the characteristic symptoms produced in
the development of blood disease in the
acute stage when produced by the intro
ductlon Into the system of the poison by
means of incubation. In some instance
the moculatien is much longer in devcl-
oping symptoms Of the disease. One or
two cases ale mentioned where the dis
ease did not manifest itself until the end
Of the third month after the virus had
been deposited into the system; it might
be well to state, however that the dis
cased used in these eases was obtained
from the iarcy ulSer aud that the disease
appeared at the precise point of the moe
nlation puncture. Snch instances as
these are very rare, and as rule we can
safely look FOR symptoms from three ta
ten days after the animal has been moe
ulated.

number of Presidential bees around, and
a distinguished Senator SAID to me to. day,
There is no telling where lightning may
strike when the storm is ON. and he
said it in just such way that the buzz
of the bee could lie heard.
Dark horses are often winners as in
Stances Polk and Fierce in the Demo
cratic party and Hayes ana Garfield in
the Republican party, but they don't de-
velope good staying qualities, and like
Vice Presidents who from any cause ste
cccd to the Presidency they have never
won in a second race While this is the
ease many of the best men in the ltepub-
lican party have barely been named in
connection with the Presidency when
they would honor the Office and the party
if nominated and elected.
As we have heretofore intimatcd as
likely, tie Democrats are generally set
Ting down to the idea of nominating ex-
Congressman Flower OF New York to
head tncir ticket. They entertain the
belief that if they nominate New York
man they can carry that State, Connec-
ticut and New Jersey and win. Ti'den
will not run, and your spondent
knows whereof he 81 leaks when he so
states, and Gov. Cleveland upset his Ket-
tie OF Presidential fish when he run
against John Kelly.
1t is believed ~ some here that if the
Morrison tariff bill should fail to pass
the House, or if the enacting clause
should be stricken out on next Tuesday,
when general debate on the measure will
be closed, it will at once divide the Dem
ocratic party. and that the free trade
element will take new departure and
proceed to organize new party. Car
Isle and Morrison believe that a party
having "a tariff fer revenue only as its
cardinal principle could, even this fall,
sweep three fourths Of the States OF the
Union. These free traders affect to be
greatly pleased with what was said and
done at the meeting o: the Boston bust
ness men III favor of the revenue-reform
movement the other day, and say that as
this is the greatest public question now
before the country, and that as it includes

parties, its agitation must necessarily

CORRESPONDENTS


NAsuINGroN, ID. C., May I, 1891.
The States having all held their con-
Ventions, the political mathcmaticans
are at work iignring up the votes and
certainly nominating their iavorites. If
the result ot these conventions prey cs
anything it proves that neither of the
prominent candidates will be nominated.
While either would be acceptable to your
correspondent, lie cannot shut his ewes
TO so plain ii foreshadowing of the action
of the Chicago convention, nor can he
shut his ears to the expressions of the
men now here who largely control in
shaping the dCStinieS not only of men but
OF ;,ariies. 1t is universally conceded
that the foolish antagoniSns shat have
by partisan feeling been permitted to de-
yci"p into personal abuse, hatred and
villilcatiun, have gone so far that the
nomination of either of the leading can
didates would at least endangcr success
which should not be iiskcd The dark
horses are therefore in order, and favor
lite sons will again have chance.
General Grant has always been popular
at the Capital, aud many Of his friends
confidently predict his nomination. Lin
coin has many admirers also, who say he
being the unanimous choice for second
place. an! the friends of the candidates
for first place having virtually made
their selection impossible, he is the legal
heir to the nomination. There are any

The Airs o. Spring.

Swee-y breathing, vernal air,
That with kind warmth doth repair
Winters ruins; from whose breast
All the gums and spice Of III East
Borrow their perfumes; whose eye
GildS the morn and clears the sky:
Whose dishcvcled treSSes shed
Pearls upon The violet bed;
| On whose brow, with calm smiles drest.
The halcyon sis and builds her nest;
Beauty, youth and endless spring
Dwell upon the rosy wing.
Thou, if stormy Boreas throws
Down whole forests when he blows,
With pregnant, tlowery birth
Canst refresh the teeming earth
If he nip the early bud;
If he blast what's fair or good:
| If he scatter our choice flowers:
If lie shake our halls or bowers:
| If his rude breath threaten us
| Thou canst stroke great -Eolus,
! And from him the grace obtain

HENRY WIKOFF DEAD.
DiplomatIst, Editor, Author and Gentle
man of Leisure

y cable dispatch from London an
nounces the death of Chevalier Wikoff
at Brighton, Saturday morning. About
a week a go he had a stroke of paralysis
from which he never rallied.
Henry Wikoff was born i'll Philadel-
phia about 1910. His father was man
of wealth and position, and a Deliver in
the advantages of art ard letters. He
died while his son was yet boy, but ap-
pears to have impressed upon him the
necessity of study III order to make a
mark in the world. After some years in
the Philadelphia srammer schools Henry
was sent to Princeton, \. j., riding in
his fathers carriage all the way from
Philadelphia, and entering his name on
the books of Mr.. Bands Academy in
July, 1923. According to his own ac-
count, he never strained to excel any
one at Princeton. He dallied playfully
with Greek and Latin, but was tloored
by the mysteries of mathematics. Latin
verse was more to his taste than the pons
asinorum, and SO he logged on. Twice a
year he returned to Philadelphia, enjoy
ing the mild designations of the town
and going back to his work, rs he adj
mitted, with i'll concealed disgust In
1896 his father died, leaving him the
greater part of his fortune, but consign
ing him 10 the cane of Mr.. s. p. Weth-
Grill until tie age of twenty one. This
arrangement rather disappointed Henry
Wikon. He was as eager to see the
whole world as Gil Bias was and had
disposition quite as much inclined for aG-
venture as that same young Spanish rake.
His guardian sent him to Yale, where he
remained for three years. For sleeping
out of the college one night and for
breaking ether rules of the faculty he

lie boldly faced his guardian, informed
him of lis misfortune. induced him
to sign a check, tried his luck at
Hartford, but was informed that any
student who had been elected from Yale
was an undesirable acquisition. Almost
in despair he threw himself upon the
mercy of DR.. Mott, of Union College,
Schenectady, who, after some parley.
was good enough to admit him to the
senior class. He graduated from there
in July, 1881, having had the torture
to elude DR.. Motifs watchful eye, which
was scarcely sharp enough to detect the
offender-youug in years, but old in mis-
chief.

MAY.

Light of foot and winning fair,
Show'ry gems amid her hair
Through wavering light and sha'ir,
BY The fitful snnbeams made.
Or through shimmering veil OF rain,
Dances down the fragrant lane.
This bright maid, VIII" draws each lover
By a charm none may discover.
Varying still from grave to gay,
Thousand fancies in day,
Singing medleys with snch trill
AS the resistless air must thrill.
Wild with wanton, eltsh glee,
Sad with freakish misery:
Now to tender tears heguiling,
Then to mirth with witchery willing;
First she pouts and says yon grere her,
Next entreats you not to leave her;
Then she lures you on to follow
Her slight figure through the hollow,
Up the hill-slope, Ger the stream
Ripping soft with silvery CLEAN.

Alter leaving college young Wikofl
sought his guardian and again sOunde d
him on the question of foreign travel.
This experienced gentleman advised him
to moderate his ardor, and instead of per-
hitting him to sail post haste for Europe,
cOunsel}ed him to study law. We find
him next in the Cflice of Mr.. Joseph H.
eerscll, reading Blackstone's "Commen-
taries,' but turning up the nose of dis
guest when pressed to master the obscure
Norman French of black letter copy of

more charm in Bulwar's "Pelham' than
he did in obStluse law books. Now
"Peliham,' as all novel readers know,
is the autobiography of a young English
man Of fashion, of buundleSs ambition
and Of great brilliancy. Mr.. Wikonr de
terrnined TO be another Pelham. He was
admitted to the Bar in 1884, but it was
not his inten, Jon to devote himself to the
laboriouS profession Of the law, tho

plodding and perSevering burner of the
midnight gas. Soon after he became Ell
titled to the honor Of attorney-at-law he
sailed for Havrc. Thence he went to
Paris, where he took in ali the sights and
real world. He took with him letters
from leading Americans, which obtained
him the right of way into the best of So
ciety of Paris. After three months of
delight he tore himself away from that
city, so dear to the American heart. and
travelled through Italy. Next he went
to London, and entered the city in June
when the season was at its height It was
there that he renewed his acquaintance
with the charming Miss Gamble, an in
tima-y which i'll after days caused him
much trouble. Then came a journey to
Russia and Turkey, and one who reads
his entertaining book, "Reminiscences of
an ldler, will fain confess that if any
young American ever had good time
on his travels it was Mr.. Henry Wikof1,
the devotee of fashion. The book is full
of vastly amusing gossip of great men
and of beautiful women with whom our
hero became familiar 1t is cause of
regret that within the limits OF this brief
sketch there is no room for some of the
capital anecdotes with which this book
is larded and enriched.
