DURING the prevalence of the cholera
at Gallatin, Tenn, it was noticed that
mocking-birds and canaries in cages
sickened and died, while those which
frequented the gardens instinctively
fled to the woods, and did not return
until the cholera took its departure.

AREyfARKABLE FLY,

l.. j. Proctor gives an interesting account
of DIR. Livingstone's former travels and eX-
ploratious in Central Africa in Frdzer'S
Magazine. In the course Of this paper we
are told "the country beyond Linyanti is
greatly infested by the 'tsetse' ~, the bite
of which is fatal to oxen, horses and dogs,
but harmless to man, goats, sheep and wild
animals. After its bite is received, The vic
tim gradually pines, as if seized with con-
SUMPTION, and in longer or shorter tine
dies. There is no cure for il known. The
fly resembles a honey bee, and is about The
size Of the common horsefly. 1t only bites
in the day time, and is common through
Central Africa" To escape this fly DR..
Livingstone travelled mostly in the night.
The poison of serpent that will kill man
and sheep will not harm hcg; but 1t APP
pears curious that the poison of fly fatal
to horse, OK and dog, should not injure
man, goat, sheep, nor wild animal. The
phenomena of poisons, as developed in
rsbid dogs, and communicated to their VIC
Tins and developed in healthy animals, as
shown in the sting of bees, the bites Of in
sects and reptiles are amopg the most re-
markable in nature. Probably not one per-
son in ten bitten by a mad dog ever has the
disease; but such as do have it all die. The
supposed cures and preventives are limited
TO cases where the morbid matter takes no
effect. The cause of escape is SIS little
known as the nature of the venom.

The organ of the Memphis anti Funders,
in is issue Of the 18th, an ounces with
seeming glee, Tennessee Bonds are still
declining" But alas for this short-liVed
Joy. Tennessee credit, like Banquo's ghCst,
"will not Gown" They are up again. If
the funding bill could have been defeated,
if il could now be repealed, Tennessee
bonds would go down low enough to satisfy
the veriest Spectator in deprecated cur
rency that ever losfed around Memphis
brokers' shop. But the funding law is a
fixed fact, The engraving and printing
are being done, and all attacks now upon
the funding law can reasonably have but
one purpose, that is, the depreciation Of
the credit of the State. Notwithstanding
the extreme stringency in the money mar
ket, the extraordinarily high rate of interest
paid for money by the day, and the high
price of gold, such has been the confidence
inspired in the faith and credit Of Tennes-
see by the passage of the funding law that
the Memphis bears have been unable to
pull the bonds down az low "a they were
before the Legislature met. Tennessee
credit and Tennessee prosperity must 60
hand in hand. Destroy the former and the
latter will be blasted, This the people are
beginning to find out.

THE CIVIL SERVICE DODGE

Grant is still keeping up the civil service
reform sham, and has appointed two per
sons to take the places of Curtis and Medill
who have resigned. The Philadelphia
North american, Republican journal, in
the course of a well written obituary Of
civil service reform, printed in its editorial
columns on the 18th inst, said:
SIT matters very little what plans are
abandoned, or modified, if only the bust
ness of great nation is well done. There
is no room for dreamy experiments; aud if
any plan hinges upon strictly concurring
opinion il may as well be abandoned with
out further waste of time. The President
must, after all, be President, and any at
tempt to saddle his duties upon an advise
~ board will signally fail"
But this was not the talk before the cleo
ton! Indeed, the New York Times, no
less an administration organ, says:
"a newspaper WI tier who found it en-
tirely consistent with his sense of independ-
ence to hold a lucrative office under the
Federal Government dnring the late can
vas, says: I'VE do not care straw, and
never aid, for civil service REFORM and adds
that he has only one single regret, and
that is, that it was ever adopted as plank
of the Philadelphia Convention 1t aoGS
adopted as plank CT that platform, no W
ever, and mainly because the shrewd men
who devised the platform believed the re-
form met the views of the people. They
were correct in their belief. Every sheer
at the reform from RepubIicans, and eyery
attempt to secure lis abandonment, only
injure the party, and silica the recent record
of Congress, we suggest 10 all concerned
that the party can very well spare addition
al injury from any source"

THE Cincinnati Times and Chronicle
does not take kindly to the suggestion OF
tbs New Y ork Tribune that Gov. NOyes, OF
Ohio, is likely to be nominated for re cleo,
ton, with the understanding that he will be
sent TO the United States Senate in place Of
Senator Thurman, in the event the Repub-
ncans carry the election. The Times and
Chronicle does lot doubt that its party is
disposed TO honor the Governor with a re-
election, but says it viii be "with the under
standing that such election is to accepted
in good faith" and calls for san explicit and
authorized declaration on the subject be-
fore the nomination is made" 1t adds,
with suggestion of vinegar ia its manner:
"We venture TO say that the Republicans
of Ohio will never consent TO 60 through
with an idle ceremony like that performed
in behalf of Gov. Oglesby in Illinois, last
yea, for the benefit of a"y man living.
There is no such scarcity of ft men for the
Senatorship 10 this State as to make such
burlesque of the ballot at all necessary"
This is pref sharp rebuke of the Illinois
Republicans.

1T is very easy to disown responsibility.
As soon as the Crescent City Republican
Club in New Orleans heard of the frightful
and murderous affair in Grant paris b OF
course it proceeded to pass a resolution.
Alter embarrassing" in the most orthodox
and approved manner, it took occasion Gin
a resolution) TO "repudiate any sffiliation
or connect ion with the rioters, whatever
might be their object or design" All these
repudiators have been warm supporters of
the Administration and Of the majority in
Congress, to the imbecility Of which, says
the New York Tribune, we owe the des-
perate state of affairs in Louisiana. 1t may
be very nice to pass a resolution after a
massacre; but a massacre it remains, all
the same, the pitiful result of the feeblest
public policy which any country has ever
known.

THE Harrisburg State Journal, Repub-
lican organ, presents this pen picture OF
one of the Republican aspirants for the
Presidency:
"The effort to puff Speaker Blaine into a
vast notoriety, as the great man of the
times, has about it too much Of the IMAM
agement' which disgraces so much of Amer
lean politics. Mr.. Blaine has his strong
pOints-but he is demagogue, nevertbe-
less, and a tyrant, whenever he can act the
part without injury to bis person or to his
prospects. As 3 parlismentarian, Mr.
Blaine is a success, but that neither proves
him to be astltesman nor fits him to be 3
President"

IT turns out after all that the story of the
sboxed up man" coming to life after a mar
vellously long confinement in an alright
coffin, which we copied from the Philadel-
phia Press few days ago, is untrue; but
the Press says it was printed by that paper
in good faith, and was so told its reporter
Had it been the drst of April there would
have been some excuse for the sell.

The Jackson (Miss } Clarion of the 18th

1. Her capitalists and operatives, wheth-
er in the factory or on the farm, use large
amount of labor-saving machinery, which
produces much and consumes very little.
This is telling withdrawing power in
the State fol the equal benefit of capital and
labor in all their forms.
2. Protective legislation by Congress has
favored the manufacturers Of cotton and
woolen fabrics in Massachusetts and New
England far more than it has the growers
of cotton and wool in other parts of the
United States. While the tariff gives east
ern manufacturers fifty cents profit for the
use Of one dollar year, it caRpels western
farmers to raise from two to four bush,ls of
corn to buy every fifty cents they receive
under the same system of protection"
A government machine which operates so
palpably to make the few who are rich
richer, and the many who are poor poorer,
needs remodeling to be just or popular.
8. Massachusetts labor and intellect ar e
not only remarkably active, but mora COM
pacAy organized for all the purposes ofpro-
duction, and influencing public opinion in
other States, than the labor and intellect of
any other people. Capital, tongue, pen
and printers ink are used freely to bend
the policy of the nation to suit the inter
ests Of men who want the American peo-
pie to pay them high wages for factory
work, and the trife of 49, per cent. on
money. Massachusetts, aims to treat the
great agricultural interest fairly after this
fashion: "You may take the buzzard and l
will take the turkey; but if that is unfair, l
will take the turkey and you may take the
buzzard." The farmer must be content
with the offensive, une ltable bird.
