We quote as follows from the Savannah
News:
Crushed ok the Tback.—On Saturday
night, between nine and ten o’clock, a ne
gro man was run over on the Central
Railroad, near the intersection of the
main track and the branch to the wharf,
and crushed in the most horrible manner.
One of the engines known as a pusher had
been engaged in drilling cars on the
track, and was proceeding back to tho
vard, when the engineer, Peter Lacy,saw
a white horse or ihule on the track cone
"distance ahead. He at once sounded his
wh sile, and after blowing some time suc
ceeded in scaring the animal off. Whilst
looking alter the retreating qualrnped
his attention was attracted to a dark ob
ject on the track which he could not
make out, although the headlight of his
engine was burning. He reversed his
engine and whistled down brakes, mean-
t'me sounding his whistle frequently.
The object did not move, and tho train,
which was running at a rate of nine or
ten miles an hoar, passed over it before
tbs engine could be stopped. An examina
tion was then made, and it was found
that a negro man had been rnn over and
terribly mangled. He was lying across
the rails, bis bead in the middle of the
track and his legs over tho rail. Tho en
gineer and fireman detected a strong
Oder of whisky when they removed the
body from the track, and the supposition
is that the negro, while drunk, had lain
down on the track and fallen into a drunk
en stupor, to deep that the shrieking of
the locomotive was unheard by him.
With the assistance of three colored men,
who were in the vioinity, the mangled
remains were placed on one of the cars
and brought into tbo depot.
Coroner Chisholm wrs notified, and
yesterday morning proceeded to the
depot to hold an inquest. Tho witnesses
examined were Peter Lacy, the engineer,
and C. C. Clark, fireman, whose testi
mony substantiated the facts above given.
The jury thereupon rendered a verdict
that the “deceased, an unknown negro,
had come to his death by ba ng accident
ally rnn over on tbe Central railroad
while lying across the track.”
The negro was not identified, and none
of the many negroes who gathered at tho
inquest were able to give any Information
concerning him
Swift Retsibutisk—The Negro Giles
Killed.—In Saturday’s Morning News
we announced the capture of Giles, the
negro who attempted a felonious os3anlt
upon a respectable lady near Bryan Neck,
Bryan county, on Thursday morning,anti
stated that he was in the custody of the
law. About eleven o’clock on Friday
morning the husband of the lady ap
proached the prisoner and before tbe
officers could interfere, fired five shots
at him, four of which took effect. After
doing thi3 he handed his revolver to
George F. Halt, Esq., the constable, and
told him he wa3 his prisoner. Mr. Hart
took him in charge and carried him beforo
Justice Hay mans, where he acknowledged
the shooting and was admitted to bail to
await the result of the negro’s wounds.
Giles was taken to the school honse at
Sweet Hill, where his wounds received
attention,, but he died on Saturday morn
lHg.
This negro wa3 a notorious thief, and
his last deed showed that he was a villain
ofthe deepest dye,

also sentenced in the same court to im

aimed Skinner near Atlanta,last summer.
Gobdow and Colquitt.—Under this
head tho Atlanta Gasette remarks as fol
lows :
The friends of Colonel Arnold are get
ting mad over the “interference” of Gov
ernor Colqnilt and Senator Gordon in the
race in this district.
"Well, what’s the difference? Didri
they try to get General Toomb3 to “in
terfere” m behBlf of Arnold? If it was
right fer him to interfere, why isn’t it
right for others 7 General Gordon and
Governor Cclqaitt are simply doing their
duty by the party that saved the State of
Georgia. They are defending the old
party from the insidious attacks of its
own members now, just as in the days of
old they defended it fiom the assaults of
open enemies.
They would be recreant and cowardly
if they did not respond now to the call
of the party that honored them. They
are winning the love and respect of all
good Demecrata by their present manly
coarse, and they can afford to lingh at
the threats of the malcontents and sore
heads. The people will sustain them.

VTb Sad the following in the 8m, a ora-
zy greenback sheet printed at Griffin :

the second plaoe, Mr. Hammond does not
represent the Demooraey of Falcon conn'

and in the third plaoe, nnder all the cir-

The Columbus Times disclaims as fol
lows ;
The Macaw Telmeafh says that it
believes Utah eewypitiniinnnil newspaper
, Pacific Biilroad has been approached
one party or the other with offers of
pay. We do not know what papers are
inclnded in the Telegraph's “promin
ent” list, bnt wo know that the Colum
bus Times, without being an advocate of
tho Southern Pacific particularly, has
more earnestly opposed the Ttxae Pacific
or Tom Scott’s scheme than any other
paper in Georgia; and ve take this occa
sion to say that the Times has never re
ceived or been promised a dollar for its
opposition to or advocaoy of any Pacific
road. It opposes tho Tom Scott scheme
purely, as wo have said heretofore, be
cause we regard it as a scheme to per
petuate the commercial vassalago of tbe
South to the North.

We quote the following from the
Chronicle and Constitutionalist:
Death cf Bev. James M. Dickey.—
Bev. James M. Dickey, a most worthy
minister of the North Georgia Confer
ence, died yesterday at tbe residence of
Mr. Joseph Thomas, near the city. He
has been sick for several months.
A Little Mixed.—Two editorial arti
cles—one on “Humors of Divorce,” the
other on the “Speaker of the House”—
appeared in the Chronicle of Sunday,
which greatly astonished the readers of
this journal and aboat which some words
of explanation are necessary. The hu
mors of divorce paled before the state
ment that “The telegram that announces
this se-ber States show that a large num
ber of the present members will have io
stay at home.” The calculation of chan
ces concerning the Speakership of the
next Honse was made very intricate and
mysterion3 by the off hand announce-
ment that “Mr. Cox, to nse Theodore
Hook’s witticism, has snnk by bis ferity,
and is generally regarded rio-comico
family jar, states that ‘many aged citi
zens have greatly enjoyed this trial’,
The Chicago Inter-Ocean says the Pres

Mr. Hayes he has nothing to live for.
In the Forty.Bixth Congress, as in the
Forty-fifth, the canoidate for Speaker,
who reoeives anything like the solid sap-
port of the Sonth, will be elected. The
control of the office is in tbe hands of tbe
Sontbern Representatives if they can
agree upon a candidate. The Sontbern
vote elected Mr. Randall before, and ic is
highly probable that it will be given to
him egain. To him the Sonth is princi
pally indebted for the defeat of the Foroe
Dili in 1875; in appointing his committees
he has shown tbe Sonth marked consider
ation, and be is not likely to lose tho sup
port of any considerable number of
Sonthern members.
The Berrien oonnty News walks off
with the bine ribbon. It says “that Mr.
Azt Panlk, of Irwm connty, hilled a ral-
tle-sna&o a few days ago that measured
nine feet and two inohes long and had
twenty-five rattles.”
The Constitution pnts it this way:
While the independents and bogus
traenbackers are pawing np tbo dirt and
bellowing aboat fraud in the Barnesviile
eonvention, Colonel Stewart, who was de
feated by the ao-oalled “fraud,” made a
speech in Griffin the other day in whioh
he announced himself satisfied with the
aotion of the convention, and declared
himself for Hammond. Sorely, if be is
satisfied, Mr. Arnold and his strikers
.onght to be. Why should the bogus
greenbackers complain? Their altitude
would have been tbe same if Colonel
Stewart bad been nominated. In that
case they would have deolared that Colo
nel Hammond bad been defrauded, and
we should have bad no end of appeals to
his friends to mske a bolt. This sort of
thing is worn oul; it is frayed; it is too
tbin to talk abont. If Colonel Stewart
bad been the nominee tbe same ery of
frand would have been raised, and the
same arguments made to tho Hammond
men.
We are surprised to find tho following
leaded paragraph in tho Columbus En
quirer:
General Joseph B. Johnston said, in
recent speech: “In times like these
party loyalty is a virtue—a true exhibi
tion of patriotism as one shows in time of
war, standing by his country at his
country’s call. All of our hopes of resto
ration are centered in the Democratic
party. We must stand by it.”
We suppose the Enquirer makes an ex
ception to this declaration in the case of
its favorite in the Seventh District.
Tax Newnan Herald remarks:
The Borne Tribune cells Gen. Gordon
a “redoubtable blatherskite,” on aoooont
of going into Felton’s district and stamp
Ing it for Jndge Lester. That psper says
General Gordon by this course will lose
votes before the next General Assembly
in bis candidacy for re-election to tbe
Senate. Gordon is the eboiee of the peo
ple of Georgia as his own successor to
tbe position he now ooonpies, and bis
oonrse In the Seventh distrlot in behalf
of the election or Lester, the osndldate of
tbe organized Democracy of that distriot,
will bnt add to his strength and render
his election almost if not altogether quite
unanimous.
Ton surely haven’t heard of that “big
gun' whioh is to blow Gordon oat of
sight.
An unknown man, supposed to be
tramp, wea found dead near Savannah
Tuesday morning. He was “apparently
about forty years of age, close shaven,
sandy hair, heavy obin whiskers and
moustache of sandy color, and apparent
ly not tha least emaciated. He wore t
pair of black ribbed cloth pants, white
shirt and oloth gaiters, and an open
black straw hat quite new.”
The News tells of a somewhat nugular
character who is a daily attendant at tho
Mayor’s coart in Savannah. Sho is
very respectable looking negroes named
B&chel Gomas, who for a year past has
been coming “early and takes her place
at the railing in the corner formed by
the door opening against the railing. In
this position she cannot be crowded, bnt
can see and hear everything. She
listens with the closest attention
every case, and whenever the Mayor
delivers tbe sentence of a prisoner her
face brightens with a smile of eatia’ac-
tion. She coincided with the Mayor yei-
ter day in ell his decisions except one, ai

tory, and that was in the cue of a sus
picious charaoter who was fined two dol.

Sudden Death.—On Snnday morning
last the startling news was brought t,
Forsyth that Mr. Isaac N. Mays was
foana dead near Gulfetsvilie. He lived
on the Thomas placs on the Osmulgee
liver, and was in Gnlletsville on Satur
day night, leaving for his home appar
ently as well and cheerful as ever. Next
morning bis body was found on the road
side. There were no marks of violence,
except a little brnisa in the forehead, oc
casioned orobably by his fall on the
ground. He bad been having chills.
HiB remains were brought to Forsyth
and interred on Monday.
To the Macon Faik.—The Directors
of the Monroe Connty Fair Association
resolved to carry the articles on exhibi
tion to the State Fair to compete for the
premium offered to the county having
the best display. Tbe premium is $300,
and is large'enough to invito an earnest
effort to win.
On Wednesday, the 16th mst., Hon
orable Thomas Hardeman, of Macon, de
livered an able address on the Fair
Grounds. He is one of the most perfect
orators we have ever beard, and never-
fails to offer a pleasant entertainment io
his hearers. On this occasion he compli
mented the people of Monroe oonnty on
the fine display of the Fair, farm pro
ducts and other things, and congratulated
them that the condition of tho farming
people was sorely improving. He said
he had no desire to thrnst a political
speech on this audience, bnt he pnt in
some timely words for the organized
Democracy. He counseled against the
divisions which some are encouraging in
the ranks of the party to follow after in
dependents.

A Gwink-teb Hunt-—Mr. Cole, the
traveling salesman of MoBier, Bahmam &
Co., safe oompaDy of Cincinnati, is a
sharp fellow, ves, a very abrewd man, bnt
the boys got him last Thursday night.
They took him ont “gwine-ter” hunting,
and learned him all abont that exoiting
sport. The night was dark and a oold,
drizzling rain was falling, bnt then it was
just tbe night to bag the game. Those
who do not nnderstand this still bunt are
informed that, to enjoy it to perfeotion,
one of the parties most be decidedly
greeB, and also very fond of night hunt
ing sports. This verdant party is plaoed
in a deep gully, with a large bag to catoh
tbe game whioh is sure to go that way.
The balance of the crowd go off in an
other direotion to rouse up the animals,
bnt really just go home and leave tbe
fellow in tbe ditoh to take his own time
abont it. His return is anxiously await
ed, and on his arrival there is a good
time generally, if tbe sold paity takes it
“juBt as it was meant.” The man. who
has sold so many safes here was himself
sold on this oocasion.
Just fob Fun.—There are numbers of
men in every connty, - in every State,
who are known as “standing” candidates
for office. They are always ready to ran
np their flag as the election day gets in
sight. They are almost always beaten,
bnt are never disccur: ged. They rnn
for the excitement of the race—for the
fan of it. They seem to entertain tbe
philosophical view, that there is always
more solid comfort in digging the bait
than there ib in bringing home tbe fisb.
In 1837.—At an adjourned term of

How >i»t it is In tbe San.
Cornhill Msgnzine.1
We can measure the quai tily of beat
that the sun constantly emit?, because
we OBn measure the amount received by
onr earth whioh intercepts about the 2,-
300,000,000th part of aUtheligbt and beat
emitted by tbe sun. We thns find that in
every sooond of time tbe son emits as
much bent ns would resolt from tbe oom-
bnstion of 11,600,000.000 tons olooa). In
passing it mast be convenient to notice
that each portion of the sun’s surface, as
large as onr ea*tb, emits asmuoh beat per
second as would result from the combus
tion of 1;000,000,000 ton* of coal—a sim
ple and easily remembered relation. Now,'
it is easily oalcnlated from thiB tbat if
tbe sun’s whole mass consisted of coal,
and could burn right oat to tbe last ton,
maintaining till then the present rate of
emission, the supply would not last more
than 5,000 years. As the san bas most
certainly been- omitting light and heat
for a far longer period than this, the idea
tbat tho solar fire is thus maintained is,
of course, altogether untenable. Taere
are, however, many other reasons for re
jecting tbe idea that tbe san is composed
of burning matter, using the word “burn
ing” in its proper sense, accordidg to
which a piece of coal in a fire is burning
where apiece of red-hot iron is notburning
though burning hot. In like manner we
findourselves compelled the reject the be
lief that the san may bs a body raised at
some remote epooh to an intense heat
throughout its entire mass and gradually
cooling. For we fiod tbat in the conrse
of a few thousand years each a mass
would oool far more than tbe snn has
oaoled (if he has cooled appreciably at all)
even within tbe historic period; and we
have evidenoe that be has poured his heat
on the eartfi daring periods with whioh
tbe duration of tbe bnman racs is bnt as
a seoond amid centuries, while the dura
tion of hiatorio raoes Is utterly lost to oom
parisou.
Tun Case Strongly Stated.
Hon. Clarkson Potter’s Letter Declining a Cor-
gressional Benomination.l
To day onr industries are paralizsd be
cause the men who have wealth are
afraid to lend it, not for want of good oe-
onrity, not beosnse they oannol get satis
faotory Interest, but solely beoausa they
are uncertain as to tbe dollar in which
they are to be repaid. They will lend on
seourity for thirty or sixty days at very
low interest, beoanse if Congress should
attempt to ohange the measure of values
they can get their money back before the
change oonld be accomplished; and men
will borrow in the same way for the same
reason. Bnt snob brief loans are of bnt
little help to tho oommnnity. To be of
general advantage capital must be perma
nently invested, end to-day the capitalist
hesitates to invest his money in enter
prises whioh he knows will famish bim
both good security and proper profit be-
canBs he cannot tell what, three or five
years from now, is to be the siZ9 of the
dollar in which he is to bs paid. Un
doubtedly a uniform currenoy of Treasu
ry notes possesses great advantages, and
bnsiness oonld bo done even in a fiat cur
rency if receivable for Government dues
(although not otherwise redeemable,) pro
vided the amount of it were fixed. A re
deemable ourrenoy, on tbe other hand,
need not be limited in amonnt. Bnt a
currenoy whioh is neither redeemable
nor fixed in amount, but is liable to be
changed in value by legislation, is, of all
currencies, the one most destructive to
business. For myself, I believe that if
Congress oonld be abolished for two years
tbe industries of tho oonntry would be re
viving within a montb; but jnstso long as
the agitation for changing the measure of
values goes on jast so long will those in
dustries be kept down.
Wbat Senator McDonald Thinks
Iiterviewin N. Y. World.]
Will Mr. Voorhees be elected to tbe
next Senate? Or is it likely that Mr.-
Hendricks will be in the way?’
Oh, no; Mr. Hendricks will not allo w
bis name to be used. Mr. Vcorbees will
__ course be sent back to tbe Senate. We
are all united m that determination. Mr.
Yoorhees made an energetic and brilliant
canvass, and he deserves the reward of
an election.’ ...
‘Now, about tbe party strength mthe
next Congress.’
‘Well, in tbe next House there will be
at least one hundred and seventy Demo
crats, which will give ns»majority of
not less than thirty-eight. In tbe Senate
we Will have forty-two, perhaps forty-
five members, giving ub a majority of
eight' or eleven. As the Senate now
stands there are thirty-nine Republicans,
thirty-six Democrats and one Independ
ent—Davis, of Illinois.’
What about the future of this Green
back party? Will it, do you think, ever
gain a basis of growth and power suffi
cient to give it a long lease of life and
make it one of the parties of the future?*
•No, I think that the Greenback party
has reached the cnlminating point of its
growth in the Northwest at least. There
will be a great many men in the North
west in favor of a full currenoy and oppos
ed to any contraction, bat no such party
will ever grow into a substantial living
power.
•Now, Senator McDonald, what aboat
1880?’
‘Why, I have no doubt that we will bo
successful in electing a Democratic Presi-
dent.’ . ,
'Do yon think that tbo Greenback party
will live long enough to take a part in
tbat election?’
Doubtless the Greenbackers will main
tain an organization and pnt a candidate
in the field then, bnt I think it very im
probable that it will carry an electoral
vote.’
‘What is your notion as to probrb.e
candidates in 1880?’
Oh, it’s too early to speculate on that
subject. I think Indiana will have a
candidate for the Democratic nomination.
Farther I have no opinion to express,
txiept that it is my belief that no Presi
dent of tbe United States will ever be
selected from the Eastern States again.’

politioal cataclysm. We summarize as
follows :
John Sherman—I am pained at tbe rev'
elation. Tbe Eliza Pinkston bnsiness was
nothing to compare with it.
Bev. J. A. Garfield—I am almost par
alyzed by this exposition of turpitude
feel tbat tbe man who only takes bribes
from paying rings is a white-sonied angel.
JameB G. Bliino. (with a smile)—Mr.
Tilden should have used tbe original Mul-
ligan cipher. I am surprised to see tbat
Ur. Tilden baa not oommenoed bis de
fense by fainting on a church porob. It's
a big thing when the boys are on yonr
trail.
Old Pomeroy—Icis absolutely shock
ing. It beats any thing that 1 ever heard
of in tho Subsidy line.
Et-Attorney-General Williams—Seems
to me people onght to quit talking about
tbat old Landaulet now.
Ex-Secretary Belknap—I am aston
ished at the frauds whicn were attempt;
cd. I claim to be a judge of fraud,
have seen nothing equal to it since I left
Grant’s Cabinet.
Schuyler Colfax—A pitiable affair; far
worse, in my opinion, than anything
brought ont in the Credit Mobilier im-e*
tigation. Whatever may be sail o
Oakes Ames, it cannot be eaid that he was
ever reduced to the absurd extremity of
using a cipher.
EobertC.8chenck—Mr. Tilden simply
attempted to stock the political cards and
beat four aces with a bob-tail flush. Ar
I remarked to Lord Beaconsfield concern
ing the Emma Mine exposure, “Sir, it is
a disgraceful and most deplorable affair.”
Simon Cameron—I am too muob
shocked to talk to-day. I nm losing
faith in man’s honor; bnt I hope that
this showing np will have a tendency to
cheapen votes for Don hero In Pennsyl
vania thiB fall.
Deacon McKee—Have heard nothing to
eqnal it in political skullduggery since ~
got out.
E. P. Noyes—Perfectly demnible,
Beats indexing all hollow.
These are the only “views” that we
were able to obtain yesterday. We have no
doubt that Grant, Shepherd, Babcock,

Negotiations have been on foot for
some days by two parties, one in Eng
land and one represented in Paris, for
tbe purohase of tbe London Dally Tele
graph. The only quostion is a matter of
price. The sum asked is .£950,000. The
oirculation of this paper is an average of
200.000 drily, and Lawson, Levy & Mobs
are willing to’sell and stmt a new paper.
The Times is rapidly losing circulation
and isflaeoce. Its circulation does net
oxoeed 75,000 daily, if as maoh, on an
average. Its editorials are leaden and
prosy, inopportunely soientifio and often
silly, for a loading journal of Europe. I
am assured that a new “management”
will be shortly established to give to the
“Xhunderer” more czone at least. The
Daily News is tbe next most progressive
daily London paper, its circulation being
on an average 120,000 per day.

Brighton, England, has been startled

twelve feet from the ground. The cour

wheel of this height was only outdone by
the dexterity with which tbe machine

champion bicyclist ventured to try a ride
on this monster, and found it necessary
to diner ignominioasly to a lamp post in

The wont of opposition to the Demo

the politioal oanvass of all exoitsment,
and made tbe people Bilent spectators to
tbe disgusting exhibitions of popular
passion and wrangling in the Fourth,
Seventh and Ninth Districts. Ic tbe
Third no opposition bas been agitated to
General Cook, and his return to Congress
is a settled conclusion. In the Second
Distriot, Hon. James L. Seward, of
Thomas oonnty, annoanosd himself an in

Mr. Seward saw no substantial issue with
his party and no good to result from
springing a division at this jnnotnre, and
actuated by motives that all approved,
he repaired tho temporary breach by
withdrawing. This left Mr. Smith with

judge hansell.
This veteran jurist seems to have no
opposition in the Southern circuit, and,
from present indications, the Legislature
will have only a matter of form to go
through in his rc-election. It would be
a great relief to that body if it could be
so in all the circuits of tbe State.
JUDGE KLDDCO,
of the Pataula oircuit, being about to
cliauge bis residence from Cuthbert to
Ss. Louis, Mo., a few weeks ago, privately
tendered bis resignation to Governor
Colquitt, in favor of his former lew pait-
ner, Hon. Arthur Hood, who wa3 ap
pointed ad interim, and now htlis the
office which would have expired next Jan
uary under the new Csnatitution. It
had been known several months that
Jndge K. would retire, and a race for the
office was pending in a quiet way between
the present incumbent and Hon. Levi C.
Hoyl, of Terrell connty, from which
two, there being no other candidate, tbe
Legislature wilt have to chco3e a Jndge.
The discussions produced by the resig
nation and appointment wiil probably in
vest this election with more excitement
than would have attended it.
Judge Hood is the older man, has long
resided in this part of the State, and
ranks with the able lawyers, has many
warm friends in tbe Legislature who will
support him, and no inconsiderable num
ber of persons who oppose his election.
Mr. Hoyl is a younger man, though of
ripe years, and many of constant, sue
ceesfnl practice—is regarded as a safe,
sound, prudent and well behaved lawyer,
enjoying the foil respect and confidence
of tho people and lawyers; but is less
known over the State than his competi
tor.
D2FACT0 JUDGE.
There is a singular fact connected
with this appointment, which bas been
brought out. The omission of Governor
Colquitt to observe that Colonel Hcod
was not eligible to the office, and tbat be
was expressly prohibited by the old and
the new Constitution from making tbs
appointment of a Representative of the
Legislature—cf which body he is still a
member—and could not have resigned,
so as to bs eligible, before the term of
two years shall expire. The new Con
stitution expressly retains all officers of
the government whose offices were not
abolished. Not having resigned, he will
bo a member of tbe House, until his suc
cessor is qualified. And if the Governor
should convene tho assembly in extra
session now, the summons would call
Judge Hood from the bench to the legis
lative halt. The disability will,however
have passed away before the election by
the Legislative shall take placs.
There is a good class of practical work
ing men from this part of the State in
the Senate and House, who, by reason of
experience and ability will bo ready to
move off smoothly with the work before
them. And we anticipate that their la*
bors will please the peopla of
Southwest Georgia.

scopical and chemical examination, and
I have discovered a vast number of ann
ate organic living particles, which might
properly be termed sporules, baying a
diameter varying from one-ten-ihou-
eandth to one-twenty-tbeuaanth of an
ineb; and also a numerous living animal-
culm, together with minute particles of
fatty bodies, scales from the human body
and fibres from the bedding and clothing.
I have observed similar particles in the
blood of yellow fever patients, and have
found bacteria in the air and in the blood.
The blood was ixtrained immediately
after extraction under the microscope.
I have endeavored to ascertain whether
these particles, or the matters obtained
from the air where yellow fever wa3 pre
vailing, would have any effect upon liv
ing animals. Numerous experiments
were made. These substances infected,
subcataneonsly, into animals produced
irritant effects, but not death, so far as
the experiments bava been carried.
The blood of yellow fever patients un»
der the microscope differs essentially from
that of the malarial fever patients; in
the former disease tho blood corpuscles
rapidly assume a crenated form, with
minute transudations upon the surfaces.
In a severe case of yellow fever tbo blood
often contains small particles possessing
a vibratory motion. I have also observ
ed bacteria and a singular delicate fungus
in tbs blood of yellow fever patients.
Blood has been allowed to stand and the
development of the fungus has been
watched. If freBh blood from yellow fe
ver patients be injeoted into an animal it
will produce fever, bnt no animal has yet
died from it, as before stated. If, how
ever, the blood be allowed to stand for a
short time—say several hours—it will un
dergo chemical change or putrefaction;
and then will prove rapidly fatal to ani
mals, even when injected in minute quan
tities nnder the Bkin.
Fresh black vomit introduced subcuta
neously aots as a local irritant, and also
produces fever. If black vomit be taken
from the stomach of a dead man, or if
that from a living person be allowed to
undergo putrefactivelchange, it destroys
in a few hours the life of an animal to
which it may be administered under th«
skin.
The black vomit, in many cises, a short
time after ejeotioa becomes filled with low
forms of vegetable and animal life, Buch
as tho spores or thalli of torrulae, the or
ganized bodies in yeaat/and bacteria. I
have noticed as characteristic of the se
cretions and excretions in yellow fever'an
exceedingly delicate fangns, which is ev
idently a species ofthe plant which pro
duces fermentation in beer and yeast.
1. As to the nature of the disease. Yel
low fever may be regarded ss s disease
depending solely upon ohanges of heat,
moisture and other climatlo conditions,
toting npon the human constitution in a
certain state; or to the absence of ozone
or eleotrioity from the atmosphere. Bat,
if this theory were trae, the disease would
appear In all quarters of the oity simulta
neously, and not ramify, as it does, from
a focus, and along lines of travel. A
modification of this theory might be this:
that beat and moisture, and surrounding
climatic conditions, affeoting the oonaii-
tution, when in a certain state, oaused the
development of a certain poison in the
system thas aoted npon and in this peon-
liar Btate, whioh is capable after being dt«
veloped of propagating itself; saoh prop
agation being dae to two oauses: 1. Tbe
direct emission of some poison from the
person inferred, either from tbe breath
or the seoretione. 2. Such poison may
be conveyed by minnle forms of plant or
animal life, the plant or animal finding a
nidus for its growth in secretions, as bl&ok
vomit and the dejec'.a front tbe Intestines,
and when excreted, oonveyiug the poison
by being wafted (about by currents of air.
3. Yellow fever may be due te special
germs indigenous to a limited portion of
the world. It may be supposed that this
germ exists independent of tbe human
organism and may be transported in ships,
etc; that it thrives in its native locality,
and whilst it propagates outside of that
locality, it will not exist for any great
length of time, frost killing it. With
this theory may be ooupltd the hypothe
sis that these germs have potency only
when in oontaet with diseased matter.
W> would be glad, did space permit, to
follow the Doctor still farther, but we
do not doubt that his investigations will

How will it be when the rotes fadf
Ont ot the garden and out cf ths glade ?
When the fresh pink blcom of tho sweet br.e
Tbat leans irom the celllike tbe cheek of a chili
Is changed for dry hips on & thorny hnsh?-
Then, scarlet and carmine, the groves will flash.
How will it be when tho autumn flowers
Wither away from their leafless bowers. .
When sunflower and starflower and goldch-ro-
Glimmer no more from the frosted sod.
And tbe hillside nooks are empty and cold. ■-
Then the forest tops will bo gay with gold.
