liberty Of inclo>ing you one of our revised
tariffs snd classification from New Orleans
to stations upon our line, effective January
l, 1873, aud also a copy oftariff in effect pri-
or to that da,e, so you can compare and see
what heavy reduction has been made by
the new management. Note. particularly,
the carl loads A. b, C and ID, that the old
tariff was for l6.00Oibs, when the new one is
for 20 ,000fbs. Note, also, : reduction In the
classification coffee reduced from aud to 3rd

Senator Bills Resolution.

Senator Bills has introduced an i'm
pOrtant and timely resolution on the sub,
ject of Railroads and the power of the
State authorities to regulate freights and
fares to prevent overcharges and unjust
determinations. Touching that portion
OF his resolution looking to a more efFec.
tual method to enforce payment for stock
injured or killed by the trains, we would
suggest as worthy of consideration a
law requiring companies to keep a
fence on either side of the tracks in accord.
ance with custom in other States.
The responsibility of companies for dam.
age done in that way, has been declared
by the Supreme Court, and is recognized
by the companies, and this method,
while protecting owners of such property,
would prevent litigation, and no doubt
would prove more economical to the cor
porations in the end.

Trichina SpiraIis.
OFFICE Miss. STATE BOARD or HEAL
Jackson, January 9Th. 1S z,

~
jackson, January 9TH, Is 70.
DR.. A: G. Smythe, Sanitary Commission
er FIRST Congressional District. has inform
ed this office that he has discovered the
1richind spirdlis in the flesh of hogs recently
slaughtered In Lee county.
As these parasites, when introduced nto
the human system, produce most
alarming form of disease, it Is well to
know how to detect them in trichinous pork,
and the means of destroying their vital
ity.
They exist in the muscleas, and when
they become finally attached, a capsule is
formed around them, giving to the muscle
gray speckled appearance, as If "thickly
sprinled with the eggs of some small in
sect, being quite distinct from the red
muscle. The capsules contain the thread
like worm wound up sprally. Before
the Trtchtn0 becomes en-. capsuled they are
invisible to the naked eye and in the en- can
suled state, before cretification has COM
menced, they are difficult of detection with
out the aid of a lens. The microscope
should always be employed.
1t is probable that the usual methods of
curing or pickeling pork, by sailing, smok-
ing, etc, only kills these parasites nearest
the surface. Raw ham aad slightly smok-
ed sausages have been known to produce
poisoning.
Imperfect cooking by roasting, boiling
or frying only kills the Trichin0 on the
surface; in the parts distant from the sur
face they remain alive. 1t requires thorough
cooking to destroy their vitality. Tie
meat should be subjected to the tempera-
ture Of boiling water for sufficient time to
ensure that every particle has been acted
upon by that degree of heat.

to wish my views upon the constitutional
convention, tax law, etc, l will briefly

no condition financially to humor the

are most Objectionable can be altered

will express the will of the people and rep
resent their wishes as nearly as would a

Ex-Trcusurcr Spiuner's View of
the Money Question.

|
Ex.Treasurer Spinner, who so long
and faithfully watched the money bags
of the Government, aud who under
stands the workings and necessities of
our financial machine as well as any
other man, in recent interview with
newspaper reporter, said:
The financial question Is, really, not so
difficult as many suppose. / was brought
up a bullion Democrat and am quite will
ling there should be Il metallic currency for
those who wish one; but | think paper Is
best. VIM. ID. Kelley has the true idea,
but II Is not original with him. A metallic
currency is wanting In eacticity. At
times, an expansion OF the circulating medi-
um Is unnecessary for the purchase of crOps
transportation, etc. What we want il an
issue of legal tender notes, convertible at
any time into an interest-bearing bond of
the United States--a bond for which the
holder could get currency with accrued in
terest whenever he should desire. At n
rate of interest no higher than sos per
cent, the desired amount of circulation
would be absorbed when not used for COM
mercial purposes, and the bonds would be
converted when the business of the country
required large amount OF currency.
Such currency would soon be on par with
gold, and it would be the parent
of new prosperity, and of a new
era of patriotism. The present plan
Of resumption will have no other
effect than to Cypress the people aud
cripple the energies of government. The
power to issue notes should be taken from
banks and vested in the government.
without change In the financial policy
the worst is yet to be apprehended. The
people will not stand too much opposition.

The eleven years following were spent in ministerial and pastoral work in Chicago. In 1872 he was called to the Pres idency of the Northwestern University. By the General Conference of the NJ. E. Church, in 1876 he was elected editor-in- chief of the New York Christian Advocate. which enjoys. probably, the largest circu- latlon of any religious weekly on the globe. Since entering upon his editorial duties, the doctor has become widely and favorably known as platform speaker. The Centennial oration delivered by him at Philadelphia on Illinois Day." was, in every respect, 8 masterpiece Of his lect- ure on Great Deeds of Great Men. recent ly delivered in Reading, Pa.t Times and Despatch says :-"Dr. Fowler made h1s re- appearance at the Academy of Music last evening and spoke for two hours to one oi the largest and finest audiences ever as sembled within it's walls The lecturer was accorded the closest attention throughout the evening, his sallies of wit evokine laughter, hls magnificent descriptions elic- iting applause. closing with 8 conclusive manifestation of his wonderful oratorical power by affecting them to tears.
