Gov Gordon sent a message to the
legislature, suggesting legislation
looking to a change OF the chain
gang, or penitentiary lease system of
Georgia. He suggests either the
working Of convicts on the public
roads, or on experimental farms, un-
der the control Of the Agricultural
department, and rather favors the
latter as an experiment, at once, by
establishing one farm, and if success
full to finally adopt a number suffi-
cient to employ all Of the convicts.
lie believes this would remove their
competition with free labor, allow Il
separation of sexes and younger con
yicts from the hardened criminals,
tending to reformation and admit of
valuable agricultural experiments
not admissible by individual farm
ers.

Untrue men are found everywhere,
and there is no human organization,
whether ecclesiastical or political,
that is free from them; and it were
as well to denounce the sacred ordi-
nance of marriage as corrupt because
man and women have been found un-
true to its VOWS, az it is to bring the
charge of corruption upon a great
political party because some of its
professional adherents have been
weighed in the balance and found
wanting. All good men will identity
themselves with the party whose
principles accord most perfectly with
their own, and there they will remain
as firm as the Rock Of Gibraltar, to-
tally unmoyed by the Auctuating
opinions and vaciliating actions Of 9th
ers.

THE CONTRACTION OF CONSUMPTION.
New York Tribune.


A singular instance Of the conta-
giousness of consumption is related
by French medical journal. A
young man who had contracted bron-
chtas married a healthy woman.
Within a year he died of consump-
ton; not long afterward his widow 5
lungs were found to be fatally diseas-
ed; and their child soon followed
them. One of their neighbors, ro-
bust young woman was suddenly at
tackled with the same disease. While
she called epeatedly at the house of
the consumptiye family, she had new
er remained in the sick room over
night; but she had eaten chickens
which had been killed on their farm.
AS it was reported that several of
these fowls had died prematurely,
the medical authorities decided to
have other chickens killed and ex-
amined. 1t was then discovered that
the fowls had contracted consump-
ton, their livers containing the bac-
I'LL now recognized as characteristic
OF the disease. These fowls had
swallowed the sputa of the infected
family and contracted the disease,
and the unlucky neighbours daughter
who had eaten one of the fowls liy-
ers, became a victim in her turn.
This is one of the most remarkable
stories ever youched for by medi-
cal Journal.
