Herald, April 3. inne MopvLpers ON StRIKE.—The men employed in the Sackville Foundry have gone out on strike. Mr. Fawcett wished to ‘reduce the price paid to mouiders for making some lines of stoves which are old-fashioned and not in very great demand. The moulders claimed that they cquid not sfiord te wark for any- thing less than the old prices, and decided to go ort rather than accept any reduction. Rareniiifentions ArremPtT To BREAK JAIL.—Several prison- ers now confined in the Truro jail madea some- what determined effort to escape the other day. Their plan was to remove the boards in the walls of the water-closet. It is not known how long they had been at work, but when discovered they had worked through the boards of the jnner wall and had made cisions in the outer boards, which they would svon have been through if not discovered. niin Rare Beauty.--Miss Mabel Wright, the New York beauty, is thus described by a weekly paper: “‘Her features are as deli- eately chiseled as those of the ideal Greek slave and her neck is swan-like in its undulat- ing grace. Her complexion is dazzlingly fair, but her cheeks have all the bloom of a sun- kissed peach; her daintily-curved lips, which possesses a cruel fascination of their own, are red ag Caribbean acral, while her deep, #lmond-shaped eyes look oyt from under their janguid lids with a pecyliarly haughty yet en- gouraging gage.” And she is still unmarried. onecmueggehaiii Doett Trwes ry Bostoy.—Says the St. John Sua : A gentleman, recently return- ed from a visit to Boston, tells of meeting a large number of provincials in that city. The reason he met them was that they were idle and had nothing better to do than knock about the streets and places of com- mon resort. One or two personal acquaint- ances wanted the favor of a small loan. There was an air of general seediness about mogt of them, and number with whom he talked expressed « desire tu retura to St. John with their families, but lacked the means. Prince Bismarck as a birthday present an enormous hound to take the place of the Chancellor's famous ‘* Reichshund,” who died some time ago. The Chinese Minister at Washington ex- pends more money in telegrams and cable dispatches than the Government of the United States. Incommunicating with the Chinese Government he makes use of a cipher, but as his dispatches cost $4 a word his bills are enormous. His expenditure in telegraphing reaches an average of $1,000-a week. The Ottawa Free Press gives the tollowing list of the members whom it declares to be Orangemen, who voted with the government against O'Brien's resolution: Sir John Mac- donald, Hon, M. Bowell, Hon. Mr. Haggart, Hon. Mr. Foster, and Measrs. Cochrane, Mc- Kay, Rykert, Boyle, Dickinson, Ferguson of Leeds, Taylor, Hesgon, Hickey, Madill, Mar- shall, Masson, Skinner, Sproule and Ward. The follawing resolution of the Senate of the United States is worthy of note:—* Re- solved, That the Senate has learned with profound sorrow of the death of John Bright, and remembering his constant and unwavering friendship for the United States, desires to join with the Parliament of his own country in paying a grateful tribute to oue who dur- ing his long public life was conspicuous in his devotion to the cause of freedom and human- ity.” William IIL, King of the Netherlands, has been declared incapable of ‘performing his functions as sovereign, and is thus practically dethroned ; but this action, perhaps, antici- pates his death by a very short time, for though His Majesty is only seventy-two years ald, he has exhausted the vital possibi- lities of an ordinary human system. He has reigned “since the 17th March, 1849. His daughter, and only child, born in 1880, will succeed the regency which has been formed. Sir Edwin Arnold, the author of the ** Light of Asia,” never sat for his photograph till last week. He has al} his life been afflict- ed with q large tiesiy growth as big aa two fists on his forehead, which obliged him to wear a skull cap drawn down well over his eyebrows. The specialists whom he consulted always told him that the growth was connect- ed with his brain and that its removal would probably prove fatal. But about three weeks ago Sir Edwin yielded to the persuasions of the family physician, who removed the growth with success, leaving only a scar, the trace of which is easily obliterated from a photograph. So Sir Edwin went to a photographer in Lon- don and sat for his photo for the first time in his life. A Diphtheria Scare. There is no doubt but that diphtheria in its worst form is very prevalent in many cities and small towns. At the same time; that fact is no reason for frightening people out of their wits, with every new case of sore throat. Even ulcerated sore throat is bad enough, and no person would nave that for fun. Yet hun- dreds of persons are said to have had diph theria who only had a severe sore throat. The form of sore throat which often passes for diphtheretic is what old people call quinsy. **Putrid sore throat,” known long before diphtheria, was probably a form of diphtheria, and very dangerous. An old hospital nurse in Boston says: “‘Itain’t the clear cold of winter that, lays people up with colds, catarrh,°and sore throats, and lays the child- in. | FeD low with diphtheria; ita the soft, pleasant, alternating with the wet slushy days.” This is very true, and explains why those troubles are so prevalent this unusually soft rainy winter; the air, in fact, is laden with poisonous vapors. The first sympthoms of true diph- theria are much like those of a heavy cold on the lungs. There is fever, some stupor, and ditficulty in breathing. Very sharp pains are often felt in the neck glands, just below the ear. The tongue is coated, the throat and tonsils inflamed, little white apots, which in- crease and turn toa dirty yellow or brown color next appear, and a peculjar gdor totally ynlike ulcerated soe thraatisnoticeable. [f the digease ig of the black or malignant type nothing but a miraele can restore the patients to their former good health. Very many re- liabie people claim to have cured severe cases oi diphtheria with Johnson's Anodyne Liniment. Be that as it may, it is worth try- ing, because so easily used internally, dropped on sugar or a8 a gargle, and bathing for ex- ternal use. We know from experience that it will cure a common sore throat in one night, and thousands of people claim that no remedy known will relieve colds, catarrh, bronchitis, croup, ete,, a8 promptly as the good old Johnson's Liniment. If it cures them, why not diphtheria? It was ay old family physicjan’s prescription, {. S. Johnson & Co., Boston, will sent free to any person an illustrated pamphlet about its use.
