gcncy Of climate. II IL certain that
prOtractcd residence in hot and
mnlarious regions exercises per-
sistcnt dclctcrious influence on
most if not all northern cOnstitu-'
tions. Tho races OF Europe find
Louisiana IN extreme climate, and
they aud their descendants are no
longer to be recognized after a pro-
longcd residence there. Acclimation
to malaria is II myth. ltspcrnicious
effects upon the human frame are
perceptibic at once, and the longer
the system is exposed 10 such action
the more thorough its subjection.
An European transplanted to the
south complains bitterly Of the heat
and becomes tanned his plump,
plcthoric frame becomes attcnuated;
his blood loses fibrino and red glob-
ucs; his mind and body becomes
sluggish; gray hairs and other
marks show that age has come on
prematurely; the man of forty looks
fifty years Of age; the average dur
alton of life 10 shortened-as shown
by the insurance tables--and the
race in time would be exterminated
if cut off from fresh supplies Of en-
igrants from the home country. Tho
European in the Antilles struggles
with existence. Moreil tells us that
European inhabitants of Jamaica,
of Cuba, of Hispaniola, ETC., have
made no progress since their estab-
lishmcnt there. The mortality
among the troops and officers of the
English army is greatest among
those who have remained longest in
India. Such is the graphic and, no
doubt, faithful picture Of the effects
produced by the combined and con-
tinuous action of malaria and high
temperature upon the natives Of
temperate climates, drawn by some
Of the best medical writers Of tho
age. From the nature of my expe-
rience the following conclusions ap-
pear TO me to me valid:
That certain parts Of our country
are characterized by climatic condi-
tions, to which, as rule, the north
ern climate is incapable Of adap-
tion.
That acclimation to malaria is
an utter impossibility.
That the unaided heat of hot
climate, acting continuously on the
system Of Il native Of temperate
climates, exerts, as rule, PERM.
cious effect, causing impairment of
the functions Of digestion, assimila-
tion and sanguanification, inducing
more or less anHmia, diminution of
the number Of respirations of the
heart, loss of weight, premature
blanching and loss of hair, u de-
crease of mental and physical vigor,
and to some extent shortening Of

1t was while Carleton was ex-
ploring among Persian and Arabic
inscriptions for characteristic en-
bclIishments to its pages that he hit
upon the quaint symbol that has
become so widely identified with
him and the books that bear his i'm
print. 1t is not copied from a tea
chest or fire-cracker box, as has
been sometimes suggested, but it is
the Arabic word for "books."

CONGRESSMAN KELLEY is being
duly sat upon by the administration
organs for daring 10 say he regretted
his vote in favor of the force bill.
The Washington paper gives him
kick, and the Philadelphia Press re-
minds him in this way that the road
to party favor does not lie in telling
the truth about the south: "If We
are not mistaken Mr.. Kelley once
before took the bolus of southern
trip with opposite results of the
most violent kind. Evidently the
operation Of this medicine may de-
pend on the condition of the pa
tient."

There are 102 feminine students
in Boston university.
There are S75 pupils in the New
England conservatory of music, al
Boston.
The state appropriation for the
Rhode Island public schools ir

There are now in this country
fifteen universities in which colored

An elective in the new philosophy
is advocated among the phil

Harvard.
The plan for the enforcement o
compulsory education in San Fran
cisco resembles that in operation in
New York.
The Indiana assembly has given
$50, 900 to Pardue university for the
purchase of literary and scientific
appliances.
There are 3S agricultural colleges
in this country, employing aItogcth
cr $50 professors and assistants, anc
instructing 3,9l7 students.
Mr.. &. A. Sala says that will

systems Of the day are either bar

DR.. Edouard Hitzig, of Berlin
known for his researches en- the
brain, has been elected to the chair
of psychology in the university
of Zurich.
The Ohio Wesleyan university
needs money badly, and the toul
conferences patronizing the insttu'

an endowment fund of 100000.
The Maine State college at Orono
is said to be in flourish ing condi

agriculture is to be fully maintained

ton in solid geometry at Harvard
the scale OF marks was SO low that
nearly a hundred members the class
are in danger Of conditions. Six
teen questions were given, and an
swers to fourteen were required
these fourteen, it IS said, being pro.
positions whose very difficult solu'
tion would be perplexing to far
wiser mathematicians than the aver
age freshman.
A reduction of fifteen per cent on
the salaries of principals, and twelve
per cent on those of teachers is pro.
proposed in Allegheny, Penn. This
would in some cases bring down
salaries to $50 80 a month, which
sum is curious sort Of compensa'
ton for labor so important and IA
tiguing. 1t does not appear to be
possible to make certain class OF
Americans understand that low sal
aries in this profession mark the
weakest and absurdest policy.

The Late Tragedy in Arkansas.

In recent issue Of The BULLETIN,
there was letter published. which was
received by Mrs. Stewart, of Thcbes, in
forming her of the murder of her two
sons, by mob in Laconia, Arkansas. We
learn from Sheriff Irwin, who received n
letter from Laconia since the death of the
young men, that they We're
not killed by mob, but
came to their end In fight. Their
name was not Stewart, but Harris, their
mother having been married to gentle
man by the name of w. W. Stewart, who
lives in Thebes and who is well-known
in this city. Sheriff Irwin was person
ally acquainted with the unfortunate
young men. and represents them as very
quiet and law-ablding persons. He also
informs us that he received letter from
the elder Harris, some two weeks ago,
in which he expressed his intention of re-
turning to this county In Il short time.
