4 learned German scientific person
has Just made what is heralded by the
press as Il grand discovery. He claims
that he has discovered the origin and
true nature of tuberculous consumption.
A microscopic parasite is at the bottom
OF all tuberculous mischief. If one of
these parasites-known in science as
bacilli-is introduced into the blood of
man or any other animal in possession
of pair of lungs those lungs will soon
afterward be found to be full of tuber-
cleS, and the tubercles themselves to be
full of bacilli. This learned German.
whose name is Koch has tried innum-
cradle experiments in connection with
the newly discovered parasite, and has
inoculated any quantity of rabbits, gum
en- pigs and other inexpensive beasts
with tuberculouS consumption. There
can be no doubt but that he really has
discovered the cause of tuberculous con-
sumption and other cognate diseases;
and now he has only to discover how to
kill his pet parasite in order to Danish
tubercles from the human race forever.
Prof. Koch is already inclined to the
idea that n remedy for tuberculous con-
alogous to consumption. DR.. Jenner
discovered that by inoculating human
beings with the mild form Of smallpox,
TO which COWS are addicted, immunity
from the human variety of smallpox
could be secured Prof Koch thinks
that by inoculating rabbits with bacilli
a mild form of tuberculous disease may
be developed and that this mild form of
disease when communicated by inocula-
ton TO human beings, may prove to be
a prevention against a more serious
form of tubercles. This is a beautiful
theory and it holds out to us the hope
that tuberculous consumption may in
time become almost unknown.
While it follows from Prof. Koch's
discovery that consumption is an infec-
tious disease, and that the Italian hotel
keepers are right in insisting that a
room in which consumptive patient
has died should be thoroughly disinfect-
ed, there are one or two facts which APP
pear To conflict with this theory of the
origin of tubercleS. Why should men be
more liable to consumption at certain
periods more than they are at others?
For example. why should the bacilli be
particularly fond OF attacking men be-
tween the ages of 81 and 33? Other
questions equally difficult to answer, if
the Koch theory is true, win occur to
the medical men, Still, there is so much
undeniably true in the discovery of BAG
ILL made by Prof Koch, that his theory
will probably be adopted. In a few
years people will be inoeulated with the

neer, and at one time 4 banker and pol
itician, died at Oakland at the age of Is.
In the early days of California he was a
member of the firm OF Palmer, Cook &
Co.. in bank which did an immense
business, and whose influence was felt
throughout the state. To show his read
mess to adopt an original method in an
emergency it is related that depositor
once called to draw q large sum of mon
ey (S2S, 000) from the bank. Mr.. Palm
er's consent was necessary, but he was
at lumber yard mile or more from
the bank. Thither the depositor hasten
ed and made known his wants. Mr..
Palmer could find neither pen, pencil or
paper, but without a moments hesita-
ton he picked up shingle, borrowed a
piece of red chalk, and wrote in large,
distinct letters check for $4,000. 1t
was good, when presented, for all mon
eys the depositor had in the bank, and
proved good advertisement. 1t won

DR.. Hollands First Poem.

The first article of mine that ever saw
the light was little poem of four stanzas
entitled James Tree" A little lad,
son of the late Judge Dewey, CT Massa-
chusetts, stuck willow twig into the
ground of his fathers garden, which
took root after the manner of such twigs,
and grew into a tree. The boy lived
long enough to call this tree his own,
and to secure its protection as such, and
then died. After lis death l wrote the
poem, and it was published in The
Youths Companion, a publication still
prosperous. was then seventeen years
old. 1 took the printed copy containing
it from the postofice, peeped within
and then walked home ON air. / shall

Furnishing A Friend.

Apropos of Gen. Sherman's visit to
Denver, a story is told of the generals
experience with Henry Clay Dean.
The two had been friends for wears,
and when Sherman became general and
Dean happened to be in Washington,
the latter naturally enough, felt desire
to renew the old acquaintance So he
called a. Sherman's house, and the gen
eral received him with open arms. They
talked over old times, and nothing
would do but Dean must STAY to dinner.
But, general" demonstrated Mrs.
Sherman in her husbands ear. II can't
have such dirty-looking man at my
table; can't you spruce him up little?"
The general said he'd fix that, and so at
an opportune moment he hustled Mr..
Dean up stairs, ransscked bureau and
produced a clean shirt for him to put on.
Mrs. Sherman was notified and the din
ner was really charming affair, for
there is no more delightful, entertaining
and instructive conversationalist than
Henry Clay Dean. One year after this
event Gen. Sherman was at the Lindell
house, st. Louis, with his family A
card was brought up bearing Henry
Clay Deans name. Mrs Sherman was
very much pleased. HE is such
charming talker, we must have him to
dinner. Only, you must see that he
looks presentable." These were mad
ANS words to the warrior. So Sherman
welcomed Dean. and just before going
to dinner, slipped into side room and
gave him clean shirt to wear. Dean
dotted his coat and vest, and. after a
brief struggle, Invested himself of the
shirt he had on-a soiled. grimy, black
thing. that looked as if it had seen long
and hard service. Then they all went
down to dinner, and Mr.. Dean was
more charming than ever and Mrs.
Sherman was in ecstasies. The next
day rs Mrs. Sherman was getting her
husbands buds and clothing together
preparatory to packing them for the on
ward march, she gave a sort of q wild,
hunted scream. "What is it my dear?"
called the general from the next room.
Just come in here for minute" re-
piled Mrs. Sherman, between faint
gasps. The general went in! There
stood Mrs. Sherman holding in her left
hand the begrimed shirt Henry Clay
Dean had left With her right hand she
pointed to certain initials on the lower
edge of the, bosom. The initials read
"W. I. s. 1t was the identical shirt

Judgment Affirmed.

WASHINGTON, ID. G., May -. jus
tico James this morning announced the
decision Of the court in banc upon the
exceptions in the Guiteau case, DENYING
a new trial and affirming the Judgment
below. Justice IIagner, in separate
opinion. discussed the bearings of the
old Maryland law, and held that even
under the Maryland act of 1885, the
Indictment would have been good in
this district, and Judge Carter stated
that the opinions given were the unani-
nous opinions of the court. The court
holds that jurisdiction is complete where
a fatal blow is struck, without regard to
the locality of actual demise; that the
bullet fired AT the President bv Guiteau
ou the FL of july, in this city, was the
cause of his death. and that the trial
could only have been held in Washing
ton; that the death of the President in
New Jersey, except rs affected BY local
statutes, could not change jurisdiction

whole, more valuable discovery than
that of DIR. Koch 1t has long been no.
ticed that broken legs prevail in thickly
settled regions much more generally
than in thinly settled regions. 1t is also
undeniable that where railroads pene-
tl'ate broken legs soon become common.
These facts are sufficient to enable us
to presume that there is something in
thickly settled regions that is favorable
to the development of broken legs, and
that this neutrality-suspicious. it may
be-is carried far and wide by railroad
trains. DR.. Bull, who is an ardent be-
lever in the germ theory of nearly all
diseases, claims that he has discovered
a valuable parasite which infests human
trousers and broken legs Within the
past year he has examined with the mi
croscope thirty six cases of broken legs,
and in every case has found these para
sites in the accompanying trousers. In
the course of the last six months he mas
placed garments cut after the manner
of trousers and iroculated with the par
asite in question upon the fore legs of
eighteen cats. thirteen of which were af-
terward found in steel trap set for the
purpose in the Doctors back yard, each
with fore leg broken. He also tired a
similar experiment upon seven cows be-
longing to his wife, six of which were
afterward run over by railroad trains
the White River and Sheboygan railroad
running directly through the cow pas
tilre-and sustained compound fractures
OF more or less of their legs.
Having thus fully established the fact
that broken legs are produced by par
asite injecting the trousers, DR.. Bull
maintains with much plausihility that,
by inoculating human trousers with the
parasite after it has been artifcially
bred in trousers supplied for the pur-
pose to cattle. men will be fully pro-
tected against broken legs. So far as
the non-scientific mind can perceive the
Doctors plan is an admirable one. II
we can by so simple means as the in
oculation of trousers put an end to the
widespread havoc yearly wrought by
broken legs, humanity will owe to DIR.
Bull debt which it can never repay,
and the name of Bull will be inscribed
on all sorts of monuments by the side of
the equally revered names OF Koch and
Jennel. --NeW York Times.
