The Democratic Tariff.

If there is to be action on the tariff
at this session tits likely to be the
bill which has been introduced in the
House by Morrison though it could
not get the endorsement of a majority
Of the committee of which he is
chairman. This fact is quite nignifi.
cant, as suggesting the measure of
unity existing in the party. Morri-
son, determined to make his bid for
the Presidency, lets them go when
they refuse to go with him and
strikes out on bis own hook. If the
theory of the free traders is correct
3s dc not know but bis bill is as cor
rect as any that is likely to be devised.

Report OF DIR. Helc0mb Showing the M.
,istence OF this Terrible Malady Among
Horses. 81 - ala
KANSAS Cry, May 2s.-A special to the
Journal from Topeka, says: The number
Of cases Of CHAMBERS in the State is becoming
alarmingiy great especially as there have
been three, well authenticated cases in the
human family. Two men in lava County
have died of this terrible disease. One was
reported some time since in the Journal.
The other, Justice of the Peace before
whom DR.. H0lcomb and two members of the
Sanitary Commission were brought for desc
Grating the grave of a saurian, but who re-
leased them, was attacked by the disease,
and within twelve hours after it developed
itself was a corpse, after intense suffering.
Another case is now reported from
jackson County, that of little
girl who was inoculated accidentally
through slight scratch on her hand by a
pet horse. She fingered but short time
when death kindly put an end to her suffer
ings. In all cases is this disease fatal to
man. Reports come to DIR. Holcomb from
nineteen counties i'm the State where the
disease is known to exist or is suspected.
Sometimes the symptoms are so blind as to
deceive the veterinarian. One case was
that where DIR. Holcomb was called ON to
examine horse, which, had his attention
not been called to it, he would never have
suspected the presence of the disease. 1t
was known that whenever this horse
changed hands CHAMBERS followed in other
horses. The last owner suspecting it, called
the aid of the veterinarian, who, with all his
skill, was in doubt. The owner, however,
said: "Order the id horse killed" 1t Was
done, and upon post norton examination
his head was found to be reeking with rot
tenness. This. one horse had spread the
disease in several localities, his track being
as noticeable as the path of cyclone
through the State. So far as reported there
have been only one or two men who have
objected to the killing of their animals, all
the others considering the total loss. gain
to themselves and their neighbors. The law
does not recompense owners for animals do
stroyed, but the additional safety to man.
kind is reward enough. There arc maAy
cases of suspected CHAMBERS reported, and as
fast as possible DIR. HOlcomb inspects the
animals, and orders them killed whenever he
finds the disease. COG &E..- ..rr. .

surrounds the ironwork. The vault,
which is burglar, fire, and waterproof,
constitutes distinct building in itself.

TIE British shin Charlotte Groom

The British ship Charlotte Groom, in
addition to her regular cargo, brought
into New York recently good many
bucketfuls of pumice, which had been
spread over wide expanse of ocean by
the Java earthquake. The ship first
encountered the floating masses on Feb
ruary 9th, when she was fourteen days
out from Chittagong. She continued
70 pass through them for thirteen days
and over twelve hundred miles. The
fragments were so thick in the water
that when great lump was fished out
the bucket could not be lowered in
time to catch the next big one. From
the amount seen and the length of
time the ship was passing through it, it
is estimated that the belt of floating
volcanic matter must have been over
one thousand miles wide and five or six
thousand long. The pieces picked up
have tiny marine shells in the crevices,
and were just beginning to be coated
with seaweed. The belt followed closely
the line of the southwest trade.

that there is no money to be made out

the frugal habits of the fatherland with
them. even when they come holiday
