QUESTIONS OF sURVTVORsHIP.

An interesting case in regard to survivor
ship has recently arisen in Connecticut. A
man and his only daughter were drowned
at the same time at East Haven, and the
complex question has to be decided which Of
the two died first. If the man died first his
property would have passed to the daugh-
ter, and thence to her heir, who is her
mother, but who has been divorced from
the father. If the daughter died first, then
the property goes to a half-sister OF the IA
theT. Several other suits have arisen out
Of this accident, which was caused by the
breaking down Of public causeWay. A
similar question of suryivOrship was raised
many years ago in the case Of the drown
ing of man and his wife by the wreck Of
a steamer running to CharlestOEn. The
rule appears to be settled, that IN these dis
asters the presumption is that males sur
vive the hardships longer than females, and
adults than minors.

THE WHARTON TRIAL.
Doctors Differ.

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 13.-In the Wharton
case to-day a large number of witnesses
testified to the excellent reputation of the
prisoner. The counsel for the defence an
nounced that the evidence was closed.
DR.. Nathan r. Smith was called and
sworn for the State. Has resided in Balti-
more Is years and practiced medicine for
53. He was for two years professor in the
Pennsylvania University, Lexington, Ky.
Witness said he had read and heard read
the hypothetical cases, and according to his
Judgment the death of Ketchum ensued
from non natural cause. The death did
not result from ceribro spinal meningitis.
Witness was familiar with the disease.
In his crOSs-eXamiation DR.. Smith said he
had seen cases of meningitis in Baltimore.
During The past year they were not UnCOm-
mon. In reply to questions as to the pre-
scriptions OF aetseminUm and choral to
Gen. KetChum by DIR. Williams the day Of
his death, DR., Smith said that, from what
he heard OF the symptoms Of the case, he
regarded these remedies as depressing and
inappropriate, and not such as he would
have prescribed, but he thought the patient
in dying condition when the prescriptions
were taken.
DR.. George ". Lenson had heard of the
hypOtq5tiGaf case, and, III his judgment,
death resulted from a nOn-natural cause,
and not from cerebro spinal meningitis.
Court adjourned.

THE SMALLPOX.
CarbOIic Acid as a DIsInfeetant.


A correspondent writes to the Philadel-
phia Ledger that the use Of carbOlic acid as
a disinfectant and curative agent in small
pox and other contagious diseases should be
universally known. DR.. Burgess, Of San
Francisco, SAYS, in the Boston Journal Of
ChemistI7l, ain the late fearful epidemic Of
smallpox have tested the disinfectaut and
prophvlactic power of carbOlic acid in way
that leaves no doubt in my mind Of its su
periOr merit. Indeed, during the latter part
Of the course Of the epidemic, trusted 70
it exclusively. In thiTty-six instances Of its
exclusive use, the disease spread in but one,
and that was in a family OF very filthy hab-
its, where cleanliness and proper nursing
were Unattainable."
Carbolic acid in fluid form is q cheap
article. TO disinfect an apartment two or
three teaspoOnsful may be put in a small
bucket of water, and scattered about with
whisk broom. Or the same or even smaller
quantity may be placed in dish and mixed
with sand. The evaporation from this will
disinfect the air. If the air should become
too strongly charged, the evaporation may
be checked by covering the dish more or
less as required. This atmosphere, con-
tanning caTbOlic acid is healthy, and soon
becomes quite agreeable, especially when
associated with its power as destroyer Of
infection.
The bed clothes, blankets, etc, and clothes
worn by persons having the disease or COM
ing in contact with such, may be washed
with soap now manufactured containing
carbOlic acid. Or common soap may be
used, with two or three teaspOonfuls Of
carbOlic acid added TO the suds. Thus may
complete disinfectiOn be produced in bed
clothes or body clothes Of patients subject
ed to smallpox or any other infectious dis
case.

CUSTOMHOUSE CORRUPTION.
The Senatorial SmOthererS.
RadIeaI Ygnorance Or tI.e Law

New YORK, Jan. 13.-The Congressional
Committee this morning received note
from the editor of the Bulletin stating that
he would have to be excused from testifying,
as his information about the CustomhOuse
was received in professional confidence.
An anonymous communication was re-
Ceived setting forth that the writer had in
formation of kilograms Of ex-Collector
Murphy to Secretary Boutwell, and to Sec
retary Robson, which he said would injure
both these gentlemen, and asking for pay
therefor. The communication was thrown
away.
Deputy Collector Clark testified that in
some instances it was the custom to make
seizures without orders from the CustOm-
house by subordinate officials. In 1869 it
was arranged that no warrants should be
issued without orders from the Collector.
Subsequently this rule was violated, as in
the case of Naylor. The informer received
a quarter Of the proceeds resulting from the
prosecutions. The witness testified that the
books, etc, seized were usually taken to
Special HOWe's Office, and not to the Gus
tOmhouSe, as required
Deputy Collector J. Clarks continued-I
know of cases where a large sum was de-
manded as a compromise and afterward a
small sum accepted. Previous to GrinnelIs
administration, cases were compromised
without any legal affidavit, even where the
merchant was guilty. The records Of such
are nov in The Collectors Office.
Senator Bayard-I move that those re-
| cords be at once sent for.
Ssnator Howe.-There IS a statute pro-
hibiting the publication Of an informer's
name, therefore l object.

"A LEETLE HORSE

Miss Cary has let out to a friend that
Miss Nilsson has fearful temper, and rants
and raves and tears things generally behind
the scenes. Once or twice she has had a
tantrUm, and refused to sing altogether.
One night Miss Cary got little extra ap-
plause, and Nilsson was so jealous that she
scOlded and snubbed her poor colleague 50
outrageOusly that Miss Cary burst into
tears. Nilsson is engaged to a Frenchmn
with long mustaGhe, but she leads the
poor fellow 8 dreadful life. The French
man is naturally jealous, and, Of course,
jealOHs of CapOul. CapOuls lOye-making
begins to tell on Nilsson; who has lately
shown more fondness for the handsome
lOye-maker than for the old funCe. The
story goes that the diStiRDie Frenchmln
has been so fearfully jealous OF CaPoul, that
the other day he was deslrOus Of shoot
ing him-this because CapOul had
made such fearful stage love to Nilsson
that shs has really lost her heart and de-
Clares now that she loves him even better
than her old lover. CapOul is a dissipated,
jolly, devil-may-care fellow Off the stage,
and Nilsson is in a bad fin, for he is no
kind Of a match for her.

THE MORMON DIFFICULTY.

The Latter Day Saints are catching II
pretty severely on all sides. Even their
Governor are down on their patriarchal in
stitution, and joins with monoganist Gen
tiles in denouncing polygamy. In his mes
sage to the Legislature Of Utah, delivered
on the 9th inst, he took occasion to tell the
assembled aSaiuts" that the United States
guaranteed freedom Of conscience in reli-
gion so long as il was in harmony with the
Constitution, but to stretch liberation any
further would be national suicide. Hecon-
tinued:
"There is a law upon the statute book OF
the United States which makes plural mar
riage in the territories crime, and that law
is binding upon all citizens alike and should
be obeved byal. No private Interpretation
or religious conviction can shield any person
from its operation. Polygamy, or plura al
marriage, is now pTactised in Utah in VIOLA
ton of this act, but this ought not to be, for
If one class of persons can violate one law
with impunity, and shield themselves behind
the bulWarlls OF religious liberation, another
class can do the same with some other law,
and so on until religious dOgmas are made
TO take the place of the constitution and
laws, and anarchy would ensue. The advO-
cate of such a theory would invoke religious
liberation to devOur the very source from
which religious liberation emanates."
He urged upon the Legislature the advis-
ability of passing such law as would estab-
fish harmonious relations Between the
people of Utah and the General Government
on the subject of marriage. The good ad-
vice was lost on the Legislature and they
showed anything but grateful feeling to-
ward the Governor Tor his outspoken mes
sage. The probability is that nothing will
be done through local legislation to relieve
the Utah question of the difficulties which
surround it. The Saints are, naturally
enough, filled with resentment against the
Gentiles who seek to deprive them Of what
they regard az their rights. They look
upon the legal proceedings which have been
directed against their antiquated institution,
as unnecessary and malicious persecution,
and till the criminal trials are
terminated, and the law Of the
land triumphs over sectarian bigotry, little
San be expected from them in the way Of
reform in morals or material progress
The fight is bitter as it is unequal, and
being waged in the courts, it affords the
belligerent Saints no opportunity to vent
their hate en- the representatives of the
nation. It is doubtful if the Saints can
ever be rpconcilod to the limitation Of their
matrimonial felicity, and the only hope Of
Utah in the future must come from the
tide of emigration which has already poured
over the Western prairies, and even now
trickles into the valley of the Mormon
state. The resistless Gentle food will YET

NOT A HARD DRINIIER IN CON.
ERESS,

senator Wilson gave temperance lee
ture at Boston, the other day, which is
worthy of note. He, among other things,
said that during the last seventeen years he
had found that the members who used
alcohol wera invariably the first to be pros
tra.od by protracted work. '1In my expe-
rience," he said, "while chairman OF the
Committee on Military AGairs, always
found that the men to be relied on were the
men who d4ank not at all" Mr.. Wilson
thought that there were fewer drinking
men in Congress now than when he first
went to it, 'Formerly the night sessions
were dreaded on account of the debauchery
to which they gave rise. Now, about one
quarter Of the Senators are pledged temper
ance men, and there is not what may be
called "a hard drinker' in the Senate at al.
The facts are about the same in the House
of Representatives. Oneo the departments
were full Of drunken men; now, they are
the exceptions" Coming from a source to
be relied upon, these are interesting and
cheering facts.
