How Theirs Was Frightened.
The CornhiH.

fNS OVTIutt'
In 1872, when the Count de Chambord
had gone to hold sort Of court at Antwerp,
and was generally thought to be on the eve
of getting restored to the French throne, M.
Theirs sent spies to watch his movements.
One of these was 80 ubiquitous that he ended
by attracting the attention Of two Of the
Bourbon Princes supporters, who were
Young noblemen fond of fun. These gen.
tlemen, keeping their eyes on the spy, found
that he was in the habit of spending his
evenings In q certain cafe on the Grand
Palace. Repairing to this establishment
they seated themselves near to their man
and began talking about the Count de Cham
bord's doings in whispers just loud enough
for the fellow to hear. The spy, Of course,
pricked up his ears; and soon he must have
been convinced that he was discovering
most valuable secrets. The young men re-
lated marvellous stories about the Princes
plans; the number of adherents he was gath
ering in France; and spoke Of the grand
coup detdt which was being prepared for
him by number of statesmen and generals
who hoped to take the country by surprise.
In great excitement the spy flashed this news
TO Versailles, and M. Theirs, who had no
wish to see the Count de Chambord.rest
communicated them to his private organ,
lie Bien Public. That creduleus newspaper
became remarkable during the next few days
for publishing the most extraordinary news
from Antwerp. Every day the spy had
something new TO relate out Of what he
picked up at his cafe, till at length
one of his hoaxers having carelessly let
fall letter, as IL by accident, the spy dis
covered, a. he fancied, an elaborate plot for
kidnapping M. Thiers. The letter stated in
effect that the Count de Chambord, having
resolved to seize upon the throne, was going
to have M. Theirs apprehended In the mid
die Of the night by certain General, whose
name was mentioned, and that meanwhile
another General would arrest M. Ganbetta.
M. Theirs was fussy little man who had a
great belief in plots, and on receipt Of the
tidings which apprised him that his liberty
was In danger he must have experienced
moments CONSERVATION, but before be could
take any steps to prepare for the threatened
coup detat the Union, Legitimist paper,
published chatting letter from Antwerp, In
which the hoax played upon the spy was re-
lated in detail. II. Theirs and the editor Of
LIE Bien Public, which always pretended TO
have no official connections, then looked
very foolish. As for the spy, L may Be
doubted whether, on his return to Paris, he
was received with smiling thanks.

The Cause of The Death of Gen. Garfield.
Translated for the LIGHT
Professor Esmarch, the renowned German
surgeon, in Kiel, few months ago gave
lecture in the physiological society of Kiel,
which has lately been made public.
This eminet surgeon stated facts which are
very detrimental to the American surgeons
who treated President Garfield. From the
results Of the history and autopsy, Esmarch
came to the conclusion that the president had
not received deadly wound, that no vital Or
CANS had been injured, and that the injury of
the spinal bone, which, although it did occur,
could have been healed, as shown by many
examples. Also, the bullet was not the cause
of the septcrmia. The substances which
progenate seplicnmia (Jlood- poisoning) there
fore must have been introduced from
the outside, and Professor Esmarch
plainly proves, according to the state
ments of the American physicians them
| selves, that to the great detriment of their pa
| tient they had not used the antiseptic, Lis
ters) method with the accuracy, it is handled
| in England and Germany. The antseptics
has been very incomplete, as also the technic
| of bandaging. AT the same time the patient
did not at all die through septicaemie, but
death was caused from hemorrhage, after his
vocal powers were exhausted in consequence
of the unscientifc treatment. The American
surgeons had done great deal too much in
the treatment of the President and had ne
elected the first principle in treating shot
wounds mot to cut" The puplic. Esmarch
says, of course believes yet the bullet was the
dangerous part; the soldier is unhappy, if the
extracted bullet is given in his hand. But the
surgeon should know, that the
bullet in most cases does not do
any harm whatever; the injury, which comes
from it, is produced by its course-the danger
which follows is derived in most cases from
the 'hngering' of the surgeon. The sur
geons who treated the president seem to have
labored under the influence of public opinion,
that too little was done. But according to
Esmarch's opinion, they have not done toe
little, but too much. Had all hunting after the
bullet been let alone, and had the wound been
treated really antiseptic at once after the
wounding, the president perhaps would be
living to-day, the same as the German EN-.
peror, from whom Won Langenheck did not
extract one Of the many small shot he had re.
ceived. M.

Change In the City MarshaIship.

part of this business is. that Ibis honor" has
seen fit to ignore the entire police force and
select az Capt. Shardein's successor, Mr.. Joe
Shelley, who was even sent for to Il distant
point in order that he might return to have the
Office bestowed upon him Either Capt. karber,
the list assistant marshal, or Capt. Hughes
would make good city marshal, and Capt.
Karber is entitled to it AS being second i'm com
mand, having proven himself to be an efficient
officer on all occasions. Why should ''his
honor send off for Joe Shelley? Not because
he believes he would make Il better officer than
Capt. karber or Tom Hughes, but because Joe
would he more available to "his honor no
doubt in the little game he is playing now in

people as Joe Shelley. and we will mention one
whose appointment would be generally ac-
quescd m-Capt. Ed. Stevens. Joe Shelley

AwnY with the tobacco Tnx.

In a sound article of its own on
the internal tax question, the
Brooklyn Union and Argus few
days since incorporated the follow
ing graphic paragraph clipped from
a recent number of the Philadelphia
Evening Bulletin
AS for the tobacco tax, tobacco is
not sOul-destroyer. The use of it
may sometimes be offensive, but so
is the use of onions. Tobacco does
not hurt public morals to any per-
ceptable extent, nor does farmer
deserve reprobation for growing it
side by side with wheat. The same
air and sunshine and rain nOurish
10th crops, and both have their uses.
The tax never yet prevented a man
from smoking and chewing though
no doubt, it has injured many by
compelling them to use adultera-
tions of the weed. Removal OF the
tax will not stimulate the practice
to any considerable extent; but it
will give larger margin of profit
to thousands who grow and prepare
tobacco, while it may stimulate the
export of an American product
which England takes good care to
tax heavily enough for both of US.
Abolition of the whole body of tax.
es will, we really believe, be a bless
ing to our country. 1t is impossi-
bic that the Government should seize,
every year, $50, 600, 900 of the hard
earnings of the people, without do
ing grave harm to the business of
the entire nation.
