ScaIps and Masks.

Hermann, the celebrated prestidigi-
tator, on his recent return to Vienna
from long and exhaustive profess
sional tour in South America, pre-
scented the Imperial Museum of Natural
History with large number of curious
articles picked up by him ct different
times in the course of his transatlantic
wonde,ings. The quaintest object in
this interesting collection is war
trophy of the Jivaros, an Indian tribe
inhabiting the State of Ecuador. 1t
consists of the entire scalp and face
skin of warrior, carefully boned and
dried by interior app LEGATIONS of heated
stones. The flowing hair, bushy eye
brows, and strongly-marked features
are perfectly preserved, but the last, in
consequence of the peculiar treatment
to which they have been submitted,
are shrunken so small that the whole
face is little larger than a baby's
clenched fist, and looks like we'll
executed miniature in carving. 1t is,
moreover. as hard as wood and ex-
tremely light. These dried and con-
tracted masks are by no means incon-
venient to wear as trophies of victory,
and possess the paramount advantage
that they tell their own story. In the
base of mere scalps, one resembles
another SO closely that their enviable
prop ietor may readily experience some
difficulty in identifying such souvenirs
OF triumph with their ORIGINAL owners.
But there can be no. mistake about
relic which preserves the features,
however reduced in size, of van.
pushed foe. Nothing, except perhaps
his photograph, can remind one more
wildly of dead enemy than his own
face. prepared in the Jivaros fashion,

Cry for More Oysters.

At the same time that the more
thoughtful and observant are uttering
protests against the extinction by
wholesale drudging, of the oysters OF
the Chesapeake and it's tributaries,
there comes cry from England for
more American oysters. The New
York Herald quotes from private
business circular which has found its
way into the office of that paper. The
circular in question is piteous appeal
to be furnished with more oysters, on
the ground that the supply in the
English market falls below the demand.
The trader in question states that
nearly twenty eight million American
bivalves were eaten in England be.
tween the middle of October and the
day of the new year. Between March
and May will be the season for plant.
ing, and when the demand on this
account is supplied it is estimated that
no less than fifty millions of our oysters
will have been either devoured OF
naturalized in Great Britain. This
EXHIBIT only makes it more apparent
that the oyster beds of the Chesapeake
and its tributaries chief source Of
supply for the most succulent bivalvet
must be protected from depletion
il an industry promising such large
proportions and valuable returns is tc
he fostered. There is food in this
English circular for the Maryland and
Virginia Legislatures.

Influence of the Soil on Health.


health OF those living upon it is brought
out very plainly during the prevalen &c
OF epidemic diseases. That malaria]
diseases, like intermittent fevers, oriei.
nate from the soil, is already accepted
and the more exact studies, in recent
times, Of the manner in which cholera
abdominal typhus, yellow fever and the
plague are spread, has convinced many
that these diseases, also, which were
formerly considered Independent Of the
soil, because their specific germs are
communicable and are actually commu-
nicated by human intercourse and
trade, are still in some way connected
with it, although the nature of the con-
nection is yet to be found out. The ex-
PLANTATION of the frequent, sharply
defined local limitations of cholera and
typhoid has been sought first, in influ-
ences not of soil but of water and air,
to which the germs of disease have
been impaired from men but a clear
and impartial examination of the local
prevalence of these diseases in circles
OF greater or lesser extent, has now fur
nlshed evidence that in many cases air
and water can no longer be maintained
to be the causes of the localization, but
that the sources of the epidemic must
be sought in the soil.
In the occurrence of cholera on ships
at sea, where any influence of soil
would seem to be absolutely out of the
question, that influence often makes
itself apparent in striking manner by
the fact that only persons who have
come from certain places are attacked,
while other persons on the ships do
not even have a diarrhea, although
they are all the time with the sick, and
use the same food and water and air.
Ships at sea may be considered as in
themselves safe from cholera usually
sickness brought upon them in indi.
vidual cases dies out and it is regarded
IN seafaring practice as an excellent
prcphylactic measure to 20 to sea,
taking the sick along and breaking ur
all communication of the men with the
infected port or shore. Exceptional
cases OF epidemics breaking out on
ships cannot be regarded as arising
from contagion from person to person,
bnt always from previous communica-
ton OF the ship or it's crew or passen-
gers with some placs infected with the
disease. Scieucs M0ntbh

State for New Hampshire, and Naval Agent
at Portsmouth four years under President
Lincoln; was Secretary OF the Republican
National Committee In 1868 and as such
managed the campaign Of that year in
manner that did him great credit and

successful administration of the affairs
of the office is certainly assured under his

Some ten or more years ago Congress
passed an act permitting the Baltimore &
Potomac Railroad TO enter the city via
Virginia Avenue and 9Th Street NV, run
ming some two miles on the same, and
bringing their depot we'll into the business
part of the city. This road Is in reality
branch OF the Pennsylvania Railroad, and
as such is run in the interest Of the city
and travelling public, but has met with
| opposition from property holders on the
streets through which 1t passes, and re-
Gently many veIatious suits have been en-
tered in the Courts, and much litigation
has been going on. The city had for a
long time been subject to the caprice OF
the Baltimore Ohio Il. r., a corporation
that had grown rich under the fostering
care OF the government, and was overbesr-
ing in all its relations with the public.
But new era dawned upon the District
when the Pennsylvania Road secured 4
foOthold here, and they entered heartily
upon the work OF giving proper accommo-
datiOns for the public. Unlike the b. ! o.
they pay their help reasonable wages, and
thus secure the services OF persons well
qualified for the positions they hold-men
OF Intelligence and respectful manners.
They also secured the control Of the Phil
adclphia, Wilmington & Baltimore Rail-
road, (and reduced the fare between here
