A Celebrated Paris Physician's Ideas.
The New York Herald publishes an
interview with Albert Robin, the cele
brated Paris physician, giving his ideas
as to the best treatment of the grip. He'
is reported as saying: '-'.i.'-
"A curious thing is noted, and that is
that in large cities Uis less intense than
in the smaller towns and villages. It at
tacks all temperaments, but old and fee
ble persons are the most severe suffer
ers. Children support the- malady bet
ter than adults. If influenza is especial
ly dangerous on account of the compli
cations that arise from it, it follows that
its true treatment is to avoid the latter.
These complications are pneumonia,
pulmonary congestion, weakness of the
nervous system and acidulous poisoning
of the blood. . T ajfOid such complica
tions the patient- should be i kept rlgor-
ously in, bed so long as there is the
slightest fever or the slightest cough;
Warm aromatic potioM should be given,
which induce perspiration, and by sweat
ing eliminate the toxic products that en
cumber the blood.
"I have determined, by the way, that
the sweat of a person suffering from in
fluenza is twelve times more tonic than
that of a person in a normal condition.
Weak doses of sulphate of quinine of
from twenty-five to fifty centigrams
should be given three times a day. The
reason is that large doses make the
patient sleep profoundly and destroy the
fever, but have no action whatever upon
the poisons circulating in the blood and
do not diminish their destructibility.
SmalI doses, on the contrary, given fre
quently, render more active exudation
and elimination of these poisons, which
are the source of the danger. Antipy-
rene, which is often recommended as a
specific for influenza, should be mis-'
trusted. This medicine depresses the
nervous system, closes the kidneys,
which are the principal mean's of elimi
nating animal poisons, and consequent
ly it is more harmful than useful. To:
sulphate of quinine should be added
alcohol in moderate doses in the form of
port wine or grog. r.v.. -.- , v
"It is necessary above all when fever
has disappeared-and the patient wishes
to go out and resume his usual occupa
tions to insist upon a convalescence in
doors for lrom four to eight days, ac
cording to the seriousness of the attack.
Such is the general treatment. If influ
enza becomes localized and 'affects any
particular organ a local, treatment
should accompany this general treat
ment. This is, of course, the affair of
the physician consulted, and cannot be
treated under the head of general indications."
-Tho. Brown Galloway.
Mr. Thos. B. Galloway, only son of
A. J: and L. J. Galloway, and grandson oi
Capt. T. N. Gautier, died m Goldsboro
last Monday, in the 25th year of his age.
The Goldsboro Ar?us, referring to his
death says: , "Gentle as a woman, amia
ble as a girl, dutiful and affectionate al
ways, the only" son of his parents, the
idolized brother of three sisters. May
the God of infinite love and all consola
tion succor and sustain them and give
them that comfort which can come
only from Him who gives and who takes
away."

Rae, Jno. Williams, Jno. Jackson and a

the evidence against them is almost

An Interesting Circular to Fruit and Pro-
dnce Growers.
The Fruitand Produce Trade Asso
ciation of New York have issued an ad
dress to the growers and shippers of
fruits and vegetables in- the Atlantic
Coast States, stating that, owing to the
enormous increase in truck and fruit
growing throughout the' Atlantic Coast
States, it has 5 become more apparent
each year to the receivers of the prop
erty here that packages of uniform size
are not only needed, but : imperatively
demanded. The circular says that the
inequality of size in package has been
annoying and embarrassing to commis
sion merchants and a loss to shippers
and growers. v
- The principal advantages of uniform
packagetare as follows: ?- First, the pro
perty couldTie handled here to decided
ly bettet advantage.' : Second, small
packages cost as much for freight as the
full size and sell for much less, propor
tionately, (because buyers are so preju
diced against them) thereby making
them very unprofitable to the shipper.
Third. different sizes require different
prices to correspond with the package,
the quality of the contents being the
same. Fourth, we are threatened with
adverse legislation in consequence, of
the irregularity of the packages in use.
- For these reasons we recommend the
immediate adoption as far as possible of
the round hooped .flour barrel' as the.
standard of. measure, with the barrel
crate equal in j capacity to the standard
barrel, rounded measure, and the half
barrel crate and third-barrel crate to be
proportionate parts of the standard crate
or barrel. : - ' t -
The dimensions of a standard flour
barrel are: Diameter of head, 17 iuches;
diameter of bilge, 19jS inches; length of
stave, 27 inches; length between heads,
25J inches, j

FIRE ACROSS THE RIVER.
A Big Blaze Caused by an Orer-Heated
Pitch Kettle. '
A pitch kettle at Mr. W. A. Martin's
naval stotes yard on the west side of the
river, opposite Market dock, took fire
yesterday about 2 o'clock p. m. The
fire burned fiercely and great volumes
of black smoke ascended rom it, creat
ing an impression that a grattfire was
in progress. An alarm turned m from
box 41 speedily brought assistance. The
steam fire-boat Marie with her powerf u
engines was soon at work subduing the
flames, and many members of the Fire
Department crossed the river to "lend
a hand." In the meantime the "Atlan
tic" engine was put on ji lighterand Ju
ried across. yT"-' '" ' :
, The firOjWas confined to Mr. Martin's
yard, and ih less than an hour was final
ly extinguished. About 150 barrels of
pitch were burned, with 100 empty bar
rels, 7,000 hoop poles and the shed over
the pitch kettle. The loss is estimated
at $400 and js. fully covered by insurance
with Messrs.' Hodges & Taylor.
-The fire was caused by the workmen
dipping a charge of pitch from the ket
tle while it was too hot.

reached them; to his astonishment, a
wild and ferocious wild-cat sprang from
a tree to the ground, almost at Col.
Shaw's feet. The animal was at once
attacked by five dogs and a desperate
fight ensued and lasted several minutes,
when Col. Shaw, perceiving that the
battle was likely to end in a victory for
the wild-cat, went to the assistance of
the dogs and with a few well directed
blows with a club ended the fight by
killingthe "varmint,"

COTTON FACTS AND FIGURES.
Receipts of cotton yesterday, 297
bales; receipts same date last year, 408
bales. ;
Spot cotton quiet in New York at
7c. for middling.- Wilmington quota
tions: Market dull and nominal at $c.
for middling. ,
Futures closed steady in IJewYork
with sales of 140,900 bales. January
opened at 6.99 and closed 7.03; Febru
ary, 7.05 and closed 7.10 ; March, 7.17
and closed 7.21 ; April, 7.28 and closed
7.33. ! j - - j
; Boston Co'mtner. Bulletin-. The mar
ket yesterday was more steady but the
revovery was slight. The receipts held
up to last year and the general average
estimate is 8,250,000, which, considering
the spinning quality, will nearly equal
the crop of last year, but some parties
look for a crop from 8.500.000 bales up.
The cotton mills are pretty well stocked
up but. they buy in a moderate way.
Liverpool is clogged. The most encour
aging feature is that cotton is' so low
that it has begun to. attract the attention
of outside capituists ana speculators, u
they buy to hold for a raise it will likely
benefit the market. .
