To ship the diseased meat to this coast. How
ever true this version of the case may be we of
course cannot tell, but circumstances warrant
this conclusion. The effect of the disease is
invariably fatal. The length of illness is gener-
ally about a month, although in some aggravated
cases death has ensued in less time. The trichina

l-7S of an inch in length and 1-l30 of an inch in
breadth. Its reproductive powers are
1t being estimated that the number in a single
sufferer may amount to 10000, 900. The prin-
cipal symptoms of the presence of the parasite in
the human frame are loss of appetite, prostra-
ton, violent pains and contraction of the limbs,
and finally @denia accompanied by pneumonia.
1t will be gratifying 10 know that these horrible
worms cannot stand heat and that they are
efectually destroyed when the meat containing
them is well cooked. We think it probable that
our house-keepers will act on this hint without
any further instruction.. Harrison now has the

Trichina Spiralis in Ham-Important Dis
cOVeTV.

The San Jose Mercury of August 4th has this
important announcement, which concerns every
person on the Pacific coast:
Some days since, E. w. Harrison, n we'll known
citizen of San jose, residing on Fourteenth street,
purchased from Lendrum & Burns one of those
delicious Chicago hams which have been tickling
the palates of our epicures for some time past.
Nothing wrong was discovered with the meat I'M
til it had been about half consumed. But on Sat
urday as Mrs. Harrison was about to cut some
slices she thought it had n peculiar appearance,
and, not wishing TO take any chances on so deli
cate a matter, called her husband, who, upon in
speeding it with a magnifying glass, discovered to
his horror that it was full and running over with

To A FRIGHTFUL EXTENT.

However, it passed off like an epidemic, and did
not reappear until about two years ago. when it
again commenced it's Iavages on n large scale.
Many persons died, and it was found that a great
proportion of the smoked meat in the market
contained the parasites. This destroyed the pork
trade in Chicago, and, in fact, throughout Illinois.
Nobody wanted any hog meat in theirs. The
consequence was that a large quantity of hams.
bacon, shoulders, etc., were left on hand. Some
of it was inspected and destroyed, but the most
part was still held, and the increasing California
demand has induced some

TRICHINA ~SPIRALIS,

That horror of horrors to all lovers of pork. Hnr-
risOn's feelings upon making this discovery can
be better imagined than described. We suppose
it is hardly necessary to state that the remainder
of that ham has not yet been eaten. This dis
coyery of the parasites is, we think, the first that
has ever been made on this coast, and opens the
way for some very grave speculatiOns. The ex-
istence of the trichina spiralis became known a
number of years ago, but it did not make it's ap-
pearance to any considerable extent until about
five years ago, when the death of several of it's
victims in Illinois called for an inspection of the
pork, and it was found to exist

PLAIN TALK TO ISHAM G. HARRIS.
What Became of the School Fund.


Democratic politicians in Tennessee have
been engaged in circulating the blistering,
unmitigated falsehood that the Radicals"
stole the school fund in this State. "When
thieves and rogues fall out, honest men
get their dues" But for the Cheatham-
Johnson unpleasantness, no Democrat, per-
haps, would have ever been frank enough
to admit the truth. King Isham G. Harris
had discussion at Murfreesboro' the other
day and among other plain spoken words,
we find the following in the Banner, as
having been addressed by Col. Colyar to
Isham G. Harris charged that the levying
of tax on the people of Nashville during
the war without due process of law was a
great crime and fought to damn Mr.. John
son forever" Col. Colyar said:
Mr.. Johnson was Military Governor
not civil Governor under the oath of of
fice-that right, or wrong, such cOntribu-
ton had been collected among all people
in time of war, while the war was actually
going on, and all the books on war justified
it, that as war meant to conquer by eX-
haustion, it was worse than nonsense to
deny the right as war measure, but that
Governor Harris was the last man in the
world to make this question, and that he
proposed to take him as subject and illus
trate what he meant, though the points
were not at all parallel, that Governor
Harris himself in 1861, while Governor, ,un-
der an oath to support the Constitution,
and only in anticipation of war, caused
what was called Military Board to take,
and which was taken by his orders, with
out due process of law, in the month Of
May, 1861, while the State was still in the
Union, from the Bank of Tennessee and
out of the sacred school fund.- secured by
the Constitution to the children of the
State forever, 1882, ,913 that without due
process of law, he took in June of this fund
S767, IA that without process of law he
took in the month Of July, S1,639, ,213 ;
August, without due process of law, $685.
449 in September, without due process Of
law, 1884, ,641; in October, without due
process of law, he took from the school
fund S208, 143; in November he took with
out due process of law, S130,939; in De
cember, S113, ISL making in all of this fund
taken without due process of law, 81, ,550,
793.
Governor Harris, not only for war pur-
poses and without due process of law, took
this large sum from the children of the
State, but he went to the Planters Bank
and told the officers of that band that he
must have $500, 900, and that he was back
ed with the military and that they must
furnish the money A; and under a positive
threat of taking by force he got, without
due process ofIaw, from this bank $500, 900;
and then he went to the Union Bank, and
under positive threat to take by force, he
got S50O,OO0. Turning to the Governor,
Col Colyar said, Sir, if Johnson ought to
be damned forever for taking money with
out due, process of law, don't you think
you ought to go hell for at least a thousand
wears ?n

Old Methodist Hill.

We paid this delightful portion of Knoxville
a visit yesterday We say delightful, for the
ceuery from this point is truly grand You
have beautiful view up and down the Holston
river and of the fields and hills on the south
side, We found the spirit of improvement
alive there as well as in other portions of the
city. A street has been graded and curbed
from Main to Craig street, which runs up to the
summit of the Old Methodist Hill. Mr.. G. A
Merriman is getting lumber ready to build fine
two-story house on this hill, the cost of which
will amount to 81, 500, Mr., Hugh L. McClung
is about fiLishing'a beautiful brick residence on
the summit of this hill, which for beauty of locs
tion cannot be surpassed in the city Besides the
view of the Helston, nearly the whole city of
Knoxville is laid before the eye from this point.
From Craig street, another street is being
graded, just beyond Meetings. building,
which runs back into Main street When all
the streets commenced in that locality. are
completed it will be very desirable place for
suburban residences, and we doubt not but that
property holders will find a ready sale for their
building lots
