Eaquel Paris a conquistar Ia gloria,
luchando. no solo con IN ejereito de
grandes poetas, 81 que tambien con. ell
Inconvenience de. un idioma que no

Hace tres amos, leyendo en- Madrid
una revista americana de la cual era
20 colaborador que Sc publicaba en-
Paris bajo la direction de mi entu-
shasta amigo Ell poeta Diego Vicente
TeJera, sorprendieronme unos some
tos originalfsfmos insertos en- dicha
revista y frmados por Aug,tsto de
Arm0s, as1 como la noticia que daba
ell mismo periodico- de que en- breve
SO publicar1a en- frances un tomo de
poes1as del mismo autor.
Un mes despu6s, toda la prensa
parlsien Sc ocupaba de las Ryt}snees
bysontins, libro de hermosos versos
publicados por Augusta de Armas
en- Ell idioma de Racine y Corneille.
La literature francesa contaba va
con dos poetas eubanos de primer
orden que, abandonando patria 8
idioma, iban a enriquecerla con la
ardiente fantasia de los tropicos: Jo-
Sc Ma Heredia, que va tenia un nom
bre acababa de ser ministro, y Au-
gusto de Armas, que empezaba q
conquistarlo.
FL melancolico adoIescente. que
dos amos antes vagaba solitario Y
triste por las GALES de la Habana,
.ocupaba ahora la prensa parisien con
su nombre. jComo dudar de su
triunfo 81 al primer paso que daba
meta ruido; ST llevaba en- su alma
la prlmavera en- embrion de un gran
poeta Pero no basta IN libro: Pa
ris es IN monstruo de grandes fauces
que en- un instante devora un libro,
una fortuna 8 una existencia. Hay
que arrojarle mucha carne, para que
la devore hasta que Sc sacie.
7 Augusta de Armas Sc eclipse: no
volv1 a Cir hablar de 81, hasta ahora
que la muerte le ha arrebatado. OBJ
tenido ell primer triunfo, retir6se a
su buhardilla del Barrio Latino a
preparar otro tomo de poes1as fran
cesas que con ell t1tulo de Po6mes d'
aa CerOeou, ha dejado in6dito. Que
lucha debe haber sostenido en- esos
amos; lucha titanica con la miseria
que le rodeaba J con las ansias de
gloria que le atormentaban
Su muerte ha sido desastrosa no
muri6 de impotencia, pues ell libro
que deja escrito 10 desmiente tam
POGO muri6 de senectud, porque solo
contaba veinte y cuatro amos; murio
de algo mas terrible que todo ESQ
muri6 de haBsbre.
Luis Bonafoux nos 10 refere en-
estas frases: Augusta de Armas
murio de pesar; murio tambien de
hambre; Y Sc despidi6 a la franceso,
como verdadero par1si6n que era, a
escondidas de todo ell mundo, no te-
niendo quien le cuidara en- las no
ches de febre, nj quien le acompa-
nara llorando al cementerio. ~ nj

res la buena muchacha de o1os gar
zos, que tuvo SPIRIT para entenderlo Y |
para amarlo y perdonarlo!" /"
iComo este poeta, cuantos otros
40 han caido, y a cuantos mas no
es estara reservada la misma suerte!
Pero despues de todo, IN dia de
gloria y de felices ensuenos es pre-
;erible q toda una existencia mono
iona Y prosalca.

CONSUMPTION AND ITS CURE.

Much interest is manifested through
out the medical profession relative to
what is known as the Ami ok treatment
of consumption. 1t has been tried in
Philadelphia and other cities of the
East with great success, and some of
the recoVeries reported approach the
marvellous. The treatment is secret,
known i'll its details only TO few, but
the originator declares his intention of
making 1t public to the profession as
soon as he shall have demonstrated its
benefits to the full satisfaction of him
self and the public at large. One fact
may be stated to his credit: he does not
profess to have a specific for the dis
ease. He simply claims that he has a
mode of treatment that will cure in
many instances, and that by the isola-
ton of the patient all danger of COM
rlunicating the disease to others may
be removed.
1t is only within recent years that con-
sumption has been demonstrated to be a
contagious or Infectious disease. For
more than a century it was thought to
be simply hereditary. Advanced ply
sicians Of the present day, while recog-
niZing the patent fact that it is trans
mitted in the blood, also claim that it is
communicated to persons without hered-
itary faint by means of the sputum of
patients, dried in vessels or upon the
floor Of the sick room, ground into par
tlcles and set af1oat i'll the air, and in
hailed by the attendants or others. This
fact was forced upon the profession by
experience in hospitals devoted to the
care of persons afflicted with pulmonary
complaints. 1t was observed that many
of these attendants, although perfec thy
healthy upon entering the hospitals,
soon became victims of phthisis in
forms identical with these manifested
by the patients for whom they were
caring. For years these symptoms were
regarded as the result of close confine-
ment and the deprivation of fresh air, for
the sick rooms were carefully guarded
against fugitive draughts, or even from
proper ventilation. But experiments
upon animals and close scrutiny Of
the progress of the disease In human
beings exposed to contagion have dem
onStrated the fact that consumption is
one of the most contagious of all dis
eases that flesh is heir to. This discov-
cry formed one of the bases of DR..
Amick'S investigations, and whatever

uncertainty as TO Its verify existed was
completely removed. By the sly stem of
isolation of patents. which he has
shown to DO not only practical but hui
name TO them, he has removed one great
danger to the community. His reme-
dies for the disease itself, which have
produced such wonderful results, are as
yet experimental. not specific. This he
himself acknowledges, but he is salts
fed that his experiments tend in the
right direction, for results have proved
as much. Not having perfected them as
yet,or demonstrated their potency to his
own satisfaction, he refuses to give
them to the profession. lest the fate of
DIR. Koch should overtake him, and he
be denounced as charlstan and impos-
tor.
Immortality awaits the physician who
shall discover cure for this greatest
scourge Of humanity. Consnmption's
victims outnumber those of any other
plague known to the human race. No
city, town or hamletiS free from its pres
ence. The rich and the poor alike are
moved down on every hand. Its APP
preach is Stealthv and unnoticed until
its grasp has become firmly fixed upon
the vital forces. Those whom it at
tacks it Stays. There is apparently no
release, no hope for a return of health
or vigor. 1t kills gradully but surely
dries up the life blood and consumes the
sinews and the vitals. If this terrible
scourge can be robbed of its power, hu-
manity Will have been blessed as never
before, and science Will have achieved
triumph which will place its diScoy-
erer On the highest pinnacle of fame.

In STARTING his Penny Press, Br'er
Blethen expresses the belief that one
half of the population of Minneapolis
do not read daily papers at all, and he
proposes to have that half read his
paper. If Br'er Blethen expects to
accomplish this feat he had better
read the passage in Mr.. Dana's recent
address wherein he declarse that 70 be a
successful editor tie Bible should be
closely read and studied. Mr.. Dana
does not propose this as religious.
but as literary duty. We have his
statement that the work contains some
fine specimens of literary work. Now if
Br'er Blethen will take pointer from
this, and not only peruse, but quote
from that work, he will score a scoop on
his Minneapolis contemporaries and
furnish the Minneapolitan something so
new and novel that he can secure the
readers he desires.

MEMORY.

When the dead in cold graves are lying
Asleep. to wake never again,
When past are their smiles and signing,
Oh! why should their memories remafnf
Though sunshine and Spring may tighten
The wild flowers that blow Oh their graves
Though Summer their tombstones brighten
And Autumn pail them with leaves;
Though Winter have wildly bewalled them
With her dirge wind, as sad as a knell
Though the shroud of her snow wreath have
yelled them,
Still how deep in our bosoms they dWeuI
The shadow and sun-sparkle vanish,
The cloud and the light fleet away,
But man from his heart may not Danish
Ev'n thoughts that are torment TO stay.
The reflection departs from the river.
When the tree that hung Ger is cut down;
But on Memory's calm current forever
The shade, without substance. is thrown.
When quenched is the glow of the ember,
When the lfe-fre ceases to burn,
Oh! why should the spirit rememberf
OH why should the parted returnf
Because that the fire is still shining.
Because that the lamp is still blight
While the body in dust is reclining,
The soul lives In glory and light.

How to Raise Revenue.

To the Editor of the Globe.
[ observe with pleasure that the
GLOBE disapproves of an income tax,
because 1t is undemocraic, wrong in
principle and pernicious In its effects.
In advocating the American way of
getting revenue-as simple aud direct
as possible-the GLOBE voices the sem
timents of thousands of American cit
liens who have studied the problem Of
taxation. BY all means, let revenue for
the support OF government be collected
in accordance with the requirements of
the constitution, that is, apportioned
among the states. When this method
of raising revenue is adopted, Mime
sota.a and all other states as well. should
collect her share of the national revenue
bytaxing the rental value of land-that
value which attaches to land because of
increase of population and the
making of public improvements. As
theE community creates this value
it should be taken to pay the expenses
of government, instead of being allowed
to go into the pockets OF landlords.
Land is always In sight, and its value is
easily ascertained. A person cannot
estimate the value of his neighbours
Wealtn, out ne can teil Tie faIue oI HIS
land to dollar.
And if equal rights for all are to be
secured it is not only just, but it be-
comes necessary, that ground rent
should go into the public treasury, in
order that no person shall derive any
advantage over his fellows by the pos
session of natural privilege. Ground
rent Is sufficient to detray the expenses
of government. and it is not necessary
to have multiplicity of taxes.
The necessity for government and the
value of land are both the result of
population, and the revenue on ground
rent from the one should be used to pay
the cost of the other.

IT COSTS something to whip an editor
down in Indiana. A man at Ayilla I'M
dertook to teach the editor of the local
paper there thing or two, and to that
end thrashed him soundly. This was
about year ago. The court of the dis
trict has just condemned the whipper to
pay the whippee the sum of $3.50 in cash
and to stand all the costs of the suit. 1t
is safe 10 say that that individual will

IT SEEMS as if CorbeUt and Mitchell

states where fights have previously oc-
Cured have positively iDterdicted this

don or Minnesota. This is the only
state in the Union where such eXhibl-
tions are permitted, but the big sports
do not seem to care to come this way.
