The following is from an interview the
editor OF the Harrlsonburg State Repub-

cines unnecessary from the beginning. IL
IS thought that he will be able 90 leave
his bed in a few days. but that the limb
cannot be safely used for probably six
weeks. The Judges chief distress. as
might have been expected, has its source
in his inability to attend the sittings OF
the Supreme Court OF Appeals. Of which
no IS a most useful member, during its
June term at Wytheville
We hope that Judge Harrison may soon
be restored TO his place upon the bench,
where he has rendered such acceptable
service TO the profession and 10 the State,
and that out of this III may come at least
a much-needed rest.

Judge Harrison's Accident.
Virginia Law Register.)


We are sure we may assume to speak
for the entire bar OF the State in tender
ing their sympathy along with our own
TO Judge Harrison over the very distress
ing accident OF which he was recently
the victim. We have taken pains, Just
before going 10 press. to inquire as TO his
condition. II is gratifying to report that
he is as comfortable as is possible under
the circumstances, and that his complete
recovery is but a matter OF time. Both
bones of the right leg were broken above
the ankle, accompanied by an ugly flesh
wound AT the point OF fracture. The
wound has delayed the use OF plaster
splint. with the result that the patient
will be confined 10 his bed longer than he
would otherwise have been. His attend
ing physician reports that he suffered
no shock from the injury. and bears his
pains and enforced confinement patiently
and cheerfully. His general health is ex-
cellent. and his splendid physique and
nerve have rendered anodyaes and medl-

The kilograms from New York concern
ing thu silver market on Friday show
that silver moves up and down very
slowly. We quote:
"Silver certificates were easier at the
Stock Exchange to-day and the aggregate
sales fell off TO $4,000 at 63aes Ia. as
against transactions Of s235,0c0 yesterday
at 50 l-2q69 3-s. The aggregate dealings
thus far this week are 5000 ounces
The engagements of silver for shipment
to Europe Saturday foot up l,oe6,0ot
ounces. This is the largest outgo in a
single day for a long time. The latest
gossip on the subject points 10 Japan
as the next extensive purchaser, the
points being made that the increase In
the paper money OF the country incidental
to the Chinese war, from 100000 to over
22j 900, coo yen, was made without a sufii-
cent provision for money metal"
That reminds US OF the Confederate
Treasury notes.

WOMAN GARDENERS,

The German experiment Of establishing
horticultural schools for the training OF
women as gardeners promises 10 be
great success in the way OF developing
another field for woman's work. The
first school Of this character was start
ed by Fraulen Or. Cashier, at Fri3de-
nau, near Berlin, on october ], 1884, and
the first class of seven members VIII
be graduated from that institution next
fall, when one of the graduates will enter
as teacher a similar school recently es-
tablished at Riga, In Livonia. The courses
of study, extending over two or three
wears, include not only the most varied
branches OF gardening and horticulture,
but also such scientific and commercial
instruction as is needed for the success
full pursuit of the business. Two students
OF the school have already established
themselves on rented land, and proved
the prontableness OF the occupation, and
IL Is said there is a demand for thorough
ly-trained female horticulturists as su-
pcrintendents Of the gardens on large
estates. on the 1st OF October next
the second institution Of the kind in Ger
many will be opened on the estate OF
Baroness Won Barth-Harmating, near
Plauen, in Saxony. The results OF the
experiment have proved so satisfactory
that in January last a society for the
promotion Of the support Of women by
means of fruit-culture and gardening was
formed OF which Fraulein Anna Blum,
Of Spandau, is secretary. The Nation
thinks that there is in the German ex-
perience suggestion to the American
agricultural colleges that admit girls TO
their classes. but make no serious effort
to turn them out as practically trained
GA rdcnprs.

NarlllDlOn, ~ -, june '"''s
Dear Sir,-Your letter Of the ID instant
TO Secretary Morton has been referred
TO me for reply. You ask for the best
results that scientific men in this de-
partment have been able TO obtain as
TO the mortality caused by the drinking
OF milk from COWS affected with tuber-
culosis. and also the mortality from the
eating of meat of animals likewise dis
eased. | regret that this department
has no statistics on this subject; and /
know of none TO which | can refer you.
We know, i'm a general way, that the
milk from cows which are affected with
tuberculosis may contain the germs of
that disease. and may produce the dis
ease I'm calves and pigs and other ami
mails TO which 1t is fed. 1t seems pro-
bable that such milk would also produce
Tuberculosis in mankind. There are sta
tistics showing that a large proportion
of the human mortality is due to tuber-
culosis. but from the nature of the case.
Il is generally difficult or impossible TO
say how any particular person contractea
the disease.
Meat is less dangerous than milk, be-
cause the muscular tissue of cattle less
often contains the germs and also be-
cause meat is usually raised TO tenn
perature destructive to germs while 1t is
being cooked
Very respectfully, y. Y. SALMON,
Chief of Bureau.
