| WHAT transpirea when Mr.. Fitch hrs1
took notice of the scandalous charges
made against him by a correspondent Of
the N. Y. Evening Post is thus reported
in the Washington Chronicle of June g.
Ma. FITcH, rising to question Of
privilege, sent to the Clerks desk and
had read an article from the Washington
| Star, summarizing n recent correspond
| ence in the New York Evening Post,
| duplicating bum in the matter OF profess
ed Enclosures AS to the correct use of
Cuban bonds, and stated tina, as far as
he was concerned it was an unmitigated
falsehood, and the author of it wicked
and cowardly liar. He called upon the
chairman of the subcommittee which
had been investigating the subject TO
state whether any evidence had been
presented tending to implicate him 10
any uiscreditable manner whatsoever.
Mr.. BUTLER. Of Massachusetts, chair
man of the Subcommittee, said there
was no evidence whatever 10 implicate
the gentleman from Nevada in any i'm
proper transaction in reference 10 Cuba
or anything else.
Mr. FIrcH added that he did not know
and never met the alleged agent in The
transaction. n. B. Taylor, and had never
met or conversed with anybody connect
ed with the Cuban Juota, or with the
movement for Cuban indepe drnce, uu-
Ill after be had made his speech in the
House in favor of the movement, after
which he had been called upon by few
gentlemen who thanked him for tle few
words he had said. No man who had
called upon him had ever Iusultei him
by intimating that in the event of the
success of that movement he should ex-
pect anything but their gratitude and
regard. The purpose of the lie was as
obvious as The lie itself was base. Ii q |
few days the House was TO act on the |
question whether or not Spain was 10 be
helped 10 crush Cuba, and it had, per |
haps, been conjectnred by members of
the Spanish Embassy that if such sland
ers could be circulated against mem bers
some gentlemen might be afraid TO ex-
press their actual sentiments on the
subject. and so they went TO the cost Of
a dinner; or of a SIS bill! to get somebody

that the whole pack would be
reiping in chorus next Monday. So far
as bis own action was concerned he
would deem himself recreant TO his du.
les and to his manhood if he allowed
be cry Of pack of hungry cayotes to
wer.e him at any time from speaking
What his tongue had to say in behalf OF
people struggling for liberty.

CHRISTOPHER PLAGUE. - The Auburn
(Cal.) Herald of Saturday last says: These
pests have made their appearance in western
Placer. They entered the county at John
O'Hara's ranch, on Pleasant Grove creek,
west O. the old Desert road. and have passed
north over Auburn and Markham ravines, a
a distance of five or six miles, and are still
going north and devastating strip of coun-
try several miles wide. No green thing es-
capes them, such as fruit or shade trees,
Graves ranch, on Markham ravine, they
come in such dense swarms that he had to
chink his house with rags and cloths to keep
them from taking possession even of his
dwelling. 1t is to be hoped that the grain is
mostly too ripe to be seriously affected by
them.

of the case will soon render it plain
whether these parents intrusted their
children to Mrs. Oliver in good faith
If they did, they, will, of course, come
forward to claim them now that their cruel
treatment is made known. II they remain
silent, il must be concluded that all they
desire was their children's disappearance
and that so long as this is secured they
are Indifferent whether their little ones
are found dead under railway arches, or
are handed over to the tender nursery of
a work.house. 1t must be said, in truth,
that the miserable creatures-still young
who are charged with this inhuman
trade are not the only persons who deserve
the reprobation it will evoke. 1t must
also be visited on the parents who to re.
lieve their own selfish instincts, deliber.
ately paid for the disappearance of their
infants, and, we must add, on those who,
by inserting such advertisements, abe
this traffic in infanticide. 1t should be
distinctly observed that no such traffic
could be Systematically conducted without
the aid furnished by the newspapers which
admit Objectionable advertisements into
their columns and if the honor Of pro.
prietors cannot be trusted to refuse aid to
notorious villainy it will become grave
question whether such offence against
society on the part of the Press cannot
be restrained by law.

Some time since the New York metro.
politan board of health directed its chem.
list, Prof. G. +. Chandler of Columbia
college, to examine scientifically and with
chemical tests the various hair tonics,
washes, cosmetics and other toilet prepar-
ations in general use, and to ascertain
whether their Ingredients are injurious or
dangerous to those who use them. The
report of these investigations, which the
New York papers for obvious reasons, to
be found in their advertising columns,
declined to print, has just been published
and contains much valuable information,
with sharp and pcremptory warning to

improve the work of their Maker, by the

Chandler collected his samples from the
drug and toilet stores, of the same stock
from which other customers are supplied,
and his investigations included some Of
the most tamiliarly known and generally
advertised specifics. OF sixteen different
preparations for restoring coloring and
increasing the hair, only one was found
which did not contain lead, generally in
the form of acetate or sugar of lead, and
most, both held it in solution and retain.

ion, Prof. Chandler examined six of the
commonest to be found in every drug store

Perry's lotion, however, makes up for the
others, as it contains mercury, corrosive

tested, all of which contain either carbon
ate of lime, oxide of zinc, or carbonate of
