Trfehlna Spiralis at Toledo.

About eight weeks ago g German
laborer, Manned Ellers, living in
Toledo bought a couple of pounds
of sausage, which he took home.
They were rarely cooked the next
morning and eaten at breakfast.
The next day Ellers was seized
with peculiar symptoms, which cul
minated in a violent diarrhea and
vomiting, lasting about twenty four
hours. His wife and two children
were also attacked with pains.
Physicians being summoned, pro-
nounced the trouble with Mrs. Ell
lers and the children rheumatism,
and treated them for that Other
physicians were called in. who .di-
agnosed the disease correctly. Five
weeks after the attack one of the
children, a boy aged three years,
died in great agony. Last Thurs
day afternoon Mrs. Ellers died, and
a microscopic examination made
yesterday of portions Of the flesh
taken from the lungs, limbs and
other portions OF the body. revealed
the fact that the whole system
swarmed with t1ichina. In Jumps
Of flesh no larger than pin head
were found from fifteen to twenty

other child is not dead yet, but
lives in very critical condition. II
is supposed that Ellers' life was
saved by the violent purging ano
vomiting which he underwent. The
case is exciting much interest il

The Pail Mall Gazette tells of
story apropos of the appointment Of
M de Saint Denys to the post OF Sor-
bone, professor of Chinese, Of what
happened to his late predecessor in
that learned CHARM. Stanislas
Julien. When nj. Julien was NOM
mated to the post, his lectures were
given on Thursday and Saturday Of
each week, but for the first month his
audience consisted solely of the stove,
which could scarcely be expected to
derive much benefit from a lecture on
language. One day, greatly to his
surprise, large party of fashionably
dressed ladies and gentlemen put in an
appearance, and NJ. julien, out of
CALAMITY to the former, began his lee
ture by translating a sonnet by the
Chinese poet Li-o-Tsing, in which
woman is compared to the lotos of
the Yellow River" The audience APP
peared to follow the lecture with deep
interest, and M. Julien began to think
that his Office would be no sinecure.
There was large attendance the fol-
lowing week, and among the company,
the lecturer noticed one gentleman
who had been present on the previous
occasion. and whom he set down as an
admirer Of the Chinese language. This
gentleman continued to attend a whole
course Of the lectures, accompanied
on each occasion by fresh party, and
it was only six months afterward that
NJ. julien discovered that he was 9

For the Palladium.

NO08reSoAOO01s
The convention for choosing can
didate for Congress. for this district
being near at hand. it is high time for
the people to be casting about in
search of a proper person to make the
race. The candidate, whoever he
may be, in order to bring about sue
cessful issue, will have quite enough
to do. The Democratic Goliah is al
ready in the field and is challenging
the hosts Of Israel. Who shall be our
champion, is the question?
1t is conceded that Mr.. Holman
will be the Democratic candidate. He
is man of great natural shrewdness,
yet, withal, most INSCRIPTIONS"
possessing moro ability than integrity.
He has his smiles for the just, and he
SMILES WITH the unjust, and is not
unlearned in all the little arts that
make demagogue formidable. The
"unterrifed" have unbounded conf
dence in their champion and he will
receive their undivided support, let
his reputation and character be what
they may, for Democratic strength lies
in the blindness of faith" "Thou
hast faith, and l have works." is the
only admonition Mr.. Holman need
give in order to rally his friends.
In selecting a man to oppose Mr..
Holman the Republican party should
choose one fully his equal-his supe-
rior if possible. Three candidates for
the nomination are at this time in the
field; Mr.. Claypool, of Fayette county,
Mr.. Reynolds. of Randolph, and Mr..
Adams, of Franklin. Mr.. Reynolds
is young lawyer, rather an affable
gentleman and fair speaker; but his
age and inexperience are objections
urged against him even by his friends.
Mr.. Adams is an attorney of average
ability, pleasant rather than forci-
BILE speaker, and is perhaps NOT the
superior of Mr.. Holman in mental
force; as a politician he is certainly
not his peer. While it may be conce-
ded that Mr.. Adams is now an earnest
and staunch Republican, yet his polit-
ical record is not without objection,
as will be made to appear by his enc
mics if he is nominated. Mr.. Clay
pool is undoubtedly the best qualified
of any of the candidates mentioned.
He is Mr.. Holman's peer in every
respect-his superior in many. His
political record cannot be impeached.
He is fearless and forcible speaker,
and combining as he docs, great nat
ural ability with a finished education,
he would prove more than match
for Mr.. Holman upon the stump"
and would make a representative of
whom the district might we'll be proud.
l speak thus of Mr.. Claypool solely
upon my own responsibility, believing
what say, and with no intent to dis
parage the prospects of any other cam
didate.
In selecting public servants, it is
the duty Of good citizens to lay aside
their personal likes and dislikes, y
and choose able men. Mr.. Claypool's
ability is beyond question; his reputa-
ton as citizen is excellent. and his
political record is untainted; he is a
fluent speaker and ready debater,
and certainly every earnest and sincere
Republican must we'll say, "these be
the things which determine my
choice. The Republican party will
do we'll to select Benz. F. Claypool as
their candidate in the coming contest

A correspondent of the New
York Times, writing from Rome,
says that American sculptors are
paid higher prices than the artists
of almost any other nation. He
recalls an illustrative example of
the past: The citizens of Boston
raised $4,000 for the statue of
Daniel Webster, made by the late
Mr.. Powers. The statue was lost
by the wreck of the vessel which
carried it to America. AS it was
insured the money was paid over
to the committee, who thus had in
their hands double the amount
originally subscribed. An arrange
ment was made with the artist for
making a replicate, at the price of
$1,000. Mr.. Powers had only to
send his model second time to the
bronze foundry of Papi, in Flor
ence, paying about $4,000 for
casting the figure each time. He
thus had SIS, 900 for his own labor
of q few months. MIR. Powers Was
indignant when the fact was given
in the newspapers at the time; but
as the transaction was perfectly
honest one there was nothing to be
ashamed OF, and the public were
interested to here of such good
fortune

The following just article from the
Cincinnati Gazette, speaks our mind
regarding this unfortunate affair,
and the Judgment of the American
People is, that Mr.. Beecher must
speak out-he cannot longer remain
silent and retain the respect of Chris
tain men and women or his own self
respect:
The charges of Theodore Tilton
against Henry Ward Beecher are
too grave to be passed over in
silence by the person against whom
they are directed. Whether true
or false, they give such point and
coherency to scandalous rumors
which have been floating about for
a year or two past, their real weight
must be promptly and satisfactorily
ascertained. A minister influence,
like woman reputation, is dam
aged by even the suspicion of inn
purity. We may regard Tilton as
an egotist, and as the eulogizer, if
not the companion, of vile women,
yet his allegations are not to be set
aside by mere contemptuous re.
fusal to notice them. Mr.. Beecher's
good fame is the property of the
nation. He is not simly the pastor
of Plymouth Church, but the re-
ligious and moral instructor of
thousands who have never heard
his voice or seen his face. He has
leavened, whether 70. good or evil,
the theology of the age, and his
ways and expressions are initiated
in many pulpit where his theology
is not taught. No decent or kind
tempered man, be he the admirer
or critic of MIR. Beecher's peculiar
tiles, can feel aught but sorrow for
his trouble. If his guilt should be
proved, the faith of many in minis
terial integrity would be shaken
The genial good nature, the over
flowing humor, the exuberant fancy
and the many sided mind Of Mr.
Beecher have given him a position
uneaualed by that of any othel
clergyman in America. We do no
compare him with Shakespeare, yet
we remember no one who has mor'
nearly aproximated the versatilit.
of the great dramatist. It is re
markable to see with what unan
unity the New York papers expires
their sympathy for Mr.. Beecher i
his trouble. The Tribune, of whic
Mr.. Tilton is one Of the proprietori
regrets his folly in rushing int
print with his troubles, while tn
World and the Herald refer to hir
with undisguised contempt. othe
journals are equally pronounced !
their criticisms. This remarkabl
agreement shows pretty clearly tn
current OF public sentiment IN Ne
York. If Mr.. Beecher falls, it WI
not be for the lack Of earnest an
generous supports. He must spea
out, however. IF his revelation
shall be painful to himself an
.aeonizing to others, he will not
responsible, for the veil has bee
half torn away by the hands OF
foe.

Some OF our Republican contem-

to what constitutes the Republican
party. They should know that it
does not consist alone in the Ex-

Offices and draw the salaries, but
that it is composed in good part of
men who perform the labor. pay
the taxes and do the voting. A
little occasional reflection on this
subject will do the Republican press
no harm. ~

The new currency bill has passed
both houses of Congress and the
President signed it on the 22d inst.
The Comptroller of the Currency
says that the $55, 100000 national
bank circulation it takes from the
East for redistribution in the West,
Indiana gets $2.SOO,OOO. Western
men claim the bill as great victory
snatched from the jaws of defeat,
as it takes from the President the
power to retire the $4,000, 600
reserve he put in circulation last
fall, and prevents contraction. It
will, also, throw into circulation
from 100000, 900 to $4,000, 900 of
legal tenders now locked up in the
banks. Eastern men say that it
expands the currency S5O,0o0,000,
while no one puts it lower than
$50, 100000 That the expansion
under the bill will be greater than
would have been, had the vetoed
bill became law, is conceded.
