AcGINTLEMAN away up in Maine
wants to furnish the JOURNAL with
special articles under the heading OF
scientific Miscellany" for consid-
Grafton. We are glad he has done
this good thing, but really regret we
cannot philosophically accept SO long
as the question whether the civil ser
vice and tenure-of-ofice laws shall or
shall not be repealed. The jour-
NAL is a solid paper, not much taken
up with those computations which
show how long it would take the sun
to dry up the earth, except so far as
evaporation may affect the Chesapeake
and Ohio canal and the Frostburg
Water Works. It prefers to smile at
the deep, far-reaching stratagems of
the prohibitlonists rather than at sub
divisions Of the electric light; or
laugh at the rosy effrontery blooming
perennially upon B. F. Buffers
cheek than at an artificial aurora
borealis.

The THEORY OF VACCINATION.
Prof. Tyudall suggests that, just
as tho soil may bs etlectual by being
robbed Of some essential ingredient
by one abundant crop as to be in
capable of producing another, so in
the human system parasitic disease
may SO completely exhaust the blood
of some ingredient necessary to the
growth and propagation of the para
site that the production of a second
crop in fatal or considerable quantity
may be impossible. 1t would thus
appear that protective vaccination or
incubation is simply the INTRO
duction into the blood of weakened
and comparatively harmless disease
germs to Consume the material which
might become food for similar germs
in more vigorous and dangerous
condition.

Julius Caesar
Will always be an historical character,
and inseparably connected with the
immortal name of Cesar is the Cloak
he wore at the time of his assassina-
ton, when he cried
"Et tn Brute !"
and persisted in all his glory. The
rents tile envious Cassius made with
his dagger when he helped slay Cesar
have been embalmed by
Shakespeare,
and will always be new as long as the
'Bard of Avon" is read and admired
which will be .toreuer.
Among the ancient Romans the Io9a,
or Cloak, had served distinguishing
uses. One worn by children Of both
sexes was trimmed with broad purple
border, fashion borrowed from the
Etruscans. Another was worn by
magistrates, and still another by those
engaged in sacred rites. Yet another
was known as the "manly gown worn
by boys on completing the fourteenth
year.

THE participle, raising" is used
in many connections, sacred and pro-
fame. "Raising wheat" "raising
bread" raising blockade, " raising
a house." raising the wind" and
''raising children" are common
idioms, the last named incorrectly for
rearing. There is also process de-
nominated "ralsing the dickins," an
inferior hyperbole descriptive of Ger
tain exaltations of the orthodox place
Of everlasting punishment. But the
latest and worst use of this obedient
participle is contained in the follow
ing paragraph of the Presidents
MESSAGE
All treaties in the line of this policy
which have been negotiated or are in
process of negotiation contain pro-
vision deemed to be requisite under
the clause of the Constitution limiting
to tho House of Representatives the
authority to originate bills for raising
revenge.
It goes without saying that tho
Constitution is innocent Of imposing
the restriction referred to, and the
President guiltless of such an unhap-
py statement Of perhaps the most i'm
portant power vested in the House OF
Representatives. We cannot speak
so confidently of tho blamelessness of
al treaties, for diplomats, like other
professional traders, sometimes have
old scores to remember. 1t was none
of these; it was tho simultaneous

An English Estimate of Sam Ward.
London Telegram.

II can not, indeed, be pretended
that Sam Ward who was univer.
sally known by the etfectionate name
of "Uncle Sam" belonged to that
galaxy of great men who shape Their
country's destiny, and are permitted
''to read their history in nations
eyes" Yet it may unhesitatingly be
pronounced that ne chronicler of
American annals during the last
thirty or forty years viii discharge
his duties adequately unless he takes
some note of Sam Wards career. No
country except the United States
could have produced such man, and
under no other circumstances could
ne have found such diversified op-
portunities of development. Tnack-
cray, who regarded HIM with peculiar
esteem and affection. declared there
was but one Sam Ward upon the face
of the earth. and to him no less than
to the first duke of Buckingham were
applicable Dryden's famous lines,
A man so various that he seemed to
be not one, but all mankind's
epitome." 1t is not as King of the
Lobby" or as the most refined. dis
eliminating, and genial of Amphi-
cryons, that "Uncle Sam will be
longest remembered on both sides of
the Atlantic. 1t was Impossible that,
however large the sums of money
acquired by him in his many sided
career, any portion of them would
ever have remained long in his oTn
pocket He was at once the most
generous and the most sympathetic of
men and nothing pleased him more
than to expend time, money, and
knowledge IN picking up some rare
volume which he was aware some
scholarly friend was eager to possess.
His presents to the ladies of his ac-
quaintance, whether English or
American, were as chivalrously bes-
towed as they were gracefully select
ed. Many time he has been known
in New York To devote half of the
last 800 that for the moment he had
at his command to purchase a bou-
quet which would be valued by some
fair recipient. in Fifth avenue. Such.
indeed, has been his kindness. and
such the delicacy of hIs attention to
Englishmen who visited New York
and Washington, that his latest ar
rival in this country was hailed in the
West end with a chorss of delight.
Many princely English home opened
its doors wide to receive him, and so
universal was mis- reputation as the
prince of good fellows that, even by
those who had never met him, "Uncle
Sam" would have been welcomed
with hospitsble warmth. When the
grave closes over all that was mortal
of Samuel Ward, "the uncle of the
human race, " there will, among the
thousands who knew him, be few that

TnE growth Of public sentiment
against the holding Of large blocks Of
the public land by syndlcates, foreign
or domestic, is commendable. A di-
rect way to crafty that sentiment
would be the passage by Congress Of
the act providing for the repeal of the
presumption, timber culture and DIES
ert land laws, under which so many
frauds have been perpetraed; under
which so much valuable land has
been diverted from actual settlers INTO
the hands Of land specu a.ors. There
ought, hereafter, to be permitted only
one mode of holding the agricultural
and pasture lands left ia the public
domain, and that in tracts OF 100
acres by actual settlers, with conditi'
ons so stringent that it will be lmpos-
sible for a man or woman to enter
piece Of land with the view Of selling
out to syndicate or an individual
Spectator For years valuable land
mas been fraudulently acquired by
companies who hire men TO enter
tracts under the several acts and hand
them over to them. An effort should
be made to annul all the patents
granted to syndicates or individual
under such fraudulent conditions.
