THE TERRIBLE PELLAGRA.

1t is about $50 years since the pella-
gra made its appearance in Europe, first
in Spain, afterwards in France and Italy,
and later in Greece and other countries.
In Italy the scourge has assumed vast
proportions. In the province of Berga-
mo alone, in the year 1878, at least 20,
900 persons, it is calculated were afflict-
ed with the terrible epidemic, almost 10
per cent of the agricultural population
of that province. The effect Of this mala-
dy is a complete degradation of the
physical aud intellectual powers. The
greater part of the victims either die in
lunatic asylums and hospitals or commit
suicide, leaving the seeds of the malady
Ca sad heritage) to their children. This
is a terrible picture, and Signor Albor-
ghetti, a member of the Provincial Com
mission of Bergamo, from whose reports
lately published, gather the above par
ticulars, advocates the most stringent
measures on the part of the government
to arrest the ravages of the disease. AS
it has been incontestably proved that
the pellagra made its appearance and
increased with the cultivation of maize
GudC-WudGeNcI Cuc UIntICuCG Ill ClI-
mate, soil, race, social regulations, man
ners and customs-those places only are
infected where the food of the agricul-
tural population consists chiefly in maize
flour in the shape of polenta, or bread,
and that even those already affected
with the disease are speedily cured if
their diet be varied with meat, vegetables.
etc, Signor Aborghetti advocates "a
radical reform in the food of the agricul7
tural laborers. He proposes that econom-
ical kitchens, superintended by provin-
cial commissions, and regulated accord
ing to the size of the different parishes
and the number of persons afflicted with
the disease, should be established and
the medical officers at the first sign of
the pellagra invading hitherto untouch-
ed district, should have power to give
tickets to the agricultural laborers en-
abling them to partake OF the benefits of
such economical kitchens. This, he
says, is the best, most rapid and efficient
way to pu an end to the Epidemic

GUITEAUSGAOL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.--The recent
rumors concerning the possibility of a
mob attacking the Jail where Guiteau is
confined in case of the Presidents death,
suggested to a correspondent the propri-
iety of investigating their chances OF
success. The jail is isolated and its rear
protected by the Potomac river. A Cat
ling gun stationed at each Of the exposed
corners could keep at bay any smob that
might approach. Should they escape
these the building presents an impenetra-
BILE point Even if they should succeed
in penetrating the outer enclosure they
would be confronted by the walls of the
inner section Of the Jail, which are sur
rounded by an open corridor which
would give soldiers stationed at proper
points such an advantage that a very
small force could keep at bay any num-
Der of persons that might obtain an en-
trance to the corridor. The inner walls
are also very strong. There are now
stationed at the Jail, 35 soldiers who 10
picket duty, and 1000 more are available
at half an hours notice. Four batteries
of artillery are here from Fortress Mon
roe, and can be at once placed about the
Jail. Guiteaus prison life differs not at
all from that of other prisoners, and the
attendants say he receives the same at
tention. They assert that they are not
disposed to in any way assist mob that
may come to take Guiteau. In case the
prisoner should be sentenced to hang,
the gallows on which be would swing
stands in one of the corridors of the Jail

make any nomination in opposition.

She dropped to the floor unconscious, but

The Island of Cyprus is overrun W

The Island of Cyprus is overrun with
goats. It is estimated that there are
230, 1000 of these animals on the island,
and planting is almost useless or account
of their ravages. "They carry no wool, -
says the st. James Gazette, furnish
only bad meat, and shardly give more
milk than the sheep, to which, however,
they ore preferred on account of their
feeding on ligneous vegetation, which
the sheep reject. They are fed, there
fore, almost entirely at the expense of
the woods, and not only, it is stated, does
the goat destroy the young freshly grown
plants, but it browses on the young
branches of older trees. On the south
ern mountains, also, where the soil is
loose, the goat is accused of increasing
this looseness by scrambling about, and
thus injuring young plants, which are
dragged down and torn away by the
falling of broken stones"

Wednesday afternoon our streets were
startled with the report that Chester Sher-
man, the engineer at the Touring mill OF
May & Waterbury, had been caught
around the main shaft, and was fearfully
injured. Investigations showed the fol
lowing facts: While the machinery was
in motion, he tried to adjust the excen-
trix, and in leaning over the shaft, his
clothing was caught near the middle of
the body, and instantly wound up. The
shaft makes so revolutions minute, and
is about two feet above the floor. At
every revolution, Sherman was pounded
against the floor until he was insensible.
This continued until the steam began to
fail, calling the attention of the millers
to the fact that something was wrong in
the engine room. On going down, Sher-

GRANT AND ARTHUR.-LoNG BRANCH
Aug. 81 The attention Of Gen. Grant
has been called to the various publica-
tions describing frequent visits on his
part to Vice President Arthur, for con-
sultation with the Vice President and
other public men in reference to political
contingencies at Washington Gen.
Grant requests the announcement that
there is no truth in any of these state
ments. He had been present at no con-
sultation and knew of none. He had
only seen Gen. Arthur once since the
attempt on the Presidents life, at a
brief morning call about three weeks
since, and no one was present but the
Vice President. He had met no one
who showed more profound or sincere
sorrow for the Presidents condition than
the Vice President Gen. Grant did not
believe there had been any consultation
of the character described between Gen.
Arthur and his political friends. Arthur
could have no sane friend who would
introduce such subject upon him, and
he is the last man who will submit to
such an intrusion.

WHY WE COMMENCE DINNER WITH
SoUP.-The rationale soup has often been
discussed; some regard it as calculated to
diminish digestive power, on the theory
that so much fluid taken at first dilutes
the gastric juices But there appears to
be no foundation for this belief A clear
soup disappears almost Immediately after
it enters the stomach, and in no way in
terferes with the gastric juice, which is
stored in its appropriate cells ready for
action. The habit of commencing dinner
with soup has, without doubt, its origin
in the fact that ailment in this fluid form
in fact, ready digested-soon enters
the blood and rapidly refreshes the hung
ry man, who, after considerable fast
and much activity, sits down with sense
of exhaustion to commence his principal
meal. In two or three minutes after he
has taken plate of good warm soup the
feeling of exhaustion disappears, and ir-
ritability gives way to the gradual rising
sense of good fellowship with the circle.
Some persons have the custom Of allaying
exhaustion with a glass of sherry before
tood-a gastronomic no less than physi-
illogical blunder, injuring the stomach
and depraving the palate. The soup in
troduces at once into the system small
installment OF ready digested food, and
saves the short period of time which must
be spent by the stomach in deriving some
