Purity OF Water.

SOME verv instructive remarks were
made recently by Prof. Huxley. during
the criticism OF Il paper by DIR. Tidy. on
water for dietetic purposes. DIR. Tidy's
paper, Prof. Huxley thought, contained
a good deal of what might be called
biological turbdity," and he would,
therefore, endeavor to act as filter,
and state only what were demonstrable
facts. Diseases caused by what people,
not wisely, call germs. such as splenic
fever. pig-typhoid. etc., are caused in
variably by bodies OF the nature of bac-
terra, and these bodies could be cultiva-
ted through twenty or thirty genera
tons, and then. when given to the OK
or the pig. would invariably give rise to
the characteristic disease. We have no
reason even to imagine that anybody
capable of causing disease by such
means could be ANYTHING but ! body
having the nature of bacterium. Now,
bacteria are just AS much plants as
mushrooms or cabbages or the Yelling
tonia gigantea, SO that we know under
what conditions bacteria can live and
what they will do Bacteria can be
sown. and will thrive in Pasteur's solu-
IL
soil; and Prof. Roscoe, an eminent chem
ist, thinks it doubtful whether there was
any known method to ascertain whether
if drop of this solution were placed in
a gallon Of water its constituents could
be estimated. Every cubic inch of such
water would contain fifty thousand to
one hundred thousand bacteria. and one
drop of it would be capable Of exciting
putrefactive fermentation in any sub
stance capable of undergoing that fer
mentation. The human body may be
considered as such substance, and we
may conceive of water containing
such organisms which may be as pure
as can be as regards chemical analysis,
and vet be as regards the human body
as deadly as prussic acid. am aware.
continued Prof. Huxley, that this is a
terrible conclusion. but i. is true, and if
the public are guided by percentages
they may often be led astray. The real
value of a determination of the quantity
of organic impurity in water is that
by it shrewd notion can be obtained
as to what has had access to that water.
If it be proved that sewage has been
mixed with it, there is a very great
chance that the eXcreta of some dis
eased persons may be there also. On
the other hand. water may be chemically
gross, yet do harm to no one. the great
danger being in the diseased germs.
FRANCE is at present suffering from a
plague of wolves, no less than half mill
ion of these animals being estimated to
exist in France at the present moment.
The damage inflicted by these creatures
in their noctural raids from forest and
mountain is estimated at about 50,000,-
600 francs annually. The large number
of wolves is the more surprising as a
regular body known as the Louveteric,
and numbering close upon 1000 men,
is maintained specially to keep down
wild beasts; but from the returns pub
lished it appears that only $50 wolves
were killed in 1879. Two bills have
been introduced on the subject. and It
is proposed to place high price on the
head of each wolf-as high as zoe
francs in the case of known "man-,
eater"

GALENA, Aug. 2S.-Last night Hon. Philo
A. Orion, in a speech to the republican mass
meeting, gave his reasons foy leaving the
democratic party with which he had acted
for twenty years. He introduced Gen. Grant
who said:
l did not intend to speak wien | came here
tonight. l am very much like Judge Orion;
l have never made a republican speech in
my life, or any kind of political speech. |
am where it would require some time and
much preparation to make one of any length.
l can, of course, go a little further than Judge
Orion and say that l never voted a republican
presidential ticket in my life, and but one
democratic ticket. and that many years ago,
when was quite a young man. But | will
pledge you my word here tonight that if |
am spared, although l shall be at som dis
lance from you on the second day of Novem-
Der, | shall return to Galena to cast one re-
publican vote for president Of the United
States, and l hope the city of Galena will
cast a round republican vote, such as it has
never cast before.

THE BEAVERHEAD TICKET.

This morning in publishing the official
proceedings of the Beaverhead county con-
vention we have all augury of success in the
fall election in the first class ticket it presents.
AS the first county to hold its convention I'M
der the new apportionment, Beaverhead leads
off in claiming the right of nominating one
of the four councilmen to be elected by the
district comprising the counties of Deer
Lodge, Beaverhead and Missoula. This
right should be conceded, and Beayerhead's
claim in making il will secure our support,
if the question be made an issue. Beaver.
head and Mlssoula should each make a nomi-
nation for one councilman, leaving the re-
naming two to Deer Lodge. This plan is
certainly preferable to that of having the
council nominations made by a district dele
CATION composed of the delegates sent 10 the
territorial convention from the several coun-
ties forming a district. A district delegation
is open to the objection that each county
would be represented in it by very few dele
gates, and consequently there would be more
opportunity for the exercise of favoritism, or
! for Grading" than there would be in the
full representation of a county convention.
For instance, in a district delegation
representing Deer Lodge, Bannack and
Missoula, the county Of Beaverhead would
be represented by only nine delegates. A
councilman would be awarded Beaverhead,
as a matter of course, and in the selection OF
the proper man TO fill the office, we think the
nine delegates would be much more apt to
fail in correctly representing their county,
thar would the county convention in regular
session. For this reason we hope to see Mis-
soula ollow the example set by B~eayerhead

A TRIAL.
Scene in n Kentucky Court of Justice.

Scene In n Kentucky Court OF Justice,
LOUISVILLE, Aug. 2S.-A thrilling scene
occurred in the court room at Nicllolasyille
last evening. For a week past james Ii. Ar
mold has been on trial for the murder Of his
brother in-law, Hon. Robert Little, at Rich
mond, last winter.
e.. j. Bronston, for the state, repIied to
Senator VOORHEES,, Of Arnold's counsel, and
i'll his summary denounced IA part of the tes-
tl'nony for the defense as a forgery, when
Senator VOORHEES, stopped him, saving:
MAY it please the court, if such testimony
as that has been Introduced in this court I
denounce the statement as untrue"
BroIston, turning to Senator VOORHEES,.
emphatically said there was such evidence.
They then disputed with each other for
some time, when j. Il. Sewell, a friend of the
prisoner, said nothing of the kind had heep
offered. Then some auditor sbouted ,b., !.
was "a damned lie." A woman then
screamed and there was a liotous and con-
fused scene. Meantime a brother of ,ho
prisoner had presented a pistol at the heart If
Prosecuting Attorney Bronston, and profan.-
ly declaring he had got him now, was ahou,
to lire when a bystander grasped the pistol
and turned it aside. Bronston called for .
pistol, but no one responded. Judge Buck.
ner commanded the officers to control the
crowd but they were nearly powerless. He
summoned his clerk and the bystanders -
dlsarm a man who was fourishing a pistol
which they succeeded in doing, and the mar
was sent to prison. Order being restored the
jury and the prisoner, who had been ,ockod
up together, were brought out. Voorhees,
and Bronston then explained that their dis.
pute had been the result of a misunderstood
ing. Arnold's wife clasped her hands ahou,
his neck and sat upon his knee, refusing -
leave him. "

The ticket, viewed In regard to its personnel,
is unobjectionable. Mr.. Browne, the nomi-
nee for the Council, has already had ample
legislative experience in years gone by, and
is furthermore a gentleman who commands
the full confidence of his fellow citizens ire
spective of party affiliations. Mr.. Rogers and
Mr.. Davis, nominated for the House, are EN-
inently we'll qualified to discharge the duties
of the legislator and Beaverhead's interests,
or Montana's interest, will be safe in their
hands. Mr.. Rote, county assessor for the
past two years, discharged the duties
of that office so satisfactorily that in
recognition of his services he now
receives the nomination for the offices of
sheriff and assessor, whose functions were
united in one person by the action of our
legislature at its last regular session. For
probate judge and &c oDicie clerk and record.
er, Mr.. Al. E. Graeter is renominated, a con-
vincing proof that lie has already done good
and efficient services in the Offices in question.
For county treasurer, Mr.. Shineberger re-
ceives the nomination as a fitting acknowledge
ment of the highly satisfactory manner in
which he attended to his duties while serv-
ing as deputy treasurer under Mr.. Dart, a
position in which he really performed all the
work falling to the share of the treasurer.
In Mr.. A. E. Mayhem we meet with another
district officer, and we are pleased to find by
their nomination that the democrats of
Beaverhead are so fully in accord with their
fellow democrats of Deer Lodge and Missou-
la touching that gentleman's efficiency in the
office far which he has been named.
The anti-subsidy, an~ti-eXemption resolu-
ton is clear and to the point. 1t covers all
the ground, and the legislator who under
takes in face of those instructions to vote in
favor of any railroad aid scheme cannot
plead in excuse that the wishes of his con-
s%tituelits as expressed IN convention We're
vague and indefinite. Let Deer Lodge dem
Gratis follow this good example and be equally
definite in expressing their wishes regarding
rail- DAD aid.
