to M. Pasteur nor to any of his contempora- ries. but to Dr. Goiffon, who died at Lyons more than a century and half ago. Golf fon's work on the Origin of the Plague was published in 1721. It appears (so writes his fellow townsman, Dr. Moliere) to have creat- ed considerable stir at the time both in his native town, where he was famous for his practical skill, and abroad. The French schools of medicine, however, ignored him. He writes: s'Minute insects or worms alone can explain these diseases. It is true they are not visible; but it does not therefore fol low that they are non-existent. It is only that our microscopes are not at present powerful enough to show them. We can easily imagine the existence of creatures which bear the same proportion to mites that mites bear to elephants. No other hy pothesis can explain the facts. Neither the malign influence of the stars, nor terrestrial exhalations, nor miasmata, nor atoms, ,wheth- CT biting or burning, acrid or bitter, could regain their vitality once they had lost it. If, on the other hand, we admit the exist ence of minute living creatures, we under stand how infection can be conveyed in a latent condition from one place to break, out afresh in another" Few if any better state ments of the case have been made in later

have become an exemplifcation of the first of the two serious social evils to which she has called attention The sad story of her life is soon told. The lady, whose name is Rukmibai, was, when only eleven years Of age, given in marriage to a boy of nineteen In accordance with the Hindoo customs she remained as a child at her fathers house, was highly educated and is now described as being woman of refined and delicate man. ners, while the possession of more than av- craze intellectual qualities is evidenced by the character of her letters. The husband, to whom we must suppose she was for some family or private reasons betrothed, is said to be an ignorant and uneducated man, not elevated above the character of an ordinary laborer or coolie, and unable by his own ex- extions to earn 8 larger amount than ten ru- pees (about one pound English) a month. It is unnecessary to picture the fate of refined educated woman compelled to live with such man; almost any destiny would be prefera- ble to such life. Rukmibai refused to ac- cept the position into which she had been thrust when child and resolutely declined to live with the man who, according to the Hindoo law, was legally her husband, who consequently commenced 8 suit for the resti- tuition of conjugal rights in the High Court of Judicature, Bombay. MT. Justice Pinkey, who first heard the case, did not even call upon the counsel for Rukmibai to reply, but at once dismissed the case. But this did not satisfy the husband, who lodged an appeal to the High court, in which the case was argued before the chief Justice, the Hon. Sir Charles Sargent, and justice, the Hon. Lyt- tleton H. Bailey, who it is stated have taken time to consider their judgment. In many of the courts of judicature in India native gentlemen are among the judges; in the Bombay High court Namabakai Haridas a native lawyer, sits upon the bench; but in this instance the two gentlemen concerned are Englishmen, and it is not necessary to state that their sympathies were entirely with the defendant. But unfortunately for her the question they had to try was not one of feeling, but of law; and should they hold, as it is not improbable that they may, that the Hindoo law, which they are bound to ad- minister, affords no relief to wife who has been married by her parents as a child, the fate of Rukmibai will be one of the most painful instances of oppression and the cru city of enforcing old customs in the midst of a more modern civilization. Let us hope for the sake of the lady that the decision of the High Court of Appeals may be favorable to her; if otherwise she will have the sin cerest sympathy of every English woman to whom her sad fate is known, and she may perhaps derive some slight consolation from knowing that the injustice and wrong perpe- trated in her case must inevitably lead to al teration i'll a law so repugnant to every sense of morality and justice

The Elder watterson.
From the Cleveland Leader.

One of the pleasantest of the old young men of Washington is the Hon. Harvey M. Watterson, the father of Henry Watterson. Imagine to yourself a tall and slightly built man, with large head of gray hair, white beard falling upon his chest and Q pair of the brightest and kindest blue eyes you will find anywhere. Imagine this man to be seventy-fye years old, but at the same time to move about with firm a step as though he was but thirty five. Listen to his voice and it comes forth in strong chest tones. Talk to him and he will tell you that he feels younger as the years grow older, and that he hopes to last for many years yet. Said MT. Watterson once to me in response to question: "The first sign of mans failing faculties is seen in his voice. I can go on the street and speak in such tones as can be heard three hundred yards away. I spend my winters at Wash ington and my summers at Louisville, and while there look over the exchanges in the newspaper office and scan about fifty papers day. I am glad that am alive and I feel that my good health at this age is due to temperance and in not allowing myself to be worried about anything. I am very careful of my eating and have not had three un- happy hours from worry in my whole life: When I have stubbed my toe l have not damned the universe because of my careless ness, but thanked the Lord that l did not break my neck"

BUSINESS IN THE SOUTH.

RUSHN ESS IN THE SOUTH.
 The new South is getting to be pretty lively place. During the first six months of 1886 there were added to the number of man ufacturing and mining enterprises in that re- zion thirty new ice factories, forty fou ndries and machine shops, one Bessemer steel rail mill, eight miscellaneous iron works, three stove foundries, fifteen gas works, seventeen electric light companies, seven agricultural implement factories, seventy mining and quarrying enterprises, eleven carriage and wagon factories, eight cotton mills, eighteen furniture factories, fifteen waterworks, twenty-nine tobacco factories, forty eight flour mills, two hundred and forty eight lumber mills, including blaming mills, sash and door factories, etc., in addition to which there was a large number of miscellaneous enterprises.
 Some of the important business enterprises organized during the last month may be mentioned as an indication of the growth of the South. At Newport News, the tidewater terminus of the Chesapeake and Ohio rail road, drydock is to be constructed that will involve the expenditure of about half mill lion dollars, and which may result in the es- tablishing of an iron shipbuilding yard. At Chattanooga steps have been taken towards the construction of steel and iron works. In Alabama a company has been organized to build an iron furnace and charcoal works, and among other enterprises in that State may be mentioned knitting factory, three large sawmills, a cotton compress, cheese factory and coke works. In Arkansas there is to be new lumber mill company, a gold mining company. a stave factory, water works company, furniture factory; in Ken lucky coal mining company, coke works, new stone quarries; in Louisiana, rice mill and mining company; in Mississippi, water works and brick works; in North and South Carolnia cotton mill, shoe factory furniture factory, four mills, fertilizer works, turpen- tine distilleries and cotton mill improve ments; in Tennessee there is to be new marble quarrying company, an ice factory, broom factory, floor mill, several sawmills; in Texas an oil and cotton company, four mill and elevator, water pipe foundry and two waterworks companies.
 All this is very cheering. Business ideas were not very popular in the South twenty five years ago, but there has been 8 great change since that time. The new South is much better and promising place than the old South.

Hindoo Wives.

Public opinion in England was some time since aroused to a strong sense of indigna- tion by the republication in the English pa pers of the letters of "A Hindoo Lady" from the Times of India. These set forth in
 the most striking manner the evils of the Hindoo customs of infant marriages and of enforced widowhood. It is remarkable that the writer of these letters should in herself

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Labor organizations of New York city are boycotting Eh1et's beer. If they would boy colt all beer they would gain by the opera tion.
 The Laborer, weekly paper which is un- derstood to speak the sentiments of the Knights of Labor in Boston, gives an en- phatic approval of the punishment imposed by the New York courts upon the Theiss boycotters and blackmailers. 'Serves them right" it says; ''they were simply common criminals" This is the way the matter looks to most of the people of this country.
 It is admitted that not more than twen ty- five per cent. of the maple sugar and syrup sold by confectioners and grocers is made from the sap of the maple tree, and that the other three-fourths is made from muscovado, glucose, grape sugar, molasses, birch extract and chemicals. company in Kansas City advertise a substitute known "mapeline,' made from sugar and the essential oil of hickory bark.
 NewYork is the biggest city in this country, butit is not ahead of the other cities in some very important matters. In Chicago, for instance, six corporations have buried some 1 900 miles of wire in 4224 miles of conduit of various sorts. Of these the Chicago Tele- graph company has the largest amount of wires (seven hundred miles) in only three miles of conduit, or at the rate of 233 miles of wire to one of conduit, while the Western Union company has four hundred miles of wire to ten miles of conduit, or only forty to one. There are five other cities-Wash- ington, Philadelphia, Boston, Detroit and Brooklyn-in which there are considerable lengths of wire worked underground.
 Mr. F. Wyneken of New York city has ar ranged a very simple and valuable code of ice signals, whose use might add to the safe ty of those who go down to the sea in ships. He divides the North Atlantic ice region into squares of one degree of latitude and fong1- tude, and the most dangerous part of this re- zion into smaller areas, inserting in each area on the chart two letters. By the use of the international code of signals any vessel which has sighted ice can warn other vessels she may happen to pass by single display of the new flee ha9'' in combination with the flags of the international code corresponding to these letters. By the adoption of this code steamer approaching the ice region can quickly ascertain from any vessel which has crossed the Newfoundland Banks just where ice was seen and what kind of ice | (whether heavy pack, icebergs or light field l ice).

A City Lawyers Experience With a
Down East Ferry.
RUMFoRD, July 22.

RUMFoRD, July 22.
1t is a well-known fact that when the coun-
try cousins visit the city and act in way
that sees rather green, good laugh is Great
ed at their expense. SO il is fair for the same
rule to work when the visit to the country is
returned. One of Ben Buffers law partners
had little business in this section, and so
hired team at Bryants Pond. Everything
worked well until the Androscoggn was
reached, when the trouble began. He saw
no steamer, elevated road or underground
tunnel to convey him over, but seeing wire
rope stretched across the river. he concluded
it was put up for guide. so brushing the
horse he gently sailed forth until the water
ran through the wagon and the horse refused
to move. Someone told him it would be
unwise to attempt to proceed as no one had
crossed that way this year. why don't you
blow the born?' asked his advisor What
the deuce is the horn?" he asked. The mys-
terry of the ferry was explained, and they
were landed upon the shore, the lawyer hav-
ing learned much by visiting Rumford.
