FRAUDS IN PRUSSIA.

If there is any truth in the old and Oft
repeated adage . Misery loves company
then the United States ought not to feel
wholly and utterly forlorn. Immaculate
Prussia, whose government was supposed
by the remainder of the world to be as
severely virtuous as her soldiers were
brave, has turned out to be no better
than the rest of us and is now in the
same stage of accusations, explanations
and investigating committees that kept
the United States so busy and SO asham-
ed a brief week ago. The cases in the
two countries are almost parallel. With
us it was the Pacific railway aud its out
growth, the Credit Mobilier; with Prus-
STA it is the German railway. The
charges i'll both instances are bribery and
fraud. On this side the water the &C
cusations we're pretty firmly established
on the other side they bid fair to be.
1t seems that while affairs were, to all
appearances, proceeding happily and
smoothly, the country was all at once
thrown into violent agitation by the
speech of prominent member of the
Lower House at Berlin, who he in his
place charged that enormous frauds had
been and were still being carried on in the
German State railway contracts. This
was denied by the parties best qualified
to know through the government press
but the member, who has forfeited him.
self with proofs, reiterted his charges
and insisted upon an investigation, which
after some delay, was orderd, What
renders the matter of peculiar interest
is the fact that Privy Counsellor Wagner,
the intimate associate and friend of Bis
marck, and Gen. Won Room are among
the parties implicated. The Berlin press
have taken up the matter. and demands
that not only that particular depart
ment, under which the contracts were
completed, shall be made the subject Of
investigation, but that every department
of the government shall be probed and
their affairs, if frauds are discovered,
made public.
There is an earnestness displayed
which warrants strict carrying out Of
the suggestion We may be morally
certain of one thing: if the charges are
fully proved, there will be no dilly-dal
lying as to the punishment, as has beer
the case with us. For the next month
we may look for unusually interesting
news from Berlin. 1t is useless to spec
: ulate upon the causes which lead to sucl
oorruption-we know how it has beer
with ourselves. Human nature in Ger
many is very much the same as human
nature In the United States. There i
no patent for honesty in existence, ant
though we may wonder that Statesman
or that distinguished general SHOULD
give way to temptation in this particula
line, it is we'll to remember that it i
not impossible for large brains and elo
quent tongues to be sometimes accom-
panied by light fingers. We trust, how
ever, that affairs with our ncighbor ma.

HORRIBLE OcCURRENCE.-Iti is scarce
ly ever within the province of newspa-
per to chronicle more sickening acct
dent than that which happened to James
Milligan, who was drawn feet foremost
through two massive iron rollers only
three and a half inches apart, and which
are used in fattening bars of steel for
the plates of saws. Mr.. Milligan was
employed as blacksmith's helper in the
steel rolling mill of Wheeler & Co., of
Newburg, N. Y. He was climbing up
on board laid across rods over the roll
lers, in order to place in position wrench
which is used to regulate the space thro'
which the heated steel and iron are pas
sed, when the board suddenly tipped,
causing him to fall. His feet struck up
on the steep side in front Of the rollers,
which were revolving at the rate of six
ty times a minute, and were instantly
caught between them. The poor fellow
had but time to utter the single cry of
''Oh p while his body, feet foremost, was
being drawn through a space of only
three and half inches. Hardly a Sec
ond had elapsed, before the body was

clothes, presenting as it did, the most
horrible and sickening sight that eyes
could look upon. 1t dropped from the
rollers, limp and quivering mass, and

Not a whole or perfect bone remained in
his body, and many bones were protrud-

ferent places. The head was fearful

the rollers face upward, and it came out

PNEUMONIA.

This disease is reported to be quite
prevalent in this place, and many deaths
are ascribed to that cause. 1t is improp-
erly regarded as beyond the skill of the
medical faculty here, for the reason that
SO many deaths are given out as result
ing from pneumonia, while of the far
greater number attacked who are speed
lily restored to health no account what
ever is given. We copy from the Science
of Health the following account of the
disease and the remedies to be applied.
We of course cannot undertake to pass
upon the merits of the suggestions there
in contained, and therefore give them
for the consideration of parties inter-
ested:
Pneumonia is an inflammation of the
lungs, attended with fever. Sometimes
the fever is of the diathesis termed in
hammatory, and sometimes of the low
diathesis to which the term typhoid
is applied. In either case the chief
trouble and danger wholly consist (aside
from treatment in engagement of the
lungs. They are SO congested with ac-
cumulated blood that breathing is labo-
rious, the cough severe and distressing
and expectoration difficult. The fever
may be mild or violent. But in all cases
the essential point in the treatment is to
relieve the overloaded vessels of the
lungs. This is to be done, not by taking
he 90 n, L.
nor poisoning the stomach, but simply
by determining the circulation from the
lungs to other parts of the body, and
freeing the whole mass of blood of its
effete and viscid matters. And all this
can be accomplished by balancing the
temperature steadily at or near the nor
NAL condition standard. In a day or two,
sometimes in few hours, and in the
worst cases within week, the patient
will be fairly convalescent.
The structure of the lungs being
spongy and elastic so as to allow all the
blood in the body to pass through them
once in three minutes, enables them tc
bear an immense degree of engagement
without disorganization.
The pain in the lungs may be very

breathing exceedingly distressing, the
fever intense and the patient utterly
Frustrated, with no danger OF dying
providing nothing is done amiss, for the
excretory organs are gradually casting
out the impurities from the whole mass
of blood, and the myriads of little glands
in the lungs themselves are unloading
the congested vessels by the process Of
expectoration, so that in due time the
trouble is removed and the patient (no
the disease) is cured.
In order to maintain the balance o
circulation SO that nature can perform
her remedial work successfully, the sur
face must be frequently bathed will
water of a temperature suited to thu
circumstances of each case, the rule
being, the warmer the surface or any
part of it, the cooler the water.

The disease, now affecting nearly all

i'll favor OF Cleveland and Mills, the sit
ting members. In the organization of
White Pine county in 1869, it was allowed
two Senators, but the Legislature failed
to designate one for four years and the
other for two years. At the election in
November last Wagner and Allen were
elected respectively for the long and
short term. Now the Senate has de.
cided that both Cleveland and Mills were
entitled to four years, and that there
being no vacancy to supply, the election
of Wagner and Allen was invalid. 1t is
now the duty of the Legislature so to
amend the original act that at the next
election one Senator will be chosen TO,

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN New

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN NEVADA
There is before the Nevada Legislature a
bill to abolish capital punishment. The
papers do not favor it; they think that a
little more hanging would be better for
their State. They are not discussing
the question on any mere theories, nor
are they at all sentimental. They say
that the sentences to life Imprisonment
would not exert any great restraint over
evil-doers, because every year or two
there is general Jail delivery. The
pententiary is so insecure that escapes
are frequent, and those who will not
walk out stand good chance OF receive
ing pardon from the Governor. Until
they get stronger jails and Governors
who possess more firmness, they cannot
afford to change the law. If an altera-
ton should be made, it is likely that the
business of Judge Lynch would be ma
terially increased.-[ Oakland News.
