The police of this city were a little more busily engaged yesterday than us ual, and from all appearances they had a grand jolification, the cows running at large, occupying their spare-moments, and suffering in consequence.

' This is a good move on the part of the police and we trust they may not get tired of the job to soon. Mr. J. IS.

Since November 1 outbreaks of malig nant diphtheria have been reported from Bruincrd, Minn., Moline, III., New Or leans, Wubasb, Ind., Galesburg. 111., Coxackie, N. Y., Waterloo, Iowa, Ox ford Junction. Iowa, and several other places. During the month of October at Moline, III., there were '. casses and VI deaths, and during the first 1? days of November 41 cases, with a similar death-rate. In New Orleans diphtheria has been more than usually prevalent during the past few months. The extent to w hich it has prevailed in New Orleans of late months is something of a novelty for that city. The statistics of the board of In ulth show that the number of cases of diphtheria has been on the increase for several years past, and this year the yiruhiice of the disease has redoubled This fact, taken in conjunction with the almost total immunity from this trouble enjoyed in the past by this city, proves the existence in New Orleans of condi tions and unsanitary influences that di not previously prevail. in .ew Ui leans t tic disease is not par ticuiarly virulent In localities, hut is scattered all over the city, with exception of tli Carrollton district, where no cases have occurred. It lias attacked indis criiueneutly white and black, and has visited as well the homes of the rich as the abodes of poverty. The system of issolating the sick by flagging the dwell ings In which diphtheria exists has proved effective, as the number of casts is steadily diminishing, so that there is very prospect that the disease will soon be stamped out. During the first 10 days of August there were 09 cases, during iiKe period in reptemoer 77 cases, m cto' r .s cases, ami during the same numb -r cif davs in November but 44 cases were reported, Whilst fighting the dis ease the board of health has watched every detail That might throw light on the ciusjs producing it. AU infected pretni.-es have been thoroughly examined is to local and surrounding sanitary con dition', and all information has been carefully tabulated. The board of health officials complain of the utter indiffer ence :-!iovn by citizens generally to sani tary measures. This accusation, whilst probably just, is one that can be brought agaiiiot the citizens of many other com munities than New Orleans. In Wabash, Ind., more than a dozen deaths had occurred up to November 18. Disj);Ui hes frnm Wabash state that " the malady was at iirst thought bv local physicians to be membraneous croup,and was s.j treated, but at a council held it was decided that it was diphtheria. The scorf-j is eonhneti to children whose aires range from 1 to 10 years. I: very ca.-e has so far proved fatal, and the patient dy ing within two or three daj-s.. The sympt n:s are all similar to those seen in croup of the most mailgiiart form." At Oxford Junction, Iowa, the epi demic is now subdued, but while it lasted there were 100 cases and 42 deaths. At Waterloo, Iowa, the town officials issued a " quarantine" proclamation, closing indefinitely all schools, churches and Sun day schools, and ordering that all per sons .lying of the disease be burried within twenty-four hours.J At Coxssck-e,. N. Y.f diphtheria was spread in the following ii;nrjer: The body of a child, aged 1) years, who died at Gwilderland. was brought to that vil lage hi an open wagon November l0,not disinfected, and buFricd there. The co.'Iin was opened at the irrave and viewe I by the members of the family. Since ihe-; of those who viewed the body, an aunt died on the J?th, a brother aged 4, oa the 14th. The state board notified the hedrh officer that he must quarantine any persons affected with the disease. A dispatch of November 10 says: " Diphtheria is still raging in Galesburg, III. Many deaths are reported and many new cases are daily coming to light. The health ofijeers are making a thorough investigation as to it causes, and have just oinc to the conclusion that iue yjiter in ill. school building had something to do v. Iih it, and consequently have order ed it shut off." jjf.iiueria made its appearance in Yerniiilion county, 111., about November 14, and soon broke out in the village of ilo-sville. Cases exist in many families, The public schools were all closed on November 2-i. No religious seryices are bein held on Sundays, and no public mceling of any kind will be allowed for four weeks. Business ia retarded, and the thizens are greatly alarmed over the inalh"ianc? of the disease, but hope by strut measures to prevent its further spread. ljirmtnena is properly classed anions: the preventable diseases. Iu spite of this, and of the many and repeated outbreaks of . disease, two of the most difficult thin ;s known to sanitarian are to get the . rople interested in sanitary measures to in extent sufficient to assist hciiiil; jtri-'-T!. and to g-t the newspapers to Pri''t really valuable snnitary inforniH It seems to be a singular trait ot lll'U the ii'inian mind that m ikes people so blind to their own lest interots. Civil ized man can be touched most easily iU(.ih his pocketbook, and snnitary workfcis shc:;ld loose no opportunity of hov.i.ig the people what a go d invest ment, froru a financial point of yitgr. health service is.

E. O'Rik-y, of Omaha, thp consideration eiii.r aloiu 10,lRu. 1 iic location is considered one of the niost. promising in the city, and we consider Mr. O'Riley a very fortunate man in securing such a desirable lot. We have learned that it a hU intention to make good use of the property for lie has al ready signified his intentions of build ing a fine hotel on that corner. The proposed new building will cost some thing in the yicinify of 50,000, and for that amount a hotel coul 1 bevbuilt there which would add vastly to the general appearance of our Main street. As the city has been very much iu need of such an accommodati n for many years, we cannot sec but that the investment will be a profitable one in yarious ways. Mr. O'Hiley will taj;c possession on the first day of March next. Mr. Stadelmann has not 3et decided on his future course, but as he and his wife have resided in the city for many yeara and have received rich compensation for their industry, we trust that they may not then make up their nrnds to desert us. - The boo;n edition of the Journal, which has been looked for, for some time, has at last appeared.

NATIONAL BANK. the bliamus O linen ' company played to a fair house here last night, The impersonation of fetham us O'Brien by ylr. Verner, showed up the true Irish "laracter to perfection. His songs and .ticisms exhibited the Irish element in ciie assemblage and at times the audience is so affected by the artist's perfect ,vork that no sound but the voices of the actors could be heard. The piece sparkled with abundance of Irish wit, and the whole play represented the natural life of the Irish people at home as truly as possible. The sound of the Irish bag pipes introduced in the play, and the familiar tunes played upon them, almost brought some of the hoary headed Irish men in the audience to their feet, judg ing by the thumping the floor received. Mr. Jas. Ellington, and wife, an aged couple living near Rock Bluffs, narrowly escaped being killed yesterday afternoon by a runaway team. As they were driv ing over Fifth street hill, which has re cently been graded and opened up as a street, the mule timidity of the team was arotisrd at tlje sight of some object, and as they reached the bottom of the hill turned suddenly to the right aud ran as far as Fourth street along the ajley south of Main street. As they turned the old couple was thrown to the ground aud severely shaken up. The old gentleman's shoulder was dislocated by the fall, but the old lady received no other injuries than a few bruises. They were both for tunate to escape with their lives. The old gentleman is about sixty five or sev enty years of age. -The appointment of a city weigh- master in this city, whose duty it would be to m ike an official investigation of all weights and also to inspect all measures made of wood etc., would certainly be a benefit to the citizens at large who are obliged to pay dearly for what they get and occasionally what they don't git. The citizens are entitled to such an officer, and could well afford to pay him a handsome salary to do his duty. Now, it is the duty of the city fathers to ap point a man to fill such a position, and we feci certain that such a move would be heartily endorsed by the majority oi people who are occasionally obliged to suffer loi-s on account of the absence of such an ofliper.
