Now, although this disease has been noticed by physicians for centuries- yet to. this day none are able to say certainly from whence it cape or what brought it. It is, however, probable that the symptoms of dip theria follow: only when an individu al has received, into the system a quantity of microsropic plant, named by scientists the "diphtheritic micro coccus, "i This plant is believed to exist everywhere, even in the human throat, and when these tissues become inflamed he micrococc, pass most easily into the blood, upon which they; feed and multiply rapidly and thus produce ' the symptoms of ."the disease. Sorehroat under any cir cumstances is a'svery vexatious com plaint,ebut the sore throat of diph theria is very much more distressing than that Ordinarily experience, and on account of the pain caused bythe act of swallowing the patient is very liable to. avoid food and drink and medicine as well,' and quickly falls into a prostrate condition, for which the abstinence and blood poisoning just mentioned will readily account This circumstance makes it desira ble that the maximum amourA of liq uid food should be administered to . 1 the patient in every possible way.

Any person who attempt to treat a case of this disease without an adequte idea of the gravity of the situation t.r of the mean hth arc best caculated to benefit the a tient assumes a great- responsibility'. But after all, some will be destroyed by the disease when nothing has been spared. The persous who . do ulti mately recover from this disease are apt to have a very protracted con valescence, during which' 'lacal pal sies" are frequently noticed. Defects of fight and hearing are also very common under' these circumstance. Phila. Tiuieg. ! rWTW fVow a Home .

"Washington, March 'J'.b Mem. bers' elect of the New-Mexico Legis lature, have sent to- iCeprecc utativr Springer,' to be presented in Congrens a meinorial charging that million of acres of land in New-Mexico and Col orado have been converted to private use. The memorial was prepared by O. P. McMains, a representative in the Legislature .of New-Mexico.

When people don't make their own supplies, but depend upon the If est, ,it can be expected with little reason that they will manufacture their own smoking tobacco and whiskey.
