Fifty Thousand Parasites fra a
Cubic Inch Of Human Flesh.

a few days ago the Tribune published
an account Of the death from trachina of
a lady in Champaign. DR.. Blaney had
found the parasites 10 the ham eaten
without cooking by three or four ladies',
all of whom were sick, and one Of whom
died. Drs. II. NJ Lyman and l. y. DAN
forth, of the Rush Medical College, have
made examination of piece Of muscle
from the woman who died, and have
found it a "rich" specimen. In a small
speck they found three parasites, and
their estimate is that there are 10000 in
a cubic inch Of the flesh.
In the small piece of the ham sent
them they did not find any Of the erea-
the ham and that part a of tic end Of tie he
muscle in which the animals are most
likely to gather. So it seems that one
part of the same ham may have 10 and
another may not have it. DR.. II. 0.
Howard, at Champaign, upon diagnosis,
before the microscopic discovery, pro-
nounced it a case Of trichanosis, for
which he deserves credit, inasmuch as
the symptoms are so nearly like those OF
typhoid fever. DIR. Howard holds that
much of the so called hog cholera Is this
same disease in the swine. The symp-
toms are the same with those of the
trichamous sickBess. As DIR. Lyman is
principled against eating pork, holding
that it was prohibited to the Jews upon
grounds, we can imagine
his views confirmed by these discoveries.

Returning from visit to a sick friend
Saturday night, l encountered band of
about thirty masked men, each with
large star upon his left breast, whom l
supposed to be Ku Klux, but on inquiry
learned that they were members of the
Red Star organization, engaged in dis
tributing charities to poor and INDECENT
families in an about the city, and from
the quantity of meal, -four, sugar, coffee,
bacon. tea, and other family necessities,
infer that the hearts Of many poor suf-
ferers will be made glad by the timely ad-
ministrations of those good Samaritans
who are engaged in this noble work.
Would it not be we'll for some of our
border neighbors to emulate the virtues
of this noble order, who are engaged IN
the holy mission Of alleviating the wants
of poor suffering humanity, that so
largely abounds in our cities during the
irving winter that is upon us? As
citizen of this community, who rejolces
in the good work of this charitable order,
bid them God speed in their noble work.
If the grateful emotions that flow from
the hearts of the needy to whose wants
they have administered be any recon-
pense to them. they will certainly have
their irreward. May the Red Stars that
now shed so glorious a luster over our
little city continue to exercise their be-
nign influence.

The National Labor Reformers met in
National Conventions, at Columbus,

nomination of candidates for President
and Vice President On the third bal
lot Judge David Davis, of Illinois, was
nominated for the first and Gov. Joel
Parker, of New jersey, for the second.
The Convention appears to have been

DEMOCRATIC STATE CON
MENTIONS.
The passive Policy Adopted


The three great States of Ohio, In
diana and Illinois, have through their
State organizations adopted, or rather are
practising, the passive Policy" The
action of these three States settles the
policy of the National party. The
Democracy of these States say, in effect,
to the Liberal Republicans, "put for
ward good ticket in your May conven~
ton, and in June we will ratify':
COLUMBUS, o., Feb. 22.-The Demo
cratic State Central Committee met to day
and adjourned until June 18th, without
fixing any day for the State Convention.
INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. 22.-The Demo-
cratic State Central Committee met this
afternoon to determine upon a day for
holding the Democratic State ConVeD>
ton. After considerable discussion, it
was decided to hold it on Wednesday.
June 18th, the basis of repre5ention to
be one delegate for every hundred votes
cast for Secretary Of State at the election
of 1870.
CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-The Democratic
State Central Committee held a caucus
here this afternoon to discuss the politi-
cal situation and decide on calling State
Convention. Prominent among the gen
tlemen present were VI. W. Fuller, Mr.
Goudy, of this city E. L. Merritt, Of
Springfield, and A. A. Glenn, of Brown
county. The caucus was a secret one,
but it is known that proposition to call
a State Convention was voted down, and
the committee adjourned to meet again
8th of May. This is regarded by the
liberal Democrats as triumph for the
passive party.

Grant and fne Fresidency.

President Grants nomination by She
Philadelphia convention may be regard
ed almost as a certain thing. He is un-
doubtedly anxious for reelection to an
Office for which he is so wholly without
qualification, and upon which he has
brought so much discredit; and he is
possessed of the power of becoming the
arbiter of his own destinies, so far as nom-
ination for it by the Republican conven-
ton is concerned. The immense patron
age commanded by him, and which be
ing employed in his behalf, must and
will prove irresistible. The extortions
of more than fifty thousand Government
office holders, every one of whom is con
scious that his tenure of Office is depen-
dent on his zeal, can not fail to turn the
scale at the convention.

H. Wilkes ROOth.

This morning a middle aged man
whom we had no hesitancy in reeogni-
zing as J. Wilkes Booth, as we had seen
him on and off the stage in New York,
Philadelphia, ETC., ten or twelve years
ago. called at our Office. There could be
no mistakipg the man. He was the same
though more melancholy, with lines OF
care on his fine features aud threads OF
silver through his ine dark hair, but 1t
was the same face, the same expressive
eyes, the same quiver on his lip.
He assured us he was travelling lncog (;
and toward the Pacific coast for the good
of his health, which had been rather
puny for several years and for which the
doctors recommend travelling in the
North West.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The Labor Reform Candidate.

We don't know how Judge Davis
views accord with those of the party that
seeks to make him its standard bearer,
but a better selection could hardly have
been made. Mr. Davis is at present oe-
cupying a seat on the Supreme Bench of
the United States, uuder appointment of
Mr.. Lincoln. He is man well advanc-
ed in life, though we'll preserved. He
has extensive means, and, if he were so
disposed, could impart vast amount of
magnetism to a Presidential campaign.
He is an able jurist, and staunch friend
of the Constitution of the United States.
1t was Judge Davis who loosened the
satrap Burnside's grip on the Chicago
Tribune in 1868.
The labor movement is beginning, at
last, to assume definite shape. 1t may
not accomplish much in the present cam
paign, but it possesses formidable
strength, and cannot be ignored by eth
er political party.
