skin diseases ut the College OF Physicians ana
Surgeons, exhibited Us an illustration the
"l.copad Boy" After the Professor mad OK
planned that the color of different races de-
pended on the amount of pigment contained

en- years old, was let in. He was scantily
dressed. His body is mottled with patch ot
white skin. Prof. Fox said that the white
spots had enlarged considerably since his hrst
examination OF the boy three years ago, ana
1t was safe to predict that the process would

that he WIS black at birth, and that white spots
began to appear when no was three years old.
He suffered no pain.

houses were destroyed, bridges washed away,

The Breaking Up.

In about six weeks nothing will be
left of Mr.. Hayes Administration but |
its bad name in history. Several 9th.
erwise respectable individuals have
held places in the Hayes Cabinet, but
the aroma of the original Fraud will
hang around them long after the Cabi.
net has gone to pieces. BY peculiar
dispensation Of justice, this Administers
ton will be remembered only because
It was fundamentally a thing to be de.
spised. 1t has done nothing to entitle
it to remembrance. With the excep.
ton OF, some scandals in two OF three Of
the departments, scandals which seem
small in comparison with those Of
Grants terms, the Hayes Administra-
ton has been q harmless enough con.

is common to the politician without
future and the marine rat hurried Mr..
Richard w. Thompson out pf the ship
three months before it gbsC down.
Erring Brother Key, and MI. McCrary,
the lawyer who wrote q treatise on
the law. of elections. had already been
provided for. What Is to become of the
rest?
Mr.. William NJ. Evarts, we suppose,
will resume the practice of the law In
this town, where his ability as an advp
cate is we'll known. In the summer
months he will repair to the shadow 81
Ascutney Mountain, where he cultiyates
a farm. There is no present reason to
believe that Mr.. Evarts expects to be.
come President in 1885.
Mr.. John Sherman will return to his
old seat in the Senate. He is useful
member Of that body. We should be
sorry to see him devoting his undivided
energies to the affairs of the First Ma.
tional Bank of New York.
The Hon. Alexander Ramsey OF Min.
nesota, who holds the martial honors
which Mr.. McCrary relihqu;shed, will,
no doubt, return to Minnesota and Ob.

Important to Texas Veterans.

Col. John NJ. Swisher, Of Austin. himsel
distinguished Texas veteran and trust
worthy and experienced business man, late
" issued an appeal to his fellow veterans Il
locate their land certificates in body, on
a plan which he thinks would be greatly ia
their advantage. We give the outlines Of
the plan in Col. swisher's own words as
follows; sr-
A company of capitalists are 10 furnish
the necessary funds TO locate the lands In
a body, in q certain unorganized county,
unexcelled In point Of healthfulness, fertility
of soil, and beauty Of scenery by any coun-
ty in the state, where towns may be laid out
and the value of the lands greatly enhanced,
the company bearing the expense Of locat.
ing, surveying. perfecting titles ETC., for
one half the land. To each OF those who
need and require II, loan Of 800 will be
made, the company taking atransfer Of the
entire certificate as security, the veteran
having the option Of returning the loan,
with 10 per cent interest, when the surveys
are ready TO be patented and receiving his
$40 acres of land or should he not desire to
keen the land. or the scheme Of thus l0cat-
ing prove unsuccessful, he viii receive an
additional 800, when the transfer to the en-
tire certificate will be absolute-thus OBJ
tanning for his certificate a sum not less
than $3.50, or $40 acres Of land.
Col. Swisher's plan having met the APP
proval Of Gov. Pease,, Hon. John Hancock
and other noted veterans, he appealed to
8. M. Swenson, the well-known banker Of
New York, to advance the necessary funds
to carry it out, with the following result,
which we copy from an exchange:
An Austin dispatch to the Nncs of the 9th
inst, says: "Col. John NJ. Swisher has n
letter today from s. NJ. SwensOn 4 Sons,
Of New York, stating that the arrangements
he proposed had been accepted. They
agree to locate in body all the veteran
land certificates granted by Texas for half
the land. agreeing to advance to the veter-
ans $3.50 for each certificate, which is $40
to $40 above the market price. Should
the location prove valuable In excess OF the
advance, the veterans to have the benefit by
refunding the cash paid" The plan is a
good one far as the veterans are concerned.
Col Swisher is anxious to obtain the post
Office address of all those holding certificates
and to hear from each as to his plans and
wishes in the premises. %

President GARFIELD No More.

President Garfield No More.
The President died at Long Branch
ON Monday night, as is stated in the
dispatches, "of sheer exhaustion.
His death was not anticipated by his
physicians up to within q very few
days before it occurred. On the con
trary they one and all asserted that
there was an amelioration in all his
symptoms and that he was in a state
of convalescence. Yet these men
doubtless stand at the head of their
profession in this country, and are
probably not surpassed in the world.
Could there be more startling co m
mentary on the fallibility Of judg-
ment of the medical fraternity!
On personal grounds, but mainly
as o national calamity, the death of
the president will create most pro-
found impression throughout the
Union. Ifhis successor were good
man, representing the people and
possessing their confidence, the case
would be very different. But such
is far from being the fact. As the
matter now stands, we have the pes
tilent faction headed by Conkling
and Grant, upon whom the people
have Just placed the seal of their most
emphatic condemnation, coming up
through one Of their tools, as the re-
suit of the deed of an assassin who
proclaimed as his object just this re-
suit, into the highest places of power
in the Nation. This is almost too
much to bear, and we confess, we are
alike too good democrat, and too
good a republican, to be hold such a
fraud and outrage upon the will Of
the people with any sort OF equanim-
ity.
But let us try and hope, even
against hope, that the gravity Of the
situation will awaken in the hearts of
our destined new administration a
new sense Of their responsibility,
which may cause them to respect the
rights and will Of the people.
AS to President Garfield, his fame
is secure. As q patriot, statesman,
scholar and Christian, and above all
as having joined the mobile army of
martyrs" to the cause of human iber-
ty and progress, his name will be
enbalmed in the memory of mankind
forever. His assassination and suf-
fering have already gone farther than
any former event towards cementin g
the restored Union in all sections of
the land, SO that even in his death
he served his country we'll. Then
let us not weep for him. In the
