A Supposed Yellow Fever Germ.

DR.. Walter Bailey, of New Orleans,
has in his possession what he believes
to be real yellow fever germ. Look
ing at the particles through microscope
it appears to be q cloudy or colored sub
stance divided in all directions by lines
or fibers taking the form of grapevine,
which are somewhat darker in color
than the main body of the substance.
Scattered about these lines irregularly
are several specks or spores of a dark
brown with minute light speck in the
center. The germ, which has formed
upon the inner surface of the lower
glass in the eye piece of the microscope,
is Invisible to the naked eye; but when
a certain focus of less power than that
under which the above description is
made is obtained, the particles resemble
dust mixed with linen fibers.
AS to the origin of the substance, DIR.
Bailey states that it so happened that he
took out his microscope and cleaned it
about the first of September last, when
the yellow fever was raging in an cpl
demic form in New Orleans, and care
fully rubbing and drying the glasses
with chamois skin the instrument was
closed up and laid away in dry place
in the wardrobe, where it remained
until five weeks later, when. upon tax
ing it out to examine some deposit in p
case of Bright's disease, nothing could
be seen but the peculiar half transparent
substance which appeared upon one
the glasses. After examining The glasses
carefully the doctor came to the conclu-
sion that the object on the glass was n
ort Of vegetable of the fungus order
which had grown upon the inside of the
microscope after it was closed up and
put away. He is certain that the glass
was perfectly clean when he put the in
strument in the wardrobe, because he
remembers distinctly that he looked
through carefully to see that it was all
right, it being his sole purpose to have
1t ready for use.

Pretty Nihilist,s Deed.

A St. Petersburg correspondent writes !:
Thus fur the authorities have only been
able to arrest three men and one young
lady. The latter, Miss Agramowskaja,
q Young girl of seventeen, of cXtraordi-
nary beauty and splendidly educated.
She was the one who defied the Cossacks
to take the conspirators without taking
her along. 1t was near the Plaza, when
two workingmen and one nobleman,
Krotoff, passed near her, and she, with
the agility'of Il young maiden, jumped
to the pavement and kissed Mr.. Krotofl.
bidding him good cheer. The officer of
the patrol having charge of the prison.
us asked her whether she sympathized
with the work done by the prisoners,
and displaying Il nicely mounted revol-
yer, which she drew from her bosom,
she said: "Aye, aye; I dow Quick as
lightning the officer told one of the
guards to arrest her; but before she was
even secured, she cooked, aimed and
fired her pistol, killing outright lie COM
mander of the guard. He fell from his
horse, his body bleeding fearfully, while
Miss Agramowskaja assured the crowd
that surrounded the terrible scene that
this was the Russian revolution in all its
bearings and movements. "This blood
will help us to freedom" she exclaimed
in grand tones, and now I am going
to Siberia to bring back thousands OF
our fellow-heings who are suffering for
the want of liberty" She left the bloody
scene, poor soul, looking more like Il
maniac than q reformer, and with the
blood of the commander of the guard on
her hands; she was chained to the
wagon that ended the miserable process
sion rs it passed along the horrible
street of Kison.
