alliance epidemic has been discovered.
Il is Of the species plu-toc-ra-cy. There
are two principal varieties classified
under this species -repub- -plu-toc-ra-cy
and demo-plu-toc-ra-cy. The expert
mental application OF remedies was
tested quite successfully on the 4th day
OF November last. The result was very
satisfactory and on the 9th Of January
the efficiency OF these remedies was
fully demonstrated. There seems now
TO be kind of epidemic fungus infect
ing the animals themselves, similar in
its effect TO that which Prof. Snow has
applied to the chinch bug; and there is
no doubt that in 1892 these microbes

IL is reported that John Jacob Astor
paid his minister 81. 900 FOR his consent
to live with Miss Willing. $50. 600 for
the floral decorations for the wedding,
to say nothing Of the cost Of the mar
rage license. In the city OF New York
the Astors have absorbed through po-
litical tricSery and fraud a principal
share of the blessings OF life found on
Long Island. Every year they turn hun
drcds OF poor families out into the
street. These unfortunate men and wo-
men and children have no place to lay |
their heads. They are unfortunate be- |
cause they are the victims OF condi- |
tion whereby the strongest and most |
cunning survive The men who eject |
