R,acIx wrongs.

There never was a more miserable
pretense than has recently been put
forward in some parts OF the South to
justify outrages upon the blacks. II
Is pretended, and there may br possibly
some fools who believe it, that the
rights of the whites are 10 danger, and
that war of races is inevitable.
The chaff which we fud in some of
our Southern exchanges about the ne
groes-their desperate and dark de
signs, their secret organizations, their
DISCUSSES, their arms, their sinister &C
tlvity, aud all that,-caO hardly i'm
pose on any one. The negroes know
tco we'll the disadvantages under which
they labor to mediate any violence TO
the whites Here and there one driv-
en- to desperation, or acting under a
Keen sense Of wrong, may do violence; +;
but, as mass, the negroes OF the
South are peaceable and timid almost
to the verge of cowardice. Iu every
instance where it has been reported
hat the negroes were armiug, moving
IN masses upon towns and villages,
and breathiug out slaughter aud ra
pine, it has been found that they were
taking TO their heels, hiding in the
woods, aud doing their level best to
get out OF the way of danger.

Origin Of Typhoid Fever.

An English professor claims to have
discovered new cause Of typhoid fever.
A family in his neighborhood was at
tackled with a severe type of the disease,
and, on careful search of the premises,
a spout in the pump was found to be
covered with a sort of gelatinous mat
ter, Submitting this to microscopic in
vestigation, it was seen to be a fungoid
growth, from which spores were con-
stantly washed away by the flowing
water. Following up this discovery by
a minute examination Of the outlet of
the sewer through which the drainage of
the town flowed, there were found fun
gold growths of similar nature to
those in the pump spout. In the vicin-
ity Of this outlet the fever had also pre-
vailed. Having cases Of the fever in
his own family, the professor followed
up his inquiry by chemical analysis: of
the water drank, and found in it minute
spores of the same fungus. His conclu-
sion Isl therefore, that the fever had it's
origin III the fungus matter taken. into
the system, where it ferments as yeast
IN beer, and poisons'the blood.

Why No Buffalo are Found West Of the
Rocky Mountains. #
From the Denver (Col.A News.

Somebody has revived the stories
told by JAS. Bridger, who is, next to
Kit Carson, the pioneer trapper of all
that section of the country. One Of his
favorite stories was, that in the year
1920 he was wintering in Salt Lake Val
ley, when it commenced to, snow, and
continued seventy successive days, till
a depth Of seventy feet was obtained.
The country at that time abounded in
buffalo and other large game, all of
which persisted in the snow The lakes
and rivers in the following spring were
SO full of dead game, preserved in good
condition in the cold, that he was able
to stow up a large stock OF meat for the
next winters supply, using the brine Of
Salt Lake for the purpose. he con-
cluded this tale by declaring that since
that storm no buffalo had ever been
seen west of the Rocky Mountains. He
was also fond Of declaring that ''Bridg
er's Butte" table mountain named
after him, had ''steered around" to the
north since he first saw it, and that he
had told General Johnson SO, who, latter
consulting his text books, acknowledged
that he was right.
