yolc.nee. i'm the Moon.

Professor Winloch, of Harvard Uni
versity, reports that he has seen vol
cano in active eruption in the moon dur
ing the nights of December lst and I'd.
During the past year, astronomers have
differed in opinion as to the disappear
ance of the crater Linn@us, marked on
the best charts of the moons surface till
1868. The destruction of this crater, if it
should be the case, is stated to be the
first evidence of actually observed chan
ges going on at the surface of the moon.
The observations of Professor Winloch
would seem to confirm the conclusions
of other astronomers on this subject. The
foreign journals announce that Professor
]. H. Madler, of Bonn, who is celebrated
on account of the noon charts prepared
by himself has written a letter on this
subject. Madler has been for many years
nearly blind, but the disappearance OF
the crater Linn@us interests him as well
as other eminent astronomers. ,r t

Moral Significance of the jRepublican
Triumph-.By z. p. Whipple.

The moral significance of the struggle
which has just closed is thus found in the
fact that the good cause was best served
by its bitterest enemies. A bad institu-
ton, like slavery, generates bad type
of character in its supporters, and urges
them blindly on to the adoption of meas
ures which, intended for its defence, re-
suit in its ruin. The immense achieve
ment of emancipating four millions of
slaves, and placing them on an equality
of civil and political, rights with their
former masters, is due primarily to such
men as Calhoun and McDuffie, Davis
and Toombs, Vallandigham, Pendleton,
Belmont, johnson, and Seymour
The prejudice i'll the United States
against the colored race was strong
enough to overcome everything but their
championship of it. These persons
taught the nation that its safety depen-
ded on its being just. The most careless
glance over tile cnief incidents in the
long contest shows that all the enemies
of human freedom needed for success
was little eimoderation and good sense,
but moderation and good sense are
fortunately not the characteristics
of men engaged in doing the Devils
work for the Devils pay! ""The Lord
reigns, "a simple proposition, but one
which politicians find 1t hard to accept,
and which they often waste. immense
energies in the impoten attempt to ovsr-
iturn.-L Atlantic Monthly for, January.

Consumption InfectIous--By DR.. Henry L.
EBowdftch,


From the Atlantic Monthly for January.
1t was our fortune to attend a man
slowly dying of consumption, who, while
hopelessly and helplessly ill, was de-
votedly cared for by his wife, who at the
time felt herself, and seemed to be, in
perfect health.
Years after her husbands death, and
when she was bravely battling against
the disease, which commenced its insid-
ious attacks Immediately subsequent to
his death, she related to me the follow
ing fact, but only on my definite in
auiries as to how intimate her relations
had been with him during hisillness. 1t
seems that often, in wintry nights, that
faithful woman would arise from the side
of her husband, who was lying with his
dress drenehed with the chilling sweat
ofincreasing disease, and would persuade
him to take her warm clothing and to
lie down i'm the dry warm place she had
Just left, while, simply throwing blank
ct over it, she would take the spot that
had been previously occupied by him !!
Upon our expressing horror at the
thought of the danger she had run, and
which apparently had told with so much
power upon her, she quietly remarked
that she knew at the time the danger
that she was incurring. She had no
thought of danger to herself, and only
of her husbands comfort! "But," added
she, '.I then got what I have never re-
covered FROM" A certain vitality see M
ed to go out of her; and though her ma
ture contende6 for many years against
the entertainments of the disease, she
finally died, always believing that she
had taken consumption from her hus-
band, but with certain martyr-like joy
that such bad really been the fact.
Jz We have now in our mind other and
analogous cases, as. for example, OF hus-
bands having their first cough when in
haling the breath of their sick wives,
while ministering to their necessities
We have known daughters and sisters,
who, full of apparent health and strength,
when consumption has seized mother
or sister, have continued to sleep with
the invalid, and to breathe the same
closed-up atmosphere at night, and to
watch all day without perhaps mo-
ment of healthful out-of-doOr exercise
And we have been distressed to find not
a few of such healthy young persons
gradually beginning to suffer with in
digestion, debility, and finally cough,
and all the symptoms of consumption
In some instances, i'm fact, the attendant
has died before the life of the original
patient has ended. These facts are very
Significant; and although we are well
aware that, in some of them, other ele-
uents of disease may have had their
fatal influences, still the cases have been
full of suggestions as to the necessities
of greater precautions than We, in this
country, have usually takenin this mat
ter. -l'i Aiiiiis'. ",

issued by the Quartermaster General. 1t
is supposed there yet remain to be prin-
ted the records of about one hundred and
fifty thousand graves of deceased soldiers
and prisoners of war belonging to the
Union armies, making an aggregate Of
three hundred and five thousand graves,
and that of this whole number the names
of one hundred thousand of the occu-
pants will not at present, if ever, be re-
corded. The whole number of soldiers
who have fallen in the ranks of the
Union armies for the suppression of the
rebellion is supposed to be about three
hundred and fifty thousand, exceeding
the number of recognized graves by fifty
The number of men whose
graves are not recognized as in existence,
either as known or unknown, is suppos-
ed to be made up approximately as fol-
lows: Killed in battle and never buried,
q, 900; drowned, 5000; graves in remote
localities and not yet found, 15,0OO
graves covered by deposits OF gravel and

ACCIDENT ON THE CENTRAL OHIO
On wednesday evening, Dec. is, an ae-
cident happened on the Central Ohie
Railroad, which resulted in the death OF
two men. When the passenger train
was near Glencoe, some seven miles out
from Bellaire, the rear axle of the loco
motive gave way, letting the engine
down upon the track, and checking its
momentum so as to throw the tender
forward. Geo. Thompson, the engineer,
and - Henkel. the fireman, were in
stantly killed. The engineer had a fam
ily at Columbus, o., but we are net able
to state whether Henkelleft any family

The newspaper should be necessary

certainly various and many-sided. The
family, whose home is never frightened

Hair-Washes.

1t is only right to refer to source of
possible disease which is peculiarly wide
spread just now, and agail st which the
public should be cautioned. At the
present time there is quite rage for the
use of hair washes" or 'restorers," !"
which, whilst the charge of their being
''dves" is Indignantly repudia.ed, yet in
a short time restore the color of the
hair. The active agent in these washes
is, of course, lead. In the majority of
cases, probably, a moderate use of such
lotion would be unattended with mis-
chief; but it is worth remembering that
palsy has been known to be produced by
the long use of cosmetics con-
tanning lead. But of the thousands OF
persons who are now applying lead to
their scalps, there will doubtless be some
with an extreme susceptibility to the ac-
ton of the poison, and these will GER
tainly run no inconsiderable risk of
finding the " restoration" of their hair
attended by loss of power in their wrists.
