= WHAT NExr.-A distinguished German
professor recently announced that if drop
of human blood was placed under a micro
scope capable of magnifying it twenty million
times larger, it would show all the kinds Of
Of animals that ever existed, or now exist on
the earth. In the blood of healthy person
the animals are quiet: in that of sick per-
son they fight. From this he draws the con
clusion that man has within him all the ele-
mens from which the universe was created.
He further says if a dead cat was flung into
a pool of water and left to deoonlpose, the
drops of water would show, when under a
microscope, all the animals belonging to the
cat species.

Mayors
Much moro than the usual degree Of interest
already centres around the coming election
for Mayor of this city, and the struggle prom
Uses to be an exciting one. The old Tammany
ring-the Tweed and Sweeny machine-will
carry Hoffman II possible; though the new
Tammany ring Of Mclean and Connolly, sensi-
BILE Of the deficiencies Of that candidate, are
afraid Of his very name and eager for any
other. But while these parts Of Tammany dis
pute their case, Fernando Wood, to the aston
ishment of every one, has come ont with a.
much vitality as If he had discovered foun-
tain Of political youth. He has been around
"buzEing," organizing and making pretty
speeches in all the wards he has visited all
the grogshops, all the prayer meetings, all the
church conventicles, festivals and lovefeasts,
all the gambling houses and all the lottery
shops, and has thus stirred up the elements Of
political power to q tremendous extent He
has discharged perfect deluge Of ridioule
upon Hoffman in all these comings and goings,
especially upon the vetoes Of our illustrious,
Incompatible, incorruptible and otherwise
funny Mayor. It has occurred to Fernando,
as to others, that the Mayors vetoes formed
chapter in his history not sufficiently
known and thus it has been shown exactly
how Hoffman protects the public interests--how
he vetoes every scheme that threatens to rob
the public purse Of sums between sixteen
cents and dollar, while II there comes along
q job with millions Of corruption in 1t he rsso-
lutely shuts his eyes, and there Is no veto
Fernando has done wonders In showing up all
this, and hereupon we must give the Tammany
leaders some good advice, for If they don't take
care Wood will make himself Mayor with the
assistance Of all this newly prepared machinery.
How can this be prevented For we do
not want to see Wood in his old place again,
though, indeed, we would rather see man Of
his efficiency and force Of character there than
to see the place held by humbug and .
nonentity. It Is, moreover, to be said for
Wood that under him the city expenditure
was only eight millions, while under those
who have been put in the same place since on
the score Of economy and honesty the expendi-
ture has risen to over twenty millions. But
Wood is not the man, nevertheless, and there
is but one way in which Tammany can prevent
his election, and that is by taking up such
sound old democrat % John Anderson, man
on whom all the good elements Of city politics
can concentrate and against whom the rings
and cliques Of plunderers can make no head
way. This Is Tammany's only SAFETY.
