The Diphtheria Panic at White River
Junction.
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, May IS, 1855.
To the Editor of the Free Press and Times
Although at this time the excitement
here over the case of Michael O Brien is al
its highest point, we have concluded after
a careful Investigation that Mr.. O'Brer
did not consider that in opening the caske
containing the remains of his son, he was
doing an act of injustice to anyone, OF
even exposing anyone to diphtheria. The
case was only an ordinary one in the out
set, and, as both his attending and con
sulting physicians testify, there had no
been a trace of diphtheretic virus for at
least five days before his death. This re
suited from the disease leaving him in 81
exhausted a condition that his constitu
ton, which was never strong, was unabl,
to rally from it. We have before us copies
of certificates from two members of th'
Board Of Health stating that the case wa
one of ordinary diphtheria and we ais,
have those of the attending and consult
ing physicians to the same effect. w,
have not learned of any cases of diphtherii
here as yet and do not anticipate there viii
be any. ID.

NINETY y NINE.

On the Aletusch glacier saw a strange,
beautiful sight-the parable of the ninety
and nine reacted to the letter. One day
we were making our way with piek-aXe
and alpenstock down the glacier, when we
observed a flock of sheep following Their
Shepherds over the intricate ~windings be
tween c~reyices. and so passing from the
pastures ON the one side of the glacier to
the pastures on the other. The flock had
numbered two hundred all told, but on
the way one of the shepherds. in his
German patois, appealed to us if we had
seen it,. Fortunately, one of the party
had a field glass; with its aid we dis
covered the lost sheep in a tangle of bush
wood on the mountain side. 1t was beau
tiful to see how the shepherd. without a
word. left his hundred and ninety-nine
sheep on the glacier waste (knewing they
would stand there perfectly still and sate).
and went clambering back after the sheep
until he found it: and he actually put it on
his shoulder, and returned rejoicing. Here
was our Lords parable enacted before ouh
eyes. though the shepherd was all uncon-
sious of il. and it brought the Lord
teaching home to us with a yividness
which none can realize but those who saw
the ineident.-SpeRcer.

Sweets and bitters are really Utmost the
only tastes proper, almost the only ones
Disseminated by the central and truly gus
tatory region of the tongue and palate.
Most so-called lavorings will be found. on
strict examination. to be nothing more than
mixtures with those of certain smells. or
else of pungent. salty or alkaline matters,
distinguished as such by the tip of the
tongue. For instance, p~aradoxical as it
sounds to say SO, cinnamon has really no
taste at all, but only a smell. Nobody will
ever believe this on first hearing, but no.
thing on earth is easier than to put it to
the test. Take a small piece of cinnamon,
hold your nose tightly, rather high up, be-
tween the thumb and finger, and begin
chewing it. You will find that it is abso-
lutely tasteless; you are merely chewing a
perfectly insipid bit of bark. Then let 60
your nose. and you will find Immediately
that it tastes" strongly, though iii reality
it is only the perfume from it that you now
permit to rise into the smelling-chamber i'll
the nose. So, again, cloves have only a
pungent taste and a peculiar smell. and the
same is the case more or less with almost
all distinctive f%avorings. When you come
to find of what they are made up, they con-
sist generally of sweets or bitters, inter
mixed with certain ethereal perfumes, or
with pungent or acid tastes. or with both
or several such together. In this way a
comparatively small number of original ell
ements, variously combined, suffice to make
up the whole nor mass of %recogniza-
bly, different tastes and flavors.-GraHt IL

Gen. Grant is again reported to be
in a very shattered state of health.
He is suffering with neuralgia and
his tongue has become so inflamed
that he speaks and swallows with
difficulty. HIS son, Col. Fred Grant,
has made the following statement:
"My father is a very sick man.
There is no use in longer denying the
fact. We have made every effort to
keep the true facts from the public,
because we knew as soon as il should
BECOME known that he was danger
loTsly i'll there would be hundreds of
1etters coming in with every mail and
this would only excite him and make
his case less hopeful. My father has
had little rest for the past few nights.
He was up and about his room for a
little while yesterday and we hope to
get him up again to-day, but he is
suffering constant pain in the car and
head. For any facts concerning the
nature Of his disease l refer you to
his physicians"
Four physicians held consultation
in regard TO his case Saturday, and
all agreed that Gen. Grant could not
live longer than three months. lie is
now confined to his bed and the end
may be close at hand. z

President Arthur retires from his
high Office with the respect of the
people of all parties. lie has made a
conservative, just and good President
and has developed more of the quail
tiles of craftsmanship than any Of his
predecessors during the last twenty
years. One of the evidences of his
fairness and high sense of honor was
his persistent refusal to fill vacancies
with his personal friends upon the
eve of his retiracy from Office. He
has left a large number of important
vacancies to be filled by President
Cleveland with men who will be in
accord with the administration. But
the greatest service ex-Presidcnt Ar
thur has ever rendered the country
was in refusing TO help elect Jas. G..
Blaine to the Presidency. Democrats
should always think well of him for
this, if for nothing else. Upon retir-
ing from Office Mr.. Arthur will be-
come member of New York law

OBITUARY.

Died at his residence in this coun-
ty, at 7 o'clock p. NJ, Feb. 26th, DIR.
Il. f. Clardy, in the Attn year Of his
age.
The subject of this notice, DR..
Thomas Fleming Clardy was born
in the southern part of Christian Co.
Ky, June 30, 1913. Except two
years in Ballard county and the four
years of the Civil War, he has spent
his entire life in this county. After
receiving d fair education in the coun-
try schools, he was sent to George
town, Ky, where he graduated in
1858. Studied medicine with his
brother, DIR. j. d. Clardy, and re-
ceived the degree of NJ. d. from the
University of Pennsylvania in 1860.
Entered the Confederate service at
the beginning of the Civil war, as
surgeon of the 7th Ky. Infantry.
Was afterwards promoted to Sur
geon on Gen. A. Buford's staff, and
served to the close of the war. In
1865 he married Miss Samme, of
Missouri and settled in the southern
part Of this county, where he has
since lived. In addition 10 the ar
duous duties Of all extensive practice
in his profession, he gave personal
attention to his farm, and left his
family one Of the most beautiful and
charming homes in Southern
Kentucky to attest his energy and
taste.
lie embraced Christianity in early
life, and joined the Salem Baptist
Church, of which he has been con-
sistent faithful, working member,
and for many years an acting deacon
Conscientious in the discharge of ev-
cry duty, he was true to every trust,
faithful in the fulfillment of every
obligation of citizen, husband, father,
physician and friend. And the es-
TEEN and affection in which he
was held by those who knew and
loved him best, was attested by
the unpreceden ted gathering of the
community in which he lived to
pay the last sad rite to his memory.
With energy and will far beyond
his physical strength, he often minis
tered 10 others when he far more
needed help himself.
Liberal, generous, impulsive, al
ways ready to administer help when
human skill could do so, he will be
much missed, especially among the
poor TO whom administered with
unstinted hand. lie lived Chris
tian life and died with an undimmed
faith. His last utterance being tina
"all is WE'LL" On Saturday the 2Sth
inst, after a beautiful and apprO-
pirate funeral service by Rev. j. II.
Barrow, his wasted body was laid
away in the family burying ground
to rest in peace until summoned at
the great resurrection to join his
beautiful spirit gone before.
lie left a most devoted wife two
lovely children, many relatives and
an unnumbered host of friends to
mourn his loss. j. ID. G.
