Another Suicide. — The Savannah
Hews gives the fall particulars of the find
ing of the body of an unknown man, well
dressed end apparently in good circnm-
8tence?, in a swamp adjacent to that city.
The dead man had perpetrated the act
several days previonaly, and was past
recognition. In the right hand the fata!
pistol was still firmly grasped, the ball
which bad porforated the brain having
cansed instant death. We quote from
the Sines:
Tho following description of the de
ceased, with a list and description of the
artioles fonnd on the remains, whioh «e
also give, may possibly lead to an tdenli
Scation:
The deceased was apparently about fifty
years of age; was abont five feet four
inches iu height, of good build, rather
stout; wore heavy aaudy whiskers,
slightly gray, and was partially bald. He
was clothed in a good suit of oasstmere,
green and black stripes, and bis entire
underclothing was perfectly new, as were
also his gaiters, whtoh apparently had
been worn but a short time. His shirt
was striped white linen, and hia hat was a
black felt. The right eye-tooth was miss
ing, his ether teeth being apparently per
fect.
Tho pistol, which was found tightly
datebed in the right hand, tho index fin
ger resting on the trigger, is a new silver-
mounted, four-barrel, Hopkins’ XL, No.
4, N.Y.
On the third finger of the right hand
was a plain gold ring, with a _ Masonic
emblem, greatly worn. Oa the inside of
the ring was the following inscription
“Virtus junxit mors non separdbit." Hia
calls were fastened with gold cuff-button?,
npon the face of which wero engraven
Masonic and Odd Fellowship emblem?.
The cellar-button was gold, and had one?
contained a stone, which was missing.
A pair of gold rimmod eye-glasses, in a
black morocco case, was foand in his vest
pocket, and a silver tobacco case was
fonnd in the right pants pocket. _ The
top was badly scratched, showing that nn
inscription or name bad once been en
graven upou it, and had been carefully
erased. A two-bladed pocket knife,
white handle, was also fonnd in the same
pocket. We understand there were no
money or papers found. The articles
enumerated are now in the possession of
tho Coroner.
Jucos Thcmpkinb’ resignation took
place on Thursday and his sneoessor has
not yet been designated.
Thb annual regatta of the Savannah

thief, captured and brought him over to
Savannah with a lot of etolen property,
landed the tatter in the office of a well
known Magistrate, and told ths darkey
to ecoot back to Carolina if he did not
wish to go to the penitentiary. I: was a
regular coupde’ etat and neatly executed,
displaying shrewdness and boldness on
the part of the Georgia darkey.
We regret to learn that Mr. Wm. Dun

A Friend's Devotion.—Constitution
When Coloael Aitton was ehot down in
the reoent affray whioh caused his death,
Mr. William Janes was one of the fir,t
friends at his side. He ministe ed to
him in all bis suffering and never ouce
left him from tho hour be fell to the mo
ment when his grave was filled. Saoh
devotion is as rare es it is beantifnl.
However, it was no donbt a pleasure for
tho friend who bestowed it.
Tee Constitution remarks that the many
friends of Eav. W. F. Harrison, D. D.,
in Atlanta will be glad to learn of his re
flection as chaplain of tho National
House of Representatives. Tbia ia his
second term in an office which he has so
hoourabiy filled, ana his re-electioa was
richly deserved.

ly beloved.
Tbub Bill Fouud.—The Dispatch
says the grand jury ot Dooly county re
turned a true bill against thirteen young
men ooguged in breaking open the jail

The Gibson Trial Abroad.—Augusta
News: The mnrder of poor Coleman was
wanton in the extreme, and no valid ex

moral sense of the publio every where is
being eiirred in this matter.
Death or aw Aozd Lady.—Sauders-
ville Herald: Mrs. Fatienoe Saffold, aged
eighty-five years and six months, died at
her rcsidenoe, some two miles west of
Sandersville, on Sunday the ICtb instant.
The parents of Mrs. Saffold moved to this

Not Destroyed.—Atlanta Post t Ex
perienced frnit growers say that the peach
crop is notdestroysd but seriously injur
ed, and the apple crop is not hurt.
Nicely Done.—The Post says: Lucin
da Evans, who had appropriated the
property of another to her own nse, in
Macon yesterday, thought to evade the
law by ooming to Atlanta. A telegram
was r.-ceived at police headquarters yes
terday evening, from O. F. Adams, of
Macon, requesting the authorities to look
out for Lucinda. The matter was put in
to tho bands of Officer Eddins, who suc
ceeded m capturing the surprised woman
at a ne-ro bearding house, and, within
thirty minuits after the dispatch was re
ceived, Lucinda changed her boarding
place to the station house.
Mb. Ed. Johnston, of Griffin, narrowly
escaped death ihe other day by falling
in front of a train in attempting to rnn
across the track. The News says the
air-brakes stopped the locomotive just
over where he had fallen. Mr. Johnston
rolled ont of the way.
. Seasonable.—A nice rain on Monday
did much good to gardens and corn. The
latter is beginning to oome np. We
hope a large crop will be raised this
year.
Cbiuz Should be Punished.—We
clip the following from a lengthy article
in the Enquirer-Sun:
It individuals knew that mnrder was
punishable by death, they would be mnoh
more careful how they used the knife
and pietc'; be more apt to refrain from
the gratification ot paeaion and private
revenge. They wonld not get drunk and
then plead that they knew not what they
were doing when they lake a human life.
* * * Let publio opinioa establish
well the fact that crime is to be punished,
that it can expect no sympathy, that
money can’t buy off the penalty, nor elo
quence release the prisoner; that mnrder
znusfbs expiated on the gallows, and
then the pistol and knife will be laid
aside, and the vicious be forced to think
before acting.
Another Coming Man.—The Quitman

The Weather in Bomb.—Courier. The

Death of Da. S. B Law, City Physi
cian. Sun Enquirer: Yesterday morning
at 7:40 o’clock. Dr. S. B. Law, after a
brief illneBs of pneumonia, breathed his
last. The doctor has practiced medicine
in this city since 1863, and has made
scores of friends. He was born in Lib
erty oounty, Georgia, May 21at, 1832, and
was consequently 47 years of age. He
was the son of Rev- Josiah Law, a well
known Baptist minister. Receiving
fine education in a college near his home,
he was sent to Jefferson Medical College,
Poiladelphia. Pa., where he graduated in
1855. In 1856 the came to Columbus,
and married Hub Georgia A. Harden,
sister of Bev. M. B. Harden, now pastor
ef the Baptiet Church in LaGrange. In
1852 he joined the Baptist Church, and
has since been a member. Soon after hia
marriage he began practicing medicine
in Twiggs county, Georgia, where he re
mained several years. In 1863 he came
to our city, and to the time of his death
has been actively engaged in his profes
sion. Three years ago he was elected
City Physician, and filled that position
with credit up to the time of his death.
He was a hard worker, a talented gentle-
man, and a man of noble and generous
impulses. In him the poor and weak
fonnd a friend.

A Painful Accident.—News: We re

gaged in fixing freight rates, and reports
will be made by tho several committees

Making a test Case.—Several firemen
of Augusta, who were drawn as juror?,
have been fined for non-attendance. They
claim exemption from jury dnty under
the laws of the State, and have employed
counsel to defend their cause. The case
ia pending before the Judge of the County
Court, and will be regarded with interest
in Macon and elsewhere.
Mb. Ioksbip, the Methodist Revival-
ist, has been invited to hold a series of
meetings in Savannah.
A Voice From the Chronicle and
Constitutionalist—In reforming pub
lio opinion, the first thing to be done is
to make the carrying of concealed weap
ons not only odious, bat inconvenient.
Until that shall have been done, the
bloody drama will be re-enacted. The
horror at Atlanta did not prevent the af
fray af Waynesboro. Pistols, plHS whis
ky, are among the curses of the land that
need reforming altogether.
In oar excerpts from the Georgia press
relating to the Atlanta and Macon homi
cides, though folly endorsing ail that has
been written against the enormity of
crime and the necessity and propriety of
punishing it with the utmost prompti
tude, yet we refrain this morning from
printing qnite a number of editorial ex.
tracts from ocr Georgia contem
poraries because too inflammatory
in their tone, and calculated to awaken
prejudice in the popular mind of this
community in lieu of promoting the ends
of justice. The Telegraph has suffi
ciently made known its views upon the
issues that have been made np and the
bloody events that have transpired, and
does not intend to pnraue the role of
persecutor. Let the law take its course.
Look out for Cold Weather.—Yes
terday morning, as we came up to our
office, we saw an old sow in a wood lot
industriously gathering sedge gras?. She
carried the grass about twenty yards, and
had enongh of it piled np in one place to
fill a large mattress. On the same day,
we saw a man with a heavy overcoat on
moving rapidly southward. If this does
not predicdicate cold weather, what do it
etand for?—Dawson Journal.
Mb. William Duncan, of Savannah,
we learn from the News, is dead. He was
bom at Aberdeen, Scotland, and attained
lo th9 age ot foot score years. Mr. Dun-
can came to America (n 1818, and was,
for many year?, identified, as agent, with
the steamboat transportation of the Sa
vannah river. At his death he was the
senior ef the firm of Duncan & Johnston.
For many years he has acted as the Pres
ident of the Savannah Hospital, and did
muoh to promote the- success and pros
perity of thatinBtitnlion. The wotld has
known and respected Mr. Ducoux for
many years. The News says:
Hly, indeed, oan Savannah spare from
her roll of honor each men as William
Dimoan, and the regret thronghont this
community will be general upon this an
nouncement.
The Uysteby Solvid.—Tho gentle
man, an nccourt of whose enlolde we
printed yesterday, has been identified to
be Mr. H. Moore, of Jacksonville. He
had made an unfortunate orange grove
speculation near that city,buying at $1,600
and selling for {COO. He had a wife also
in an asylum in New Orleans, and a
young daughter at sohool in Portland,
Maine. He was not intemperate, and hia
death seems to have been the reenltof
mental depreeaioD.
Savannah bonds are bouyant at a con
siderable advance. They are now worth
76It should never be forgotten that
Savannah has not repudiated one dollar
of the principal of her debt. A moder
ate redaction npon the interest only was
asked and granted. And this, in view ef
htfr sore calamities from the pestilence
was surely not an unreasonable- demand.
The 21et of March was the 54th anni
versary of the laying of the corner-stone
of the Greene and Palaski monuments by
Lafayette. The News reproduces all the
interesting proceedings on that occasion,
and has been engaged tor some days in

City, such as the old "Exchange” and
Chatham Academy. These reminiscences
see very intereating.
Atlanta has about one hundred and
fifty newsboys of ail sizes, colors and ac

In the osBi of the Augusta firemen who
were arraigned before Jadge Ere for non-
attcodanoe npon a jury summon?, the

ally promising, and farmers, generally,
are hopeful and bouyant. Farmers are
geneiatly in good condition—fenoes good
and lands being pat in order—while com
paratively but little Western corn will be
needed to make a crop with. Oats and
wheat are very proaming since the recent

Cuthbebt has received 8,000 bales of
cotton this season—more than any year

CiL. Eutherford will deliver his Paris
lecture in Cuthbi-rt on the 5th of April.
Blocker in a new Bole.—Fort Gaines
department of the Appeal:
We beard of a most interesting spec
tacle on Wednesday last. The dignified
and erudite B. B. B. was, wo under
stand, soen playing leap frog on the
streets. The boy that he jumped over
did not have to stoop much, but he must
have seen a vision cf lightning rods as
those legs straddled him. Wish we could
have seen the performance.
The Fort Valley Mirror reports fine

Not to Be Shaken.—Bainbndge
Democrat: General Gordon’s letter to
Dr. Felton is on our first p3ge. All of
the Feltons ip Christendom, both male
and female, contd not defame the exalted
character of John B. Gordon.«
Fearful Statistics.—The same paper
says : During the deliveronoi of his ser
mon on “Intemperanoe,” whioh we men
tioned in onr last issue, R=v. Mr. Mo-
Bryde gave the following startling statis
tics: "There are in the United StateB,

COO 000 daily customers, or one-half (he
entire population. One hundred thousand

der the ieflaenoe cf liquor ”
'Bevtval in Bainbridge.—Democrat:
All of ear churches seem to be awake
upon the all important question of salva
tion. Tho Presbyterian Church is in a
fine spiritual condition, and has recently
added largely to its membership. The
Episcopalians have also been blessed;
while the Baptists aro fighting earnestly
for tho cause of Christ.
Hatty Over Free Gbub and Plenty
cs Time to Sleep.—Irwinton Southerner
and Appeal: Daily the prisoners in our
jail pour out their souls in song. Both
Eexes are represented, and as all the
parts are carried, floods of melody creep
out through the bars and come floating
lazily over ocr quiet little town.
Personal.—The Appeal says: Colonel
Isaac Hardeman, one of the most promi
nent lawyers of Macon, was ia town last
Monday and called to see us in our office.
The geniality of Colonel Hardeman ia
only equalled by his honeBty and talent
as a man and a lawyer.
A Baid Ufon the Birds and Babbits.
—Griffin Sun: A crowd of gentlemen, in
cluding a Griffin lawyer, went out rabbit
bunting Wednesday morning, and by
dinner-time, with six gunners, they suc
ceeded in bringing in twenty-eight of the
long-eared creatures, besides quito a
number ot snipe and other birds. The
rabbits were carried on long poles with
two men to a pole. The weight of their
booty of the long-eared persuasion was
one hundred and ten pounds.
The lawyer bagged no game, but as he
was exceedingly anxious to kill a rabbit,
some wag of the party hid a dead one in
the bush and showed it to this limb of the
law, who deliberately aimed and fired,
of course securing his quarry, though no
one knows bow wild he shot from the
mark.
Oglethorpe Echo: Colonel N., of Ath
ens, is an Episcopalian of the "atraiteat
sect.”—believes in Lent, Easter, etc. He
recently asked Web Barber when was the
best time to plant potatoes. 'The dark
o’ the moon in March,’’ was the reply.
“1 really thought you were more enlight
ened, Mr. Barber, than to adhere to such
ridiculous and superstitious notion?.
Why do yon persist in such foolishness?”
says Colonel N. “Haven’t I got as much
right to plant my potatoes by the moon
as you have to worship God by the moon ?’’
replied Mr. B., whereupon the Colonel
wilted.
A Curiosity.—The Echo says:
A mulatto woman taught sohool in thiB
oounty lass year, one aide of whose hair

You Can’t Shirk.—Gainoaville Eagle:
A guano case web tried in the court one
day last week, and the broadest latitude
given for proving the worthlesenesa of
the fertilizer used, but the defendant had
signed an iron-olad note, and ihe verdict
was against him. Men that will buy gu

to the prop&r distribution of the money aris
ing from the aale of the property of the
“ Rockdale Register Publishing Co " Night

Jones ve. The ntv.o. Burglary, from
Crawford.
Bleckley, J—Summary.—1. Indio.ment
charging bnrg'aiy. bat not specifying either
th-asy-timso: the night-timo, is oezzarr-
able upon arraignment The defect, how
ever, l? not cause, for arresting the judg
ment after verdict fludfeg b irglary in the
day-time- 2. Seasonable donbt between
several offenses covered by the indictment,
should result in finding the offense of lower
grade, but when the doubt is between of
fenses (alike except tbe element .of time,
aa 1 in tne degree of p nishmsnt,) one of
whioh is coveroa and tlij other not covered
by the indictmont, noilhor cm he found.
1. As the code.distiEgaiBhss between bur
glary in the dsy-.ime and burglary in the
night-time, fixing tho term of imptisonment
and labor for the former at no less than
three nor more than fire years, and for the
latter at no less than fire nor more than
twenty years, an indictment which ia si ent
as to the time ot the burglary, except in
charging the mere date of its commission, is
It ss foil and specific than it onght to be, (
and is, therefore, dommrable. However,
after a verdict of guilty of burglary in the
day time his been returned, th* judgment
will not be arrested for tho ambigu’ty, as
such an ambiguity ia aldea by verdict. On
motion in arrest, ihe indictment will bs
treated as sufficient lo uphold the oonvi tion.
2. Where tiiereAionxbie doubtof the jury
vibrates between two effenses of uifferent
grades, buth of which aro within the terms
of the indictment, the verdict eh uld be a
finding of gouty ror the ffense of the lower
grade. Batwnere the region of doubt iB
between an offense winch :s within the in
dictment aud one wholly outside of it, and
neither includes the other, the verdict
ehould be not guilty; since, by acquittal
only can the prisoner receive the bentfit of
the donbt Hence, on an ndictment for
burglary in the day-time containing no
count for burglary m the nigh’ time, if tho
evidence leaves it reasonably doubtful
whe her the burglary was, in fact committed
in the day time, the prls-ner cannot bo con-
victod; for burglary of tho ono class does
not include burglary of the other.
Judgment reversed.
Dobson va. Dickao j, administrator. Com
plaint, from New on.
Bleckley, J 1. The plaint ff in an action
upon a egotiable instrument, barred on its
face by the statute of limitations, is not a
competent witness to prove acts or admis
sions of tho maker, which came to the plain-
t ff’s knowledge whilst he was disinterested,
tending, with the rid of written evidence, to
establish a new premise alleged to have
been ii ado to the paye9, the maker being
now dead, and the action being against his
administrator.
2 The creditor is not the agent of the
debtor in entering a credit npon the evidenco
of debt—certainly not without express au
thority In writing; and where the authority
was sufficiently definite to create the agency,
it would be sufficient to rri-e a new promise
as to thebilance, whether the credit waa
entered or not.
3. Letters, cr other detached writings
which do not describe tho debt so that it
miy bo identified with reasonable certainty,
are not of themselves enough to oonnect tne
now promise which they express or imply
with the particular debt declared upon.
Judgment affirmed
Horn vs The State. Gariying concealed
weapons, from Crawford.
Jackson, J.—1 Where iho defendant in
hia motion to continue cornea folly up to the
rule in respect to the absence of a mstoital
wi ness, the State cannot force a trial by
making a coonter-ahowing by its witness to
tbe sole effect that if defendant’s witness
testified as defendant sworn he wculd testi
fy, such evidence would be false—it being
the case that both witnesses were pieient
when and where tbe offanee is said to have
been committed, and both having-equal op
portunities to know the truth.
The counter-showing, which ihe law con
templates to be made m • pposltion to a con
tinuance, is such proof as negatives the fnot
that the witness had been subposnoaod, or
was aocessib.e, or was absent without leave,
or was not present at all on the occasion of

Editors Telegraph and Messenger: I was
much intoreated in your review of the
forthcoming monograph of Dr. Joseph
Jones oa yellow fever, and wonld be
v-ry glad to get a copy of the original
Well aware as I am of tbo patient, aocu
rate, persisteut and intelligent investiga
tion of any subject which occupies tbo
attention of Dr. Jone?, I always read
with great pleasure any contribution
that comes from his pen. Many yearB
ago his honored and lamented father, Dr.
C. C. Jones, one of the most profound
theologian?, refined and cultivated gen
tlemen, and pure patriots that I ever
know, presented me with a copy cf bis
son’s early—I may tay youthful—scien
tific productions, and I then predicted
for him a very elevated position among
modern scientists. My predictions have
been fully verified, and I think our
Southern land. is peculiarly fortunate in
enjoying ths services of Dr. Jones in his
investigations cf the mlcrosoopic features
of tho fearful ecourge which baB clad in
tho habiliments of mourning so many
Southern hearthstone?. I am gratified
to know he is of the opinioa that this
fearful scourge is due to animalcular
origin; that. is, to the fermentation of
the blood arising from the introduction
into it of atmospheric germs produced
by fomite3 of foreign origin. This has
boen my opinion from the limited knowl
edge I have of the principles of animal
and vegetable fermentation. Dr. Schmidt,
a distinguished pathologist, of New Or
leans, in a recent communication to the
New York Journal of Medicine, declares
that, in his analysis of the blood of yellow
fever patient?, he discovered no bacteria,
but found these animalcules only in a
piece of liver preserved in aloobol which
floated on the top of the liquid, and was
therefore exposed to tbe action of the
atmoephere, underwent partial decompo
sition, and, of coarse, exhibited the
presence of baoteris, the germs of which
are always present in the air. Dr.
Schmidt attributes the pathological phe
nomena, found chiefly m the abdominal
organs, to fatty infiltration acd degener
ation of the liver, kidney?, spleen and in
testines. This oondition of these organs
to aDy great extent wonld of course
greatly impair their functional activity,
and, if cot removed by absorption, would
ultimately cause the death of the patient.
He expresses tbe opinion that where tbiB
fatty infiltration .does not involve the
protopbasmio cells, that is, the cells that
are concerned in tissue formation, recov
ery i3 possible by tbe absorption of the
fatty matter; otherwise death ib inevit
able. Now, where among the moat im
portant organs that are concerned in the
eliminations of morbifio matter from
the system, their faootion is almost nen
tralized by the presence of abnormal de
posits, yon will readily perceive how im
possible it is that the equilibrium in the
fnnctions of the vital organs may be
maintained. We may ask may not these
organic changes be attributed to fermen
tation of the Mood from animalcnlar
agency, as obaeived among inferior ani
mals ? I will illustrato my meaning by
stating the fact that abont ten years age
a risease called splenic fever, in tho die
trict of Novgorod, Bussis, destroyed, in
the coarse of abont three years, 56.000
horses, cows and sheep, besides 525
human live?. Distinguished scientists
went to work to discover tho cause of
this terrible malady. Dr. Koch, a young
German physician, very enthusiastically
put into operation the powers of his sub
tie genius to investigate tbe cause of
splenic fever. Ho found the &qeuu3
humor of the ox’s eye to be the most pro
lific source of nutrition to tho rod-like
organisms called bacteria. With a small
portion of this fluid he mixed a drop of
liquid that contained these rods, and, in
a few hours, be observed countless num
bers of these animalcules pirnetting and
dancing in immeasurable gyrations. He
continued to watch these filaments, and
discovered that, after a little time, little
dots appeared within them. "These dots
became more and more distinct, until,
finally, the whole length of the organism
was studded with minnte ovoid bodies in
the outer integument like peas within
their shell.” Tneso dots proved to be
seed?, germ3 or spores of animalcules,
called bacillus anthricis, that cansed the
fermentation of tbo blood, which pro
duced tho splenic fever. Dr. Koch
proved theie spores to be the contajium
that generated this disease in its most
deadly form. He went further, and dried
the blood which contained these spares to
an almost impalpable powder. Having
treated the spore-changed blood in this
form, after four years ho inoculated a
number of mice with it, and fonnd its
action as fatal as that of bliod fresh from
tho veins of an animal suffering with
splenic fevor. There was no escape from
death after inoculation from this deadly
contagion Uacounted millions of these
spores are developed in the body of every
animat which haB died of splenio fever,
and every spore of these millions is com
petent to produce the disease.”
Yon remember that at tbe advent of yel
low fever at Savannah, a few years ago,
it made its appearance at an isclited
point, where it is sail ballast was dis
charged from a vessel whioh recently ar
rived from one of the West India Islands.
From thiB focal point the spores spread
to localities congenial to their develop'
ment, at varying distances from each
other, until, finally, the whole oity was
overshadowed with the pall of death. In
writing of Dr. Schmidt’s investigations I
omitted to mention that hk conceives
black vomit to arise from a rupture of
the venouB radicles that lie between the
epithelial or outer layer of the mnens
membrane of the stomach and its glan
dular portion. This venons congestion
is occasioned by tbe obstructed circula
tion of the liver arising from degenera
tion of its structure. Just as the dam
ming np of a stream will cause the over
flow of its small tributaries. We look
forward with cheerful hopes that the
investigations of so many distinguished
scientists under the flood of light which
recent discoveries in eoience continually
abed upon their efforts to unveil the
bidden mysteries of Nature, will be
rewarded with a measure of success at
least in retarding, if not obstructing tho
march of this fearful cyclone that haa so
desolated the heartB and fortunes of such
mnltitndea ef onr countrymen.
The subject of animal and vegetable
fermentation is one of absorbing interest,
and I might go on writing to yon for an
honr, but I know that although editors
are presumed to know everything, they
have not time to read everything. Yon
will, however, bear with me a little long,
er while I refer to a eoientifio troth which
was incidentally evolved from a question
that wav asked by a member at the
recent Agricultural Convention, whether
it was safer to ship frnita in open or
tight bores f One gentleman remarked
that he had fonnd them to keep better in
tight boxes. This, I may remark, is in
accordance with the teachings of science.
It ia known that ripe fruit absorb oxy
gen end evolve carbonio acid gas; that
Is, the living cells cf fruit?. Also that an
atmosphere, or rather, that an air com
posed of carbonio acid, preeerves fruits.
Tne world-renowmd French chemist,
Pasteur, placed under a bell glass filled
with carbonio acid twenty-four plum*;
beside it he placed twenty-fenr similar
plums uncovered. Eight days after, on
removing the plntcs from the jar he found
them round, plump and full, while those
outside cf the jar exposed to the sir
were soft, shriveled and watery. Now,
in a oommon box, however tight, it ia
impossible to entirely exclude the out-
aide air, but in tbe proeeas of exhalation
of carbonio acid and absorption of oxy
gen by the fruits, you will readily per
ceive that there must be a predominance
ot carbonic acid in the circumambient
air.-within the box similar to that which
is observed in a building crowded with
human beings with the windows and
doors closed. In the same ratio, there
fore, with the predominance of carbonio
arid in the box of frnit will be the pre
servative property of the air. It is also
known that sunlight and the oxygen of
the air ripens and sweetens fruits, by
converting the starch, of whioh they are
largely composed, into engar. The rapid
transit of frnit from one ocmmercial
point to another wonld not be sufficient
ly prolonged to endanger the souring ot
fruits by the progress of the alcoholic
into the acetous fermentation.
Although I have had no personal ex
perience in shipping fruits to market
yet, upon purely scientific principle?,
am of the opinion that tight boxing
wonld be preferable to open boxing.
Very truly yours, J b* Stevens

The Cameron Breach of Prom
ise Balt.
Ia the Oliver-Cameron case, on Thurs
day, the cross-examination of Mrs. Oliver
was continued. A number ot letters
were introduced, which witness acknowl
edged as having been written by her.
She also admitted signing a receipt for
$1,000 from Simon Cameron, in fall for
all claims whioh she had made on him,
She bad passed under the name of Gro
per, Keefner. Stuart, Baker and Oliver,
She introduced herself as Mrs. General
Sherman in Ihe parlor of the Congres
sional Hotel. She went there to see
Cameron, and when the waiter asked who
called, she thoughtlessly said Mrs. Gen
eral Sherman. It happened bat once. Th
servant at ths hotel did nst refuse her
admission to Cameron until she told him
that she was Mrs. General Sherman,
When she took the money from Cameron,
the last installment, and signed the pa
per, she intended to use the money whila
she was sick, but so much deception had
been practiced npon her that she decided
to keep back something to proseonte her
suit. Her counsel wbb to receive one-third
of the amonnt that might be recovered.
She testified that ehe went to Cameron’s
room at his request nearly every time.
She took medicine at his request, and the
purpose was understood between them,
and it was for getting rid of her trouble,
The money that he gave her was for ta
king care of her while she was sick, and
bad nothing to do with the breach of
promise suit.
THE ABMT OF THE M PINE3. , ‘
Senator ConKllng’a Neckties.
The Washington correspondence of the
Springfield Republican says: Bose oo
Conkling’s eccentricity is in neckties.
He evidently gets his ideas of ties from
the American flag, for they are almost
invariably either red, white or bine,
When the Senator came back here at the
beginning of the last session he wore
white tie, and, under hiB blonde hair, it
gave him quite an ethereal aspect. Ho
wa3 then playing the role of tbe generous
foe, and was apparently qnito inoffensive,
But later, when be began to gather him
self np for war on the President, he pat
on his red tie, the eneign of battle.
Lately, however, be baa worn mostly the
blue, as being symbolical of the state of
his feelings. He will probably continne
the bine for some time to come. If
Grant is nominated in 1880, we shall
perhaps see tho Senator with a necktie of
all three ctlora blended in brilliant har
mony.
THE SAFETY LAMP.
When the miner carried hie lamp with
its unprotected flame into the earth’s
dark recesses, ecaroely a week passed
without some fatal explosion and terrible
destruction of human life being recount
ed by the pres?. Every morning the
miner left bis wife and little oneB with
the heart-rending consciousness that it
might be the last time; that before
night he with his companions might be
taken from the pit a blackened, unrecog
nizable corpse. When Davy gave to
these miners tho safety lamp—that
triumph of applied science—with its fine
wire gauze, effectually protecting the
flame from inflammable gases, think you
not they were deeply grateful to their
benefactor ? Not less gratitude does the
physician receive who provides tor his
fellow.man an effectual means for pro
tecting his system from disease. Every
physician knows that the human system
may be rendered almost invnlnerabla to
disease. A strong constitution supple
mented by pure blood and healthful se
cretions form a protection to the system
which disease can seldom penetrate. To
cleanse and strengthen the system, re
move its imparities, and impart to it a
healthful, vigorous tone, usa Dr. Fierce’s
Pleasant Purgative Pellets and Golden

nse them to be the best cathartic, blood-

Press on the speakership
Commenting oa the nomination of Mr.
Randall for the Speckersbtp of the Hcdm
of Representative?, by the Democratic
caucus, whioh was yesterday ratified by
his election, the New York Herald says:
‘‘We congratulate Mr. Rindail on Ids
brilliant success. It is alike creditrbfcto
him and the Democratic party. It ti an
endorsement by the party not merely 0!
his personal character, but of ths policy
of moderation, retrenchment and temo-
my of which he has been so conspicacct
and detei mined a champion. - Mr. Ra&dill
is the beat choice for Speaker whioh the
nsw House could have made, and tbo
Democraiio party has reaeon to congratu
late itstif tta’. it w*s in no real dinner ot
being committed to the political, section
al and financial heresies represented by
Mr. Blackburn.”
New York Times: “Coneidertog tbs
disreputable character of moat of the op
position to Sudsll, his success is, as ik
as it goes, a victory for tho cans* cf good
government.”
Tne N. Y. Tribune considers tbo &ob<
ination of Mr. Stndall a triumph of the
Ttlden clement in the Democratic parly
and a real reinforcement for Mr. Tilda
himself, and adds: “Mr. Rindsllu*
strong partisan, and, p«rhap?, not the
most scrupulous of politicians, hat bit
record as Speak-r has shown him total
better man than we have much right to
expeot of a Democratic House, and ths
countiy ha?, therefore, received tteoevi
of each of his nominations with eoxc-
tbing like a sigh of relief.”
New York Sun: “The action ot dt
caucus was sensible and proper.”
Philadelphia Inquirer: “Mr. BandaK’j
triumph is one that will not only be fa
vorably received as an honor to a citizen
ot Philadelphia, and aa a recognition^
his splendid ability as a pariiameDtariu,
bnt also as a check to Southern schemers
who were plotting to obtain the centre!
of affairs at Washington.”
Philadelphia Ti met: “It was not a bat
tle for Randall nor a battle against BUcb-
burn. Widely aa tbe skirmishes or fac
tion ranged en tho outskirts of the con
test, the great struggle that toads rata
forget their haired* and their affection?
was on tha single issue of having tbe
Democracy voiced through the chair 0,
the popular branch of Congress by a ws
Democrat of the North.”
Philadelphia Press: “This is a gr» :
triumph for Mr. Randall, and a3 great*
check for Senator Wallace. It will
undoubtedly prove to be a strong jooifl
for Mr. Tillen. There will Du ‘‘mmio c
the ah' >n Pennsylvania, and Semis
Wallace mnst look to his laurels ”
Philadelphia Record: “Mr. Rin:L
owes his nomination to the failure c.
Southern Democrats to take advantagst- 1
their power and their opportunity. W |
have deferred rather to thair fears ibB
their wishes, in a vain attempt to COE-
ciliate Northern antagonism, not io
nizing the faot that such antagonist «
only the stock-in-trade of a party, *»-1
no longer a dominant passion of the I*'
pie.”
