A New THING In FEysiolcSy--White
Nam Turning Black.

The San Francisco Ernminer
says that gentleman Of that city,
about twenty-five years of age, rud
dy complexion and curly red hair,
who had an in,ractable ulcer on the
left arm, resisting all previous
modes of treatment, Welded to the
request Of trying The effect of trans
planting piece of skin to the ulcer
from another person. The ulcer
was prepared in the usual manner
by his physician, and bit Of skin
about An inch square was taken
from the arm of fine healthy negro
man and Immediately spread over
the ugly nicer, and then carefully
dressed and handaoed. The skin
transportation had the desired et-
feet. Healthy granulatIon sprnn.
up. and the unsightlv ulcer soon
healed. A few months aftcrward
he went to his physician and told
him that ever since the sore healed
the black skin commenced to spread,
and it was increasing. About one
third Of his arm was completely ne
groed. The doctor himself is
alarmed. The high probability is
that the whole skin Of this white
man will become negro. This is
new thing under the sun. 1t would
be rather difficult to explain the
physiological process which takes
place to bring about such skin
change as this. The problem is,
how can the coloring matter OF the
skin be SO radically changed? Ii
is certain that the law Of capillary
attraction plays no insignificant
part in the spreading process

A recent issue of the Dubuque
Times contains timely article up
on the needed changes Of the road
law of tl,is State. There is certain
fly nothing from which less satisfac-
tory results are obtained according
to the means furnished than the
making and nending Of our high
ways. In majority, if Eot all of
the counties Of the State, the condi-
ton OF the roads at certain seasons
intelposes an almost complete en-
barge upon travel; not because
money aud labor have not been ex-
pended upon them, but because the
work has not been faithfully or
skilfullv done. The law requires
every able-bodied man, within GER
tain specified ages,to work two days
in each year upon the highway, or
in lieu thereof, to pay $3.50 in mo-
new into the road fund. In addition
to this, the trustees Of each town
ship are authorized to levy a tax up
on the property Of the township of
not TO exceed FIVE mills, for road
purposes. Taking three mills as a
fair average rate of the tax imposed
for road purposes, there are raised
in this county nearly $4,000 annu-
ally, which, with the value Of the
two days labor required Of each
able bodied resident, amounts to
over &2l 900, available for making
and keeping our roads in repair.
1t is not unreasonable to expect that
the expenditure Of so considerable
sum as this from year to year
should manifest itself in valuable
and permanent Improvement Of the
roads, but such is not the case as \
rule. With all the money and time
spent upon them the roads are bare
ly passable, and not that at all times
Of the year. Why this is SO the
Tines tersely tells in the following
paragraph:
SO long rs every road supervisor
in every little road district is per-
nitted 70 collect the taxes in money
aud labor and apply both in scratch
ing over little piece Of road here,
and small spot there, with no
care to do more than to relieve HIM
self and neishbors in the easiest
way possible of his and their pro-
portion OF tax, and with no more
knowledge Of road building than he
has of the science of navigation, SO
long must We continue to suffer this
great waste OF means, and continue
to bear the burden and incon
venience Of impossible highways.
The remedy suggested by the
Times is to collect the road taxes
in money exclusively, and hire men
to work the roads, practical road
builders who will do days work
and do it inteligently and skilliil-
ly; the outlay f r such purposes to
he directed by one competent, prac-
teal head, and the test Of compe-
tentcy to be AS exacting in the ease
Of road supervisors AS in the teach
ers in the public schools. The sub
iect is one which should engage the
attention of the people, and through
them the Legislature, to the end
that this needed reform may be &C

1864, and for which deed was
given to the purchaser. In 1867
the land was again sold for taxes
to James Callanan, Jr. In 1870 the
plaintiff went to the County Audi
tors office and offered TO redeem
the lands from the last sale, but the
Auditor refused to accept the
money, on the grounds that he WAS
n" longer the owner of the land,
and the only person who could re-
deem was the holder of the tax
deed under the former sale. The
suit was brought to redeem the
land, and to enioin the Treasurer
from making deed under the last
sale.
The court held that the plaintiff
hal the right to redeem; that the
Auditor had no right to refuse to
issue the redemption certificate;
and that he should have received
the money rendered by the owner
of the patent title. The fact that
an outstanding deed existed could
not bar the owner from protecting
his interest from the inception Of a
new estate under the late sale.
