WHILE we arc discussing the nature and
power Of malaria, IL may be rs well to admit
that doctors and scientists find time enough
everything else except that men are born
and die. There is certainly something par
adoxical and battling about this malaria as
there is about yellow fever. It certainly is
not fiction, but its origin is in doubt. One
thing can very safely be said, namely,
that malaria is Ear worsein the North than
in the South, and is spreading rapidly. In
fact, in many parts of the North malaria is
just rs much household necessity as ham
and eggs. People regularly lay in u supply
of quinine, just as they get in their winter
COAL and disappointment can be seen upon
the faces of the inhabitants unless malaria
comes around all right on schedule
time. The agucs of South Western
Georgia, as the fcvcrs of New England,
have been ascribed to the same cause, mill
dams and ponds. But, as scientific cx-
change remarks, Prof. Chadbourne, of Will
liams College, found malarial fever in the
high, dry regions Of the Rocky Mountains
and in parts of the North where the con-
ditions were quite different from those
formerly considered essential to the produc-
tion of miasm.
Other eminent authorities maintain that
malarial poison is produced whenever there
is widespread area of dccomposcd matter,
either vegetable or animal, in mill-dams,
swamps, frcshly-turned earth and the like,
and mention certain mill-dams which arc
the clear and absolute cause of death.
Other writers, again, contend that the
air holds and always held malarial elements,
and the reason why this generation sue
cumbs more rapidly than its predecessors is
because of the degeneration consequent
upon impaired vitality, harder work and
bad habits.
The New Orleans Democrat has looked
carefully into this perplcxing question: and
it finds out some curious facts that will
prove of great interest to the malarial ex-
perts in our midst. Thousands of people, it
says, have been brought into contact with
what ought to be poisonous atmosphere
according to scientific theory, and yet never
before was there so much good health in
that "a much greater mortality
of residents of cities may be referred to dis
eases of stomachic aud organic character
than to the atmosphere brcathed by them !;
that intemperance, bad food and drink, IT,
regular habits and neglect of hygienic laws
are far more potent and prolific agencies in
reducing the populations of cities than any
malarial or atmospheric causes. "
In point of fact, the swampy and un-
drained portions Of New Orleans are the
healthiest The case is cited of old Alex
ander Milne, who lived OH the edge Of the
swamp, bought nearly the whole swamp
between the ridge and the lake, and living
to the great age Of 81, bcqueathed his large
possessions to educational and charitable
uses in the confident belief that in the
course Of not many years that would be the
most desirable portion Of the city for resi-
dences.

Business yesterday was materially sus.
pended in consequence of n proposed fight
to be had ut the park between two bull
dogs and Il wildcat weighing Az pounds,
caught near here on Saturday. By5 O'Clock,
the time announced for the fight to come
off, 5000 people had assembled and anx-
iously awaited the coming of the thrilling
combnts. The mayor, however, turned the
dogs and cat loose promptly on time. The
most desperate and savage fight occurred,
lasting twenty minutes, by which time the
cat had won the victory, having put ont
ment was over. The fight was one of the
most intense character, every one rising to
his feet and bursting out in II prolonged
shout Mt the close. The owner has chal-

THE MOST SENSIBLE UTTERANCE we have
seen touching the matter Of Presidential in
ability comes from Gen. Grant, through the
medium of an Inter Ocean reporter. The
General said that "he had no doubt that
condition of affairs existed to-day which re-
quired the Vice-P President to act as Prcsi-
dent, but neither the Constitution nor the
United States Statutes provided how disa-
bility should be declared, and it would be
wholly inappropriate for the vice-Presi-
dent, unasked, to make move toward
assuming the duties of the Presidential
chair. If anything was done the physicians
should certify to the Cabinet that they con-
sidered the President unable to perform the
duties required of him. Then tho Cabinet
might consider this certificate and forward
it to the Vice President, requesting him to
act as President during Garfeld's disability.
There was nothing legal about this, but
Gen. Grant said he could see no other way
for accomplishing the end. However, he
said there is no present necessity. The
Government can get along well enough
until Congress meets
This is simply the application of ordinary
common sense and plain logic to the ques.
tion. General Grant need not have said
that there is nothing legal about this"
True, there is no express provision in either
the Constitution or the Statutes, which was
doubtless what the General meant to say ;
but law, whether organic or statutory, must
be read and rendered in the light of common
nd II, hat l,o,I,t 4
by the General is sufficiently "lcgal" for
all practical purposes.
1t may be set down as maxim that in
our country, and under our institutions,
any action touching public affairs is illegal"
which meets the substantial acquiescence of
the body polite, whether the provision for
1t in the ler scripta be express or implied.
Now, then, the mode suggested by Gen.
Grant would, we believe, meet the approval or
command the acquiescence of all reasonable
men. In fact under existing conditions
no other mode would be practicable.
Whether the Generals final. assurance
that the Government can get along well
enough until Congress meets" F." is we'll
founded or not is a matter for events to de-
termine. We believe that there ought to
be an acting President now but that is an
affair Of judgment simply, and members of
the Cabinet say that thereis no public bust
ness of pressing Importance now requiring
Presidential action, Be this as it may, we
venture to predict that if events should
produce absolute necessity of the succession
of the President pending the Presi-
dents inability it will be accomplished
in the mode suggested by Gen. Grant, and
that it will meet the approval of the public
without material dissent from any quarter.
II is the law of common sense.

SERGEANT MASON Is reported as saying
that if the day had been clear he would
have hit Guiteau." The long droutht had
become very oppressive and there was vital
need of rain. But we venture to say that
the American people would have been
willing to endure one more day of droutht
in order to perfect the Sergeants aim. We
do not imagine that his punishment will be
barbarous in its severity. Something like a
sixty days furlough, with full pay and
transportation, would, in the public judg-
ment, about meet the requirements of this
case At all events we feel authorized to
assure Sergeant Mason that no attempt will
be made to lynch him.

Georgia Yarns.

The Washington Gazette relates
that Mr.. Thomas Lipscomb recently
had some hooks set out on Little River.
Two Of them were set pretty close to-
gether,. and one of them caught an
ell during the night, and the eel, in
attempting to get off the hook, had
twisted the line up until he was en-
tirely out of the water. When he
went to examine his hooks he found
large hawk caught on the hook near
the eel. He thinks the hawk saw the
eel above the water, and, in attempt
ing to catch it, got caught on the other
hook dangling close by.
A few days ago the Courier made
mention of the fact that an eagle
had swooped down from Lavender IS
Mountain and carried off game cock
from the farm of Mr.. John Coleman,
near Rome. After the eagle had
scared some distance above with It'll
prey the game bird was distinctly
heard to crow. "Well, strange t

A Beautiful Love Story,

The Count de Croix, belonging to
one ofthe noblest and wealthiest fam
lilies of France, became engaged, after
q long courtship, to q lady his equal
in position and fortune, and famous
for her beauty. Shortly after the
happy DAY was appointed which was
to render two loving hearts one. the
Count was ordered Immediately to
the siege of Sebastopol so he girded
on his sabre, and at the head of his
regiment marched on to the battle-
field. During the Counts absence il
happened that his beautiful afflanced
had the smallpox ;'and, lowering be-
tween life and death, she recovered,
but found her beauty hopelessly lost.
The disease had assumed in her
case the most virulent character, and
left her not only disfgured, but
scanned and Scared to such fright
full extent that she became hideous to
herself, and resolved to pass the re-
mainder of her day in strict seclusion,
A year passed away, when one day
the Count, Immediately upon his re.
turn to France, accompanied by his
valet, presented himself at the resi-.
dence of his betrothed and solicited
an interview.
This was very naturally refused
He, however. with the persistence Of
o lover, pressed his suit, and finally
the lady made her appearance, very
closely muf1ied in veil. At the
sound of her voice the Count rushed
forward to embrace her, but stepping
aside, she tremblingly told him thu
story of her sorrow, and burst into
tears. A heavenly smile broke owe
the Counts handsome features, as
raising his hand above, he exclaimed
at is Gods work / am blindW l
was even so. When CALAMITY leading
his regiment to the attack, a cannon
ball passed so closely to his eyes tina
while it left their expression uu
changed and his countenance un
marked, it robbed him forever o
sight. 1t is unnecessary to say tina
their marriage was shortly solem
nized. 1t is said that at this da.
there may be often seen at the EN-
peror's receptions an officer leanini
upon the arm of closely yelled lady
and they seem to be attracted to til
spot by their love Of music.
