The use Of "sang" phrases, so prevalent
among the young people Of these times is, indeed,
almost alarming. 1t is not only the conversation
Of boys and young men that such expressions are
constantly being heard, but girls and young la
dies even, often find occasion to make use Of ex-
pressions no less slang, but little more polite
perhaps. As soon as a new phrase of this nature
is originated, it goes from mouth to mouth until


it is worn out and dismissed for another and later
one. Persons of any become disgusted
but are obliged TO endure it. The expressions
increase rapidly, and no help becoming
familiar with some Of them. Victor Hugo tells
of language used among the lowest of bis coun-
try people that differs so much from the correct
mode of French speaking that the refined fnd it
impossible to understand it. America, If it con-
tnues ss now, may soon have a language OF
slang BY which one can converse, and have little
TO do with correct English.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTs.-
The New Orleans Democrat admits
that the matter of expense and prob
able political disturbance may be
reasonably urged as objection to a
nstitutional convention. The er-
rors of defective constitution may
be remedied by amendment, submit
ted through the Legislature to the
voters at the next general election,
with greater economy. Here is an
eminently practical suggestion at this
time. The people want rest from
a condition of almost ceaseless polltl-
cal agitation. They were led to ex-
peet it under the present admlnlstra-
ttion. The calling of a convention
would be simply putting all the office
seekers to work, and not a few bull
doxers beside, to Thea detriment OF

OUK COUNTRY If an angel could
descend from heaven to declare un-
der which government Of our world
the people enjoyed the most free
dom, and should be the most con
tented and happy, would most
unhesita,ingly promo Y favor
of the United States; for under it
man possesses all that is valuable
or desirable, all that can excite
grateful feelings and promote human
happiness.


What Is there that an American
citizen can desire that he does not
possess?


We cannot imagine single de
ficiency in his civil or religions
rights and privileges, nor does the
government offer the slightest OBJ
stacle to his pursuit OF happiness.
The road Of preferlnent is open to
all, and those who fail to reach dis
tinctlon must attribute their want of
success to their lack of energy and
perseverance, ard not to the inst,tu-
tons under which they live.


We have often wondered whether
human ingenuity could devise a
government more replete with AL
the elements of human progress and
happiness than that of the govern
ment under which we live, and yet,
with al this, our ears are ofttiple,
greeted with harsh words of dissat-
isfaction. 1t is necessary in every
country to have two opp )sing par
ties, to better guard the purity OF
It's administration, and such should
have bat one great and grand aim,
and that the welfare of the whole
people. The first grand object of a
good government is to promote the
happiness and welfare of its citizens.
The government has not done it,
duty if it neglects the education OF
its subjects, as that alone is a suf
ficient guarntee to perpetuity.

APPLETON, Wis, March 20. 1877.


SCARLET FEVER AND DIPHTHER1A
are the diseases now most preva-
lent in the State, in many pieces as
snming the form OF an epidemic of
great severity, and Of unusual fa-
tality.


Botlr~. these diseases are highly
contagious, and both of them are
properly classed among the pre-
ventable diseases, bat unfortunately
we have not for their prevention
any such specific as Vaccinatio has
proven to be for Small Pox. Eeli-
ance must then be placed upon the
less direct preventive measures bv
which W" M ~ reasonably hope to
stay the progress,


The State Board of Health de-
sires to impress the Importance OF
this matter upon our citizens, and
presents the following Sanitary


Rules, by the observance of which
the spread of these diseases may be
l@I ScIy pltftHCtu.


The contagious character of
SCARLET FEVER


is little less marked than that of Small
Pox, and like it, may be induced
by contact with it, or coming into
the presence of those who have the
disease, but it may be retained in
and conveyed by various articles
which have been subjected to the
infected atmosphere. In numerous
instances bedding or clothing, long
disused, have been the means OF
communicating the disease. In
like manner the infection may be
retained indefinitely in carpets, wall
paper or furniture. In these va
rious ways the disease may he con
veyed and communicated under cir
cumstances otherwise ineXpIicable
The contagious character Of the dis.
ease does net cease with its active
symptoms, but is perhaps peculiarly
great during the period when the
old skin is being thrown off, minute
particles Of which may adhere to the
clothing of the most casual visitor
and be thus conveyed directly from
the sick to the well. TO a great ex-
tent this danger may be lessened,
and the comfort of the patient at the
same time promoted, by thoroughly
and frequently amounting the whole
body, including the scalp, with some
fatty substance, such as lard or
olive oil, which mechanically i'm
prisons the particles OF skin as they
separate.


ScarIetina Scarlet Rash, Canker
Rash and Rash Fever are simply
other names fCr Scarlet Fever, and
there IS no safety in the popular be
lief that they are not dangerous.
No form Of Scarlet Fever is free
from danger, and the most severe
forms Of the disease may follow ex-
posure to the mi.dest.

as much as possible SO suspended or
spread out as to be most fully ex-
posed to the vapor.


in case of death the funeral SER
vice should be strictly private, and
the corpse should not be exposed
to view,D a neglect of which hui
name precaution has in numerous
instances cost the lives of sympa-
thizing friends.


To CORY out such measures
thoroughly, says DR.. Aitken, ire
quire wisdom and self denial on the
part of relatives and friends" But
if it were possible to begin to-
morrow and carry them out in every
case, Scarlet Fever would have
ceased to exist at the end of two
months, and it is possible or even
probable that it would never return.
II it be not possible to carry them
out fully, it is possible SO TO approx
innate thereto, as to save many of
the lives of our dear ones.


DIPHTHERA.


The contagion of diphtheria Is not
so strongly marked as that Of Scar
let Fever, yet sufficiently SO as TO
call for exercise of very great care.
The disease is spread by the exhala-
tons of the sick poisoning the air Of
the sick room, or by the direct con
tact OF the Diphtheria exudation,
which may adhere 10 infected ar
ticles, or it may be communicated
by splitting, sneez;ng or coughing,
not intrequentIy in the act OF kiss
ing one: who has simple sore
throat which is scarcely noticed,
may communicate virUlont Diph-
liberia to another.


The disease, usually spread in
some Of these ways, may also with
less certainty be spread by infected
clothing, or furniture or rooms, to
which the poison sometimes clings
with great tenacity and for long
time.


To check this so frequently fatal
disease, the same system of


ISOLATION AND DIsINFECTIoN
recommended for Scarlet Fever is
apple able, aud should be rigidly
enfoFced, and during the prevalence
Of the disease, no sore throat, how
ever apparently trivial, should be
neglected. Let the family physic-
i&n at once be consulted.


CLEANLINESS AND PURITY OF AIR ARE
The "DEADLY ENEMIES OF ALL


CoNTAGIoN."


Secure these for your children, with
pure water. wholesome food ard
comfortable clothing. Remove from
cellars and yards and alleys, every
kind and source Of filth; see that
drains and cesspools are in perfect
repair; that there be no leakage Of
foul gasses about your premises
and Won will DO very much to keep
from your homes not only Scarlet
Fever and Diphtheria, but diseases
OF every kind whether it be that
"pestilence which wa!keth in dark
ness" or that "destruution which
asteth at noon day"

No pains therefore should be
spared to prevent communication
with person sick with Scarlet Fe-
yer, but such person should be at
once confined to a we'll ventilated
room, the most remote from family
occupancy, Gan upper room if pos
slble) from which should be remov-
ed all carpets, rugs and unnecessary
furniture of every kind, and espe-
cially all kinds Of wooden. There
should be absolutely no visitors to
this room except the physicion and
necessary attendants, and this iso
latlon of the sick person should con
tinue until the roughness Of the skin,
due to its peeling off shall have dis
appeared.


During the sickness, some olsen
lectlng solution should be kept con-
stantly in the room, Chat recon-
mended by the n. Y. Board of

OF sulphate OF zinc, three ounces cf
Carbolic acid and three gallons OF
water) in which all infected OF
soiled clothing from the patient
first be soaked, and then boiled for
at least an hour, and it is recon-
mended that nurses wear only such
clothing as can be thus purified.
All infected clothing should be
kept separate from other clothing,
and washed by itself. 1t is better
if bits of rags which can be burned,
be used in place of handkerchief in
the sick room.


All discharges from the patients
body should first be covered with
the dislnfecting solution, then IN
stantly removed from the house.
