Then IA San Francisco policeman tcstiaes that
Cinnamon have told him how they laugh at the
thought of becoming Christians. There is much
other evidence Of like character. 1t n never

We fear that the Pope will not give much

We fear That the Pope viii not give much
study n the Methodist report which one u the
leading cergymen at the Baltimore Conference
said should he sent to him, in oiGcr that its
thunder tones might fall upon his ears, and
"Fim.r rack his empire. The Pope is a very old
man, and avery busy one. The routine Of his
daily duties at the Vatican does not leave him
much spare time for miscellaneous reading. and
1t would be hard for him TO comprehend the
obituary notices, church statistics, financial ex-
hibits. ecce sinstical appointments, and Centen-
ninl patriotism that appear In the Conference
report. The Rev. Col. GRANVILLE MOODY, VINO
grew excited over his desire that Plus TX.

matters, Is known out West rs the "0ghting
parson," and the denizens Of Cincinnati have the
happiness Of being able to enjoy his spoutaneo us

Light Promised.

Mr.. BLAINE, like prudent man OF busi-
meas, engaged in variety OF pursuits, but
principally bonds and stocks OF railroads
which received subsidies from Congress
during his period of service, Keeps an
assortment of certificates of character on
hand ready to he presented to the House,
when he has set up a case in his own inter-
est. His last experiment IN tins line has
not proved emlnently successful, rs the
sequel will probably show.
On Monday lac made u personal oXplana-
ton to the House i'll regard to his alleged
interest In the Kansas Pacific Railroad. and
in certain bonds Of that company, in an
swcr to publication which is believed to
have been made at his own suggestion, in
order to furnish an opportunity for this
statement and TO present himself before
the country in the new character Of injur-
ed innocence.
III IA schedule Of Kansas Pacific bonds
which had been distributed, the name of
"BLAISE, 10 appears. This schedule was
not intended for the public eye, but saw
the light of day in February, 1873, through
various correspondents in Washington.
who now represent that the matter was
made public on the authority OF Mr.. J. w.
KNowLToN, n young man of respectable
character and promise, then connected
with the Chicago Tribune, who died soon
after.
Mr.. BLAINE presented Mr. Know LToN in
the light OF a slanderer to the House, and
his father-in-law, the Hon. A. q. RIDDLE,
comes forward in n pungent card to the eX-
Speaker and tells him in the plalnest Eng
lish:
You assaulted the reputation ~ JANIS
WALCOrT KNOwLrON, then two years and half
IN his grave. Had he survived I'll to-day, YOU
would have remained silent, aud your JoE
sTEwARIs and MAcFARLANDs would have told
no talos. IL devOlves ON me To vindicate, as /
hest may. mis- memory from your assertions,
which shall do at an early day.
Mr.. RIDDLE has the means Of throwing
light on this dark subject, and II he keeps
his promise, there will he some interesting
railroad literature and Instructive lobby
memoirs before long. The interested par
ties sny IT was BLAINE's brother who got
the bonds, and not the member himself.
That brother is now n paymaster in the
army.
II is singularly unfortunate in all these
transactions of Mr.. BLAINE, that something
mysterious and suspicious invariably turns
up. When he put s3i,5oo in the Sioux City
bonds, the CoBURNs did it. In the LATHE
Rock and Fort Smith bonds, the names OF
Col. Tom Scorr and Others figure. And
now in the Kansas Pacific case 1t is JOHN
BLAINE and not jim BLAiNr, according to
his account. who had the bonds. We shall
soon know all about it. a brother is some
times very convenient for patriot i'll Con-

Among the Methodist bishops in attend
ance at the Baltimore Conference is the cee-
brated GIL HAVEN, who made q stir some
months ago by urging the Boston preachers Of
his denomination to pray that GRANT might get
a third term. GIL has sat in the Conference all
this week without ever broachpg the third term
question. Perhaps he has grown wiser since he
publicly brought IL out as a subject for prayer.
Perhaps he has ascertalned that the third term
prospects were not frightened through the
prayers that followed his appeal. But, by the
way. we never heard that the Methodist preach
ers Of Boston put his third-term petition into
their prayers. 1t was bishop who gave them
the advice, which they seem to have neglected.
We can't say bow the chances OF GRANT might
have been affected II they had followed It.

Some Legal Aspects OF Infections Dis
case.

case.
Carelessness in respect to infection is
one of the most blnmeworthy forms OF
human negligence Its prevalence is at
tested by the frequency with which per-
sons are reported for falling TO notify the
proper authorities of the outbreak of
smallpox in their houses. Their disin-
clnation to make public misfortune may
be natural, but is inexcusable whenever 1t
imperils the lives of others. We are glad
to see that the last volume of the Court of
Appeals reports contains n salutary lesson
bearing on this subject, in an opinion rem
dered In n case which arose in Brooklyn.
The defendant owned n tenement house
on Bushwick avenue The plaintiff want
cd rooms for herself and her three chill
dren. She applied 10 the landlord, who
showed her two apartments in the third
story of his house, and she agreed TO take
them. A week later, she moved in with
her family, and in tho course Of ten days
or so she fen i'll with the smallpox, and
was obliged 10 be carried TO the hospital.
On her recovery she sued the landlord for
damages saying that she contracted the
disease IN the rooms which she rented from
,
occupation. OF which fact the defendant
lad notice, but which he suppressed from
her; and that lie had neglected to disin-
feet ,hem.
The Judge who presided at the trial,
which took place IN the City Court Of
Brooklyn, instructed the jury that II n
landlord lets premises 10 n tenant, and
they are infected, ana hc knows it, it is his
duty TO let the tenant know H. The evil
dence tended TO show that about three
months previous TO the plaintiffs occupa-
ton Of the rooms, child had died Of
smallpox in one of them, and that an
other death from the same disease had oc-
CURED in the house shortly after the plain
tin came there. Though the landlord
denied any knowledge of the infected con-
dition of the premises, there was testimony
that he had been informed of it; and the
Court of Appeals held, not only that the
law was correctly stated in the charge OF
the Judge, but that he was right in leaving
| to the jury the question Of the defendant 5
knowledge. They found against the de-
PENDANT on this issue, ana gave the plain
tlT verdict of fifteen hundred dollars.
The judgment has new been affirmed.
1t is thus judicially establish ed by the
| decision OF our highest appellate court that
| q landlord who let's premises which lie
| knows 30 be infected, without notifying
| his tenant Of the fact, is pecuniarily liable
| TO the tenant If the infection is commune
| Gated. Self-interest is ordinarily sufficient
| to prevent such an net on the part Of a
proprietor, unless he is too Ignorant to
appreciate the true character of infec-
| tous disease. In such cases ignorance is
too pcrnicious to be permitted, and the OBJ
! legation 10 mako money compensation Is
only proper safeguard to the welfare of
the vast tenant communities in our great
| cities
Another legal aspect of infectious disease
| is presented 10y case recently decided in
| England, and one Of considerable interest
