Close on the heels OF the Spanish insult to
the American vessel, the Ellen Rizpah, fol-
lows an outrage on the Rising Sun, also
bearing the American flag. The vigilance
OF Spanish cruisers seems TO have been re-
doubled Of late, and every American vessel
which happens TO be In or near Cuban waters
is an object of suspicion. And yet. since the
Inflated Nirginius left our shores in the fall
OF 1873, no attempt has been made by Amer
lean flibusters to land on the Cuban coast.
The summary butchery of forty of the off
GERS and men of that vessel by Burriel seems
10 have deferred others from any attempt to
succOr the insurgents, but 10 Is possible the
Spanish government is in possession OF in
formation which leads ii to suspect that an
other expedition is in preparation. This
gives the Spanish cruisers no right, how
ever, 10 violate treaty obligations by board
ing every small vessel carrying the Ameri-
can flag, and if they persist in doing so a
serious complication between Spain and the
United States is inevitable. for no American
citizen can look with equanimity On these
Outrages upon his flag.

arm at Fair Oaks, on the Peninsula, and
commanded an army corps in the Army OF
the Potomac, and also in General Sharman's
army on its march to the sea. While his

There can be no doubt that much of the ter
rible mortality among infants in large cities
during the hot summer months is attributa-
BILE to impure or diseased milk. \ New York
paper expresses the opinion that if pure milk
were supplied TO all infants in that city the
infant mortality would decrease more than
One-half. The same paper does the cOmmu-
nifty service by illustrating the difference
between pure and impure milk by means of
cuts, showing the dissimilar appearance of
the two when placed beneath a lens of high
magnifying power. The anatomical charac-
tiers OF pure milk are butter globules Ofdiffer-
ent sizes. In watered milk these glObuleS are
much fewer and smaller, and in distillery or
swirl milk, they are unusually small and
few in number, and have a strong propensity
TO run together. There are also seen in swill
milk, by means Of the microscope, numerous
large granular looking corpuscles of a green
color, and others of about the same size of a
yellow color, with dark lines radiating from
the center toward the circumference; also
minute bodies which are sporules of con-
fervP.

Owing TO the long and painful process OF
strangulation, and 10 the frequent bungling
executions which occur In this country, IL
has been suggested TO substitute an easier
and quicker method of disposing OF our cap
ital criminals, and in this connection the
guilletine has been mentioned. 1t may be
argued that this method Of execution is re
volting. But the same may be said CT hang
ing, or In fact of any other mode of capital
punishment. The method by which the
work is done in the quickest and least pain
full manner would seem the humane way. A
correspondent writing from France gives
description OF a late execution by means OF
the guillOtine, and states that in thirteen sec
Onds from the time the condemned mounted
the Platform his head was in the willow
basket below the death dealing axe. This is
much better time than is made in hanging
which takes all the way from fifteen minutes
20 half an hour, and infiicts unnecessary tor
fure on the unfortunate criminal.
