In the summer of 1870 DIR. Henry A.
Martin, of Boston, having procured
lymph from Beaugency, vaccinated the
first heifer ever treated in this country
with that virus. DR.. Frank P. Foster
followed with similar experiments, and
in November, 1872, Dr. E. L. Griffin, of
Fond du Lac, Wis, President of the
State Board of Health, opened stable
for the same purpose, and it is from this
source that the Chicago Board of Health
is now being supplied with an average
of 500 "points" per day. In the stables,
which are in all details exquisitey clean
and well-appointed, no less then seven
animals are at present undergoing treat
ment. The animals used are, of course,
all females, and range in age from four
months to two years, DR.. Griffin in this
respect differing somewhat from his
brethren in the East, who only use young
calves for the purpose. They are vac
cinated direct, one being always under
treatment even when the demand for
points is light, as it is at some seasons.
The hair having been shaved off from the
upper part of the thighs, the vaccination
is made as in the human subject, except
that the number of incisions is consider
ably greater On the seventh or eighth
day the vescicles are ready for opening,
and where fair success attends the opera
ton thousand or more points can be
charged from the one animal The
points are of ivory, prepared in Connect
lcut, and 1t has been found that these
furnish the best means of transmission.
Great care is taker of the animals during
their sickness, particular attention being
paid to the diet, which consists princi-
pally of hay, bran-mashes and other
light food. The only departure from the
normal conditions, so far as observed, is
slight increase in the animal tempera-
ture, which ranges perhaps s per cent.
above the average. No i'll effects are
sustained by the heifers, which can only
be utilized once, subsequent vaccinations
uniformly failing to "take." There are
only three or four Of these vaccine de-
pots" in this country, but, as each one
can turn out during the year an almost
unlimited supply of "points," there is
reason to hope that within short time
nothing but bovine virus, or such as has
only gone through one or two human
subjects, will be used The medical pro-
fession consider that couple OF trans
missions render the lymph better, if any
thing, than that taken direct.-Chicaq0

PrecOcity by the Sea.

A correspondent writing from Long

morning at six o'clock breakfast A little
chap, about eight years of age, climbed in
to chair at the table where was slipping
my matutinal coffee, and, with the free
dom of childhood, said, as he rubbed his

him anxiously, "How often have you been

with his hands: Give years this season

baby was absolutely 6Lase at eight years
old. He got his coffee, and mamma sailed

Fatal Railroad Accident.
ONE HUNDRED LIVES LOST.

CLEVELAND, Dec. 3l.-The following
is the latest from the wreck at Ashtabula.
The haggard dawn which drove the
dreary darkness out of this valley and
shadow of death, seldom SAW IA ghastlcr
sight than was revealed with the com.
ing of morning. On either side of the
ravine frowntd the dark and bare arches
from which the treacherOus timbcrs had
fallen, while mt their base the great
heaps of ruins covered the hundred
women and children who had so sud.
denly been called into the presence Of
their Creator The charrcd bodies lay
On the thick ice, or bedded in the shnl.
low water OF the stream. The fires
shoulder IN great heaps where many Of
the hapless victims had been entirely
consumed while men went rushing
about in great excitement, seeking for
traces OF lost ones among the wounded
or dead. The sad task remains of dis
covering who may he among the dead.
This task will be the most difficult of
all, until the continued absence of here
or there friends, which will allow of but
one explanation, that being that he took
the fatal leap. All witnesses, so tar,
agree as tn the main facts of the accident,
that suddenly, and without warning, the
train plunged into the abyss, the for,
ward locomotive alone getting across in
safety. Almost instantly the lamps and
stoves set fire to the cars, and mary who
were doubtless only stunned, and who
might otherwise have been saved, fell
victims to the merclless flames.
RUTLAND, VT, Dec. 30.-There were

LATEST DISPATCHES.

New YORK, Jan. 3.-The TribUne's
Washngo on special avs that Just now the
tnvOrlte solution of tIePresidenual COM
pIication is to hold new election next
fall, and to allow the President of the
Senate, whoever he may be, after the 4th
of March. to administer the office dd in-
teri m. This is to be brought about, ac-
cording to gossip in the lobbies OF
the cloak rooms at the capstol, by Dem
ocrats in the Senate. A WorHS Wash
lngton special confirms this partly,
and says that If another election is had
Hayes will not be thought of, but the
candidate will be Morton or Blaine. The
party which forces new election will
be held responsible for the continued
prostration of business which another
political campaign would necessarily in
volve. The business men of the country
would be likely to punish it severely by
refusing it their support. Should the
Democrats declde however to take the
risk, it is question whether they would
carry out the programme. At present
most Republicans appear to think they
could, but there are some who say that
II manifest attempt to delay the count
50 as to prevent its completion would be
"A violation of mandatory provision of
the Constitution, that the votes shall be
counted, and inasmuch as the Constitu-
tion overridcs all rules, it would he the
duty of the President OF the Senate to
interfere to check debate and order the
count to proceed.

stress of wind and weather, this one
began to show the effects Of time, and to
need reform and retrenchment ITSELF
in which respect it was notably a type
of its party, most people will admit.
The club tailor took 1t in hand, trim

bareaced tasehood to provoke any
contradiction, and we will not believe
that Tilden is going to he our President.
until there is no longer possibility of
hoping otherwise.

and the battle has begun. From the

Speaker Randalls first ruling is hardly
