Hay Fever and Peaches.

The latest theory, says the Washing ton Stor, in regard to hay fever is that it is caused by eating peaches. Some of the victims of hay fever, who have annually been compelled to go to the White Mountains for relief, have failed this year to suffer from it, and as there has been failure of the peach crop this year. they have been comparing notes, and conclude that the peach, and not new hay, is the cause of all their trouble. They find that the period of hay fever invariably occurs simultane- ously with the peach season, and when peach time is over, hay fever departs. It is also called to mind that Tn past seasons when peaches have been scarce, and, therefore, little eaten, there has been an almost utter absence of fever. Should this theory be established, the name of this af1icting dispensation will have to be changed from hay fever to peach fever.

A Practical Demonstration.

Not long ago bright little girl in the Sunday school of St. Luke, Nh. N. J., who was in the Calvary Catechism class, taught by Miss S., and evi- dently had reached the bottom facts of the lesson-the creation of man out of the dust of the earth-came running home to her mother, over-full of conf dence in the Scripture theory and her own reflective conclusions, and ex- claimed:
 "Oh, mother, I know it is all true what the catechism said about Adams being made out of the dust of the earth T know it is!'
 "Why?"
 Because I saw Aunt Emma whip Oracle, and saw the dust fly out oi her. I know it is so."
 Little Oracle had been playing with ashes.

Dangers of Electricity.

The death of Thomas Mcdonald, a waiter in a concert garden in New York City, who was killed while endeavoring to adjust defective electric light, teaches lesson that will probably have to be taught many more times if electricity comes into general use for Illuminating purposes that is, it cannot safely be meddled with by inexperienced persons. Gas is comparatively harmless except to the rustics who insist upon closing bed room doors and windows and blowing out the light; but electricity has an un- comfortable way of often using human body as 8 highroad over which to travel, and this generally proves disastrous to the body. The electric light companies will have to take this fact into consider ation, and devise means whereby jgno- rant, careless people may have their valuable lives preserved to them.

MONEY AND BRA1Ns.-It is told that one of the suitors of great heiress at Saratoga had the bad taste to say to her tbat, as far as money went, if she accepted him, the match would not be so very unequal, as he had quite a fortune of his own. She crushed him with the answer, My good sir, I have money enough now. What am look ing for is @ man with brains." A girl like that deserves to be rich.

LEFT SIDE, BACK OF THE PRESIDENTS HEART.
 The following is the official bulletin issued at Il o'clock on Tuesday:
 By previous arrangement, a post mortem examination of the body of President Garfield was made this after noon in the presence and with the as- sistance of Drs. Hamilton, Agnew, Bliss, Barnes, Woodward, Reyburn, Andrew H. Smith of Elberon, and Acting Assis- tant Surgeon D. s. Lamb of the Army Medical Museum, Washington. The operation was performed by Dr. Lamb. "It was found that the ball, after fracturing the right eleventh rib, had passed through the spinal column in front of the spinal canal, fracturing the body of thef lumbar vertebr@, driving a number of small fragments of bone into the adjacent soft parts, and lodging below the pancreas, about two inches and half to the left of the spine, and behind the peritoneum, where it had become completely encysted. The i'm mediate cause of death was secondary hemorrhage from one of the mesenteric arteries adjoining the track of the ball, the blood rupturing the peritoneum, and nearly pint escaping into the ab- dominal cavity. This hemorrhage is believed to have been the cause of the severe pain in the lower part of the chest complained of just before death. -"An abscess cavity six inches by four in diameter was found in the vicinity of the gall bladder, between the liver and the transverse colon, which were strongly sdherent. It did not involve the substance of the liver, and no com- munication was found between it and the wound. A long supplementary channel extended from the external wound between the loin muscles and the right kidney almost to the right groin. This channel, now known to be due to the burrowing of pus from the wound, was supposed during life to have been the track of the ball.
 "On examination of the organs of the chest evidences of severe bronchitis were found on both sides, with broncho- pneumonia of the lower portions of the right lung, and, though to 8 much less extent, of the left. The lungs contained no abscesses, and the heart no clots. The liver was enlarged and fatty, but free from abscesses. Nor were any found in any other organ except the left kidney, which contained near it's surface small abscess about one-third of an inch in diameter.
 In reviewing the history of the case in connection with the autopsy, it is quite evident that the different suppurating surfaces, and especially the fractured, spongy tissue of the vertebre, furnish 8 sufficient explanation of the septic condition which existed.

Poverty and Distress.

That poverty which produces the greatest dis tres' is not of the purse but of the blood. De prived of its richness it becomes scant and watery, a condition termed ane,nid ill medical writings.

the road along which we trace his
path to fame we see standing beside
him this enohant ting figure of faith

might unnerve him for the great
speech which he was shortly to dc

pathies that linked them to each
other. The vicinsge of Hughenden
has been full of touching anecdotes
Of their home felicity. Disraeli pur-
chased Hughenden manor from the
Norris family and Mrs. DisraeIi did
with it, while cha lived, what she
pleased. The handsome mansion
was more than half hidden by beeches
and elms, and the gardens and con-
servatories were exceeA rlV besuti-

for her social equals, and an open
hand for those Of poorer station. Al
her instance Mr. Disraeli long since
built convenient and well-appinted

Michaels Church, where they were to
be seen kneeling together every
Sunday when Parliament was not in
session. They both took a deep in

Tribune will explain what it means
when it uses the term "carpet~

et-baggers, the Northern men
and foreigners who have settled
among us as farmers, mechanics,
business men and professional men,
aiding US with their money, brains,
energy and enterprise to build up
the country, then we plead guilty.
We welcome to our section all such
men and will continue to welcome
them. Would that we had
one thousand times more
of them than we have
And we accord to them every right

who have lived here all our lives, in

Mrs. Disraeli, says the Boston
Traveller, brought to the Premier not
only a considerable fortune, but per
feet companionship. She was ten
years his senior, and if a passage in
''Endymoin'' is to be trusted as au-
to biographical, she relieved him of
fully half the embarrassment of pops
ping the question. To her influence
he always largely ascribed the sues
cess of his after life. "Woman will
do much for you," said Myra to
Endymoin Ferrars Disraeli's mask,
and certain it is that Benjamin Dis
raeli believed implicitly thvt they had
done more for him than all other in
struments combined. Truth is stran-
ger than fiction, it is the simple truth
that Mrs. Bridges WalIyams, of
Torquay, Devonshire, out of her
woman's admiration for his genius.
made him heir to her estate worth
some $4,000. She only exacted
from him in return his friendship
while she lived, and a promise thai
she should rest after her death
