A narrative so full of picturesque incident reader along as by charm and fascina- tion. A history so pregnant with pure thought and high endeavor should awaken the sympathy and arouse the ambition of the most sluggish. A freedom which has cost so much sweat of brain and blood, so much treasure of money and life, should grow inexpressibly precious.

Prevention in Diphtheria.
Youths Companion,

Perhaps there is no infectious disease regarding the cure of which the med ical profession is more at sea thar diphtheria. New remedies are con. stantly vouched for in high quarters are extensively tried with large ex. pectations of success, and are finally discarded as ineffective. The old say ing that an ounce of prevention ii worth pound of cure is specially applicable hero.
 Dr. Caille, physician to a German hospital, New York, lately read before the New York Academy of Medicine a paper on the subject, which waf strongly approved by the members in general. We give its substance in brief.
 In some families one or more mem- bers have an attack of diphtheria ev- cry spring or autumn. It occurred to him that the microbes of the disease remained in the system in dormant condition, until some inflammation of the throat or nasal passages afforded a favorable opportunity for their de- velopment.
 To test this theory, he selected eight patients who had had the disease at least twice, and some of them a num- Der of times. He first had all bad teeth filled or extracted. He then directed the mouth to be rinsed, the throat gargled, and the nose cleansed three times day with certain disin- fecting solutions, except in summer, when the children were not subject to attack. The result has been that none of them have been attacked now for nearly three years.
 Though these cases are not enough for absolute proof, they at least show that one is little liable to diphtheria, if his mouth and nostrils are kept clean by means of antiseptic washes. A healthy throat bears the same rela- tion to diphtheria that healthy stomach does to cholera. Enlarged tonsils also increase the danger.
 Individual prevention is the more important, in view of the fact that, in a great city, the larger part of the peo- pie are unable to live in perfectly healthy dwellings, and the over heat ing of school houses is 8 constant source of peril.
 The president of the society, Dr. Jacobi, quite agreed with Dr. Caille. He further said that in case of an epi- demic appearing in neighborhood, the children with catarrh were especially liable to an attack. He added:
 "Diphtheris is like erysipelas. When there is an epidemic of erysipelas prevailing in any place, the slightest scratch is likely to induce an attack, while those who are free from any sore or abrasion of the surface escape" l"
 Dr. Seibert suggested, as supple ment to pr. Caille's excellent sugges- tions," the importance of keeping children's stomachs in good order, so that the mouth and tongue be clean. In his experience 8 furred tongue was alwas hot-bed for diphtheretic trouble, and he thought the candy shops in the vicinity of the public schools were responsible for 6 good deal of the diphtheria now so preva- lent

 The half breed population of the Hudson's Bay settlement have lived for generations under the paternal government of the company. They know little of any other life than that of hunting and fishiDg, 30 that what is most rare and curious to civilized people, is to them matter of every day experience. A visitor to Chur- chill on the Bay gives this account of the people living there: In conversation and manners they are very simple, plain, dull and quiet, and, in speaking with them, one is impressed with the dense ignorance of all things in which they live.
 Their knowledge of mechanics is confined to firearms and sailing craft. A steam engine is totally beyond their powers of comprehension. One of them, looking over the "Nep- tune's" machinery, thought it could not have been made by man; that it must have grown.
 was interrogated at some length by a Churchill half- breed above the average intelligence, concerning the proposed "locomoty," as he called it, that Canada was going to ''send" from Fort Garry to Churchill. He had nc idea whatever of 8 railway, and thought of the project as vast ma- chine, the movements of which might be hard to control, and dangerous in the extreme.
 "How high is a locomoty?" he asked.
 I told him, and then he observed:
 "I hears it is terrible thing to yell. Does it yell most in the day. time, or in nights?"
 My explanations were not intelli- gible .to him. He meditated for 8 while, and then broke out:
 "How does they fasten it2"
 l compared it, to some extent, with the engines of the "Neptune," but soon learned that l had made fatal mistake. The man is irrecoverably confused with the idea that a railway is sort of ship, and found it i'm possible to afford him any light on the subject.

Exchange.


 Sir James Brooke used to delight in telling an incident in a bear hunt which conveys confirmation of the wisdom of Davy Crockett's advice. One day native brought into camp, in Borneo, the news that huge bear had taken up his quarters near by, and 8 party was made up to go and attack the monster.
 Seven of us started; among others, one who was so blind, that without his glasses, he could not see ten yards. Our guide brought us to the almost dried bed of a stream filled with boulders. Presently he made sign, and we all mounted on the top of a boulder, and then saw, about fifty yards up the ravine, Bruin lying on the bank.
 When we came in sight he rose, and seeing retreat cut off by the steep hill, immediately rushed at us and began to chamber up the boulder. He was not ten yards of, and all but the blind man fired their guns at him. Scared by the volley he turned and fled, when, the glasses being adjusted, the purblind let fly at him, and the bear rolled over, just as he was half- way up the left bank.
 "His skin must be spoiled, ," said one
 "I put two balls into him." said an- other.
 But when they came to examine the body, they found but single shot, hole-all but the purblind had been too Hurried to aim accurately.

FL PAso, Texas, Oct. 3I.-The Mex ican Central passenger train due here a 7:es this morning, was held up sixty two miles below El Paso at 4:so thi! morning, by three'masked men. They came on to the engine over the tender and at the point of a six shooter forced the engineer and fireman to stof the train and get oil They uncoupled the train and left the passenger car and ran on six miles when they again stopped and robbed the express car, getting over two thousand dollars. The express messenger. M. T. Villegas, jumped out of the car at the side door while the robbers were breaking the end door, and ran of in the darkness with the keys to the safe. thus pre- venting the robbers from getting the valuable contents of the safe. The robbers then came on with the engine near Juarez, and there abandoned it l. They cut the telegraph wires, and it was nearly s o'clock before telegram was received at Jaurez, telling of the rob. bery. The robbers are Americans. and are supposed to have come across the river, but there IS no clew to them.

About Stanley.

Couriers from Tshora bring direct news from the Stanley expedition, g portion of which he met at the end ol November. 1887, by Arabs trading be tween lakes Victoria Nyanza, and Nsigne ard Tabora The Arabs mel Stanley's rear guard at point west oi Albert Nyanza, southeast of Zanza. The Arabs did not see Stanley. The detachment seen consisted of thirty men. They stated that Stanley was two days ahead. The expedition suf- tered greatly on marches through thick forest where it was impossible to ad
 vance more than one mile and quarter daily. They also suffered in marshe: where many disappeared or died. Fort, were drowned in crossing great river flowing from east to west. One white man had died. Stanley was obliged te fight some tribes that refused to supply him with provisions. The rear guard al the time met, had only been on the march five days. after halt of three weeks, due ts the illness of Stanley and a great part of the escort. who had beer attat ked with fever. The Arabs estimate the total strength of the expedition, after all losses, 25o men. The health o1 Stanley was then good. The rear guard which consisted of natives. stated that Stanley had decided he would no longer advance in a northeasterly direction but would strike toward the north hoping to avoid the swamps. After getting certain distance north he ir- tended to take an oblique line eastward and go straight to Wadeliai, where il was thought he would arrive in fifty day: later. about the middle of January. 1889. The Arabs are of the opinion that the expedition was still strong enough to reach Wadelia.
 Note-It will be remembered tha, August Ist information was received from Zanzibar that tive messengers had arrived there who left the interior about the beginning or April. and who reported Stanley had not arrived at Wadelia up to that time. The messen- ger stated that in the month of March Em,n Pasha did receive some vague and indecislve news ef the expidition, but reports W ere conflicting.

Now recollect that every voter is in his own right king; every voter in this country wears crown; every voter in this country has in his hand a scepter of authority; and every voter, poor or rich wears the purple of authority alike. Reco!lect it and theman tn at will sell his vote is the man that abdicates the American throne. The man that sells his vote strips himself of the imperial pur- pie, throws away the scepter and admits that he IS less than a man.

Here's the conclusion the Cedar Falls lIowa) Gazette editor has come to: "After much careful study of the danger and expense of attempting to husk corn this fall by shooting off the ears, we are of the opinion that it would be best to use ladders or make a platform on the top of the wagon box and use a long pole with hook on the end to pull the stalks down. When corn is not over sixteen to thirty feet high the ears can be reached in this way at less expense than to shoot them of with rifle. Next year a smaller variety can be planted"
