Then and New.

Last September, barely eight months
ago, Greeley sent his delegates TO the
State Convention with the draft of a
platform said to have come from his
own pen. on which, he said in the
Tribune, they wanted to make the
fight" Here is an extract from it:
II. In this alarming crisis in city
and State affairs, the Republican party
refers all good citizens to its record, as
their warrant for giving their fullest
confidence and support in the cam
paign, now formally opening, of the
honest men against the thieves.
1t abolished slavery.
1t ledin the suppression of the re-
bellion.
It preserved and enlarged the Union
1t promptly reduced the enormous
force thus required to a poace footing.
1t has reduced the debt over two
hundred and fifty millions of dollars in
the last three years.
1t has simultaneously reduced pub
lie taxation over two hundred and fifty
millions Of dollars per annum.
1t has preserved peace on the border.
1t has won friendly adjustment OF
the threating troubles with Great Brit
ain.
III. For its conspicuous share an
this 6e1dfcent record e0e 5ndorse the
National RepaSbHc01e Administration.
We reatfirm the platform of principles
laid down by the last National Repub-
hcan Convention:
And on these principles and on this

- The Nation" PrOnouncps for Grant
as Against Greeley,

Among the ablest public journals
which supported the Cincinnati move
ment up to the hour of it's collapst in
the nomination of Greeley, was the
nation. How it stands now we will let
it tell for itself:
"He Greeley is neither revenue re.
former, civil service reformer, nor any
other kind of reformer that people now
care about; and, asto uncertainty. the
very wind has, since the Establishment
OF the weather bureau, become more
reliable than he. The result is, and
history of the last month shows 1T, he
has not only not drawn to himself anv
of the reputable discomfort of the Re-
publican party, but he has driven it
back into the ranks repentant and hu-
inflated. He stands surrounded, as far
as the republican north is concerned,
IN the main by 'soreheads and blath
erskltes. His great, and, indeed, only,
reliance is the Democrats of the north
and south, but especially of the south,
and he therefore presents himself to
the republican party as simply the Wis
1ble sign of renewed attempt on the
part of the old coperheads and
rebels to get possession CT the
government. * What
are honest men to do now? Well, if
there is nothing else offered, if the
Democratic convention commits the
absurdity of raising the old white hat
as It's standard at Baltimore, the only
thing for Republicans, of our way of
thinking, to do is to choose the less of
two evils, and vote for General Grant.
We expect no improvement in the ad-
ministration from him; we do not look
at his hands for the removal of any of
the existing abuses; we know of no an
swer to any of the wei8hty and reason
able objections made to his admins
tration; but we do know, as near as
may be what he will do; we know at
least the worst he will do. The pro-
liabilities are that, the temptations
connected with re nomination over, he
will on many points change for the
better. Moreover, this is the
most important of alI,-if he is re-
elected there will be no general re-dis-
tribution Of offices and no financial dis
turbance. What Greeley will do, and
what the motley crew whom he would
lead to Washington would do, nobody
knows"

The Coral Trade.

We find the following interesting
facts concerning the traffic in coral in
the Pail Mali Gazette.
"Coral is found in more or less
abundance along the coast of Regency
OF Tun1s, Algeria and the Mediterra
mean shores of Morocco, as we'll as in
the neighborhood Ct Sardinia, Naples,
Leghorn and Geneva, and the coasts OF
Catalonia and Provence Between
Bona and Biserta there are certain
banks rich in the product, which are
regularly f1equented by the coral boats.
There are also many other banks well
known to tie fsherermen at from fifteen
to twenty miles from mainland, but
those furnishing the best quality of
coral are off the Island of Galita. Tt
grows on rocks embedded in the mud.
and never on those lying on sandy and
clear bottoms. The coral found on the
Barbary coast is principally red, but
black and white, as well as the much
prlzed pink, also exist The latter
kind is more frequently obtained on
the Galita aud Fratelli rock banks. The
price of coral varies from las. e1 lis.
the pound: but the light pink or rose
colored coral, being extremely scarce
and IN demand, is often sold for fifty
times It's weight in gold. Coral is chiefly
worked INTO articles of jewelry and
beads at Terre del Greco, Leghorn and
Genoa. Formerly MarseilIes was a CEN
ter for It's manufacture, but now not
more than three hundred or four hun
dred Workmen are employed on it at
that port. Europe takes comparatively
a small share of the usual supply of
coral, the South American States, the
interior of Africa, the East Indies,
China and Japan being the best markets
for it. The dredge of which coral is
collected is formed of two pieces of
olive wood, each about six and one half
feet long, firmly nailed and lashed to.
gether, crosswise, a weight, generally
stone of fifteen or twenty pounds, be-
ing attached to The point of juncture
The crosswoods are suspended with
kind Of net made of hempen ropes, APP
parently unraveled, and forming
bunches resem bling ship swabs. From
sixteen to twenty Of these nets hang
round the woodwork, four or five others
being attached to long rope trailing
from the center weight, while third
rope with nets is fixed to one of the ex.
tremities Of the cross. The tow-line is
tied to the center of the dredge, which
IS dragged along the bottom of The sea,
the boat being under oars or sail. When
the dredge is felt to have become fixed
to rock the boat is brought imme-
dlately over the spot, and the dredge is
hauled up to a certain height, by hand
IN the small and by capstan on the large
craft, and then allowed to fall again on
the rock, and so until it is perceived
that the nets and cordage have lost
their hold, when the whole apparatus
is drawn on board and cleared of what
everpleces of coral may have broken off
the rock and became entangled in it..

A Singular Marriage.

A curious marriage has just taken
place in one OF the Partisan churches.
The bridegroom, while marrying his
bride, was utterly unable to give her
his hand. The reason was that he had
no hand left (nor right either) to ex-
tend to her. 1t was fortunate that it
was not the bride who was in this con-
dition, as the service would have had
to be dispensed with on account of the
ring formality.
The fact of the case was that the
brave General Sumpt, the bridegroom,
had lost both his hands at the battle of
Froeschwiller He had been ordered to
carry a message Of the greatest imme-
diate Importance to another part of the
battle field, and just as he gathered up
the reins of his horse in both hands a
shell burst and deprived him of both
OF them at the same instant Since
then he has been made General and
Commander of the Hotel des InvaIides,
although this place had been formerly
abolished. 1t is said, however, that
some genius has made him q couple of
iron hands, which serve so well me-
chanically that he can write his name
with one OF them. 1t doesn't make
much difference what member of the
body is lost nowadays-science can
supply it.

The "WOrId - ON the Situation.

The New York World says: "We
are reluctantly constrained to believe
that the endorsement of Greeley at
Baltimore is one of the absurd posi-
b1ilties of American politics. Every
body knows that political conventions
are egregious shams. They are engin-
eered and controlled by trading poll
tlclans. If Mr.. Greeley should be en-
dorsed at Baltimore, the endorsement
would not represent the Democratic
party, but only its trading politicians.
But the success of the Greeley move
ment depends on the choice of its in
dorsement by the Democratic masses
The great mistake of the Greeley Dem
ocrats consists in their confidence in
party machinery. They absurdly think
that every thing is accomplished if they
can get Greeley nominated, at Balti-
more. They will find that this is
mistaken calculation. There are hun
dreds Of thousands of Democrats who
would Loyalty vote for any Democratic
nominee in Difference to the National
Convention, who cannot be brought to
vote, under any circumstances, for the
lifelong asailant and defamer of the
Democratic party We do not believe
there will be a bolt; at any rate, we
shall not support bolt, if Mr. Greeley
should be nominated at Baltimore,
though we freely say that if there arise
chance for successful bolt it can
count on our jealous cooperation; but
we shall decline to go into any move
ment inspired by conflicting passion
with regard to political possibilities.
The danger is not from bolt, for we
do not believe there will be a bolt even
IT Greeley l. nominated at Baltimore,
but from the disgust and apathy of the
multitude of Democrats who will sui
lenly stay away from the polls when
they were asked to vote for the chief
llbeler of their party. There are hum
dreds of thousands of Democrats who
cannot be induced to vote for Greeley,
and his nomination at Baltimore will
be an act of supreme folly, unless he
can bring over to our party strong Re
publican reinforcements; and there is
as yet no evidence that he can bring
one Republican voter for every ten
Democrats that so utterly absurd
nomination will disgust and drive
away"

Germany and the JeSuIts,

The very decisive vote in the German
Parliament (Reichstag) In favor of the
expulsion of the Jesuits from the En-
pire, is most significant event in the
history of modern Europe The bill
on which the vote was taken was sub
mitted in the Federal Council, it is as.
serted, by Bismarck If so it is the
elimination of his battle with the ul-
Church in Germany. It recalls the
many acts of expulsion to which the
Jesuits have been exposed in the va
rous European states. indeed, the
order founded by Loyola is accustomed
to explosions. Half century after the
foundation of the society, viz: in 1894,
they were banished from France, They
were recalled to that country in 1903.
They were expelled from Venice in 1904;
from Portugal and colonies in 1859; from
France, q second time, in 1764; from
Spain in 1867. The dark day for this
order was, however, VIXEN, in 1878,
Pope Clement the Fourteenth issued
his famous bull, which decreed the
repression of the order in the various
states of Christendom. Pope Plus the
Seventh rescinded this decree in 1914,
after the triumph of the allied powers
over Napoleon. The society was ban
ished from Portugal for the second
time in 1884. Spain, which had recall
ed them in 1915, upon the advent of
the BorubOne IN that country, expelled
them in 1920, recalled them again in
1923, banished them the second time in
1885, but again restored them in 1914.
The society was suppressed in Russia
principally on account of it's machi-
nations in Poland-in 1920. France
banished them once more during
the revolution that gave the throre
to Louis Philippe in 1880. Italy
swept them completely out of the pen
insula during the revolutions of 1913
and 1859; but they got back to the
Romish states with the French troops
of occupation, and remained until the
annexation of the Pontifcal territory
during the late FrencO-Prussian war.
A few of them, no doubt, still repose III
the Eternal City, under the shadow of
the POpe's personal protection. The
question now is whether the indOmlt-
able energy of the Society of Jesus viii
lead them back to again fight the battle
for ROmlSb supremacy on the fields OF
Germany, in the same manner thatthey
have gone back and fought it in the IN
stance of every other European state,
or will Germany prove an exception to
the rule.

Intermittent Fever.

Without knowing the cause of its
development, 1t has always been charged
to what is called malaria-aud curious
as it may appear, we don't know what
that is. In popular opinion there are
banetul emanations from the ground
In certain localities, which inhaled, pro
duce vital disturbance which only one
medicine controls or subdues That is
quinine. Happily, as the tree from
whose bark that medicine is extracted
becomes scarcer and therefore more
costly, chemists are encouraged with a
belief they shall finally discover how to
make it. 1t will be another great
triumph of inductive science when that
deslderatum is accomplished.
Fever and ague, the old expressive
name for intermittent fever, because
the sufferer is Intensely hot and in
tensely cold-shiyering-is a scourge
that battles physicians. It is regulated
by laws-laws of periodicity as positive
and uniform in the alterations of heat
and chill as the phases of the moon or
the satellites Of Jupiter.
Certainly here is an inviting field for
d1scovery-the cause of intermittent
fever and its destruction. Emanations
from the ground, mixed with atmo-
sphere air, theoretically are carried
directly into the circulation through
the medium of the lungs Why do
not domestic animals have the disease
they breathe the same air? There

ceptible to the action Of that invisible

A Kentucky Physician Frightened from
His Profession.
From the Frankfort (Ky.) Yeoma

From the Frankfort (Ky0 Yeoman.
A young Kentucky physician VINO
had been regularly educated Tor MS
profession, was called to the bedside OF
a patient that he had been attending
with his best care for some time, but
who obstinately grew worse and worse,
until now his end seemed very near.
{" Doctor" said the sick man, " L am
dying-I am certain l am dying, ard L
believe Won have killed me-" The doc
tor seemed to think very earnestly for
a moment OF two, and then quite
@rayely and seriously replied:
:: Yes. [ see that you are dying;
and, on reflection, [ believe that you
are right believe that have killed
you; but, have taken my oath that,
if God will forgive me for having I'M
intentionally murdered you, will new
er murder another-I will never give
another dose of physic professionally
as long as I live" And he kept his
oath; he at once quit medicine entire
Iy; turned his attention to the study of
law obtained license in due course,
and, after few years successful prac-
tice, became one of the most eminent
Circuit Judges of that day in Kentucky
how nearly forty years ago.
