DESTRUCTION OF THE GERMS OF DISEASE
As the result of series Of exporimen

heat, DIR. Crac Calvert demonstrate
that the germs of disease will withstan7
a temperature of 800 degrees Fahrenheit
Exposure to such a heat as this iniurcs
the fbres Of all kinds of cloth SO seriously
that they are unfit for further USE Ii
is therefore evident that the mere agency
OF heat cannot be depended upon for the
destruction Of the germs or corpusclc
attached to the clothing of persons who
have suffered with any contagious diseas
The necessity for change in OPINION
regarding the power of chlorine gas to
accomplish this purpose is urged in a re-
cent report of the New York Board Of
Health on the disinfection Of clothing and
rooms that have been exposed to contain
nation by smallpox. In the report in
question carbolic acid is especially rec,
commended for the disinfection Of clothing
and bedding, and sulphurous acid cas-
prepared by burning sulphur for the dis
infection of rooms The latter substance
especially seems 70 have the power ,f
destroying utterly the germs Of the small
pox, while chlorine frequently fails alto

Iwould fain look once again,
On those old familiar places.

But full of children's voices SWEET

MEMORIES OF EDEN.

MtMUhIto Uf tUtN,
In my mind there is picture,
That has there become fixture
OF a little valley, hidden
Up among the hills of Eden.
All the farms are small and new,
And the meadows bright and few
In this picture of my heart
With which shall never part
But it gives me great delight
In my dreams fday and night
| sometimes sigh but often laugh
As its scenes before me pass.
see again the beechen bower,
Gaily decked with vine and flower,
Where once we had celebration
In respectful veneration
For the birthday of the nation.
The happy troop look solemn
There, forming into column,
And marching out to dine
Though all the maidens in the line
Wear rosebud wrcaths of partridge-yine
And hear the nation anthem ring,
For as they march they gladly sing,
While little Sol, and brother Ed,
The banner bearing at the head,
Walk with bold, heroic tread
How they crowd upon my mind!
The scenes that have Tined
So for, in dreary, by-gone years,
Full of struggles, hopes. and fears,
OF longings vain, and bitter tears.
Before my heart had come to rest
Mid the prairies of the West
Where one look at the dear old hills,
One drink at the cool spring rills,
Would cure, l felt, all earthly ills.
All the haunts knew and loved,
Messy banks by brooklets curved,
Where fairy-cups and May flowers grew
Squirrel s-corn and violets blue,
And finest moss of brightest hue.
Places where, with pleasant dread,
have sought for golden thread,
Through shady, dim, sweet forest glade.
Where fallen fir leaves, carpets made,
And feet of children seldom strayed.
Where meath the beech-tree bowers,
When brown nuts fell in showers,
On golden leaves and tangled hair,
OF eager children seeking there,
To the squirrels harvest share.
Where mid spruce young spruces
searched for sweet juices
OF their banks dried in the SUM-
Hunted for the fragrant spruce gum.
Where fear of bears spoilt half the fun.
The path where we used to bring
Water from the school-house SPRING
Was ever anything such run
For school-tired little one
As down that shady path torun.
IT'S only dream, know,
Now, dream Of long ago.
I'd be stranger in the land,
But yet know they still must stand,
Those green old hills and mountains CRANE
But cen the view from the hillside
Would not seem so bright and wide
As when looked on it last, fear,
Bathed in the glow of a sunset clear,
And holding all that held dear

OUR FLAG Is STILL THERE.

The Republican party of the Nation
through its delegates assembled in con
Vention last week at Philadelph ia
placed in nomination Ulysses S. Gran
and Henry Wilson as our standard
bearers in the coming presidential con,
test. For the nomination of President
there was no strife in the convention
General Grant receiving the votes Of
all the delegates on the first ballot
and thus with marked unanimity car
ried off the honors for the first position
in the gift of the people. Considerable
interest was manifested over the seIec-
ton of candidate for the Vice Presi-
dency. On the first ballot Senator
Henry Wilson, of Massach use.is, was
successful, receiving 3843 votes to
3213 for Schuyler Colfax.
The ticket nominated at Philadel-
phia is a sure guarantee Of victory in
November No Republican worthy Of
the name can hesitate or falter in his
course with such leaders to move on
with to the triumph of our cause.
Gen. Grant has received an indorse-
ment from his party as few other candi-
date ever did, there not being dissent
ing voice against his denomination,
and thus has the administration of the
affairs Of the nation at his hands met
the fullest and most significant approval
from the people The name of Henry
Wilson, our candidate for Vice Presi-
dent, has been long and favorably
known to the people of this country,
through his eminent services in the
cause of freedom and humanity. Sen
ator Wilson is about sixty years of age,
and a native of New Hampshire. He
is now serving Lis third term as United
States Senator from Massachusetts. As
chairman Of the committee on Military
Affairs during the war, Senator Will
son achieved marked distinction, and
proved himself not only the true friend
of the soldier, but of great value to the
union cause. Henry Wilson is emf
nently man of the people, and is, in
the true sense Of the word, a self-made
man. He is able and upright, and his
success in life can be definitely traced
to his own indomitable will and energy.
Such man is well worthy to be the
successor of Schuyler Colfax. With
the names, then, of Grant and Wilson
on our banners, and the noble platform
of principles adopted by the CONVEX
ton inscribed on its folds, Republicans
can assuredly enter the contest certain
of glorious triumph.

A MISTAKE SoMEWHERE.-It is
hard to believe that a public man Of
the standing of Senator Sumner would
deliberately make Misrepresentation
in the United States Senate relative to
the opinion Of General Grant entertain
ed by the late Edwin NJ. Stanton, but
the statement of Mr.. Sumner is In such
direct conflict with the well known
public views of Mr.. Stanton in regard
to President Grant that no other opin-
ion can be arrived at than that either
Senator Sumner hasluttered a willful
falsehood or Stanton's public and pri-
7ate estimations of Grant did not cor
respond. For instance, Philadelphia
paper quotes this passage from a speech
of Mr.. Stanton's delivered before the
Union League Of that city just prior
to General Grants election "Gen.
Grant never looked upon an army of
the enemy Of his country but to con-
quer it. He never sat down before a
rebel stronghold to besiege it but it
fell before him. The same arm that
supported him at the head Of his army,
and the gallant troops that followed
him, will continue to uphold and sup
port him, because he represents the
great American heart, and the tri-
umphs that have been won by the
physical armies will be more than re-
paid, thrice repaid, by the glorious
victory of next Tuesday"
