Companion of Boston employs the same

ment and instruction of a superior order
for so low a price. Among its contribu
tes are Dinah Muloeh Craik, Miss Yonge,

Henry W. Longfellow, Wuu Culleu Bry-

uprightly, entertaining reading, it has no

Dr. E. X. Chapman, of Brooklyn, N.
Y:, has 4'scovered an. antidote to the
loisonof diphtberia, by Avhich the per
centaffc of deaths is reduced to less than
one in fifty. Statistics show that the per
centage of recoveries in cases treated un
der the usual practice is about thirteen,
or eighty-seven out of a hundred suffer
ers succumb to the fell disease.
Diphtheria first appeared in thisj'oun-
trv in 18.18. Dr. Chapman, n laoV, los
several cases, and became distrustful of
the regular Jiiethods. He had been hsing
alcohol in the cure of ship-fever, and he
detenninedfthougli contrary to-all rules,
to try it in. diphtheria. He then tried
quinia, and found it acted well, but not
so quickly. At last he settled on a combina
tion of the two, alcohol and quinia and with
these remedies, he claims that diphtheria
is more amenable to treatment than many
common diseases. In an eoidemic, such
as diphtheria, all arc affected by thg mor
bific agent ; but a few only yield to it.
Mature, vigorous persons- have vitality
enough to resist the disease. Children
and weakly adults are its usual subjects.
Dr. Chapman considers that there is, al
most always, super-added a local and di
rect exciting cause, such as defective ex
ercise, improper diet, dark rooms, damp
houses, imperfect ventilation-and poisou-
ous sewer pipes, etc. To such "agencies
the strongest constitution will soon suc
cumb. The blood being deteriorated, its
crisis is impaired aud its vitality lowered;
and then the sympathetic nerves, failing
to receive due stimulus, waver in their
efforts to carry" oii the animal functions.
"All local treatment," he says, "is worse
tlmu useless. It exhausts the nerve force
and induces greater injection of the blood
vessels, thus favoring the exudation.
"Alcohol neutralizes the diphtheritic
poison, sets free the nerves of animal life,
subdues the fever aud inflammation, de
stroys the pabulum that sustains the
membrane, cuts short tlie disease,
conquers its sequela?, and shieldsother
members of the family from an attack.
Upon the subsidence rf the fever, as is
usually the case iir from twenty-four to
thirty-six hours, a prurulent secretion be
gins to loosen the membrane, and soon,
thereafter, to detach it in flaky, ragged
fragments. This process may take place,
and recovery be possible, even when the
larvnx and trachea are implicated. The
membrane is seldom renewed, when this
secretion is maintained by a steady use
of the: remedy. Alcohol is a& antagonistic
to diphtheria as belladonna to opium, or
quinia. to malaria. Like any other anti
dote, it must be given promptly at the
outset, or otherwise its potency will be
lessened, perhaps lost altogether.
"Alcohol does not act as a stimulant,
nor induco any of its ordinary effects.
Enough may be given, to cause profound
intoxication in health, and yet there exists
no signs of excitement or odor in the
Quinia is all efticient alloy to alcohol.
It energizes the ganglionic limou sys
tem, and thus enables the organism to
ri"ht itself and resume its function.
Dr. Chapman sustains his position by
citing numerous cases. in which his treat
ment was successful. He states that, in
his long experience, he only knew of one
case where a drunkard had diphtheria.

humble, unpretentious lives, and who
without making it known to the world
arc daily doing a vast amount of good
among their fellow-men.
And, is it strange to say these men lead
very liappy lives aud as a rule successful

he will suffer for his lack of honesty.

Commutation ok Skstexce. Govern
or Vance has commuted the sentence of
Allen Carter, who was sentenced to be
hung at Rockingham, on the 16th to im
prisonment for life in the penitentiary.
Iu 1865 Carter murdered Bushrod Lilly,
of Stanly county, and fled to Arkansas,
where lie lived for ten years. In 1S;V
upon a requistion of the Governor of this
State, he was brought back. At the Fall
term, 1876, of Richmond court he was
convicted and sentenced to be hanged.
An appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court, which sustained the judgment of
the lower court. At the Spring term 1877,
of Richmond court he was resentenced to
be hung on the 31st of August. On the 28th
of August he was reprieved until October
12th. On the 5th of October he was agaiu
reprieved until the 16th of the present
month. The feeling in this section by
a great many is that Carter should have
suffered the sentence of the court. P. D.

"THEY ALL DO IT.''
There are few books that comprise
as much vicious teaomng wiuuu a space
of four or five hundred pages as is con
tained iu this little phrase, "tliey all do
it," which has been placarded on the bill
boards, and called iuto the ears of the
public for some time past. This is the
one sentence which takes the courage
completely out of youth, searing their
Gallows, Claim Yoi n Owx. At the
close of the war, when the negroes and
Radicals took possession of the State, they
at ouce tore dowu the whipping post, in
terdicted it by military authority, and
with great solemnity in convention ex
pugned it from the statutes as a "relic of
barbarism.'" But they overlooked the
fact that the gibbet was much older in
barbaric annals than the pillory. We ac
count for this upon some twinges of con
science, and a rememberance of deeds
that merited a "hugging of the widow.'1
This is what troubled tlie hit terday -Saints
auotit the fact and instigated its immedi

shielded by the loose training of an over-

Prom the Wilmington Democrat.
We are the special advocate of any pro
ject which will build up aud enrich Xorth
Carolina, and increase her influence iu
the great family of States. That she may
become wealthy and influential, it is ab
solutely necessary that her seaports and
centres of trade shall be fostered, aud
their facilities iucreased. There can be
no great State, with commanding influ
ence, which has no city of wealth and popu
lation. Xo town or seaport-can grow into
a ijreat city unless it is linked to the inte
rior by navagable water communication,
or is the terminus or centre of a railroad
system. It is impossible to make any
city iu Xorth Carolina such railroad ter
minus aud centre now, and Wilmington
is the only seaport thaj can command the
navagable water communication. She has
a river navagable to Fayetteville now.
That -navagation as we showed last week,
can be extended through the entire State
to the very, foot of the mountains, by the
State cutting a canal from the Cape Fear,
at Fayetteville, trj the Yadkin river. If
the State will 'put the "convicts upon the
work and complete it, in less than a de
cade from its completion the population of
Wilmington will quadruple, and her bus
iness increase ten fold, aud Xorth Caroli
na will take the position among her sisters
to which her climate and the variety and
exceeding richness of her resources so
eminently entitle her. The work to which
we advert would be worth more to the
State than every other work of internal
improvement within her borders, because
it would develop the resources of a large
portion of her territory, giving the cheap-
est transportation possible to tho Whole
northwestern portion of the State, and
bringing the produce to her own seaport
city, enrich herself, and add to her own im
portance and influence. We hope the next
Legislature will look iuto the matter and
inaugurate measures for its accomplish
ment, if it is practicable, as we fully be
lieve it is.
Other States Finaller amounts; though little
Connecticut raises nearly half as much as
Xorth Carolina. And which Slate yields the
lowest average per acre? Xorih Carolina
Hei 550 lbs. contrasts tUrcngly with 1,640 lbs
per acre in Massachusetts, and 1,380 lbs. in
Pennsylvania. But it beautifully illustrated
the profit of skilled culture. Pennsylvania, for
instance, on 9f56o acres raises nearly as much
as North Carolina on 29,500 acres; and Indiana
on 22,000 acres actually beats us.

HOW THE DEACON LOST HIS
MONEY.
There are yet living a few people who
do not know of the ways of this wicked
world. Deacon of our county is
one ot tuese. euuesuay, waucienng
about the circus tent in a iaze of stupe
fvinir reflections, his ear caught the gold
n words of the "gift man." The go
deacon was attracted to the spot and here
s his tale :
"Well, I saw him put the sixty dollars
u a envelope, and laj- it in the pile. I
was sure ot it. i reaciieu ior my pocwet
book and handed him three $10 bills, the
price asked for a pick at the pile, keeping
my eye on the particular envelope all the
time. After I planked dowu my money,
he told me to "draw away." Aii : you
wicked circus man, I'll teach you a lesson
this time,' I thought as I drew the covet
ed envelope from the pile, opened it, and
great Jerusalem ! uot a cent in it. The
boys cried out, "sold agin old 'uu aud got
the tin" but the loss of my :J0.00 made
me too despondent to enjoy the joke."
Another citizen of our county lost 40.
00 at the same game. Directly alter los
ing this sum, lie was so infatuated with
the game, that he tried to borrow $100.
00 to trv his luck again. Fortunately no
one had that sum to lend him. People
Lwho are so easily mislead as to try and
beat a sharper at his own game, have no
sympathy from us. A moral these victims
have learned is that it is a bad policy to
release a bird from the hand to catch a
