TRACING EPIDEMICS.

Some time ago the authorities of one
of the largest hospitals in London took
measures to ventilate all the drains and
sewer in connection with their institu-
tions, and previous to which movement
py@mia and erysipelas had almost driv-
en- the medical staff to despair. When
the whole of the ventilation was COM
pleted. and as soon as the pressure was
removed from the traps of the closets and
lavatories, no fresh cases were found to
occur, and for months the hospital wards
were free from both erysipelas and pyamia
Suddenly, however, there was fresh
outbreak of these diseases, but it appear
en- that the epidemic was confined to one
of the surgical words, built apart from the
main building, On the pavalion plan, and
having only one story. Close investiga-
tion proved that the ventilation pipe in
this wing had been stopped by careless
workman: and, on thus being remedied,
all traces ofthe epidemic disappeared

CARL ON THE INDIANS

New YORK, March 15.-At meeting
tonight, for the purpose of raising funds
for the education of young Indians. ex-
Secretary of the Interior Carl Schurz. in
troduced by Rev. DR.. Hitchcock, presi-
dent of the Union Theological Seminary,
said that in his administration as secre-
tary of the interior, he could look back
with pleasure to the interest he had
taken in the Indians A wise statesman
OF the past thought the Indian question
could be best settled by granting them
a reservation on which they could live
IN their own way unmOlested. This
theory was exploded, and he advocated
giving them individual tracts of land the
same as whites, thus by degrees making
them good citizens of Indian decent.
They were capable of education, and
made good traders and small farmers. In
educating them it was not only necessary
to teach them how to write but also how
to live, and make living. When taught
though they returned to their families.
they did not as many supposed, return to
their former way of living, but were
honored and looked up to by others.
There were but $4,000 of these children,
and though it might be the work of time,
they could be educated. The reserya-
ton, he thought, would eventually be
taken from them, as in the march of
railroads, and settlers westward quarrels
would arise and the government would
decide in favor of progress. Most of
these were honest and industrious, many
being employed by the government as
freighters. They should be taught small
industries as well as being educated.
This was the work of time and could not
be perfected hastily. He advocated sup
port of the schools at Hampton and
Carlisle. Gen. Miles and Bishop Whip
pie also spoke in favor of the object o
the meeting.

ANILLEGAL AMOUR.

New YoRY, March 12.-Berlin dis
patches state Count Herbert Bismark has
certainly eloped with the Princess Eliza
beth, of Carolath Beuthen. Both arrived
at Messina several weeks ago. The
princess is the wife Of Prince Charles,
Carolath Beuten, Count of Schonarch
and chief of one of the first Prussian
families, and an hereditary member of
the upper house. The sfaithless wife is a
step-sister of Princess Herman, of Hartz-
feldt Trachenberg, head of Catholic
family bearing the title since 1741, and
dauc hter of the Countess of Reichen-
bach. She has one daughter, Princess
Sybilla, now fourteen years of age.
Prince Caroloth, wha is Sc, has left par
Lament and retired to his estates in
Silesia. He will commence a divorce
suit. Count Herbert Bismark, whose
age is 81, was formerly secretary to his
father, who had destined him as chief as
sistant and eventual successor. 1t is said
this domestic calamity is the chief cause
of Bismark's recent irritability and bad
humor

THE CENTER uF THE WORLD.

"New York pill be the center of the
world" said Nj Jay Gould to a Calves
ton reporter. Taking down a map he
continued: "Here are the two cables we
shall lay this summer from Newfound-
land to Ireland. That gives the connec-
ton with Europe and Asia. On the other
side of the continent we propose to start
from San Francisco and put down a
cable to the Sandwich Islands. Thence
we shall lay one on this line (pointing
it out on the map) down to Australia
and another from the Sandwich Islands
in almost direct line to Japan. And
up here Qaying his finger ON Puget
Sound) we propose to start with another
cable, carrying it across Behring's Sea to
Kamtschatka, which will open up the
Russian telegraph system to us, and
thence to China. In addition, it is in
tended to further develop the West In
dia cable service and connect the east
and west coasts of South America with
New York. The chain of cables, COM
pleted with the heart of the organization
in that city, makes New York the center
of the world"

MALONE AS A TEACHER AND A
SOLDIER

A correspondent of the Louisville
Courier-J Journal, who was pupil under
Senator Malone at the Rappahannock
Military Academy in 184S, and who was
intimately associated with him for ten
years, says: 81 we'll remember how he
appeared the evening he arrived at the
academy to take charge of the scientific
and military departments. If you can
conceive ola tarantula with green goggles
on, you have the effect made upon me
by the first sight of this remarkable man.
Eighty or ninety pounds of animal mat
ter mostly covered with hair and green
goggles, striking amazement and terror
into the hearts of the wondering, gazing
boys, who had up to this time been
masters of the situation. At this time,
in former social life he was as one para
lyzed. He was difident to degree of
actual suffering, He impaired more in
formation in few months than other
teachers had done in years. I saw him
sitting girl-fashion, on his horse at Gettys-
burg just as the first battle of the general
engagement of the second day was about
to begin. He was in a field alone, away
from his command, calmly regarding the
enemy on the opposite heights. Ap-
preaching, | said; General, I think
we are on the eve of great victory
why, d-n it, sir, we are on the eve of
the most disastrous defeat of the war;

THE WINTER WHEAT CROP.

CINCINNATI, March 16.-The Price
Current will publish tomorrow an ex-
tended report on the winter wheat crop
embracing the report from nearly four
hundred points in the winter wheat belt.
The Prince Current says: Taking all
the evidence into consideration, with an
indication of some increase in the average
the crop may now be considered general
ly promising with the prospect for yiel
not much, if any, less than the proceed
ing years winter crop. In Ohio the re-
turns indicate pretty fair condition of
the crop, and general favorable out
look. There is more complaint in Indi-
ana and the outlook is considerably
impaired. 1t is generally less favorable
than a year ago. In Illinois favorable
reports predominate and with an appar-
ent increase in acreage. The prospect
seems to favor an outcome equal to last
year. Missouri and Kansas reports are
almost uniformly favorable and sh ow an
increased acreage. In Michigan and
in winter wheat sections of Wisconsin
and Iowa there is much uncertainty yet;
but the prevailing condition seeming less
favorable than year ago, excepting per-
haps, in Iowa. Kentucky is less favor
able and Tennessee more promising than
year ago. Unfavorable weather now
and in the early future may considerably
impair the outlook; but on the other
hand, the favorable conditions of weather
which now exists, if these continue,
few weeks will do great work in bringing
into promise of new promising portions of
the crop.

MASSACRED BY INDIANS.

SANTA FE. N NJ, March 1.-THE
Apache renegades under Mana, made a
raid on a wagon train near Puerto-de-
Chocolate, N. NJ, and killed thirty men
and burned the wagons.
DENVER, COL, March 17.-Reports
received here of the Apache raid in New
Mexico state that on the morning of
the 18th instant, eleven men, three
women and boy, who had passed on
ahead of the train were set upon by the
Indians and killed. One boy only es-
capped. He returned to inform the
people with the train, who, coming up,
discovered the dead bodies lying scalp
less and naked on the ground. Subse-
quently the Indians attaced the train and
killed those who had been left after the
first slaughter.

QUEEN VICrORIA'S PIGS

The Queen of England keeps pigs, but
the Queen of England's pigs are on an
equality in the eye of the law with any
other woman's pigs. This has been
proven in the Justices Court at Slough.
Slough happens to be in Buckingham
shire, and that county was not long ago
proclaimed an 'infected district" under
the provisions Of the act aimed at the
cattle plague. The royal bailif, ignorant
of the fact, drove six royal pigs and one
royal calf to the market at Slough, where
the vigilant and fearless bailiff' had no
license, sent the animals to the pound
and hailed the royal servant before the
local magistrates, by whom he was fined
with costs. Inasmuch at Mr.. Gladstone
is Premier, and not Lord Beaconsfeld,
we are in a position to assure our readers
that the fine and costs will be promptly
stopped out of her Majesty's wages, and
not remitted, and that the village Hamp-
dens who with dauntless courage pound
the royal baihf and the pigs, will not
be beheaded with a blunt ak for lese-
majeste, or even removed from the COM
mission of peace, which would infallibly
nave Ue0u lHelT late unQ6r COnS6rVa-
tive Administration.
The incident is not quite SO romantic
as Sir William Gascoigne sending Prince
Hal to prison for lending him box on
the ear, but it has the superior advantage
of being true. Hereafter the Royal Bail
iff will have to he careful, or, in the
words of the popular proverb, he may
find that he has brought his pigs to
pretty market.

ONE OF BISMARK'S TRICKS.

A gentleman recently connected with
the Emigration Commission of the
Canadas, tells a story about Bismark
which we do not remember to have seen
anywhere in print. The German Chan
cellor has for a long time been trying to
check the heavy immigration of the SUBJ
jects of the Empire TO America, and re-
sorted to a curious means to stop that to
the Dominion. He found that certain
laws of Canada prohibited music and the
sale OF beer on Sunday, and knowing the
Teutonic disposition to make Sunday a
holiday, Bismark caused abstracts of
those laws to be scattered broadcast over
the empire. The result was that emf
grants turned toward the more liberal
states of our Northwest.

OATH OF THE TRANSVAA BOERS.

On the 18th Of April, 1879, the second
anniversary of the English invasion a
large number of the leading Transvaal
Beers held meeting and subscribed to
the following oath; 'In the presence of
Almighty God, the searcher of hearts,
and praying for His gracious assistance
and mercy we, burghers of the South
African Republic, have solemnly agreed,
for US and for our children, to unite in a
holy covenant, which We confirm with a
solemn oath. 1t is now forty years since
our fathers left the Cape Colony to be-
come a free and Independent people.
These forty years have been years of sor-
row and suffering. We have founded
Natal, the Orange Free State, and the
South African Republic (Transvaal), and
three time has the English government
trampled on our liberties, and our flag,
baptized with the blood and tears of our
fathers, has been pulled down. AS by a
thief in the night has our free republic
been stolen from us. We can not suffer
this, and we may not. 1t is the will of
God that the unity of our fathers and
the love of our children should oblige us
to delive unto our children, unblemished
the heritage of our fathers. It is fer this
reason that we here unite and give each
other the hand, as men and brethren,
promising to be faithful to our
country and people, and, looking unto
God, to work together unto death for the
restoration of the liberty of our republic.
so truly help MS, God Almighty"
