Scandal at Madison.
Special Telegram to the Inter ooaan.

Madison, Wis, March l6.-The
fair city of the lakes has had sor-
rowful blemish cast upon its clear
record page within the past four
weeks, more or less. The story has
been told time after time. and only
grows worse with age. Your cores
pendent will state it TO the Inter Ocean
as he received it:
A certain member of the Legisla-
tIre from the cranberry districts has
made quite mark at the capital as
beau ideal, and has captivated more
than one unsuspectlng damsel, they
not thinking for a moment of his
home among the cranberries, his wife,
and those who naturally should be
near and dear to him. He, no doubt,
never thinking of his cranberry home,
meant to have good time while leg
islating for his rural constituents.
hence he was to be found at all the
places of amusement with one or more
of the city bellies tripping lovingly by
his side. Days and nights passed in
this pleasant way, until one night it
was arranged for little recreation at
his rooms, where two young ladies of
the city who walk in the highest grade
OF Madison society, walked into the
royal chamber of the State legislator.
lie Immediately sent note to mu
tual friend, another State Senator of
the upper counties, to share his hos
pitality, which was by no means de.
clined, and the quartet enjoyed them
selves in high reyelry. But fate, cruel,
cruel fate, was at their heels, for the
lover of one of the fair ladies was on
the alert and watched the evenings
performance with an eagles eye. He
procured long ladder and stealthily
climbed to rear window, opened one
blind very quietly and became con.
WINGED that he ought to call in the aid
of his lady-love's father. Accord
ingly, he went for the old man. The
father was indignant, and went to the
door of revelry and demanded admit
lance, which was at first refused, but
the door yielded to little pressure
and an active boot. A lively time
followed, explanations were offered,
the two State lawmakers managed to ,
make their escape, and determined
effort has been made to hush the mat.

Myths are but Symbols of Truth.

AS the scholar sees in the vain but beauti
full mythologies of the ancients the embodied
expressions OF the hungry human soul, blindly
cropping after the Infinite SO the physician sees
in that popular myth of the sixteenth century
the fountain of perpetual health and Youth
an expression of the longings of suffering hui
manity for remedy that should forever pre-
vent the incursion Of disease. The wilds of
Europe were ransacked for this wonderful
fountain, and Ponce de Leon sought for il in
the cypress-swamps and tangled everglades of
our sunny Florida. Men have searched for Il
everywhere and anywhere but where it really
is-in the human body ITSELF The blood Is
the real fountain ofperpetual health and youth.
When this source is corrupted, the painful and
sorrowful-producing effects are visible in many
shapes. The multifarious forms in which it
manfests itself would form subjects unon
which / might write volumes. But as all the
varied forms of disease which depend upon
bad blood are cured, or best treated, by such
medicines as take up from this fluid and ex
crete from the system the noxious elements. it
IS not OF practical importance that should de-
scribe each. For instance, medical authors
describe about Fifty varieties of skin diseases
but as they all require for their cure very sim,
liar treatment, it is of 10 practical utility to
know what name to apply to certain form of
skin disease, SO you know how best to cure it,

kinds OF scrofulous sores, fever sores, white

etc; but as all these various appearing mani,
festations OF bad blood are cured by uniform
means, deem such course unnecessary.

dlviduals. Gold is always found al.
loyed with silver,a nd it is never found
with any other alloy. To separate
the silver from the gold, the bullion is
boiled in snlphuric acid, which re-
moves the alloy; the gold is then re
boiled and reduced to coarse pow
der resembling clay. Itspurity then
is 998 or 900. The silver, mixed with
copper, is run iuto watts on a lower
floor and is purified and granulated,
when it resembles pip clay. The
granulated gold and silver are pressed
into large cheeses ia a hydraulic press
A cheese of gold, Il inches thick is
worth 10000; silver cheese of the
same size is worth 5000. The sui
phuric acid, after 1t is used, produces
a sediment of blue vitriol, which is
much prettier than either the gold or
silver seen in the Assay Office. The
vitriol and the weak acid are both sold
for as much money as the original acid
costs. The substitution of sulphuric
acid for nitric has caused a saving to
the Now York Assay Office alone of
100000 year. Depositors receive
their gold and silver separately at
standard purity, 900. Pure metal is
also sent to the assay Office from the
various refineries to be alleged From
United States re6neries silver is gen
orally sent in large bars or cakes; and
small amount of Mexican metal is
received in thin, irregulsrly shaped
pieces called disks. The fumes i.cm
the watts and furnaces in the ASSAY
Office are condensed and sold as
weak acid Only small amount of
the gas escapes into the atmosphere,
and although it is slightly offensive, it
is not injurious. On the contrary,
this gas is an excellent disinfectant,
and acts upon dead matter rather than
living.
