A Valuable Gift.

A telegram from Utica, n. Y, CONVEYS
the Information that the Royal Laboratory
al Berlin has sent to DR.. w. III. Gibson
of the former city true cholera germ,
known as the comma bacillus, mounted
on a slide for use in microscope. It is
stated that the Berlin germs are undoubt-
edly genuine, having been obtained from
India, and propaQated through seventeen
generations by the celebrated DR.. Koch,
who then produced the original disease
by inOculating hog.
While it is n0tso stated, it is most likely
true that DIR. GibsOn's germ was eff
fectually slaughtered and embalmed be-
fore it was shipped from Berlin. Neither
is it stated how this germ was sent to
America-whether by mail, express or
common freight. Yet this is an important
matter, for if deceased cholera germ eau
escape the vigilance OF the quarantine
officials live one may as easily slip by,
and all the expensive preparations to
! keep cholera out of the country may pos
/ sibly come 20 naught.
American scientists and students will
/ hardly be satisfied with such investiga-
tions as they can make with the corpse
/ OF a comma bacillus, no matter how gem
4 uine it may be. In this nineteenth CEN
/ fury they will never be content until they
have a germ ranch of their own, where
! they can pursue their studies in the full
/ light of this advanced age, and where
they can raise supply 10 meet the great
demand for these creatures that is bound
to spring up all over the country. 1t may
be that germ propagation Will become an
important American industry which will
demand protection against the pauper
germs of European production.
If our quarantine regulations cannot
insure the keeping Of the hacilli out OF the
country, perhaps prohibitory tarff on
them win be effective The demand for
germs may not come alone from scientists
and students. IL may be found that they
will have purifying and beneficial effect
on Sehuylkill and contaminated well
water. Several eminent European and
Indian physicians have already declared
that they are harmless TO human beings,
and some have gone SO far rs TO swallow
them in order 10 demonstrate the fact II
the current stories about incubation are
true there is some reason TO believe that
the common bacillus bears the same rela-
ton TO cholera that the hair of the mad
dog bears TO his bite.

The determination of the English Gov
eminent 10 renew the crimes aet in Ire
land is meeting With the most vigorous
opposition from the PdrnelIites. The
crimes act, as is well known, was passed
only for a specified time. The effort to
renew it may produce such disturbance
in political circles in England AS to de-
feat the government in the approaching
elections.
The purpose of the crimes act was to
reach and punish such crimes as could not
bevery well reached ytho ordinary laws.
1t was harsh aud stringent. It. author
lied special commission courts Of three
judges, without juries, to try cases in
which the charges We're murder, fOrma-
ton of secret societies for violent pur-
poses, the intimidation of Juries, riots,
boycottings and disturbances Of the
peace. 1t punished intimidation and
/ boycOtting with severe penalties, and
allowed the Attorney General to take
/ change of venue and to dispense with
iuries when he pleased. Under it the
/ Lord Lieutenant had authority to
/ prohibit public meetings. 1t con-
/ tanned clause which made
! a person caught away from his home an
/ hour after dark Or an hour before daylight
/ liable to be arrested and imprisoned uu-
/ less he could give satisfactory explana-
/ ton Of mis- absence from his usual place
Of abode. 1t gave extraordinary power
to the police, allowing them to search the
/ homes Of suspected persons without
warrant, and permitted magistrates to
! examine witnesses relative TO an otfense
/ that had been committed even when no
one charged with the ohense was present.
! 1t gave the LORD Lieutenant power to
award compensation 10 any one who was
manned, Or TO the family OF any one who
I was murdered, if the crime grew out OF
unlawful associations or was the result
of land troubles, and the people in the
neighDOrh0Od where the crime WAS cOm-
mitted were taxed TO provide the compen-
sation.
The very suggestion of renewing this
act excites the utmost Indignation in
! Ireland, and the ParnelIites caa be de-
| pended on to fight the attempt at renewal
| to the bitter end.
The government hopes to divide senti-
meut in Ireland and secure the support of
some of the Irish members by it's land
purchase bill. II is understood that this
bill allows the tenants in Ireland to buy
their holdings at price to be determined
by appraisement, the government
to furnish three-Courths of the
purchase money and the landlord to re-
tain lien for one-fOurth OF the purchase
price. Before the lien is paid the greater
part of the government loan must be paid.
IL is not believed that the ParDeIIites will
be bought off from their opposition TO the
crimes act by this or any other measure.
They insist that the proposition to inflict
upon ireland such an act IN time of pro-
found peace is an outrage too great TO be
borne without a vigorous protest. The
debate upon this matter viii probably be
marked with much feeling. In order to
defeat the renewal of the act the Par
nellites doubtless viii do all they can to
| obsHuct the business of Parliament.

Are Men the slaves of Matter


From the NelO York Tribune.
Not more than a dozen members of the
MedcO Legal Society were present Thursday
evening at its monthly meeting in Hamilton
HSll, Columbia College, New York. Prof
Charles Heitzman delivered somewhat start
ling paper on Cor Present knowledge Of the
structure and Functions Of the Gray Sub
stance of the Brain" After demonstrating
that the ganglia in the gray matter of the
brain constituted its central apparatus, Dr..
Heitzman said that a great many persons
would ask. Are these gapglia really the seat
of the Intelligence or OF tho sOul?" This he
was not able to answer. He was far from
wishing to shake the faith of any one. but he
could not with the microscope demonstrate
the presence of the soul in the brain.
The lecturer described the undulating mo-
ton OF the living matter in the brain which
begins before birth and does not stop until life
ends. An instrument has been invented IN
Vienna with which piece of the sliced brain
of an animal may be examined while an cleo
trio current is passing through it, reproducing
the fluctuations that ceased at death. All
that we know so far pointed to mAterial
basis of the action of the body. Nobody wa
responsible as an Independent individual for
either right or wrong, but everybody is the
slave of matter. Man was an autcmatOn,
subject to the influences around him. The
professor n ade this theory a ground for advo-
eating mercy toward criminals. Society
ought 10 dismiss the motive of punishment
and act only upon that Of eXpediency.

Bow Fortunes az nfade.

An interesting document issued recent
ly by the Department Of State contains
the answers of the United States Consuls
in different parts Of the world TO the ques
ton propounded by the department: "Are
fortunes in the country to which you are
accredited readily made and lost?'
The answers are almost all in the neg =
tive, there being few instances in which
! it is stated that while fortunes are not
readily made just now they are very east
/ " lost. 1t seems that the whole world,
/ excepting those countries which are uu-
| happily the scenes Of war, have settled
down to steady. sober business. There
are men and syndicates engaged in specu-
lation, both legitimate and Legitimate,
but this is a solid decade, comparatively
few persons being willing to take great
risks, as The chances Of loss are much
greuter. as "a general thing than the
| chances Of success.
For several years past the Argentine
Republic has been enjoying a season Of
abnormal prosperity, hut there are already
indications that reaction Is about to set
in, and that many fortunes acquired very
quickly will as quickly shrink away.
With the masses of mankind this is es-
sentially the age of Flooding. Fortunate
are those who can earn more than they
spend, and thus pave the way TO future
competency. if not wealth. There are
comparatively few people who cannotsave
something by proper efforts to acquire
and the exercise of a sensible economy.
No matter how little one may make, it
should be his fixed policy to save small
portion Of it, and invest it where it will be
secure and available for future needs.
Reports from all parts of the world
show that the most solid and permanently
prosperous people are those who have ac-
quired their fortunes, whether great or
small, by the patient, plodting labor of
generation after generation.
An era of plOddng is not now what it
was in the dark ages of the world. Then
each generation followed blindly in the
path of its predecessors. This is not only
anera OF plodding, but Of progress. The
world is growing richer through the
gradual development of resources, many
Of which were hitherto unavoidable, and
it is also growing wiser and better.
1t seems that just now nearly all specu-
latiOns are extremely dangerous, if not
questionable from moral point OF view.
There is not only danger OF loss Of money,
but loss of character, and even danger Of
prison walls. The patient, progressive
plodders, however, shall inherit the earth.

Boston Letter to the Ninneap9Gjs Tribune.
Trowhridge is one Of a great many profess
sional men hereabouts who are irving to re-
new their muscular f6res by exercise on the
modern wheel. YOunger and moro active
men prefer the greater celcrity Of the bicycle
and enjoy the flavor Of danger that goes with
the uncertain poise on two wheels. Some of
.ur clergymen, those of he more liberal per
7uasions, suffer no los or dignity in bestrid-
ing the spirited steel whose only fault is an
occasional kickup behind, and young law
yers and doctors are thickly sDrInkcd
tmOng the riders who may be met
any pleasant day on the sandpa-
pered roa1s about Boston. Mr.. Aldrch
the editor of the Atlantic h0nt6IV, tells
with mach gusto of h attempt to conquer
the bicycle, and of the amazing eecentrcities
that the beast displayed at his attempted
mounting. The atlantic editor Is a brave
though modest young man, and the father of
twins, but no man knows that he ever made
second attempt on the bicycle. He is one of
he few who have given mp beaten on the first

The large wooden mills at Passaic, n.
j., have shut down until August, and
several hundred operatives are reduced
TO the verge Of starvation. They have
been receiving very low wages during the
winter, and have been able TO save moth
ing to live upon during their enforced
idleness. The immediate cause Of the
suspension was a strike Of the employees
for living wages. The mill men appear to
have the advantage OF them, and propose
80 let them chew the bitter cud OF renec-
tion and consider the bsnehcence OF our
system Of protection to American labor

Nothing cou'd he more humorous than the

transformation which has befAllen the two
parties than the fact that the last men whom
they respectively elevated to high Office at

Speaker who made Robson his adviser in
naval matters, and the Democratic President
who appointed Whitney as the head Of that
department.
