DR.. Alfred Buckingham, of Camp Den
nison, who was appointed by Governor
Young one of the Commissioners to in
vestigate and report upon the disease
known as hog cholera, has pursued his in
vestigations in Cincinnati quite extensive
ly, and will soon be ready with his report.
He has made post-naortena examinations of
the viscera of ninety hogs, who died by
hog cholera, and found in every case in
tlammation or disease of some part of the
respiratory apparatus. Cholera, as a
name for this disease, is of course mis-
nomer, as the digestive apparatus may be
entirely healthy in hog suffering with
cholera, as it is called. He has examined
100 lungs of hogs killed by the butchers
and considered healthy, and in the lungs
of over half the number he found thread
like worms. These worms exist In the
bronchial tubes, lying in punches side by
side, in some of them over an inch in
length; and in some lungs examined they
amount in number to nearly half a mil
lion. These worms seem to be only Incl
dental to this disease.-BGtdui Sua.

A LIGHT MULATTo CHANGED TO A JET
BLACK One of those unaccountable freaks
of nature which puzzle the brain of the
scientist has just come to notice in West
Baltimore, and furnishes the medical fra
ternitY i'll particular with food for thought
and theme for conversation. The case is
that of n colored woman about forty-tive
years of age, who died last week in house
ON West Lexington street from a complica-
tion of disease.
Eight years ago this woman was a light
mulatto, aud at the tiu.e of her death, ac-
coIding 10 the testimony of several plySi-
clans aud others who saw her, she was as
black as midnight. The change during
this period of eight years was SO gradual,
but SO certain withal. that the family with
whom she lived could readily perceive the
color it deepeued from light yellow into
a shining black.
The whole system of the woman under
went complete transformation. From a
stout, portIy, and unwieldy person, who
used to attract the notice of persons on ac-
count OF her size, she dwindled away into
the thin, spare and regular form of the
typical spinster. The physician who had
been attending her for the last four years
said lie could not fathcm the mysteries of
the case, aud does not know to what cause
he may attribute the transformation that
was apparent to the eyes of all who knew
.he woman. She herself was very sensitive
about the matter, aud before her death she
could not bear to hear any one pass any re-
marks on the change that had been made
IN her personal appearance. She was a
Nirginian owneo at one time by the fami
ly of ID. Wade, of tlie fam of ID. Wade &
Co., wholesale druggists, on South Howard
street.--BattimOr NeDs.

caused many inquiries as to the ORR
gin OF the name, and it Is surprising
to witness the general public ignor-
ance in regard to it.
John Howard, the philanthropist,
from whom the association derives
its name, was born at Hockney, near
London, about 1926. From his father,
who had been engaged in trade, he
Inherited a considerable fortune. In
1886, the year OF the great earth
quake at Lisbon urged by motives Of
benevoIence, as well as curiosity, he
set sail for that city. On this voyage
his vessel was taken by a French pri-.
vateer, and he was carried into the
interior, where he suffered imprisOn-
ment for some time. The hardships
which he there underwent, combined
with the knowledge of prisons and
the miseries of prison life, which he
acquired rs 3 county sheriff in 1T73
and afterwards, determined him in
devoting himself to prison reform.
His life thereafter Is but chronicle Of
his Journeys throughout the Uaited

he visited the prisons and hospitals.
