Scnrlet Fever in Cows Milk.

The latest theory-by no means re-
assuring one-as to the nature and
origin Of scarlet fever is that it may be
had direct from the cow" and is, In
short, the form assumed in human
beings by some originally vaccine dis.
ease. An epidemic, or rather several
epidemics, of scarlet feverin Marylebone,
Hampstead and other districts has been
traced to certain milk. Every care has
been taken to discover whether the milk
could have been infected after leaving
the COW, and on full investigation this
theory has been excluded. One Of the
COWS, athe appearance of which was
least satisfactory" has now been bought
and conveyed to the Brown institution,
where experiments are being made with
the milk and other socretions. The
sanitary officers of the Marylebone dis
trict certainly deserve credit for the
promptitude with Which they seem to
have nipped in the bud what might have
become a formidable epidemic, and for
the care with which they have conducted
an Investigation which may lead to i'm
portant scientific results.-Pall hall

Tho Unhappy Lot OF m Editor Who
Tackled This Question.
1t would seem at this time, that while so
littl. is being said on the currency question,
and especially by the men who really con-
troll the currency, that a word from me
would not be out Of place.
Too much talking has been done by those
only who have a theoretical knowledge OF
money and its eccentric habits People
with mere smattering Of knowledge re-
garding national currency have been To-
uuacious, while those who have made the
matter study have been kept in the back
ground.
At this period in the history Of our coun-
try there seems to De general stringency,
and many are in the stringency business
who were never that way before. Every
thing seems TO be demonetized The de-
monetIzation of groceries is doing as much
toward the general wiggly palsy Of trade as
anything know of.
But may say, in alluding briefly to the
silver dollar, that there are worse calami-
ties than the silver dollar. Other things
may occur in our lives which, in the way Of
sadness and ithree-cornerei gloom, make
the large, robust dollar look like an old
fashioned half-dime.

The following is the literal translation
Of q certificate recently given by an
A-ab householder to one of his Gus
toners:
sIn the name of God, compassionate
and mercif,1l, thanks be to God the Lord
of the universe. Prayer and health to
the most 5llustrious Of the prophets, to
his posterity and to all His friends.
Thanks be 20 God that by his will the
armament moves, that by his mighty
power He has created the world, the
birds, horses, and every living thing, and
to Adam also, whom He commanded
His angels themselves to honor. To
some of these beings living from the Gre
alton the Lord promised his favor, hap
piness and paradise, and for others He
decreed scorn and His vengeance, which
is the hell announced from eternity.
Thus it is, as the Lord hath said, He has
omitted nothing from the book which
was for the pleasure of man. He has
granted to him the passion of love for
women, Ol dllcCtlOiA AVA SAAAASAA, AVA
thoroughbred horses, for birds, and for
every living thing, and for gold and sill

he has, also said, the stable OF your horse
shall drive away your enemies and those
of your God. His shoulders are glory,
his entrails are hidden treasures, and his
neigh serves to drive away the
devil and his princes. All this
that has been said comes from
the prophet (N1ohama) on the subject OF
horses, and on him may the prayer and
the peace of God rest. And finally this
testifies that the mare sold to Don Full"

rho old Custom OF "Round-Plowins." I"
The village of 'Minussinsk, in Russia,
has been troubled by the pet among its
cows; and the oonscript fathers Of the
community, held q meeting to decide
upon the best means Of putting a stop: to
the calamity. It, was agreed that re-
sort should be had to the old SlaVonic
custom of round-plowing. A Russian
paper gives an account of the process.
Seven virgins, two old women, and q
Young bachelor of good character are
elected. Atmidnight procession Of the
peasants is formed, led by the two old
women carrying pictures of saints. In
the rear of, the procession the seven
maidens are harnessed to q plow, which
is guided by the young man. A light
furrow is plowed around the village; and
thereby, according to the belief of the
local agriculturist, a barrier is provided
against the evil spirit. He has no power
to pass over the mystical furrow.-Chi-

The roaring of steam whistles and occasional fog bells were the only evidences of its snearness. to a great city. The miii- .tary companies were astir at an early shour. The. little steamer Atlantic, which darts to and fro between the Battery and pier on the island brought over loads of officers in uni ,forms, and citizens in dripping over coats. The .privates who were pacing along the brick walk ill front of the headquarters looked disconsolate enough in their, wet uniforms. Last evening everybody upon the Island was allowed to enter the parlor in sxhich Ger. Hancock's body lay, and take a farewell look at the dead coun- .tenance.. For nearly an hour the off gcers, privates, servants and messen- gers filed by the coffin. Many eyes were filed with tears at the solemn snectarle

Chinese Fly c.u,siOn.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Ij.-The Mitch ell bill is exciting considerable dis cussion among the Californians here. Congressman Felton Feltan, who has studied the question as much as any one else in the delegation, says that the Mitchell bill would destroy all communication and trade between this country and China. He thinks that this would be an evil that might very easily be avoided, without diminishing the force of the stringency of the eX
 clusion clause. He favors the abro- gation of the Burlingame treaty and then the enactment of thorough going law prohibiting the immigra= tion of Chinese. He favors the adoption of the old commercial treaty which would permit Amer cans to re- side in treaty ports in China and Chi nese to live in certain designated American ports, for the purpose of trade only. He would forbid Chinese engaging in any other occupation than that of international commerce. Felton has not introduced bill on this subject because the other mem bers of the delegation here thought it might impair the prospects of the Morrow bill, but now that Mitchell has brought forward 8 bill, which Felton thinks has some bad features, he has determined to embody his
 ideas in bill. The Felton bill stands midway between the Morrow meas ure, which may be designated as pre- ferring the present law, and the Mitchell bill, which cuts off all trade and practically all communication between the two countries.

As our reporter was coming down Allen streeC this afternoon, he over heard two gentlemen talking ahout a rich strike occurring some place. The gentlemen were so earnest it. tneir re- marks, that the reporter finally ac- costed them and asked for some in formation regarding this wonderful strike. The gentlemen stated that they would do so with pleasure, as there was nothing secret about 1t. They said that the strike was in the Oriental saloon and that the ore was the finest of wines liquors and cigars, and advised everybody to go and get 2 sample.
