Funerals as Observation-Disclosures.
From the Lancet.I

From the Lancet. .s. .
There is good reason to believe that dis
ease is occasionally disseminated through
the medium OF funerals. We have at least
one fairly authenticated instance in this
country of diphtheria being difused broad
cast through the crowding incidental, occa-
sonaIly, to the last ceremony. In
America this question is beginning
to receive much attention, and seve-
raj cases have been reported OF late
where the transmission OF the disease
from the corpse seemed highly probable.
The Suffolk District Medical Society sent
out four hundred circulars to medical prac-
titioners with view to ascertain the opin-
ion Of the profession on the alleged danger
Of permitting public funerals OF persons
who had died from diphtheria. Two hun
dred and thirty-nine answers were received.
or these one hundred and forty-three
writers express belief in the possible dan
ger of contagion at such funerals; seven
teen believe that there is danger from
funerals in the houses Of the dead, but
none in churches; twenty-nine fancy that
in the present state OF knowledge there is
no justification in prohibiting public fune-
rails; and eight record circumstances which
occurred in their own experience conhrma-
tory Of the proposition that peril may en-
sue, but the testimony these latter advance
is not quite satisfactory. The Society, after
due consideration, recommend that fune-
rails at the houses of those who have died
Of diphtheria should be private, owing to
possible exposure to the poison OF the dis
ease.

The Vienna correspondent OF the Times,
in its issue Of Wednesday, thinks it worthy
OF record that there has been o reyulslon OF
feeling in Russia in favor OF a more pac,hc
policy, while another correspondent OF the
same paper, writing from Constantlnople,
cannot imagine why conference should
have been called when Turks OF the Med
hat Pasha school and Russians have taken
such definite and exactly opposite positions
that it seems difficult for England or otner
Powers either to bring about an agreement
or to avoid being involved in a.quarrel.
Last April pair Of young horses ran
away in Green, Rhode Island, with the
neck-yoke hanging between them: NO one
could find them. The other day their skeie-
tons were found in wood seven niles
from where they started. The bones, mar
ness, and neck-yoke showed that they were
caught fast in the brush, and had starved
after eating everything within their reach.
Dir. shuttlewortb, who engaged to ride
from st. Petersburgh to Calais on q Yeioci-
pede, at last accounts had passed through
Berlin en- route for Cologne. Eye-witnesses
assert that he seemed but little exhausted,
although over two thirds of the self-imposed
journey were accomplished. i II.

The MOZART MUsICALE.-Though not
near so large as on last week, there was q
fine audience present last evening on the
occasion Of the twenty-ninth musicale Of
the Mozart Association. Many, no doubt,
who were desirous OF being present, were
deferred by the threatening weather in the
evening. The programme was short,
but. as usual, there was great taste displayed
in it's selection. With each entertainment
our people are more and more impressed
with the liberal amount OF musical talent
our city possesses, for almost every week
there is brought forward some new and
pleasing feature OF which they were
totally unaware. This was very notice
able last evening in the appear
.ance Of Miss Wyatt. This young lady
possesses pure and rich soprano voice OF
fine compass. In the duet, "Mighty Love
Enthralls Me-" between herself and brother
Mr.. Henry Wyatt), she at once ingratiated
herself with her audience, as the hearty ap-
plause at its conclusion well attested. Her
solo, "Our Faith Then Fondly Phghting,"
by Donizetti, was admirably gwen; and
Miss Wyatt will be cordially greeted when
ever she appears before Richmond au-
dience.
Too much cannot be said in praise Of the
VI uls JULIUS SlSAcs l4Ao ASIA
dition OF Singelie's violin solo from " La
File de Regiment" was truly artistic, and
given with an ease and precision wonderful
for SO young an artist, and which would have
been creditable to an older professional. The
fact that he had had no rehearsal OF the piece
before he appeared on the stage will scarcely
be accredited by those who heard him, for
it may be safely said his playing was fault
less. His success, no doubt, was due in
great measure to the careful and finished
accompaniment OF Mr.. Jacob Reinhardt.
The trio for violin. yiolincello, and piano,
by Reisiger, given by Mr.. Peters and Pro-
fessors Thilow and Reinbardt, was very
fine, as was,also the piano duo by Profess
sors Thilow and Reinhardt. The perfect
accord and beautiful accentuation IN the
latter was very marked. The orchestra was
not 40 full as usual, but gave some new
pieces in admirable style. In word, the
whole performance was On agreeable and
successful affair.

his foot ouer upon forfeit Of his life, DC. !,
These and other preliminaffes arranged,
we set out for Alton In order to pass over to
Missouri, on the opposite side Of the Mis-
sissippi river-the place appointed for the
fatal encounter. NV father and myself
both accompanied Lincoln and Merryman
to the scene Of action-he to see the fun,
and to see that there was no fight Ny
prediction was fulfilled. Shields would
not, or at least he did not, fight with broad
swords.
Lincoln had put down bis foot for broad
swords. and nothing could shake his pur-
pose. General. Ewing, the friend Of Gene
raj Shields, cursed and swore, and carried
on at great rate, about 'Fthe id barbar-
Gus practice OF fighting with broadswords
In the nineteenth century" Mr.. Lincoln
very coolly and calmly replied that for his
part he thought fighting duels in any way a
rather barbarous practice for the nineteenth
century, and il he had to fight he would
choose his own weapons. The more Gene
raj Ewing insisted on rifles or pistols the
more Mr.. Lincoln held on to broadswords
and there was another g deadlock" But
it did not last over an hour or two. General
Shields was finally induced by his friends
to withdraw his challenge; Mr.. Lincoln
explained the offensive matter 10 the
only letter written by himself, and the
great trouble about the pin was "set.
tied honorably to both parties" The
second Of Mr.. Shields had declared,
before the choice of broadswords
that he would as soon think of asking Mr.
Shields to butt his brains out against q
brick wall as to withdraw that paper "-the
challenge-but yet, after all, this son of
blood and thunder did withdraw that very
paper rather than expose his brains to the
long sword and the long arm Of Abraham
Lincoln. Yours, &C., A. T. BLEDsoE.

The CITY OF ST. LoUIs-VoTE FOR A
NEW CHARTER MANY IRREGULARITIES,
GROSS BLUNDERs, AND STARTLING FRAUDS.-
st. Louis, November 29.-The commits
sloners appointed by the Circuit Court to
recount the vote cast on the 22d OF August
last, at an election for and against what was
known as the scheme and charter-that is,
q scheme to separate the city from the coun-
ty, and new charter for the city-bave un-
earthed numerous irregularities and very
gross blunders by the Judges of the election,
and frauds of most startling character.
There seems to be no doubt that the scheme
and-charter proposition was carried by q
large majority of legally-cast votes, but the
frauds perpetrated in the interest OF the op-
position defeated it. AS an instance of the
frauds committed, William Kelly and Will
liam Roper, Judges OF election at the Gem
trail precinct of the Ninth ward, have made
depostions to the effect that they took bal
lots for the scheme and charter from the
ballot-box and substituted ballots against
that proposition; they also deposited bal
lots against the proposition: numbering and
crediting them to persons who did not vote
at all. They swear that perhaps not more
than 600 votes were cast at the poll, ma
iority of which were for the scheme and
charter, but they returned vote OF 81 for
and 1907 against the proposition.

NORTH CAROLINA FINANCEs.-The message
of the Governor of North Carolina makes
an exhibit OF the debt of the State, from
which it appears that the total on the 1st OF
October, 1876, including special-tax bonds,
was 81, ,S46, ,930.45, OF which over thirteen
millions consists OF unpaid interest. 1t is
further said: ...
"Nothing has yet been done under the
act passed by the last General Assembly TO
compromise the State debt. The amount of
our State bonds held by the few creditors
who signitied their willingness to accept the
proposed compromise was SO small that it
was not deemed advisable to incur the ex-
pense OF having new bonds prepared, and
of levying special tax upon all the taxable
property Of the State for. the purpose OF
paying the interest on such small amount.
It Is very important that we should COM
promise, commute, and settle the State
debt, so that our financial condition may be
better known both at home and abroad and
our public credit again. established on a
firm basis" ......-
