German Snort

A corso is one of the prettiest sights in
Italy or Germany. This form of amuse-
ment has only been comparatively re-
Gently introduced into the latter country.
Royal invitations are sent to the princes.
nobility and gentry to assemble at GER
tain place, and at the appointed hour
carriages of all kinds are seen vending
their way to the spot. All the occupants
have flowers, large and small bouquets,
often tied with gay ribbons. The car
riages drive slowly up and down in pro-
cession, or more frequently round and
round in circle, brass bands playing
the while. Then the game begins. The
bouquets are throw in every direction,
from carriage to carriage, or from the
occupants to the spectator. The. old
emperor William enters into the sport
with zest. In his low carriage he is often
completely covered with flowers, tiny
bouquets that he launches right and left.
Well-dressed or pretty children in the
watching crowds are sure to attract his
attention, and equally sure to receive a
posey, while he, himself, is pelted from
every side. Not the least pretty part of
the play is to watch the juveniles rush
in, where bouquets fall, and seize a
prize, then with the calm audacity of
their innocence, throw it at some mighty
magnate whose word rules the nation.
Four-in-hands are sure to be present at
this afternoon festivity, and from their
exalted position, the fortunate possess
ors of seats up aloft have admirable OPP
portunities for good aim. At Weisbaden
the corso always took place in front of
the Kursaal, and the drive was round
and round the circle between the arcades.
The FLASHING water in the fountain, the
parterre with it's flowers, the tasty dresses
of the fashionable ladies, ali lent their
aid to make up charming whole.

MONT BLANC.
BY A, 3, BOYLE.

How Oft in childhold could shut my eyes
And fancy they were dazzled by thy light,
AS 1 went up and up the glittering height,
Piercing the azure of those far-off skies,-
Or could watch the misty rainbows rise,
Their rose-tints fading from thy summit bright,
Till all the wondrous Wilderness smote my sight
And fell prone, transtixed with dumb surprise.
Now thou art awful to me in my dreams,-i
A soul minated, on silent THRONE
But when 1 think of this fair, smiling flower,
At home amidst thy snowy riffs and seams,
Thou dost not seem so utterly alone
1t links with life thy chankeless realm of power.
-Scribner

Love, among the orchard trees lay,
Spring grasses at my feet,
The Pickering shadows fell upon the way.
The pale narcissus made the fresh air sweet;
Among the poisoning orchard trees lay,
Waiting my Lord to greet.
Through the green woods the birds sang shriu and
gay.
And then sudden sound
Of coming feet glimpse of raiment gray,
And shaken blossoms falling to the ground;
Sweet was my dream of Love and Life and May,
And blossoms scattered round.
And swift toward me his light footsteps came;
o Love, ! woke to see
Strange eyes upon me, dark with some spent fame,
So like to thine. o Love, and yet not thee;
Thine was his raiment, and he bore the name
known but to Love and me.
The yellow crocus blossoms in his hand
Were crushed, and wan, and dead;
Lo, as q wanderer unknown strand
He stood beside me with discrowned head:
Glove comes not twice." he cried, g 20 any land,
But am in his stead?"
He held to me chalice of red wine
Filled to the very brim;
The twisted snakes about the tall stem twine
And closely coil around the jeweiled rim.
He held to me cup of blood-red wine,
And babe me drink to him.
&c Love came, but never will he come again,
Drink thou to me;
Love did forsake, but 1, his brother, Pain,
viii now for ever more abide with thee:
The dark earth-nst has gathered round US twain,
Drink thou to me!' -C0rnhiU Magazine.

took the craven cup, my lips set
Close to the ieweled rim,
And to Loves eyes there stole faint regret,
Then bright mist made all the old world dim;
And in the golden cloud our blind lips met,
And drank deep to him.

WEDNESDAY,, JUNE 90, 1884.
LOVE AND PAIN.

Love held to me chalice of red wine
Filled to the very brm:
About the slender stem the clinging vine
Was closely twined and round the jeweled rim;
Love hold to me cup of Dlood-red wine,
And made me drink to him.
Around the desert of my life lay bare,
waste of reeds and sand,
Love stood with all the sunlight in his hair,
And yellow crocus blossoms in his hand;
And all around the cruel scorching glare,
The waste and thirsty land.
To his white feet the loose gray raiment hung,
His flushed lips smiled on me,
Across his pale young brow the bright curls chung.
would have fed, but 10 might not fee,
While through the heavy air thy clear voice rung,
And babe me drink to thee.

He General Arthur has shown such
anxiety for the Presidents recovery, such un.
affected sympathy with him and his fam.
lily, such willingness to consult and co.
operate with the Cabinet in any crisis that
might arise, and, wthNl, such modesty and becom .
ing rcticcnce, ns to rcdssurc the people aud win
popular confidence. There Is no duty devoving
upon him that has not been performed lie has
placed himscrin communication with the Cabinet
officers, ready to go to Washington whenever asked
or advised to do SO, at the same time expressing a
constant wish and prayer that his presence may not
be required by the fatal termination of the prcsi-
dents case. There arc hundreds Of politicians who
would have himassumG more positive or aggrcs-
siyc position, and the very fact that under all the
pressure he has refused to do so Is one evidence
that he Is equal TO any emergency. His conduct
during each successive crisis certainly entities him
to common courtesy and fur treatment, which he
has hardly received In some quauers.- Cleveland

Questions in Xirginin.

Nothing can give clearer insight into
the Virginia campaign, as conducted by
Major Daniel and his friends, than the
answer fColonel Cameron whereverthey
have met in the State-"Are youa Demo-
crat ?" Nothing could show more conclu-
sivcly determination on the part of the
interrogation to shirli the real issues with
which the people of Virginia are con-
fronted to-day, and to re-cstablish, if pos
sible, the old party lines. Thare
is no disposition manifested TO
know Colonel Cameron's position upon
the suffrage question, the common school
question, or the debt question, but the
simple import of it is, do you always
vote the straight Democratic ticlet?" " If
you do this, though you may have to
swallow Horace Greeley, Gilbert C..
Walker, and James Barbour, you are
qualified to administer the State Govern
ment of Virginia, but not otherwise" "
AT this distance it occurs to us that
Major Daniel would have some difficulty
in explaining satisfactorily his own De-
moCracy. The convention which nomi-
mated him declared that it was "Demo-
cratic in its Federal relations" but "Con-
servative in its State policy"
Which machine is the Conservative
Democratic party running in this cam
paign-Federal or State? and to which
has the Major attached himself? His
nomination by that particular conven-
ton throws no light upon his position,
for upon the same ticket with Major
Daniel we find Mr., James Barbour,
who in 1874 left the Democratic
party, and, as an independent candi-
date for Congress, came near de-
feating General IIunton, the regular
nominee. Since that time Mr., Barbour
has been Readjuster. lie was the au-
thor of the Barbour bill denounced by
Major Daniel and lis friends and vetoed
by Governor Holiday rs measure Of
reputation. No longer ago than 1875
Major Daniel himself was a Greenbacker
and he has now rccanted. What is hC
now? Is he Greenbacker, Democrat
Conservative, or anything to beat the
Readjusters?" At Staunton on Monday
in reply to this question, Colonel Came
ron asked Major Daniel if he would
vote for an increase Of taxation, should
it ever become necessary, in order
to meet the States liabilities, and tho
Major declined to answer though tho
party which nominated him "pledge,
itself as part Of its policy not TO increase
the present rate Of taxation" ThispledgC
is the only one made by the convention
which can be taken hold Of by the people
of the State or its creditors, and until the
Major can tell how he and his party in
tend to keep it ii strikes us that it woull
be well for him to stop asking hard Ques
tions.

BLOOD POISONING.
The Eminent BcrIIn Scientist on sept.
c.cmIn.

On Friday THE REPUBLICAN publisheda n
description of what Is known us pyGmia The
following from paper by Dr. Rudolph Vlrchow,
the eminent Berlin scientist, Is in reference to the
milder form of blood poisoning scptiCemia; and
aitcr stating that hisis an infection, the Gbsorp
ton into the blood ofa poisonous liquid, he goes
on to speak especially the Inflammation of the
parOtis, and refers to the
DANGERS OF suPruRATIyE INFLAMMATION.
Irl complicaCs the later stages of other diseases,
the new disturbance suiliccs often to lead to tie
death Of the exhausted patients by II renewal or
increase OF the fever If the swelling of the sur.
rounding parts be very considerable, the inhamma.
ton of the parotls, by impeding the circulation
in the numerous veins which lie in contact with
1t, may give rise TO Wdema of the temporal
region and around the eye, headache, difficult
breathing, Sc. These phenomena become still
more violent ftho impedmcnt to circulation Is
large enough TO cause congulation OF the blood in
the veins The clOts thus formed become so much
more dangerous they extend far beyond the
gland, and later when they soften become
the starting point of cmboism and in
fGctiOn. In scvercr cases the surrounding
connective tissue is also infamed, and then the
Inflammation extends gradually over the neigh
boring paris causing assesses in the muscles, in
ilNmmaton of the auditory canal, perostltls OF the
lower jnw-bone aud temporal bone, followed by
necrosis. Through the bones the inflammation
may extend to the membranes surrounding the
brain or attack this organ itself Another way in
which the Inflammation spreads Is by
FOLLOWING THE COURSE or THE NERVES.
The veins are apt to become obstructcd, and
olots extend down along the side OF the neck or
into the interior of tho craniOl cavity. In such
cases the inflammation Of the parotis may in
its turn become the starting point of new
blood poisoning and of cmbolism in the
lungs and other organs. The dangers con-
neCted with the Inflammation of the parots
are partly due to the situation Of the organ
under dense ftScla or tendlnous membrane.
This circumstance is also Of importance in regard.

it should be hastencd, and the pus emptied as soon
as possible To attain this end II Is often necessary
to make deep inclsons, the swelling of the super
fclal parts being so great that pus is reached only

The Presidents stomach has done well
during the last forty-cight hours, and the
wound gives no present trouble. The
chief attention is now directed to the
swelling of the porotid gland. Sup
puration there will be watched with
painful anxiety. Dr. Bliss alludes to
it as a manifestation of septic tnint in the
blood, and says it is, indeed, "a sort of
mild blood poisoning" Thisis discourag-
ing, in view of previous statements. The
patient is gaining nothing in strength,
and is taking much less food than while
losing his eighty pounds of flesh. This,
too, when he is about to have n new draft
upon his vitality in the operation on and
drainage from the inhamed gland. The
doctors bulletins and conversations, taken
together continue to keep the word of
promise to the ear to break it to the hope.
