that he is disappointed in the object OF his
trip. Mr.. Dalzcll believes that Mr.. Blaine
is sincere in his determination not to have
his name used in the convention and also
that he intends TO assist in the election OF
the nominee to the extent Of his physical
condition may permit.
Senator Chandler, commenting on Mr.,
Baine's letter, which was published this
morning, said that the letter was no sur
prise TO him; that many OF Mr.. Blaine's
friends had expected such action for some
time past.
The party both loses and gains by his
withdrawal. 1t loses the effect Of hisgreat
popularity on the Pacific coast and the
thousands Of votes he alone can gain from
Irish American Democrats. Ii loses also
the enthusiasm which his name would in

port OF the small percentage OF Republic
cans who are hostile 10 him. These being
rcconcled to the party 1t would be COM
paratiyely completely united, and this
union will give us Republican victory.

CAMARGo, Mex, Feb. 13.-Capt.
Samadrid, Of the Mexican army at the

the Mesquite ranch, about thirty leagues
from here, and captured vasquez,. noted
bandit who adrbroken his leg and was
there receiving surgical attention. Vas
quez was made p Goddess that his compan-
ions, the notorious cqt-throat Basalda and
the terrible brothers, Adolio and Antonio
Valligas, were in hiding near the ranch.
Capt. samadrid compelled Fernandez, the
proprietor of Mesquite ranch, TO guide his
troops to the hiding place Of the bandits,
but Fernandez treacherously led the SOL
diers in the wrong direction. When Sa-
madrid discovered that Fernandez had de-
ceived him he tied him TO tree and
ordered his men to riddle him with
bullets, which they did Notwithstanding
Fernandez repeatedly cried out that he
would give the soldiers SIC, 900 To save his
lie and release him. While this was
going on the bandits had been warned and
fled TO Texas. There is reason 10 believe
that not less than twenty notorious high
waymen are now safely rendezvoused at
the Guello ranch in Starr county Texas.

Chlidren's Friendships.

Children are apt to seek the society OF
other children at about the sixth year OF
their ages. This should be q watchful
period fer parents. as friendships contract
ed at this time have very decided influ.
ence on the mind, morals and manners of
their children. Nearly every child Is In.
fluenced for good or for evil through early
associations. If allowed to be constantly
with a nurse. their language and manners
willin nearly every case be indentical with
those of the nurse. A mother should
spend the greater portion of each day In
the society of her children If to rid her
self of their noise she permits them to
seek companionship outside she has no
one to blame but herself If their manners
and morals are corrupted. All children
require the companionship of those of
their own age, but it is very essential that
the parents should chose their compan
ions.

DIPHTHERIA'S HAVOC.
REPORT or THE NEW YORK STATE
BOARD OF HEALTH.

Important Facts Regarding the Prev
alence Of n Dreaded Scourge-sngges-
tions OF vital Interest 20 Everybody.
Nee ssity OF Observation-Disclosures
The annual report of the state board of
health presents some important facts re-
garding the prevalence of diphtheria-the
most important of the zymotic diseases.
Probably few persons are aware of the ex-
tent Of the havoc worked by this scourge.
For three years past almost exactly one
third of all the mortality from contagious
diseases has been due to it, and during the
past year the percentage showed slight
increase. During the winter months it
sometimes reaches nearly one-half the
mortality under this head The total
number of deaths from diphtheria has
been increasing during the past three
years, being 1000 out of so, 400 in 1885,
5000 out of SO, 800 in 1886, and during the
twelve months ending Dec /, 1887, cen
out of 96, 500.
ITS DEsTRUCTTvENEs9.
1t is more destructive than diarrhmal
diseases, which, in summer, cause two
thirds Of the deaths from zymotic dis
eases. 1t was especially prevalent during
last autumn, causing 42. 2 per cent. of the
deaths from zymotic diseases, but did not
reach the grim average of the preceding
winter, when it caused no less than 47.6
per cent of such deaths. Practically the
same state OF things exists in northern
states generally, and in the northern
countries of Europe
Investigations are steadily in progress
in all countries so afflicted, as to the
causes Of the disease and the possibility
OF restricting It, These all point to the
general fact that the persistence of the
disease is due to the presence OF
filth in some form. Epidemics in
villages and small towns, where the
sanitary conditions are more easily deter
mined than in the large cities, have
demonstrated this so often that it hardly
needs to be proved. Anything which
poisons air or water may be set down as
cause of diphtheria, and recent cases
have even brought milk within the cate
CORY of the agents of contagion. Lack of
drainage, and the contamination OF wells
and cellars by leaking cesspools, are
among the most obvious causes of con-
tagion. But there are others quite az
dangerous, which are commonly supposed
to be harmless The board reports that
there Is too great an indifference to the
danger from kitchen wastes, which is
quite as great as from more offensive ac-
cumulations. The New Jersey board of
health has also directed attention strongly
to neglected cellars as q cause of diph-
liberia. This is point Of great import
ance, for the air in the cellar viii surely
find its way up into the house. A vigil
lant cleanliness is the best preventive of
diphtheria.
