ject Whether the fy was cotempora-
neous with tho original monkey man,
polly.wog man, or any other man was
ever permitted on earth without his at

themselves in the palGozoicera. or came
out at the drift formation, is of no con.
sequence We have flies in abundance
now, and that is all--morc--than we care
to know. There are many families Of flies,
but the kind whereof We now discourse
is waggshly termed the "housc fly. /"
We view it as the everywhere ily 1t

air, perambuatss the earth, and dies in
the water. 1t has head which is all
cercbelum, which accounts for its insa

shaped like n military shell. 1t has q
a miniature trunk en- the principle of the
clephant-six legs, six feet two wings,
and several thousands Of eyes. Viewed

interesting, but y telescope view is far
preferable Its principal occupation is

Hence its feet arc on the suction prlnci-

DANGERS OF IoBACco CHEwING-Re.
Gently there was brought into a San
Francisco court one Annie Wclch, mus
cuar female, charged with attempting to
murder her husband. His head was
broken, he was bruised up generally, and
had evidently been rolled in the gutter in
n very energetic manner. When the de-
rcndant was called on for explanation,
sho described the provocation by which
the wretched man had brought the trouble
upon himself BE was given to the fthy
habit of tobacco chewing, and with the
usual recklessness Of persons so deprav-
ed, he permitted the vile juice to soil his
shirt bosom He had been adorned with
clean linen that very morning, and duly
warned against such carelessness. In
Eve minutes afterward Mrs Welch OBJ
served the filthy dscoction staining the
immaculate shirt front. This was too
much. She seized n roling.pin and Wig
orously reminded him Of the duty he
owed to society and public deeency. The
court inflicted small fine, considering
tho aggravation an unbearable one.

POETRY.
The Canary at Church

They we're singing good old London,
As the evening. cool and sweet.
Dritted with purple shadows
Adown the city street.
Round every churehly window
The lusty ivy clung;
The red, faint sunshine hickered
It's matchless leaves among.
The dim nave, with its arches
And clustered pillars raro,
nad echoed to the cadence
Of the pale rector's prayer.
Asd new, through tender silence.
The thrilling flute note rang;
And sweet as angels voices
The rare old tune they sang.
W hen sudden, 10 /! appearing
On carving, quaint and old.
Like fair estray from heaven,
Fluttered spec of gold.
On to the lecturn flying.
Up to the bishops chair,
With clear notes soaring. chanting
His wondTous yesper there,
Full rolled the singing voices
Yet sweeter, richer, higher,
Gods silver-throated chorister
Outsang the trained choir.

EPIZOOTIC.

The near approach Of the dreaded
horse disease, which has so ravaged in
the East, Gripping transportation facil-
tiles everywhere, induces reflection as
to its probable effect when it shall infest
this community, and also as to the best
means OF guarding against or curing it.
The following article on the subject,
copied from the Louisville Journal, may
prove of considerable interest to our
readers at this time:
zootic-Is this the proper name?
If not, tn re is a long catalogue of nam 8
from which to select: epIhppc, hippo
z1ot.c, hi po pleurits, hippo-catarrh,
etc., al meaning or applied to a conta-
gous disease attacking numbers of cattle
at the same time and place. Be the
meaning what it may, the disease
has attracted or enforced great public
attention. Some regard it, and very
properly, as species Of influenza, due
to atmospheric causes; most probably to
ozone in excess. This gives influenza to
the human being generally, as some
claim, who are among the leading OBJ
servers of ozonic fluctuations. The hu-
man family has largely suffered in the
respiratory passages during the prev
aence Of the horse disease and these
results are most probably due to the
same cause. The disease has not pre-
vailed as often with horses as it has with
the humgn family, but it is certainly not
new complaint among horses; the sx.
tent and rapidity of itsprevalence among
them, has this year been rare indeed,
but in other respects there is nothing
worthy of note. -..
The pathology of this epidemic is
nothing other than an Inflammation of
tue mucous tissues of the respiratory
assageS; confined in mild cases to the
schneiaerian membrane; (the membrane
lining the nose) extending sometimes to
the trachea, primary bronchial tubes and
capillary bronchial tubes; and, at times.
invading the pulmonary alvioli, and
even the pleur@. That too early expo
sure should have developed pleuritis,
and that this should have extended to its
second stage, resulting in effusion, caus-
ing the horse to die of "dropsy," is but
natural. Where horses have, previous
to the attack, been badly fed, over
worked, and kept in foul stables, they
have hal, during or after their attack of
the epizootic, a serious infliltration of
the clular tissue; species of general
dropsy. This sequel to the disease is
not, however, one of its symptoms, nor
can it be regarded as belonging necessa-
rly to its pathology.
The most remarkable phenomenon
during the epidemic has been that sensi
bic people have lost their horses
and, instead of allowing the afflicted
horses to "get over their colds" just
as they would do, by the use of suffi
cieut clothing, careful diet, and tn,
avoidance OF exposure, they have treated
their poor beast in the most brutal man
