Judge Advocate General Swain is
said to be really anxious to go on the
retired list of the army. and his friends
assert that he is suffering SO much from
nervous prostitution that it may be
necessary to place him there He would
welcome such solution OF his present
trouble. AS he has not served thirty
years, he could only get on retired list
for physical or mental incapacity, duly
certified by a Board Of Officers for that
purpose appointed.
The inquiry has been made whether
there is any means at the command of
the Federal Government to protect the
ports of the United States against a
cholera cOntagiOn and Congress has
been condemned by some newspapers
for adjoUrning without making some
provision. his is a mistake. In the
sundry civ bill there was an appro-
priation 100000 to be expended by
the Preside It in the case of threatened
or actual )idemics in aid Of State and
local Boards of Health or otherwise in
preventing and suppressing the spread
of the same and in maintaining quaran-
tine at ports of danger. This sum is
ample for the purpose, but State Boards
Of Health are so well organized at pres
ent that there does not appear to be any
necessity for Federal assistance.

That the small coins Of all nations
may be & most potent factor in dis
seminating disease is a discovery due
70 the researches Of DR.. Reinch. Ia
king specimens OF coin which had
been long in circulation, he scraped
off the thin organic incrustations,
which he then divided into small
pieces and Dissolved IN distilled water.
Microscopic inspection of the solution
disclosed abundance Of bacteria and
vegetable fungi. After this there is
ample reason for caution in handling
money made Of metal; and the danger
of filthy paper currency the public has
been long aware. Application to
coins Of boiling weak solution of
caustic potash will, however, free
them Of their organic impurities.
Withdraw from circulation of cid,
dirty dollor bills, and replacing them
by new one is perhaps the best way
to prevent paper money acting Incl
dentally a not inconsiderable role in
the mechanism of epidemics, as well
as of mercantile exchange directly.
