A Southern Republican CORE
spondeut OF Houpeys Weekly, of Oct,
Ito, says: You can not make a
Republican party in the South as the
question stands now, simyly because
1t means negro control and carpet
bag thieves. The North is opposed
to this, and every soldier in the serv
ice is opposed to it." The editor of
the Weekly in commenting upon the
letter says: His words aIe en-
phat:c, and they are worth cousid-
eang.'

Trouble with the Ute Indians.
Information Of a serious outbreak
By The Ute Indians in Colorado has
been received, AZ far as we can
understand IT, the hostility Of these
Indians has been justly aroused by
the oDcroachmenta Of the whitss up.
on Their lands Rich deposits Of GOLD
have been discovered and richer still
are supposed 90 ezisliu the Ute res-

hence the necessity Of fnding some

How to Detect Scarlet Fever.

It is important to detect the disease
when it first shows itself, for the reason
that it may run rapidly to a fatal issue,
and because early precautions need to
be taken against it's spread, inasmuch as
the patient may communicate it from
the very first.
Scarlatina is characterized by very
numerous red points on the skin about
the size of a pin-head though larger
in some places, but seldom as large as a
lentil.
These spots are closely aggregated,
leaving the adjacent skin wholly free.
About as much of the surface is free as
is covered by the spots. Where the
skin is free, it has natural pale color.
There are generally fewer spots on the
face than ON the rest of the body. It is
the reverse with measles, for which it is
most apt to be mistaken. Around the
mouth and on the chin there are no
spots; hence these have very peculiar
pale look, in striking contrast with the
scarlet spots.
Moreover, the spous are not as much
elevated as they are in measles; indeed,
they may be entirely fat. They are
also less indented.
Their nearly circular shape, their
being crowded together, with free spaces
between the aggregates, their tolerably
uniform space from each other, and
their nearly equal size, help to dis
tinguish them from other eruptions;
but the paleness of the mouth alone is
often sufficient to decide the matter at
once.
Besides these indications, almost al
ways the back of the mouth and of the
tongue are infamed, and the glands of
the neck are swollen.

and abruptly asked: Why did you
publish that gassy stuff?' My indig-
nation was even greater than my as
constituent. I retorted fercely: Mr..
Greeley, | should feel hurt by your
question, if had any respect what
ever for your Judgment in regard to
poetry" He smiled sad, forgiving
smile, and said nothing. Years after
ward I saw that he was right; the poem
was only piece of sounding rhetoric,
for which "gassy" was perhaps coarse,
but certainly not an inappropriate, cpl
tibet. In this, as in other respects, the
discipline to which he subjected me,
was excellent; if not the result of the
intellectual perception, it manifested an
instinct even more remarkable.

Bayard TAYLOR and Horace Greeley.

The following is an extract from Bay
ard Taylors letter to the New York
Tribune, soon after the death of Mr.
Greeley:
I first saw Mr.. Greeley in June, 1874,
when I was boy of 10. [ applied to
him for an engagement to write letters
to the Tribune from Germany. His
reply was terse enough. "No descrip-
tive letters!" he said, "I'm sick Of
them. When you have been there long
enough to know something, send to me,
and, if there is anything in your letters,
I will publish them" / waited nearly a
year, and then sent seventeen letters,
which were published. They were
shallow enough, I suspect; but what
might they not have been without his
warning?
Toward the end of 1S47, while I was
engaged in the unfortunate enterprise
of trying to establish weekly paper at
Phmnixville, Pa, wrote to him, fore
seeing the failure of my hopes asking
his assistance in procuring literary
work in New York. He advised me Gas
I suspect he has advised thousands of
young men( to stay in the country.
But had stayed in the country, and a
year too long; so another month found
me in New York. in his Office, with my
story of disappointment, and my re-
peated request for his favorable infu-
ence. II think you are mistaken" he
said; "but I will bear you in mind, if I
baar IF anv chance"
Six weeks afterward, to my great sur
prise (for supposed he had quite for
gotten me), he sent for me and offered
me place on the Tribune. I worked
hard and necessarily during the sum-
mer of 1848, hearing never a word of
commentator Or encouragement; but,
one day in October he, suddenly came
to my desk, laid his hand on my shout
der and said: You have been faithful
but now you need rest. Take weeks
holiday, and go into New England" I
obeyed, and found, on my return, that
he had ordered my salary to be in
creased.
think none of his associates at that
time ever wrote line which he did not
critically read. His comments some
times seemed rough, but they were al
ways wholesome and almost invariably
lust. Once he called me into his room,
pointed to poem of mine which had

MIR. LOckyer Finds the Philosophers
Stone.

Mr.. Norman Lockyer has realized the
alchemist's dream, the transmutation of
metals. In the presence of small
party of scientific men, Mr.. Lockyer, by
the aid of powerful voltaic current,
volatilized copper within a glass tube,
dissolved the deposit formed within the
tube in hydrochloric acid, and then
showed, by means of the spectroscope,
that the solution contained no longer
copper, but another metal, calcium, the
base of ordinary lime The experiment
was repeated with other metals and with
corresponding results. Nickel was thus
changed into cobalt, and calcium into
strontium. All these bodies, as is well
known, have ever been regarded as ele
mentary- that is, as incapable of being
resolved into any components, or of
being changed one into another. It is
on this basis that all modern chemistry
is founded, and, should Mr.. Lockyer's
discovery bear the test of further trial,
our entire system of chemistry will re-
quire revision. The future possibilities
of the discovery it is difficult to limit
The great object of the old alchemists
was, OF course, to transmute base metals
into gold, and, so far as our knowledge
goes, there is no reason why copper
should not be changed into
gold as well as into calcium.
The means at present employed are OBJ
viously such as to render the process far
more costly than any possible results can
be worth; but this is necessarily the case
with most scientific discoveries before
they are turned into commercial facts.
Mr., Lockyer is one of our best living
spectroscopists, and no man with repu-
tation such as his would risk the pub
LEGATION of SO startling fact as he has
just announced to the scientific world
without the very surest grounds. He is
known by his friends as somewhat SAN
gJline, and he does not pretend to be an
accomplished chemist, but he was sup
ported yesterday by some of our lead
ing chemists, all of whom admitted that
the results of his experiments were in
applicable on any other grounds but
those admitting of the change of one
element into another, unless, indeed,
our whole system of spectrum analysis
is to be upset, the other horn of very
awkward dilemma. Since, 100 years
ago, Priestly discovered oxygen and
founded modern chemistry, there has
BEEN there could be-no discovery
made which would have such an effect
on modern science as that the so-called
elements were no longer to be consid-
cred elementary-LopodonD ojlyNe,os.

And finally gave up, completely heart broken.
