MALARIA.

0AAAA1AASAAa
 Malaria is marchinR on and nobody seems able to stop it, or even to explain it's causes For want of 8 better theory some scientific gentleman has lately charged the villainous mosquito with being the chief instrument in the spread of the disease. As the mosquito cannot rspel the charge, and has no friends to do it for him, it is probable that he will be believed guilty by many Ion general princi- ples."
 If there Is anything certain about malaria that certainly was supposed to be It's connsc- ton with marshes. But at the annual meet. ing of the American Public Health association in Detroit few days ago physician who lives in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, gave some testimony which goes to show that the dis ease is not dependent for its existence and growth upon 8 marsh. Fond du Lao is 8 town of about 14, GOO inhabitants, lying at the foot of Lake Winnebsgo, and at an average elevation of only dozen feet above the wa ter; sluggish stream furnishes the only sew craze by means of surface drainage, and be- tween the city and lake there is stretch of marsh land, which is often oyerAowed by water driven back from the lake by high winds. All the conditions are here for mala ria, and yet, after thirty years practice, this physician says that he has never known @ case of malarial fever in Fond du Lac, and the town is exceptionally healthy, the death rate being but nine per thousand annually.
 This was the Fond du Lao mans story. Other doctors gave their testimony, but there was no agreement. One from Grsenville, South Carolina, reported that there was no malaria in that region when he went there, but it began to prevail as the lands were cleared for cotton planting. A livingstone, Alabama, man told how malaria appeared in Sumter county when the settlers began re- ducing the wild lands to cultivation; how this type of fever gradually died out and was supplanted by typhoid, and how in 1866 an- other mHlariaI wave struck the country and did not move away for eight years. A New Orleans physician said that when the swamps behind that city were kept full of water there was no malaria, bus soon as they began to dry up the fever would break out.
 And so forth and so on. Deep drainage was the only practical measure proposed for checking the disease. This of course pro- cesds on the swamp theory. Another theory which is growing in favor is that s'mslAria is 8 profound Reorganization of the nervous mechanism that presides ovGr the tempera- ture of the body" This will de for awhile The truth appears to be that nobody knows much about malaria, except that 1t Is 8 very dissgreeAble and deadly thing.

A curious and unpleasant scene lately oc- cured at St. Georges, Hanover square, Lon dc2. A couple were about to be married I; bat as the lady had been defendant in 8 ci- voros suit the rector was opposed to the ms r. riage, entertaining conscientious soruples on the subject. The bridegroom had therefore secured the offices of another clergyman, the breadth of whose ideas on the marriage question is well known. He was present, and all promised to go smoothly, when obstacles suddenly presented themselves, owing to the fact ttat permission had neither been asked nor ob- tained from the rector of the church. When the gentleman who desired to offciate made his appearance, the loan of 8 surplice Vas denied him, but some one overcame that difficulty by rushing out and buying one. But the trouble did not end here, for two stalwart curates resolutely barred the pas sage of the reverend gentleman, preventing his entering the church, where the bride was anxiously awaiting her swain. Eventually the contest was abandoned, and ths wedding party retired from the scene of action, the unweddsd bride being taken away in faint ing condition.

Judge George G. Barrett, of the Supreme about his idea of capital punishment: When I first went on the bench I held the strong est opinions against capital puniShment. When it became my duty to sentence the first prisoner convicted before me Of mur- der in the first degree, for several hours seriously contemplated rssigning my judicial position rather than pronounce the son- tence of death. I ovsrcame the feeling, however, sufficiently to go through my part. But actually apologizsd to the culpritiwh hen I sentenced him. told him that it was not 1, his fellowman, who was killing him; but it was the sovereign people of the State of New York acting through me merely as an instrument, and much more of the same sort. know was deeply affected; probably seemed to the spectators paler and more overcome than the prisoner, for remember ths sensation it made in the court room I have been able since to subdue these feelings and have sentenced to death many murderers with much less distress and probably no apparent emotion. And as the years have gone on I have found my views sn the subject of capital punishment grsdu- ally becoming modified, until nov I am not entirely persuaded that it is not best, and the necessary rule for the preservation of society and the sanetity of life, that he who
 nurderously sheds mans blood should die by the hands of the law.

Some colOrea people living in Boston and the vicinity have started 8 new political or g anization under the title of the Sumner Na- tional Independents. and issued an address to the people of the United States. It is their primary aim to secure proper respect and due consideration for all citizens, with out regard to color, race, nativity OF faith; and their secondary purpose is to favor such lines of policy as tend to improve the condi- ton of the people generally. To carry ont this comprehensive programme they have formed an independent political organization They invite the cooperation of all citizens, more especially of the colorsd people, throughout the country, and declare their willingness to affiliate with any party that takes it's stand upon their platform and sim cerely pledges itself to respect the civil and political rights of the coiored race.

The experiments which have for some time been in progress in Baku, the oil center of the Caspian oil fields, for putting into prac- tice the discovery lately made for solidifying kerosene have, it is said, at length been crowned with success, and some thousands of tons of the new article are in process of prep aration for the European market By cer- tain process, it seems that kerosene and other similar oils can be converted into 8 substance having the appearance of tallow, and can be made to revert again to their original liquid condition without in the least impairing their properties. The process, it appears, has been secured by a wealthy Swe- dish firm in Baku that can now utilize the discovery only so far ss it suits their own in- terests. The form in which they intend to employ it for the moment, it is said, consists in the manufacture of candles from kerosene and grosser petroleum products, which can be produced at Baku, according to reports, at price which will enable the proprietary frn1-which has put nearly $5 0O0, ,OOO into the business-to undersell all other makers of candles not ohly in Russia but throughout the continent of Europe.

The memory is revived of Pittsburg, Pa, character, Miss Louisa Simpson, who was known for her peculiarities and her wealth. It was her habit to go about the city in an elegant carriage, attended by driver and g footman. and beside her she always had at least half dozen pet dogs. dressed in all sorts of colOrs. In the latter part of 1878 shs died, leaving very peculiar will which provided, among other things, for a trust fund to be used to purchase food and pro lection for her pet dogs. She directed that fifty cents week should be expended by her executor, Wm. Hoffman, for the purpose of buying meat and food for each of the dogs. The provisions of the will have been strictly adhered to by the executor, who has just filed his final account, which shows 8 balance in his hands of $172.43. The attorney for the executor stated. in filing the account, that the last dog was dead, and the trust was therefors at an end hence the desire of the executor to file his account and be dis charged
