A writer in the London Medical
Times argues that the general opinion
ihat frequent cold and warm baths,
and washing the skin with cold water,
accompanied by friction, are con-
dacive to health and can do no harm,
is o conclusion that cannot be adj
mitted; for, on the one hand, millions
of men take no baths of any kind, or
at most slightly wash their face and
hanis once a week, an YET live to
Old age in the etj yment Of good
heGlIh -wulie on the other hand, no
one Is abe To prove That the use of
the various forms of baths wards off
d sease, or that washing in cold water
furnishes any protective power
against catarrh, rheumatism. etc, the
diseases which are supposed to par
ticularly arise from catching cold. A
comparison, too, says this writer, of
the frequency of disease in towns
where baths ale frequently resorted
to, and in the country, where they
rarely can be got, says but little for
their prophylactic power; and, al
though it cannot be said that their
frequent employment in towns is a
cause of the greater mortality there's
in, neither Can it be said that wash
ing "all over" with cold water pre-
vents disease.

A New Zealand paper relates the
following: There is dog at Taupo,
and also young pig, and these two
afford curious example of animal sa
gacity and confidence in the bona file
of each other These two animals
live at the native pan on the opposite
side of Tapaueharuru, and the dog
discovered some happy hunting
ground on the other side and in
formed the pig. The pig being only
two months old, informed the dog
that he could not swim across the
river, which at that spot debouches
from the lake, but that in time he
hoped to share the adventures of his
canine friend. The dig settled the
difficulty. He went into the river,
standing up to his neck in water, and
crouched down the pig got on his
back, clasping his neck with his fore
legs. The dog then swan across
thus carrying his chum over. Regu-
larly every morning the two in this
way go across, and forage around
Tapaueruru, returning to the pah at
night; and if the dog was ready to
go home before the pig he would wait
until his friend came down to be
ferried over. The truth of this story
is vouched for by several who have
the movements Of the pair
for some weeks past.

The authorities of the various Euro
pean governments are all quarantinists
of the strictest type. Instead of waiting
until the plague has spread over their
countries and then sending a dozen or
two commissions to find out how this
came about, the Austrian and Prussian
governments have already appointed a
joint commission to study the plague be-
fore it reaches their limits, and to pre-
pare some plan by which it's spread into
their domains can be prevented. In adj
dition, Austria has already declared a
quarantine against Warsaw, although
the plague is yet thousand miles from
that city. The Austrian government
evidently has no fear of losing the Polish
trade; it is more interested in preserving
the lives of its people.--N. O. Democrat

that the regulations relative to arri-
walls from Russian ports can, if neces-
sary, be applied to arrivals from
ports in the Lower Danube. Herr
Finkelburg, the German delegate to

LONDON, January 25.-According
to the British Medical Journal, great
alarm prevails in Eastern Europe
over the rapid spread up the Volga
River, in the southeastern part of
Russia, of an extremely fatal disease
believed to be plague. 1t is thought
to have been brought to Russia by
two regiments of Cossacks returning
from the war in Turkey. The dis
ease was regarded at first as typhus
fever and neglected, but it's terrible
mortality soon compelled the local
authorities to take steps for it's res
friction. Rigid quarantine was en-
forced against Astrakan, where it
originated, but the panic-stricken
Inhabitants of that city fed in all ,di-
rections, and scattered the germs of
the infection oyer the provinces of
Samara and Saratap lying along the
River Volga higher up. In spite of
all efforts at restriction, it soon reach
ed Tsaritzin, an important trading
town on the Volga, connected by rail
| with the whole of Russia and Eastern
Europe, and finally appeared in
Nizhal Novgorod, only few hours
distant from Moscow. Some Russian
newspapers consider the disease only
species of MALI nant typhus fever,
but the st. Petersberger Medicinische
Wochinschrift, of January 18th. says
it cannot be doubted from the tenor
of communications to official papers
that 1t is plague. Doctor Zolekaner
and Professor Botkin conclude from
its rapid spread and extraordinary
mortality, there being few if any re-
coveries, that it is a plague in its
worst form. A mostrigid quarantine
is enforced against the infected towns
and villages, which are divided into
districts, and not allowed to com
municate with one another. The
Vienna Medical Review states that
about one third of the physicians in
Russia died during the late war, and
insist upon the Importance, in the
interest of the whole of Europe, of
sending medical assistance to Russia
and helping her keep down her ma
lignant enemy.

IT strikes us that the broadsides of
personal abuse and ridicule fred at GEN.
DAVIS, by number Of journals in the
District, are rather i'll timed and impol-
itic. II should be remembered that he
had in the late contest large following
of gentlemen of position and intelligence
who have been identified with the
Democratic party in all Of its dangers
and hard fought battles, and that in the
late election their support of him was in
no sense political but purely personal,
and that their love for their friend is
none the less ardent because of his de-
feat; hence, any attempt to belittle him
in their eyes must fail, and the shafts of
ridioule directed at the chieftain are cal
culats1 to ALLEVIATE hisfollowers from the
Democratic pasty, and place them in an
tagonism to its nominees in an approach

pectsd 70 take his place in the line, and

BUTLER AND DAVIS.


Minneapolis Trihune,l
The following letter was received a
few days ago by d gentleman in this
city:
Boston MASS, January 5, 1879
DEAR SIR: I do not know as l ought
to write you to decide a bet, because
you ought not tobet; But to setyou
right in matter of history in which
you seem to be interested, allow me
to say that in the democratic conven
ton at Charleston, South Carolina,
in the year 1860. Ivoted ifty-seven
times, as I remember it for Jefferson
Davis, of Mississippi, afterwards pres
ident of the Confederate states,as can
didate for the democratic party for
president. He was not before the con-
vention as candidate, for my vote
and that of one of my colleagues were
the only ones he had. I believed
him to be a representative man OF the
South, and subsequent events have
shown that I was right. And I be-
lieved then, and believe now, that
if he could have been nominated for
president and elected the war would
have been saved, and the attempted
disunion prevented, for he would have
been chosen to be president over
thirty two States, rather than fifteen,
and my experience has been that the
north always got more consideration
on questions of human liberty from a
southern statesman as president be-
fore the war than it did from north
ern doughface, and that remains true
down to the present time.

1t is said to be fact that there were
seven cases of yellow fever on Cat Island

people of the Island held no communi-
