AwFCI. RESULT FROM WHIsKEY.-lIOn. Philip
B. Thompson, congressman from the Iiarrods
burg district in Kentucky, last Friday morning,
on the train for Chicago, shot and killed Walter
II. Davis for the seduction of his wife. Mrs
Thompson was addicted to liquor, which Davis
knew, and plying her with drink took advantage
Of hcr condition to accomplish her rum.
Mr. Thompson is meeting with much popular
sympathy in Kentucky. The Louisville Courier

Mad Dogs at Davidson College.

i'y by a mad-dog coming through the streets,

10 poor Jacks lot-a little black dog OF ;he

igree but nevertheless beloved by all the campass,
of whom he was the common property-to be his
victim. After the Bellam of confusion which
is natural to college boys in any stirring thing
that comes along, order was so far restored as
to try to arrive at some conclusion as to what
must be done with poor Jacks case. 1.-The dog
man of the college called on to examine
table was brought out of room and n lamp
placed on it. breathless silence lowered over
the many faces that surrounded the table while
the dog man with thickly gloved hands pro
cecdcd to examine Poor Jack. Then came the
sad verdict, that Jack must die.
The temporarily lulled confusion again rose
to its height, as to how he must be killed Some
said that the military company ought to be called
out next day and kill Jack with full military
honors, as q mark Of esteem, even if he did get
in bad company. All were agreed in the senti,
ment of respect, but the Question sprung up
suppose he was allowed to run loose until mex
day, he might bite of the boys and he
might bite some other boy, and the whole might
go mad" SO it was decided to kill Jack right

The Nature of ninhtheria.

DR.. II. c. Wood, professor Of experiment
tai pathology in the University of Penn
sylvania, a member of the commission
appointed by the United States Govern
ment to make researches into the nature
of diphtheria, after having spent several
years in the work, recently gave the re-
suits of his investigation in a lecture IN
PHILADELPHIA. He said that diphtheria,
Group and gangrene are identical diseases;
that diphtheria is by no means limited to
What we see in the pharynx, as any
abraded surface may be transformed
with genuine case of diphtheria; that IT
is a local and not constitutional disease;
that any sore throat may become diphthe-
rite without any cOntagion; that dlph-
theritic poison injected into the blood is
perfectly harmless, il first being necessary
TO make wound and keep il in state Of
irritation before diphtheritic poison intro
duced into it could produce the desired
effect; that the disease abOunds in low,
swampy places; that diphtheria and mi
crocOcci, minute vegetable fungi, are in
separately ass0ciated-''nO micrOcocci, no
diphthePia"--said the doctor; that the
diphtheritic poison cannot affect healthy
person; there must be an abraded surface,
and no healthy child can get it unless it
has a sore throat already: that. in his
opinion, micrOcOcci did not produce the
initial lesion; that any sore throat may
end i'm diphtheria, and the line cannot be
drawn where sore throat ends and diph-
liberia begins; and, finally, that dipththe-
ria is spontaneous disease and not infec-
tiOus, strictly speaking:

Travels of an Unsigned Check

The Washington Post in recent issue
says: "a remarkable instance of the pc
culiar oversights that occur in the bust
ness world came to light at the counter of
the cash r9om in the Treasury Depart
ment a day or TWO ago. Some months
since the disbursing Office Of the United
States Geological Survey forWafded 10 ore
of the attaches of the survey in a distant
Territory check covering the amount of
salary due HIM. Upon receipt OF this
check the party in whose favor
il was drawn Endorsed it, and obtained
the cash fer i of the nearest post trader.
The check was usei by the trader
in making his settlements ali slowly
moved eastward. From Chicago IL was
forwarded to New York, and in course OF
exchange passed through the Clearing
House. Subsequently it was sent to
Messrs. Riggs & Co., OF ibis city, for col
lection, il being drawn upon the United
States Treasurer here. In Its travels the
check has passed through many hands,
and the Endorsements ON the back of ii
represented institutions whose capital ag-
gregated many millions When if was pre-
senfed in the cash room for payment for
the first time in all its jourueyings, il was
discovered that the check had not been
signed by the disbursing officer who drew
IT. This defect was remedied as soon as
the attention of that official was called TO
X. and the amount called for by the check
paid oser 10 Riggs & Co. The strange
feature of the matter is that such mate
rial defeat as the lack of signature TO a
check should not have been discovered by
some of the many banking experts
through whose hands it passed.

There are 81 Church of England Bishops
in England and Wales, Of whom II are
Oxford men and IA Cambridge, while II
are Conservatives and IA Liberals, though
the Oxford men and the Conservatives are
not, as these figures might imply, CORE
spandent to each other. Nine of the Ok
ford men, in fact, are Liberals, and OF
the Cambridge men are Conservatives.
The oldest OF the 81 is Bishop DurnfOrd, OF
Chichester, who is 81: the youngest,
Bishop Wilberforce, of Newcastle, who is
Al. The highest salary is that Of DIR. Ben
son, the new Archbishop of Canterbury,
$4,000; the next are those of Archbishop
Thompson, of York, and Bishop jackson, OF
London, each $4,000, the next is that OF
Bishop LightfoOt, of Durham, S4O,OCO, ana
the lowest is that of Bishop Wilkinson, oil
Truro, the See from which DIR. Benson was
promoted to Canterbury. The number OF
iiVings possessed by some of the Bishops
is as follows; Canterbury, lSj; York, 16SS;
London, 175; Manchester, 124; Oxford,
1l2; st. David's, 1856; Durham, ia; Lich-

The Western Floods.

For years past well nigh every section
Of this country has been visited by oe-
structiYe floods. The greatest devasta-
ton. however, has come with recent mum
datiOns. The ruin wrought last year III
the lower Mississippi valley was immense,
but is equaled by the destruction just
caused throughout the section watered by
the Ohio and its tributaries. At a dis
tance from the scene one can form but
faint conception Of the magnitude of the
disasters. but when we are
told that thousands of families are
homeless and destitute. that fOurishing
towns are half Obliterated, and that such
cities as Cincinnati aud Louisville have
suffered losses that il will require large
expenditures of time and capital to re-
pair, we can Judge of the measure Of the
disasters and the needs they have brought
about.
No doubt, the generosity of the country
will be prompt TO respond TO the calls OIL
the distressed. but it Is to be feared that
ere the sufferers by the recent inundation
are relieved. the people resld-
inc along the lower Missis sippi
may he i'm similar plight.
The breaking of levees is an OminOus
sign. but it is to be hoped that the force OF
the inundatiOn having been spent above,
the southern region may be spared from
another disastrous overflow,
The frequency OF these disasters begets
inquiry as 10 their canses. Whatever
minor causes may contribute toward
their occurrence, the primary cause. OF
these monster floods is. undoubtedly, the
stripping Of our forests. Forests act as
restraint upon the floods by engendering a
spOngy soil of decayed leaves which acts
like sponge by preventing the water
from rushing of Immediately. Aforest soil
of decayed leaves, mixed with earth, per-
mits the melted snow or the accumulated
rain to fiOW gently down the hillsides and
into the valleys aud into the streams
whose rise is very gradual and not abrupt
and violent as in a fOrest-denuded cOun-
try. When the hills are cleared the soil
loses its spOngy character and hardens,
and the snow melts speedily and the heavy
rains rush of instantly, choking the tribu'
taries with a swiFlilg flood and suddenly
raising a river to great height.
+ The time may have gone by to prepare
for securing comparative exemption from
iaHldatiOns by seeking to restore our for
ests, but there is opportunity to miti
gate theiriviOlence. This can only be done
by restoring to the soil It's protecting
grGWths OF timber.

A correspondent writes that three-year
old steers in good condition, worth on the
range in Montana eighteen dollars, have
cost not more than five or six dollars to
raise. And a band of sheep, by the sale
of wool and natural increase, unless raw
aged by disease, has frequently brought
profit OF 200 per cent. upon its cost IN
the first three years after it was estaD-
lished on a range.
In Pittsburg thirty years ago, writer
described ''twenty rolling mills employ
ing 2,72O hands, producing $1,000 tons Of
merchantable iron, and representing S4,-

In 1881 the amount of capital invested
had increased to SIS, 020, 900. and the num-
Der ofhands employed to Il, 800. The seven
teen steel manufactures of to-day, which

duct in 1881 was valued at $lS,37S, $50,

Ever since the famous Beecher-Tilton
trial the university authorities at Ann
Arbor have refused to admit either one, as
we'll as Ingersoll, to the university plat
form. Time has worn away the prejudice
as to Beecher, who addressed an audience
of 1880 persons there the other night.
Whether Messrs. Mace and Slade Will be
allowed the freedom of the university
platform will probably be decided when
those two gentlemen shall have arrived IN

A writer in the London Spectator draws

green paint, oyertopped spOradically by
enormous piles of heavily ornate archi-
lecture, and Overshadowed by network
of wires and by the elevated railroad.
Nor is the street population an attractive
one. The women are terribly Overdressed,

The Stakes to High

In reply to some one who asked him
why he did not enter the Senatorial con-
test in Colorado, Congressman Bedford
said: "There is no chance for me in
that jackpot. They have already got IL
up to 81, 600, 900, and haven't got single
opener; and, if had, there are men
playing at that game who would bet 'em
so high that they would make any COM
mon man lay down a Jack FULL" The

emily an exceedingly costly operation.
