At the last meeting Of Tue French Asso-
citation for the Advancement for Science
NJ. Chauveau gave TO the section what he
termed a demonstration of the transmits
sion of tuberculosis by tho digestive or
gans. lie observed that his numerous OBJ
servatiops enabled him to state that If the
healthy young Of animals susceptible OF
tuberculosis were fed with food with which
the matter of tuberclo was mixed, they
would all exhibit tuberculosis in various
organs. In anticipation OF this meeting,
he had purchased some healthy calves
and, having had them fed as described, on
slaughtering them The sxtieth day alter the
first infection, the Emphatic system was
found extensively tubercuized, while cas-
eous deposits existed in The lungs. This
thesis be demonstrates most conclusively,
and he is supported in his differences by an
apparently wholly independent series of
experiments carried on 10y DR.. Klobs, in
Germany, which he has recorded in one of
the ArchiU fur Erpcrim. Pdth0logic (Hcn

DR.. Klebs asserts that the milk of tuber-
cular cows brings on tuberculosis in vari-
GUS animals. The affection generally COM
mences with intestinal cltarrh, followed
y.tuberculizationO tthe meSenteric gaDglia,
the liver, the spleen, and ending in extensive
military tuberculosis Of the tEoracc organs.
Injection by means of milk may be with
out result in vigorous organisms; and the
author has even seen full formed tubercles
resorb and disappear through cicatrizhtion.
1t is likely, adds DIR. kebs that the tuber-
cular virus is contained in varying proper
tions in the rilk OF cows which are more
or less diseased, and the scrofulosis may
occur, in children born without tubercle,
or wet nurse. In conclusion, the author
expresses the view that the virus is con-
tanned in serum of milk, ina dissolved state,
and that it is not destroyed by boiling,
which is ordinarily insufficient.
If these facts are not overstated, and they
do not seem to be so, what a dangerous ar
ticle must be that which is measured out
in thousands of gallons daily, in all large
cities, the product of phthisical cows, fed
on distilery Stops, and chokcd with foul
odorsl The milk of one tuberculous COW
will contamnate that of the whole dairy

handsome and happy wife of man who
had but one evil habit-that of poaching
One night he was pursued by a forester,
and, turning, he shot the man. The deed
was seen by others, and he was obliged to
fly. With his wife and two children, one
of them an infant, he went towlI d the Aus.
trian frontier, and at night, when all were
sleeping, concealed II. a thicket, the sound
of hools was heard. Touching his wife's
arm, the husband whispered, "The gen.
darmesw She started SO suddenly aud so
violently that the infant sluniboring in her
arms awOke and began to cry. The father
ordered her TO keep it quiet, and the poor
woman held the little one closer aud closer
endeavorins to stop its cries, whilo the gem
darmcs had halted and appeared to be lis
teninG. The husband laid bis hand on the
child's mouth and held il there for ten min
utes that his pursueiS might not discover
his hiding place. When, at last, they rode
away, the child was dead The family went
on its way, and at the frontier the customs
officers inquired fthey had anything to de-
clare. " Nothing" said the murderer; but
the unhappy nnthor, unonvaring bor sload

her reason in the conflict OF wilely and

WILL OF AN IRISH MIsER.-An Irish
man named Dennis Tolam, who died at
Cork, possessed of considerable wealth, in
the year 1859, left a singular will, contain
ing the following testamentary dispositions:
~ leave to my sster-in-law four old stock
ings, which will be found under my mat
tress, to the right. Item-To my nephew
Michael Tarles, two odd socks and green
night-cap. Item-To Lieutenant John
Stein, blue stocking, with a red cloak.
Item-To my cousin Barbara Dolan, my
old boot with red flannel pocket Item
To Hannah, my house-keeper, my broken
Watering" After the death of the testator
the legatees having been convened by the
notary to be present at the reading of the
will, each, as he or she was named, shrup-
ged their shoulders and otherwise express
ed contemptuous disappointment, while
parties uninterested in the succession could
not refrain from laughing at these rdlcu-
lous, not to say insulting, legacles. All
were leaving the room, after signifying their
Intention OF renounclng their requests,
when the last named, Hannah, having tes-
titled her indignation by kicking away the
broken pitcher, a number of coins rolled
out of IT. the other individuals, astonished
at the unexpected incident, began TO think
better of their determination, and requested
permission to examine the articles devised
to them. 1t is needless to say that on pro-
ceeding to the search, the stockings, socks,
pocket, &C., soon betrayed by their weight
the value Of their contents, and the hoard
OF the testator, thus fairly distributed, left
on the minds of the legatees very differ
ent impression of his worth.

THAT $4,000 Cow AGAIN.-It seems that
the sale of the celebrated Eighth Duchess
of Geneva, shorthorn COW, recently re-
ierred to in our columns, knocked down at
the New York Mills auction to Mr.. II. Pa
vim Davis of Worcestershire, England, at
the normous price Of $4,000, was effected
through mistake. The agent of the pur-
chaser, during the excitement of the bid
ding, became confused as TO the relative
value of the pounds sterling and dollars,
and offered far beyond his authorized linn
it. His principal Immediately, Oh learn
ing of the bargain, ordered the sale of The
animal, which was recently consummated
TO Colonel Lewis G. Morris, of Fordham,
N. Y, report says for the sum of $50, 600.
The highly valued animal, therefore re-
mains among the American breeders.

The Boston Transcript has this curious
personals" "At the present day, when
comparatively few sons continue through
life TO occupy the houses erected by their
fathers, the following incident is worthy of
record. In town not twenty miles dis
tant from Boston, on the 9th of November
last, the family of gentleman formerly in
business in our city, now residing in the
old homestead on the farm inherited from
his ancestors, sat down to the two hundred
and nineteenth Thanksgiving dinner at
which the household of some member OF
his family in the direct male line, for eight
generations, had assembled under the same
roof-tree. The house was built in 1854, and
though it has since been frequently re-
paired and enlarged, the old frame and
ralers still remain. Probably not many
cases of such an uninterrupted annual OBJ
servance Of our New England festival can
be found"

FRIDAY EVENING, JAN. 20, 1874.


week ago today, when red-hnred sahy
Down 10 the sugar camp came TO see me,
Isav her checked frock coming down the valley,
Far as anybodys eye could see
Now I sii before the camp fire,
And can't see the pine knots blaze,
Nor saly's pretty face a-shining,
Though hear the good words she says
week ago tonight I Was tired and lonely,
Sally was gone back to Masons fort
And the boys by the sugar Kettles left me only;
They we're hunting coons for sport.
BY there sneAked painted Pawnec,
was asleep before the FIRE;
He creased my two eyes with his Ratchet,
And scalped me TO his hearts desire.
There they found me on the dry tussocks lying,
Bloody and cold as a live could be-
hoot-owl on the branches overhead was crying,
Crying murder to the red Pawnee;
They brought me to the campfire,
They washed mo in the sweet white spring;
But my eyes were full Of flashes,
And all night my ears would sing
1 thought was q hunter on the prairie,
But they saved me for an old blind dog;
when the hunting-grounds are cool and airy,
shall lie here like helpless log.
1 can't ride the little wiry pony,
That scrambles over hills high and low;
can't set my traps for the cony,
Or bring down the black buffalo.
I'm no better than q rusty, burstcd rifle,
And don't see signs Of any other trail;
Here by the campfire blaze lie and stiHe,
And hear Jim fill the kettles with his pail
It's no use groaning. like Sally,
But Digger squaw wouldn't have mel
l wish they hadn't found me in the valley
It's twice dead not to seel Rose Terry.

First Cos, Of a Man or Woman.

An economic journal enters into curl
Gus calculation as to the actual cost, in dol
lars and cents, which a man or woman
would be to the world aud society by the
time he or she got old enough to begin to
"psy expenses" or to return back TO the
country what thus far had been expended
in rearing their population.
Every baby, it is fair TO assume, when
properly brought up, costs its parents at
least fifty dollars year, an expense which
increases largely as food, clothing, the shell
ter of a warm home, education, and spend
ing money are required for the growing
child. The actual cost up to the fifteenth
year, of each child in this Republic, is GER
tainly not less than thousand dollars. At
that age its labor would be worth its sub
sistence. Not Till it reaches the age Of
eighteen land great many not even them
does it really begin to be productive. For
every 100000 children the nation has to
produce six or eight millions of dollars
consumed without adding at all to produc-
ton. To rear that number of children to
a productive age certainly costs hundred
millions of dollars, without any profit
whatever in return. Herein is the great
value of immigration. This great Repub-
lie receives into its broad and glorious bo-
som every day not less than one thousand
emigrants from the old world. Of course
two-thirds, perhaps, seven-eighths, are
adults, ready grown for us by Europe at
her cost up to the productive point, when
they come TO our shores to give us the ben
eft Of their toll. Annually does Europe
labor industriously to produce and raise
for our Republic, free of cost, more than
100000 persons, who we could not have
furnished ourselves at an expense of $780,
100000. No wonder that we grow rich and
prosperous, for the loss of the world is our
gam, and all countries are nursing mothers
