The county commissioners are now
engaged In the annual task Of equAlizlng
the valuation of property, never an
agreeable one, and this year especially
onerOus because the commissioners used
their best endeavors to raise the valua-
ton TO something near the figure il
should lie in order that the tax levy
might be kept as low as, possible.
They have found, thus lar,
. good deal Of unequal work, and the
roll will probably not be completed for
some days. There has been a very per
ceptible increase in the valuation nf
wild land, and It Is thought some of il
is assessed too high. In the city there
has been little Increase in the valuation
of personal property, while some If the
townships sho v marked increase.
II is thought the population In
the county will foot up in the
neighborhood Of $4,000, an increase
of three thousand over the estimated pop
ulIion Of q year ago, which shows 9
very healthy growth. This, .iDerease
gives several of the county officers a
larger salary, as their pay is graded on
population. The salary of the treasurer
will be increased $1,000 per year
county clerk, $500 per year; county at
torney, $500 year, making total of 81, 200

John B. Glover, United States consul
at HAvre: have thought for long
time that the French edict sgainst the
American hog product would be remov-
cd, but have been wholly disappointed.
When N. Ferry some time ago made q
speech at Havre, he said he was decided
ly with the people of that port on that
question. I supposed that bis influence
would bring about the repeal. The
French people in and about Hsyre re-
gard the verdic, a. 40 outrage, for which
there Is no reason whatever. Havre, be.
ing the great seaport, had used great
quantities Of pork and would do so again.
The inIerdict was brought about by the
spectators at Nantes, the great pork
headquarters. Every Investigation of
the pork has been favorable. The great
school Of pharmacy at Paris decided by
q vote Of 10 To that 1t was healthy food
and that II was ineKpedient to keep it
out of the country. Jules Ferry Is the
great man Of France. He has q level
head and holds the republic we'll in
hand. Gambetta was more dAshiBg.
Ferry Is tOlId. From my observation
the French republic has come TO stay.

Iodine for DIphtheria.

DR.. Il. P. Gauthier says IN Medical
Review: While at Natchez, Miss, in
the early part of 1865, was led, through
nv experience with an epidemic then and
there prevalent, to adopt the treatment l
propose to describe. During this cpl
demic about 100 cases of diphtheria
were successfully treated in the manner
about to be described. For some years
subsequent to my return to Illinois
treated all the cases encountered (hfty
in number) with complete success by
the same means, and have since treated
about $50 cases, all with the same salts
factory result, except In two cases where
death occurred, the patient being almost
mcribund when coming under treatment.
Previous 70 the adoption of the present
mode of treatment my results were by
no means as satisfactory, the disease
proving fatal in at least one-thlrd the
whole number of cases. The treatment
which has proved so successful in my
hands is as follows: The patient is or
dered tincture of iodine in ten or twelve
drop doses every hour, we'll diluted with
water, 80 long as the fever lasts, subse-
quently reducing II ten drops every two,
and finally eve-y three hours; local ap-
plIcation of the drug are made use of ct
the same time. These latter should be
made by the physician himself at least
twice day. For internal use, give
latterly, the decolorized tincture; bread
and starchY articles Of diet are at the
same time freely used. Such Is my
treatment.

English Customs ia the Middle Ages.

It was also possible for a woman to
purchase a royal license to marry
s'whom she would" always granted
with the proviso that it was not to be
one of the kings enemies. Widows
very often had recourse to this meas
ure; maidens more rarely. With the
former il might denote either an at
tachment to some particular person, or
. mere desire not to be forced into re-
marriage; but spinster who was not
nun was never heard of in the middle
ages. There were a very few old
bachelors-rare phenomena, but an old
maid was never seen outside the clois-
ter. The nearest approach to it was in
the case of a few ladies difficult to
please, who delayed marriage until
middle age was reached. 1t was rare
ly that this could be the case, since
they were seldom allowed to please
themselves. The color which was
pretty certain not to be worn at a we'd

deepest possible mourning, and was
worn by widows Immediately after
