Whole communities IN the west are signing
petitions for the pardon Of Mason, the assassin
of Guteau. Because Rev. S. s. Mcmahon, of
Rising Sun, Ind, was the only man In the place
who refused to sign, the sentiment against him
is so strong that he may have to give up his
church.
The warden Of the Illinois penitentiary says
that James Burke died in that prison Of grief
and remorse. He slew his brother, and court
was sentenced TO only hYe years imprisonment.
But his own estimate Of bis guilt was mucn

ViviSectiOM and the Diseases of AMI
mails.

lntiiS.
The mystery which surrounds the origin. de
velopment and course Of many deadly maladies
Of man and beast has ever proved a terrible OBJ
stacle to their prevention cure. 1.-The pesti-
leEce that walketh III darkness" devastating the
hearth and the homestead. the herd and the
flock, and striking terror into the stoutest
heart, has been ascribed to a masma. a ''sOme-
thing in the air, as vague as it was dreaded and
uncomfortable. Other scOurges. which. because
of their constant presence and less sudden and
general fatality. were not so appalling were
nevertheless grave and harassing in their con-
sequences and quite as obscure in their origin.
1t is with these mysterious diseases more espe-
cially that experimental pathology has been
called upon to deal. and perhaps no more
astonishing chapter in the romance of science
could be written than that for which this branch
OF investigation has already supplied the
materials. AS | hope to show, the benefits
which these experiments on living animals have
yielded are already great; while prospectively
tile same method promises to change half the
art OF medicine, from curative system, with
all its difficulties and uncertainties, to pre-
ventive or protective one, applicable no less to
animals than to mankind. How much pain and
sickness will the world then be spared! How much
loss, embarrassment to commerce and danger to
human and animal life will then be ayerted!
The contagious and Infectious disorders are
those which have ever been most destructive
and intractabe. Some of these are special to
the human race. Others to one or more species
of animals; while some, again, are widely trans
missible from species to species.
Many of those affecting the lower
creatures can lbe conveyed to man-as
rabies. CHAMBERS. anthrax. foot and mouth dis
ease and probably tuberculosis and dphtheria
There are also the parasitic diseases Of animals.
several of which may be transmitted to our
seives-as trichnosis and those due to various
kinds of worms and to vegetable parasites The
Intimate nature of the infective materials or
co'ttagid, of communicable maladies is a dis
covery of almost yesterday; but it has thrown
food OF light on their phenomena. and, with the
aid OF experimental pathology. will enable us in
all probability eitherto abolish them altogether
both in man and beast. or at least to render
them nearly harmless. The agents in the trans
mission of contagious diseases-proved in some
cases. and probably present in all-are minute
organisms, which need almost the highest mag
nifying power Of the microscope in order to ex-
anime them. They are endowed with most mar
velous powers OF multiplication, which enable
them to act with deadly energy in a very brief
space of time. Their discovery as Iethal agen-
cies was only, couh only be- determined by
means of experiments on living animals. -

Huxley the Fighter.


He is the fighting man of the evolutionary
party. He does not seek to conciliate, to COM
promise, to win over opponents his verdict is
for open war, and he would smite the enemy hip
and thigh in their own stronghold. Mr.. OAR
win is careful never unnecessarily to rouse the
prejudices or hurt the prec0nceptions of his
readers even Mr.. Herbert Spencer adopts a
tone Of reconciliation when he has to deal with
such questions as the relation of science to
religion; and the younger evolutiOnists, as q
Glle, strive either to minimize the points of
difference. or else to glide lightly over the thin
ice without exciting the fears or doubts of the
bystanders. But Professor Huxley is full of the
youthful ardOr which inspired him twenty years
ago, when the doctrine Of descent was still
new struggling theory, and he remains true
even now to the tactics which were perhaps ne
cessary at the opening of the Darwinian cam
paign. To apply famous parallel in new d.
recti0n, he Ia the Rupert Of biological discus
sion. He Is always ready to dash at 'em, and
carries his readers with him by the mere force
of his pluck and gallantry. Whether this is
the best strategy in the long run may not be
certain; perhaps he alienates and frightens by
his bOldness at least as manv waverers as he
captivates by his nerve; but at any rate, his
peculiar dashing style makes his essays thor
Oughly readable, and gives his arguments all the
interest of q good fight.

From the London Truth
When physicians discovered that pain could
be subdued by inserting under the skin small
pointed instrument provided with a tube con-
tanning morphia, they little thought that they
were paving the way for a new vice. Yet so it
was There are in our merry England beings who
are as wholly under the domination of morpha
as ever was Chinese under that of opium.
Women have yielded by degrees to its fatal fas-
cination, until at last they prick the skin 8
dozen times q day with the tiny syringe that
has such terrible results. The operation is al
most painless the immediate effects pleasant
delicious languor supervenes. Happy
thoughts, bright imaginings fill the mind
Some see beautiful Visions others feel only a
pervading sensation of comfort and well-being.
On few. the effect of morpha is to excite to
some intellectual effort if effort that can be called
which is pure delight, q glorious feeling of un-
tra,nmeied power of uncrippied exercise of
the highest faculties 1t is as though the mind
had suddenly developed wings. But at the
very height Of the eneaantment the influence of
the mOrphia begins to subside. The glory
fades. The wings trail, and the feet that are
their sorry substitute become weighted as with
lead AS with the workers. so with the
dreamers. The visions are obscured. The SEN
satiOn OF comfort gives place to one of discom-
Tort, irritation, even pain. The mental vision
that had just now looked through a rosy mist
sees all things as through q Grape veil or No
vember fog. Can it be wondered at that tine
dose is renewed. that the poison is absorbed
again and again. that the intervals become
shorter and shorter between the reign of the
pc tent drug?
And the end? The punishment is terrible in
deed. By degrees the mind becomes darkened.
Hideous Authorizations seize upon it. Self-con-
troll is lost. Imbecility overtakes the weak
Madness threatens the strong.
These are the personal consequences There
are others to be bequeathed to sons and daughters
and to the later generations. These can be
guessed at. The new vice has not reigned
sufficiently long for the world to have seen
them exenplified; but a dark array of posi-
bilities suggests itself but too readily. The
heritage of insanity. of inebriety. of imbecility
will in future days be traced back to those tiny
tubes which hold but a drop or too. and to
which men once looked as to blessed means
of relieving pain. forgetting that blessings and
curses go hand in hand in crooked world.
DipsOmania has now a powerful rival, speedier
in its results than it's own revolving process and
eventually az degrading. The name of the
later-bOrn sister-1end is Morphiomania.

The president last Friday sent in
the name of Roscoe Conkling to be
associate justice of the supreme
court, and A. A. Sargent to be min
lister to Germany. The appoint
ment of ConkliLg was a wise move
from the presidents standpoint. 1t
pays a personal debt Of gratitude
with compound interest aud then it
removes an obstacle to a second
term. Very few papers approve the
appointment except upon that
ground, He is q very wise man DO
Ilitically and good lawyer doubt
less, but it is denied that be is pos
sessed of that discrimination and
staunch learning necessary to the
high office for which he is named
Grant proffered him the place in
1878 and he declined. He was then
in the heat of politics. He Is In
voluntary retirement now, but be
has come to see that his act, intend
ed only to be temporary, is accept
ed as perpetual by the country, and
if he comes to the front again he
must do so through another avenue.
The appointment is an insulting
slap-in the-face to GarGeld's memo
ry. Conkling furnished the inspira-
ton OF Guiteau and his act led to the
murder of the president. He could
be convicted as pGrticepS crinainis in
intent and Of Involuntary man
slaughter in deed. Now he comes
to sit in a high place made attaina-
bic by his act and to fiddle over his
havoc. This is not out of keeping
with the usages of his party, how
ever, and does not dIsquslify him,
and such schemes as this have be
come so common that we have
learned to endure them without
murmuring. He may accept the
office as a means of exit from seclu-
sion, but if he thinks he sees any
other way out he will again decline
to be wrapped up in sombre toga,
tied up with red tape and laid on a
shelf to must with the played outs
