Election Laws.
Times-Democ1rat.

An investigation recently made of the
election laws of the various States
shows the widest diversity prevailing
Ihere are no two States in the Union
that have the same provisions, and the
difference is in many cases as great az
it we'll could be. And yet there is more
or less complaint everywhere that the
law does not work well and is full of
defects. Apparently a perfect election
law has not yet been found.
There is only one State in the Union
-kentucky-which clings to the viva
V0ce system, once universal in this
country. 1t is urged in it's favor that it
enables the result of the election to be
known Immediately, and especially that
1t prevents any tampering with the
ballots and Justification of the returns.
On the other hand it is slow and cum
bersome and it prevents free ballot.
thousands who, if protected by the
ballot, would vote for their own perso-
nal choice, obey the order of their en-
plOyers.
All the States except nine have regis
tratlon laws requiring voter to be
registered before he can cast his ballot.
Registration is new invention, but
one of the States, New Hampshire, re-
curing 1t previous to the war ); and as
late as 1870 only three States. The laws
concerning it vary greatly. Some States
require every voter to be registered !;
others only those in the cities. Ala
bama allows registration on election
day, and Illinois and all the rest of the
Western States allow a voter to be
sworn, in case he failed to register Four
States require certificates of registra-
tion two others certificates for the
cities only the others no certificates at
all. Five require the exhibition of
receipt that the poll tax has been paid.
and one, that all taxes have been paid :.
The regulations concerning the form,
size and color of the ballot is anOtter
late invention which has been adopted
by twenty-five States. There is the
same variety here. Some States require
only white paper for ballots, others
prescribe the size, others insist upon
white space under each name so as to
encourage Scratching" Vermont lays
down very particularly the language
that must be used Rhode Island and
Louisiana require thot the paper for
ballots be obtained from the Secretary
of the State.
All but three States require the bal
lots to be saved Alabama fixing the
time at sixty days, and Michigan and
Minnesota until the next election.
And yet despite all this legislation,
which has consumed months of work
by the Legislatures of the several
States, it is impossible to get an cleo
ton law without flaws, The last pres.
idential election brought forth innu.
merable complaints, both North and
South, against the present laws, and by
the time another election comes around
we may expect to see a great many
changes made with very little improve
ment secured.

VACCINATION.
How the Process Works i'm the
Human system SUBJ
jected to- Virus.

Pasteur had little difficulty, says
Prof. Tyndall in the Popular Science
Monthly, in establishing the parasitic
origin Of fowl cholera; indeed, the
parasite had been observed by others
before him. But by his successive cul-
tivations he rendered the solution sure.
His next step will remain forever mem
orable in the history of medicine. I al
Jude to what he calls "Virus attenua-
ti0n." And here it may be well to throw
out few remarks in advance. When
a tree or a bundle of wheat or barley
straw is burned, certain amount of
mineral matter remains in the ashes
extremely small in comparison with the
bulk of the tree or of the straw, but
absolutely essential to it's growth. In
a soil lacking or exhaused of the neces.
sary mineral constituents, the tree can
not live, the crop can not grow. Now,
cOntagia are living th ngs, which de-
mand certain elements of life just as
inexOrably as trees or wheat or barley !;
and it is not difficult to see that a crop
of given parasite may SO far use up q
constituent existing in small quantities
in the body, but essential to the growth
of the parasite, as to render the body
unfit of a second crop. The soil is ex-

is restored the body is protected from
any further attack Of the same disor-
der. Such an explanation of non-recur-
rent diseases naturally presents itself to
a thorough believer in the germ thero-
ry, and such was the solution which, in
reply to question, ventured to offer
nearly fifteen years ago to an eminent
London physician. To exhaust the soil,
however. parasite less vigorous and
destructive than the really virulent one
may suffice; and If, after having by
means of a feebler organism, exhausted
the soil without fatal result, the most
highly virulent parasite be introduced

OYSTERS ALL THE YEAR.-The public
firmly believes that oysters are not fit
to be eaten from the first of May to the
last of August. The letter "Rn is be-
lieveu to exert some subtle and malign
influence upon the oyster, by which an
oyster that is perfectly good at IL o'clock
o. m. on the 30th day of April becomes
nnwhoIesome fifteen minutes later.
This is one of the most curious super
stitions of the human race. There is a
time during the period between the tst
of May and the 1st of September when
some oysters are in poor condition.
They are not unwholesome, but they
are thin and tasteless. Were our res
taurant keepers to assert that poor oy-
sters should not be eaten at any time
they would act benevolent though
selfsacrifcing part; but when they tell
as that all oysters are unwholesome
during the months that are without an
err they are conspicuously inexact.
There is no reason why perfectly good
oysters should not be served all the
year roRnd.-Tae Cook.

church has been gravitating downward
and back so long that she's so low
down now that the world would back
water on them, and they can't ditch it

find food for wholesome reflection in

specimen of typographical accuracy.
Every conceivable precautiOn was taken
