Mr.. CAhIe's Position.

The return of Mr.. Ben T. Cable from
his eastern trip on Saturday, was the &C.
casion of his being besieged by numerous
inquiries in regard to his possible candi-
dacy for congress. In reply he said he
was not seeking the honor, but that il
the nomination was rendered him with
out an acrimonious fight in the conven>
ton, he would feel compelled to accept
it. The ARGUS has discovered a very
general feeling over the district in favor
of Mr.. Gable, and the impression is gain
ing ground that he will make a much
stronger run than any gentleman who
might be named. The ARGUS itself, is
confident that Mr.. Cable can be elected,
and it trusts that when the convention
meets it will accord him a unanimous
nomination

FLIES AND CONSUMPTION.



Can the Disease be Communicated by This
Insect?
A number of very interesting ex-
periments were made by Spillman and
Haushalter recently, with view to as
certain what If any, probability there
was OF consumption being propagated
by the common house-hy. In a report
Just made to the Academy OF Sciences,
Paris, they embody the results of their
experiments. Knowing the interest
readers have in every thing that per-
tains to the cause OF this dreaded dis
ease, we briefly state the following in
regard to their observations: They
made repeated examinations of the ex-
orement and of tho contents of the In
testlnes Of the flies that fed upon the
spIt-cups containing the sputa of con-
sumptive patients. They invariably
found present in this excrementitious
matter the bacillus OF tuberculosis, the
demonstrated contagious principle of
consumption. They also found these
bacilli present in the dried excrement
OF the flies as it was scraped from the
walls and windows OF the rooms occu-
pied by consumptives. 1t has been
well demonstrated that these germs
possess wonderful tenacity of life,
and they suggest, in their report,
how easily the air or food and drink
may become polluted by the dried re-
mains, or dried excrement of flies
having access to the sputu of con-
sumptive patients. They further sug-
gest in their report that suitable. re-
ceptive soil, is quite AS necessary as n
suitable seed for successful implanta-
tiop and propagation Of tuberculosis,
The practical deduction from these
experiments Is the great Importance
OF promptly and effectively disinfect-
ing the sputa and spit-cups of these
unfortunate patients-either by the
complete destruction OF the sputa by
FIRE, or by strong solution of corro-
sive sublimate, or of picnic acid. This
report, and the practical deductions
therefrom, only more strongly con-
firm us in the opinion that too great
care can not be observed in the ex-
posure of the well 10 this disease
that consumptives ought not to cast
their expectorated matter upon the
ground and upon the floor OF churches
and public halls, to be dessicated and
set ahoat in the air, to be breathed
into the lungs, and to contaminate our
food and drink. Then, too, greater
conveniences should be provided for
such cases by the railroads in the pas
'senger coaches. AS it is, almost in
variably the sputa is thrown upon the
floor-more or less becomes dried
and adherent, and then later set ahoat
to produce its noxious effects. -Boston
Bulletin.
