The time is probabiy not far distant

usually go, and was turned ith surpris

Judge Jackson's Article.
The artiele of Chief Justice Jackson, of
this Btate, on “‘shooting at Sight,” is ex
citing considerable comment. The critics
do not give Judge Jackson credit for say
ing much that is new on the subject. It
is probable that there is not much to say
that is new. He states the situation
fairly, and points out the progress that
has been made in repressing dueling in
the South. The practice of dueling is by
no means so common as it was. Duels
take place now and then in Virginia
and Louisiana, but they are very rare in
other Southern States. Severe laws, par
ticularly in Georgia and South Carolina,
have brought the practice into disrepute.
The time is not very distant, perhaps,
when duels will be as unknown in the
South as in the North. There has not
been as much advancement in suppress
ing the practice of "shooting on sight” to
which Judge Jackson directs particular
attention. The Judge says the roots of
this evil are the grog shop and the con
cealed pistol. The Charleston Seirs
ami Courier thinks this is
not the whole truth. It says:
••Ttie stidden affrays in which men are
shot or stabbed will become infrequent as
whisky drinking declines; and whisky
drinking will lead directly to but little
blood-guiltiness \vhen the pistol and kniie
-ball cease to tie at hand, and ready for
us<’. iti a moment of passion or excite- ’
in.nt. There are. however, other coin oats |
than those in which whisky and pistols
are the moving causes. It happens far
too often that business controversies, and j
disputes as to legal rights, as well as j
(•ersonal insults, are sought to lie settled I
in th<-street at the pistol i*omt or with :
thp shotgun. This sort of lawless- j
ness can only be reformed by ;
a rigid enforcement of the law against
offenders, and by teaching the people that
the higher and more courageous course
always i- to P ave to the law the vindica
tion or one’s rights. It is hard to rise up
t.i* this plane, but it is what the good ot
society demands.”
JudgeJaeksi.n -peaks on this phase of
hi- subject as follows: "If men will take
the law into their own hands, become
themselves the judge- of their own cases,
and their own sherift’ to execute the sen
tence they themselves pronounce, they
must lie certain that they adjudge the
case according to law . and execute the
sentence which that law pronounces, or
they must sutler the consequences of their
mistake of the law."
The great trouble i* that a man of
wealth or influence, or who has influen
tial friends, is pretty certain to escape
punishment if he dangerously wounds or
kills a |arson in a street tight or barroom
broil, even though he is the aggressor. A
inor, rigid enforcement of the law is
need* and. If punishment was certain there
would lie fewer crimes of violence.
Tlie l -•• of Money in Elect ions.
Tnere is little doubt that the Republi
cans intend to use monev freely in the
doubtful st.n. - this fall. Thev are deter
mined to hold these States it possible, be
cause the 10-s of them this fall would al
most insure the loss of them in the Presi
dential election next year. The Republi
can leaders know from long experience
the value of money in elections. In the
doubtful State- the floating vote—the vote
that can lie bought—holds the balance of
power. Dorsey, in his revelations re
specting the campaign of !*sn. tells how
this floating vote was secured in Indiana.
Ohio and New York. Money, aiul money
alone, secured the triumph of the Repub
lican- in that campaign. The Republican
party has come to regard money as neces
sarv to its success. Mr. Ames, ot Mas
sachusetts. being charged with
kindly sentiments towards Governor
Butler, replied that he had given $10,001)
to Ik Ip defeat him. and w anted to know
who hail shown hostility to him to that
extent. These are only a few instances
of the lavish use of money by the Repuli
can party. If the truth were known it
would, perhaps, appear that in almost
every state for years past, where there
was the least ebanee for Republican suc
cess, money was depended upon for vic
tory. There is a very large number of
rich men in the Republican party who are
always ready to open their purses at the
call of the party leaders. They expect to
be rewarded ill some way, of course, and,
as a rule, they are not disappointed, A
good many of them have grow n rich on
party favors, and others have parted with
their money for offices. The money argu
ment is potent but dangerous. To cor
rupt the voters is to threaten the stability
of the government. The evil is becoming
so flagrant and scandalous that some
thing should be done to remedy it. Con
gress has undertaken to reform the civil
service. Let it undertake to stop briliery
in Federal elections.
Commenting tm the sharp criticism of
the Legislature by the press of the State,
the Atlanta eorresjioiident of the Chroni
cle anil i on si nationalist enters a plea of
defense, setting forth 960 bills introduced
into the House alone tip to date, two
thirds of which are local or special, and
introduced by express command of the
people themselves. The critics are also
reminded that in order to introduce a
local bill permission must be obtained by
a two-thirds vote of the House; and if the
introducer desires to save time by having
the bill read the first time, and referred to
its appropriate committee, instead ot
going to the committee on that class of
bills simply to Ik* reported back and read
a tirs time, that also requires a two
thirds vote.
From this statement of the situation it
is apparent that the Legislature cannot
get through with the business before it if it
remains in session until Christmas. One
of the evils of sjiecial legislation is so
marked that it is a question whether it
would not be wise to submit to the people
an amendment to the constitution pro
hibiting all sjiecial legislation.
The orphan children of the Confederate
General John B. Hood occasionally come
liefore the Southern public, show ing the
lively interest taken in their welfare.
The oldest boy. John B. Hood. Jr., now
about twelve year* old, was adopted !>y a
Mr. Russell, a wealthy planter Missis
sippi; the two eldest dauy’hters by Mr.
Maury, a relative, of Mrs. Hood’s,
who is educating them in Germany with
his ow n slaughters. One pair of the twin
girls were adopted by a Mr. Adams, of
New York, and the other by Mr. McKee,
of Mississippi, and two boys. Duncan and
Oswald, were adopted into good families
in New York. A singular coincidence is
related in connection with three of the
gentlemen who have thus taken the place
of the fat her of these interesting children.
Messrs. Russell, Adams and McKee were
classmates at Yale College, They are all
married, but neither has any children.
Without concert of action, or even know
ing wliat the others w ere about to do,
each applied for and was given the charge
he now has.
The deformities of people, says Dr. I)al
by, in a paper liefore the Geneva Hy
gienic Congress, may usually Ik* traced
to the positions in which they were kept
while at school. Asa rure, children are
well formed at the beginning of school
life, and the researches of Dr. Cbaussier
found only 122 out of 23,200 new born in
fants examined by him who possessed
abnormal peculiarities of un\ kind. This
should lie a valuable hint to parents and
teachers. Illiteracy, with vigo* and
health, is preferable to education with
disease and deformity.
A l’hiladelpitia proprietor of a shooting

marksmen who tike to shoot at swift birds
thrown from a trap. Ttie solution may
afford some sport, but will hardly make
the shooting-gallery man ri< h. To catch

cline a lecture engagement. A man who

that a writer in the Washington Sunday
Herald says that Sullivan is a splendid

belonged to the realm of fiction.
Malaria.
Malarial diseases and the causes of
malaria are not thoroughly understood.
.Scientists are investigating these subjects
with increasing interest. Malaria is not
confined to any particular part of the
world’ or to particular localities. It is
well-nigh universal. It is found in low
marshy regions and in hilly dis
tricts hundreds of feet above the
level of the sea. In this
country it prevails to a greater extent,
perhaps, in the Sobth than in any other
section, although in the West, in locali
ties which are being opened to settlement,
its presence is very marked. Turning up
the soil for the first time seems to release
the poison. Along the lines of railways,
therefore, which are being constructed
malarial fevers prevail extensively. The
mouths of rivers, which empty into the
sea, are recognized as favorite seats of ma
laria. If the rivers are sluggish,and choked
by vegetation and mud. the poison
is intensified. The most malarious coun
try in the world, perhaps, is Italy. There
is hardly any part of it that is free from
malaria. J-’ilth does not seem to aggra
vate or produce the poison. The dirtiest
parts of Rome are comparatively free
from malarial fevers, while the aristo
cratic portions are troubled with them to
a marked degree. The extent to which
malarial diseases prevail in Italy has in
duced the War Department ot that gov
ernment to investigate malaria for the
purpose of finding out the liest way to get
rid of it. The work was undertaken by
the War Department because of the vast
expense entailed by malarial diseases in
the army. This expense is estimated at
$2,000,000 a year.
The report of the department has been
published. It contains many valuable
facts and suggestions. It declares mala
ria to be ‘“the product of vegetable de
composition in connection with moisture
of the soil, especially in sandy soils."
According to the reiiort, the only cute tor
the evil is proper drainage and thorough
cultiv at ion of the soil. Trees in malarious
districts are thought to tie beneficial. As
a rule, malaria disappears where there is
thorough cultivation. In this connection
the observations ofM. Richard, a French
scientist, respecting the parasite ot ma
laria, is interesting. The Mi ilii'itl ‘iml Sur
gical !:•!>oiler says the “ot starvations of
M. Richard seems to affirm those of
Levereau: he found in the red corpuscles
of the blood of persons suffering from
acute malaria a parasite of oscillating
form moving very rapidly, and sometimes
disengaging itself from the globule.
These parasites have been met with in a
number sufficiently large to obstruct the
capillary vessels, and to explain many of
the symptoms of intermittent fevers. It
lias also been proven that the culture of
these parasites in a fertile gelatin basis
can lie brought to an immediate cessation
if a two per cent, quinine solution is
added.”
General Chalmers, of Mississippi, in
his eagerness to harm his old political
friends, scents to have been imposed upon
by someone working in his interest. At
a convention held in Jackson, Mississippi,
last Wednesday, Mr. Chalmers read a
telegram, purporting to come troni a man
named Cessor, employed in the Post Office
Department, that Senator Lamar and ex-
Congressnlan Lynch, a colored limn, had
entered into a bargain bv which Lamar
waste use his influence to get the Legis
lature, in redistricting the State, to make
two Republican districts, so that Lynch
could get back to Congress. Lynch carried
a copy of the telegram to the Postmaster
General and requested him to summon
Cessor and inquire of him if he sent such
a message. Cessor was called and de
nied that he knew anything of the matter.
This leaves Mr. Chalmers in a very un
pleasant position. If Cessor did not send
the telegram, where did Mr. Chalmers
get it? Mr. Chalmers has failed com
pletely in his effort to Mahoneize Missis
sippi, and in a little while he will not be
heard of in the politics of that
State. His contested election ease will
make some noise in Washington this win
ter. When that is settled the volume of
bis political career will probably lie
closed,

An English correspondent of the

of the recent visit of the Prince of Wales

added, “not oppose, but we should ap
prove and even atiet it. if needful." The

on this subject, whereupon Prince Bis

The greatest eel pond in America is on
the farm of James N. Wells, in the town

pond, intending to have them undisturbed
for five years. These have increased to
millions. They are fed regularly every
thin] day on "horse feet," a peculiar
shell-fish* The eels know when they are
to be fed, and the stroke of Mr! Wells'
whip against his wagon calls thousands
of them up to dinner, although anyone
else may pound away all day without any
effect. One of these shell-fish, fastened to
a strong cord and thrown into the water,
may be drawn out in a few minutes with
hundreds of eels fastened to it.

A California hen, while engaged with
her brood of chicks in plowing up a neigh
bor’s garden recently, was charged upon
by a full-grown rat. • The old representa
tive of the “poultry show” immediately
established herself as a cordon around
her flock and awaited the onslaught. The
rodent, somewhat checked by the bold
front presented by the “garden destroy
er,” crouched for a moment, and then
made a dart for one of the chicks. In an
instant the old hen opened her cackle bat
tery, and commenced iiattle. She flew at
her enemy, and, striking it with her bill,
grabbed it by the back and threw it in the
air. The rodent catne down with a thump
upon the walk, but before it could regain
its feet the hen repeated the performance,
and kept it up until the rat was only able
to crawl away a few feet and die in dis
grace. After contemplating her fallen foe
for a few r moments, the old hen called her
brood around her and walked off'.

“Vicar of Wakefield,” which would have
enriched his Phi Beta Kappa address.
“When I came to Louvain,” says he. “I
was resolved not to 'go sneaking tff the
lower professor's, but openly tender my
talent to the 'principal himself. 1 went,
had admittance, and offered him my
service as a master ot the Greek lan
guage, which I bad been told was a desid
eratum in this university, The principal
seemed at first to doubt my abilities;
but of these J offered to convince him by
turning a part of any Greek author he
should fix upon into Lajtin. Finding me
perfectly earnest in my proposal, he ad
dressed’me thus: ‘You see me. young
man. 1 never learned Greek, and I don’t
find that 1 ever missed it. 1 have had a
doctor’s cap and gown without Greek; 1
have ten thousand florins a year without

in short,’ continued he, “as I don’t know
Greek. 1 do not believe there is any good
ip it.’ ”

Sir Walter Raleigh Before hi* Execution
Gentleman's Magazine.
The eve of the day fixed for his execu
tion Raleigh had taken a final farewell of
his wife, and the interview between the
two had lasted until the abbey had tolled
the hour of 12. All business matters had
been settled, and there was nothing,there
fore. on the mind of the condemned man
to interfere with bis hopes and thoughts
as to the unseen world Into which he
was about to enter. The King as a last
favor had granted the wife, speedily tq be
made a widow, permission to bury the body
of her husband after the headsman had
done his fell w’ork. “It is well, dear Bes
sie,” said Raleigh, pressing her in the
agony of a last embrace, “that thou may’st
dispose of that dead which thou had’st
not always the disposing of when alive.”
So those two parted, never more to meet
on this side the “eternal silence.” “God,
hold me in my wits!” sighed the poor
dame as she entered her coach, stationed
under the very, shadow of the scaffold,
upon which, in a few brief hours-, the
blood of her husband was to be shed. As
8 o’clock struck Raleigh held himself in
readiness to quit the Gate House. A cup
of excellent sack was now brought
him, which lie drank at a quaff.
He was asked how he liked it. “As the
fellow,” he replied, “who, drink
ing of St. Giles’ bow l bn his way to Ty
burn, said it was a good drink if a man
might tarry by it.” After this refresh
ment a procession was made to the scaffold,
at the head of which walked the IX'an of
Westminster, On the way to the Old
Palace Yard Raleigh met Sir Hugh Brere
ton, an old friend, whom he had especially
requested to he present at the execution.
“Sir Hugh, to make sure work, got a let
ter from Secretary Lake to the Sheriff to
see him placed conveniently, and meeting
them [the procession! as they came near
to the scaffold, delivered his letter. But
the Sheriff'by mishap had left his specta
cles at home, and put the letter ie, ids
pocket; in the meantime, Sir Hugh being
thrust aside by the crowd, Sir Walter
bade him farewell, saying: ‘I know not
what shift you will make, but I
am sure to have a place,’” It was
a bitterly eold (jetober morniug,
rendered alj (he more sharp by a cutting
east w hid, and as Raleigh ascended the
scaffold and prepared to address the vast
mob that thronged the palace yard his
limns, enfeebled. Vy confinement and ill
health, trembled so visibly that ho could
scarcely support himself. The sheriff,
observing this debility, offered to help his
ill-fated charge flown front the scaffold
and take him to a tire, so that being
warmed he might he the better able to
deliver his dying speech. “No, good Mr.
Sheriff.” said Raleigh, “let us dispatch,
for w ithin this quarter of an hour mine
ague w ill eonte upon me, and if 1 be not
dead before then mine enemies will say
that I quake for fear.” Then, holding on
by the tail of tae scaffold, he faced the
crowd and thus began; ”1 thank
God heartily that He hath brought me
into the light to die, and that He hath not
suffered me todie in the dark prison of
the Tower, where 1 have suffered a great
deal of misery and cruel sickness; and 1
thank God that my fever hath not taken
tne at the time, as I prayed to God it
might not.” After this preface he pro
ceeded to deal with the charges brought
against him. He denied that he ever en
tered into any pint with France, though
he admitted, to save his life, he had at
tempted to escape into France. He de
nied that he had ever lieen counselled by
Lord U’arew and other Lords to fly the
country, or that he had ever offered Sir
LewisStukeley monov to assist him in es
caping. “-But, indeed," he acknowledged,
“I showed him a letter that if he would go
with me there should be order taken for
his debts w hen he was gone; neither had 1
£IO,(XX) to’give him,for if I had had so much
I could have made my peace better with
it other ways than in giving it to Stuke
ley.” He declared that his only object in
starting for Guiana was to discover the
mine which really existed there. He de
nied that he ever intended to desert his
men|vvhen at Trinidad,as had lieen alleged,
or that he had been forced to return home
by his men against his will. Nor was it
true that he had carried with him
to sea numerous niece*, and that the only
object of his voyage was to get money
into his hands; he had taken out but lit
tle money, and such as he had taken out
he had brought back. “The* be the ma
terial points,” ffe concluded, “I thought
good to speak of, and 1 am now at this in
stant to render up an account to God; and
1 protest, as I shall appear before Him,
this that 1 have spoken is true, and 1 hope
I shall be believed.”
MR. SPEAKER.
Some Taffy for William Springer—A
Chat with Sam Cox— Reviewing the
Other Candidates and Their Chances
of Success.
Saratoi/a Letter in Chicago Sties.
It is by uo means certain who is to win
in the coming Sjeakership tight at X\ ash
ington. I have learned since coming here
that there has been a real break made
against Sam Randall that will surprise
him when he gets back to Washington.
Member-eject Slocum, from the Brooklyn
district, savs that he has been caretully
over the list of the next House, and that
Randall cannot count on more than thirty
five votes. Stilson Hutchins, who has
been here several days, is already hard
at work against Randall. He left for
Boston yesterdav to make a canvass
among the Xew England members.
Hutchins is not particular who is Speaker,
provided it is not Sam Randall.
I had a long talk with Sam Cox yester
days He said, in answer to an inquiry
about the support he was to have from
the New York delegation: “lam sure f
the whole delegation. I have been through
my State and have seen them all. Every
one of the members have pledged them
selves to support me except Waldo S.
Hutchins, and he will go for me if the
delegation says so. He has said as much
as that.’*
••I see there has been some talk about
Dorsheimer. How did you settle with
him ?”
“Very simply. I went to Dorsheimer,
and very frankly said to him: ‘lf the
delegation wants'to support you I want
to know it now. Ido not want to go into
this fight unless I am going to be backed.
If you want the benefit of my twenty-two
years’ experience in the House, say so
now. Y’oii must stand by me if I go into
this contest.’ Dorsheimer said all the
talk about his candidacy was absurd. No
suggestion of it had coine from him. It
would be the height of absurdity for a
member who had never served to lie a can
didate for the highest office in the House.
No; Dorsheimer is for me, and you may
lie certain I will have the votes of the New
York delegation with me.”
“Will you have Hewitt’s support?
There was a time when you and Hewitt
differed.”
“Not seriously. Hewitt is now ray
friend, lie was obliged to be absent from
the House last winter on account of his
health and I did his work for hint in his
absence. Wo are both coming to Con
gress from districts where he could not be
nominated in the one if I were not in the
other, and vice versa. You will find that
I shall have his cordial support.”
“When do you expect to formally open
your campaign at Washington?”
“General Slocum, who will have charge
of my canvass, will go to Washington on
the first of October. He will open his
house there, and remain there to look af
ter mv business. He will be in the house
recently occupied by General Sherman.”
“How many votes do you expect on the
first ballot?”
“From assurances already given me I
believe I will have 68 vote's. I believe
Carlisle will have TS, Randall 34, while
Springer will have the Illinois delegation
on the first ballot at least. But 1 think
he will have trouble to hold it, on account
of the opposition of Win. R. Morrison. I
have a very high regard for Mr. Springer.
He is a conscientious •student of public
affairs, a hard worker and always inde
fatigable in attending to his duties in the
House. 1 regard him as one of the most
useful men in the House. I think Sprin
ger had rather come to me, if he thinks
he cannot win himself, than go to
anybody else. I therefore count
pretty confidently upon Illinois in the
end. I have a good vote assured me in
Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana. I
have the North Carolina delegation and a
number from the South. 1 have nine
votes in Ohio. There is only one vote in
that delegation I am in doubt about and
that is Converse. I have befriended him
too much for me ever to ask him to vote
for me. He must come, if he comes at all,
without asking.”
Mr. Cox is in the very best of health
and spirits. Few men are as young at
sixty. His hair is still very dark, and
only streaked with gray, while he has the
rattle and dash of a very young man. As
he said, “I am young, younger than any
of the men in the House.”
Continuing his chat, he said “the only
enmity he had came from men who never
could forgive a man for not being dull or
common-place,” He had never hesitated
to express his opinions at all times upon
every question as it came up. He had
often been crowded to the front on ac
count of the timidity of those who would
be the first to denounce his success after
ward from pure jealousy.
I have given Mr. Cox’s views and those
of his friends at some length, because it
has not been generally believed he could
hold the solid New York delegation back
of him. The result of to-day shows that
Mr. Cox has been conducting a very
adroit canvass during the season when
politicians are generally ready to rest. It
does not seem possible that he can suc
ceed as against Mr. Carlisle, but the New
York members say he has distanced Sam
Randall already, and will be placed a
good second. No one talks much of Hol
man as a candidate. He and Cox have
worked together in the past, and have
close affiliations. Holman has never yet
committed himselt to anybody, although
friends of Carlisle have tried very hard to
secure pledges from him.
Randall is the candidate of the Repub
licans; that is to say, he is the man the
Republicans would like to see the Demo
crats elect Speaker. That is hurting him
a good deal. Then he has been Speaker of
the House when the Democrats made any
thing out good records. lie is married to
the high protection element in Pennsylva
nia, and cannot procure a divorce. Then
you can add to all the opposition coming
from this source all the- men Randall se
lected for victims in his days of power.
William R. Morrison will never rest until
Sam Randall is down. There are any
number of men in the South and West
who hate Randall with no ordinary ha
tred. For so good a politician 4ie has but'
few graces to win popularity. The men
he has pledged to him are those to whom
he has promised chairmanships. Natu
rally thesupport from this thirty-odd men
will be vigorous and hearty.
One of the elements of weakness in Car
lisle's canvass is greatly to his credit.
Ho will hot make any promises in ad
vance of what he will do, beyond
saying: “If t am elected I shall arrange
the committees so they shall be in the
hands of the best men, regardless of any
question of personal services,”
This is discouraging to the workers.
Mr. Carlisle is the only candidate for the
Speakership who has no system of re
wards and punishment. He does not un
derstand “practical politics.” The aver
age member does not tight with belligerent
heartiness unless he is sure in advance of
his pay. Then the members who light
Mr. Carlisle, or who support some other
man, can rest assured that, if Mr. Car
lisle should win, they will stand as well
tor committee places as before.
The odds all through are in fayor of Mr.
t arlisle. lie is the best man among the
Democrats, and whose election the Re
publicans most fear.
