HELMBoLD.-That was a dastsrdly false
hood, started by come drunken Bohemian
lounging around the Metropolitan Hotel in
New York, that H. T. Hembold, the druggist
prince in New York and famous the world over
for HIS "Buchu," had gone crazy. h original
ed in political malice, because he hsd contri.
buted $4,000 to the election of Seymour and
Blair. The New York Sun, indignantly
contradicting the report, gives description
of the magnificent new drug store recently
erected by Mr.. H. 1t 1874 Broadway-the finest
and most attractive establishment of it's kind
in New York if not an the world.
The newspaper publishers Of this country
have no more extensive and liberal patron
than II. T. Helmbeld, and they should be
prompt to contradict this mean report, which,
uncsntradicted, is calculated so greatly to
injure his business.

Cattle Convention,

Avery interesting convention met at Spring
fld, in this State, to consider the question .of
Texas fever among cattle Commissioners to
the number OF 81 were present, from 10 diff
ferent States and Canada. The proceedings
OF the convention consisted mainly of the
statement Of facts by the different members in
reference to the disease, and the discussion of
different theories as to its cause, treatment.
and cure. From the discussion thus for, the
weight Of evidence" seemed to be in favor Of
what is called the "sporulc theory'-that is,
that the disease was caused by sporules in the
mucus and excrement Of the Texas cattle,
and was communicated by the native cattle
grazing over the ground and e,ting the spo-
rules thus dropped. The poison is completely
killed by the first frost; and there is no danger
from mixing native with Texas cattle during
the winter months The result Of the conven-
ton, As far as the proceedings have gone, is
one presentation of draft of law, which all
due States represented will he asked to ADOPT.
providing that commissioners shall he appoint
Cd to watch over the health of the cattle in
tue state; who shall have power to place dis
eased cattle in quarantine, or to cause them to
be killed; to inspect all cattle sought to be
brought into the State, and to prevent the en-
trance OF such as may be deemed capable Of
difusing dangerous diseases. Provisions are
made for the protection OF cattle in transit

l and November l, Is prohibited and law
is recommended making owners of diseased
cattle responsible for damages resulting there.
