Gen. Stearns having announced his ;nten.
ton of canvassing the votes himself. the Dem.
ocrats have secured an order from the circuit
court restraining him from doing so, and also
an order directing the State board of canvass
ers to proceed with the count An appeal
from these orders can be taken to the supreme
court, and if this is done, the matter cannot
be decided, owing to the supreme court not
being in session, until after the first Wednes-
day in December, in which case both sides
will lose the vote Of Florida as it cannot be
cast after that date.
The muddle, however, seems likely to be
ended without, the aid Of the Court, for on the
18th, while the Judge had the matter under
advisement, the Secretary of State directed
the Board of Canvassers to assemble at noon
on the 9th and proceed with the canvass.
As in Louisiana the board will admit five
members Of each political party to witness the
count:

TIE DUPLICATE POLL LISTS.


Up to tho evening Of the 23d only 1b par

| in the State it will probably be a week or ten
days before the canvass is completed,
The time on the oath was entirely occupied
with the consideration Of the contested parish
OF East Baton Rouge but no conclusion was
| reached.
On the 25th there were no returns passed
upon but a number of contested parishes were
partially considered. An associated press
telegram reports the following episode on
that day:
The returns from De Soto parish were
brought in and were contained in one pack
age sealed with wax; When the seals were
broken by the members of the board there
were found inside the consolidated votes. the
commissioners statements and tally sheets.
Attached to the returns were large number
OF protests and afidavits.
The Secretary of the Board said it had been
received on the 18th instant and was entered
in his receipt book. The returns he SAID had
come by mail. In the course OF the inspec-
ton it was discovered that one OF the protests
OF the supervisors charging general intimida-
ton was dated November 25, and sworn to in
this city before a commissioner Of the Circuit
Court. When called on to explain how a pro-
test dated on the 18th instant could get into a
Sc sealed registered package received BY mail on
ceived two packages. He was detected by
one Of the Democratic counsel present in the
act Of making another entry in his book Of the
two packages received. After some delay an
other package was produced and foundto con
tain consolidated statement votes and
commissioners returns, but no protests or
a@davits. The members Of the board were
unable to explain the matter, and Senator
Sherman, OF the Republican visiting commit
tee, remarked that there was no use to dis
guise the fact that the returns had been
opened and protests inserted after the pack
ages of returns had been received. The affair
created quite sensation among the members
Of the committee present.

Spontaneous Origin of Rabies.

Some facts hardly of q reassuring
character relative to nbies in dogs have
been recorded Of late in England, and
the gravest is that the opinion is enter
tanned that rabies may be produced in
dog by the bite Of non-rabil animal
There has always been certain amount
OF doubt in regard to the disease in the
human being when the dog which i'll
Aicted the bite was shown not to have
been afflicted, but il We reason by an
alogy according to the facts deduced by
Mr.. G. Fleming, it seems possible that
q sound animal can bite another dog,
which latter dog may have in time all
the symptoms Of rabies, while the first
dog is free from the fearful taint. 4
case is brought in evidence where re-
triever, which had been carefully tied
up except when taken out for exercise,
was bitten by another dog. The first
dog in time showed the pendulous lower
inv, flowing saliva, vacant expression,
weak hind legs, and half unconscious
movements, while the dog which i'll.
Aicted the bite is now, according to the
authority OF the Lancet, nlivc aud we'll.
There can be no possible doubt that the
retriever was afflicted with rabies, be.
cause, having bitten other dogs, they
werc all attacked, and had to be killed,
and on their autopsy showed that all the
thoracic and abdominal yiscera were
healthy, but the membranes OF the
brain were congested, md the interior
lobes softened aud dhyper9mic. In New
York, some two years ago. public at.
tention was directly called to II case Of
rabies the origin Of which was traced to
an apparently healthy dog. The mat
ter, however, wants further solution.
II is probable that IN animal may have
rabies and recover from it, and might
propagate tho disease when unsound,
and we are still disinelined rs yet TO sup
port the opinion that rabies may arise
from the bite Of healthy dog.

In Scri6ncr for May, Charles Barnard
has paper on "Some Experiments in
Cooperation" in which he speaks as
follows Of the Springfield (Vt.) indus-
trial works, successful cooperative en-
terprise At the benches arc young men
and women i'll about equal numbers, dis.
tributcd according to tho demands Of
the work or their own ability. Precisely
rs in any mnuufactory, there is n regular
system Of work and perfect subdi-
vision OF labor. BY the peculiar method
of selection, each one hls the work that
the majority think he or she is best suit
ed to perform consistently with the best
interests OF the establishment. On going
through the various departments, one
cannot fail to notice the quiet aud order
TINT prevail. There is rigid adherence
TO business that is positively refreshing.
Persons familiar with working people
in mills aud shops can readily recall that
calmness OF manner, and ingenuity in
doing nothing with apparent energy
that characterize some Of the workers.
Not trace OF this can be seen in the i'll.
dustrial works.
The sun goes down, the lamps are
lighted, and tho work goes on without
pause. 1t is hammer, hammer, hammer,
with NIL the regularity and twice the
energy Of clock. The whirling shafts
spin steadily, the shavings fly from the
planners, the paint brushes slip along
quickly in nimble girl fingers. 1t is
work, work, work with n Jolly persist
eucc. The six o'clock bell rings. and
no one seems to discover it till the re-
luctant engineer turns of the water, and
the Gathering machinery runs slowly and
finally stops, rs il it also held shares in
the company.
We may join them Mt their liberal
table: forty or mote young men and
women in good health and tho best OF
spirits. They are well dressed, intelli.
gent, with manners self.respectful and
courteous. After supper some amuse
themselves with books, music, and
games, and some return to the shop for
extra work. AL are apparently content.
cd and happy, and all, without excep-
tion, arc making money at rate seldom
equalcd by people in their position.

Mans Microscopic Enemies.

A recently published paper by Pro
fessor L. N. Piper says: The name
"trichiua spiralis" comes from two
Greek words, signifying hair and curlel,
alluding to the hair.like form Of the ani
NAL aud the curled position which it as
sumes in the cells in which it is found in
the muscular system. The male worm
measures only the one.twentieth OF On
inch in length. The female is little
longer. It was discovered by Professor
Owen in q portion OF human muscle
sent to him from st. Bartholomew
hospital in 1884.
In few hours after tho diseased meat
is taken into the stomach, trichina
separated from it aro found free in that
organ. Thence they pass into the
duodenum, aud aiterward into the small
intestine, where they are developed. On
the third or fourth day eggs arc dis
covered, these eggs being alive, M We
have found to bo the case in other
analogous larvn OF which We have speci.
mems. From the intestines and other
cavities where the young are first pro.
duced they penetrate into the substance
of the muscles, where sometimes as early
MS three days after the diseased meat is
taken into tho stomach they may bo
found in considerable numbers, and so
fur developed that the young entozoa
have almost attained n size equal to TINT
of the full grown trichina. They pro-
gressively advance into the interior Of
the small bundles OF muscular fiber,
where they may be often seen several in
q Gle, one after the other. Behind them
the muscular tissue becomes atrophied,
that is, hardened, and around them m
irritation is set up which ends in pro-
ducing a cyst in about two weeks. Thus
it will be seen that the whole muscular
system is filed with parasites, each one
tho central point OF inflammation, and OF
course Of terrible suffering, until the
friendly hand of death closes tho scene.
These cases, we think, must be moro
frequent than is generally supposed,
from our having 80 many brought to our
notice within q short time, md this fact
would be a good reason for giving mp
swine's flesh as M article Of food. But
there is q sure preventive for all this.
Thorough cooking will render pork abso-
lutely FREQ from any injurious effects in
this direction.
II we give up swine's flesh for tho rea.
son that it contains entozoa We shall be
obliged for the same reason to discard
all animal food. One Of the same family

sickness among the Egyptians is Of fire.
quent occurrence amoDg cattle, sheep
aud horses, the hare, the rabbit, etc.
Another species is found in the liver Of
the salmon, in the alimentary canal OF
the pike and perch, and also many
species iniest the feathered tribes.
We ought perhaps to say that al.
though the careful smoking OF pork is
said to kill the trichina, it is never safe,
in our opinion, to cat pork which is not
thoroughly cooked.

The Spring Fashions.

Tho tint known as creme is at its
height.
Gauze is much used for bonnets.
Turbans are again in style.
Cbildreu's fashions vary but little in
cut.
IN bonncts the capoto shapo is in great
.avor.
The English Derby is fayorite
among hats.
Cashmere is largely used for children's
costumes, because it cleans admirably.
White laces are no longer in vogue.
Even the richest laces are tiuged with
yellow.
A novelty in shoes is seen in boots
with high tips at the back and laced in
front.
Small buttons are moro and more used
for trimming.
In all dress materials stripes have su-
perseded checks.
let is not abandoned, but is used with
more discretion than last year.
The diagonal shaped overskirt appears
to be most popular.
Buttons are small, anil often covered
with the same material as the dress.
Sleeves for general wear are very close
TO the wrist, showing some dressy style
OF cuff.
Bows OF silk, ribbon, Or the material
OF the costume, are freely used.
Sailor hats and turbans will be much
worn by school girls this season.
Many Of the stripes on the newest
dresses are shaded tone upon tone, and
are from an inch to half inch wide.
Wide gros grain ribbon sashes are
worn tied low around the hips, and are
fastened behind in largo bow.
Fashionable celebrities in Paris have
introduced the wearing OF the Greek
costume for evening dress.
Late openings show dresses with full
fan trains and skirts clinging to the
form, tied back and without bustles.
Laccs arc generally laid on without
fulling, as the present style OF dress re-
luires fiat trimmings.
The cuirass bodice is changing in
character while still long and simply
shaped, its fullness is relieved with
abundance OF trimming.
Shoulder seams are made very short
and high, and the long side pieces con-
time in favor.
The newest ruches for the inside Of
bonnets are composed OF double point
OF cream lace, with small flower at the
side.

Disease Germs.

Mothers know too well, says Prof.
Samuel Lockwood, what is meant by the
word "thrush" or "sprow,' that mouth
malady too common with little children.
To the profession it is known as m
aphthous liberation OF the tongue
aphtha being the name Of the disease,
and signiiying burning. The tongue
ais swollen, tender and furred." There
are eIcoriated spots, sometimes true
ulcers, varying in size, perhaps, from
that OF pins head to that Of half pea,
and these are severally capped with q
white, curd-like mass. However dimin-
utive these pustules may be. they are in
truth hummocks Of tiny plants, for each
one contains many thousands OF parasitic
fungi, often called toru'a. These fungi
attach themselves to the mucous men,
brane, and burrow among the epithelial
cells. They are composed OF threads
matted together like felt" whose basal
ends interwine among the epithClia, like
hair in the prepared mortar Of the plas-
terer. At o recent meeting OF the acad-
emy OF natural sciences, Professor Leily
exhibited o mouse with little curdy
patches on his ears, face and nose. The
query was: "What allied the little fel-
low, and whero had he teeni" The
microscope showed that the white spots
were colonies Of parasitic fungus and,
strange to tell, they were rs much like
tho thrush fungus as one pea is like its
fellow in the same pod. The truth told,
Mousie was captured in the children's
department OF Blockley hospital, where
he had picked up the crumbs that had
fallen from tho mouth OF a child patient.
Tho diagnosis now seemed natural and
direct. Mousie had been and got it
namely, the thrush-and, strange to say,
he had got it bad, for it was on his ears
and nose and face. Soon, in all proba-
bility, il would have entered the mouth,
evon il it had not already. A minute
portion OF ono of these white spots was
subjected by skilled hands to lers Of
very high power, and 10 there were the
morbid parasites, tiny sporular bodies,
some single, some double, and others
"in chains OF dozen or more" The
fungus was pronounced to be q torrlla or
oidium, like that found in the disease
known rs thrush or aphtha. A drawing
Of it would simply be like n number Of
elongated beads strung together. But
how diminutive these beads or cells
werc A single one was the 1.650 OF n
line in length, that is, it would take
1900 Of them in line to make IN inch.

Lavish Generosity.

Touching tho lavish generosity OF
Orientals, the following incident is re.
lAted OF the khedive. A certain NJ.
Bavray obtained from the kheIive 4
Egypt q grant Of land on which to build
q house. When tho building was
finished, he invited the khedivs TO come
aud sec it aud the latter, delighted,
asked: "How much did il cost ?"
Fifty thousand pounds" was the
reply.
"Here arc sixty thousand pounds, u
said the khedive :" let me buy it."
The offer was accepted, and NJ.
Bavray was commissioned to flt it up
mud furnish it, which he did ut the cost
OF some one hundred md twenty thou
sand pounds. When all was finished,
N. Bavray went to SEQ tho khedive,
taking his little son with him. The
khe live approached the child to kiss
him, but the boy ran away, crying ont
"No, no. Mamma says you are {
naughty maui"
"Whyi' exclaimed the astonishei
khedive.
Because you have taken our countr,
house," Sobbed tho child.
NJ. Bavray, OF course, apologized, sut
scolded the child nut, on taking leave
tho khedive wrote a few lines on /
piece Of paper aud gave it to tho chill,
for his mother, saying: "You can kisI
me now, little man I am no longe
naughty"
The pieco Of paper was deed Of gii

The Dunkers.

A correspondent, writing Of tho Dun,
kers, says that they retain their Quaker.
like garb, anil the men wear long hair
and full boards, objecting to the wear,
ing OF mustaches alone. The men kiss
when they meet, though it is thought oi
abolishing this custom.
The semi-annual love feasts are fa,
vorite resort OF young pleasure seekers,
not only when held in barns, but at the
churches OF to-day, md the crowds
greatly annoy tho humble brethren.
Their charity is proverbial, and their
homes arc well known to professional
tramps. They help each other, and
poverty is unknown among them.
A bright illustration OF their practical
application OF tho precept, "Bear one
auothers burdens" was given last year.
A barn belonging to ono OF tho frater-
nifty was destroyed by fire. Following
the disaster u meeting OF tho church
members was held, the loss was esti-
mated, aud tho full amount paid over to
the sufferer by his sympathiziug broth
ers.
The sect known rs tho Seventh Day
Baptists is seeding branch OF the
Dunkers, though now weak in compari-
son. Yet they have strength enough to
cause tho serious discussion Of propo-
sition before tho Pennsylvania Legisla.
ture to permit them to work on Sunday
because OF their observance Of Satur-
day.
These religionists have monastic insti-
tutions in Lancaster and franklin corn-
ties, in which maids and bachelors,
widows and widowers, and even separ-
ated wives and husbands cloister them
selves. They have an interesting his
toric reputation for charity and kind
deeds during the Revolutionary and
other war times, and also claim the
honor Of keeping up tho first Sabbath
school successfully years before they
were introduced in London.
Tho annual conventions OF the Dun
kers, commonly called the big meetings,
which take place in Whitsun week every
year, are very largely attended by mem
bers from all parts Of the country. The
largo expense incurred by these gather
ings seem to many OF the fraternity to
necessitate their abolition, and it is
urged that tho money be devoted to the
education Of the rising generations and
the colonization OF the Mcnnonites, for
whose persecution in Russia they have
brotherly sympathy.

Full Of System.

Peter Cooper in speaking OF the late
A. Il. Stewards system in his establish.
mcnts, and tho strict discipline he ex.
acted Of his employees, said: Once l
met Mr.. Stewart in his uptown store,
and while conversing with him about
the magnitude Of his business he took
me by the arm, aud, pointing at the
great arrny of statesmen, cash boys and
portcrs, ho asked me il they did not
display an evidence Of thorough train
ing and an intelligent acquaintance with
the peculiarities Of human nature. ],
Of course, asscnted. "And yet" said
