UiDhtheria,

Quite discovery in the treatment of
diphtheria has been made. Ayoung man
whose arm had been amputated, was at
tackled by diphtheria before healing took
place, and instead of the matter from
that disease being deposited in the
throat, the greater portion appeared on
the wounded arm, and the disease was
very light and easily managed. DR..
Davis, of Mankato, profted by this. and
in his next case of diphtheria blistered
his patients chest, and on the blistered
part the chief deposits appeared. This
was also an easy ease. The theory of
DR.. Davis is that diphtheria usually ap-
pears in the throat because of the thin
ness of the lining of the throat. Hence,
when the blister breaks the skin upon
any other part of the body, the disease
appears there.

Breaking of Bad Habits.

TO break off bad habits, understand
the reason and all the reasons why the
habit is injurious. Study the subject
until there is no lingering doubt in your
mind. Avoid the places. the persons
and the thoughts that load to the tempt
alton. Frequent the place, associate with
the persons, indulgein thoughts that leat'
away from the temptation. Keep busy
idleness is the strength of bad habits.
Do not give up the struggle when you
have broken your resolution once, twice,
a thousand times. That only shows
how much need there is for you to strive.
When you have broken your resolution,
just think the matter over, and endeav-
or to understand why it is you failed, so
that you may be ON your guard against a
recurrence of the same circumstances
Do not think that it is an easy thing that
you have undertaken. II is folly 10 ex-
pect to break off bad habit in a day
which may have been gathering for long
years.

The end of all education is that
highest of all possible ends, the disci-
pline of man for the battle Of life,-dis-
cipline in body, in intellect, in the NOR
al nature. Great powers of body or of
intellect, divorced from integrity of the
moral nature, only make the greater viii
lians. Education, if divorced from q
healthy moral sentiment, is rather Q
curse than blessing.
To STAIN WooD BRowN.-Get an ounce
each of catechu and bichromate OF pot
ash. Then carefully break the catechu
which is blackish gum-like substance
into small fragments, place it in glass
or earthenware vessel, with piece of
washing soda as large as walnut, and
pour upon it pint of boiling water, and
stir until dissolved. Put the bichromate
in a bottle with pint Of cold water, and
dissolve with occasional shaking. Paint
over the woodwork to be stained, first
with the eatechu solution, and lot it dry;
it will be of a dull, dirty brown. When
dry 20 over it with the solution of bichro-
mate, and it will turn to a very rich
chestnut brown. By varying the strength
Of thc solutions, the depth Of color will
DC varied. When quite dry, apply shellac
1r other varnish. Very cheap, easily ap-
piled and satisfactory.
A valuable dog belonged to a gentle
man, who intrusted one of his farm SER
Tants with the key of the barn, from.
whence he occasionally brought sacks of
flour to the house for the use of the
family. One night this man wickedly
stole sack of corn for the use of his own
household, little thinking that the dog,
which knew him SO we'll, and watched
and followed him SO quietly, would in
terfere with his guilty plan.
All went smoothly until the thief,
leaving his masters premises, turned
into the road tnat led to the village,
when the shrewd animal, suspecting
that all was not right, seized him by the
leg, and, without hurting him in the
least, held him tightly till the morning.
Unable to account for his awkward posi-
ton, the culprit was obliged to confess
his crime.
The USE OF BRooM.-As SIMPLE as
che advice may seem, but very few peo-
pie handle broom properly, although
they are accustomed to sweep more or
less every day of their lives. There is
science in handling broom, as ", II as
in many other kinds of labor. 4 ways
draw your broom, by leaning the l. .ndle
forward, because the position o. the
broom will take the dirt along more
gently; it will sweep cleaner; it W | not
wear out the carpet SO fast. Your broom
will be kept in proper shape and not
half SO much dust will be raised to be
afterward wiped from your furniture.
Most carelesssw sweepers thrust their broom
forward of them in sort of digging way
with the handle inclining towards them.
This way you will find breaks your
broom, firts up more dust, and makes
the process of sweeping much mora
mborieus.

English Ivy.

English ivy will succeed better in our
dry, warm rooms than almost any other
plant, and requires very little care. Ii 2
year-old plants are secured they will be-
gin to run after that time. 1t is not nee
essary to give the plant large pot or to
change this often. Good, rich loam and
plenty of water is all that is required.
Move the pot as little as possible. Once
a week wipe off all the leaves carefully
with large wet sponge, fastened to long
stick. AS the ivy does not require sun
light it can be grown anywhere, and
makes charming framework for doors,
windows and pictures. Sometimes it is
planted in large tubs and trained up
stairway, forming mass Of green foliage
from the hall below to the floor above.

To the Ladies of Mississippi.

1t is not necessary, feel assured,
to impress upon the ladies of the
State the necessity of contributing
everything in their power to the
Exposition in New Orleans, for the
honor and success of the Mississip-
pi exhibit. A western gentleman
remarked to me once "the women
of the remote Southern States have
no taste for art of any kind; they
know nothing of it, and care less"
Let our art display in New Orleans
rebuke this slander and prove all
such opinions to be ignerantly based.
We will have visitors from all parts
of the Union and from many parts
of Europe, and every son and
daughter of Mississippi should, to
the utmost, endeavor to show to the
world her varied resources, which
need only the fostering influence of
capital to make her foremost in
every industry.
1t would be praise worthy to fol-
low the example of the ladies of
Natchez, who have organized for the
encouragement of any interest that
may be felt in art, agriculture, and
those industries that are embraced
in woman's peculiar domain. l have
been appointed to receive and for
ward works of art, and l hope to
find myself responsible for a large
collection of the evidences of talent
in our State. I appeal to every
student of painting, sculpture,
pottery making or decorating unique
productions of every kind, which
cannot be specified, for contribution.
Slabs of our native wood, polished
with the tree, flower and fruit OF
each painted on it, with a cross Sec
tion of the tree accompanying it,
would be a valuable contribution.
Wishing you God speed in this
work, for the glory of Mississippi,
/ am respectfully,
MRs. III. d. MONEY.

Worth Millions.

Daniel bennett, of Mississippi,
agricultural editor of the New Or
leans Picayune, says:
The press is curse to a State
when it apologies for crime and
lawlessness, and attacks aud SLAM
ders the true friend of law and true
progress.
"lf the entire press of Mississippi
would labor as hard for the a9ricul-
tural and manufacturing interest OF
the State as it does for the Demo
cratic party, the influence would be
worth millions year to our people.
How much does the press benefit
the State by continually lionizing a
party that is strong enough to stand
and 60 alone, without the aid of the
press? The people need educating
up to higher plane on the indus
tries of the country, and the most
convenient and the cheapest school
master is the press"

The Supreme court of Iowa re-
fused to grant a divorce to woman
with a drunken husband for the
following reason: "She does not
show that her personal safety or even
her well being requires her to leave
him. She doubtless would have
lived more comfortably in the
society of a sober man, but she
ought to have considered, and
doubtless did consider, the discom-
forts of a druken husband when she
married the defendant. But, she
urges, he promised reformation be-
fore marriage. His failure to keep
his promise did not justify her in
deserting him. All the world knows
that such promises made by q
drunken man are always broken
In few words, as she knowingly
married a drunkard, she must be
content to be drunkard's wife,"

The Chalmers-Manning Case.

The Mississippi State offciali
gave Mr.. Manning the certificate o
election, but the House Committed
on Elections acknowledged in theil
report that Mr.. Chalmers was elect
ed. The minority of the Committee
however, submitted a report 10 the
House as q substitute for the major.
ity report. The test vote was taken
on the following resolution Of the
minority:
Resolved, That the means and meth
ods employed by the Federal AdIninistra-
ton in securing the election of Jas. r.
Chalmers as q member of the House of
Representatives of the Forty-eighth Con-
gress are, as appears by the majority re-
port and the evidence on file, repugnant
to and subversive of true representative
government, and the said election is
therefore declared void.
Only Sc members (including
Barksdale, Money, Muldrow, Single
ton, and Van Eaton, of Mississippi)
voted for this resolution; 162 mem
bers voted against it; and los were
absent and not voting, some Of the
latter being paired and Others per-
haps dodging the vote. We do not
believe Mr.. Manning could have
secured a half a dozen votes in favor
of proposition that he was elected.
Mr.. Cook, of Iowa, who presented
the majority report, said: "It was
not a question, whether Manning
or Chalmers was elected, for even if
all the statements made in Man
ning's reply to the notice of contest
had been true, they would not have
shown that he had any right what
ever to the seat which had been
awarded him BY THE FRAUDULENT
ACTION OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE
OF MISSISSIPPI, WHICH HAD BEEN CoUN
TENANCED BY THE GOVERNOR OF THAT
STATE"

Gather up the Relics.

The Louisville Exposition of 1884
desires to make an exhibit of Federal
and Confederate relics of the late
war. aud for this purpose has ap-
pointed appropriate committees.
All persons having such articles
which they are willing to contribute
or loan for this purpose are re-
quested to communicate with the
committee. Federal soldiers who
have captured articles of this char
acter are requested to aid the under
taking. The. Louisville Exposition
is to be conducted on even grander
scale than last year. Il will repre-
sent the arts, the industries and the
products OF Kentucky and the South,
while the exhibits from the North
will illustrate the activity and ener-
gy that has made that section SO
powerful and wealthy.

The Schools and Colleges of Mis-
sissippi.

A correspondent writing to the
New Orleans Picayune very truly
says that Mississippi is extending
her educational facilities every
year. Her colleges and male and
female high schools are annually
finishing up great numbers of her
sons aud daughters, who at once
become CO. workers with all who la
Dor for the best interests of the
State. And her best colleges and
schools now admit lady students,
whose progress and department
have justified all that their IN ost ap-
preciative friends have claimed for
them. Mississippi will be among
the first Southern States to grant TO
women all their rights, to elevate
them to the position to which they
are entitled. The female industrial
college, which is to be established
by law of the Legislature, stands
as good chance to be success as
any other new college in the South.
The pride and ambition of the la
dies will be staked on it's success,
and their public spirit will never
permit failure to be stamped on the
doors of the institution. 1t was a
wise thing in the Mississippi Legis-
lature to provide for the education
of Mississippi women to help build
up and enrich the State. The no
BILE women of the State will do their
share in helping repair the damage
inflicted by the war, and in rescuing
the State from the blighting ipflu-
enees of whisky and infidelity. BY
educating the women their influ-
ence for good will be greatly in
creased, and that influence will be
felt all over the State.

Mississippi College.

This college is located at Clinton,
HiLds county, Miss, and is under
the auspices of the Baptist denomi-
nation of Mississippi. 1t is the
oldest college in the State, having
just closed its thirty-fourth session,
with 210 students on its register.
The college is doing efficient work.
Its graduates are an honor to their
Alma Mater. The young men that
attend the Theological Seminary at
Louisville, Ky, from Mississippi
College are among the most scholarly
there. What they know they know
well and accurately. Such was the
expressed Judgment of the Rev. DR..
Whitsitt, a professor in the semi
nary.
The college deserves special con-
sideration from parents for another
reason. The moral influence is not
only refined but it is pure-not
merely in name, but in fact. A
young man must do right and
pursue his studies with vigor and
earnestness, or, sever his connection
with the college. Clinton has fewer
temptations than, perhaps, any town
in the State. Rarely have seen
deeper solicitude to guard the morals
of young men than 1 saw during my
four days visit of the commencement
exercises of this institution. Her
glory is IN. the character of her
alumni.-Sunamit Correspondence
