DIPTHEKIA.
Diptherla bas become an epidemic
In Xew York and Brooklyn, and in
deed in many of the Hudson River
towns, particularly in Albany. It ia
claimed that the disease has increased
frightfully by the common practice of
salting the streets in snowy weather.
It appeared in Alabany in the spring
ofl85S, and In that half of the city
which id situated south of State street
almost decimated the children be
tweeen two and seven years. Over
2,000 cases of the disease occurred in
the whole city during tho first ten
months of its prevalence, and 179
deaths are recorded from it. Since
that day it baa appeared as a local ep
idemic, and has raged with more or
less virulence in all the principal
towns and cities in the country. It
is fearfully prevalent now in Now
York and suburban cities and villages
carrying off hundreds per diem. The
diseape is so virulent in its nature
that the physicians find it difficult to
treat it successfully.
BUSINESS.
The first of February, merohants'
faces grow a shade lighter, for the
Spring trade opens, which, it Is hoped
will revive business from the depres
sion of the last two years. It is very
well understood that inflated prices
are things of the past, and to do bus
iness in future, a man must offer the
public something it wants, at the low
est prices, for economy Is growing
fashionable, and socially a grace is
made of a necessity. Merchants are
marking goods down unsparingly.
A. T. Stewart & Co., whoso figures
nro the thermometer of prices, began
their spring campaign by offering the
standard twilled wool dress fabrieo,
which sold last year at $1.00 a yard,
for 30 cents a difference by which
ono can measure tho tumble in the
value of most fabrics. In cotton goods
tho reduction is equally gratifying to
consumers ; Lonsdale muslin selling
for 12$ oents, and New York MHN,
the finest American brands, for 15
And yet croakers fear that the spirit
of the Republican institutions is los
ing Its force in this country. In
what other one, pray, Is a rndgh
tbreaded, full-bleached, and soft-finished,
taking tho needlo freely, sort
of a "blled-shirt," within reach of
every voter who goes to the polls ?
AMERICAN SHOES AND SILKS.
Even those who go abroad and
there are not a few who make light of
a winter voyogo across tho ocean are
beginning to appreciate home manu
facturers, as they deserve. I was sur
prised to hear a fastidious lady, late
from Europe, declare that the shoes
made in this couutry were better than
those she found cither in Londoner
Paris. The shape of the American
boots was more graceful than the Eng
lish, whioh were clumsy-looking, un
necessarily broad square, and short
In the ankle, while French shoes, of
good make were little, if any cheaper
than in New York.
American silks are steadily gaining
a national repute, like that of Irish
poplin, like it defying changes of time
aud fashion, always in style and favor
for its worth aud Intrinsic beauty. It
is the thing for ladles going abroad to
take dresses of American silk with
them, partly for the sake of home as
sociations, as tho Scotswoman takes
her clan tartan, or the Irishwoman
her Limerh k lace, but more because
no other fabrio stands the voyage as
well or Is as good a hotel toilet, always
sufficiently rich andsubdued.
Nor are these the only munufaetur
es which we have reason to esteem.
The late meeting of the American
china and pottery makers to take
measures for protecting and develop
ing their industries brought to light
the fact that the -finest clays and
china earths were more abundant in
this country than in Europe. Already
more than half the china in common
use is home-made, and a vast improve
ment we find this serai-opaque por
celain on tho old-fashioned stone
china and queensware. AH the va
rieties of ornamental ware are made
here, such as decorating tiles, majol-
lmitation wedirewood. It

or literary man who is brought so far
into .notice that the public demand to
know how he looks, and where he

he has done since he was of age to
speak, listen. Whatever pious or use
ful work 3ou do for the world, short
of taking a gun-boat fleet, or reaching
Wachtel's high C as a tenor, do not
expect to find an artist envoy at your
bedroom door, beseeching your pic

was once the case, but the pictorial
newspapers have changed all that.

The managers of public singers and
actresses pay for their pictures an a
part of the necessary advertising. It
Is a special vanity with manufacturers
to have pictures of their factories and
dortraits printed side by side Tho'
what good a print of long blank look
ing buildings, coupled with that of a
snub-noed, man, with hair brushed
into a perpendicular agony, as the
genuine crystaline, salt works and
proprietor, can do the business. Is one
of tho inscrutable mysteries known
only to the advertising clerk,
who pockets $50 for the operation.
Such Is life.
CRUELTY TO CHILDREN.
A sooiety has been Inaugurated in
New York for the prevention of cruel
ty to children, under the patronage of
many prominent and excellent per
sons. It will protect the child against
a brutal father, and try to save it
from a life of sin ond shame. It will
also shield the ill-used wife, and look
into cases where the officers of the
law have cruelly maltreated a
child. It isan excellent and
humane idea, and deserves every en
couragement, for in this rum-ridden
city there is more cruelty to women
and children than there is toauimals.
And the abused wife or child is just
as helpless as the abused horse. The
child cannot complain, and the wife
will not, for she knowathat when the
law has withdrawn its protection the
brute who beats her will beat her
again for complaining. The society
ought to have ample powers and am
ple funds.

for $o to $G a gallon.
Cognac brandy is made from French

al of Chemitry eays: Soak the feet
well in warm water, then with 6
sharp instrument pare off as much of
the corn as can be done without pain,
and bind up the part affected with a
piece of liuen and muslin thoroughly
saturated with sperm-oil, or. what is
belter, tho oil which floats upon the
surface of the pickle of herring and
mackeral. After three or four days
the dressing may be removed, and
the remaining dead cuticle removed
by scraping, when a new skin will be
found of a soft and health' texture
and less liable to the formation of a
new corn than before.
Things worth: Knowing. A bit
of glue dissolved in skim milk and
water will restore old crape. Half a
cranberry bound on a corn will soon
kill it. An inkstand wa9 turned over

HOW HE IS HOUSED.
The average Detroit youth sits up
late, and when six o'clock in the mor

Tho father depends on him to n.akea

Boy dreams of chasing a rabbit into
a hollow log, and while he is hunting

making the cars fly when the old

Boy moves uneasily, and dreams
that he is playing base ball, and he
s'es a crowd of admiring spectators
seated on the top rails of the fences.
"If that boy don't rouse I'll make
him think he's sent for !" mutters the
old man, aa ho looks at the clock ; and
then sitting up in bed he shouts:
"Oil. Sol! oh, Sol!"
The boy dreams that he Is loafing
around the Opera House door anil
boring people for "checks," and he is
about to get one when the old man
slips up, pulls the quilts off, hammers
away at him with the hair brush, and
chuckles:
"There! I guess j'ou won't want
me to wake you up more than four
teen times more !"
As the hojT pulls on his pants and
gets into his vest he mentally declares
that he'll run away that very day and

Suppose, my little lady,

The Lazy Little Boy.
Once upon a time there was a little boy who was
very lazy, and consequently very ignorant, whose faults
it seemed impossible to correct. Instead of going to
school, where his parents used to send him every day,
he would loiter about the streets, with his hands in his
pockets, his eyes staring vacantly at the empty air, or
clapping his hands, whistling, and making a good deal
of noise, without rhyme or reason. Or else, when
he was compelled to go straight to school, he Would
yawn awhile over his books, without making the least
effort to learn anything, and then, folding his arms on
his desk for a pillow, he would lay his head down and
sleep during the whole lesson.
One day, however, as he was squandering away his
time in his usual fashion, an old sage found him, took
him by the hand and led him into a large room, quite
empty of furniture or ornament. The little sluggard
was afraid at first that he was about to receive some
punishment for his laziness ; but the old man looked
so kind that he gained confidence, and when he saw
him smile he dreaded him no longer.
When they had entered the room, the wise man
shut the door ; then, turning to the little boy, who
was very much surprised at all this, he said ;
"Tell me, my child, if you can, what is nothing r"
The little fellow opened his eyes very wide, but did
not answer.
"If you do not understand me," said the wise man,
perhaps you can tell me where nothing is r"
"Where is it r" repeated the little boy, astonished at
this question. "Why, it is here, is it not? There is
nothing in this room besides ourselves."
"Think again," said the sage. "I do not think you
have answered wisely."
The little boy thought for several minutes ; and then
he said, with an air of confidence :
"There is nothing here besides ourselves ; I am sure
of it."
Without replying, the old man waved his hand.
"What do you feel now ?" he asked.
"Oh, I feel the wind," replied the little boy, laugh
ing.
"That is to say," replied the wise man, "you feel
the air." Now listen to what I am going to tell you.
This air that you feel envelopes or surrounds the whole
earth. There is no place where it does not enter ; for
it is found everywhere. You see, then, that there can
be no such thing as nothing in the whole world, since
every place, and all the room, is filled up with some
thing. It is the same throughout the universe. You
will nowhere be able to find nothing ; it is to be
found only in one place. Do you know where that
is :
"Why, no,"

replied the little boy. "If it is not to
be found in the world, I don't know, I am sure, where
to look for it."
"Well, I will tell you. What were you thinking of
before I spoke to you ?"
"Why, nothing."
"Nothing ! and why ? Is it not, r.iy child, because
you know nothing to think about ? because your head
is empty ? Oh, how many children are like you !
Know, my son, that nothing, properly speaking, is
only found in the brains of fools and the hearts of in
fidels 1 And since God has so well filled the world
that there is no place where we may not find some
thing good or beautiful, are you not ashamed to think
that in your mind alone there is an empty space ?"
The little boy did not reply, but he blushed for
shame. He thought seriously about the matter ; and
from that day he ceased to be indolent or careless.
He set to work studying with so much energy and per
severence that he became at last the most industrious
and well-informed scholar in the class.

I liave no aseiit, desir
ing to deal direct with the

lars as to price. But price aud
quality guaranteed to give sat
isfaction. Price to be as low as
any reliable Nurser can fur

the times.
Farmers, procure 3our trees
in the fall, when you have time
to go in person and select.

early in the spring and at odd
times before the spring work
crowds you.
