AN OLD WING IN MARBLE.


Probably Jacob Collamer never ex-
pected to stand in marble in the national
hall of heroes at Washington. He was
not statuesque figure like Ethan Allen,
nor a giant in craftsmanship like Web
ster, or an accomplished citizen of the
world and champion of human right like
Sumner. He was simply an old-fash
Toned country lawyer. college bred and
we'll possessed of his profession, who rose
easily to be judge of the supreme court
of his state, and then passed to years of
high and valuable service in both branch
es of Congress ; man of blameless life
and high moral standard, whig getting
his eyes open gradually to the encrmity
of the sin of slavery and helping to
found the republican party, which Grad
icated it. He simply showed in his
| life how influential and how useful
legislator may be made by the legitimate
use of ordinary talents and common OPP
portunities. r
Alexander H. Stevens in his brief but
!. interesting speech in memoriam of Col
lamer says he remembered we'll his first
speech in the House,-an argument only
80 minutes long on the constitutionality
of the law permitting the election of
congressman by districts instead of on
general ticket That speech, "pointed,
clear, logical and conclusive" put him
in the front rank of debaters. Clear
thinking and clear talking made him
what he was. Stephens regards him as
Socratic Summer called him the screen

that he knew the boundary between the
known and the unknown. He ''neyer

The republicans in the Pennsylvania
Legislature have at length got release
from their deadlock over the senator
ship by agreeing upon John |. Mitchell,
now serving his second term in Congress
from the 10Th district and said to be
acceptable to both wings of the party.
Mitchell is very dark horse, only AZ
years of age, man of good legal abili-
ty and considerable legislative expert
ence at home. SO far as can be judged
from the sketch of him in the congress
sional directory. He will be elected to
the Senate at the most favorable time in
life, and has a chance to make a career
| there if he has the stuff in him for it.

The New York Observer. in speaking
of the new administration of Gen. Gar
field. says:
We would like to see Mr.. Garfield come
to his place of power-and why is he not
so coming free from all personal
impediments; with the wisest, purest
and strongest men he can find, to sustain
his government. We do not expect him
to go out of his own party for political
friends. But we do not know of one man
or one state that has any claim to office,
and we trust the fourth or fifth of March
will show that he thinks so too, and has
thought so all along, while he has kept
his own counsel.
He will not forget that he comes to the
head of a Christian people. He has indie
pendence and Christian principles. The
temptations to swerve from the right line
will be very great. If it is hard for a rich
man to enter into the kingdom, it is hard
er for president of the United States to
stand fast in his integrity when evil men
and seducers plead, threaten and cajole.
How grand a place Mr.. Garfield would
make for himself in history and how
| splendidly he would shine on his country,
| if his record in Office should be signally
that of God-fearing, incorruptible, Chris
| tian gentleman, unapproachable to bad
men, and towering far above the petty
plans and bargains and balancings of par
| ty policy! There are grand examples in
history of such rulers, and there is no
1 ruler in the list of kings, emperors, OF
| presidents, who had a finer opportunity
1 to make his administration renowned in
the eyes of men for its virtue and high
moral tone, than Mr.. Garfield has now.
| We are confident that he will respect the
Lords day, as the constitution and laws
of the United States specifically intend
that he shall. We believe that his house
| will be ordered in the manner becoming
one whose example is to exert mighty
moral influence on the country. And We
would be woefully disappointed if he suf
fered any one to hold Office under him
when the power of removal was with him
on whom suspicion Of corruption justly
fell. 1t ought to be felt in all the ramifi
cations of power from the Capitol to thu
remotest postoffice, that magistrates holt
the sword to execute justice, and the eyi
doer shall not stand.

Garfield will depart from the prece-
dent of reading his inaugural, if we may
believe the Mentor correspondent of the
Cleveland Leader, and deliver an ex-
temporaneous address.

The Boston Herald reports Senator
Edmunds as being earnestly in favor of
an extra session of Congress, SO that
committees can be formed and Southern
Republicans claiming seats in the House,
out of which they have been bulldozed,
may be protected in the Investigations
necessary to establish their rights.

Parasites In Food and Drink.

M. Milne-Edwards has recently eS-
pressed some interesting views sus-
gested by the discussions concerning
trichina, respecting the hygienic ques-
lions which are connected with the es-
tablishment of colonies of intestinal
worms, or microbes, within human
bodies. He believes that certain re-
ligious preeepts and certain established
1sages, among people whose civilization
is very ancient, are based upon ac
quaintance with the inconvenience
that may result from the alimentary use
OF particular meats or waters. He thus
deduces, from the aptitude of the hog
to transmit his parasites to man, the
reason for the prohibition of pork among
the Israelites and Mohammedans, and
for the Biblical distinction between pure
and impure animals. He also attributes
to the very ancient recognition OF anal
ogous facts the general use OF hot
drinks, Ike tea in China and other
countries of the extreme East, where
the natural waters are often charged
with noxious animalcules or polluted
bv unclean animals. AS bearing on this
point, he cites the ravages caused IN
Cochin-Ch by a microscopic, eel,
which produces persistent endemic
diarrhea. These animals have facul-
ty of multiplication in the human intes-
tine. that is illustrated by the fact that
a single patient is said to have evacuated
more than hundred thousand OF them
within twenty-four hours! The simplest
prudence should suggest the expedlency
of boiling the drinking water wherever
they abound. -Popular(Scaence Mo'stetq.'

The brief telegram conveying intelligence
Of the Presidents death was received at so
late an hour on the 18th that it was not gem
orally known throughout the country until
the next morning. In nearly every city and
