The national debt of the United
States is now less than one-half that OF
the English government; it is but lit
lie more than one-third that of France,
and among other European nations it
is exceeded by the public debts of Rus
STA, spain and Italy. The debt of Aus
tria and Hungary is about the same as
that of this country. The burden of
the public debt of this country is by far
the ightest of any of the great nations
of the world, China alone excepted.
AT the present rate of reduction we
may be entirely clear within quarter
of century.

CONVERSATIONAL Club.

There was full attendance at the meeting
last evening of this club, and great interest
manifested in the reading of Rev. Mr.. Adri-
ance's able essay upon Sunday school litera-
ture.
The speaker condemned the too common,
not to say general, method of ordering books
for Sunday schools by the $50 or 500 worth,
leaving their selection chiefly to the book-sel-
Ter; deplored the shiftless makeup of the aver
ago Sunday school catalogue, and Showed the
necessity for excluding works not of demerit
alone but those Of negative character as we'll.
He could not see why, with contributors like
George Mcdonald, Charles Kingsley, Norman
Mclean, Jean Ingelow, Rose Terry Cooke,
Mrs. G. r. Walden and many others to our
stock of the best Sunday school literature, we
should have difficulty IN selecting good, health
full boys books and girls books, avoiding the
goody-goody class on one side, and the hair
lifting variety on the other. In his opinion it
ia a pernicious plan to wait year or two and
then order large lot of books, it being inf
nitelv better to make additions Of but dozen
or so at a time, ensuriug a regular and gradual
growth.
The reading Of the paper was followed by
remarks generally commendatory of the argu-
ments Therein contained, from Rev. Mr.
Dickinson, Mr.. Clark and other members.

THE IRISH HORROR.
Views of Consul Ward on the Affair.

By reference to another column twill be
seen that the British government, through Her
Maiesty's ousul at this port, Mr. William
Ward, has offered a reward for the arrest of
the murderers of Lord Frederick Cavendish
and Under Secretary Burke. Similar instruc-
tions have no doubt been issued to all of Her
Majesty's representatives in this country, and,
while it is doubtful if the miscreants ever
reach our shores, such an event might hap
pen and should be prepared for.
Mr.. Ward does not believe tho crime should
be laid to the Land League He thinks it
more than probable the murderers were men
who owed grudge to the government on ac-
count of some offense of which they had been
guilty and, perhaps punished for, and who
laid the source of their troubles at the door of
Mr.. Burke. He believes that Lord Frederick
Cavendish would never have suffered If he
had not been Burke's companion and, probably,
attempted to rescue him from the attacks OF
his adversaries. AT any rate it was inconceiv-
able that any one connected with the Land
League should have been guilty of such a
piece of folly.
Mr.. Ward did rot share in the opinion of
SooNooAAAo
downfall Of the Gladstone government. Mr.
Gladstone is too cool, too prudent, with too
little sentimentality about him, to be over
borne in position like the present. He will
have the support of the Conservatives rather
than their opposition. If Beaconsfield had
been alive then perhaps there might have been
some danger from the "Jingo" element. But
the Conservatives really had been coquetting
with the Nationals for some little time before
the change of the Gladstone policy. Mr..
Gladstone adopted the coercive policy more
for the reason that he desired to keep certain
bad men under. When no found that they
must necessarily come to the surface as well as
the good men, then he simply anticipated the
action of the Conservatives. Mr.. Ward
thought it was not improbable that, like the
assassination of Garfield which stopped the al
tercations between Stalwarts and Half-Breeds,
and caused o most Harmonious feeling be-
tween the two, the assassination of Cavendish
and Burke may result in better understand
ing and better feeling between the parties all
over England and Ireland and eventually
benefit the beautiful isle of the sea.

The Germs of Malaria,
Ne1U York Sun.


The more we know of the causes of
any particular form of disease the more
likely we are to discover how to cure It.
Such is the common notion, and we be-
lieve it is affirmed by the experience of
men of science.
The particular form of disease which
people have become accustomed to speak
of malaria is mysterious in its origin.
Whether it occurs except as the result of
miasmatic eXhalations may be doubted.
Physicians now class malarious affections
together as paludal diseases, so called
from the Latin word paLlIS Simplifying a
marsh. Having endeavored in vain to
detect any organisms in the atmosphere
to which these characteristic fevers might
be attributed. they have lately looked for
the germs of cOptagiOn in the blood of
the patients, and here says the London
Lancet, the search appears at last TO be
near a successful issue.
The investigation has been conducted
by two French PSYCHOLOGISTS, Laveran
and Richard. They find a peculiar
parasite in the blood of persons suffering
from malaria. 1t is invariably present
in such cases, but has not been discovered
in any other disease. 1t inhabits the red
corpuscles of the blood, leaves them
when fully developed, and after about
an hour of independent life apparently
perishes. Each corpuscle tenanted by
one of these organisms seems to be rem
dered heavy and less mobile by its pres
ence, and as millions of corpuscles are
thus affected during the height of the
disease, the enfeebled circulation which
is so frequent a symptom may be &C
counted for by this action of the parasites
in clOgging the blood. When we learn
also that a dilute solution of quinine
quiets and seems to kill these character.
istic germs, we are still more inclined to
regard them as true causes of malarious
disease.
The next question is where do they
come from Our learned medical CON
temporary does not yet extend its in
quiry as far as that, but it is question
which will probably be answered in the
future. The doctors are already sug-
costing the prevention of pulmonary
consumption by a process akin to vac
cinatiOn. We shall not be surprised if
ere long they propose 10 protect people
against malaria in some similar way
Is it not coming to be the cardinal
principle of preventive medicine to
inoculate everybody with all diseases in
the mildest possible form, in order thus
to ward off more malignant attacks
