AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION.
The Chief Destroyer of Disease


The best medical authority in San Fran
cisco recommended bichloride of mercury,
commonly known as corrosive sublimate,
as the cheapest. most powerful and efficient
disinfectant that can be used. The fol-
lowing is an extract from a long article in
the Exchange explanatory of the effect and
manner Of using this disinfectant:
BIchloride of mercury is inodorous, not
volatile, and cannot be taken into the
system through the inspired air. and will
show poisonous effects only when swal-
lowed, or used very carelessly on the skin,
or injected into the blood.
1t destroys foul smells, and is cheap in
comparison with carbolic acid. It is
undoubtedly the most powerful practical
BILE germicide known. For use in privies
it possesses great advantages over car
bolic acid and chloride of lime. The
latter are volatile, and not only disagree
able and injurious to the air passages when
used in efficient quantities in privies, but
from their volatility pass very quickly into
the atmosphere and lose strength and
disinfect only the surface of the foul mass,
while corrosive sublimate is kept in solu-
ton by the chloride of sodium, or common
salt, in the urin. and thereby slowly per.
meates the whole feculent mass, even to
the very bottom Of the privy vault, killing
all of the germs on its way down, thus pre-.
venting any redevelopement of disease
from germs remaining from one year to
another.
The following is a good formula for
making the disinfection:
Bichloride OF mercury. l par,
Choloride OF sodium or common
D parts
Pure water, to make. go. 500. 100 parts
This should not be made in metallic yes.
sells, nor with metallic instruments, as the
bichloride will corrode and destroy them
and to that extent Injuries it's own powers.
1t can easily be dissolved in boiling water
in a barrel with a wooden faucet, and
drawn off in wooden or earthen vessels for
use in privies.
Care should be taken that none of the
solution is left about the house, as it is per.
fectly clear, but very poisonous, and might
be taken by mistake for water by children
or other persons.
Care should also be taken when using il
for disinfecting not to wet the hands, as il
hardens the skin and causes them to chap
badly.
Its powers of c%orroding metals should be
remembered when using it in privies OF
water closets furnished with metallic waste
| pipes, as the pipes would soon be damaged

The SENTINEL is pleased to speak a word
or two in regard to the candidacy Of W. S.
Beard for the Office Of County Recorder,
whose formal announcement TO that effect
appears elsewhere in this mornings paper.
Mr.. Beard has served for two years as
Deputy Postmaster, in which office he has
made an army of friends and has shown
himself to be possessed OF such clerical
ability as to be worthy OF important public
trust. Gentlemen who know about 1t say,
very much to his credit, that he is but
little, if any at all, behind his predecessor,
NJ. G. C~avanaugh. in attending to the
postal affairs Of Uncle Sam. Now then,
there being no objection to the eternal
fitness of things, and following precedent),
why can't Mr.. Beard become Recorder as
Mr.. Cavanaugh became Clerk? There is
this about it, that Brother Beard, (for-
merly Of the quill. you know, il the Grand
Old Party puts him to the front, will
allow no grass to grow under mis- feet but
will keep the trail hot. Sail in Brother
Beard, aud may the devil take the hind
most,

Yesterday afternoon, while the 9-year-
old daughter Of John Bosanko, foreman OF
the Eureka Con-, was playing with some
other children on the fiat below New
Town, she was struck by a shot from a
small rifle carelsssly discharged by some
unknown person in the neighborhood
The missile entered the lower part of the
thigh from behind and passing nearly
through lodged under the skin in front
DR.. Thoma was called to the patient be,
tween 5 and 6 o'clock in the afternoon and
relieved her Of the bullet, by which the
outraged father thinks he can ferret out
the Needless person who discharged It,
Fortunately the young miss is not likely
to suffer more han the pains OF a flesh
wound as the result of the shot; but the
incident should serve to impress sports
men with the necessity of being extremely
careful in the use Of their pistols and rifles
while practicing or otherwise.

problem in molecular physics is raised by
the operation OF a buzz saw Tor, rather,
wheel without teeth for severing bars and
shafts OF ironi devised by an American in
ventor. 1t seems that when a disc Of steel
is caused to reyolve at a high rate of speed,
nearly, but not quite, in contact with q
bar of iron revolving in the same direction
at a lower rate, the latter is almost instsn-
t~aneously cut in twain, although there is
no contact action Of the two metals. Drops
of melted iron fall rapidly while the pro-
cess is going on, but they are not hot,
though liquid.

election did not prove very interesting,
outside OF the Second Ward. A few old
settlers, who want to vote all the time,

there were two tickets out-that Foley and
Woodburn had friends who were working
for delegates TO the convention; and they
didn't seem to be working very earnestly
At $3.50 P. NJ. only SO votes had been cast
in the Second Ward, 90 in the Third, AZ in
the First, and 81 in the Fourth. The
votes cast seemed to be evenly divided be-
tween the WOODBURY. and Foley delegates

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Letters Placed fn the POstOfice
Cannot be Recalled.


This interesting question was brought
before Judge Van Hoesen in the Court OF
Common Pleas the other day, by the suit
OF J. Allard d Co., bankers of Europe, to
prevent the delivery to Morgan's Sons or
to Mr.. Drexon, their assignee, of three
registered letters containing coupons and
money amounting to more than $50, 900.
When the plaintiff learned Of the suspen-
sion of the house OF Morgan's Sons, they
cabled both to that firm and to Postmaster
Pearson, demanding that the letters be
delivered to their agents in New York
City, Heidbach, Ickelheimer IL Co., but
Postmaster Pearson promptly replied that
the letters must be delivered to the
persons to whom they were sd-
dressed, and Morgan's Sons asserted
that they had no power to comply
with the request, having made an assign
ment. Suit was brought against both
Postmaster Pearson and Morgan's Sons,
but Judge Van Hoesen ordered the letters
to be delivered to assignee Dixon, and
directed him to open them and deliver
copies Of them and all their contents to
the agent Of the plaintiffs. A letter
once dropped into the Postofice ann be
recalled, and Judge Van Hoesen's decision
does not conflict with that doctrine. 1t
appearing that the contents of the letters
were sent to Morgan's SOM only as agents
for the disbursement OF the property, the
Judge directed that the money be given to
the agents designated by its owner. No
authority exists to withhold q lawful letter
from the hands Of the person 10 whom il
is addressed, when once it has been put in
the mails.

Gan,f Get Him In.

The Keystone says that the great excite
ment at Sawtooth, for this season at least,
is the capturing and caging of a large bear,
on the creek below town. The old prowler
was caught in a trap, and in order to pre-
serve hin in all the glory Of his native
wildness, a cage was constructed OF iron
and wood and taken to the trap. but at
latest accounts the bear persistently re-
fused to enter the new domicile, although
the population of the village was campins
around there in force, afraid to approach
within reach of the angry monster.

The FoOtracer's Lot Not a Happy

SANTA Rosa, Aug. 26.-This afternoon at
the race track a footrace for 500 q side
was run by Harmon and Walter Lubbock,
a distance of rs yards. Lubbock was al
lowed six feet start, and o by about the
same distance. Time, Ia seconds. The
attendance was large, and the betting,
principally by sporting men, was in favor
OF Harmon by large odds. The result
displeased the losers, and Harmon's
trainer. Frenchy, took occasion to knock
Harmon down with a club at the conclu-
sion Of the race. Harmon was chased
off the grounds by the enraged sports. and
only escaped further chastisement by get
ting into a hack, which was driven rap
idly TO town. He left his clothes behind,
which were afterwards attached together
with his money and watch, by the men
who had loaned him money. The sports
claim that Harmon threw the race.

counts that Mrs. Blaine's father forced
Blaine at the point of a shotgun to marry

were simply impossible, ss her father died
in January, 1845. He Dsver knew nor saw

his death that her sister, Miss Stanwood,
now Mrs. Blaine, met Blaine for the first

nm riding along, weaving sermon Of
the threads of sentiment with which

humps and lays me on the ground. l
got used to this, though, and would
never have complained, but when the

me and staving me in tho ribs with
his feet, why l was in duty to myself,
bound to make motion for change
Of venue. l am much welded to the

ers, but unless you furnish me horse
why you will simply have to erase my

mean any disrespcct to our worthy
Bishop, but blame mule, anyhow.
