Wh0Oping Cough and Fungus.

Some years ago M. Svetzerich made the assertion that whooping cough wal caused by certain fungus. This asser tion seems to have been confirmed by the researches of M. Yschamer, who says he has found certain lower organ isms in the spittle of whooping cougl patients-organisms not met with in any other disease accompanied by cough ano approximation. Examining the spittle afterit has been short time suspended in water, there are found corpuscles about the size of pins head, of white or slightly yellowish hue, and these show, besides apathetical cells, net. work frame of polygonal meshes, with rounded greenish sporules; at more advanced stage, colorless hyphe are seen, and large sporules, yellowish ol brownish red, sometimes even rami6ed. It is interesting to learn that the cham. pignons in question are quite identical with those which, by their. agglomera. ton, form the black points on the skins of oranges and the parlngs of certain fruits, especially apples. Thus, M Yschamer, by inoculating rabbits with this dark matter, or even causing it te be inhaled by men, produced fits ol coughing several days in duration, and presenting all the characters of the con vulsive whooping cough.

A Slow Train.

Louis Gaylord Clark, in the old KnickerbocEer, used to tell this story of railroad down in Georgia. He went down there gunning, and came to short line of road on which was run 8 single car, the forward end of which was par titioned off for luggage. He took his dog in the car with him and put him under the seat. Presently the conductor came along and insisted that the dog should go into the baggage-room, which, after some altercation, was done but here the baggage-master demanded a fee of fifty cents. which was denounced as swindle, a "put up job " between the conductor and the baggage-master, and that sooner than pay it he would tie the dog to the train and let him "work his passage" The conductor assented,
 and the dog was hitched to the rear of the train. The dog, so O. says, kept along easily with the train. but the con-
 ductor began to get uneasy, making fre- quent trips to the engineer, urging him so increase the speed of the train, and back agaln to Watch the eftect upon the
 dog. The latter began to show signs of fatigue, but after while caught his "second wind" and was keeping along as before. The conductor now ordered the engineer to heave all the coal into the furnace and stir up the fire, which being done, the speed was perceptibly increased. The conductor again went to the rear of the car to observe the effect, but the dog had disappeared,
 whereupon he triumphantly called C-'s
 attention to the fact. The latter, after taking glance at the situation, quietly pointed to crack in the floor of the car,
 "and there," says he, "was the dog, comfortably trotting along under the car, and licking the grease from one of
 the axle boxes p

Washington Society.
VIEW OF IT NOT BEFORE UNDERSTOOD.

If we may judge from 8 Washington letter the politicians have but little weight in society there. He says One does not ever meet two dozen members of both houses in these circles. Only the smaller half of the members of the Cabinet even belong to this. The ex- planation of this characteristic state of things is particularly to be sought in the fact that Congress is composed for the most part of lawyers from the smaller towns who do not feel at home in genteel society, and have as little taste for it as desire to enter into it. Moreover, large percentage of them have risen from the ranks, and in that class the women who were married in their young years are not apt to be fitted for highly cultivated society. Money plays in this as little role as official position. Where the coarse Senator can never receive an invitation the most subordinate writer of one of the departments is gladly seen'guest if he can dress decently and is educated and entertaining. Mrs. A., who receives at tea about o'clock every day. has al- ways-a half dozen or more guests. and yet her husband has neither any official position nor does he keep up great es. tablishment. On the other hand Mrs. E., who has spent and does spend a great deal of money, made some calls upon ladies in society; they unani. mously declared it a piece of impu. dence, and did not return her calls be. cause she had been connected with the l lobby.

A Broken Down Speculator.
A STRANGE STORY OF STOCK eAMB11N,

On Wall street there is to-day to be seen an. individual who illustrates in strong language the dangers of reckless speculations. He is middle aged and very shabbily attired but gentlemanly appearing Englishman, apparently in feeble health. In an exceedingly mod. est manner he quietly slips into the buildings about the Stock Exchange and nervously warns his trembling half. clad limbs. Usually after remaining Q few moments he advances to the gold and stock indicator, and after running the tape through his fingers and exam ing the prices current of the day, dons his ragged gloves and departs.
 Some years ago he came to New York from England, the possessor of large amount of capital. After making few heavy ventures in the gold and stock markets his funds gradually melted away and with them also disappeared his reason. He has no relatives in this country, and some of his countrymen oi means, who recently learned his con. dition, offered to assist him or send him back to his relatives in England. Blu, he is too proud to accept charity, and SO he lives as best he --can on tempo. rary loan of 50 cents per week, which he was reluctantly prevailed upon to accept from gentleman who forces it upon him every Monday morning. In con versation with chance acquaintance recently this poor old man with childish glee related how he had enjoyed g glorious dinner on Christmas day, when he expended 15 cents. On New Years day he gave the landlady of his wretche6 lodging house in West Broadway 1( cents extra for the privilege of lying abed all day.

The True Way to Invigorate.

Tho true way to invigorate feeble system is to infuse activity into the operations of the stomach, that wondrous alembic in which the food is transmitted into the constituents of blood, the chief element of our vitality. complishes this end, is greatly to be preferred to many so called tonics, useful indeed as ap- petizers, but imperative as aids to digestion and assimilation. This sterling cordial, while it invigoratos the stomach, healthfuly stimu- lates the liver, bowels, ard kidney s, ensuring the escape through the regular channels of effete aud useless matter thrown off by the sys- tenn, which is thus purified as well as invigor- ated by it. Its tonic influence is soon made manifest by an increase of vital energy and a more active and regular discharge of every physical function, and it has the further effect of rendering the system unassailable by ma larial epidemics,

The Scandinavian Farmers.
WHY so MANY THOU SANDS OF THEM SET
 TILED IN THE NORTHWEST.

The Scandinavians are the most hardy, thrifty and economical of the immi- grants to this country. They have set tied in Wisconsin, Minnesota and North erti Iowa in large numbers and cul- tiyated farms. Most of them came here very poor, andwith little, more than the clothes on their backs, settled down on a farm, from 40 to 80 acres, built sod houAIes and went to work. They spent nothi ug, saved everything-paid as they went along, and as natural conse- quenca have grown to be wealthy and independent. When first starting out in life, with only their hands to depend | upon, their thrifty habits were wont to be characlized by their more reckless neighbors in the following extravagant language "They sell what they can what they can't sell they give to the hogs, and what the hogs won't eat they eat themselves" {"
 Among the large number of Scandi- navians who have gone into the States named few are not to-day Independent of the world. And they have added millions to the capital of their adopted States. Where Eastern people and those of other nationalities have failed, | the Scandinavians have succeeded.
 I MT. A. V. H. Carpenter, the General Ticket Agent of the Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad Company, was probably the first among the railroad magnates of the Northwest to discover the bene fiji that his section would derive from these hardy settlers, and to encourage thei1 settlement in territory that his lines would reach. MT. Carpenter knew that thousands of these people landed in the
 United States too poor to get away from the seaboard, but he was not the man tc let them stay there. His agents were instructed and did in all cases see that
 the poor immig rants were sent forward.
 If they had no money it made no differ
 ence-on they went. At many of hi
 depots provisions were piled up in large
 quantities to feed the hungry, and tn,
 whole thing was good harvest for the
 newcomers.
 Good news travels as we'll as bat
 news, and ten years ago the immigrant
 cars of the St. Paul road were crowded daily with Scandinavians going to theil new homes. Other lines and other sec ] tions wondered why the inducementl they offered did not attract attention, but they could only wonder.
 When the great rush was over ant MT. Carpenters tactics were show much surprise was expressed that he should be so liberal at 50 great an ex
 pense. "It is not charity" {" was his re ply. "Every one of these men will be- come farmers, and every one of then will in two years have from 150 to 50( bushels of grain to send over our lines.
 Such was the case, and the great rail road has realized millions of dollar' through the foresight of one of it officers that would not have been touched for years. There is little question bu : for the act of Mir. Carpenter thousand of these men would have gone in othe directions, and the benefit his road i
 now deriving from them would hay been lost forever.

A Printers Dream.

A printer sat in his office chair, his boots were patched and his coat thread bare, and his face looked weary and worn with care. While sadly thinking of business debt old Morpheus slowly around him crept, and before he knew it he soundly slept, and dreaming, he dreamed that he was dead; from trouble and toll his spirit had fled, and that not even now cow-bell tolled for the peace able rest of the cowhide sole. As he wandered about among the shades that smoke and scorch in lower Hades, he shortly observed an iron door that creak- ingly swung on hinges ajar but the entrance was closed with red-hot bar, and Satan himself stood peering out waiting for travellers thereabout, and thus to the passing printer spoke :- "Come in and tarry 8 while, my dear it shall cost you nothing, and never fear. This is the place where cook the ones who never pay their subscrip- tion sums for though in life they may escape, they'll find when they are dead it is too late will show you the place where I melt them thin, with red-hot chains and scraps of tin, and also where I comb their head, with broken glass and molten lead /; if of refreshments they only think, there's boiling water for them to drink {; there's the red-hot grindstone to grind their nose and the red-hot rings to wear on their toes and if they mention they don't like fire, ] sew up their mouths with red-hot wire
 and then, dear sir, you should see then squirm, while I roll them over to cool and turn" With these last words the prin ter awoke, and thought it all 8 practica Joke but still, at times, so real did i seem, that he cannot believe it is all { dream, and often he thinks, with { chuckle and grin, of the fate of those who never pay the printer.
