the loss quite keenly.

hours the jury brought in a verdict of
mot guilty" A correspondent of the
Pioneer Prees says the verdict caused
surprise, as Alexander had been anx-
lous to plead guilty of manslaughter in
The fourth degree. Hon. John Lind,
of this city, conducted the defense, and
the verdict of the jury for acquittal is a
huge feather in Johns hat.
Morris tribune., 1886-10-06
The South Sea Bubble.

It was a financial speculation which
began in England about the same
time as did Laws Mississippi scheme
! in France. The South Sea Company
was established by Lord Treasurer
Harley in 1911. The public debt was
made the stock OF the company I'M
der an engagement of the Government
to pay 6 per cent interest at the end
of five years, and the grant OF a mon
opoly of the trade to the South Sea, as
the coast of Spanish America. Thet term
"South Sea" was for acentury Or two
applied to the Pacific ocean. Though
this trade yielded no great profit, the
company fiourished through it's reve-
nues from other sources, and became
SO well established as to vie with the
great Bank of England in controlling
the finances of the country. In 1719
the government, with the intention Of
reducing the rate Of interest on the
public debt and getting rid of certain
unredeemable annuties, proposed to
extend the privileges of the company
and allow it to pay off the annuities
with its own stock. The government
intended to give this company a most
excellent bargain, but when the plan
was proposed in the House of
Commons that body voted to
open the scheme of competition to
the bank of England also. The com
pany was thus compelled to offer
97, 100000 for its privileges; and not
withstanding this drawback, under
the extravaganza expectations of prof
its from the American trade and the
prevalent rage for specializing, the
stock Of the company was in great de-
mand. 1t was increased by successive
subscriptions, the price of shares rap
idly rising to ten times their face val
ue, at a premium of 1000 per cent.
Other "bubbles'' were started,
such as q scheme for fishery
of wrecks; to make salt water
fresh; to make oil from sunflowers :; to
extract silver from lead-all with
promises of enormous profits. "Mad-
ness ruled the hour" For lack OF
Office room the streets near Change
alley were lined with desks and clerks
flooded with business negotiating the
worthless stocks. The action of the
South Sea Company against some of
these wildcat concerns first broke the
spell and called attention to it's own
affairs, and when a feeling of distrust
was aroused the stock rapidly de-
clined. The news of the failure OF
Laws scheme and it's consequences in
Paris FASTENED the downfall of the
bubble" and as the year 1920 closed,
thousands of families who had en-
barked all their wealth on the sea of
speculation were hopelessly ruined.
Morris tribune., 1886-10-06
Hereditary Diseases.

A fallacious notion has somewhat
crept in that an intellectual man must
be below par physically, and that the
one faculty is necessarily cultivated
at the expense of the other. The old
proverb, mems sana in corpore sano,
has been fouted as an absurdity. So
much, very briefly, for the first cause
of race degeneration; the second and
the one to which this paper would di-
rect attention, is the influence of he
reditary diseases. This factor has
never received the attention it should
have had at the hands Of the writer's
on social science. The races Of which
we have been speaking had little of
this element to contend with. The
weaklings were either deliberately ex-
posed and left to die, as in the case of
the Spartans. or if they attained ma
turity they were held in such low es-
TEEN that they willingly kept in the
background. Look for a moment at
our modern civilization and mark
it's Numerically opposite tendency.
Every day hospitals. are being erected
to nurture the diseased and imperfect
specimens of q fur race, and every year
thousands of Schildren are by skill and
care saved from the death to which
nature WOULD consign them. All this
accords with our enlarged notions of
humanity and reflects great credit on
the zeal <ot the phelanthopist and the
science of the physician, but it exerts
baGneful effect on the race. To one
WHO has had access to any large city
hospitals, it is pitiful sight to see
the multitude ofchiIdren who are tided
over few years and sent out into the
world branded with an hereditary
faint, to propagate their wretched
breeds. The limits of this paper will
not allow any extended statistics, nor
the nature of it warrant special dis
cussion ofhereditary diseases but there
are two whose effects are apparent to
all, consumption and insanity. The
former, consumption, using the term
in it's widest sense, has for ages pro-
duced the most frightful ravages. For
example, in England, from 1887 to
1841, of the total number of deaths
from all causes, Is per cent. were
from consumption. In Philadelphia,
from 1910 to 1S49, the death rate
was one of consumption to six and
half from all other causes, or about
Is per cent.-Popular Science Month

A CuriOns Plant.
rom the Burlington Hawkeye.

From the Burlington Hawkeye.
A Mexican globe cactus is about
eighteen inches in diameter at the
largest part, some inches above the
sand in which it grows, and is about
as many inches high, tapering from a
bulge to a cone-like tip. It is complete
ly covered with two distinct varieties
of thorns -one kind slender and
straight, the others longer and curved
almost like fish-hook. the tips being
brownish or yellow, exceedingly hard
and tough. The plant is simply a
huge branch of green vegetable matter,
the surface being highly corruga-
ted, the ridges running spiral
ly, and thickly protected by
the thorns described. 1t grows on
the arid sand, drawing it's subsistence
from the scanty materials it contains
and from the air and dew, for rain
seldom or never falls upon it's desert
home.
The plant is anything but hand
some, but it is extremely useful. The
Japanese could as easily spare their
universal bamboo as the poor prim-
tive Mexicans could their cactus. The
long, straight thorns are used by the
native women as needles, the curved
ones are often and successfully used
as fshhooks; the tough, strong fibre
of the plant, when freed from its other
matter, is an excellent substitute for
our fax, and almost the only one
known among the Mexicans, and,
lastly, the sap supplies the people with
their national drink. The flowers are
SO beautiful yellow, about four inches
in length, and form a veritable crown
of gold to this unique plant. 1t is the
only plant which can be held up to
the public observation when in bloom
without the warning chestnut-colored
placard-Hands off

A Few Remarks on the Weather.

From the New York Tribune.
For number of years some of the
hottest weather of the season has
come in September. Close observers
are fond of asserting that those who
are wise in their generation will choose
rather to escape from the city the
first two weeks of September than the
last two weeks of August. August
used to figure in the calendar as hot
month, a sultry month. 1t is fast
losing that reputation. This year,
for example, as whole it was highly
satisfactory, warm, but not too warm,
and Astounding in refreshing breezes.
Indeed, the entire Summer of 1886
was one of the most agreeable in the
long line. The days when the grass
hopper was burden were remarkably
few. The stay at-home club found life
worth living, nor envied their fellows
who were out of town.
So much for the past-it at least is
secure. And according to Mr.. Calthrop,
who is accustomed to furnish weather
probabilities for the Syracuse Journal,
there is a bright prospect ahead. He
writes that "the next Summer promis-
es to be as good as or better than the
last. 1t would seem to be pretty
early for next Summer to be promis-
ing anything-but then Mr.. Calthrop
probably knows his own business. At
all events he is close student of sun
spots, and can boast that ''the fore
cast ofthe Summer given some month";
ago in the Journal has been completed
verified" He has reason to congrat-
ulate himself on the accuracy Of his
prediction, but we advise him to re-
ioice with trembling. The weather is
fond OF tripping up its most accom-
plished prophets.
