MISSING LINK OR MONKEY.
~Post-Mortem Examination ofthe Body o.
Nip, the tChimpanzce.

Nip, the rChimpanzce.
The New York Tribune gives the follow
ing account of the post-mortem by devotees
of science upon the remains of the deceased
c~himpanzee in the New York aquarium:
The two chimpanzees, Nip and his sister,
Tuck, have been separated by death, Nip
dying at three p. IN. Thursday. They arri-
we'd at the aquarium about three weeks ago.
Nip contracted a cold which human skill
and Tuck's tears could not alleviate, and
departed, leaving behind a shaggy skin,
which will be stuffed. The post-mortem ex-
animation, at which no coroner assisted,
took place Saturday afternoon, and drew
together an interested body of medical and
scientific gentlemen, among them being Pro-
fessor Hammond, Professor Smith. DR..
Smith, DR.. Sames..R. Wood, Professor Val
entine Mott, DR.. Little, Professor Savre, DIR.
Bates, Professor Darling, and DR.. Janeway
DIR. E.. G. Spitzka, assisted by DIR. j. r
Taylor, laid Nip's physical anatomy bare
and found that the cause of death was en-.
%teritis, with general tuberculosis of brain
and lungs. The physicians declared thai
the brain looked strikingly human. The
diameter of the Uranium was found to be &
little more than four inches, and the cir
conference fourteen inches. The brain re

was about the size of hat of a newly-borr
child, and the cerebrum overlapped thu

Spitzka said that part of the brain which il
supposed to do the talking, and which il
called the Island ofReil," was fairly de
veloped in Nip, who had only lacked as

CUSTER COUNTY TROUBLES.


Hayward City Correspondence rapid City
Journal.
Last November, the election for county
officers was duly celebrated in these parts,
and owing to an irregularity in the board
of canvassers, viz: The fact OF the probate
Judge having never duly qualified, and
there being only one county commissioner
the canyassing board did not canvass our
election returns, and consequently there was
no decision rendered as to whom of the con-
tending candidates was elected to fill these
highly renumerative county Offices, and
therefore the old officers held over but a
certain party known hereabouts as the
"Flickites," took very unkindly to the sit
uation and frequently declared their inten.
tons to take forcible possession of the office:
and county records. The register Of deed:
and county clerks Office has been for sone
time kept in the same room used and occu,
pied by the postofice. Well, on Wednesday
the 18th inst, the affair finally reached {
climax by the "%Flickites,' to the number q
six, entering the p. o., forcibly, and takin;
possession, with their six shooters, of III,
county records, and to some extent demol
ishing the postal arrangements by tearinl
down and scattered about the mail matte
and fixtures generally. Since then al
"impromtpu" board ofcounty commissioners
register Of deeds, etc. etc, have assumed t.
fulfill the supposed requirements of the Da
kota code, and there the matter for tn
present rests, "in statu quo" ! undersan,
the facts have been laid before the prope
authorities, and also reported to the P. c
department, and il remains to be seen a
this writing what action the Powers vii
take in the premises.

The Washington correspondent of the ST.
Paul Despatch writes as follows under date
of February 2Sth
Most Of the Dakotaians have'left. but Ma
jor Mitchell and Capt. Brooks of Bismarck
have arrived to keep their interests in mo-
ton. The subcommittee on territories
will report that it is inexpedient and unwise
to organize any territories during this ses-
sion, and in view Of this the birth Of Lin
coin" may be long delayed.
We give the foregoing a place for what ii
is worth, but our belief iH that it is intended
to quiet the fears of those who oppose the
measure and give its advocates a clear field
in which to operate. Late information
from Washington is to the effect that the
bill is likely to pass.

The proposition made by the Sioux City

In case Dakota should be divided on the
Tooth meridian, as now proposed, wouldn't
it be a good idea to attach the southern pop

While We are deeply moved by the moth

there are powerful motives which prompt
us to suggest that the people will respect

own affairs, will, in a few years, become q
more wealthy and influential state thar

The Deadwood papers are teeming with
new territory enthusiasm and accounts OF
new territory meetings. They are also redo
lent with suggestions that if eastern Dakota
dares oppose the Tooth meridian scheme the
Hills will s~traightway move the capital into
the Deadwood gulch. They seem to be act
ing upon the supposition that nobody lives
in eastern Dakota. They still remain in
blissful ignorance of the fact that we can
outyote them eight to one. But will the
Deadwood papers be fair enough to inform
their readers that eastern Dakota does MOI
make any opposition to a proper division Of
the territory? We are willing that the
Hills should go and that they should take
with them a reasonable amount of territory

Tits evident that vigorous quarantine against
the disease. combined with sanitary measures,
is the only effective method of fighting the
yellow fever. The patent-cot man has per-
jShed in his own invention; the ice water and
boiling water cures have been equally unsuc
ceSsful; the opium treatment has not checked
the disease, and the theory that burning gun
powder will kill the fever germs il, like the
powder used in the experiment, exploded.
The present epidemic is ascribed to the arrival
at New Orleans of the steamer Russia from
Havana on the Sth of June. Thence the
germs of the fever were carried to Memphis,
Grenada, Brownsville, and the other afflicted
cities and villages whose names have become
familiar. The immunity of several towns in
the fever districts has caused remark. Union
City, Tenn. has not had single case, though
fhe fever las made its appearance in all the
HeighbcTing villages and though it is surround
ed by sEampS. The strictest quarantine has
Kept out The fever. Galveston, Texas, has en-
1oyed a similar immunity. The exemption in
this case is attributable to the energetic mea-
sures adopted by her citizens since the cpl
6emic of l657. The grade of the city has been
raised four feet; the space beneath every
building where water stood has been filed up
with sand; and thorough system of drain
age has been introduced. The board of health,
composed of physicians serving without pay,
has enforced strict sanitary regulations in
public streets and private houses. AS a con-
sequence, the once filthy, plagueridden city
has Ter eleven years been free from an cpl.
demic. In 1873 refugees from other districts
were received and died within the city limits,
hut 70 case originated there. Consequently
cleanliness is an effective protection against
the disease; in its absence, which is the rule
in southern cities, the only security seems to
be found in quarantine that is carried even
to extremes.
