When we compare our military es-
adjustment with that of Russia, we
need not despair of the Republic. Not
even in the rebellion did we ever have
as many in the field as Russia has in
her peace armament.

A STARTLING THEORY. - A German
physician has lately started the theory
that the fearful disease known as small~
pox originates from an excess OF albu'
minous matter in the blood. and that
this is to be prevented by the adminis-
tration of common table salt. The
habit of children irdulgins too freely
in sweetmeats be considers one great
cause of undue development of albu-
men; and coffee and tea, if highly su-
CARED, tend to develop it in adults. An
organic acid, such as lemon juice. he
considers the best means of freeing the
blood, when clotted with too much ais
bumen, and be alleges that by taking
these remedies in the way of precaution,
he has. for upwards of ten years past,
frequented or taken up his abode in the
most pestilential smallpox hospitals of
Europe and South America with entire
impunity.

It will be noticed that the Rail
road has madea reduction ON down
ward freight, placing it at the fig
ure charged one year ago. The re-
duction will be gratifying to farm
ers who are now selling their wheat
at less than the cost of production.
1t is possible that this reduction
may impose a temporary loss upon
the railroad management, but we
belieye that in the long run it will
pay, and be the means of stimula-
ting production. The "nimble six
pence is better THAI the slow shill-
ing" and so it has been found in
Railroads that low prices and II large
business pays better than exorbi-
tant rates and very little to do.-W.

Another race conflict is reported from
the South, this one occurring in Texas.
Two negroes were killed. and the ex-
cited blacts in the vicinity, it is said,
gathered for vengeance, when two more
negroes were killed. The reason as
signed for the murders is that the ne
groes were cattle thieves, but a county
must be lawless indeed where cattle
thieves are punished by assassination.

simple. He talked well and not
much, and some of his remarks had
great beauty as well as great truth
and originality; now and then he
showed striking eagerness in man.
ncr, which contrasted strongly with
his usual modcsty and reserve. On
the whole, think he justified his rep
utation as man of genius and as
one ofthc first men now at Cambridge,
where he IS Professor of Modern
History"
1t is this Englishman who, at the
close of his last lecture upon the
American war, says of Washington.
+" Whatever was the difficulty, the
trial, the temptation, or the danger,
there stood the soldier and the citizen,
eternally the same, without fear and
without reproach; and there was the
man who was not only at all times
virtuous, but at all times wise. The
merit of Washington by no means
ceases with his campaigns; it be-
comes after the peace of 1888 even
more striking than before; for the
same man who for the sake of liberty
was ardent enough to resist the
power of Great Britain and hazard
every thing on this side the grave, at
later period had to be temperate
enough to resist the same spirit of
liberty when it was mistaking its
proper objects and transgressing its
appointed limits. The American
Revolution was to approach him, and
he was to klndle the general flame;
the French Revolution was to reach
him, and consume but too many of
his countrymen; and his own ethereal
mould, incapable Of stain, was to
purge off the baser fire victorious!
But all this was done; he might have
been pardoned though he had failed
amidst the enthusiasm of those around
him, and when liberty was the delu-
sion; but the foundations of the moral
world were shaken, and not the un-
derstanding of Washington" This,
surely, is the character to contem-
plate and to desire in the great year
that is passing. These are words
that might be craven in gold over
the portal of Mount Vernon.

In addition to the 100 buildings
within the Centennial grounds, there
are others bringing the numb,r up to
about 260. Perhaps 60 of these are
small structures, but all are neat and
highly creditable. OF the remainder,
none have cost less than $4,000,
while others have required enormous
sums, as from 100000 to 81, 100000
each. The following States have
erected fine buildings, at an average
cost of about $4,000: Tennessee,
New York, Mississippi, Delaware,
Connecticut, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio,
Kansas, with Colorado; Massachu-
sets, New Hampshire, Wisconsin,
Indiana, New Jersey and Pennsylva-
MIA. The cosmic character of the
Exhibition may be gathered from a
glance at the list of nations that are
exhibitors--Argentine Confederation,
Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada,
Chill, China, Denmark, Egypt,
France, Germany, Great Britain,
Hawaii Sandwich islands,, Italy,
Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway,
Luxemberg, Russia, Orange Free
States (Africa), Peru, Portugal, Swift
zerland, Spain, Sweden, Tunis, Tur-
key, United States Of Columbia,
and Venezuela. The products and
especially the people of these lands,
are attracting the greatest attention.

Many inspiring words will this
year be spoken of Washington, but
none finer, truer, more reverent, more
satisfactory, than those which an
Englishman uttered of him thirteen
years after his death. TWAS William
Smyth, Professor of Modern History
at English Cambridge. His lectures
are well known, but in the Life Of
George TTchmor, lately published,
thereis some personal account of him
which will be new to most of those
who are familiar with his delightful
book. Mr.. Ticknor saw hm at n
breakfast at Rogers, the poet, in
1885. He had met him few even
lngs before at concert at the Mar
quis of Lansdowne's, and says of him:
"His singular appearance attracted
my notice there at first. Tall and
somewhat awkward, dressed like a
marquis de Pdncien regime, and
looking like one, with his ear-locks
combed out and his hair powdered,
but still with an air of great careless
ness, he moved about in that brilliant
assembly, hardly spoken to by sin
gle person, with modest and quiet
air, as if he belonged not to it, and
yet, when there was q fine passage in
the music, seeming to enjoy it as if
he were all ear. This morning he
came in the same whimsical dress,
and had the same singular air. But
found it all entirely natural and
