An Important Medical Question In
Court.

In a capital case lately tried before the
Supreme Court of Massachusetts,, medical
evidence was given on one side, showing
that it was impossible to distinguish with
certainty, human blood from that Of q
horse, and on the other side, evidence is
given showing that the difference between
the two kinds of blood is distinctly reveal
ed by the microscope. The remark able
fact here involved presents itself in the
light of the Investigations made by emf
nent men of science in Europe, and with
concurrent results, showing that though
there are, beyond question differences Of
size, determinsble by careful micrometric
measurement-the human corpuscles thus
appearing to be on an average larger than
those of the horse-yet, even in fresh
blood, these differences have been found
SO slight as to be recognised only with s1-
treme difficulty. In human blood the
corpuscles are seen to vary from 3005 to
5000 to an inch. the average being $500.
In horse blood the same variations exist,
the average being 46OO-so that very
small human corpusclcs and very large
horse corpuscles might be placed side by
side and found equal in size. This is in
fresh blood, in dried blood the differences
are almost blotted out, SO that it has been
universally agreed, that when blood has
once become dried, it is not possible to
distinguish the blood of one mammal from
that of another.

Tn. combat between prayer snd whisksy

lurid fame still extends from San Fran.

smoke of battle may be heard the thunder
of the captains and the shouting. One

phia, however, the good work doss mot
seem to prosper. The publican continues
to vsnd his "disinfectants," and The horn
fths ungodly is exalted very frequently.
Worse still, the wicked publican pliss his
unholy traffic on Sundays, and the city
authorities declare themselves unable 70
stop it. Even many Of the police have
been dismissed for imbibing the profsne
and worldly snifter. In Baltimore ws do
not hear of any organizedsplan Of battle,
but we know that good generals are d.
ways reticent. And we warn the publ.

The Hampton Roads Conference.

General Hill in his speech before the
Southern Historical Society at Atlanta,
gave the following bit of history:
"The full history of the Hampton Roads
commission and conference has never been
written. I will not give that history now.
Much has been published and said upon
the subject which is not true. I know
why each member of that commission, on
our part, was elected I received from
Mr.. Davis own lips, q full account Of the
conversation, between himself and the
commissioners, before their departure from
Richmond.
"You have heard it said that the Presi-
dent embarrassed the commissioners, by
giving them positive instructions to make
the recognition of our Independence an
ultimatum-a condition precedent to any
negotiations. This is not true. Mr.. Davis
gave the commissioners no written instruc,
tions, and no ultimatum. He gave them
in conversation, his views, but leaving
much to their discretion. They could best
Judge how to conduct the conference when
they met. His own opinion was, that it
would be most proper and wise, to conduct
tho conference, if possible, so as to receive
rather than make propositions. While he
did not feel authorized to yield our indie
pendence in advance, and should not do
so, and while he did NOT desire them to
deceive Mr.. Lincoln, or be responsible for
any false impressions Mr.. Lincoln might
have, yet he was willing for them to secure
an armistice, although they might be sat
is6ied, that in agreeing to il Mr.. Lincoln
did so under the belief that reunion as
result must follow. I must add that Mr..
Davis had no hope Of success, or Of secur-
ing an armistice, after he learned that MIR.
Seward was to accompany Mr.. Lincoln
"Mr. Lincoln" he said, "is an honest,
we'll meaning man, but Seward is why and
treacherous."
