introduce YOU to him the first
chance | get, +" replied Dieiienbach in
his quiet way, " and see what you
think of him
Shortly after this the two went to
what j. now the Bolton House for
supper. After the meal, they were
sitting in the reading room, when
Judge Black came along and Gen.
Dodge was introduced to him. Diet.
fenbach left the two together and went
away. Before returning. however, he
looked around for his guest; but not
finding him, he went to bed. The
next morning, getting up rather ear
lier than usual, about six O'Clock, he
was astonishcd to find Gen. Dodge
pacing up and down the floor Of the
reading room.
General you're an early riser said
he.
The General replied with the great.
est enthusiasm depicted on his couute.
nance:
That Chief Justice of yours is the
greatest man ! ever met. Why, do
you know, I've been up all night talk.

Other anecdotes of the eminent iu-
rist are published from which We give
the following
One day Judge Black was sur.
rounded by a bevy of hi. personal
friends on the floor Of the House
among the rest Judge Mercur, then the
Bradford Congressman. who turned TO
him and said Judge Black. you
have more friends on this side of the
House than on your own. You ought
to be a Republican. Ii YOU would
join US we would appreciate YOU aud
give you due prominence, ~ To which
Judge Black made reply that he
knew it all to be true; the Republic.
ans were good fellows he would like
to belong to them, and there was only
one thing in the way. II, said he,
there were no hereafter ! would Join
the Republican party at once. Moth.
