THE ARGUS congratulates Miss
Alice Paul on her appointment as
postmistress at Newburg. She made
a gallant fight againt big odds, and
the shrewdest politicians in the
county. She has won after a stub
born fight. Personally, the ARGUS
feels sorry for Mr.. John A. Perrill,
for he is a clever gentleman and a
hard and industrious working man.
He has always been foremost in
fighting the battles Of his party, and
has never asked for Office before.
But he will have to console himself
that "many are called but few
chosen"

sTRIKING BELOW THE RELT.

The Journal comes back at Bro.
Mccormick for his criticism Of Geo.

whether Mr.. McCormick's objection 90 8r.
sturgiss ls based on the fact that he thinks that
sturgss's appointment prevented his az collector
or whether he really thinks SIR sturgiss has not
done the party fun service. makes little differ
ence Tor he IS wrong from either point Of view.
just as the ARGUS said. The
appointment Of Sturgss did not
defeat Mccormick for Collector.
1t was the opposition and protests
from Preston which defeated him.
The Journal confrmsit in the above
paragraph.
The J0urn0l further says
70 wac Gen. Picks wish that ~. sturri-s stump

How 10 DiSinfect.

Formerly it was universally believed
to dcodorize and to disinfect meant
the same thing-that whatever
would destroy ormask the bad smells
generated by filth or disease would
destroy the infection.
Every one now knows this to be an
error. The fumes of burning sulphur
are, to a certain extent, very ettec-
tive, and it came to be generally re-
lied on as n disintectant; but, accord
ing to DR.. Harrington, of the Har-
ward Medical School, Koch, by a
long series of experiments conducted
by himself and other experts, under
the most scientific conditions, hPS
proved that sulphur fumes are wholly
Intellectual against the spores, or
seeds, OF microbes, and also against
the microbes themselves, except on
the surface of infected articles.
Many other agents also, hitherto
relied on, are declared to be worth
less. The only diSiniectants now rec
commended are carbolic acid, chloride
OF lime and cOrrOsives ublimate. The
employment of these articles requires
good judgement, and they are not
adapted to such articles as stuffed
furniture, mattresses, outside cloth
inw, etc.
Steam. however, is speedily effec-
tive against all microbes and their
spores, and penetrates all bulky arti-
cies.
Professor Harrington urges that
the public authority in every city
and town should own the requisite
apparatus and conduct the disinfec-
ton, since it is more a matter OfpuO-
icthun private interest and its thor
OGwhnesS can only in this way lie
Guaranteed The State would great
~ Gain in the end.
I he following is the substance OF
the regulations for disintection in
hospitals, which are equally adapted
to private practice:
Bed and body linen are to be
changed daily; other articles about
the bed at ouce whenever sOiled. All
changed linen, bath towels and rub
Der sheets are to be Immediately
wrapped in a sheet soaked in carboliC
acid, one part OF acid to forty Of wa

soon as possible, and soak six hour S

The rubber sheets to be rinsed il

A Peculiar People.


Among the many scattered rem
nants of nations in India there are
few more interesting than the BENZ
Israel of the Bombay tide. The
Beni-Israel do not belong to the lost
tribes, nor have they any mysterious
connection with the Great Pyramid.
Their own legends aver that centuries
ago their forefathers, flying by sea
from a country in the north, were
shipwrecked near kenery Island, and
the survivors. seven families took re-
fuge at Navgoan, homeless, penni-
less. among strangers, and without
the books of their law The date of
this hegira is estimated from 1000
to 1000 years ago.
Since that date the little colony OF
fourteen souls has grown into dis
persed community Of 10000, not I'M
like the ordinary Konkan peasantry,
hut religiously observing the Jewish
Sabbath and whatever they can re-
member of the Mosaical law. They
have been hewers of wood and draw
ers of water to whatever king chanc-
cd to reign; but they are as much
Hebrews to-day as they were two
centuries before Christ.

who was also surrounded by q number
of his friends. Gen Golf mounted = chair
and addressed the crowd which had assembled
in tho room. He Claimed he had received a clear
majority of the votes cast, charged SpeAksE
Woods OF the house of delegates, with having
failed in the performance of his constitute nal
duties In not declaring the result, and said: i
