Harrell, Editor. PARIS LETTER. From Our Rezu'.ar Correspondent. Pahis, France, June 11, 1879. Just one year' ago, when I saw for the first time the race9 for the Grand Prix, there Tas Marshal McMahon eeated in the most prominent place on the Grand Stand surrounded by Shah of Persia, who ap peared to be dressed in a gentleman's gor geous morning wrapper and smoking enp; Aruedtus. Ex Kinz of Spain; and other royal personages. To day President M Grcvey has the place of honor and other royalties surround him. Frenchmen aDd Frenchwomen enjoy the race just the same, no matter whether a Republican or Imperi nliflt president occupies the purple pavilion Gay, enthusiastic, art lovinjr. excitement craving, sublime, selfish, grandly contempt ible French people ! To see them and to know them is to open an entirely new vol ume of human nature. It may be well to remind your readers that the- Grand Prix dates only from 1803. Before that time foreign horses could not compete for prizes iu France, or rather they could not carry orT any prize. When the Jockey club was ap plied to on the subject they declared that their statues forbade them to let a six pence bo diverted from their funds in favor of a foreign horse. The dtSculty was turned by M. de Moray, who contrived that the grand prize of 100,000 Franc9 should be given half by the city of Taris and the other half by the five principal railway companies. The idea was just, no less than ingenious, both gain by the influx of visi tors. The first grand prize was won by an English horse Ranger and a great outcry was made on the score that the good peo ple of Paris were simply was making a pres ent of several thousand pounds a year ' to perfide albion. But the second year's prize was carried of by M. Dolamorrc's Ver mouth, and of the sixteen that have been run for, up to and including to-day, nine have been won by French animals. To come to the event of the day, nm1 to begin with the weather, which has so im mense an effect on such meetings. It look ed black and threatening all the morning and at half pa3t one, just when the ma jority of visitors were preparing to btart, there came on a sudden and violent storm. The weather then remained lulr until some time after the grand prize had been run, and it was only those who waited to see the racing out who were caught in a second down-pour as violent, oa the first. The course was unusually well filled to-day find I fancy there were more dngs on the bill than are generally to be seen. As to the grand stand it could not have held more people. Not only were all the tribunes densely packed, but the entire space was occupied by a compact throng, and half the numbers in the weighing-ground can have seen no more of the great race than if they had re gained in Paris. The president's tribune was thoroughly well filled. M. Grivy tat 'in the middle ot the front row, looking, it must be confessed, ns if he did not at all like his prominent position, and as though he did not care the least in the world about what was going on. Mad ame and Mdlle. Griy were, of rourae. then-, together with the ladies of several ministers, and I rIho remarked the prs enco of Count Benni, -Prince Orlulf uud several other ambaxwidors. As it i cer tain to be stated that the Prince of Wales was there, it in well to note that, if his royal highnes ' was conspicuous at the . Longchamps race-course to-day, it was by hit absence. It is known, of course, that tho prince never attends Huuday raccK, hut some of the French papers give such circumstantial accounts ot the disposal of Jiii time when he is in Paris, that, if he . l a - 1 1 manages to bo in all the placei he is sup posed to attend, he must, indeed, have tho rift of ubiquity. Tho bell ran? at the ap pointed time, and tho courso was speedily cleared, but a long delay occurred be fore the horses came one -by one on tho course. After the canter tho animals walked past tho tribunes in Indian file, and having reached the- starting-place, to the right of the weighing ground, the start was at once given. All round the course, up the hill, and down again us far as tho straight run home tho running was made by Jourangelle, the stable companion of Nil bienne, followed closely by M. Fould's A vermes, but when they reached the level the pack was so close together that they might, to uso the expressive phrase I heard uttered oa all sides, have been covered with a handkerchief. The colors of La grange, Blanc and Fauld were then seen to the fore, and Flavis II., Saltiador. and Nu- bienne, came on so closely together that the issue seemed doubtful in the extreme. The . - , I..V1.. I 1 struggle mdeca was remarKauiy nans, uiu Nubienne succeeded in passing Saltciador by a neck, Flavis II following scarcely a head behind. Seldom has a race been more hotly contested, and, although the re sult disappointed the expectations of the majority of spectators, the entrance of Nu- bienne into the weighing-ground was greetod by warm applause. At all events, the English horso had not carried ol!' the prize, and this was a great consolation to French losers. Not that Xubienne had not been backed; M. Blanc, his owner, has been so lucky of late that many had faith in his star. The other races had little comparative interest, and immediately after the Grand Prize had been run began the gradual re turn homeward. To those who left the course it seemed as though all Pans haa come out to meet them. All through the Bois and all the way up the Avenue de 1' Imptratrice one was met by an unbroken line of vehicle, private carriages, with la dies who had been atraid of the weather, being in the majority. As to the champs Elvsies, the sight there was really remarkable, each side cf the pathway being occupied by people who sat and stood in rows eight or ten deep. There they sat and stood patiently for hours, and until the storm sent all but the bravest flying to watch the return de courses, and I um not sure that they had not the best of it. The Boulevards are naturally crowded to-night by a throng of loungers, who scarcely know where to pass the first summer night of the season, and for whom the exceptional gaieties of Mabille will doubtless prove a potent attraction. FoMbe Bulletin. HOKRORS OF THE HOUSEHOLD. AND HOW TO SIXTRE EXEMPTION THERE FROM. As scarlet fever and diphtheria are pre vailing to a considerable extent in some of our neighboring towns, I thought a short communication on the subject might be ac ceptable reading to the majority of your renders. The late Dr. G. B. Beebee, of Chicago, just before his death, communicated to the "Tribune'' of that city, a very interest ing article in regard to the cure by newly discovered remedies, of those terribly de structive infantile diseases, dipptheria and scarlet fever. It is only in recent years that the fact has been established that those diseases are very contagious; and scarcely anything has been known as to the processes by which the is disseminated. The labors of Pasteur, the learned French investigator, who with the aid of the microscope, was able to demonstrate that the Toruia, or yeast plant, (upon which the fermentation of bread and beer depends, is a vegetable growth, from germs or seeds planted and springing up, as in other forms of vegetable life') appeared to have given the first clue to these investi gations, which seem to promise an abi.ity to the medical faculty, for the first time, to cope successfully with those formidable diseases. By another series of experiments, un der microscopic scrutiny, it has been found that most animal tissues exposed to the atmosphere, would, in two or three days, undergo putrifaction, the microscope re- vealinir at the same time the presence of minute living organisms, capable of mo tion auti reproduction, lliese organisms appeared in every sample kof the matter exposed to the ordinary atmosphere, but never when the atmosphere in which they were exposed had been deprived of all floating particles 01 dust; tuus proving that the seeds or germs of these minute organisms 01 animal me tloat in tno air, ami are sown in animal 'matter exposed for their reception. The next step in the progress of investi gation was made by a German named Iloch, who carefully studied a disease, which iu Russia and eastern Europe was known as splenic-lever, and proved very distructive. By the microscope he discov ered iu the blood of those alllictcd with this disease, living parasites in great num ber of which rapidly develop! d within their bodies seed-germs, which, when introduced into the blood of a living aaimal, would reproduce tint parasite ami divclopo thc disefisc. A parallel li.ie of thought and investiga tion in regar J toother diseases seems at last to havo demonstrated the fact, accord ing to Dr. Beebee 'h statement, that diphthe ria and scHrlet fever diseases in which the blood and fluids of tho body border closely DAILY CAIRO BULIflTIN; unon imtridity-are Induced and w1 l,v thPMi infinitesimal germs. The next point was how to destby those germs ot disease when tney umii lodge mcntiaa patient, and tho disedcry ap pears to hnvo been made, that sulfite of soda which has l'f? hbca kno ft.8 a powerful disinfectant, would destry as if by magic, the germs of those OXious parasites which induce such fatal diirders. Although readily soluble, the nlphito lacked energy to render it at all pies ef fective, and at last it was discovwd that its combination with Carbolic kid a more powerful antiseptic would do the work. Combined, tho article is caled the Sulpho-Carbolato of Soda. It isjdorless and has no unpleasant tase; and I the Avtement is (after its-use in hundreds of cases, that jiy its administration, the blood and issues of the human body may be thoroughr disin fected without exciting any poisoous ef fects by tho dose, which is adimistercd iu two grain doses, in half glai water night and morning. So much for theory. Now for tli prac tical results as cited in the commutation referred to. At Montague, Michigai dur ing the winter of 1S77, the scarlet fever prevailed as an epidemic. In the families J of James Daltou and three or four o his neighbors, including nineteen chjdren, where the sulpho-carbolato was usee as a preventive, all escaped the disease, aid no other family had tie like good fortun. At Maplewood, one of the suburbs of Cncago the scarlet fever made severe inroads upon many families ; but four or five f amies in the midst of the epidemic influence enjoy ed entire immunity by using this milicine as a preventive. From Toledo, lnd, where in the begnning of lust winter, diphtheria prevailed o an alarming extent and the physicians were powerless, a father of a family writes mder date of January the 18th, that the to of this remedy had fulriled all expedition as a preventive of the dread dse:ise. In concluding his longand carelull' pre pared statement. Dr. Beebee says : "These examples could be multiplied ad libtum ; but enough has been said to indicat, at least, that tins aireut is worth a still more extended application, and I earnestly rcc ommend it to the uttention of the Boa"ds of Health in all our large cities. In brkiging forward this mode of treatment, I g:ve it first to the profession, and afterwards to the public, desiring that my name should appear only so far as it might commend the treatment to those who micrht have confidence in me."
