A Frank AdmlS sion.

The New York Times speaks of Mr..
Hayes as ''the immoral man who cheated
him Mr.. Tilden) out of his Office" 1t
is notable how unanimous is the opinioi,
that Mr.. Hayes was a fraudulent presi-
dent and equally notable that he was
such president, notwithstanding this
unanimous opinion that he was not
elected to the place. What a strange
country this is, to be sure, whose people
insist upon being governed by a
president who was not chosen to
the place. Here is the leading
Republican organ which insisted that
Hayes should have the presidency, now
calmly admitting-in an incidental way,
and rs though it was saying nothing re-
markable, but only what every one
knows-that Hayes cheated Tilden out
of the presidency. The admission is
made after Mr.. Hayes is out of Office
and after he has done al the good he
could to the Republican party in giving
its politicians Offices. " The good of the
party not only restrained the Republi-
cans from protesting against tho seat
ing of president they knew
was not chosen, but it led them
to insist upon his taking his fraud
ulently-acquired place. Such is the con-
troll party exercises over mems con-
sciences. 1t is too strong for men of the
honestest fibre to withstand. 1t is the
same thing that is now being exempli-
fled in what is regarded universally by
the country ,and by the actors themselves,
as the remarkably silly conduct of the
Republican senators at Washington in
the present deadlock. They know they
are not doing what they ought to do. but
the party caucus has kept all of them in
the traces for the past two months.

The Normal school system needs the
intelligent supervision of the new state
superintendent. It has been running
long in a rut and the question is whether
it is running altogether right. The idea
Of the schools is to supply the state with
competent teachers. To get this good
the state pays literally towards the
support Of these schools. Does it get it
as fully as it ought to do? 1t is the
duty of the state superintendent to
SEQ that the states interests are properly
cared for. He has the power of appointing
six of the eighteen in the governing
board of the Millersville normal school,
the other twelve being chosen by the
stockholders, or, as they are called, the
subscribers. The latter are also author
lied to nominate each year four men
from whom the state superintendent Sc
lects two as the state trustees. The
term of Office being three years, two
chosen each year make up the
number of the states trustees.
The superintendent is not restricted
to the four names each year presented to
him by the local board; for tie act of
April II, 1875, declares that ''if the NOM
nations so made be not satisfactory to
the said superintendent of public instruc-
tion he shall, with the advice and con-
sent of the governor, choose others
deemed more suitable"
1t is likely that DR.. Higbee and the
governor can avail themselves of this
power with advantage to the state in in
Producing men into the Millersville school
direction. Naturally those chosen by the
authorities are of their complexion, and
it is not perhaps we'll for the state to
have its representatives so close to the
stockholders representatives. The two
interests may be different; and if they
are, the state trustees should be men in
telligent enough to see it and independ-
ent enough to declare it. We have lately
had occasion to speak of the Millersville
school trustees as men who made much
better figures as farmers, merchants and
bankers than as school administrators; !;
as such they are not illustrious and a
few men among them of different
stamp would leavOn the lot.

WATCHING ONES BIO Cd.
An Ingenious Method by Which the Cir
cuIation Can be Observed.
TNinteenth Century

An ingenious method has just been de-
vised for actually observing the circuia-
ton of the blood in man. Hitherto, ex-
cept in the case of Purknings experiment,
in which an observer can see the circula-
ton in his own retlnal blood vessels, the
evidence of circulation in the human sub
ieet has been entirely circumstantia1, de-
rived from the facts of structure of the
circulatory organs, and from the manner
in which the blood flows from severed ar
teries and veins. But by means of sim
pie arrangement, invented by DR.. G. Hunt
er, of GTiefswald, it is now possible to
witness the actual flow of blood in the
blood vessels of another person, and that
with sufficient accuracy to detect any alb
normability in the circulation, and SO to
obtain invaluable assistance in the diagno-
sis of disease.
In DR.. Huters arrangement the patients
head is fixed in a frame, something like
that used by photographers, on which is a
continuance for supporting microscope
and lamp. The lower lip is drawn out and
fixed, by means of clips, on the stage of
the microscope, with its inner surface up
wards, a strong light is thrown on his sur
face by a condenser, the microscope, pro-
vided with a low-power objective, is
brought to bear ON the delicate network of
vessels, which can be seen in the position
| indicated, even with the naked eye.
| The appearance presented is, at first, as
| if the vessels were filled with red inj lection.
But by focusing a small superficial vessel,
/ the observer is soon able to distinguish the
movement of the blood-stream, rendered
evident by the speck-like red corpuscles,
! the flow of which, in the cork-screw like
capillaries, is said by Huter to be especially
beautiful. The colorless corpuscles are
distinguishable as minute white specks, oc-
curing now and again in the course OF the
red stream.
Besides the normal circulation, vari
Gus pathological conditions can be observ
ed. By pressure quite insufficient tt
cause pain, the phenomena of blood stag
nation-the stoppage of the flow and the
gradual change in the color of the BLOOD
from bright red to purple-are seen. A
momentary stoppage is also produced by
touching the lip with ice, more enduring
stasis by certain reagents, such as glycerint
or ammonia.
Hunter states that he has already PROVED
the great use of fCheiloangioscopy," as he
calls the new process, in his medical prac
tice The variation in the blood-how ant
in the diameter of the vessels, the crowd
ing together of the red corpuscles, the in
crease in number of the white corpuseles
occurring in certain diseases, all these MAJ
be observed readily and exactly. 1t will
| indeed. be at once obvious how great i
the Importance of method like this, b,
which an actual observation of the circu
lation is made possible, especially when. i
is borne in mind that even the rough ant
ready method of feeling the pulse afford
good test of the state of the health
