The following is minute descrip-
ton of the glanders: II this disease
always assumed the same character,
and every glandered horse presented
the three special symptoms-greenish,
sticky, and at times, bloody discharges
at the nose, the hard, painless and
adhercnt swollen glands at the jaws,
and above all, the peculiar and char
acteristic ulcerations of the mucous
membrane upon The cartilage of the
cavities of the nose-.there would be
no difficulty in recognizing it. I'm
fortunately it assumes many forms.
Sometimes they are only slight gland
ular enlargements; at others, dis
charges from the nose, while in third
animal neither of these will exist, and
only small ulcers will be detected in
the upper angle of the nostrils. The
horse may appearin healthy condition,
with nothing apparently wrong to q
casual observer, able to do its work
without signs of fatigue, and yet COM
municate the loathsome disease to all,
even mankind, who may come in
contact with it.

form, the appetite is impaired, the
pulse accelerated, general prostration.

purple streaks on the membrane Of
the nose, discharge from the nasal
chambers varying from watery to
sticky mucous character. Little red
elevations will frequently be observed
on the mucous membrane Of the nose,
which develop into ulcers Of irregular
form and color. The glands on the
inside of the jaw are enlarged, hard
and lumpy. Sometimes cough Is
present. In the latter stages the ma
sal discharge becomes bloody, fetid.
and so profuse as to cause suffocation.
If the disease is chronic, thore is

membrane of the nasal chamber, but
the ulcers are sometimes so high up as
to be seen with difficulty. There will
also be discharges from both nostrils,
which vary from thin watery, to

there is no fever, and the animal ap-

The nerves and their d diseases are
attracting large amount of attention
from medical men every day; and not
without cause, it seems. Speaking at
Brighton the other day, in behalf of
the National Hospital for the Paralyz-
ed and Epiloptic, in Queens square,
Bloomsbury, DR.. Chrichton-Browne
dwelt on the conditions of modern life
which tend to produce nervousness,
both as temperament and disease.
"In the history of civilization" he
said, 1--WE have had a stone age, and
an iron age, and parallel with these in
the history of human development we
have had bone age. muscle age,
and n nerve age. With the applica-
ton of iron to the manufacture Of
machinery and the substitution of
steam-power for brute strength, the
strain Of existence was transferred
from the muscles to the nerves. The
sons of Adam eat bread now, not in
the sweat of their faces, but in the
fever of thier brains, and thews and
sinews are of small account in COM
parison with nimble nerve fibers." The
mortality from nervous diseases ap-
pears to be advancing rapidly. Apo
plexy, neuro-cephalus, and paralysis
are, according to DR.. Crichton-Browne,
carrying off a larger number Of vic-
Tins year by year. They caused l05, 1S9
deaths iu the period of five years 1861
I65, and l45,509 deaths in the i've years
'1S76-S0. Those who deny the exist
,ence of oyerpressure should at least
consider these figures, s,--St- JcWes' Ga

gigantic proportions. The calculation
Is to provide facilities for delivering
500, 100000 gallons of water daily from
a point some forty miles away. Pract-
ically the new aquoduct will be an
enormous tunnel, longer than the COM
bincd lengths of the three greatest

the Mont Gents, and the Arlberg. The
greater part of it will be exoavated

OF 220 feet below the ground furface.
In some places IL will be 800 feet be-
low. Instead of crossing the Harlem
river on bridge, as tho present aque-
duct docs, it will be cut through
