MACMAHONS MANIFESTO.

President MacMahon has issued a mani.
festo to the French people, in which he
says that an election of members of the
Chamber of Deputies hostile to his Ad-
ministration would aggravate conflict
between the public powers. He tells
the people, in effect, that they must sub
NIT TO him or they will get into trouble.
This manifesto has created in France an
immense sensation. Bonapartist and
clerical papers applaud it as declaration
of no surrender.
lie Temps, which so far is the most out
spoken of the Republican papers, de-
clares the manifesto unprecedented.
The people look upon President Mac
Mahons manifesto as only an electoral
article, designed to brighten timid cleo
tors into supporting official candidates
and encourage functionaries to exert
pressure, but, relying ON the honor of
the Marshal, they are convinced that
when France has declared her firm will
he will submit, and not enter into an
open conflict with the Nation or make a
coup detat.
The Republican papers, however,
treat the manifesto in very serious
tone.
La France says that this is the lam
guage of the manifesto of Napoleon coun-
tersigned by Persigny. None of Europe's
present constitutional sovereigns. have
the exorbitant presumption to impose
their will on the people and forbid them
to take different view.
lie Temps says France is called to a
new and supreme struggle for the main
tenance of her liberty.

Accident Incidents.

Miss Jennie Frost, of Council Bluffs,
Iowa, who had marvellous escape from
the train that was wrecked on the Rock
Island Railroad, relates that one woman
heroically rescued her six children and
then went to the aid of the sufferers, while
another lady was terribly exercised over
the loss of her satchel, and could think of
nothing else. One lady, who was in agony
from broken wrist and compound
fracture of one of her legs, would not
consent to have morphine injected into
her arm because she feared it might hurt
her. Another lady who was severely in
jured was offered glass of brandy, but
refused to swallow it, stating that she
was strict temperance woman and
meant to stand by her principles, even if
she died in the attempt. A little child
chung to a window-sill and kept her head
above the surging waters until she was
saved. A little girl lay for four hours with
only her face out of water, the corpse of a
large man being stretced across her little
body. 1t was supposed that she, too,
was dead, but man who was " chopping
out" the wounded thought he saw the lit
tie ones lips tremble. She was taken out,
covered with blood, her little stockings
as red as if they had been dyed, and in
few hours she was as lively as cricket,
asking if anybody had seen her doll.

A New View Of CONSUMPTION.

The President of the Board of Health
of Colorado, in his annual report, makes
the suggestion that phthisis properly
belongs to the "filth diseases" and can
be controlled and prevented by attention
to cleanliness. His argument is that
tubercle is inoculable, and may enter
the body through contaminated drink
ing-water, peculiarly infected atmos-
phere, or otherwise. In Colorado phthisis
was unknown until cases from other
States brought it there; now it is found
among the native population, and may
be termed physical vice Of civilization.
1t is the same with the different health
resorts of Europe. Consumptiyes focked
to MADEIRA, Naples, Malta, along the
2iviere and Upper Nile-where Rachel
passed some months Of her life-and were
restored by the simple disinfection Of
the air. That has gone by, and the
disease has become common with the
natives. The practical lesson is, says the
Journal of Chemistry, that equal care
about disinfection and sanitation should
be exercised in regard to consumption
as in regard to typhoid or scarlet fever

Paris Letter to New York world.l

Paris Letter to New York World.J
Though still young Gambetta has
grown gray and is rather stout. He has
fine features. The nose is too prominent,
perhaps, but the face expresses determi-
nation and power, and is at the same time
a pleasant one. In his youth he lost an
eye by accident, which misfortune,
although not SO apparent as to render
his face unpleasant, is the theme which
the refined editor Of the Figaro loves to
dwell upon. The waving hair is thrown
back over the broad brow and the head
is very erect; there is humor in the curl
of the lips, and when Gambetta smiles
he is certainly very attractive man.
When aroused the face qlows with color
and he seems the very incarnation of
strife. He is, like most men of the
South, gifted with an ardent imagina-
ton, and his eloquencc is inspiring. He
resides at present in a well-appointed
building part of which serves as the
office Of the Republique Francaisc Having
the means to do so, M. Gambetta lives
in good style, and entertains at this
mansion-a fact which seems to offend
the writer's of the Figaro, Gaulois. Pays,
etc. They cannot accept chat the leader
of the Republican party should live and
act as gentleman-
M. Gambetta is an ardent admirer Of
our country and institutions. He meets
Americans with ready favor, and betrays
desire to learn all that is going on
politically and socially on our side Of
the ocean.

An Eccentric Fig Tree.

A correspondent of the Santa Barbara
(Cal.) Press says: Much has been writ
ten about the curious freaks of nature
this season in South California, particu-
larly with fruit trees, but | think fig
tree in my garden caps the climax for
eccentricity. This tree is of the white
SMYRNA variety. The first crop ripened
in June. The fruit was white-skinned
and very large and most excellent, a
specimen of which / sent you. Now
comes the funny part of the story. This
same tree put forth a very full second
crop, and the figs are ripe now, and have
been for two weeks past, and are ripen-
ing every day, but the fruit is blue.
Who can account for this caper? There
are two different and distinct varieties Of
fruit on the same tree in successive
crops the same season. The first crop
were all white; the second crop are all
blue.

The Present Pope's Election.

1t was only by mishap, says Mac
mitlda's Magdzine, that Cardinal Mastia
Ferretti obtained the triple crown at ALL
The popular candidate was Cardinal
Gizzi and the most powerful man in the
college itself was Cardinal Lambrus-
chini. Mastai Ferretti was only one of
crowd, and in the first ballot he hardly
seemed to be running. Lambrus-
chini had the biggest number of votes,
and everything seemed to mark him out
as the future pope. But there's many
slip 'twixt the cup and the lip, even in
conclave; and the Italians have a
proverb that, in these contests, the
favorite never wins. He did not in this
case. In the second and third ballot
Mastai Ferretti came more to the front
Gizzi disappeared from the list, and
Lambruschini fell hopelessly in the rear
But if Lambruschini could only have
kept open the conclave a few hours
longer he might have displaced his rival,
and perhaps have placed the tiara upon
his own brow, or, if not there, might at
least have placed it on the brow of his
friend Franzoni; for Mastai Ferretti
was in bad odor with the court of
"A uStIld OH dCCOuHb VI LID oy hPdphy WIN
the national party of Italy, and when
the ballot that made him pope was
taken the Austrian Plenipotentiary was
on it way back from Vienna with a vote
in his pocket against the Archbishop of
Imola, and with cardinals enough in his
train to turn the scale in favor of the
Genoese cardinal. The veto arrived too
late, and the tagging cardinals entered
the Holy City the day after the fair,
found the Romans shouting ciUas in
honor of sovereign whose name they
hardly knew how to pronounce. The
telegraph and the railway have put an
end to all risk OF anything of this kind
happening again; for Rome is now
within speaking distances of Vienna,
Paris, Berlin, London; and, unless the
conclave sits, as it is said it will sit,
within twenty-four hours of the pope's
death, and, under a dispensing bull,
elect his successor in present. cadacere,
there will be time between the anounce-
ment of the pope's death and the day
usually fixed for the holding of the
conclave for all the cardinals of Europe
reach Rome and to give their votes.

Advertising.

The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
says: There is nothing like advertising.
A farmer of Michigan was mentioned in
the Detroit Free Press as having taken
the best clip of WOOL A Mrs. Walker, of
England, noticed the mention and
writes to the Free Press, ~ think it is
an appropriate time to ask him to remem-
Der the wife that he left in England over
twenty-four years ago, for she has re-
ceived only one sovereign from him dur
ing the whole of that time. ! will not
ask him for any particular amount, but
will leave him to consult his conscience
about that. Any person whomay be de-
sirous to know his whole character may
have it from his wife," Now if the
farmer hadn't advertised he might have
remained iii ignorance of the fact that
his wife in England still lives.

MORGANTOWN VIVA SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1877

in his letter of people eating the seeds of
the bamboo and tamarind, and the leaves
of various forest trees baited with little
salt and eaten with coarse bread, three
parts of which are dust and chaff In
some of the towns, says the correspon-
dent, the poor people lick the patrara-
lees, the leaves from which others have
eaten their food, devour mango peels
and the rotten fruits cast into the gutter,
and dispute the garbage of the city with
its dogs.

In the annual statement of the financial
condition of Italy for 1876, it appears
that sixty-nine millions of lire were in
vested in lottery tickets in the Govern
ment cash boxes. Of course but small
proportion of this money went back to
the successful gamblers. Since 1863 the
State has received eight hundred and
eighty-one millions from this source and
returned in prizes five hundred and
sixteen millions and a half, pocketing
profit in fourteen years three hundred
and sixty-fve millions.
