Public Opinion.

The republicans are on trial. If they
will come up to the occasion, and sustain
the president, they may have a chance
in 1880. If they follow Conkling in
frustrating the policy of Cancellation,
the triumph of the democrats is sure
Boston Saturday EUening Gazette.
The fact is recalled that the passage
in the Bible which the presidents lii s
touched when he took the oath of office
last spring runs as follows: "They have
comprised me about, but in the name
of the Lord will l destroy them"
Manly remark of President Hayes to
several senators 81 want you to I'm
derstand that, if at any time it is shown
to your satisfaction that | have nOmi-
mated an unfit man, you will do me a
favor by helping to reject him. Do not
hesitate for Il moment to do so, and do
not believe that l shall be offended, but
the contrary"
Remark by the New York Times
sit is not the game of politics, in the
proper sense of that word, which is
played at Washington it has very lit
tie TO do with principles or policies; it
is hungry struggle for place and profit,
which is disereditable to free Govern
ment, where officials of every grade
are, in theory, servants and not para
sites of the people"
The Malone Palladium says that,
while Vice-President Wheeler does not
fully agree with the presidents civil
service policy, as interpreted by his acts
and orders, he comedies entire honesty
and sincerity of purpose to the presi-
dent, and believes that whenever he
finds he has made mistake he will
correct it. The paper adds that, chow
ever Mr.. Wheeler may regard certain
specific acts of the administration, he is
not an antiHayes man."

Indifferent. Lieut.. Walter also says
that of 81 bodies found, about II OF
whom were officers, not single triuket
such us wonld be deemed relic by
the relatives of the dead WAS found oil
the bodies. Watches and chains, mon
ey and even fnger-rings had been
stripped off by those who first found
the bodies as they washed up. Good
evidence is found in the case of Lieut..
Simons, whose third and fourth fingers
of the left hand had been scratched and
gouged by the body robbers in their
haste to secure their ill-gOtten booty.

The WEATHER CHRIsTMAs.-All signs
continue to fail for this remarkable
year. Last December at this time The
Republican was telling about ideal win
ter weather, the perfection of sleighing,
and an abundance of holiday cheer
including plentiful "cradle-holesn for
the sleighing parties abroad in the de-
licions, singing, mOon-lit nights. But
to-day the arbutus is blowing, grass
hoppers are skipping the fields that
seem ready to grow green at once, some
adventurous farmers have made sugar
from the sap that flows on the sunny
side of the naples, and in the city
streets the watering-cart goes its useful
round. A correspondent tells of a
Christmas tree at Ringville, in Hamp-
shire county, which bore remarkable
fruit-a box of grasshoppers picked that
day ip the fields. We record these facts
for the historian of the future, and
recommend to his notice the wonderful
weather of the year 1s77,-Sprinqfeld

Heartlessness and Thieving.

Lieut.. Walter, assistant inspector of
the life-saying service on the North
Carolina coast, makes report showing
that Evan O'Neill, a fisherman of Mays
Head, saw the United States steamer
Huron at l.30 a. IN. the day of the dis
aster on reef or coming ashore, heard
shouts and screams and saw the signals
of distress, and saw boat lost to sight
with men on her, being thin seeing
distance of the wreck. for an hour at
least, but that he then went home, ate
breakfast, and proceeded to notify 9th
ers of the disaster, and returned to the
wreck after sunrise. He knew where

WHERE THE SHOE PINCHEs.-West-
ern farmers who are so anxious for the
repeal of the resumption act and for
cheaper money will begin to reap the
fruits of their folly much sooner than
was expected. 1t is announced that the
British and American mortgage com
pany and Mercantile trust company of
New York will lend no more money on
landed security except under the stip
ulation that payment, principal and in
terest. shall be in gold. Other corpo-
rations and capitalists generally will
be driven to the same position if the
schemes of the infiationists and repudi
atOrs succeed.

stances connected with the affair little
doubt is entertained but that they went
directly to the bridge and jumped in
and were drowned. P. S.-The girls
didn't drown. They ran away.
FATAL ACCIDENT.-Mrs.J John Cheney
was thrown from a wagon, last Thurs,
day and so badly injured that she died
the next morning. Mrs. Cheney and
little grandson were riding in an express
wagon with j. j. Hill. They started
from Mr.. Cheney's to go to Mr.. Beede,s,
and as they were going up a steep hill,
from the highway to Mr.. Beede's house,
the whiff1etree broke and the wagon ran
back down the hill few rods, cramped
round and tipped over. Mrs. Cheney
fell out striking on the back of her head
and received injuries from which she
died.-MOnitOr.
The United States Government re-
ceives license fees from one wholesale
liquor establishment, two breweries and
433 saloons in Vermont, and yet the
state officials can't find one of these
places. 1t is proposed in the next
Legislature to make the payment of
license to the general government, or
the receipt therefor, prima facie evil
dence of the manufacture or the sale of
liquor. Such law would have in
creased Vermont's revenue the past year
$4,000.

ACADEMY OF MEDICINE.
PmthogenY OF yellow Fever.

The presentation of a paper on the
'Pathogeny of Yellow Fever last night
elected lengthy discussion. The conclu-
sions reached were as follows:
l. Yellow fever has no symptoms or
lesion absolutely peculiar TO itself or diff
ferent from other acute infectious dis
eases
.. Its distinctive characteristic is its con.
fnement to seaports and to climates OF al
least 72o F.
3. 1t is germ disease-that is, it is due
to a microscopic parasite, which has how
ever as yet eluded recognition.
4. The germ multiplies with characters
tic fecunlity outside, but not INSIDE, of the
body. In the body it cvOkcs LESSONS, and
it is not contagious in the strict sense Of the
term Not the person, but the properties
Clothing, bilge water, etc. }, carries the dis
ease.
g. Quarantine should, hence only extend
to goods.
g. The germ dies out with every frost
cold enough to kill the banana plant, and
all epidemic may only recur after importa
ton from places not subjected to such loss
of heat.
T. Local genesis of the disease is impossi
bic; it is always imported. Local dissent
nation here, though possible, is highly i'm
probable, as the necessary conditions do moi
exist.
g. The type of an epidemic is determined
by the surrounding conditions, the specific
cause being always the same.
O. A fraction of the large sums of money
benevolently donated to alleviate the sui
ferings caused by an epidemic, would
suffice to secure scientific investigation that
would probably soon lead to the detection
Of the exact nature and to the prevention
