Pulaski Marcia Centennial Souvenir.
From Lulden & Bates Southern Music
Honse, Savannah, Ga, we receive IL copy
of Pulaski March, written by Pr:f Henry
Shoeller Of Dalton, Ga, specially for the
Savannah Centennial, October 9, 1879,
and played by the Thirteenth U. S. In
fantry Band at the laying of the Jasper
monument corner stone. The piece is
elegantly gotten up and reflects great
credit OH the entcrprising publishers. Its
superb military title page with Autograph
Of the magnificent Pulaski monument, of
which Gen. Lafayette laid the corner
stone in 1928, is worthy of framing, and
will make a tasteful souvenir of this
grand Southern Centennial. The march
is brilliant and inspiring, but not diff
cult. Bands are playing it generally
and it is voted genuine success. 1t
should grace every Southern girls piano.
All music dealers sell it. Send forty
cents for a copy.

The friends of Judge Henry o. Maher
were startled and shocked, two or three
days since. to hear that he had fallen in
fit and was believed to be in a critical
condition. Medical aid was quickly
summoned and soon the welcome intelli-
gence was received that the patient was
much better and no fears of serions
result..were entertained. The attack oc-
CURED just after hearty dinner, pre-
coded by glass OF two of beer and a
nip of absinthe as an appetizer. The
Judge will doubtless be more circnm-
spect in the future in the matter of mix
mig drinks and food. 1t gives us great
pleasure to chronicle his convalescence
and to assure his friends that his genial
presence will not long be missed from
his usual haunts.

Pertinent Comm ont.

The San Francisco Bulletin looks
upon the decision of Judge Wright
holding the successful w. P. G.
candidates as guilty of bribery in
pledging themselves to pay back
into the Treasury portion of their
salaries, and argues that it is mere
ly legal quirp to disfranchise 90.
900 people. 1t says:
If the movement is carried out to
its logical conclusion, the whole
city, pretty nearly, can be disfran-
chised. The only perfectly upright
citizens in the end will be found to
be those who are now running the
government. They cannot be charg-
ed with the sin OF promising to cut
down expenditures. No felonious
intent to reduce the public burdens
can be fastened on them. They
will continue to rule over a dis.
franchised town, their purity being
in sharp contrast with the sur
rounding immortality. In view of
these facts it can, of course, be
triumphantly asked, is this Gov
ernment of law? That is certainly
the question to be put. Its rele-
vance, however, from the above
statements, will at once become ap-
parent.

Suicide Near Santa Ana
ISan1n Ann Times. l2th.l

lSauta Ana Times, 13th.l
Yesterday afternoon about two
o'clock, news was brought to town
that dead man had been found on
tho Wright place, about one mile
from Santa Ana.
A Times reporter WAS Immediate
ly dispatched to find out the par
ticulars if possible. Upon arriving
at the well on the north side Of the
road, man was found in sitting
position, leaning against the side of
the well curbing with his feet hang
ing in the we'll, a bullet having
pierced his head from temple to
temple. Constable Isbell, who ac-
companied us, mediately re-
turned to Santa Ana and summon
ing a Coroner's jury, returned
with Judge Humphrey and the
jury to hold an inquest over the
remains.
The deceased came to Santa Ana
on last Sunday highland registered
at the Santa Ana Hotel by the
name of Il. Meyer, San Francisco.
In talking with different persons
on Monday and Tuesday he said he
was from Oregon, and formerly had
been q saloon keeper in that
State. On Tuesday afternoon he
paid his bill at the hotel and got q
buggy at NielPs stable and took
ride. After he came back he went
over to Reuter- Bros. for awhile, and
after procuring a bottle of liquor
there he started toward Tustin
City. The last place he was seen
alive was just below Mr.. Halla-
days place. He told Mr.sReuter
that he had suffered terribly from
the asthma, and the further south
he went the worse he got. Moth
ing was found on his person to
identify him. A memorandum
boo k was found with him in which
was the following inscrip.
tion: "Sul. Tieucken, 11S Mont
gomery street." It certainly
was we'll laid plot for him to kill
and bury himself at the same time;
as he had thrown his things into
the we'll, sat down on the curbing,
and placing pistol at his temple,
fired the fatal shot, expecting, no
doubt, to fall into the well immedi-
diately afterwards. The remains
were taken charge of by undertake
er j. r. Paul and brought to Santa
Ana, and will be buried from this
place to-day.

four hundred years has the market been
short of full supply.
Sea serpents have been met with only
$50 feet long, but the majority of them
are at least double that length. A sea
captain who would come into port and
make oath that he had seen one less than
200 feet long would be laughed to scorn
and advised to go West and become
Buffalo Bill. There is no doubt that
one of the monsters can keep right on
growing as long a9 he ants to, and of
course each one is mbitious to spin out
as far as he can. During fly time a sea
serpent 300 feet long has great advan-
tage over q COW or q mule-a fact which
naturqlists seem to have overlooked en-
tirely.
While these monsters are no doubt
somewhat given to roaming around, they
are seldom found curled up under favor
ite cherry trees or in arbors resorUed to
by moOn-struck lovers.
While other snakes go to heaps of
troub BILE to get into n house and curl up
in an old straw hat on the top-shelf of a
bedroom closet, the sea serpent keeps
him elf modestly in the background.
This animal is not gregarious in its
habits. Two sea serpents are never
seen together, and it is seldom that two
are seen the same week.
Their plan seems to be to go it alone.
Each one then secures all the glory and
all the plunder, and there is no give
away about it. Their principal food
consists of tough old ships-the older
and tougher the better, and if any red
nosed sea captain or staggering mates
happen to slip into the monsters mouth
along with topsail yards, bowsprits,
capstans, etc, the serpent is not to
blame for it..
While children may cry for this rep
tile, they hadn't better fool with it, as it
is plain that he is very whimsical in his
nature. Captains have taken one stiff
glass of grog and gone on deck to be-
hold sea serpent humping away from
the ship as fast as he could 90. Other
captains have taken two glasses of grog
and seen the serpent swim all around the
ship and lift its head thirty feet in the
air and open his jaws as if he scented
roast chicken. 1t may ali be in the grog
or it may be the variable nature of the
serpent. Until the real truth is known
the tow-headed boys of the land had
better not run after this marine novelty.
While il is known that the house fly
lives six months and the elephant 100
years, nobody knows how long it takes
a sen serpent to die Of old age. He may
droop and die just rs he has learned the
ropes and come to know all about the
bunko-game, or he may hang on and
witness the passing away of seven gen.
erations of long-lived OIL, Jack Tars. 1t
is perhaps just rs well that some little
mystery is allowed to enshroud this
strange inhabitant. If we were privi-
ledged to slam him around as we do
Il Il l. al
as we do an old hat with rock under it,
we should feel contempt instead of an
admiration for him, and when q ship
came home and reported seeing mons
ter sen serpent in the neighborhood Of
section three, township eleven, in range
thirteen east, the captain would be
asked TO look in our eyes and answer if
he saw vegetable garden here.-De-

The MaIariaI Poison.

Intermittent fever, marsh fever, ma
larial fever, fever and ague, "chills -
these are few of the names by which
the doctors and the people know more
or less of one of the most widespread
and familiar of the ills that flesh is heir
to-a malady that seems to occur ut one
time or another in all countries where
there are to be found water, sunshine
and a soil reasonably rich in decayed
vegetable elements. In countries where
the soil is less rich in vegetable elements,
the fever is restricted to the neighbor-
hood of inundated lands or marshes, or
ponds of variable level, because in these
situations the abundance of decaying
vegetable subsistence is very great. In
such countries the opinion is general, and
is perhaps accurate, that the poison is>of
ma:shy origin; butin countries where the
whole soil is rich enough TO be in this
particular like these marshy lands, it
has been long recognized that the poison
had no necessary relation to marshS
situations, but was in fact telluric, and
that short rain, which only slightly
moistened the surface of the earth and
n few succeeding hours of sunshine sup
piled all the conditions necessary for the
elaboration of the poison that produced
this fever. But what was that pOisonp
Within a f W years ingenious endeaYOrs
10 solve this problem have multiplied.
In the present year some experiments
have been made at Rome which appear
10 be more fruitful than any hitherto
recorded; or, in the words of the report
read to the Academy of Rome, "the in
YestigatiOn was rewarded with COM
plete success" These experiments were
conducted by Signor Tommasi, of Rome,
and Professor Klcbs, of Prague. They
together spent some weeks in the
ArgO Romano, and made repeated
examinations of the lower strata of the
atmosphere, of the soil and of
stagnant waters, and succeeded in
isolating a microscopic fungus, speci-
mems of which, being placed under the
skin of healthy dogs, caused distinct and
regular parOXysms Of intermittent fever
aud produced in the spleens of these ami
mails that peculiar condition which is a
recognized part of the pathology Of this
disease. In the medical world this
achievement must be regarded as an inn
pOTtant one. To people Mt large it may
not seem a great affair TO have ascer-
tanned precisely what part OF the elements
of a poisonous soil il is to which its
! poisonous nature is due; but it must
not be too hastily judged that this
knowledge will not involve an import
ant advance in the capacity to deal with
| this nOXious product OF the earth.-NeD
