Are They Short of Sand !

The Quincy Herald has repeated and
emphasized its disgraceful assaults upon
the dying President. Last week it said ::
We believe Guiteau to be Just as honorable
as the man he shot, and mighty sight lie
dangerous to the country At large than the
plausible. smooth-tongued, nnprincipled man
who, with a smffio and pions groan, would furn
from prayer TO take a tribe, commit perjury.
or steal q Presidency.
These ruffianly words we're rcbuked,
as they deserved TO be, by the press OF
the whole country without distinction q
party. 1t was supposed that the Qain-
cy miscreant had been shamed into
silence. But he has not been He has
attempted to Justify the oflense. Tie
HerGid of Tuesday contains an article OF
two columns filled with twad e aud
foul abuse OF the President The vii
lannon's words Of the first article are
quoted and stuck to, and the scurvy
scoundrel further says:

tv and ghoulishness, as is a disgrace to
journalism, disgrace to society, sean
dal to his party, and such as was never
before exhibited b. public journal IN
any civilized community" The object
of the Heroid r1ifiian plainly is TO make
himself notorious, even though it be IN
an infamous way. Among 10000, 600
people in all the land, no other man has
deemed this a fitting time to utter such
disgraceful and slandcTous sentiments,
much loss to spread them broadcast ia q
newspaper 1t was reserved fora Quincy
Copperhead editor to sound depths of
degradation in the Democratic party
that have neverlefore becnrcGched. The
vile Quincy creature, IN concluding his
screod, defiantly asks ais Republican
friends in the neighoorhood, What
are you going TO do about it?" Thet IS
precisely the question il is desired to
have answered by Gen. Garfeld's com
rades in arms in Adams county. "What
are they going TO do about it?" Shail

yalue OF the ensilage at actual cost of
production, and then balancing against
it hay and corn at market values instead
OF at real cost as in the Case of the silo
fodder. Accuracy seems wanting in too
many instances, and upon the very few
impartial experiments that have been
instituted conviction seems to settle that
there is no such great gain as claimed.
In no instance have we seen any item in
regard to lost fertility, for an acre of
land that produces seyenty-fve tons ~
of corn fodder must be exhausted almost
beyond any drain of dozen grass crops
that would produce twenty tons of drv
1000. just wnau the future OF the sIIO Is
tn be in American agriculture is uncer-
tain, bat that it can establish itself by
any unjust claims or end in other than
disappointment unless accuracy can be
maintained is doubtful, and, ii success
does follow, it is not the base upon which
our agricultural prosperity must be built
upon, but In any event can only become
part OF many successful industries. -

An incident is related Of Bill which
happened IN Wichita. BIZ rode into the
town dressed in complete suit of buck

call him, roughly catch little girl about
IS years old by the shoulder and So

her arm angrily, and just then the scene
fell under Bills personal inspection.

probably no other instance of poet
who was so incapable of sound poetical
criticism. His extravagant praises of
Pope may, perhaps, be partly explained
by his love of paradox, and by his wish
to mortify contemporary rivals. With
Shakespeare and Milton he had little
sympathy, and it is difficult to believe
that he could have cared for Dante. His
highflown eulogy on Goethe was not
founded on any knowledge of the poets
works, for Byron was ignorant of Ger
man. 1t was to his credit that personal
friendship enabled him to appreciate
the wonderful genius of Shelley. Sat

The Terrible PelIagra,

1t IS about $50 years since the pellagra
made its appearance in Europe, first in
Spain, afterward in Trance and Italy,
and later in Greece and other countries.
In Italy the scourage has assumed vast
proportions. In the province of Ber-
gamo alone, in the wear 1878, at least
20, 900 persons, it is calcula ted, were af-
fiicted with the terrible epidemic, almost
10 per cent. OF the agricultural popula-
ton of that province. The effect of the
malady is a complete degradation of the
physical and intellectual powers. The
greater part OF the victims either die in
tue lunatic asylums aud hospitals or
commit suicide, leaving the seeds OF the
malady Ga sad heritage) to their children.
This is terrible picture, and Signor
Alborghetti, member of the Provincial
Commission of Bergamo, from whose
report, lately published, gather the
above particulars, advocates the most
urgent and stringent measures on the
part of the Government to arrest the
ravaGes of the disease As it has been
incontestably proved that the pellagra
made its appearance and increased with
the increased cultivation of maize, that
whatever the difference of soil, climate,
race, social regulations, manners and
customs-those places only are infected
where the food OF the agricultural popu-
lation consists chiefly in maize flour in
the shape Of polenta or bread, AMI that
even those already affected with the
malady are speedily cured if their diet
be varied with meat, vegetables, etc,
Signor Alborghetti advocates a radical
reform in the food of the agricultural
laborers. He proposes that economical
kitchens, superintendent by provincial
commissions and regulated according to
the size of the parishes and the number
Of persons afflicted with file disease,
should be established, and That La sdical
officers of the parish, at the first sign of
the pellagra invading hitherto I'm
touched district, should have the power
to give tickets to the agricultural labor
ers, enabling them to partake Of the
benefits of such economical kitchens.
This, he says, is the best, most rapid
and efficient way to put an end to the
epidemic. Naples Cor. London Daily
