PERSONNEL OF THE SOCIAL SCIENCE
ASSOCL4T TON.

The member who from his position attracts
the most attention is Prof. Joseph Lowering
Of Cambridge, tall, spare man, with full
dark beard, and dome-like head, who has the
manner of head master in some unruly school,
and the habit of peering at you over his spec
tacles in way that makes you feel uncom-
Portable. A man of wide attainments and
culture, and unquestioned ability, student
of unfagging industry, he commands respect
by the weight Of his personal character as
well as scientific a,tainments. For many
years he was secretary of the association, and
by hard labor fairly won the honorable posi-
ton he now holds. Prof Lowering is the man
so noted in Harvard tradition and song, to
whom the unfeeling waiter of the Boston
oean-shop metrically remarked, ''we don't
give bread with one fish ball."
Dr. Leconte of Philadelphia the chairman
OF Section Is, lie a short, stout man OF most
aggressive aspect, an aspect caused by his
heavy overhanging moustache, his full cheeks
pulled like trumpeser's, and his habi, OF

immediate execution, and was busily engaged
in picking out the dozen. He is man of
sound scientific attainments, and admirably
qualified for the position Of presiding officer
Prof. Theodore Gill is a man who can tell
you more about fishes in half an hour than
can all the men who ever dropped a net into
the waters of the sea; and his knowledge OF
modern technology is only equalled by his
learning in regard to the grotesque marine
monsters of the antediluvian ages. We have
no doubt that he could accurately describe
Jonah's whale, though we strongly suspect he
holds that wide throated mammal to be apoc-
ryphal; for the Professor is commonly classed
among those progressive scientists who say
hat "Faith is bankrupt, and her accounts
are under strict examination, to determine
What assets remain to be distributed among
The impoverished souls that are her creditors"
Mr.. Gin is youneish looking man, of me-
iium height. with dark hair, light eyes, and
quick, alert look, and wears his beard in the
fashion of France.
Burt G. Wilder, who was admitted to the
Association at the present session, is an ac-
QUESTION indeed. A man of prodgious indus
try, of indetatigable research, of sound ac-
quirements, he will prove one of the most use

his fall share of responsibility for the hang

denial that he withheld from Mr.. Johnton

RESPONSIBILITY FOR TIRE SALARY
LAW

In order that orr readers may know Just
where the responsibility for the Salary
Law, back-pay and ALL belongs, we pre-
sent them the following table, which tells
the story. When they hear democrat
donouncing the republican party for the
grab they can show him by this that
the democrats are considerably deeper in
the mire than the republicans. While
majority Of republicans voted against the
bill, SO against to rs for, a majority of the
democrats supported it. by a vote of 63 in
favor to only 80 against it. Mr.. Titcombs
party undertakes to apologize for the DEM
ocratic grabbers by saying they were Sc
duced by the republicans' The apology is
more infamous than the grab. Here is
the record:
In the Senate it was as follows:
SENATE.
Republican Senators for the bill 80

The Washington Chronicle has seen fit
TO join in the clamor about the nomination
of Grant for third term. 1t says that if
he desires the presidency for third term
he can have it, for the people have learned
to trust the hand that has guided the ship
of state safely through so many perils, and
they will keep him at the helm as
long as the exigencies of the State may
need him and his willingness to serve the
country may make him available. There
are too many ifs in the Chronicles article
to entitle 1t to serious consideration.

Henry Ward Beecher's paper conora,.

New York upon the decision of the coun.
sci Of the Corporation, that the Board of

To the Editor of the Dallas Herald:
| have been sojourper for a few
days in your pleasant and rapidly im-
proving city. L confess to some sur
prise at the rapidity of your progress.
10 what mainly do you owe this? Is
it not mainly due to the concentration
at this point of goodly number of
business men, possessing an extraor-
binary degree ofenterprise, energy, fore
sight and tact? True, the two railroads
atsyour place, have done much to aid
in making Dallas what she is. Your
three newspapers have constituted i'm
portant auXillaries; your excellent
schools have done much, and your
churches of all denominations now aid
in the general improvement of the
place; but are not your railroads, af-
ter all, among the chief causes of your
eminent prosperity? Arc they not
worth to your town and county all they
have cost, in the way of subsidies and
donations.
Allow me to suggest that you need,
in order to perpetuate and increase
your property, that large amount Of
capital be invested in manufactures Of
various kinds; you ought to have one
of the most superior and extensive
Touring mills in the State. a cottoA
seed oil factory would pay well. Vari-
Gus other species ofmanufactures could
doubtless be made to succeed. Would
not cotton compress be OF great utili-
ty?

DALLAS AND THE eUAnANTINE.

Since the alarming spread of yellow
fever in Shreveport, the subject OF
quarantine has been much talked %
and discussed, especially in its relation
to our city. Some have been inclined
to look upon it us an unnecessary pre-
caution, while Others took just the OPP
posite view of it, and counselcd our
city authorities to keep it up with the
utmost rigor. We arc not much in IA
vor of guarantees, as we do not see
that they, in any way, tend to check
the-spread of contagious and infectious
diseases, and never has case been re-
corded where any community has been
saved from disease by the SYSTEM
still our people wanted it, and had Il
right to have their wish granted. The
city was, and is unusually healthy and
they were anxious to keep it so, and
use every precaution against yellow fe-
Yer. Our people have been accused of
outrageous and dis, equitable conduct in
. u
They were said to have threatened to
kill those running the trains, and to
have endeavored to tear down bridges
and throw the trains off the track.
Such has not been the ease; they have
always shown readiness and willing
ness to respect the railway authorities,
and have boon guilty OF no secret 'e-
ton. Our city need have no fear OF
yellow fever, as the season il too far
advanced for it to assume any mhllg-
nant form, and should any case be
brought mt this time of the year, II
could easily be got u der control. AS
an epidemic, it cannot now come. ~
surd and untruthful reports have been
circulated through the country ast othc
existence of yellow fever in Dallas. IN
regard to them, we must say, they arc
MS unworthy ofnotice rs they are re-
diculOus.

The Peril of "a Smoker.

On Saturday evening, says the Sac
ramento Union, n gentleman in the
employ of the Central Pacific Railroad
Company, drove out TO a place about
fifteen miles from this city, where his
family are stopping, and soon after
wards started on his return to town
Before starting, he lighted his nicer
schaum, and INDUCED in a long and
pleasant smoke as he drove along.
This over, he placed the pipe in the
outer breastpocket of his coat, and paid
no further attention to it. By-and-hy,
a peculiar smell greeted his ollac-
tories-a smell of burning wooden
cloth-and, as it increased, he began to
look about to see if his garments were
on fire, and at the first movement he
found that the whole pocket had burned
out of his coat, and the fire was spread
ing rapidly. He grabbed ut the burn
ing material hastily, but was so ncr-
vous about it, that he frightened the
horse, and the animal ran. To make
matters worse, the lines were not
buckled together, and one slipped out
of his grasp while he was endeavoring
to smother the fire with his other

rapidly making the cuticle of his leg
rival the hue of his red flannel under
clothing! At last, by dint of dextcrous
clawing, he managed to smother the
fire, then stepped out on the shaft and
recovered the line, and in course OF
time subdued the horse. Exceedingly
thankful TO get out of his trouble with
out broken bones, he rode on to the
city in subdued frame of mind, and
never thought of being profane until,
just us he was quietly slipping into Il
clothing store with the buffalo robe

iiccncy of his wardrobe, he met full in

Independents, composed of Democrats
