 A new pharmacopoia is being prepared n
 Germany, and a commission of experts to
 whom the question was referred has given
 an opinion in favor of discarding Latin in
 the new work, and necessarily, as conse- quence, in medical prescriptions, and substi-
 tuting the plain German therefor. This de- cision is in accord with the general policy
 that has been followed for some time of
 wedding out of German life and intercourse,
 whether commercial, social, scientific or po- htical and governmental, as far as possible,
 the use of foreign clements of language; but nevertheless the decision did not satisfy the Ministry of the Interior, and the question was referred to the Federal Council. That body has now concluded to retain the Latin, mainly on the ground of it's importance as lan- guage that is understood in all civilized coun- tries, while the pharmacoppia with exelu- sively German medical terms would probably be confined in it's usefulness to very narrow limits. This decision is said to have been large- ly influenced also by the fact that the United States, England and France are all revising their pharmacopooeias at the same time, and that it will be easier and likelier to bring about harmony and agreement between the different works upon important points if the Latin phraseology is retained.
 According to the Richmond DispGtch, startling and extraordinary discovery has been made in connection with the approach ing centennial celebration. It will be re- membered that Yorktown, during the late war, was occupied by the contending armies, and was for considerable period the head quarters of several of the federal command CTS Against one of these conspiracy is said to have been formed, and the most des- perate measures were instituted and we'll nigh carried into execution. The entire viii lage was undermined, and dynamite explo- sives with electric attachments were placed at different points, so as to secure the destruction of every living soul in the town. The discovery was a pure accident at the present time. As a northern gentleman was looking at the ex- tremity of Cornwallis' Cave he came upon 8 passage just large enough to admit the body of man, and pushing his investigations found the electric batteries, the dynamite bombs and all the appurtenances necessary to blow Yorktown out of existence. Of course the bombs are now harmless That he mines were never exploded is only ac- counted for by the supposition that their in ended victims had departed before the per 'ons who constructed the mines had compile ed their murderous arrangements The ex- 1losives are now being removed and the I hines filled up, so that no danger will be | hereafter incurred.

seIfshness in those who control it's policy, the Democratic party will never gain the as- tendency in national affairs. That it may profit by it's long experience of defeat, and pursue such course during the next four years as to command the support of large majority of the people in the next Presiden- tial election, is greatly to be. desired, but hardly to be hoped for at present.

 Those of our readers who saw and ads
 nlired the grand Corliss engine at the Gen.
 tennial will be interested in knowing that it
 has been set up in the factory of the Pull
 man car company near Chicago, and was set
 in motion on Saturday of last week. The engiue weighs 25O tons and carried to Chicago from Philadelphia in train of thir- ty.five cars, making of itself whole freight train load The plan was to have General Grant start the engine again as he did in 1876, but he is away. so MT. Pullman's eldest daughter raised the lever and set it in motion.
 "A little more sleep and little more slumber" is very pleasant thing in the morning. Miss Gladdis Homan, who was visiting at her brothers house in Mapleton, Illinois thought so, and seldom made her ap. pearance until after breakfast had been eaten by the rest of the family. Her brother re- monstrated, and informed her that she must get up before the breakfast hour She got exceedingly wroth about the order and after pouting all day returned to her fathers 1 house. That night when she retired she or dered her sister out of the room, saying she l would show them how long she could lie in 1 bed. She locked the door, took the poison | and was found in the morning in the last | struggles of death. Girls and boys who do not like to get up early might cut this out and 1 paste it where their parents can see it.

ADULTERATION OF FOOD.

1t is we'll that the question of aduter-
ated food is again stirred up. The pub,
lie know something of the evils of bad
air, and bad water has been properly
condemned, but of many articles of food
the devourer knows just nothing at all.
The action of France with regard to dis
eased pork imported from the United
States raises the whole subject of impure
God into national Importance. and the
matter should not be permitted to rest
until the most complete state OF national
supervision shall protect us from every
form of aluteration. We all know that
pure liquors are the exception, but then
one can do without whisky, while he can
not do without bread. 1t is to be hoped
that Congress and State legislatures Will
meet the questions promptly, and pro-
vide efficient means for the punishment
If every one who knowingly sells an
,dulterated article. The protection OF
the health of the people is one OF the
first and highest duties of government.
What with diseased pork, lardcd butter,
sanded sugar, teas poisoned i'll coloring,
coffee made from no one knows what,
md fifty other made up articles. it is no
wonder that doctors and grave 1iggcrs
are in demand. Let us have home pro
lection at once The first business OF
the trainer of an athlete is to see that
the food given is perfectly pure. Let
chat he the demand of the law. and then
let the law be ri-idly enforced. We
might thereby diminish the rate of NOR
tality in Il very appreciable degree.

Imported Horses for Breeding Purposes.

II is a fresh Indication OF the fact that
the farmers of Maryland are realizing the
importance of improving the character of
their stock that general interest is evinccd
in the recent importation of Percheron
horses. noticeably by Mr.. VIM. T. Wal
tiers, of Baltimore. Farmers are begin
ming to see that there is economy in rails
ing heavy horses for dr,ught purposes.
The Baltimore Sun. in noticing Mr.. Wal
ters' last importation Of twenty horses,
says:
On being landed here. they were taken
around to Mr. Walters place of business.
Exchange Place and Holiday street. and
there in Il short time no less than 500
people collected to l"ok at ants admire
the noble looking animals. All except
one-a black Stallion-were gray color.
the black stallion being the only one of
that color imported None of the horses
were less than 16 or IL hands high. and
their weight ranged from loo to 400
pounds each. After remaining ON llolll-
day street about an hour and II halt they
were led out to Mr.. Walters farm. in
Baltimore county, each horse having 4
man attending it. They attracted great
attention as they passed through the
streets. The universal opinion seemed
to be that the horses were the finest lot
ever seen. and that. notwithstanding the
TACT that since they left Sees. Fralce.
! they had only had an opportunity t. lie
down four days willie they We're in New
York. The horses have dome large
amount Of travelling. Leaving Sees on
Feb. 14th they went by rail to Bouo.ne.
and thence by the channel s.eamer 7"
London where they were shipped "n the
steamship Greece. arriving in New York
on Friday OF last week. Being for breed
ing purposes tfey were admitted free of
duty, but nevertheless they cost. inc'ui-
int purchase money and expenses. not
| less than $500 each for the stations s"a
about half the amount tor the mares.
Mr.. Harry Walters and Mr.. j. Stricken,
overseer for Mr.. Walters place. accom-
panied the animals throughout their ,i'iur-
ney to Baltimore. having every attention
paid to their comfort Three of the thir-
teen newly imported mares have been
sold tt Tennessee company. which also

Tnev will remain under Mr.. Walters
care for awhile. This will leave but

IT appears from the census that the in
crease of the coiored race in the South
has been considerably greater in proper
ton than that of the white. When the
paternal institution was destroyed it
was prophesied that the black race
would soon dwindle away and perish al
together. But the current runs just the
other way.
