NEW YORK, Dec. 9, 1876.
‘ POLITICAL. ' _
Hayes is certainly elected, and the people
breathe freer. The relief from the chance
that the general government would be deliv-
ered over to the-unrepentant rebels of the
South and theHPIugUincs (Ifk'the North, is
immense, and will be followed by an imme-
diate revival of business. The democratic
place hunters here in New York are terribly
demoralizecl and disgruntled, and are as ven-
omous as rattle-snakes. They want to bite
something, and they don’t care much what.
They talk of war and bloodshed, and rivers
of blood, and are Generally gory. I was
amused at the New York Hotel last night.
A prominent Southern colonel (the New
.York is a Southern headquarters here) was
conversing with a prominent New York
democrat "I suppose we ’are going to be
counted out," sighed the New Yorker. “I
suppose so,” was the reply of the Southerner.
“But, Colonel, are we going to submit?” ‘-‘I
guess we are,” was the quiet reply. “Never!
The South will never submitpnor had she
ought to. The South will raise the standard
of revolt against this usurpation, and the
democracy of the North will rally to their
aid, and—” “No it won’t do anything of
the kind,” was the Colonel’s reply. “Judge,
once before the democracy of the South re-
v0 1; d on just such promises. _ In 1861 I re-
volted and did it because you wrote, and I
have your letter yet, that the democracy of
the North would stand by us, and you—I reg
member it well—assured me in a letter that
if Massachusetts troo s undertook to go
through New York they would have to march
over your body to cross to Jersey City. They
did pass through the city, and if they'all
[ramped over your body you are a tough one.
At times I thought there was over a million
of ’em. I think I saw your name as a Vice-
President of a war meeting—I know you
sent substitutes to fight against us every time
you were drafted. N0, Judge, if you want
any wan—you didn’t see any of it and don’t
understand it—yon raise the standard of re-
volt and we will help you. As for me I have
had enough of it; 1 can live under Hayes—
he is a pretty good man—I. know he is a
mighty good soldier, ’cause I tried bima good
. many times. If you want war you are en-
tirely welcome to start it—I have had enough
of it, I thank you.” - .
The Southern men are more reasonable
than the New York democrats, and are much
less inflammatory in their talk. What the
hotspurs may do in the South, of course no
one can tell, but the class that come here are
anything but fire-eaters. Hayes is elected—
he will be inaugurated, and he will give the
country so good a government that a year
from now the people will wonder that they
ever wanted any one else. And the democ-
racy, after they have had their bluster, will
acquisesce, like little men. '
onsnrnr.
Monday week a monument to the memory
of Horace Greeley was erected over his grave
in Greenwood Cemetery. A very large num-
ber of distinguished men were fiesent to do
honor to the great journalist. It is singular,
though, how little of a man’s work survives
him. Horace Greeley controlled 9. paper
which, at one time, was the most influential
in the country. He was one of the principal
founders of the Republican. party, one of the
chief promoters of the temperance cause, and
tlie'head and front of all schemes 01' philan-
thropy and prOgress. Age brought disap-
pointment; disappointment soured him, an
ambition, which a busy life had kept in sub-
jection, asserted itself when he had not the
strength to keep it under, bad men played
with him; and he fell. His paper got into
other keeping, and despite the efforts of
those still connected with it—-who loved the old
man and would have been loyal to his memo-
ry—it was turned into devtous paths. It was
almost everything for several years that Hor-
ace Greeley would not have had it, and only
within a year-has got back into its old moor-
ings. And Greeley himself died poor. I-Iis
paper was supposed to have been making
millions, but when he, the corner-stone of
the fabric, crumbled out, it was found to be
as empty as an egg-shell. He had but little,
his partners went into bankruptcy, and the
property, heavily mortgaged, passed into
other hands. And its history since has been
one of financial trouble, though the manage-
ment have made a splendid fight against tlie
misfortunes that enveloped them. It is a
magnificent paper, and if it can be kept
steady in its present course, as the representa
' tive of the advanced thought of the city and
country, it will come out all rig‘ t. But who
can tell? Who knows whose money is behind
it, and everybody knows what power money
has. And speaking of newspapers, it is a
mistake to suppose that a newsapper in New
York is a gold mine. The Herald, the Post,
the Commercial Advertiser, and the Sun are
making money. The World has always sunk
money, the Times makes something, but
more by its real estate than the paper; the
Tribune is holding about even, and with the
rest it is a struggle with mortgages. It cost
a million of dollars to establish the Times,
and ,the amount sunk to establish new papers
here, is fearful.
rasmoxs.
Odd, comfortable-looking long sacques,
shaped loosely to the body and covering al-
most the entire dress, are worn by girls in
their teens as aschool wrap; the material is
dark gray undressed cloth. Tne newest‘bon-
nets have high peaked crowns with hardly
any brim, a full pleating of velvet and lace
taking its place. The trimming now, as ever,
makes the bonnet. Broad scarfs of silk or
velvet must be laid in many folds about the
crown, full plumes and bows soften the out-
line, or the high bonnets are the poorest-look-
ing things imaginable. The new bonnets for
children, are dark-brown or prune-colored
velvet, in the high shape, without any brim
except a pleating of silk raveled on the edge,
and a lace frill beneath, which gives the
breadth of an ordinary brim. The most ele-
gant hats are deep maroon velvet, trimmed
with roses, shading from pink to crimson,
and loops of dark crimson ribbon. The light
scarlet, often called cardinal, looks vulgar in
the extreme.
run coxrnousnsnir.
John Kelly, (Boss Kelly), has been ap-
pointed Controller iu place of Andrew H.
Green, and was promptly confirmed by the
democratic Aldermen. Kelly is the head of
that association of thieves, Tammany, and
is also of the gin-mill faction. He is a more
dangerous man than Tweed, because, while
just as unscrupulous, he is a more able man,
and has the gin-mills in better training. This
action of the Mayor is a complete surrender of
the city to its worst elements. The strikers
are in ecstacy, and good men mourn.
rim BETS.
John Morrissey has declared all bets on the
Presidency off. and is returning the money
he holds—a million and a half—to the right-
ful owners. What the others will do no one
knows.
ters that instead of declaring the bets “off,”
they will take themselves off. They are all
shaky. Pisrno.
Turnstiles like those of the Centennial en-
trance ways, are being adopted by the ferry
boat companies of New York.
A Kentucky backwoodsman recently saw
a wagon for the first time, and he watched
it closely, supposing that inevitably the hind
wheels would overtake the , s ler fore
wheels and “smash up the w darned
riggin’.” ;.
.TheiBui-lington Hawkeye says:“0ne of the
discovmes made b the latest Artic explorers
a that the length 0 the polar night is 142
days. ‘ What a heavenly place that would be
in which to tell a man with a bill to call
around day after to-morrow and get his mon-
ey.” This is a case of the ruling passion
strong in debt.
Thereis a fear on the part of bet!
Some Facts and Suggestions Re-
garding Diphtheria.
The following report of the sanitary com-
mittee of the board of health ,of New York
city upon diphtheria was approved and
published by the board, December lst, 1874:
Diphtheria is caused by the inoculation of
the air passages with the diphtheretic poison,
which, from this point, infects the whole sys-
tem ; the local inflammation is attended by
the formation of membrane (exudation); the
fevers-ind general symptoms are the result of
this local infection.
.now ir SPREADS.
Diphtheria is, therefore, a contagious dis-
case (not perhaps as marked as scarlet fever)
induced by contact with persons and objects
infected. It may be diffused by the exhala-
tions of the sick,by the air surrounding them,
or directly by the exudation communicated
in the act of kissing, coughing, spitting,
sneezing, or by the infected articles used, as
towels, napkins, handkerchiefs, etc. The
poison clings with great tenacity to certain
places, rooms and houses, where it may occa-
sion cases after the lapse of months.
SYMPTOMS.
In ordinary attacks the poison begins to
act the moment it lodges upon the tissues,
but like a vaccination, causes but slight sen-
sible effects in two to five days ; then there
is marked prostration, dryness of throat, and
prick'ng pain in swallowing ; the throat be-
comes red, and patches of white exudation
appear, and the glands of the neck swell.
In mild cases these symptoms subside on the
third or fourth day from 111. i: appearance ; if
more severe, these symptoms may be pro-
10 lged ; if unfavorable, the fever increasr s
the local inflamation spreads, and exhaustion
rapidly follows.
rnsmsrosixo coxnirloxs;
The Pcrson—Diptheria attacks by prefer-
ence children between the ages of one and
ten years (the greatest mortality being in the
second, third and fourth year); children of
feeble constitution, and those weakened by
previous sickness ; and those suffering from
catarrh, croup, and other forms of throat af-
fections. ,
Social Relations—All classes are liable to
diphtheria where it is prevailing, but those
suffer most who live on low, wet grounds;_in
houses with imperfect drains or surrounded
by offensive matters, as privies, decaying ani-
mal or vegetable refuse; in (lamp rooms, as
cellars ; in overcrowded and unventilatcd
apartments.
Seasons—Diphtheria is not affected by
eitherheat or cold, drought or rain.
PRECAUTIONS.
The dwelling or Apartment—Cleanliness
in and around the dwelling, and pure air in
living and sleeping rooms, are of the most
importance, where any contagious disease is
prevailing, as cleanliness tends both to pre-
vent and mitigate it. Every kind and source
of filth around and in the house should be
thoroughly removed ; cellars and foul areas
should be. cleaned and disinfected ; drains
should be put inperfect repair ; dirty walls
and ceilings should belime~washed,and every
room should be thoroughly ventilated
Apartments which have been occupied by
persons sick with diphtheria should be
cleansed with disinfectants ; ceilings lime
washed, and woodwork painted; the carpets,
bed-clothing, upholstered furniture, etc., ex-
posed many days to fresh air and the sun
jected to high degrees of heat should be thus
disinfected); such rooms should be exposed
to currents of fresh air for at least one week
before re-occupation.
When Diphtheria is Prevailing—No child
should be allowed to kiss strange children
nor those suffering from sore throat 5 (the
disgusting custom of compelling children to
kiss every visitor is a well-contrived
method of propagating other grave diseases
than diphtheria); nor should it sleep with,
nor be confined in rooms occupied by, or use
articles, as toys. taken in the mouth, hand-
kerchiefs, etc, belonging to children having
sore throat, croup, 0r catarrh. If the weath-
er is cold, the child should be warmly clad
with flannels. .
“’hcn diphtheria is in the house or in the
family—The well children should be scrupu-
lously kept apart from she sick, in dry, well
aired rooms, and every possible source of in-
fection through the air, by ‘ personal contact
with the sick, and by articles used about
them or in their rooms, should be rigidly
guarded. Every attack of sore throat,congh
and catarrh should be at once attended to ;
the feeble should have invigorating food and
treatment. '
Sick children—The sick should be rigidly
isolated in well-aired (the air being entirely
changed at least hourly), sunlighted rooms,
the out-flow of air being, as far as possible,
through the external windows, by depress-
ing the upper and elevating the lower sash,
or a chimney heated by a fire in an open fire-
place ; all discharges from the mouth and
nose should be received into vessels contain-
ing disinfectants, as solutionsof carbolic acid,
or sulphate of zinc ; or upon cloths, which
are immediately burned; or placed under a
disinfecting fluid.
In addition to the general observations and
suggestions in respect to diphtheria given
above, it may be said that with the first ap-
pearaace of its symptoms there should be no
delay in calling a competent physician. At
the same time, as prompt action may be nec-
essary. we present the prescription of one
who vouches for its efficacy in a great many
cures effected, and who expresses the opinion
that, if properly administered, ageneral care
will follow 2 '
One part of pulverized saltpetre, two parts
of white loaf sugar, one part of borax, to be
administered by bowing through a. glass
tube.
It may be added that the same remedies,with
the exception of the borax, to be taken once
in two hours, is said to be a most effectual
remedial agent for bronchial affection. W0
do not endorse these prescriptions as infalli-
to us has been cured of bronchial disease that
seemed to bathe all other eflorts to overcome
it, and that he is personally cognizant of
'many cures of diphtheria effected by the
remedy described above.

The Mother’s Hand.
Love is full of services. It is tireless in
ministry. It is always giving. It is a busy
active, energetic principle. It finds its hap-
piness in working and spending. W lint will
not the mother do for her chi‘id? “'hat the
wife for her husband? Let the recollection of
your childhood, let the experience of life,
testify. We have seen many a snowy hand,
fair and plump to look upon; and fingers
whose purity rivalled the gems they wore;
but the hands that live in recollection fairer
than they all are the lean, thin, toil—wrinkled
hands of a mother. They were once full
and fair and white as any lady’s, and all of
us, her children, know how and why they
had become thin and worn. They were made
so by telling for us. The dear old weariless
' hands, without ornament save the one plain
circle of gold worn through all the years
from marriage-day to grave-day,—what had
they not done for us all? They had lifted us,
and fed us, and'sootlied us, and labored for
us unceasingly, and to-day they stand in rec-
ollection the symbols and type of serving
love,—lliose aged, shaking hands of our moth-
er. It was love that made them active; it
was love that made them tireless. And what
a joy it was, when she was aged, to sit and
hold them, and smooth them, and caress
them! And now that they are folded in evers
lasting rest, they live in vision, and will live
until we clasp them once again upon the
everlasting shore.
.“Brace up and have some style about you,"
said a newsboy to the gentlemen who sud-
denly sat down on the sidewalk yesterday.
“Mother, have I any children i" asked an
urchin of eight summers, “Why, no. What
put that into your head ?” returned the sur-
prised parent. “Because I read to-day about
children’s children.” answered the acute juve.

Our First Gray Hair,
is the first big pattering drops that fall
With a splash on our lattice pane
lake us shiver and start as they warn us all
Of a storm or of coming rain. '
o is it with life when we are growing old
And age steals on unaware—
:V e shiver and start, if'Ihe truth were told,
At the sight of our first gray hair.
Ve mark not the light of our noonday hours,
Like the first streaks the dawn doth bring;
Ve hail not the birth of the summer flowers
As we do the first snow-drops of spring;
to the bleak winter wind we look not with.
grief,
Though it howls through the branches bare;
.ut we sigh when we- witness the brown
autumn leaf ,
And behold Nature’s first gray hair.
‘ray hairs‘ may come when the beaming eye
Has none of its brightness lost,
When, with buoyant heart we would fain
deny '
Youth s Rubicon had been crossed ;
-ut Ihe ivy~clad tree looks young and green,
Though a sapless trunk be there,
rnd naught of decay on our check may be
seen .
When we witness our first gray hair.
)h. a noble crown to a noble life
Is ahead of silvery gray,
And ’tis well, if tired with the struggle and
strife,
It finds rest on the close of the day;
at gray-beaded sin is a crownless curse,
And the parent of dark despair,
A id it gives us a pang, oh! doubly worse, ,
Than the sight of our first gray hair.
omc carly, come late, like a knock at the
gate,
Is that first soft, silvery thread,
LDd it joins with its silence the years the
wait
With the years forever fled:
silently tells us we’re journeying on ;
It silently questions us—Wherc ?
)h, a faithful mile stone, were the truth but
known,
ls seen in our first gray hair.

Demo cracy'éIVliat is It ?
It is stated by the founders of the Constitu~
:on to be, “The Government of the people by
themselves.” ,
The fundamental basis of Democracy
s the recognition of the rights of man as
non. Its central principle is the equality of
llmcn before the law, without regard to
-irth, property, or rank. The principles of
he Constitution, and of Democracy are for-
ibly and clearly Stated in the American
)eclaration of Independence, in the words
If Thomas Jefferson, who has been called,
The Apostle of Democracy.”
“We hold these truths to be self-evident
but all men are created equal ; that they are
ndowed by their creator, with certain
nailinable rights ; that among these are life,
lberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That
0 secure these rights, Governments are in-
titutcd among men, deriving their just pow-
rs from the consent of the governed. These
,lrinciples, we find still more fully developed
a the _Constitutions of the States of the
Jnion. -
First—The Constitution of New Hamp-
hire (1702) says : “All men are born equal-
y free and independent ; therefore all gov-
rnment of right originates from the people.
"All power residing originally in and being.
~lerived from the people, all the mag-
istrates and officers of the Government are
their substitutes and agents, and at all times
cconntable to them."
the bill of rights prefixed to the Constitution
-f Virginia in 1776, adopted by the conven—
ion of 1850—51, says : “All men are by
nature equally free ant? independent, and
awe certain inherent rights, of which, when
hey enter into a'state of society, they can-
iot by any compact, deprive or divest their
posterity ; namely, the enjoyment of life
' ind liberty, with the means of acquiring and
lossessing property, and pursuing, and 0b-
".aining happiness and safety. All power is
rested in, and consequently derived from
the people ; magistrates are their trustees
and servants, and at all times amei ode to
hem.”
'The Constitution of Florida (1838) says:
“That all elections shall be free and equal,
rod that no property qualification for eligi-
Jility t0 oflice, or for the right of sufferage
shall ever be required in this state.”
The so called Republicans of the middle
ages, were far from being Democratic in
their institutions.
In fact, real 'Republican democracy was
first put in practice in government by the
colonies of New England. In Connecticut
in 1639, the elective franchise was given to
all men who had taken an oath of allegiance
to the common wealth ; the magistrates and
legislature were chosen annually by ballot,
and the representation was proportioned to
the population. To this day the most per-
fect democracies in the world are the towns
of New England, where the whole adult
male population.may assemble and decide by
their votes their own public affairs.
Much confusion of ideas on the subject of
Democracy has been caused by not discrimi-
nating between political and social Democra-
cy, between the Democracy of laws and the
Democracy of sentiment and manners. The
principle of the legal and political equality
of men is not inconsistent with the utmost
variety of natural and social distinctions. It
only forbids the creation by law of artifica‘.
distinctions. The example of the American
people shows that Democratic political in-
stitutions are compatible with great inequali-
ties in cultivation, manners, style of living,
social considerations, and the distribution of
property. Tnaxscnmnn.

Captuic 01 a Polar Bear.
The skin of an immense polar hear was re-
ceived by a gentleman in this city per barque
Nile, from a friend on the barque. Isabella, at
Cumberland Inlet, with an account of its ex-
citing capture, which we copy verbatim : “A
party of men from the Isabella, including a
number of Esquimaux and myself, were
walking on the ice a short distance from the
ship, when rounding a humngock, we unex-
pectedly discovered a short distance from us
a large bear quietly feeding. We would
have returned to the ship without disturbing
it, as we were armed with only one rifle and
a few spears carried by the natives, had not
one of the several dogs that were with us
announced our presence by aloud bark. The
bear, as soon as it saw the intruders, began
to advance slowly toward us, but was met
by the dogs who attacked the animal vigor-
ously, but with little effect. He shook them
off, and after injuring three of them so bad-
ly that they had to be killed, he continued to
advance. We discharged the rifle and then
fled to the ship, where we armed ourselves
and came out to look after his bearship, who
had disappeared behind one of the numerous
hammocks by which we were surrounded.
We had searched for some time, when, as
one of the Esquimaux passed the corner of
a hammock he came face to face with the in-
furiatcd animal. He gave a fearful cry just
as the brute struck him with one of its im—
mense paws. The rest of us heard the cry
and rapidly surrounded the brute, which
stood perfectly still over the body of the
Esquimaux. Wigfired sixteen shots, twelve
of which entered his body. before it received
its death wound. The native was inscnsible
when we picked him up and badly torn about
the shoulder by the beast’s claws, but was
not seriously hurt. We took the body of the
bear on a sledge to the ship ; it weighed
1,575 pounds, and was ten feet and one inch
from nose to tail, and eight feet and four
inches arouiui the thickest part of its body.”
