Once upon a time a certain man
got mad at the editor and stopped
his paper. The next week he sold
his corn at 2G cents below market
price. Then his property for taxes
because he didn't read the Sheriff S
sale. lie was arrested and fined IS
for hunting on Sunday, and he paid
$500 for lot of forged notes that
had been advertised for two weeks,
and the public cautioned not to
negotiate for them. He then paid
a big Irishman with a foot on him
like a forge hammer, to kick him
all the way down to the newspaper
Office, where he paid four years SUBJ
scriptlon in advance, and made the
editor sign an agreement to knock
him down and rob him if he ever
ordered his paper stopped again.
Such is life without a newspaper.

DIphtheria and its Treatment.
In view of the prevalence of diph-
liberia in many of the large cities
and smaller towns of the country
the Maryland State Board of Health
has issued pamphlet of instruc-
tions for the restriction and preven-
tion of this alarming disease, and
requests the press of the State to
give as much publicity to the meas
ures suggested as possible. AS
diphtheria exists in several sections
of this county, the advice of the
Board of Health is of great local
Importance.
After characterizing diphtheria
as dangerous contagious disease,
the most prominent precautions in
sisted upon by the Board of Health
are as follows:
Every child or young person with
sore throat, especially if accompa-
MED by fever, should be isolated
until the character of the disease is
determined; if it proves to be diph-
liberia. the patient should be COM
pletely separated from all persons
except attendants.
Notice should be placed upon the
premises, and no child, especially,
should be allowed to enter.
Immediate notice of the disease
should be given to the city Board
of Health.
Clothing, towels and bed linen
removed from the patient, before
being taken from the room, should
be immersed in a boIling-hot solu-
ton Of four ounces of sulphatc Of
zinc and two ounces Of common
salt in n gallon Of water.
Patients, nurses and attendants
should keep themselves clean as
possible; the hands should be fire.
qucntly washed in chlorinatcd soda.
No person recovering from diph-.
liberia shonld associate with Others
until such association shall have
been pronounced safe by physi-
clan, and until his clothing shall
have been disinfected; nor shoul /
any person living on the premises,
before they have been disinfected,
attend any public assembly.
The room, and its contents,
where there was a case Of diphtheria,
should be thoroughly disinfectea \
for several hours by strong sulphuE
fumes, and for several days there
after exposed to currents of fresh
air.

A mischievous boy in a German

A mischievous boy in a German
village school set fire to a mound of
meadow hay and the local magis-
trate ordered that he be sent to pri-
son for five days. Upon appeal to
the Emperor the sentence was
changed to five hours of school
punishment daily for five days, and
the six teachers at the school were
instructed to take turns at map,
ping out programme for the boy
and see that he faithfully carried it
out, The Prussian Teachers Jour
nal says it would like to know who
burned that hay-mound, the boy or

CONGRESS ought to repeal the Sher-
man law and stop this terrible delay.
It seems to us that precious time is
being wasted. Repeal the Sherman
law, because it is not good enough,
and then begin Oh another measure
for the free coinage of silver as soon
as possible We know that some say
that this is dangerous to silver, but
the Democratic party is pledged to
provide silver legislation, and we do
not believe the leaders Of the party
can be so unwise, SO unpolitic, and SO
undemOcratic as to disregard this plain
and unqualified pledge that was made
at Chicago last year, to which Mr..
Cleveland subscribed his name and
gave his written promise to carry out
to the letter that part Of the pledge.

Late Trains.

1t is a great inconvenience to the
travelling public to be obliged to wait
at the depot an hour beyond the time
for the train to arrive. We learn that
the reason for the delay every morning
is that the mail train has to resolve
itself into log train below the June
ton. Now, it is evident that the rail-
road company are not keeping the con-
tract they made with the travelling
public when they proposed to carry
passengers If one takes passage on a
freight train, he cannot grumble, if
be does not reach his destination at
the appointed time; but when he
travels on what claims to be passen-
ger train, he has right to expect to
be carried according to schedule time.
L is due the public for the company
to run according to schedule.

A man by the name of Cochran, an
employee of the Philadelphia mint, stole
from the vaults 5000 ounces of gold
bullion, and the fact has just leaked
out After he was caught, he said he
-ook it because he was only getting a
$4,000 salary and that was not enough.
Judging from the amount that he took
he evidently thinks his services were
very valuable We suppose they will
call it "kleptomania," which is the
fashionable word for stealing, and thus
ease up some on the rogue. We think
that kleptomaniacs ought to be treated
