Story ola Stormy Interview at
the White House.

A story of a sensational order,
vouched for, however, by men who
are worthy of all belief,
regarding Grant and Babcock, is in
active circulation. 1t is TO the eff
feet that, at an Interview with Bris-
tow and Pierrepont, the president
declared his purpose to 90 to St.
Louis and give his testomony in Bah
cock 5 favor. The interview assum-
ed a stormy aspect, and the presi-
dent took occasion to refer to Bris-
tow's prosecution of the whisky
ring in strong terms of disapproval,
concluding with the remark that he
understood perfectly that certain
parties near to him, while they were
pretending to be his friends, were
really his enemies, seeking to build
themselves up at his expense. The
presidents manner was unmistak-
ably pointed, ard secretary Bristow,
in establishment and dismay, turned
about and walked to a window, and
stood looking out for some moments
An interval of silence easued,
which was broken by PierIepont
who suggested in subdued tone
that he thought the president was
inclined to be hastv and severe in
his Judgment, to which Grant re
sponded in a loud, angry tone that
when he wished advice from his cab
met counselors as to his personal at
fairs he would ask them. The pres
sident has lost his calm impertubil-
ity and has fallen into an irritable
state, in which he becomes violent
and abusive, especially with refer
ence to the parties concerned in the
prosecution of the whisky ring.

TYPHOID FEVER.

Some facts were lately stated in
the CITIZEN touching the transmits
sion of typhoid fever. If the theory
deduced:from these fields by medi-
cal men is correct, it would be easy /
to drive this increasing scourage /
from the land Two are three sim
pie suggestions are now offered with /
but little hope. it must be confessed,
of their being regarded. In matters
Of hygiene, the general public will
not be instructed. The medical
profession is a chronic cassandra.
1t constantly warns Of danger, but
is not regarded until the ounce of
prevention it advised, has to be
turned into the pound of cure
fit is true as generally accepted
by the profession, that no case of.
typhoid fever can arise, unless from
disease germs Of excrementitiOus
origin in IA previous case, it is easy
to prevent the disease from spread
ing. Burying the objections under
the earth is simply providing means
for indefinite preservation and null
tiplication of the poison. Throw
ing upon the surface is perhaps as
bad. When the destructive acids
are not convenient. fire is always at
hand, and will make it certain that
that particular disease will have no
successor.
1t has been established By a num-
Der of observations, that as waters
rise typhoid fever diminishes. This
singular fact is thus explained T:
Water is the channel through which
the poison germs generally enter
thesystem. As the water increases,
the probability of the presence OF
noxious element in any given bulk
of the fluid is. diminished. This
suggests the care which ought to be
exercised especially in dry weather
in using water from suspected To-
ealities.
Lastly, those who wash the clothes
of typhoid patients are especially
liable to the disease. This indi-
Gates that the poison germ finds in
clothing conditions favorable fol-
its production or preservation. The
extraordinary and filthy habit-ex-
traordinary because so many re
fined people practice what is gener.
ally regarded as a fourth class
abomination-of having one sheet
on the bed-has probably something
to do with the spread of the disease.
Ladies who justly pride them
/. selves upon their housekeeping
exquisite IN all things but this one
respect, have little idea Of the loath-
some smell which q little warmth
develops from tIst part of the bed
clothes which are breathed on. The
solid calculations from the breath
condense and afford enough putre
flying animal matter to help on any
disease.
1t is felt that an apology is need
ed for bringing professional mat
ters before the public. 1t is offered
to the profession, many Of whom
will entirely dissent from the views
presented, with the suggestion that
however false the theory may an
pear, The practical conclusion of in
creased caution and of that cleanli-
ness which is next to Goodness, can
do no harm. 1t is, perhaps, also
right to say that the terrible treat
ment by cold bath and quinine, tc
which testing allusion was made, is
revolutiOnizing the whole treatment
in the New York hospitals. and is
! found to be as successful there as
over the water. Y.

Jno. Bateman Smith writes from
Washington to his paper, the Fay
etteville Express, that everything in
Washington reminds him of home.
The White House reminds him of
the Fayetteville Presbyterian
Church, the Capitol, Of the Fayette-
vile courthouse, the gorgeous bri
dial chamber of the Arlington House,
of his own private bed-chamber at
home, the government printing of
fee, of the Express office, etc. Hear
him:

calty on the shoulder.

Smith says that the reports of
Speaker Kerr's i'll health are seem
ingly unfounded, and that his per
sonal appearance indicates that he
will have strength, and to spare, to
sustain the labors of the session.
He saws that Hon. Jno. NJ. Bright
is instituting a rigid scrutiny into
the affairs of the Treasury Depart
ment, and that he has collected con
siderable proofs OF culpable irregu-
larities among the officials which
will be sifted and in due time made
public. Smith itterates the views
Of Mr Bright, we presume, upon the
/ Centennial appropriation, which he
denounoes as a grab. We diGeI
with him totally in this view OF il
and believe that Mr.. Bright pHrsued
an unwise course in opposing it.
