Persistence of Forms of Disease.


A disease remains the same in essence
no matter whom it attacks or what its
severitybe in the individual case. Each
contagious disease breeds only its own
kind and no other. When we expert
ment with an isolated disease-produc
ing germ. it causes always one and the
same affection, if it takes hold
at all. 4B
But evidence is beginning to accumu-
late that, though we cannot change one
species into another, we can modify the
power and activity, in short the viru-
lence in parasites. Pasteur has shown
that when the bacteria of chicken chol-
era are kept in an open vessel, exposed
to the air for many months, heirpower
to struggle with the. animal cells is
gradually enfeebled. Taken at any
stage during their decline of virulence,
and placed in Il fresh soil in which they
can grow. be it in the body of an animal
or outside, they multiply as before. But
the new breed has only the modified
viruIence of its parents and transmits
the same to its progeny. Though the
form of the parasite has been unaltered
its physiological activity has been modi-
fled; it produces no longer the fatal
form of chicken cholera. but only light
attack FROM which the animal RECEIVERS.
BY further enfeeblement of the parasite
the disease it gives to its host can be
reduced in severity to almost any eX-
tent These mild attacks, however.
protect the animal from repetitions. by
passing through the modified disease,
the chicken obtains immunity from the
fatal form. In the words of Pasteur, the
parasite can be transformed into a %'vac-
I cine Virus,' by cultivation under condi-
lions which enfeeble its power. The
splendid view is thus opened to us, of
vaccinating, some day, against all dis
eases-in which one attack grants i'm
munity against another. Pasteur has
succeeded in the same way in another
disease of much greater Importance,
namely, splenic fever. The parasite of
this affection has also been modified by
him, by special modes of cultivation, SO
as to produce mild attack, protecting
" against the graver form of the disease.
|, ,Pasteur's own accounts of his results
in yaccinating. against. anthrax, the
stock on French farms, are dazzling,
but repetition of his experiments in
other countries, by his own assistants,
has been less conclusive. In Hungary,
the: immunity obtained by vaccination
was not absolute, while the protective
vaccination itself destroyed some four
teen per cent. OF the herds.
.Yet, though much of the enthusiasm
generated by Pasteu's researches may
proceed further than the facts warrant,
he has at least opened anew path which
| promises to lead to results of the high

A Sad Case.

Mrs. Parvenu had recently furnished
her new house, and it was gorgeously
done. Everything was in style, and
the carpets were woven in one piece to
fit each room. III, Mrs. Parvenu has q
daughter, and of her she was talking to
a visitor. "Ah, Mrs. Parvenu," said
the lady, ''your daughter doesn't go
out much?" mo, not great deal. 1t
tires the poor dear so much. )" Indeed!
Isn't she well?'' 'sOh, yes we'll
enough; but. you see, at sod many of
the houses where she must call she. has
to walk over the seams in the carpets,
and it hurts the poor dear's feet and
makes her so tired" :

A few days ago boy gave a profess
sor's son young bird he had caught.
1t was taken home and left, to be taken
care of A little sister of the boy
found the bird, played with it until
tired, and then put it in her father S
boot for safe-keeping. The professor.
wishing to go down town, went to put
on his boot and got his foot nearly
home, when the bird began to futter
and jump around trying to escape.
The astonished man jerked the boot
from his foot, terribly frightened, and
yelled out, Snakes! I'm snake bit!'
Give me brandy! Send for the doctor!"
and there is no telling where the matter
would have ended if the little bird had
not fluttered out of the boot, and thus
revealed the cause of the trouble

The Commencement exercises Of
uhe Morgantown Female Seminary,
last Thursday evening, were of a
character that reflects great credit
upon the school. The essays of the
graduates were of a high order of
merit, and showed that their writers
lad ability and had given time and
attention to their performances. They
were delivered too, in manner
highly creditable. As to the music,
all we can say is, that it was all, each
and every part of it excellent. There
are few better facilities for the ac-
quirement of musical knowledge than
are afforded at our Female Seminary
We are glad to see it supported so
well by the people of the town and
vicinity, and wish that it might
extend its influence to other por-
tions Of the State.

The Regents Prize Essay was
read by Mr.. Matt. S, Hughes, on
last Monday evening. 1t is an
admirable essay in every respect,
evincing not only profound study
and deep research on the part of the
writer, but also an order of arrange
ment and clearness Of style that are
in themselves very creditable. The
subject is one of national import
ance and one that is now demanding
the attention Of our Legislators and
citizens. In the preparation Of his
essay, Mr.. Hughes has shown him
self completely master of the ques-
ton, and his forcible arguments and
their logical arrangements cannot
fail to to make deep impression up
on the mind of the readers.

Among the various rumors afoat
as to the probable course the. Board
of Regents will pursue, in regard to
the University, is one to the effect
that the office of President will be
abolished. While we are aware that
few persons are making consider
able effort in this direction, still we
have no fears that it will be done.
We have too much confidence in the
wisdom of the Board to think that it
would at this time make change of
such Importance. 1t is unnecessary for
US to enter into an argument to show
why the Office of President is an es-
sential to the permanent success of an
institution of learning. We believe
that it is, but at present that is not
the question. Even if the Presidency
were an unnecessary Office, and even
ifthe University would be better with
ont it, still it certainly would at this
time be inopportune to abolish it.
1t is but year since the curriculum
was abolished and the school system
substituted; change which, as a
matter OF course, caused q great deal
of friction in the work Of the Univer-
sity during the year now closing.
From this the school has not vet
nearly regained its equilibrium, and
now SO close upon change so radi-
cal, to make another equally so,would
certainly bring disastrous results.
A careful conservative course is the
best safe guard of the University.
We trust this is the light in which
this question will be viewed, and that
in the selection of president a Judi
cious choice will be made.
