The Message.

The Presidents message. which we
expect to publish in our next issue, is
PLAN statement of the condition of
national affairs as summarized from
the reports OF the various departments.
The N. Y. 7rr5ane in commenting on
it says: Except on one topic it is
hardly more than review of the facts
presented in the reports from the De-
?artments. Respecting negotiations
with foreign powers, believed to be in
the interest OF our commerce and in.
dustry, he states his views and recon-.
mends action upon treaties pending or
10 be submitted. On other topics he
submits facts and formalrecommenda
iions with no strong and earnest rea.
soning in behalf of measures, and no
effort to uphold or effectively present
the principles of the party which elect.
ed him. The general tone of the
message is that Of an official who dis.
charges his duty with little expectation
that the majority in Congress will agree
with him."

NORMAL NOTES.

Prof Nelson, Of Louisiana, Mo-,
lectured according to appointment, in
the Chapel, Friday morning, upon the
Beautiful in Education" 1t proved
to be an intellectual feast to all who
heard 1t and the opinion that it consist
ed of beautiful thoughts beautifully ex-
pressed is unanimous. The teacher
who can follow out his suggestions
will be successful. His ideas were
practicable and well adapte d to the
schools. The professor may feel
assured that a welcome awaits him at
any time and upon any subject he may
choose to select.
On Monday and Tuesday we were
visited by a very important state com.
mittee composed of the following gen.
tlemen appointed by Gov. Crittenden
to inspect the public institutions of this
state A: Senator Ball, who represents
Marion, Pike and Audrain counties in
the Legislature Henry w. Bond of St.
Louis, and DR.. ]. M. Allen of Clay
county, attended by their clerk Huston
Ca1t,enden, son of Gov. CTittenden.
As these men represent varied inter
ests ot Importance to SO many it will
not be out of place to refer 10 them
more in detail. Senator Ball is a
young man. full of energy and thour-
oughly alive to the best interests OF
Missouri. He is a self made man
OF scholarly attainments and stands
high among his constituents. Henry
w. Bond is distinguished as an able
lawyer and a gentleman of culture he
is graduate of Harvard College, and
his abilities entitle him to high posi-
ton In the state. DR.. ]. M. Allen ol
Clay county, is an excellent selection,
for this committee he is an accom-
plshed gentleman of wide experience,
and We are sure no man has the best
interest of Missouri at heart more than
he has. The first two members nam.

by its practical wisdom. No speaker
has so won the admiration of all as DR.
Allen. He made a careful inspection

the friends OF the Normal rnay look for

ALARMING FATALITIES.

How long does it generally take
for the desease to run its course, and
what are the symptoms!"
"About two days, and 1t generally
proves fatal. In many instances those
attacked died in a few hours. The
symptoms are as related in the case OF
Joseph Day-griping pains in the
stomach. violent flux and hemorrhage
of the bowls. after a total or partial
paralysis and intense thirst. The lat
ter satisfied me that mineral poisoning
is the real cause of the epidemic. 1t
is a well-known fact that the streams a.
long, which the diseaseprevails find their
begin ming in the mountains among the
rocks containing alkali, arcenities and
other poisonous minerals. ntil re-
Gently no rain had fallen for many
weeks, and the streams had nearly
dried up. The water remaining, and
which these people are forced to use.
was, therefore, powerfully charged
with these poisons, and continued use
of it resulted in the epidemic. One
peculiar feature of it is certainly con-
tagious, for If it once entered a family
it let none escape, and l have been
been toll of instances were those who
have visited afflicted persons and have
not themselves used the water have
contracted the desease."
"Has any rain fallen recently in the
| infected regions"
Eyes, light rains fell last week, but
do not think they were sufficient to
purify the water and check the d.
