DR.. N. d. Rankin gives in The Pitts
burgh Medical journal for October n
brief account of an epidemic of typhoid
fever recently prevalent in Allegheny
City, which is of considerable interest
as illustrating n mode of causation of
this disease which has rarely been
identified in this country. There were
in all forty cases scattered through
three different wards. The physicians
were at first disposed to attribute the
cause of the disease TO foul emnations
from dumping-grounds in the vicinity,
BUTT was finally suggested that every
family in which typhoid fever had oc-
cured was supplied by the same milk
man. When this fact was made known
TO tho physician of the board of health
of the city, he at once inspected the
premises of the milkman, and found
the following state of affairs; The
dwelling and stable were situated on
the side of n hill, the well from which
the water for his family as well as for
his cows was obtained being about
fifty feet from the privy vault, which is
higher up the hill than the well. The
privy vault was full. There was al
the time OF tho investigation, and had
been for several weeks case of ty'
phoid fever in the house. Examination
of the we'll water showed that it was
contaminated with organic matter o
animal origin and many living or
ganisms. There would seem to be lit
tic doubt, therefore, that the typhoiC
infection was spread by the milk.

The following account of the Comte
do Chambord's manner OF receiving
visitors is part OF Miss Anna Bicknelrs S
illustrated paper in the December
Century on "rhe Pretenders to the
French Throne: He is said to have
been more man of science and learn
ING than politician or statesman; his
tastes are quiet, his habits were retired,
and almost too simple for his position
for those who think that princes should
not forget the old saying that majesty
without its externals is a jest, and that
they must not be too much like other
people.
This tho Comte de Chambord recog-
nized. and in his home there was just
enough of necessary etiquette to mark
the chief of the royal line. His table
had the simplicity of private home;
but all was served on massive plate,
engraved with the heraldic lleur-delis
of the Bourbons. When dinner was
announced, the Count and Countess
walked out first and took the center
plates at the dinner-table; the visitors
who were especially honored were
placed on the left OF the Count and
the right of tho Countess. These seats
of honor were differently filled at every
meal, by a graceful innovation of the
host, that all might enjoy the privilege
in turn. No one ventured to address
him, but his kindness enabled every
one to have an opportunity of convers-
inc with him. In the case of any Wis
itor of note, ke was honored with a
private interview in the study of the
Comte dc Chambord, who delighted
in prolonged conversation and free
discussion of every topic. The inter
view lasted during the pleasure of the
royal host, who gave permission to re-
tire by significant smile and bend
motioning as if about to rise, but
without actually leaving his seat.
The Comte de Paris, on the con
trary, lives exactly like a private
individual, and valves all etiquette
He is considered to be personally de
void of all ambition, but anxious to dc
what might be considered his duty"

The Election Tidal wave. .

New York, THE Post says the
November tidal wave has not
wholly spent its force, judging from
the results of some of the local cleo
lions in this state yesterday. In
Utica the democratic candidate for
mayor was elected by an unanimous
vote; the Oneida County board of
supervisors is democratic by fifteen
majority, and last year it was repub-
lican by two majority. In Roches-
ter, the democrats elect the mayor
and hold their own in the board of
supervisors. In Erie County, the
democrats have gained five towns
and the republicans three, a net
gain of two for the former. In CO.
lumbia County, fourteen demo-
cratic and seven republican
supervisors are chosen.
Last year there were eleven demo-
Gratis and eleven republicans. Upon
the whole the results of these local
elections must be added many other
signs that the republican party
will scarcely recover its lost ground
by mere reaction to which some
of its leaders have been trusting.
